OPENING OF CONGRESS- congress opened at Wash
ington on Monday, December LIST, and the message
of the President was read and referred. 1t is a
lengthy document. occupying some six columns in
small type. and discusses public affairs in detail.
The President congratulates Congress upon the sue
cessful execution of the Resumption Act, and notes
the great revival in business. the balance of foreign
trade up to the middle of November amounting to
about S69, 900 900 in favor of the United States.
Says the .fitd
"Strong ground is taken by the President for
the suppression of ~polygamy in Utah, and he urges
that if the present law is not sufficiently stringent.
that it be made so.
% But is there not reason to hope that a law passed
seventeen years ago for the suppression of the dis
gushing practice of pologamy, and which has re-
manned a dead letter ever since, may prove any
more successful hereafter although the Supreme
Court of the United States has, after this half Of the
lifetime of a generation, decided the law Constitu-
tional? If it has taken seventeen years to obtain
from the Supreme Court q decision declaring a law
for the suppression Of a great moral and Christian
crime, Constitutional, how long will the community
and the world have to wait before the terribly slow
moving processes of our Courts and other engines
of justice shall be active and effective enough to
check this flow of ~impurity toward the modern So
dom, and the obnoxious practices therein of the
f~lthy-minded enemies of the United States Govern
ment, it's laws, and its people, We can only faint
ly hope for a more decided application of law for the
suppression of the vile Paganisms of Utah.
Those who hoped for a settlement of the Indian
troubles will regret to find that the Message recon-
mends the retention of control over the Indians by
the Interior Department. Even the massacre Of
Father Meeker, and the threats against the life of
the Commission now in the White River country, do
not seem to arouse the President to q necessity for q
change of management.
can encouraging word is given to the projected
ship canal across the Isthmus of Nicaragua and
some watchfulness for the interest of the United
States, outside of our borders, is shown in the order
despatching a vessel to Samoa, to take possession of
the barber of Pago-Pago as a coaling station ; as
well as in the presentation of a demand for ten and q
half million dollars from England for injuries to
American fishermen in Fortune Bay"

WINE AND NTEMPERANCE.-A recent issue of the
s. F. Bulletin has the following on this subject
s' The true temperance movement is to be found in
the cultivation of a taste for light wines. That re-
mark is made adyisedly it is founded on statistics,
and it's truth is provable by actual experience. In
the wineproducing countries Of Europe, where wine
is cheap, an intoxicated person is rarely seen. Few
individuals, who are at all accustomed to stimulants,
can imbibe sufficient of a low priced wine to inebriate.
The bulk, on the contrary, is too great for the pur-
pose, while it requires such a small amount Of spirits
to intoxicste. A very marked and gratifying exem-
for ardent spirits tending to temperate habits is found
in Australia. Formerly two gills of rum a day used
to be served to farm and /" station hands. Now, in
most instances, a bottle of native wine is substituted.
This, although at first objected to, soon came to be
PREFER ed by the recipient. He found the bulk so
much greater, the consequent pleasure of drinking so
much prolonged, and the effect mildly exhilarating
without being Supplying. 1t is to be hoped that
like gratifying results will be found in California,
and throughout the Union. Even now, in all the
cheap restaurants of San Francisco, a small bottle Of
native claret is served for ten cents. Numbers par
take Of this for their dinner instead of paying 8 dime
for a glass Of whiskey. The latter would cause a
craving for more drink no such desire is created by
the claret. Commercially, therefore, socially, and in
the cause of temperance and order, our citizens have
reason to felicitate themselves on the wine production
Of our State"

TAR.-With every respect for the opinions and ex-
cellent motives of those of our citizens who contrib
uted to the purchase of tar last week for the purpose
of fumigating the town and driving out malaria,
candor compels the statement that the experiment
was a failure-not to say, a fizzle. The tar was
burned in spots at intervals all over the city, but
there was not a breath Of wind and the smoke rose in
straight columns skyward. probably to the annoyance
of passing ~sea-gulls, but nobody on terra frma could
detect the odor. 1t is quite possible that. with a
breeze to send the smoke inland. the plentiful burning
of tar along the city front and in the streets might
have a beneficial effect in dissipating malaria {; but
the recent experiment was plainly a failure. More
over, the fever was sensibly checked before the tar
was burned.

MnK.-During the dry season. some months
since, the ~dairymen of this city raised the price OF
milk from six to ten cents a quart, for the reason,
as stated at the time, that the pasturage was poor
owing to drought. Now the average of rain fall for
months past has been unusually large and pastur-
age consequently good but milk still remains at
ten cents. Surely, by all natural laws. an increase
of water ought to be followed by an increase in
milk supply. The popular superstition is that in
this particular the milk men know how it is them
selves.

NATIVE PRACTICE.-We hear that among the ma
tives a novel mode of treatment of malarial fever
cases has been quite extensively practiced of late.
Those who are too poor to pay for a foreign physician
and who do not like to send their friends to the
Queens Hospital, are the ones who have initiated
the new practice. They make an infusion of the
leaves of the blue gum (Eucalyptus), in hot water /;
a good dose of this is given the patient internally.
which acts as an emetic the body is we'll sponged
with the liquor as hot as can be borne, and the pa
tient is put to bed and well covered with blankets.
The fever it is said soon abates. after which the treat
ment consists of exclusion from drafts, and a light
diet with m oderate stimulants. 1t is declared that
the practice has been quite successful.
