ALTA Californian


Kearneyism has passed the zenith of its
power and has declined nearly to extinc.
tion. Last year it had no majorities in a
dozen counties, including some of the
largest. 1t claimed absolute maiorities
in San Francisco, Alameda, Sacramento,
Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Soiano and
Santa Cruz. Republicans and Democrats
considered it necessary to unite against it
In selecting delegates to the Constitu-
tiona Convention. Though in minor
ity, it controlled that body, and secured
the adoption of the New Constitution at
the polls But with success came dissen-
sion. The farmers did not like Kearney;
the political leaders in the interior would
not submit to his dictation, and they
bolted in a new party for the campaign.
The workingmen acknowledged their
weakness in some counties by making no
nominations, and in Others by fusing ON
the local offices.
Notwithstanding their fusions they
were beaten nearly everywhere. They
may have six fusion Assemblymen out Of
sixty outside of this city; and, as they
have only a half-interest in these, their
share is three, Or one in twenty. This is
not a sufficient basis for the maintenance
OF State party, and consequently Kear-
neyisln may for the future be regarded as
an institution restricted to San Fran
cisco, and not likely to last here long
without support from other places. If
its leaders were men Of superior ability,
political knowledge or regard for the in
terests of the people; if the party had any
principles necessary to the welfare Of the
community; if it had National organi-
zatlon, defeat in California, no matter
how complete, might have little signif-
canoe; but these "ifs'' call our attention
to fundamental and irremediable weak
ness which must lead to the complete
dissolution of the party sooner or LATER
Its disappearance will leave no regrets
among intelligent men. 1t has already,
by injuring business, done much harm to
the poor men, as class; and the longer
it lasts, and the. more powerful it be-
comes, the more damage it will do.

selves of it, and even with those who do
the amount expended is not large. The
Governor OF Sandhurst eonfesses that he
would willingly prohibit smoking and
billiards in the college, but he knows
what the consequences would be-. The
public houses and public billiard-tables
would either be crowded with cadets or
he would have to resort to the former
plan OF setting sergeants to watch and
report them. He contends that Sand
hurst is no longer a school for boys, in
which they are to be trained and coerced
and watched like children, but an insti-
tuition to which young men about to en-
ter the army, whose general education is
finished, and whose habits and character
are already formed, resort for one short
year to be instructed in certain military
subjects before joining their regiments.
The object is to teach them these subjects,
not to worry and torment them with
spartan rules of discipline, so long as their
conduct is correct and gentlemanlike.

detroit Evening News. !

lhOhoit ENchliIS News
Prof. f. Z. Harrington, the submarine
diver and old-time side holt wrestler"
arose from a bed of sickness Yesterday
ami took his new water velocipede to the
river bank short distance above Fort
Wayne, for the purpose of giving pri-
vate exhibition. Several gentlemen were
present by invitation, among them being
News reporter and the members of a
stock company which has been formed to
buy the patent for the purpose of giving
exhibitions in the principal cities of the
United States. Articles of agreement
and purchase were signed several days
ago, with the understanding that they
should be void unless the machine gave
perfect satisfaction.
Professor Harrington arrived about 3
o'clock, and took his apparatus out of the
wagon and placed it in the water, where
it hoated with a buoyancy of two hun
dred and eighty pounds. Stepping
aboard as carelessly as if it were a raft,
the old man took his seat and propelled
the queer machine around the wharf
several times. The members of the
stock company discussed the matter
among themselves and finally came to
the conclusion that it was success.
VIM. A. Butler happened to drive past
IN his laudaulet and witnessed the exhi-
bition, which appeared to him saisfac-
tory. There is money in that machine"
said he to a member of the company;
and probably there will be, after certain
changes have been made which suggested
themselves yesterday afternoon. The
machine consists of a light
frame work for the seat
supported in front by hollow drive
wheel with buckets" and in the rear bv
couple of hollow wooden fish, which
answer to the rear wheels of tricvcle,
and also serve as rudders, being operated
by an iron lever. The drive wheel sinks
about one-third of its circumference into
the water and makes great sputtering
and scattering as it churns up the aque-
ous particles. The motive power is sup
piled by couple of handles on small
cone pulley wheel above the main drive
wheel. Prof. Harrington claims that
when he is in good health he can make
three or four miles an hour, and keep
right side up in heavy sea. He is now
engaged in devising Il bicycle with one
fish instead Of two behind the drive
wheel.

