CALIFORNIA.

Capt. Heath, of Elk, just now stop
ping in Cincinnati, has lately made a
trip to California to examine PERSONAL
~ the inducements for emigration
thither, and has, since his return, IT,
ceived many letters from friends on
the Pacific slore. He found a good eli
mate, but with the usual number of
drawbacks, and advises those who have
= home in the East or any means to en-
able them to make their bread and but
ter with certainty, to remain where
they are. The great want there IS
.oater. Untold thousands of people,
laborers, skilled artiicers and profess
sional persons, attracted by the Won
drous stories of health, wealth and
prosperity, have flocked thither, until
"Retting employment" is almost i'm
possible. The unemployed are parad-
ing the streets of San Francisco in vast
crowds, unruly, maddened and desper-
ate.
Ono Of the most unpleasant features
OF the lack of rain this last season was
tho tremendous loss of live stock, about
100, 900 head of sheep-some say $50, 900
having persisted for lack Of pastur-
age. Many hundreds of families in
the counties of Ventura, Santa Barba-
IA and Los Angeles, who considered
themselves permanently settled, have
broken up and moved to Oregon and
northern California.

The Religious telescope, published at
Dayton, Ohio, contains full account
OF the instantaneous cure of Rev. r.
D. Mccormick, of Iowa Conference, of
the United Brethren Church, who for
the last three years has been resident
of West Union, Iowa. A year ago he
was struck with paralysis while engag-
ed in revival work. He was given up
to die by the physicians, but being II
believer in the efficacy of prayer, and
that miracles" if ever wrought, could
still be wrought, lie prayed earnestly to
be healed. To the establishment of his
family and his physicians he was i'll
stantly restored, arose and walked the
room and has had no return of the
disease.
Here is nut for the infidels who do
not believe in prayer, and the intidel
church members who do not believe in
miracles in our day, to crack. They
will no doubt pooh the whole story
away as humbug.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE LAws-coMMIssIoNE
RAUM IN OPPOSITION TO REDUCTION OF
THE TAX ON wHIsKEY AND ToBAcCo-THE
CONSOLIDATION OF THE REVENUE DISTRICTS
Mr.. Raunn, Commissioner OF Internal Revenue was
before a subcommittee OF tho Ways and Means Com
mittee to.day to give his opinions as to some pro-
posed notifications OF the laws In the matter
OF tabacco manufacture. In the course OF a converse.
lion this evening the general subject OF revision
Of these revenue laws, especially as to whiskey and
tobacco, Commissioner Raum expressed his unquali-
fed opposition to any reduction Of tho
rates OF taxation now imposed upon two articles,
He gave as his belief in the first place. the gov
crnment was not prepared to give up any its rev
enue. As to wbiskey, the large dealers dis
honest Hence the tax, whatever the ratio might be,
was collected from them fully could be. As to
The old theory that lower tax meant an increased
revenue 1t not borne by expcreuce Tho
arge dealers paid the tax ana the small Illicit
iisiillcrs in the mountains and out-oi-thc.way
places were beng broken up. He had watched
tho quotations OF whiskey for a considerable
lime and he satsncd from the stcadncss OF the
market that there Illicit whiskey OF any sig
nilcanco thrown upon it. The great highwines
centres wero Cincinnati, Peoria, Chicago and st.
LOUIS, and there was better evidence OF tho
aosence OF fraud upon tho revenue than that the
quotation for whskey throughout tho country had
for qune while averaged l03 and 10l cents gallon.
Now. even after the distillers had paid ninety
tax they were ev idcnty making some money at this
Price Ihe chct TACT TO DO taken notice OF
was that the average production Of whskey Tor con-
sumption and export about 60, 600, 900 gallons
annually. Men drink about the same quantity from
year to year. and this GO 0O0, 600 was the steady av-
crngc OF many years In this country high tax or low

higher production than this amount. and all tho
government had to do to gee that n tax was COL
lcctcd for this average. To lower tho tax, therefore,
rom ninety cents TO sixty was loss OF one
tnird OF the revenue from this source
The same general principle hc would apply to tho
collection OF tax from tobacco Tnere was an
average annual production OF tobacco for consu pton
