DANGER FROM CATs.-Stories of danger to
infants from cats attempting to suck their
breath have beenf frequently narrated, but SIM
liar attempts of the animal in regard to grown
persons are not so common. An instance &C.
CURED in this city, says the Utica IN. " o.
ssroer, which would at least warn people to
keep cats out of your sleeping apartments
A young gentleman was awakened by slight
pain to find the huge cat Of the family with
his paws about his neck and endeavoring to
get his mouth open. The cat was working Oh
Lis chin, and had partly succeeded in opening
bis mouth when the movement awakened him.
He tried to push the cat off, but could not
get it away until he seized it violently about
the neck, choking the animal until it releas-
ed its hold and then throwing 1t off. The cat
has been excluded from the sleeping apart
ments of that family since the young gentle
mans uncomfortable experience.

To COUNT 4 BILLIoN.--1 have seen Of late,
says writer, several articles upon the time
it would take to count billion One, in sat
ing that billion is only thousand millions,
not a million millions, considers the task one
that can be easily accomplished in lifetime
But | conceive no two generations of mon, or
rather man during his lifetime, to be follow
ed up by his son after the decease of his
father taking up tho number and continuing
on, that could possibly accomplish the task
This, to me, is the point which renders it i'm
possible, viz. To count a billion means to
count from one consectively up to a million,
not to count series of hundreds or thou
sand. The first thousand consumes but few
minutes, but from thousand on to ten thou
sand takes relatively much longer, and SO on
in constantly repeating each amount as it
slowly progresses up the scale, it gradually
becomes task beyond the physical endur-
ance of any two or three persons in life
time. Think of tie slow process when one
has reaoh,d "seven hundred and seventy
seven thoasand seven hundred and seventy
seven," and goes on repeating these words
over and over as he advances one number at a
time It Is easily seen, when this feature is
considered, that Che task is really physically
impossible. To count from one to ten hun
dred million times is child's play to Counting
from one to billion.

YANKEE DooDLE.-sAfter the ministers

United States had nearly concluded their
pacific labors at Client, the bnrghers of that
quaint old Dutch city determined to give an
entertainment in their honor, and desired to

gramme. So the musical directors were di-
rected to call upon the American ministers
and obtain the music of the national air Of
the United States.
A consultation ensred, at which Bayart.

THE EDuclr1oS or THE RI ksiDEsrs

The Syracuse Uniesrsity Hordld has made
up the following table Of Presidents and their
places Of education, which Is Of interest
Washington-Good English education, but
never studied the ancient languages.
i Adams Harvard.
ierson-Willlam and Mary.
Madison Princeton.
Monroe William and Mary.
Adams, j. Q.--Harvard.
Jackscn--limited education.
Van Buren--Academic education
Harrison-Hampden Sidney College.
Tyler-William and Mary.
Polk University Of North Carolina.
Taylor-Slightest rudiments.
Fillmore-Not literally educated.
Pierce-Bowdion.
uchanan-Dickinson.
Lincoln dubation very limited
Johnson SER educated.
Grant-West Point.
Monroe and Harrison did not graduate
Monroe left college to join tho revolutionary
army. Financial reverses deprived Harrison
of a full course. Polk was the oldest when
graduating, being twenty three Tyler, the
youngest, seventeen. The majority gradual
ed at twenty, this being the average age,
Jefferson probably had the most liberal edu-
cation and broadcast culture. 1t is said that
his range of knowledge would compare favor
ably with that of Burke. The drill at West
Point may be considered equal to 4 college
course, and in many respects superior. In
discipline and mathematical training, it is not
equaled by any American college. Counting
General Grant, two thirds of our Presidents
have been college men. To be sure, the two
whose names have become household words,
Washington, the Father, and Lincoln, the
Martyr, were not literally educated but
theirs were special missions. They live in
the affections of the nation rather than in the
intellect, as embodied in tie Constitution and
laws. Theirs was TO execute, not mould.

The Schools.

