Singular PoisOning-Fatal VaPors of
 Serpents' Eggs.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Mr. John Dickinson recently lost his life through inhaling the poisonous vapors used in the manufacture of 'sserpents' eggs" a well-known toy, at his residence, No. 254 Moffat street, Brooklyn. In order to manufacture these eggs it is necessary to subject the chemicals composing them to great heat. It had always been the custom of the deceased man to prepare the mixture in the open air, but last week he compounded it in the house. By some acci- dent the retort containing the chemicals cracked and the poisonous gases suddenly escaped. Mir Dickinson, who was bending over the retort inhaled 8 quantity of the gas. Remarking that it was all over with him, he hastily drove his wife and three children from the room. Soon after he was seized with spasms, and finally died A post-mortem examination was held, and it was found that the lungs and other internal organs were badly congested.

A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE.

1t is complained in San Francisco by the
committee engaged in collecting subscrip-
tions for the Irish Famine Relief Fund,
that irresponsible persons are reaping a con-
siderable harvest by going about person
ating authorized collectors for the fund,
and that the effect of this is to check the
popular iberality. 1t always happens in
cases of this kind that attempts are made
to "work " the charitable movement by
swindlers, and unhappily in some instances
the affectation of authority even by those
who were believed to possess regular Gre
dentials has not prevented the entertain
ment of serious doubts as to the ultimate
disposition of the collections. During the
Fenian Republic agitation sundry fervid
Celtic patriots are said to have lived in the
tallest and richest of clover in New York,
drinking champagne and eating canvas
back ducks ad Ebitum, upon the proceeds
of the subscriptions which innocent SER
want maids and laborers too literally
advanced for the anticipated enfranchise-
ment of their native land 1t is therefore
not to be wondered at that so exceedingly
strong card as the Irish famine should
now be made use of by the professional
swindlers to line their own pockets, and
the trick will probably prove so difficult of
detection that it will be necessary to adopt
some other method than that of peripatetic
collections. For no matter what credentials
the regular collectors are furnished with,
the simplicity of large class of subscrib-
ers will offer them an easy prey to the
spurious agents, and the outcome will be
to enrich the undeserving and at the same
time to give charity a severe strain. 1t is
unfortunate that all appeals of this nature
open the door so widely to fraud, and fraud
of character so extremely difficult to de-
tect and expose.

AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL BILL.

A bill has been introduced by Mr. Cor
ley for regulating the price of gas in cities
OF over 100, 900 inhabitants. This bill is
clearly unconstitutional, being special
legislation of the most pronounced type.
The Constitution prohibits the enactment
of special legislation in all cases "where a
" general law can be made applicable. +"
As matter of course there can be no
necessity for special law regulating the
price of gas for San Francisco. If it is de-
sirable to regulate the price OF gas at all, it
is desirable to regulate it everywhere
throughout the State. Mr.. Gorley pro-
poses that gas shall be sold in San Fran
cisco at 81 per thousand feet. Whv
should the people of San Francisco have
cheaper gas than the people of Sacramento,
or Oakland, or Stockton, or San
Jose, or Marysville, or any other
place? Why should the gas companies
of San Francisco be Disseminated against
in this invidious manner? If it is to be
made misdemeanor to manufacture gas
in San Francisco, it should be made a
to manufacture it anywhere.
Ii capital invested in this business is to
be raided upon, let the raid be indiscrim-
nate and impartial. But there is really
10 reason why gas should be singled out
or this kind of crusade, even though the
Constitution prescribes its regulation.
The Legislature need not apprehend any
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-01-26

