Moreover, it must not be forgotten
that when he mounts his step-ladder

in increasing his nervousness and in
rendering him unfit to deal with his
difficult task.
In these circumstances he is apt to
resort to harsh and violent treatment
when it is not needed, and he ought
not to wonder if he thereby excites
the fear and resentment of which he
subsequently complains. The mere
fact that when a man is standing IN a
step-ladder with a steve-pipe in his
arms he betrays readiness to under.
value his wife's intellect, and to &C.
cuse her of sseverlasting chattering, -
speaks volumes as to his state of mind.
The divorces that follow the season of
putting up stoves are proofs, not of
the wildness of the stoves, but of the
irritability of husbands, and it may be
safely asserted that an irritable man
is unfit to deal with stoves or with any
domestic animals.

Force Of Habits.

It was a quaint and slightly singular
ly wise remark, by a modern essayist,
that no ones example is so dangerous
to us as our own. For when he have
done ccertain thing once, it is so
much easier to do it again. 1t is the
first step which counts in evil las we'll as
in good. Thetendency of human nature
to form habits, to run in grooves,is one
of the most marked characteristics.
Fortunately for us, it has it's good side
as we'll as it's bad side. If we can only
too easily form habit OF petulance, of
ill.temper, we can also, by trying, form
a habit of self-c0ntrol and cash fresh
victory over ourselves easier than the
first. A habit Of application is, it
would be safe to say, OF as much i'm
portance to almost any great man as is
his genium. Not that any amount of
application can make a dull man bill
liant but that without steady applica-
ton a brilliant man might almost as
well be dull as anything that he is like.

it fuel. It is the sign that he must

A WOman's Will.

Following the notable example of
Jeremy Bentham, All American lady
resident in London has, it is an.
nounced, by formally executed doc
ument, bequeathed her body after her
decease to the Royal College of Sur.
geons, to the intent that her remains
may be dissected in the very fullest
and most exhaustive manner of which
anatomical science is capable. The
lady has appointed the president of
the college, for the time being, the ex-
ecutor of her will, and deeming as she
does that it is the duty of members of
the human family to devote their bod
les after death to scientific examina.
ton, until the principles of physiol0g-
ical science are thoroughly established.
she has decided that surgery may do
its utmost with her corpse, and fur.
thermore directs that call possible fa-
cilities shall be given for the inspec-
ton of such body in it's various stages
of dissection by any persons DESTROYS
to inspect it, and more particularly by
persons of the female SEX This sip
gular testament goes on to prescribe
that when the lancet and scalpel have
done their utmost, the dissected body
is to be destroyed in tho most econom-
ical and expeditions manner possible,
with the proviso that some remnant of
the corpse, eff it can be preserved in
an innoxious state,' may be preserved
in the Royal College of Surgeons, as a
means of identifying the beneficent
donor of certainly very curious leg
acy.
The lady further gives utterance to
= wish that if any of her friends ode
sire to possess remnant of the said
body they shall be at liberty to do so"
Such is this odd testamentary bequest,
legally drawn up, and signed and wit.
messed by the clerks of a well-known
London solicitor. The Royal College
of Surgeons have, it is said, accepted
the trust. 1t is impossible to deny the
absence of prejudice, the single.mind-
edness, and. the public spirit which
have apparently dictated the adoption
by lady Of responsibility of so very
unusual course but it is necessary to
point out first that such an example
will not, in all probability find many
imitatOrs and next, that the hospi-
tai schools of London can already pro-
cure a sufficiency of dead bodies to
demonstrate with thoroughness the
principles of physiologal science. If
this benevolent lady were dwarf or
a giantess, or endowed with two heads,
physiology might benefit by the be-
quest of her body. AS it is, there will
be, at, we hope, a far distant period,
only one corpse the mere ON the dis
secting room table. Touching the
remnant question, that must be held
matter Of taste. We all remember
the gentleman in the ''Tatler" who
disinherited his son for having spoken
disrespectfully Of his sister, whom he,
the testator, had long kept preserved
in spirits. There are people who are
fond of the remnants of their de.
parted friends and others who enter
tain profound dislike to keeping such
mementOes near them.

