SAN FRANCISCO is attempting the re
formation of her hoodlums. A " Youths
Free Directory" has been established in
which every encouragement isgiven those
anxious to turn over a new leaf. A few
days ago requisitiOn was made on the
directory from parties in San Josquin
county for five hundred boys between
fifteen and twenty years of age to pick
hops, at wages ranging from fifteen to
twenty dollars per month, with board
and lodging. This work was formerly
done by Cinnamon. In March thirty
three applications were received, and
thirty-One furnished with work; in April
ninety-one were received, and eighty-two
given employment; and in May there
were one hundred and ninety applicants,
of which number one hundred and twen-
ty were put in business. Since then
nearly two thousand boys have applied
for employment, and the majority have
obtained it in the neighboring grain
districts.

sort of soft stone about twelve inches
thick, and after they had drilled through
it an explosion occurred like the report
of cannon. throwing the tools fully
thirty feet in the air. 1t then began
throwing out stones, sand, etc. Some
Large stones were thrown out, some of
which weighed twelve pounds. II then
began to spout forth white sand and
smoke, which lasted for about nine hours.

In Spain the heat has been so great
this summer that the thermometer rose
to l66 degrees in the sun at Cadiz.
Tallow candles melted and became useless
at night, hundreds of people dropped
dead in the strcetS and field laborers
refused to work in the scorching sun.
Owing to the recent disbandment of 2OO,-
900 soldiers, the labor market was so
'glHtted-that many worBmen could only
obtain about fifteen cents daily for
twelve hours work.

rETTJNG At THE TREASURY

There are some excellent things IN the
Woodin bill relating to the City Government
Of New-York. rs amended in the House. IL
would DO a pity to lose them, and yet 1t would
be better to have The bill defeated than to let
It become a law without the removal of two
or three Objectionable provisions which have IN
some way or another been still able to hold their
places in 1t. There is yet time to take these
out, and if the bill is sincerely pressed for the
sake of the good that is left in 1T, and not for
the sake of the jobs which have been mostly
removed, there should be no difficulty In re-
moving tho rest.
PERHAPS the most Objectionable feature is to
be found in the 10Th section. The apparent
object of this section is excellent, but the
first sentence in it may be construed
TO Iegalize old contracts for city improve
ments, and to compel assessments for the
work done under them. Now the city
is engaged in fighting many OF these
contracts; they have been vitiated
by fraud, and the levying of assessments to
nav for the work done under them would re-
suit in gross injustice to the city. To require
such assessment is to enforce robbery.
The last sentence of the Goth section CON
ouires that the whole cost of work for
which assessments are authorized shall
hereafter be assessed upon the property
benefited by the improvement, but pro-
yides that no assessment shall ex-
ceed one-half of the last assessed valuation
of the property. Now it happens that there
are many millions of property belonging
TO religions, charitable and other institu-
tons, which have no assessed valuation.
They are exempt from taxation, but
have never been exempt from assess
ments for improvements which benefited
them. The effect of this clause would be
TO exempt them. The people of New-Iork
have no such purpose, and they will look with
suspicion upon the skill which insinuates 81
dangerous privilege in so innocent guise.
The 9th section attempts the excellent
work of stopping all claims against the city
for Indebtedness incurred when there was no
appropriation 10 meet it. 1t contents
itself however, with simply asking af-
