nc upon the belfry Of st. Mary's
Church, and passing downward
threw open the main entrance
whereof the doors were locked and
bolted. A man stsuding near by
was lightly touched up by the fluid
and soon recovered from the shock,
but 1t Is not stated whether he tar
ried in those parts long enough to
reflect upon the striking invitation
he had received to enter the church
and worship there. The philoso-
pliers in the villages around Hart
ford did not need any kites to
perform successfully Ben Frank
Inns experiment OF bringing down
the lightning, for 1t came down of
its own accord, damaging several
buildings and killing several head
of cattle. During the afternoon ser
vice in the Methodist church at the
Connecticut village of Wrapping,
the lightning also made very
strong and remarkable protest
against the vanities of dress, espe-
cially in the matter of coihure. The
| young woman whose love OF a bon
net was torn into tatters and whose
back hair was neatly docked by the
lightning, was no doubt effectually
cured OF whatever pride she took IN
her headgear. The lesson of humil-
ity, however, was not learned
without u severe shock to
herself and to some twenty
other young women who sat in
pews near by. At Manchester
three barns were destroyed, while
at Haverstraw one man was killed
and one barn was fred. Lake Ma
hopac escaped with a flagstaff
splintered and gashouse set on
fire, which was extinguished before
any serious damage was done. In
Philadelphia, yet another church
full of worshipers was selected as
q target for heavens artillery, and
five Of them were pretty badly
scorched or shocked, one fatally.
This was a full days work for the
lightning, and it is now in order
for the nnlearned to inquire wheth.
er the recent eclipse of the sun had
anything to do with producing
these and similar electrical phe-
nomina-an inquiry to which
many of the learned might honest.
ly answer that they don't know
It is pretty we'll settled, however,
that certain copjunctions of the
heavenly bodies do produce some
startling effects upon the earth we
inhabit.

The members Of the Board Of
Health and number Of Supervi-
sors Of San Francisco made q tour
Of the Chinese quarter of that city
on Tuesday night. The description
given by the reporters Of the horri-
BILE dens Of flth in which human
bsInSs are packed In the buildings
and In caves under the streets and
csllars, IL nauseating In the ex-
trsms. They came across num-
ber Of lepers and found rooms with
out ventilation, In which only
about $50 cubic feet Of air could
penetrate, with eight or ten Chi
nese In q state of stupor with
opium. Here is description of an
underground place visited by the
ofilcials:
Oneida place, off Sacramento
otroet, below Stockton, was the next
point viewed; here the entire party
Olambered up and down stairs In
specting rooms six, eight or ten
feet square wherein were crowded
the Chinese inhabitants who had
fllled every foot Of available space.
Led by the officers, the visitors de-
scended into the depths Of the earth
fully forty feet, and on every hand
the Mongols had burrowed like rats,
seeming utterly regardless OF
health, air or comfort. Here, also,
NO attention was paid to either fire
or health ordinances. Kitchen
fires were built In many places but
one foot from wooden walls dry rs
tinder, and open sewers were In wait
for the feet OF the unwary at every
turn. The building ON the east
side Of Dupont street, near Sacra.
mento. was next entered, and the
party descended fully two stories
beneath the sidewalk on Dupont
street. Each story was divided up
into csll-like rooms, and the grated
floor Of one hall was the ceiling ol
the lower. Here In this lowest
dungeon were numerous small
cells, which, when the doors were
tried, were found to be locked
Hammerlng ON these without avil
and further examination disclosing
the fact Of the key being in the
door, 1t was uncermoniousIy burst
cd open, and there, shut out from
the light Of day. from any ant
everything good or pure In life, wert
found lepers in every stage Of tha
most lcathsome disease. Heart
sick, with brain reeling. those ad
venturous few who had descended
into this third story of hell, as OH
Ger Bethel called 1t, quickly re
gained the air above. Finally on'
more house, just $50 feet from
Kearney street, OH Sacramento
was visited. Here, as on Dupon
street, the whole earth had beef
like the interior Of the ComstOck
removed and catacombed, and ia it
depths the mummifisd Cslestia
had taken up his abode. Here
within . short distance of our mos
fashionable street, open cesspools
garbage, lepers and rats were al
mixed up In one indiscriminat
mass. Here the tour ended. No
enc who made 1t but was fully i'm
pressed with the vital necessity O
removing those leprous Chimes
hordes from out the limits of thi
fair city.