Let us, then, instead of persistently

Let us, then, instead of persistently
treating the stove as though it were
the inveterate enemy of the race. try
the effect of kindness and gentleness.
Weeks before the stove is to be put
up, the pipe should be brought out and
accustomed to the presence of the fam
lily. Its joints should be allowed to lie
on the rug or under the table. and
from time to time they should be gen.
thy brought in contact, so as to accus-
tom them to their approaching duty.
When the hour for putting up the
stove arrives, the householder should
send his wife out of town, and after
engaging large Irishman with club
to remain within call in case Of any
extreme violence on the part of the
stove, he should proceed to put it up
alone. Possibly this course of treat
ment might fail of securing the. de.
sired end, but at all events it is worth
trying. The assumption that intelh.
gent man cannot live in peace with
stoves is simply disgraceful, and all
humane persons should be anxious to
prove its falsity without delay.
An Army Without a Flag.
The Figaro reminds us that the
French Army has no flags, and that on
the I'd of June, 1871, the War Minister
issued an order that the standards then
in use were to be handed over to the
artillery. In exchange, small flags
without any inscription were served
out Professionally. The artillery de-
stroyed the silk of the old standards,
and sent the eagles and the old fringe
to the Domain Office, where they will
probably remain until we have anoth-
er Empire. The provisional flags,
which have now been in use for five
years, possess great advantage as far
as economy is concerned they only
cost 25 francs apiece, while the silk
standards, with their ornaments cost
$50 francs. 1t is not, perhaps, the
question of expenditure which binders
the War Office from bringing this pro-
visional state of affairs to close, but
doubtless a difficulty about replacing
the eagle. The fleurs-de-lys are out Of
the question; SO is the Gallo cock,
which has been monopolized by the
Orleans family ; the lady in Phrygian
who symbolizes the Republic, and who
is playfully called Marianne, is only in
favor with the Radicals, and the mod
crate Republic has neither their SYM
boil nor song. Taken alone, the tri-
color belongs to the Revolution, the
Empire, and the younger branch of the
Bourbons. Perhaps it would be pru-
dent, until the Conservative Republic
is more firmly established, to leave the
top of the flagstaff in it's present nude
condition.

distressing, especially in this country,
than almost any other disease, and, at
the same time it may be asserted that
it is as little understood and as unsuc-

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1S.-Passen-
gers by the steamer Colima, which ar
rived Saturday, reported that when the
Colima left MazaIlan, August ), there
was a rumor Of an insurrectiOn in the
interior; that battle had been fought
between the government troops and in
surgents, in which 10000 men were en-
gagged; and the insurgents were defeat
ed with great loss. They are reported
to be falling back to the coast. 1t was
feared that part of their forces would
attack Mazatlan, and the city has been
placed under martial law. Many of
the stores are closed. All the forces in
that vicinity, about 1900 men, are I'M
der arms to repel an attack by the in
surgents. All communication between
and the City of Mexico had
been cut off by the Insurgents several
days before the Colima sailed.

The Southern Pacific.

On the first of next month the South
ern Pacific railroad company will have
completed the road from San Francis
co to Los Angeles. Some of the worst
difficulties in railroad construction
have been overcome in the cuts and
tunnels at the Tehachipe and San Fer
nando mountains The whole dis
lance from San Francisco to Los An
geles by rail is, in round numbers,
about AGO miles. This distance will
probably be accomplished in twenty
four hours. Passengers leaving here
on the regular o'clock afternoon train
will be set down in Los Angeles before
dark the next day. Sleeping-carS Will
also be run over the road. The com
petition by rail and sea will probably
be kept up. 1t will take two days by
sea, against one by lani.
The Southern Pacific railroad has
been extended to Los Angeles without
any flourish of trumpets. Indeed. so
quietly has the work been prosecuted
that many have not been aware of the
great amount of work which has been
done Here is a line of railroad long
er than the New York and Erie, which
for a part of the way has encountered
greater physical obstacles than were
met on either of the New York roads /;
and yet half the people of California
have hardly known anything about the
work. They have read, perhaps, a
short paragraph in the papers, and
have half forgotten that
While this was being done the trunk
line was extending out into the Colo
RADIO Desert, in straight line for the
Colorado river. But the railroad to
Los Angeles is now the more tangible
fact, because until the trunk line is
carried to the Colorado river, very little
business can be done beyond San
Bernardino county. When the
Southern Pacific railroad reaches
Arizona, and those southern mines
are only two days distant from
San Francisco, mining interests
in that Territory will assume promi-

