THREE or four bills have been intro
duced in the California Legislature to
regulate the operations of gas companies,
as to the quality and price of their pro-
duct and requiring the greatest publici-
to be given, at brief intervals, to their
financial affairs. There is much feeling
against the gas company in Gan Fran
cisco, and the people are determined to
have light at reasonable rate.

AMONG all the cities of Italy suffering
from famine and misery this winter Rome
bears the heaviest burden. The trade of
the city has declined sine the overthrow
Of the Pope's Government, and the taxes
are a hundred fold what they were
they were almost nominal under the
Pope., as the whole world contributed
10 enrich the city. Large capitalists
from Turin and Milan have monopolized
what has been left of the trade once poF-
essed by Roman merchants.

I WONDER IF HE WOULD CARE.

II he could know was jesting
In my Idle words that day;
II he knew with what care I'm investing
The rose that he threw away;
How against decay I'm protesting
Iwondsr what he would say.
II, when the sun ls fading
From crimson to faintcst pink,
He knew Of the sorrow invading
My heart, which from It doth shrink
With tears my folly upbraiding,
Iwondsr what he would think.
Nhe knew that was rspenting
Words spoken 80 thoughhesSly,
Would he still the slight bs resentingi
Still think unkindly Of moi
II he knew that was relentng
Iwonder II he would be.
II he knew now had been cryinS
Over his picture there;
II he could hear me signing
His name in sorrowing prayer;
II he should hear OF me, dying,
Iwonder II hs would care.

from 20 to 80 cents per week, and weekly
papers from 81 so 80 80 per year.
The advance in paper can be stopped
IL the people Will save and sell their old
paper and rags. Three months saving
of rags and old paper by the entire pop
ulation, and selling them in the markets,
would check the advance in paper. Rags
are worth from 3 to 81 cents per pound.
Every newspaper in the land should
appeal to the people in this matter. And
they should also economize in the con-
sumption as much as possible.