failure if it goes into the business of reg
ulation on more liberal scale, for the
Supreme Court of the United States has
declared that everything into which
public use enters is amenable to regula-
ton. This includes all kinds of business,
and as the times are hard and money is
scarce it is in order to reduce
prices generally by statute. 1t may
not be advisable to follow the exam
pie of Jack Cade, and ordain that
the three-hooped pot shall have nine hoops,
but there is nothing to prevent legislation
on the prices of dry goods, and hardware,
and furniture, and groceries, and butchers
meat, and bread, and beer, and whisky,
and whatever else contributes to the main
tenance of life. OF course it is not neces-
sary to inquire how the people to be
regulated can stand it. 1t may cost 50
per thousand to make gas, but that is
nothing to the legislator Ii people cannot
make gas SO as to get a profit out of the
statute price, they may go out of the bust
ness. Now that the regulation fever has
set in we expect that there will be enough
and to spare of it but Mr.. Gorley will
certainly have to amend his bill by making
its application general instead of special.

THE NEGRO EXODUS.

The inquiry into the negro exodus from
the South has thus far brought out great
deal of conflicting testimony. Some of
the witnesses insist that the movement
was spontaneous, and that it had its origin
in the ill-treatment of the negroes by the
whites of the Southern States. Others are
equally positive that political bulldozing
had nothing to do with it, but that the
negroes were enticed away by smooth
tongued emigration agents, who persuaded
them that the Federal Government had
undertaken to provide all of them with
work and food. We have no doubt that
the truth lies between these statements
There have been false representa-.
tions, and there has been bulldozing
and both have had their influence
on the exodus. 1t is even admitted
by those who attribute the episode
entirely to emigration agents, that there is
a class of negroes at the South who have
had their homes broken up, and who are
consequently restless and nomadic. In
many cases these men are no doubt the
victims of political persecution. The at
tempt to deny the agency of ill-treatment
in the matter is indeed preposterous. 1t
would be as rational to assert that there
has never been any bulldozing at the
Sonth. The negroes have in some cases
been deceived into leaving their old homes,
but it is questionable whether the tempt
ers would have found such willing andi-
ence had not previous events caused the |
people to despair of maintaining their
ground.

A QUEER SHEPHERDS FoLD.

A curious trial is proceeding in New
York. The reverend Superintendent of an
institution called "The Shepherds Fold,
intended for the bringing-up of the chill
dren of the poor, has been charged with
gross cruelty to the inmates. The testi-
mony appears to bear out the charge thus
far, and the Shepherd seems to have been
in disposition unpleasantly like wolf.
While his charges were starved and beaten
and neglected, left in the winter nights
without blankets, allowed to contract dis
eases from sheer lack of cleanliness, and
generally treated after the familiar but
not popular style of Dotheboy's Hall,
this Superintendent, whose moral
resemblance to Mr.. Squeers is quite
remarkable, fed on the best of every
thing. The Shepherds Fold is another in
stance of charity thwarted and misapplied.
The fellow who mismanaged it, canting
rascal who made prayers by the hour at
night, and beat and kicked poor little
children during the day, had probably
wormed himself into the confidence of the
patrons of the institution by his pretense
OF sanctimony, and thus obtained position
which would enable him to indulge the
hypocrisy and brutality which appear to be
his leading characteristics. 1t is to be
hoped that the Shepherds Fold will be
abolished if it cannot be made less of a
hideous burlesque upon benevolence, and
that the modern Squeers will be made to
turn his energies into some less mischievous
direction, seeing that he cannot be hanged
out of hand

GEAR AND NIHILISTS.

The disclosure of another Nihilist plot
to blow up the Gar as he was leaving
Moscow is said to have violently agitated
that potentate, who had previously believed
that the recent attempt of that kind was
the work of an individual merely. The
Gar now learns that the terrible secret
organization which has defied all his power
so long and so successfully, was at the
bottom of the first explosion, and that it
has by no means abandoned its designs
upon his life. Seeing with what precision
every sentence hitherto pronounced against
his ministers has been executed, and how
futile have been all the efforts to unearth
the central organization, the Gar certainly
has cause for feeling nervous and appre-
hensive as to the future. For all his power
and dignity he is probably one of the most
unhappy men in Europe to-day, and in the
opinion of many thoughtful observers he
is doomed
