ExTRAvAGANr BILLS.

We do not think a Legislature has ever
before met in California so prolific in ex-
travagant propositions as the present ses-
sion has been. As there is enough intelli-
gence in the body to prevent the enact
ment OF most OF these preposterous meas
ures it might be thought that but little
harm was dsne by their introduction.
There is, however. a great waste of time
and time costs the State money. And it
almost invariably happens that when one
of these foolish bills comes up for action
there are three or four benighted members
who insist on arguing diffusely in support
of it, and who cannot or will not see the
utter imbecility OF the proposition. Bills
which run counter to the United States
Constitution and the laws and treaties
made under it, are introduced daily. Bills
which are impracticable and ridicu-
lous on their face, such as the
one which the Assembly disposed of yes
terday, providing for the enforced redemp.
ton of political pledges by candidates, are
not less frequent, and are defended as
laboriously. Day after day have been lit
orally wasted in the discussion of these
futile measures, and this wanton waste
of time has been submitted to, notwith-
standing the fact that all the real work of
the session remains to be done. If this
happens with impossible legislation of
the most frivolous character, what are we
to expect when really important measures
are brought forward? If days are squan-
dered upon trifes, will weeks be needed
for the discussion of weighty questions
Certainly the outlook is not promising.

II NOT GRANT, TEEN WHO?

EDS. RECORD UNION: A few months ago
a large majority of Republicans were IN
doubtedly in favor of General Grant as
their next nominee for the Presidency.
believe such to be the fact to-day. l be-
lieve that if the matter could be left to the
natural choice of the people he would be
the nominee of the coming National Con-
vention. But politicians and newspapers
in the interest OF various other candidates
are exceedingly busy in trying to talk and
write him out of the way No active
work has been done for Grant; but a great
is important to consider this question: If
Grant VIII not be the Republican candidate,
who will be? In California Mr.. Blame is
certainly very popular-th it is doubt
full if he be more so than Grant. But if
Grant be out of the way can Blaine
be nominated: From present indica-
tions it is doubtful if he can carry the
delegation of either Ohio, New York,
or Pennsylvania. Is there not danger
therefore, that in the absence of Grant as
candidate, the Convention may again be
compelled to compromise upon some Sec
ond-rate man who will excite no enthrsi-
asm in the campaign. Looking for strength
to all sections OF our great country, l be-
lieve that General Grant is by far the
strongest candidate who can with any GER
tainty be nominated L think that nearly
all Republicans in California win admit
that, next to Blaine at least, he would be
the most popular candidate yet named for
the Pacific States But, asst may be i'm
possible to nominate Blaine, it is impolitic
to join the present newspaper crusade
against Grant, merely to build up some
other candidate, known or unknown.
Grant will not be nominated unless at the
time of the Convention it shall appear that
he is clearly the choice of the party. His
friends only ask that such choice may be
fairly and freely expressed, without too
much adverse manipulation.

THE wedding breakfast is an institution
with which American readers Of British
novels are well acquainted. But perhaps
it IS not so generally understood here that
the wedding breakfast is festive neces-
sity; that it is an institution created by
the English law, which requires that mar
riages shall be solemnized between the
hours of s A. NJ. and II NJ. Mr.. Blener-
hassett, in the House of Commons, has
given notice of bill to repeal this law,
and to allow marriages to be celebrated in
the evening This will abolish the we'd
ding breakfast, with its early drinking and
dissipation, and it's forced hilarity to say
nothing of the sacrifice of whole day on
the part of the guests which it involves,
and the impossibility of getting rid of
feeling of scandalous, daylight tipsiness.
People can now be married there at a post
meridian hour by taking out a special IL
cense, which involves the payment of
good round sum to the Archbishop of Can
terbury. This arbitrarily limited privi-
lege, it is held, should be the free posses
sion of the English people. There is also
some talk of celebrating marriages in draw
ing-rooms after the American fashion.

a COLLEGE WAG.-In a certain college
under Presbyterian auspices, not a hundred
miles from New York, it is rule that the
students shall! attend church at least once
each Sunday, either in the college chapel
or some church in town which they shall
designate, and for attendance satisfac-
tory reasons must be given. OF course on
Monday mornings, when these reasons are
called for, much ingenuity and some fun
are brought out. In one Of these inter
views Professor l. asked student,
"Mr. c., where did you attend church
yesterday"
Mr.. C. replied, "The First Church,
Sir"
The professor, looking little surprised,
said, 'Are you not aware, Mr.. G,
that there was no service at the First
Church yesterday 2"
This was a poser, but was coolly met by,
81 mean, professor, the first church l
came to.
A general laugh followed, and somehow
the young gentleman got rescued.

Who Is Mrs. WINsLow AS this Qpcs-

pecially studied the constitution and wants
of this numerous class, and, as result OF
this effort, and practical knowledge, OBJ
tanned in a lifetime spent as nurse and
physician, she has compounded Soothing
Syrup for children teething. 1t operates
ike magic-giving rest and health, and
is moreover, sure to regulate the bowels In
consequence OF this article Mrs. WinsIow is
becoming world renowned as bcncfactor
of her race; children certainly DO rise up
and bless her; especially IS this the case in
this city. Vast quantities Of the Soothing
Syrup are daily sold and used here. We
think Mrs. Winslow has immortalized her
name by this invaluable article, and We
sincerely believe thousands Of children
have been saved from an early grave by lis
timely use, and that millions yet unborn
will share its benefits, and unite in calling
her blessed No mother has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it the benefit Of