The Board of Education do not place
great deal of faith in the practicable
ity of the HERALD'S suggestion as to
means for continuing the public
schools. A prominent member of the
Board informs us that the dismissal of
the higher grade classes will not ena-
BILE them to meet the expenses of the
other schools, and that on the means
received from ordinary sources it will
be impossible to pay the teachers SAL
aries. If the schools could be contin-
ued "on creditp until December, the
money then secured would fall short
of meeting the liabilities some $4,000.
This is not satisfactory showing and
the Board confesses itself unable to
smooth away the difficulties that be-
set its pathway. We understand the
new Board owes its financial embar-
rassment in great measure to the fact
that it inherited from the old Board
an Indebtedness of some $4,000. The
condition of our school affairs is any,
thing but satisfactory, and whether or
not justified in so doing, the people
are inclined to hold the unmethodical
plan of doing business pursued by the
old Board responsible for the Difficult
ties of the present.

An Eastern Ally.

We are glad to perceive that the
New York Herald appreciates our sit
uation on the Chinese question. 1t is
a matter for congratulatlon that there
is one journal at least, and that the
most influential in America ,appreci.
ates the situation on this coast. AL
luding to SARGENT's speech this jour
nal remarks that he "showed the real
grounds of objection to unrestrained
Chinese immigration, and the necessi-
ty of an amendment of the BUBLIN-
GAME treaty. There is no doubt that
the influx of Chinese into this country
is morally pernicious as well as preju-
dicial to the business interests of our
own people, and the question is one
which must be met and settled in the
interests of humanity and civiliza-
tion." We welcome this as one case
of honest conviction-and trust the in
fiuence of this eminent ally will add
strength to our cause at the East.

we believe, received the universal enA
dorsement of the Democrats of the

but that he will be the almost unani-
nous choice of our Congressional
Convention. Mr.. WIGGINTON has
proven himself worthy of the trust re-
posed in him by the people of this

Der of measures which ii carried out
will prove of great benefit to Southern
California. He fully understands the

the work in Wilmington Harbor. He
is moving for light house at Santa
Monica and he will secure an appro-
priation for breakwater at San Luis
Obispo. He has made himself familiar
with the wants of our vineyardists,
and he will not rest until he has re.
moved the greater portion of the tax
now imposed on grape brandy. The
Representative who makes himself
familiar with the wants and wishes of
his constituents and labors to supply
one and crafty the other cannot but
be popular ana useful. Such Repre-
sentative Mr.. WIGGINToN has proven
hims elf to be. So far his record is
without spot or blemish and his re-
election is a subject of vital import
ance to the people of Southern Cali

Democratic Candidates.

The San Francisco Bulletin remarks
in late issue that the Democratic
party has never before been so reticent
as to its candidates in National con-
test as at present. Up to date it is true
that eight State Conventions have
been held, hut the fact that there has
as yet been no definite plan or choice
adopted in common arises from the
fact that the party does not propose to
act hastily either in the adoption of
platforms or the suggestions of candi-
dates. Indiana, it is true, favors her
favorite representative, HENDRICKS,
and New York would be glad to see
TILDEN elected, whom she has en-
dorsed. Nebraska does endorse him
as the choice of that portion of the
West. Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Or
egon desire nomination that will
best and most favorably represent the
sentiments of the party and more
faithfully rectify the abuses that have
of late crept into our governmental af-
fairs. The time has arrived in our po-
litical career when by force of untow-
ard conduct of the party in power, it
becomes all men desiring the welfare
of the nation to be cautious in their
selection of representative in every
position. The Democratic party ap-
preciates this situation, and in view
of the present surroundings, and ami
mated by desire for reform proposes
to be discreet in all of its movements
in the coming campaign. The devel-
opments of the last year or two have
been calculated to prompt lack of
confidence everywhere, and all parties
are at this moment in a quandary to
ascertain the extent as to what course
to pursue to correct the evils that are
now disgacing us as a people. In view
of the stupendous anomalies that have
arisen by the multitude under the Re-
publican rule,a stonlshing evidences
of an existing depravity in political
circles, it well becomes the Democra-
cy to be both conservative and eau
tious in their actions now. In fact,
to them the country looks for cor
rection of evils that have disgraced
the nation not only in the eyes of our
own people, but in the opinion of other
nations, and we are glad that the
course the party has pursued has called
forth the comments of our cotempora-
ry. The old saying that "The greater
the haste the less speed" applies to us
now. We have an opportunity that
brings with it grave duty, and the
fact that the Bulletin comments as it
does is one of the best evidences that
our brethren at the East appreciate
the cituation. We hope that this
spirit will govern the actions of the
party here aud everywhere else, in
the confidence that such a conserva-
tive sentiment and cautious action
will work out success to the party
and correction of the evils, and re-
moval of the curse that has been
placed upon us by Republican NAL
feasance.
