Blue Glass Again.

The latest Boston medicll idea 10
an elaboration of the blue glass
theory. Sunlight Is thrown into
water through colored lenses, and
thus curative qualities are impart.
ed to the water. The inventor says
so, at least. 1.-THE SUMS rays" be
explains, "are composed of actual
substances, with their exquisite
and wonderful chemical powers,
and, aided by spectrum analysis, L
have been able to give the leading
elements which compose each color.
Each color has its own distinct
power to heal" Red, orange and
yellow are warm colors, and d.
rectly exciting in their nature,
while blue and violet are soothing.
His manner of applying these
remedies ia as follows: "Health
comes from the equilibrium of
colors In the human system, and
whenever any one color is 90 much
in excess as to produce disease,
harmony must be brought about
by finding the color which is its
chemical affinity. Thus, If q per-
son abounds in redness, as in red
hair and flushed skin, he needs
blue light. Whenever the blue
prevails too much, so as to give
blue veins, blue fnger-nails and
pale, cold condition. the warm red
and orange light Is needed. When
a person has too great nervous
activity, the yellow, together with
some red elements of his system,
are too active and he needs the vio-
let and blue elements of sunlight.to
harmonize his forces and act as de-
lightful nervires." Converts to
this new school of medicine sus-
pend colored lenses over bowls of
water and drink the warmed fluid.

1T IL somewhat curious circum-
stance that, almost coincident with
the appearance Of the four or five
very hot days with which the mild
Summers of Los Angeles open, the
forest fires begin. This recurs with
such unvarying regularity that one
is tempted to look upon the excess
sive heat and the forest fires as
upon cause and effect, and to refer
the latter to spontaneous combus-
ton. The San Fernando and Ca
huenga range OF mountains seem to
be those specially favored by these
fires. If they are referable to mere
carelessness some means should be
taken to guard against them In the
future.

A Hint to the Postoffice.
louisville CourIer-Journal.l

louisville Courier-J ournal)
There were some mad men in o
certain Kentucky postofiice few
days ago. A postal card was
dropped into the letter-box, ad-
dressed to "Rev. John Penobscot.
-, -" 1t was an ordinary
card and the Postmaster was an or
binary Postmaster. He took it up,
glanced at the address, turned 1t
leisurely over, and read:
-, -, May %, 1879.
You, to whom this card Is not ad-
dressed, and who, nevertheless,
have the cheek to read 1t, are con-
temptible, unprincipled sneak, and
q prying, pusillanimous puppy.
GEORGE f. DUaAN.
The Postmaster laid the card
gently down and lounged to the
other end of the house, softly
whistling "Nancy Lee" In due
time the clerk came upon the card,
perused 1t, and made the neighbor-
hood hideous with the bowls of his
pet dog, which he kicked In the
ribs. How the card Jared with the
various route agents through which
1t passed it is impossible to say, nor
do we know whether 1t was read
by the woman who Is Postmistress
Of the Office where the Rev. John
Penobscot is supposed to get his
mail; but the report is that on the
day it reached there she smash ed
bottle of ink on her husbands head,
spanked the children all around
and chewed up ninety-flve cents
worth of wax. We cannot be too
careful never to write on postal
cards anything in the least caleu-
lated to wound the sensitive delica-
cy OF the Postoffice peoples feel
ings.

Sharper Than a Lawer.

A wag of a lawyer, says the lowe
State Register, was sitting in his
office the other day, deeply en-
gagged in unravelling some knotty
question, when a gentleman en-.
tered and inquired:
"Is this Mr.. Z.?"
The student of Blackstone, rails
ing his eyes from the legal book
before him, replied:
'If you owe me anything, or
have any business in my line, then
z. is my name; If you have q claim
to present, l am not the man; II
you called simply for q friendly
chat, you can call me any name"
II propose to present you with
some business in your line. 1 have
q note for twenty-five dollars
want you to collect" and handing
the lawyer q note, departed to call
the next day. AS soon as he was
gone the lawyer ascertained that ii
was one OF his own promises to
pay.
The next day his client appeared
and inquired:
swell, what SUGGEST"
GAIL right; 1 have collected the
money. Here it is, less my fees"
handing him fifteen dollars.
"Good!" said the client; ~ have
made two dollars and half by the
operation"

field disaster. The above named

Ossion when heavily laden with
passengers and just ready to leave
the wharf, the boiler exploded with
great loss of life. A number of suits
for damages were begun, but Uncle
Jake ingeniously brought forward
the plea that the contract was void,
since the accident occurred on Sun
day. This plea afforded an effectual
bar, and shows that Uncle Jake
was not far behind his famous
brother in the art of cornering an
adverse party. Uncle Jacob lives
on Staten Island and keeps up the
family dignity in that ancestral
spot, which is so closely identified
with the Vanderbilt family.

