A French chemist named Gros pro- fesses to have made discovery which acquits both France and Germany of the charge brought by each against the other of having used poisoned bullets during the late war. This horrid accu- sation has been defended by the sur
 geons on both sides, who have persisted in declaring that poison was present in many wounds which they treated, in sufficient quantities to baff1e their skill
 M. Gros traces this poison, not to de- iberate human contrivance. but to the breechloaders of tte period. The kindling of the gunpowder, he says, developed in tue sides of the barrel a small quantity of pruesic acid, which was imbibed by the ball during it's rapid transit, and this fearful poison was consequently lodged in the wounds of many luckless Frenchman and German. Hence the reason why it was so often found to be difficult, or even impossible, to heal even sli ght wounds, and the doctors on both sides were justified in their declaration that poison was present. The fact that similar poisonings of the wounded did not occur formerly was due, says M. Gros, to the paper ufed, which ab- sorbed the small particles of poison and regularly cleansed the gun-barrel

Who Makes Money in Wall Street.

 But will this Wall street business continue? Does it not seem as if specu- lation in railway securities has culmin- ated? Transactions within ten years have run up from 50, 900 to nearly 1000, 900 shares day. The sales in 1880 amounted to nearly 100, 900. 900 shares, and in 1879 to about 75,OOO, 900 shares, while during the past year the shares sold reached the enormous total of 128, 162 ,466; in other words a busi- ness representing $l3,0OO,OOO. GOO. Not only the whole country, but every capi- tai in Europe has been speculating through our stock exchange. But the investigating public has found out that there is no money for it in Wall street. It is the leaders in the street and the inside operators who always profit at the expense of the outside public. The cards are stocked and the dice loaded every time. Any "square" gambling game gives the man who risks his money 8 far better chance than when he deals in the most conservative se- curities in the street. All kinds of business in 8 new country like this offer greater inducements for the in- vestment of capital than does the put ting up of margins on stock in Wall street.-NeaD Fork Hour, -.. se'''

Wsatsh-Htvtuk OowspOur.

For some time past the HERALD
has resolutely declined to regard
this as dry year, notwithstanding
the long deferred rains. We were
in doubt up till the time immense
quantities of snow were impactod
on the Sierra Madre range, serving
as good condenser, but then our
doubts yielded to the confident be-
lief that oil would ultimately be
we'll. Conceding the fact that our
sheep interests have suffered soDe-
what, this is the only hint of disas-
ter we have thus far encountered.
The rains of yesterday and last
night simply put grass, hay and
grain beyond peradventure. For
tunately, we have had all along a
class OF determined and energetic
rancheros who have declined to adj
NIT the theory that we should have
q dry year. From Newhall to San
Fernando, from the Centinela and
Wilmington to Spadra, the Monte
and the Nietos valley, the plough
has been driven blithely straight
along, and an unusual area has
been planted to wheat and barley.
The copious, gentle and warm
rains of the past twenty -four hours
have been worth millions of dollars
to this county. Full as this section
is OF croakers of the Olden time,
not man with a lugubrious face
can now be found within the
length and breadth Of Los Angeles
county. Already, even before
these last rains, the grass had fair
Iy started. Now lush meadows are
assured. While this county, in all
regards save the mesa lands, is in
dependent of the rainfall, yet 1t is
very desirable to have several mill
lion dollars worth of spontaneous
grasses upon the ground, which
will cure themselves into hay In
our genial summer sun; and it is,
beyond all things, good to have an
assurance of a couple of million
dollars worth of wheat and barley.
The same rains which will give
crops to the mesa farmers. will add
at least tbirty.three and a third
per cent. to the yield of our vine-
yards, and will quicken the
reproductive energies OF old Nature
in many ways. The people of Los
Angeles welcome this last genial
downpour with gratitude, and see
In its abundance and timeliness
the guarantee of millions upon
millions of minted dollars TO the
credit side of their bank accounts.
1t has removed from the breasts
OF our people great dread, and
Inspired them with bueyant hope
and thankfulness. The critical
stage of the current year, from an
agricultural point of view, was
passed yesterday. and passed sue
cessfully.

rett, OF the Baltimore and Ohio,
and Col. Tom Scott, of the Penn
sylvania Central, and minor rail-
way magnates were participants,
was fight Of giants; and it ended,
as all such encounters do, in o
compact by which the people were
eaten up bodily. The first thing
all these leviathans do, who for
a time have been preying on each
other, is to turn round and eat up
the minnows and the larger small
fishes, until their craw is crammed
full. We are face to face, in the
United States just now, with the
proposition, as respects railways,
that an enduring competition
is impossible. When attempted,
for short time, the first thing
the big participants to the game
do Is to recoup themselves on the
public for their temporary losses.
1t is In view of these facts, which
can be readily substantiated in de.
tail, that we are glad that the
Southern Pacific Railway has OBJ.
tanned a practical control OF all
systems of railway transportation
that aim to minister to the needs
of the people Of Southern Califor-
MIA. Our chances for equitable
rates of freights and fares are in
finitely greater, in the long run,
under the new dispensation than
they would have been with three
or four transcontinental railways
streadling out to this Coast. 1t
was when New York and Chicago
had most railways that shipments
came to the former city by way OF
Boston and to the latter via Mil.
waukee, and when their CONNER
cial supremacy, at least as respects
the soil products of the United
States, was most seriously men,
aced. We would far rather take
our chances of good treatment
with but one transcontinentai
railway below the snow belt than
with three or four. 1t costs good
deal to maintain many transconti-
mental railways, and that cost has
to be made up. It is always made
up. on the people. They may be
cajoled for little while by the
specious pretence Of low freights
and fares; but, when the day for
combination or absorption comes,
they are out and ipjured-most
lamentably so indeed.
