The CorraIItos Ditch.

We have examined an interest.
ing decision of Judge Stephens in
the case of Henry Elms and others
VS.. the City of Los Angeles, In
which is involved the question of
the city's right to control the wa
ters of the COrralitos- Chavez ditch.
After an exhaustive review of the
evidence, the Judge concludes that
the equities of the complainant are
fully met and denied by the answer
and affidavits, and therefore refuses
the application for an injunction.
This leaves the city in control of
the waters of the ditch. We regret
that the length of the opinion of
the Judge prevents its being given
in full.
The case was presented by Mr.. A.
III. Judson for the plaintiffs and the
City Attorney for the defendant.

The Grand Canal of China.

For six or eight hundred years the
Grand Canal, crossing the great plain of
Northern China, from Pekin in the
north to Hangchow In the south, has
been the chief line of communication
and commerce between the capital and
southern portions of the Chinese Empire.
The canal proper is more than 600 miles
long, and, with its branches, is said OF
supply 1000 miles of waterway, and the
means for irrigating and retaining
many thousand square miles of thickIy
peopled country. During recent years,
however, the vast sums appropriated for
the management and repair of the Grand
Canal have been so largely absorbed by
dishonest officials that the canal has be-
come practically unfit for commerce in
many parts; while the estimated cost of
putting it in good condition is so hope
leSsly beyond the capacity of an empire
impoverished by war, famine and official
rapacity, that the Imperial Government
are seriously considering the propriety
of abandoning the canal entirely. For
the first time since the canal was built
the food supplies from the south for the
support of the capital (and for the rC-
lief of the famine-stricken regions to the
north and west) have this year been for
warded by sea-a much speedier and
more economical route, no doubt; still,
for the great plain and its millions of in
habitants, the canal is practical neees-
sity, and, to let it go to further destruc-
tion, viii seriously endanger their pros
perity, if not their lives.-IScientifie

Fish Not a Brain Food.

DR.. J. w. Draper, in an article in Har-
per's Magazine for April says: Since du-
ring the acts of sensation and intellec-
ton phosphorus is consumed in the brain
and nervous system, there arises ne
cessity to restore the portions consumed,
or, as the proper expression is, to use
brain food. Now, as every one knows,
it is the property of phosphorus to shine
in the dark; and as fish in a certain
stage of putrefactive decay often emit
light, or become phosphorescent, it has
been thought that this is due to the
abundance of phosphorus their flesh con-
tains, and hence that they are eminently
suitable for the nOurishment of the ner-
vous system, and are an invaluable brain
food. Under this idea many persons re-
sort to a diet of fish, and persuade them
selves that they derive advantage from
it in an increased vividness of thought,
signal improvement in the reasoning
powers. But the flesh of fish contains
no excess of phosphorus, nor does its
shining depend on that element. Decay
ing willow wood shines even more bril-
liantly than decaying fish; it may some
times be discerned afar off at night. The
shining in the two cases is due to the
same cause.-the oxidation of carbon, not
of phosphorus, in organic substances
containing, perhaps not perceptible
trace of the latter element. Yet surely
no one found himself rising to u pOetical
fervOr by tasting decaying willow wood,
though it ought, on these principles, to
be a better brain food than a much
larger quantity of fish.

A Judge Murdered for Render
ing q Decision Adverse te .
Party 10 q Suit.

FRANKFORT. KY, March 26-Judge J.
N. Elliott, of the Court of Appeals, was
assassinated and instantly killed on the
street, in front of the Capitol Hotel, at 1
o'clock, by Thomas Buford. of Henry
county. Elliott had rendered an adverse
opinion to case BufOrd had in court for
some time. Buford loaded double
barrel shot gun and waited for Elliott to
come to dinner, and walked up and shot
him through the heart without warning.
Buford was arrested and is now in Jail.
There is great excitement and strong
feeling against him. Buford, after his
arrest, acknowledged that the other bar
rel was loaded for Judge Pryor, and
would have killed him also had not
some children been in the way. He is a
brother of Gen. Abe BufOrd, of Wood
ford county.

cruelty and savage barbarity. The at
tendants at that happy abode enjoy
themselves by "gleefully taking down
the patients" knocking down the men,
and tripping down the women. Then
one brute makes sofa for his knees of
the breast of the woman, while others
choke and gag her, until the patient is
too near dead to remOnsSrate. Another
occupation is to strip patients naked,
and with wet towels whip them into
submission. The towel stings like the
lash, bat leaves no cuts to tell its infa-
nous story. Other patients have been
kicked, gouged, ducked, over-wOrked,
shut up in those exquisite instruments
of torture, "the crib" with other ingeni-
Gus methods of punishent known to
brutes and ruffians.
These charges cannot go without be-
ing sifted to the bottom. If the Legis-
lature fails to reach the whole truth in
this business and punish the guilty par
ties as they deserve by dismissing them
from Office and handing them over to the
law for punishment, there will be no
more Democratic Legislatures known in
the State Of Ohio. The great mass Of

Recent investigations by NJ. Jeannot
have enabled him to demonstrate for
medicO-legal purpose the difference
which exists between hair in a
healthy or diseased state of the body
and on a corpse; also as to its varieties,
its place of growth and the age and sex
of the individual. He also claims to be
able to prove by specimens submitted
whether it had fallen out. There is al
so theory, which yet remains to be
proved, that the presence of arsenic in
the body may be detected in the hair. In
the many murder cases, where hair has
been found on the deadly instruments.
these investigations may be used to adj
vantage in the courts in fixing crimes
on the perpetrators.