10 just upon us. There seems to be
. cool assumption that the Demo-
cratic party will fail to present its
custom ary|d determined front. Those
who calculate on anything of the
kind are reckoning without their
host. As yet this is no party's
light, and the Democracy, having
the last word, is quite apt to aston
ish those who have been banking
upon its inertness. If the Chronicle
can infuse enough vitality into the
new Constitution party to enable
It to take an airing in q baby cart,
the old Democracy may astonish
some Of the youngsters with the
vigor 1t will display. As to Los
Angeles county, we do not believe,
II good men shall be nominated on
. sound platform, that there will
be any serious OBJECTIONS from the
party other than those which have
been known for over a year past.
The probability is that unusual

II now seems to be settled that

& II now seems to be settled that
Grant will arrive In San Francisco
from Japan about the beginning of
August. We are assured by his
pastlsans that nothing political is
lntendsd In this demonstration. or
eoufDs' not. Should the Republican
party, following up Its ostentatious
reception, conclude to renominate
Grant for . third term, of course
nothlng political would be even
dreamed Of in that. It would be
merely intended as q non.partizan
and friendly greeting to the Cen
oral. Should 1t succeed in electing
Him, and should 1t next essay to keep
him In the White House for life,
still NO motive Of . political char
acfer would have entered into any
stage Of the programme. And so
On, od Massseans. 1t Is fast becom-
Ing apparent, however, that John
Sherman proposes to take vigor-
ous hand In the matter. He has
dlsslpAted all doubt Of his attitude
by stating his own candidacy and
proposing to lean, should he be
elected. on the War Democrats and
those Republicans who have been
aIienatsd from their party during
Grants two administrations. The
Last CLAUSE Of the foregoing sem
tenee IL not exactly what Sherman
says, but 1t Is what he plainly
means. He is limiting at the Bah.
cocks, Belknaps, Bose Shepherds,
ETC., etc., who made Grants civil
career : very unsavory one, and be
u suggesting. what is an undoubted
truth, that it would be very dis
nstrous thing and q further disin-
tsgration Of the Republican party
10 threaten the country with fur
thsr infliction of Grantism. Some
Of the "stalwarts" will not warm
up to "honest" John Sherman, but
he is developing formidable
strength as q Republican candidate
for the Presidency notwithstand-
ing. The true status Of the Grant
movement may properly be stated
thus. II the Republican leaders
think that the country is not in a
humor to be "bull-dozed" by mill
ttary man, they will drop Grant
and say they never intended to
nominate him and he will write q
letter stating that the Office was
highly distasteful to him and that
he would not have accepted a NOM
nation under any circumstances,
ETC., etc. II, on the other
hand, they think that they
can either bully or cajole
the American people into allowing
the insertion Of an entering wedge
which will lead to personal and
dsspotic government, and to the
overthrow of the Republic, they
will carry Grants nomination with
San hurrah and tiger. 1t is quite
probable that the developments
will be such as to give the Repub-
lican candidacy to John Sherman,
or some other dark horse" and
that Grants Importance as the
imam on horseback" will steadily
dwindle from new till the day Of
meeting Of the Republican Ma.
tional Convention.

CITY.
NEW YORK, June 3d.-The Iri-
bune to-day, on local affairs, says:
Efforts have been made by the
anti.Tammany Aldermen to re-
unite with the Republicans, but
the latter are suspicious that the
efforts are not made in good faith.
Since they learned that certain of
their anti-Tammany allies were
negotiating to give Tammany Hall
q majority OF the Board, they have
lost confidence In their former
friends. Moreover, the anti.Tam-
many members Of the Board are
not harmonious, and Republicans
cay they can have no guarantee
that an agreement made with them
will be carried out. The action of
the Mayor in endeavoring to fill as
many offices as possible with Til
den men has tended to make Re
publicans suspicious of the inten.
tions of the Rnti-Tammany leaders.
Republican Aldermen say they
will not vote to confirm any NOM
lnation made to help Tilden, and
the Tammany Aldermen are OF the
same mind.

NEW YORK, June 3d.-The ton.
mage movement from Atlantic

with the clearance of the Alame-
da, and has been as follows: Four

Baltimore and two from Philadel-
phia, one Of the latter going to
Portland. These seven vessels reg
lister 1881 tons, against nine ves-
sells of 1865 tons in the cores

five months of last year, q decrease
Of seven vessels, registering nearly
200 tons. Although there is ap.
parentiy a great falling off In the
movement this year, it would be
proper to state that tho vessels

very large vessels, three OF them
being over 1000 tons register, and
these had more or less railroad
iron, etc., as a part of their cargo.
80 that the amount of general car.

equal to that Of last year, is not
very much behind, as all vessels
this year have, as general thing,

Of tonnage on berth and committed
for this trade In its various
branches is much larger than at
any one time for several months,
amounting to thirteen vessels reg
