PARIS, France, Nov. I.
A FRIoHTFuL and probably unprecedented
balloon accident occurred last evening at Caur-
bovoie, near Paris. A large crowd had assem-
hled to witness the novel and perilous ascent
of gymnast called Augusta Navarro, who,
with inoxpllcable foolhardlness, had Yolun-
toered 10 perform u number of athletic feats
on trapeze suspended from Montgolher
balloon named the "Nidauyillaise." Reject
ing the advice Of bystanders, Navarro refused
to allow himself TO be tied to the tTapeze.
There was no car attached to tho balloon. At
about Ave O'Clock the "Vidauviaise" was
lot loose from lts moorings and rose majestic
ally in the air. Navarro hanging ON to the
trapeze, appeared quite confident, and repeat
edly saluted the spectators. when, however,
the balloon had reached a height OF 1909 yards,
the crowd was horrlhed 70 see him suddenly
let 20 the bar and fall. The tragic descent was
watched In breathless excitement. Atlast the
body reached the ground, striking with such
force that Il made q hole In the earth two feet
deep, robounding four yards. Itwas crushed
and manglod almost beyond recognition.
Meanwhile the balloon, freed from It's human
ballast, shot up with lightning speed, and soon
disappeared from sight Late In tho evening
II burst and fell at Menllmoutante, much to
the CONSERVATION Of the inhabitants Of that
busy Parisian quarter.

The wife of Charles Barret, of
Strathory, Canada, was walking with
her husband through his wheat field,
when she was attacked by monstrous
blowing adder. The first blow was on
her leg, at the knee, and the second
left the snake fastened to her skirts.
She endeavoured to shake him off, and
ran, but tainted before she had gone
ten feet Her husband then caught
the reptile by the head in a hay rake
and it was killed. When inflated it
was six inches in diameter and five feet
long.

"A crowd Of Tyrolean emigrants at
traoted great attention at the Eastern
Railroad of Paris recently, and two
youths of about fifteen seemed espe-
cially interested in the handsome ap-
pearance of the picturesque mountain
eers in their national costume, One of
the number extremely well dressed,
had his wife and five young children
around him, and was gazing placidly
about, when, putting his hand to his
pocket, he discovered that his great
leathern purse was gone The scene
which followed was most distressing.
Tears ran down the poor fellow cheek
as he told how he was penniless, hav-
ing sold everything to reach the United
States, and realized the $500 in gold
which was in his purse The two young
men, who, it is believed, stole the mon-
ey, had got well away before the theft
was discovered.

A contemporary referring to the sand lot
Sunday performance says there was alarge

perohed on fences, and waiting for fight,
and adds; ''That is. the true American

admit for arguments sake this to be man
Hesitation OF American character-though
the exemplifcation is BY no means peculiar
Iy American that the flight expected
by the congregation was to be between
parties, neither of whom are American by
birth or in idea. The sand lot gathering
referred to, the intimidation, the inter
ference with the right of assembly, the
disturbance of one public meeting by
another, ETC., all emanated from foreigners
born foreigners who have not as yet real
lied that they are on American soil, with
any obligations to respect anything but
their own sweet wills, Certainly the con-
duct of these wranglers is not OF charac-
ter to convince the people that they are
less dangerous immigrants than some Others
that have been found fault with. The
shameful rows and bullyings at the sand lots
are the disgrsceful acts of two parties,
neither Of which, be it noted, is the Re.
publican party. Error is never so well
employed as when engaged in combating
itself.

THE FRENCH ANNIVERSARY.

To-day is by French people observed as
national holiday. Most French residents
throughout California have arranged to
mark the passage of the day by appropriate
ceremonial, and Americans will look on
with interest The French constituent
assembly beginning in May, 1889, was the
6rst of the great assemblies which guided
the French Revolution, and ultimately
succeeded in establishing the principles
which still form the basis of the French
law and constitutional and religious
liberty, equality of rights and popular SOW
ereignty. The State prison or Bastile, the
citadel of Paris, was destroyed in the be-
ginning of the Revolution, July II, 1889,
it having then stood nearly four and a
quarter centuries. On that day all the
mysteries and horrors of this fastness of
despotism were given to the sunlight by an
indignant people, and the anniversary Of
the destruction OF the stronghold of Princes
is now observed as day of rejoicing by
French republicans, who date the birth of
the Republic from that day.

