NOTES AND OPINIONS.

Times: There called at the Centen-
nial rooms yesterday the wealthy Kan
sas farmer, Grant, proprietor Of 500, 600
acres Of land in that State, 200 being
under cultivation, and tht remainder
being devoted to hay and grazing He
has barn there ! ,270 feet long, owns
500 cows, 10000 sheep and hundreds Of
other animals. He says that in his
display of stock and wool at the Expo
siJion he will show the superior clean
illness OF American over Australian
wool,
Arsene Houssaye tells of II plebeian
who went to Rothchild to borrow -, q
600. "Here it is.r said the Baron !;
but remember TINT as rule only
lend to crowned heads. " NJ De Roth
child never dreamed OF seeing his mon
ey again, but, wonderful to relate, at
the end Of n month the borrower came
back with his 81, 600. The Baron could
scarcely believe his eyes, but he fore
hoded that this was not the end. Sure
enough, n month later the borrower
reappeared, asking for the loan of 81, =
600. "No, no,n said the Baron 'you
disappointed me once by paying me
TINT money. do not want to be dis
appointed again."
Courie.J Journal: A mighty war of
the 'pathies" has been inaugurated in
California by the Introduction of bill
into the Legislature "for the suppress
sion of quackery, and the protection of
the citizens from empiricism," which
was intended as blow to the homeo-
pathists. The physicians ofthis school
have sent protest to the Legislature
ienouncing the bill ss product of al
lopathic impudence, and submitting
the draft of bill more catholic in its
nature. 1t is probable that the Legis-
lature will he rent asunder over the
discussion of these antagonistic docu-
ments, for both sides have representa-
tives there, convinced of the business of
their respective causes. The allopathic
bill gravely proposes to make that
school the established medical practice
of the State. The disciples of Hahne-
man, In that event, would have to en-
CRATE.
There was some very plain speaking
at the meeting held in Charleston,
South Carolina, last week to commend
Gov. Chamberlain for refusing to sign
the commissions of some of the newly
elected Judges. One speaker said /;
"The only resort which the corrupt
majority can have is by impeachment.
If General Grant, the President of the
United States, thinks that Governor
Chamberlain ought to be impeached,
then, If he will erect the United States
flag over the Statehouse, and station
his soldiery outside while that inn
parchment is going on, it may be safe
~ done. We never intend to fight
against the United States again
TCheers. I But if this Legislature, with
out that United States flag floating ovei
them, attempt to impeach the Gov
ernor- well, | wouldn't like to be the
insurance agent that had policies on
their lives. Immense applause

in London, informed his audience thai
every shot from the new big guh a

: the weapon itself was el5,OOO, and al
together it must be regarded as rathe
, an expensive military luxury. FIFTY
years ago line-of-battle-s ship carryin,
ten guns would have cost but f2, 1000
or $50 per gun. A broadside at tn
present figures from four eighty'one

punpowder; flannel or serge cartridge
