PRESIDENT HAYES is credited with
saying that one reason why action on
the Chinese question lags so deplor-
ably is, that large proportion of
the politicians now in Office owe
their positions to corporations, and
that the corporations, of course, are
opposed to the interests of the mass
es, not only as regards the Chinese
question, but with reference to every
other reform.

FATAL SHOOTING AT CARsoN.-A
sad tragedy occurred at Carson last
Sunday, in which an excellent young
man Albert H. Adams, was killed.
r. A. Clark, a music teacher, who
was some time since driven out Of
Virginia and Gold Hill by the perse-
cutions of the hoodlum boys, went
to reside in Carson, where it appears
he Jared but little better. Saturday
night he turned upon crowd of
hoodlums and hit younger brother
of Adams with his cane. Sunday
afternoon Adams met Clark and asked
him why he had struck his brother.
Clark made threat "that if he
did not take care he would get some
of it too," and made a motion as il
to draw a pistol, but Adams was too
quick for him and covered Clark with
self-cocking pistol. Clark took his
hand from his pocket and started
down the street, Adams walking at
his left elbow and trying to explain
matters. While in this position Clark
drew pistol and shot Adams through
the heart. Adams fred twice, one
ball passing through Clark's leg. Ad-
ans fell and died in few minutes, and
Clark was taken to Jail.

In THE last California Legis-
lature an important addition to the
Codes was made, whereby deserted
wife may obtain support from her
husband without suing for divorce.
The law provides that when the hus-
band wilfully deserts his wife she
may, without applying for divorce,
bring action against him for perma-
nent support and maintenance for
herself and children, and the Court
may at its discretion require the hus-
band to pay as alimony any money
necessary for the prosecution of the
action and for support and main
tenance, and such decree may be en-
forced by an order from the Court.

FEELING TREES BY ELECTRICITY
The electric fluid in the form of light
ming often-times proves itself very
efficient wood-cutter, and it has occurred
to some ingenious gentlemen in India
that artificial electricity may be so ap-
piled and controlled as to cut down trees
a good deal faster than the clumsy axe
or that American notion, the chain saw.
The two ends of the copper wires of q
galvanic battery are connected with
platinum wire, which of course instant
ly becomes red hot, and, while in that
state, it is gently seesawed across the
trunk of the tree to be felled. When
arrangements were made for the exper-
lment, it turned out that the thickness
of the thickest platinum wire that could
be got was only that of CROCHET cotton.
It was at once seen that such a wire
would be consumed before the tree was
half severed from its trunk. However,
the attempt was made. The burning
wire performed its task very well so
long as it lasted, but, as anticipated, the
wire continually broke, and at length
there was no wire left. There can be
little doubt that with stronger battery
and thicker wire, the experiment would
have been entirely successful. AS it
was, the tree was sawn one-fifth through.
It is calculated that under proper condi-
tions tree, which at present takes two
hours to fell, will come to the ground by
this process in fifteen minutes. It is
almost needless to add that there is no
waste of wood, no sawdust.-E English
Journal.

is well dressed, and wears her hair loose
over her shoulders, her head being un-
covered. Occasionally she comes from the
woods and sings songs, but ut the slight
est attempt to approach her she is off
like startled deer, and all efforts to find
her are unavailing, though she is sup
posed to milk the cows of the settlers
and to have even taken food from their

A BATTLE OF Boa CONSTRUCTORS
On Saturday afternoon there was an ex-
citing scene in the house at the Zoolog-
ical Garden, occupied by the dozen huge
boa constructors recently imported from
South America. One of the snakes had
crept up the branch of tree that was
occupied by another. At this the one
with the pre- empted claim to this rest
ing place seemed to take serious offence.
for it suddenly, having taken two OF
three tight coils around the limb, arched
its neck, and with lightning flashes
of its tongue, shot forth its head and
buried one of its fangs in the skin OF
the other at about its middle, The bit
ten boa, instead of striking back imme-
diately, let go its hold on the limb and
dropped off, its entire length of nine
feet hanging down, partly in the all
and partly on the floor. It was held
thus by the fangs of the attacking boa
that remained caught in q loop of the
skin. This placed both snakes in po-
sition of pain. The biter's neck was
pulled out taut by the weight that il
could not shake off, and its jaws were
wrenched wide apart. It seemed that
it either lacked the instinct to release
itself of its coils on the limb or was
prevented from so doing by the strain.
The other snake, evidently suffering
from the wound and the strain on its
skin, was writhing in pain, with its tail
ON the floor and its body and neck
squirming in the air. Occasionally il
would raise its head rs if to strike the
other in the neck, but was not observed
to do SO. At last one of the attendants
opened the door, and with stick raised
up the lower snake in such a way that
it managed to wriggle off. The Other
snake then dropped to the floor. It an
peared to be suffering greatly, and there
is. fear that it is may die. The bitten
snake doeslnot seem to suffer much

Jeuny LIMBS Childhood.

There was once poor plain little girl,
dwelling in little room in Stockholm,
the capitol of Sweden. She was poor
little girl, indeed, then; she was lonely
and neglected, and would have been
very unhappy, deprived of the kindness
and care SO necessary to child, if it
had not been for peculiar gift The
little girl had fine voice, and in her
loneliness, in trouble or sorrow, she con-
soled herself by singing In fact she
sung to everything she did, at her work,
at her play, running or resting, she
always sang. The woman who had her
in care went out to work during the day,
and used to lock in the little girl, who
had nothing to enliven her solitude but
the company of cat. The little girl
played with her cat and sang. Once
she sat by the open window and stroked
her cat and sang, when lady passed by.
She hears the voice, and looked and saw
the little singer She asked the child
several questions, went away, and came
back several days later, followed by an
old music master whose name was Gre
lius. He tried the little girls musical
ear and voice and was astonished. He
took her to the manager of the Royal
Opera at Stockholm, then Count Pehu,
whose truly generous and kind heart
was concealed by rough speech and
morbid temper Crelius introduced his
little pupil to the Count, and asked him
to engage her as eleve for the opera.
"You ask foolish thing,, said the
Count gruffly, looking disdainfully down
on the poor little girl. .What shall we
do with that thingl She will never be
presentable. Move cannot take her.
Away with her r The music master
insisted almost Indignantly, "Well, .
exclaimed he at last. ssif you viii not
take her, poor as am, I will take her
myself, and have her educated for the
scene; then such another ear as she has
for music is not to be found IN the
world The Count relented. The lit
tie girl was at last admitted into the
school for eleves at the opera, and with
some difficulty simple gown Of black
bombazine was procured for her.
