The theatrical critics of San Francisco
with some few exceptions, are notorious for
their ignorance of dramatic matters, and lack
Of good sense. Their plan is simply to en-
dorse their personal friends and condemn
their enemies. The Stock Erchange has the
following, which is good illustration of their
method of letting the public know what is
good or otherwise.
Our local critics remark that Miss Marion
Singers success in all the Eastern cities is the
consequence of the greatest perseverance
and grit combined with great ability" They
also note in very congratulatory manner that
she has not received one adverse notice in the
Eastern press. She acted and sang some six
years here, and never got good notice in the
San Francisco papers. She did, indeed, show
perseverance, and grit when such ignorance
and stupidity did not cause her to lose hope
and courage.

ABOLITION OF THE ELECTORAL COL
LEGE.

The Senate Committee is about to report
for passage the resolution to amend the Con
stitution and abolish the Electoral College,
making the election of President by direct
popular vote When one comes to examine
into the machinery of the Electoral College,
il becomes a wonder that such an institution
was ever devised There is nothing so useless
in all the system of American Government,
and nothing 80 we'll calculated to defeat the
very plan upon which Republican form OF
government is founded. 1t may at any time
result, and has resulted, in the seating of Pres
idents in the chair who represented minori-
BY of American voters. Our government has
for fundamental principle, the rule of the ma,
jority; and any system which defeats that idea
should be cast aside. The Electoral College
has been described as a clumsy and rounda-
bout way to arrive at an intended result 1t
is worse; it is a roundabout way to arrive at
result which never was intended at all. The
whole thing savors of red tape and stupidity,
and the voters of America will hail with de-
light the day when they can 60 to the polls
and vote directly for President

THE Mint authorities take pains to tele-
graph that the reason the Carson Mint does
not coin silver dollars is because they cannot
purchase silver bullion here at Philadelphia
rates. If they will pay in addition what it
costs to send silver dollars here from the
East they can get bullion enough. With the
silver men here it is simply matter of bnsi
ness. With the Mint authorities it looks
as though it was something more than
legitimate business Enterprise.

There are at present fifty girls among the
students Of Cornell University, thirteen of
them being freshmen. Michigan University
has 134 female students, and the President of
that institution says of the system of educat-
ing the sexes together: "After our nine
years experience in co-education, we have
become so accustomed to see women take up
any kind of university work, carry it on sue
cessfully, graduate in good health, cause no
embarrassment in the institution, and awaken
no especial solicitude in the minds of their
friends or of their teachers, that many of the
theoretical discussions OF co-education, by
those who have had no opportunity to exam
inc it carefully, read strangely to us here on
the ground. 1t is q cause of sincere congrat,
ulation that, both in this country and Europe,
the opportunities for women to obtain as ex-
tended an education as men, are rapidly null
tiplying."

THE NORTHERN SEA-Professor NOrd-
sensjo lds recent Arctic expedition has led
him to the following results regarding the
practicability of commercial route along
the coast of Northern Siberia: l. That a
voyage from the Atlantic TO the Pacific
Ocean, along the coast of Siberia, may
frequently be made in few weeks by a
vessel specially adapted and manned with
experienced seamen, but that so far as the
conditions of the Siberian Polar Sea are at
present known, the whole route can hardly
have any practical Importance for trading pur-
poses 2. That there are no obstacles to
commercial traffic through the waters
between the mouths of the Oh and Jenisel
and Europe. 8. That in all probability
sea passage between the Jenisel and Lena,
and between the Lena and Europe, as a
trade route is also possible, providing the
ont and homeward voyage be not under
taken in one Summer L. That further
researches are requisite before it can be
decided whether the waters between the
mouth of the Lena and the Pacific are
available for mercantile navigation. The
experience already collected shows, however.
that steamships with heavy implements and
other goods, not easily to be forwarded by
land or sledges, may at any rate pass from
the Pacific to the Lena.

FROM BUTTE.

EDITOR UUsBANDMAN:
A somewhat serious accident occurred in
this city on the 4th inst, at the cabin OF
Jack O'Connel, who will be remembered by
many Of your readers as a former resident
OF Diamond City. A couple of sticks of
giant powder had been placed in the oven OF
d cooking stove to thaw. The fire had died
out. and from the warmth of the stove no
danger was apprehended, but from some
cause not clearly understood at the present
writing, the powder ignited, blowing the
stove into a million fragments, more or less,
and completely demolishing all of said stove
except one Of the doors. At the time OF
the explosion there were IN the cabin Messrs.
O'Connel. Broadly and Richard Ody; the
first mentioned stood in front of the stove,
and within a few feet of it, washing dishes;
the other two men stood beside the stove,
with their backs to it. O,Connel escaped
without injury except some slight bruises
Ody received a flesh wound in the arm,
which Broadly sustained more serious inJn-
RES by having a piece Of the stove driven
into the calf of his ieg' and imbedded IN the
bone. Considering the manner IN which
the cabin was Wrecked-one corner being
blown out, the root displaced, dishes all
broken and a moderate-si7ed shaft sunk
where the stove had been-that these men
should escape with their lives seems almost
miraculous. ). w. C.

THE COMING SARATOGA.

Meagher connty's celebrated health and
pleasure resort, the White Sulphur Springs,
Justly merits its widespread popularity.
Unlike the medicinal waters of other coun-
tries which burst forth among rugged hills
in narrow, almost inaccessible defles, these
springs bubble forth in the midst OF q beau
tiful grassy valley miles in extent, where
thousands of cattle, horses and sheep roam
and luxnriate the year round. 1t seems as if
Nature in her frolic mood had scooped out
the beautiful valley, leveled it OIL into driv-
ing parks and pleasure grounds, sent clear,
cool wilIowtringed brooks ~meandering
through it, piled up huge mountain ranges,
leaving low passes between, ane. cut and
scooped the snowy pinacles into romantic
grandeur, as if designing the spot for a home
for the pleasure-seeker and AN asylum for
the sick and afflicted. At least one who
has looked upon its beauty in mid summer

The Herald, of last week, announced that

raj. Mineral and Mechanical association was
being put in type and would be forthcom-
ING soon !; also published q portion OF the
programme. from which we are led TO inter
that the coming fair will be no Improvement
over the last, and consequently is not des-
tined to interest the agricultural class 20
any considerable degree. Had the associa-
ton announced that stock would be parad-
ed in Il ring in front of the amphltheatre'
In classes with regard to age and breed,
etc, giving the people a chance TO see
IL Justice wac done, and the commlttee
for the award Of premiums called from the
audience after the stock were brought IN,
there would doubtless nave been a much
liyplier interest manifested. But when all
the time is consumed in racing, and all 9th
or stock are left in their stables ana the
premium awards made there among a crowd
OF croakers, each pulling for a ribbon, there
ID but little show for the best animal. The
premium In this case is all that Is sought.
Where stock are paraded before the people,
even he who fails to get a premiums IS bene-
fitted. as such exhibition of his stock would
prove valuable to any breeder who takes
pride in his business. We Lave urged the
association from time to time to open to the
stock-growers some inducement to attend
their exhibitions; but with no avail. They
must, therefore, await the revelations OF
time to know. At present only those OF
our stockmen and farmers who wish to close
out business attend the fair with their stock,
and it will very probably continue SO until
the proper encouragement is held out--pe
that early or late.