ing: THE American Mining Board
will be organized tomorrow afternoon
at two O'Clock at room IS. Drexel
Building. About 100 representative
business men have already qualified as
members Of the institution, which will
be Mining Stock Exchange. William
Ward, the temporary chairman, says
that lack of market for mining stocks
in this city has prevented many persons
from investing in these securities, but
there is an increasing interest here in
Pacific mining stocks, which can be
readily developed by the means pro-
posed. At present the San Francisco
market furnishes a standard of rates.
but it's believed that New York will
eventually determine the prices of these
stocks for San Francisco. While il
is estimated by persons familiar with
the subject that there are only $4,000
600 of capital on the Pacific Coast
for the business of the stock
market, there are hundreds of millions
here which can be used for that pur
pose irrespective Of any flow of capt.
tai from Europe. The initiation is

generally in use now. l also built the
first Stadefelt in Sonora, and expert
mented with it most thoroughly on a
great variety of rebellious ores. For
the bleaching process, the Stedefeldt
could not be made to answer, but my
experience with 1t inclines me to think
that for amalgamating purposes when
the ores were crushed fine, it will an
swer a very good purpose.
The difficulty of applying mechani-
cal furnaces to the roasting of rebel
liOus ores is that they require different
degrees of heat at different stages of
the operation, especially antimonial
and zinc blend ores, a condition
which none of the mechanical furnac-
es that have known(except it be the
Bruckner W furnishes. In the Bruck-
ner the heat is entirely under the con-
troll of the operator, the same as the
Z" Reverberatory.' While the stirring
is done merchandising, and there is no
dust raised, and the ore can remain I'M
der the operation one hour or ten, as
the nature of the ore may require. /
question very much the statement of
your correspondent, that there are
plenty here that understand this pro
cess well enough to apply it success
fully to the California or Nevada
mines.
There are, doubtless, many who
could attend to the teaching and precip-
itatiOn of the silver, but those who
are competent TO construct all the APP
planes necessary to its successful
operation, and at the same time are
thoroughly familiar with the roasting
of the different kinds of ore, so neces-
sary in this process, are exceedingly
rare, even in Sonora.
In conclusion, let me say that i'll
seems strange that a process so simple,
and one that is proving so effective in
the treatment of rebelliOus ore has not
been tried in some parts of this State
or Nevada. If 1t was covered by some
patent, developed In some great mys-
terry, as has been some new processes
of late, thousands would have been
waiting and anxious to adopt it But
as it is simple in its operation, having
stood the test of years of use at our
very door, Endorsed by Intelligent, re-
liable men, all are afraid of it.

Much has been said of the North
Star road from Silver City to the Rio
Grande Valley, and we have tried to be
impartial on the subject, for many Of
our readers are impartially interested
to know just what advantages or dis
advantages it possesses. We are in
receipt of a late letter from the Rio
Grande Valley which says in substance;
The North Star road is reported a
humbug by freighters, who say it is
longer and more difficult to travel than
the old road. The letter further says
that the Jerkey stages running between
Silver City and Mesilla, are 2-seated,
covered and comfortable, and that close
connection is made at Mesilla with
coaches for Santa Fe.

The command of Col. Bernard num-
beers less than fifty men, and this is all
the protection that the people on the
long border line-twO hundred miles

vet it seems to he proposed to with
draw all protection and leave our set
tiers to the certain ruin that must fol

troops is taken away the people dwell
ing in the Campo section will be fore
ed to abandon their homes. A real
danger confrOnts d numerous body of
American citizens on the border line
of this county, and the removal of the
troops will be a serious calamity. We

out any delay to secure the continual
ton Of the protection of the military

a Catholic Authority on the Pub
lie School Question.

CINCINNATI, August 10.-The Catho-
lie Telegraph this morning contains an
article from Archbishop Purcell, detin-
ing the attitude of the Catholic church
towards the public school system of
the United States. 1t declares that the
church has no disposition to interfere
with the system, and says: No doubt
justice and equality would entitle the
Catholic people of this country to ex-
emption from taxation for the support
of other schools, or TO a share of the
public school funds in proportion to
the number of pupils in the schools,
but even this claim we are disposed to
waive in your favor.