AStOry of Success,

The New York World tells story of
the success of two boys which commends
itself to the attention of all honest am
bilious youth: Thirteen years ago--or to
be precise on the 11th day of July, 1866
ALFRED and Bruno Dodge, boys of sew
enteen and nineteen, landed at Castle
Garden as emigrants from the City of
Leipsic Their worldly means were
less than 81, but they Immediately sought
and found work, one at his trade as
piano-maker at 81 a week, and the other
as an engraver. For three years Alfred
Dodge, the younger of the two, worked
steadily with Messrs. Steinway as Jour-
neyman, and then he determined to 90
into business on his own account as a
dealer in piano materials. He had little
capital aud was not twenty-one years old.
But he had pluck and industry. Under
standing the business he concluded to
manufacture piano felting instead of i'm
porting, and he opened small work.
shop in Brooklyn, associating his elder
brother with him. Success followed,
and he has seen his lettings take the
first prize at the Worlds Fair in Vienna,
Paris, and Philadelphia. They now
make speciality of sounding boards and
supply the European demand. They are
enthusiastic and wealthy, and got their
money when times were the hardest.

English I'm Migrants to Texas.
New York Tribune.1

Among the steerage passengers on the
steamer Helvetia, of the National Line,
which arrived yesterday, were eighty
five men, women and children, who are
going to settle in the farming districts of
Texas. They came from Durham, near
Ferry Hill, England, and were compelled
to leave on account of the depressed con-
dition of agriculture there. A scheme
has been entered into by the National
Steamship Company with the principal
railroads i'll Texas to bring families from
England to this country and then to see
them safely landed in Texas. The Gal
weston, Harrisburg & San Antonio Rail
road and the Houston & Texas Central
Railroad have secured large amounts of
land in Texas. About three thousand
farmers with their families have already
immigrated there, For the last two and
a half years immigrants have been arriv-
ing in groups OF ten and upwards; the
largest number was one hundred and ten,
who arrived about year ago. They are
allowed to select thei, own land and buy
it on easy terms.
The present group comprises some very
intelligent Engishmen, and they are all
possessed OF some capital. They will be
kept on board the Helvetia until We'd
nesday, when they will be transferred to
the steamer State of Texas. These pre-
cautions are taken to protect them from
landsharks and Spectators. Burdge P.
Mclean, the General Passenger Agent of
the Steamship Company, has charge of
the farmers, and has given strict orders
in regard to those allowed to converse
with them. All the men speak very en-
Of their prospects.

Gen. Fitzmayers structures on the
sybaritic indulgences allowed to cadets
i'll the military academies of Great Brit
ain have drawn ont sharp replies from
the Governor of Woolwich and Sand
hurst. The explanation is made that
the cadets breakfast at 7 a. M, summer
and winter, and they have, as a
rule, six hours a day to study, in adj
dition to gymnastics and various drills
and exercises. Any want of punctualitr
or orslackness on parade is Immediately
checked by arrest. Respect to the staff,
civil and military, is rigidly enforced. In
addition to the healthy outdoor amuse-
ments of the cadets, they are allowed oc-
casionally to have early dances, from half
past 3 p. m. till II, at which their par
ents, relatives and friends attend.
The expense is very small,
and no supper is allowed. The
supposed luxury of the cadets in point of
food is quite imaginary. Their meals are
plain, and the total cost per diem for
breakfast, lunch dread and cheese), din
ner, coffee and supper is Is. Sd. per head,
including beer or cider. In addition to
the mess arrangements just described the
cadets who wish it are allowed to pur-
chase certain preserved provisions, ginger
beer and soda-water, which are kept in
the establishment for the purpose. 1t is

A correspondent of LIE Globe lately tele-
graphed in detail a conversation he
alleged he had held with the Due De-
caz s. The latter writes to the paper
that he never saw its correspondent and
never said to him or anybody else any
thing resembling what was attributed to
him. One would think this conclusive;
but no. The correspondent replies that
his report is essentially true; that the
Due Decazes knows him we'll and of old
saw him not once but twice and intro

course of publishing the name of its cor

Deadwood is the metropolis of Western

to its present proportions in the short
space of three years, and yet have con-

If one is astonished at the vast mineral
deposits here exposed, the wonderful i'm
proven1ent wrought by the hand of man
Is no less amazing-the fact is by far the
greater wonder. Already fine brick
buildings, scores in number, have been
erected here, and in every direc-
tion can be seen Others partially COM
pleted, or preparations making for their
construction. There is no town west of
the Mississippi, except it be Denver,
where the spirit of improvement has
greater sway. Streets are being opened
and graded, and Water-works are being
constructed that will furnish an ample
supply of the purest water. Every ndi-
cation points to the rapid building up in
this mountain valley of "a solid city, and
one that in few years will be more at
tractive than any in the West.

Chtnese salRtation.


/, The salutations of the Chinese, like
everything else pertaining to this queer
people, are peculiar. The salutation be-
tween two Cinnamon of the better class
when they meet consists in each claspfng
his own hands, instead of each others,
and bowling very profoundly, almost to
the ground, several times. A question
more common than s'How do you do?'' is
seHave you eaten rice?'' It is taken for
granted that if you have eaten rice you
are we'll. Etiquette also requires that in
conversation each shall compliment the
other and everything belonging to him
in the most laudatory style, and depreci-
ate himself, with all pertaining to him, to
the lowest point. The following is no ex-
aggeration, though not the precise words