KApLAN GUsH.

Whenever man comes to think that he
is utterly Indispensable to the country, he
is worthless to the country. There never
lived the man SO necessary to the nation
that his place ceuld not be filled. The law
says the Registrar of Voters in San Fran
cisco shall hold Office at the pleasure of the
Governor. Kaplan was appointed by
Governor Irwin, Democrat; is removed
by Governor Perkins, a Republican. It
was just as right to remove as TO appoint.
Governor Perkins appointment of Tharp is
no more to be condemned than Governor
Twins appointment of Kaplan. Governor
Twins pleasure could not extend be-
yond his term, and Kaplan was to hold
office I" at the pleasure of the Governor.
The Office is a political one, and therefore
properly held at the pleasure of the politi-
cal party to which the people intrust the
government and to hold or attempt to
hold on to the office as Kaplan did, was a
breach of good breeding, and a neutralizing
of the pleasure OF the Governor, which
the law vested in him as prerogative.
The truth is, Kaplan was not indispensable.
There are just as good men, and we hope
many better bred ones, and the idea that
all the honesty and uprightness of the
country is bound up in the diminutive
Kaplan, and that without him the city OF San
Francisco viii go to eternal smash, is as
absurd as it is sickening, and the time will
come when reference to recent gush of fawn-
ing and whining over Kaplan will be con-
sidered an insult by al decent San Fran
ciscans. The new Registrar, by the way,
proposes to cut down the expenses of the
Office from 80 to 40 per cent. Does this
account fer the milk in the Democratic
cocoanut which Governor Perkins has
cracked with the Tharp hammer: Pos
sibly all these tears may now be traced to
the true fountain head.

SENSIBLE.

The Bulletin is sensible. It deprecates
the moan over the fall in the estimates
made of San Francisco's population from
800. 900 of brag, to $4,000 of fact, and
says that the truth of the matter is, San
Francisco never had 300, coo, nor any
where near it, and that all the buster and
vanity which prated of that figure was
fiction, and there never was basis for it.
1t finds consolation in the fact that 233, coo
is 50 per cent. increase in ten years, and
no other city shows such proportional gain.
That is probably true, and enough TO boast
of without moaning over the descent from
vanity nights.

A mining claim must be fairly defined

A JOKE on a DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE
The removal of General Garfield from
Portage to Lake county was the occasion
Of an excellent joke upon the last Demo
cratic Legislature Of Ohio. The Legisla
ture was elected in the fall of the year il
which the General came into Lake county,
but it's leaders seem to have been ignorant
of the fact Of his removal, and when they
undertook TO gerrymander the State into
new Congressional districts in the session
of 1878, they took great pains to put
Portage county into a strong Democratic
district, in order, as one of them elegantly
expressed it, to keep that id Garfield
out Of the House of representatives.. = But
they succeeded only In making the district
in which he actually lived even more
strongly Republican, and he was reelected
to Congress in 1878 by nearly 10, 000 ma
jority over the Democratic candidate.
Since then his election to the Senate and
his promotion to higher honors has lifted
him above district lines.

CLEAR WATER.

1t is said line flowing artesian wells have

Twentieth street, and four that have
flowed steadily near the east boundary
of the city. It would seem recent ex-
pertinent has held out the hope that we
can get clear water in plenty at nominal

tify immediate inquiry and action. Our
pipes are already laid, and if artesian well
water can be had in quantity all we have
to do is to lit it little hight and turn it

justified in immediate examination. II
the information we have is correctly con-
veyed there is near at hand water supply
bursting up from tie earth cold, clear and
pure, sufficient to supply this city in large
part. Alameda sunk six artesian wells
near each other, and gets an unfailing sup
