Proposed Anti.thiuese Convention.
A correspondent of the SENTINEL, after
enumerating the disadvantages %encount-
cred by white men in competing with
Chinese labor, and the im%probability of
obtaining relief through the National Gov
eminent, makes the following sensible
suggestion
Failing to obtain any relief or hope in
the future, through national or State gov
ernments, it seems at least proper to sug-
gest a convention of the representatives Of
the Pacific Coast anti-Chinese societies,
and the month Of June, and Sacramento,
California, as the proper time and place for
such convention. The people of the coast
are respectfully asked to respond with their
views.

Spanish Dwellings.
All the Year Round.

The massive-stOne basem ents of many
Of the houses date back 500 years, and
are still grimly solid, though somewhat
sunken by their weight of centuries.
The upper portions have in most in
stances been patched and repatched;
yet still, by the side Of what is there
considered modern improvement
probably easement and balcony $50
years old-may be seen narrow, point
ed, granite, carved apertures, pierced
in wall from two to three feet in thick
ness. These are unglazed, and are
closed by shutter, which in turn has
a small grated opening. The varied ia
cades Of these decrepit buildings are
wonderfully rich in quaint detail, with
their rusty iron and eaten wooden
balconies, oddly perched here and there.
From these usually float in the sun-glare
multi-colored garments and rainbow
hued draperies, protected from a pass
ing shower by the deeply-projecting
roofs Of mOss-grOwn, futed thing. The
streets which are narrow and roughly
paved with shapeless boulders, are mo-
nopolized by the pigs. Indeed, SO AFRO
CANT are the brutes that the question as
to who is to take the wall or the gutter
is only settled by a stout stick. 1t may
be guessed what is the ordinary condi-
ton of the streets when such scaven-
gers make them their favorite foraging
ground. There is usually but one COM
mon entrance to each house for cattle
and humanity, and this is through a
deeply-set stone archway which leads
directly to the stable, and consequently
one is continually stepping over foul
litter. If the proprietor be trades
man, there is an opening to the tienda
or shop. either to tue left or right, be-
meath this gloomy, stench-infected
porch; and or the opposite side is the
dark staircase which leads to the upper
portion of the struggling building, where
perhaps many families have their
dwelling. Now, as in most instances,
each family keeps its pigs, and yoke of
oxen to till patch of land in the neigh
borhood Of the town, it may be mag
med what is the condition Of the COM
mon stable at night, and what savory
odors pervade the ever-open staircase
and corridors. Indeed, it has often
happened to me, when paying visit to
stumble over SOW and her young on a
dark landing; or, wLile cropping my way
up the time-worn, uncertain stairs, to
place my hand in the midst Of a group
of roosting fowls; and yet possibly the
person to whom my visit was to be paid
boasted Of blue blood, was as proud as
the proudest of hidalgos, and bore a
shield with quarterings that dated from
the heroic period Of San Ferdinand or
the Cid Campeador. With regard to
the furniture of suite of rooms occu-
pied by such a person of quality, the
less said the better. One seldom meets
with any attempt at luxury, and most
frequently even comfort is ignored.

Mr.. Bell was then sworn in. The

an executive session the senate ad-
journed, an attempt to adjourn over
Good Friday having failed.
THURSDAY, April -House-Consid-
Grafton of the legislative appropri-
alton bill was resumed Mr.. Nc
Mahon offered an amendment
repeating the sections providing Tor BIZ
ennial examinations of pensioners, and
concluding, viz: In order to provide for
the payment of arrears Of pensions, the
secretary is directed to issue immedi-
ately in payment thereof, as they may
be adjusted, the S1O,OOO,OOO of legal
tender currency now in the treasury,
kept as special fund for the redemp-
ton of fractional currency. Mr.. Gar
field raised a point of order,
which led to a discussion. The
chairman finally ruled that the
amendment was germane to the bill IN
the direction Of economy, and there
fore it was In order; it was then further
am ended by Mr.. Canon that fractional
currency may be redeemed in any class
Of money in the treasury, and as thus
amended, was agreed to. Other amend
ments were adopted when. without ac-
ton. the committee rose and the house
adjourned.

Effect of Cold on Milk.

The effects of a low temperature on
milk have been carefully examined by
NJ. Eng. Tisserand, who recently COM
municated his observations to the AGA
demic DIES Sciences. He found that if
cows milk is Immediately or soon after
being drawn, placed in vessels at vari-
Gus temperatures between freezing
point and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and
the initial temperature is maintained
for twenty-four or thirty-six hours, it
will be found that the nearer the tenn
perature of the milk is to freezing point
the more rapid is the collection of
cream, the more considerable is the
quantity of cream, the amount Of but
ter is greater. and the skinned milk,
the butter, and the cheese are of a bet
ter quality. These facts he believes,
may be explained by Pasteur's observa-
ton and on ferments, and their effects
on the media in which they live. 1t is
probable that the refrigeration arrests
the evolution of the living organisms
which set up fermentation and hinder
the changes which are due to their
growth. The facts stated indicate room
for great Improvement IN the methods
of storage and preservation of milk.
To keep milk at its original quality, ex-
IRENE cleanliness and low tempera-
ture are absolutely necessary. In the
north of Europe, Denmark, etc. the
value of cold is already reconized. and
in warmer climates the need for its as
sistance is greater. There is nothing
impracticable in the suggestion, since
running streams can be used to aid re-
frigeration. Where the quality of the
milk is of great importance, ice may be
employed.

CAPT. GELMAN, of the Russian army,
has arrived at Tifis from Khiva. where
he has been engaged with a party of
engineers examining the overflow OF
the Oxus. A special commission, OF
which the Grand Duke Michael is a
member, has been sitting at Tiflis some
weeks discussing the possibility of di-
recting the Oxus to the Caspian at
Kranshovodsk. Capt. Gelman will
give evidence before the commission,
and then will return to the Kara Kun
dessert, to watch the effects Of the
spring floods upon the inundation. The
belief is expressed that these will drive
the water from its present resting place
at Sari kameesh to within short dis
lance of the Caspian.
