A Mr.. Ingalls,, who holds some official
position in the Seminole tribe of Indians, tes.

Isadore and Simon Wannser of New
York, owners of 200 shares Of the Bank of Cal
ifornia have filed complaint in the U. s. cir
cult court OF San Francisco, against the hank,
praying that it be restrained from the selling
of stock or acting under the certificate contin-
uing its existence. The grounds fo- this &C.
ton is that from the losses sustained by Raj
ston the bank became and is insolvent, that an
assessment of 10 per cent on the stock has al.
ready been made to keep it afloat, that other
assessments must follow, and therefore to save
further loss, the institution should be wound
up.

BosroN has reduced economy in the
management Of municipal affairs to a
science. The Journal says that for every
hundred dollars expended for public i'm
provement the city gets one dollars

pockets. 1t will be seen that the city
receives some benefit from taxation, and

A LITTLE boy in St. Paul, last week,
was poisoned by eating : very small
piece Of green colored candy. The. piece
was no larger than pea, yet the child's
life was saved only by prompt and skill
full medical attendance. Very much Of
the candy for sale in our stores. especial
y the cheap fancy varieties, is colored
with poisonous substances. It is crime
to thus disguise disease and death and sell
it over the counter to the innocent little
ones whose eyes are attracted to, and ap..
petites whetted by, the bright colors
which to them is but 90 addition to the
.sweetness. Our legislature could do no
more praiseworthy act against the crime
OF adulteration than to enact Z. law fixing

cd candies. and imprisonment for the
manufacture.- - 81.
