Sickness AT THE ORPHANS HoME.-Dur-
ing the past ten days there have been thirteen
c.ses of fever among the children at the Or
phans Home, and at the present time there
are nine down with it, An APPEAL reporter
called on DR. j. w. Fox, the Home physician,
10 learn to what he attributed this unusual
amount of sickness. He ascribes it to the water
ditch which was dug in the neighbornood of
the Home five weeks ago. He says that prior
TO the digging of the ditch the soil was largely
composed of decomposing vegetable matter,
which has been exposed to the hot rays of the
sun for weeks and naturally gave rise TO an
exhalation of poisonous miasm, resulting In
the fever cases. This hypothesis is confirmed
by the fact that Carson is wholly exempt
from any fever diseases. Thus far none but
bows have been attacked, because the ditch
does not extend to the point where the girls
have their play ground. Judging from this
some one is guilty of gross neglect, and the
evil should be RENE liel without the slightest
delay.
SET FREE-Fred Parker, the man arrest
ed for going through another's pocket on
Thursday night, was set free yesterday. lie
acknowledged having committed the robbery.
but pleaded drink in cxtenuation. 1t Is
stated that he was set free because the District
Attorney could not be found to prosecute
him. This looks as if Justice was being
trifled with little too much. The prisoner
confesses the robbery, and because he says
that he was drunk when he committed the
crime, he is given his liberty. Drunkenness
is no excuse for the commission of crime
and he should have been compelled to stand
trial the same as any other criminal.
TAXING AN INTEREST. better class of
Chinese in this city seem to be taking great
interest in the coming visit of General Grant
prominent merchant of that race, stated
Yesterday that it is the intention OF his
countrymen to decorate their houses on the
occasion of the Generals visit. They fully
appreciate the greatness of the man, and
there is no race in the world who are greater
man worshippers than the Chinese. The |
merchant referred to is thoroughly informed |
upon the subject of General Grants great |
deeds in the army and his civil administration
Of this government.
SADIE MoNKs-The San Francisco woman
who figures in the Fraser divorce suit, is
Sadie Monks and not Marks, as At inst re
ported She is = remarkably handsome woman
belonging to wealthy family, ami sure
enough widow. Seven years ago she was one
society.
LATEST FROM SIERRA NEvADA.-The latest
authentic news from Sierra Nevada is that
the $500 drift is now about eight feet farther
into the ore vein than it was on visiting day.
On the west side-the farthest in--the ore is
much harder, and not so rich as the soft stuff,
but still it is claimed to be Of high grade
which may mean $50 or $50. II

Stocks In the open board yesterday
morning the north enders showed bold front,
Sierra Nevada touching $40 This somewhat
encouraged the demoralized army Of holders,
and numerous wagers were made that the
stock would reach $50 in the regular board.
But at the first call the bulls became weak
kneed, and when the call closed at 500 90,
the decentralization was complete. The anxious
dea ers were in and about the telegraph Office
an hour before "report" time, but the unac-
countable crash in their pet speculatons, dis
persed then at an unusually early hour. No
probation in the value OF mine which has so
good prospect OF course every one has his
own theory to suit his own peculiar ideas, but
the bottom fact of the matter is an inselubls
mystery.
He WANTS HIS WIFE. Deputy Sheriff
Powers informed an APPEAL reporter that
San Francisco butcher came to this city yes,
terday in quest of his wife, to whom he had
only been married ten months, and who ran
away with gambler about six weeks or so ago.
He casually learned that she was in this city,
going by the name of Lottie Howard The
husband found his wife in a house of i'll fame,
but she declined to return to a virtuOus home
with him. Visiting the Sherif's Office ne had
an interview with Deputy Sheriff Powers to
ascertain whether there was no provision in
the law compelling her to 60 with him; and
upon learning that there was not, the un-
happy man seemed very muca depressed. |
We should suggest TO the anxious husband to

Many of our states seem to be more ol less disturbed and alarmed by te'oalt audacity, except m that realm ot Teaso, and justlce lIlnaturedlv called Secession. There woman's r1RhIs were well under srood and enforced by its chlvalry two centuries ago.
 If thenatural age of man were extended to thousand years. unattended by sick ness and numerous other af1:ctions whlcL beset us here. ambition would soon reign supreme. and the world would be turned into one vast war-feld. Let universal rec tifude prevail. and it will not be unreason- able U expect that He who has the des- times Of all things in His hands, will per mt many of the correctives which we cal. afaictlous to pass away. Then doubtless the period of human life would be satelJ prolonged.

Cannan,s Morals.

The relation of Church and State has giv en rise in some countries to many vexed problems yet to be solved.
 There is neither problem nor ohscurlty about this fact. however, that the Church ls designed to supplement the work of the State. Each has its own sphere of useful ntss and neither can or should usurp the prerogatives of the other.
 The civil law is intended 10 prevent any fragrant breach of moAls, ln short e1af0rceS and conpsIs certain degree of morality. Where the State leav, off the Church be- gins, and eievates the man from compul sery morality to voluntary principle. Civil law does not seek 10 teach moral principle. It simply says "Obey, or abide the conse- quences." The Church, however, teaches obedience because s'It is right"
 There are therefore two means to be used for the elevation of men in a degraded con- dition. lst. Civil authority 10 compel them 10 observe such moral precep,s as are essen- . tial to the existence of society. 2nd. Re ligious influences to instruct them as 10 what is right and wrong and to teach moral and relisious principle.
 The man who does not scruple to violate a law of the Statute Book, will scarcely hesitate 10 break over the more refined re. quirements of the Gospel.
 There is an opportunity of both applying and testing the truth of these observations close at hand.
 Ha is ignorant indeed of the condition oi things about him, who is not aware that We have in our neighborhood class of people both ignorant and degraded. It is matter 6f common notoriely that in our vicinity some of these people are in the habit of >i- olaling the very fundamental laws of socie- ty. which are the very first principles of the civil code. The consequence IS that pop ulation has grown up around us ignorant. unthrifty. ard almost utterly immoral in some cases. And worse still, the evil is ID creasirg and will continue to grow unless checked noU.
 Who Can calculate what resnlts may fol- low :n the course of few years when even now the condition of things is SO deplnr- able. lst. There will be an enormons pau. per population for this county and town to support. Fad. The streets-nsy the very schools where your children are in the hat It ot going ana coming ana learning. will be full of children who can call no man fatber and whose mothers are neither wifi. nor widow. 3rd. The ho~fid evils now hidden and seen at distance will creep in to your villages. Indeed if we may believe the whispered rumors of tO-day, dsis Uislage is not entirely fr. e from the condemnation to which refer. 4th. The moral sense of the community will be blunted by becon- ing accustomed to look upon such things and to hear of them carelessly.
 Are you willing it should be so2 appeal to every parent, yes every ci,iz n. Is there not . power in public sentiment which needs to be exrrcised here Then that public sen- timent will bring civil law and civil author fly to bear upon the evil.
 Ano when the State has grappled with the yioiaiors of lis laws and compelled morality ahe Church will not fail lo do her part in tpaching principle, Vox EocLxsIG.
