1t looks very much as though the gen.
eral outlines of the insanity plea in the De
Young Kalloch case had been taken from
the Schroeder trial. There is precisely the
same argument of an antecedent period OF
mental distress and anxiety, the same kind
of physical manifestations of this condi-
ton, in short the same general and very
familiar theory. Unjust be admitted that
this is very tempting line of defense, for Its
elasticity is such that it can be made to
cover any period Of time, and almost any
period of incubation. It remains to be
seen whether it viii affect the San Fran
cisco jury as it did the Oakland one.

ATHALIAH OR ATHALIE.

EDS. RECORD UNION l for one should be
much pleased if the Philharmonic Society
would decide to repeat the oratorio of Atha-
liah. given this week with SO much success.
The oratorios are chief feature of musical
entertainments in New York and other East
ern cities, and there is no reason why they
might not be made so here in due time. I
hope also, as you say, that our Society will
persevere in its good efforts, and they need
not fear to attempt, with practice, the higher
and mere stately or4torios, such So the " Eli
iah" of Mendslssohn, the - Creation of
HAYDN, and Handel's Judas Maccabeus
and % Messiah" 1t would increase the value
of the libretJo to give little fuller statement
o. history in the Z" Argument" Athaiah was
not the sister of Ahab, as stated in the
libretto but his daughter, by the wicked
Jezebel Princess Of Tyre. The intermar-
rage between the Kingdoms of Tyre and Is
raei resulted in the establishment of Baal
worship as ne state religion among the He
brews in the northern kingdom. JezebePs
father was both King OF Tyre and high
priest If Baal, and upon her marriage with
Ahab King OF Israel, she set herself at once
to overthrow the Hebrew religion and to
murder its adhererts. SO that there was
none ike unto Ahab. which did sell himself
to work wciedness in the sight Of the Lord,
whom jezshel, his wife, stirred up" Thus
the WY was prepared for the next step,
n msly, TO introduce Baal worship in
the southern Kingdom Of Judea. This
also was accomplished by an inter
IN arriage. Ahab, King of Israel, and
Jehoshaphat, King Of Judah, having agreed
to suspend their usual hostilites, and make
common cause against their common enemy,
the Syriaus, further agreed to unite their
families by the marriage of their children.
So Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and Jeze-
bsl, became the wife of Jehoram, son of Je-
hoshaphat. On her husbands accession to
the throne, being stirred up by her mother,
she began in Judah the evil work which her
mother had done in Israel When King
Jehoram died she at once took on all the dig
nifty of an Oriental Queen mother" and
when her son, the new King Aheziah, was
killed by Jehu, she took full control of the
Government murdered all the heirs Of the
throne whom she could find, and reigned six
years in Jerusalem. 1t was this forcible in

mR. HEWITT IS SARCASTIC.

Mr.. Hewitt's letter to Marshal Jewell
inclosing a check for 500 in aid of the
pursuit of the Morey letter forger is
quite telling bit of sarcasm. Mr.. Hewitt
has learned that Mr. Jewell is straitened
for funds wherewith to prosecute his in-
quiries, and being greatly DESTROYS that the
"rascal" should be "hunted down, he
proffers his little contribution for this pur-
pose. 1t must be confessed that there is
some justification for this irony. The
Morey letter case has been apparently
suffered to drop since the election, and
though the public have been gravely in
formed at intervals that portentoHs dis
closures were about to be made, nothing
has thus far been disclosed. Mr.. Hewitts
letter. has evidently stirred up the sleepers,
and once more it is announced that all
the facts have been obtained, and that

wgAT BECAME OF CONSUL caIUs.

In the neighbcrhood Of Marseilles, not
long ago, was discovered an ancient Roman
burying- ground, containing, among other
interesting graves, that of Consul Caius
Septimus, wherein quantity of antique
weapons and coins were found, and, more
over, an amphora-the inscription upon
which was all but illegible- containinp
small quantity OF thick, reddish liquor.
The amphora, emptied of It's contents, was
submitted to the inspection of an eminent
arch@ologIst, who, alter bestowing extra
ordinary pains upon the deciphering of the
mutilated characters engraven upon its sur
face, declared it to be his opinion that they
indicated the presence Of genuine Fa!ernian
within the vessel, adding that Caius Sep.
timus, jovial Consul of considerable
repute as Judge of good wine, had obyi-
ously ordered that flask of the best
vintage IN his cellar should be buried with
him. The scientific gentleman who bad
discovered the ConsuPs grave and taken
possession OF its contents upon learn
ing the true character OF the LIQUID
relic IN question, at once started
for Paris with his Falernian in
glass decaDter, and, there arrived. invited
a dozen of his friends, members of the
Academy of Inscriptions, to dinner at
one of the leading restaurants. At dessert
he produced the "Consuls wine, " carefully
poured it into tiny liqueur glasses and hand
ed it around to his guests, exhorting them
to drink it, reverently and outstanding. to
the immortal memory of Caius Septimus.
The glasses had scarcely been emptied
when telegram was brought in by the
head-waiter on salver, and laid before the
founder of the feast. He opened and
glanced at it, and then letting it fall upon
the floor, fled from the room with cry of
terrible agony. One of the startled AGA
demicians picked up the message and read
it aloud. 1t ran as follows "Marseilles,

Another committee has been appointed
by the President to attend the interna-
tional monetary conference which has been
called to meet in Paris. The prospects of
useful action are, however, by no means
brilliant, inasmuch as both Great Britain
and Germany have declined to send
representatives unless it is distinctly I'M
derstood in advance that they have no
thought of changing their monetary sys-
TENS, that they have no intention Of favor
ing bimetallism, and that they will not be
bound by anything the conference may do.
These conditions are of course equivalent
to reputation of all sympathy with the
purposes of the conference. So long as
Germany, England and India are held out
of the proposed combination, it must be
impossible to do anything. Bismarck has
taken this opportunity to announce in the
most emphatic way that he is not in favor of
bimetallism, and this notwithstanding the
fervid representations made some time ago
by Mr.. Kelly OF pennsylvania. 1s is
more apparent than ever that the Apostle
of Pig-iron did not rightly catch the
ChanceIlor's drift at his famous interview j;
and it is more apparent than ever that the
prospect of getting this country out of the
scrape the stupid advocates of the silver
bill involved it in, is remote and dubious
in the extreme. The indications are that
the international monetary conference will
have no practical results that the great
gold powers win decline to make any
changes IN their monetary systems in order
to oblige France and the United States !;

AN rNrALL1BLE REMEDY.

1t is stated that President Garfield is SO
pestered by office-hunters as to have suf-
fered severely in health of late. There is
no reason why he should make himself a
martyr to this kind of annoyance. He has
but to declare his intention to put in prac-
tice the principles of Civil Service Reform,
and this army of place hunters will be
routed. We have no sympathy for an Ex-
ecutive who allows himself to be worried
to death by men whose demands are en-
phatically against public policy, and who,
in the interest of the country, ought to be
rebuffed. President Garfield has the rem
edy for this state of things in his own
hands, and if he fails to apply it that is his
fault

STOCKTON, March 11!h.-A man named
Wallace Graham, gardener, was drowned
about noon to-day in McCloud Lake, by fall

about 80 years, and came here from San Jose
about six months ago.
Coroner Ring returned this evening from
Newhope, on the Mokelumne river, where he
held an inquest on the body of the Chinaman
killed there. The jury found that his name
was Lum Bing, and that he came to his death
by being cut on the head and neck, but by
whom they could not ascertain.
