THERE are attempts to limit the
opium traffic in California. The Grass
Valley Trustees have passed an ordi-
nance imposing a license OF $50 per
quarter upon opium sellers, drug stores
exempted. The Sacramento Bee thinks
this is wrong, and that opium dens
ought to be prohibited, not licensed.
On this subject the San Francisco State
says: "There is great danger that the
use of this deadly drug may be added
to the list of our body and soul destroy
ing vices. The intensity of life here,
its excitement, strain, and disappoint-
ment, the large proportion of our peo-
pie who are separated from home in
fluences, and the practical materialism
which is becoming the prevailing re-
hgion, render this community in
which the habit could easily be intro
duced."

(The General picked up copy OF the
Massachusetts, Manual) According to
the State census of 1875 there were 35l,-

number of votes ever polled was 25S,S00
at the Presidential election of 1876 Now
25S, 900 from $50, 900 leaves $4,000. Take
another fact. The population of Massa-
chusetts is 1861, 800. The voting strength
of Ohio, for example, where there are no
restrictions, is about one to four OF the
population. Hence this State should
have total vote of over 100000. The
actual vote, as you see, is but 5000, or
nearly 10000 short of the natural vote.
Allow $4,000 for stay-at-home voters,

10000. Massachusetts, has eleven mem

there are about 1S,600. I propose, sir, to

singular Fatal Accident on a Harges
TSaeramento fCall Rec

lSacramento (Cal.) bee.
About 5 o'clock this morning a terrible
and peculiar accident occurred on the
barge ]. G. Miller, which was being
towed to this city by the steamer Daisy.
The barge got aground at Six Mile Bar,
above the city, and an effort was made to
pull it afoat again by means of the steam
capstan on the steamer. The attempt
was unsuccessful, however, and a force
of the deck hands was put on the barge
and endeavored to draw it off the shoal
by means of the capstan on the barge.
They used eight-foot bars in so doing, and
were walking round in a circle, twelve of
them being engaged in the work.
While they we're so doing, the appa-
ratus inside of the capstan gave way, the
iron base flew to pieces, and the post and
gearing went overheard, hurling two men
ilto the water, killing one man outright,
injuring another so severely that he died
on the steamer before reaching this city,
and slightly hurting several others. The
mans name who was killed instantly is
Fred. Svensen, and the one who died be-
fore reaching the city is an. unknown
Swede. Con. Stanley, pilot of the barge,
was injured internally so severely that
there is but slight chance for his recov-
cry, and Eugene Hall was hurt on the
head. but not seriously. The capstan-
bars were hurled with great violence in
all directions, and the deck Of the barge
in the vicinity of the capstan presented
the unsightly and ghastly appearance of
the cockpit of a man-of-war after Sc
we're engagement, being covered with
blood and splinters.

Leaving the vines in a body they fastened
upon the asparagus; the vines recovered,
and the farmer rejoiced in tolerable
crop of grapes. If all this be true, and
assuming that the Saint Emilion pests
really represent their species in preferring
asparagus to vines, the grape growers
course is clear. He must be prepared to
make bargain with the phylloxera, and
keep them in good humor with plenty of
asparagus, as foxes are enticed from de-
game by regular supplies of dead
rabbits.

The pellagra, an awful and loathsome
disease, the degree of prevalence of which
statisticians attempt to measure by the
tale of the recorded suicides which the
agonies and the madness caused by it pro-
duce, is increasingly prevalent in the rich
est districts Of the North of Italy, espec-
tally Lombardy, Venetia and Romagna.
The best medical opinions concur in con-
sidering the principal and almost sole
cause of this horrible scourge, which
seems to be much akin in its nature to
leprosy, to consist in the use as an exclu-
sive diet of maize, or Indian corn.
There are districts, however, in the
Trentino, about the north of the Lago di
Gardo, where the hill population lives
almost, if not quite, exclusively on
maize, but where pellagra is unknown.
And it would seem, from inquiries di-
rected, especially to an explanation of
this phenomena, that the dreadful dis
ease in question is, in fact, produced by
hsbitual diet Of Indian corn in bad
condition. Very minute investigation,
extending over wide extents of country,
has revealed the fact that the maize con.
sumed by the poorest classes of the rural
population is, far more often than not
partially rotted from having been stored
in mass before the grain has been thor.
oughly dried. f'a'

The proposed Journey of General Grant
through the South may have very i'm
portant political results. He will, of
course, be received with the courtesy and
hospitality characteristic of the South
ern people, and his unfailing modesty
and good sense will keep him, as they al
ways do, from doing or saying ANYTHING
likely TO give offense or arouse prejudice.
General Grant, although firm and un-
yielding, is also calm and dispassionate;
and while the passionate hostility of the
whole South would not deter him from
carrying out a policy of which his judg-
ment approved, yet there would not be any
personal feeling in his action, and there
would be no accumulation of prejudice
to stand in the way of change of views.
1t is well known that toward the close of
his administration General Grant
became convinced that the force
policy was wrong; and had it not
been for the appearance of fore
stalling the incoming Administration, he
would have anticipated the action of
President Hayes in regard to the contests
in South Carolina and Louisiana. The
knowledge of this fact, and the convic-
ton that all their rights of local self
government would be firmly protected by
Gen. Grant, is causing strong set of
Southern public opinion towards his re-
election to the Presidency. The connee-
ton between Southern leaders and the
Northern Democracy has always been a
mere partnership of interests; and, as the
fact is demonstrated that the Democratic
party, is hopelessly incapable, there is a
strong disposition in the South to form
new and more profitable connection. By
supporting Grant Southern leaders would
destroy the sectional issue, take away
from bloody-shirt agitators their stock in
trade, and remove the problem of secur-
ing the negroes in their civil and political
rights from the domain of sentiment to
that of practical, non-partisan legislation.
A Grant movement in the South is GER
tainly not unlikely.
