Hlnt+ About Eating.

Meat Of every kind should be cut across
the grain when served out for eating. While
the imbibing of certain amount Of wster is
necessary during meals, it is mistake to
drink too much fluid of any kind during di-
gestion, "for this dilutes the natural juices so
much that they lose their solvent power" and
indigestion is the consequence. 'Of the
sparkling wines of Germany, pure Moselle, "
DR.. Dobell tells US, "without muscated and
other artificial havoring, is the most whole.

should consider such wine preferable to cham
payne" He quotes other authorities besides
his own to prove that the Moselle wines are
"most valuable in cases of rheumatism, govt,
dropsy, stone, gravel, and in scorbutic and
blood diseases generally."-[L London Spec

A Straight Flush.



1t is not many years since the straight
flush" was introduced into the game of poker
and given the power to beat four aces. The
history of the development of the straight
flush" since the date Of its introduction affords
curious instance of the way in which nature
supplies every demand that is made upon her.
In 1856 straight flush" occurred once in
every I67, 900 hands, -four aces" occurring at
the same date once in every 9o27 hands. With
the demand for straight Pushes the trequen-
cy of their appearance increased until at the
time of the famous transit of Venus, when
scientific parties were sent out by our govern
ment to the end of the earth, the straight
fish," according to the excellent authority of
Prof. Hardness, of the Naval Observatory,
could be expected to appear once in every
e 600 hands-in round numbers. In very
able paper on poker, read at the meeting of
the American Scientific Association last
August, it was asserted that the straight
flush" had so greatly increased in frequency
thut it was commonly met once in every II47
hands, thus being very nearly as common as
four aces.

Angeleno Growth.

1t is written that he who once tastes
of the water of Trevi Fountain will re-
turn to Rome. Now, although to our
knowledge no similar saying as yet OBJ
tAins concerning any Angeleno fountain,
there certainly must be some latent vir-
tue iaherent in Los Angeles, which inn
p<ls those who have once visited the
CITY Of the Qaesn OF the Angels to re-
tusn hither. Many of the eNcursionists
who have been among MS recently have
8xpressed their intention OF returning at
an early date for the purpose OF living
with ms always, while many are mfu-
snced by descriptions written to them
by friends already settled here.
On the other hand many are deferred
from coming BY the lack of houses and fur
nishea holdings Our leading hotels have,
long since, bcen compelled to colon
ise Their guests IN buildings hired for
the purpose, while our busy real estate
agenfs are obliged TO disappoins would
be customers because there are no tene
mcnts vacant Every owner OF real
estate not occupied, and all Of our capi-
talists, should turn their attention TO
building, for '.the cry is still they
come, and We should be prepared for
the INVASION In this connection We
take the liberty OF suggesting that in the
heart of the city the construction OF
buildings of one story is anti-economieal,
as well as unbecoming to metropolitan
usages. Los Angeles ceased long ago
to be village, and to-day, with the
single exception OF Portland, Oregon, is
the only city on the coast exhibiting un-
equivocal signs of healthy and rapid
growth.

Mrs. HELEN Hunt JACKSON, of Den
yer, Colorado, better known as 'H H., "
who visited California for the purpose of
writing up the State, has expressed in
we understand, her disap-
pointment in not finding Los Angeles all
that she had been led to suppose. The
unfavorable opinion of Mrs. jackson is
to be regretted, but it does not seem to
interfere with the immigration from Den
yer. Very many estimable ladies and
gentlemen from that mountain Paradise
have cast their lot with us and more are
coming. They seem to consider that,
while Denver is pretty good place in
which to make money, there can be no
doubt of the fact as to Los Angeles be-
ing the place in which to enjoy it.

A Chinese Opinion.

We at length have Chinese opinion
of the anti Chinese bill; Mr.. Kwong Ki
Chin, late member of the Chinese Ed
ucational Commission in the United
States, has written letter on the sub
ject to the New York Herald. After
arguing that restrictive legislation CON-
ing so soon after the making of the
treaty between the two countries is an
evidence of bad faith on the part of the
American Government, he attempts to
defend the character of the immigration
to this country, and says, in conclusion,
that restriction is mere sop to western
clamor, and that not only American
commerce but the persons and property
of Americans in China will suffer if any
such bill become law.
The letter contains nothing new con.
cerning the question; the same stale,
stock arg ments are used with which
the country has become familiar argu-
ments which we of this coast know to
be SO unutterably ill-founded that the
marvel is how any sane man could de-
duce settled conviction therefrom,
save that they emanated from a mind
diseased The writer of the letter re-
sides in New England and so exact re-
production of the speeches of Hoar, Ed
munds, ct hoe genus omne, is the missive,
that one can very readily imagine it to
have been prompted by some Of these
gentlemen.

Now that the President has consent
ed to do tardy justice, to the extent of
his constitutional powers, to that honest
man and gallant patriot Fitz-John Por-
ter, it is only fitting that Congress
should complete the work by compli-
ance with General Porter's well founded
demand. For many years the nation
has been convinced that General Porter
was forced to accept the part of the ram
in the bushes; and, if partisan hatred
does not continue to produce moral
strabismus in Republican legislators, it
is probable that his character as an
American citizen and soldier will be
completely vindicated.

Now that the bodies of the unfortu-
nate Captain De Long and his men have
been found, and the officers and crew
of the Rodgers are in safety, there ex-
lists no further necessity for throwing
away human life in futile attempts to
reach the North Pole Every expedi-
ton sent thitherward has resulted in
failure, and, almost invariably in the
loss of valuable lives, while it is very
evident that no ship constructed by
man can reach the open water supposed
to exist about the pole. The plan of
making use of boats and sledges, and of
establishing depots Of supplies as the
expedition advances, will yet be found
10 be the only one practicable.

The Irish situation.

Following close upon the tardy JUS
tice done to the leaders and representa-
tives of the Home Rule party in Ireland
comes the tidings of the brutal assassi-
ntaion of Lord Cavendish' and Mr..
Burke. In the release of Mr. Parnell
and his companions the Gladstone adj
ministration virtually conceded the in
justice of the course hitherto pursued by
the British government, and it was
fondly hoped by both parties that the
''new departure" would, sooner or later,
end in the granting of self-government
to Ireland, while it was believed that
the era of outrage had drawn to close.
Nor can the struggle end but in one
way, but the murder of Saturday will
do much toward prolonging the final adj
justment of this all important question.
Naturally the Irish leaders Indignantly
express their horror of such deeds.
From the latest kilograms it would ap-
pear that there probably was delib-
crate plot to assassinate the two unfor-
tunate gentlemen, but the act was un-
doubtedly that of very few men-prob-
ably the four assassins only-banded to-
gether for that purpose. 1t was such an
act as that of Wilkes Booth and that of
Guiteau. Such, we are confident, will
be the view entertained by the govern
mental authorities; and, with the gov
ernment and the Home Rulers interest
ed in their capture, the murderers will,
no doubt, speedily be brought to justice

Boss Cameron.

Undeterred by the recent example OF
Boss Conkling, he of Pennsylvania seems
determined to rule or ruin in the Key
stone State also. Unlike the New York
er Boss Cameron is such by the grace of
God and holds the sceptre by hereditary
right. Hitherto he has not been guilty
of the supreme arrogance and unmitigat-
ed insolence of the late Senator from
New York-in these respects, indeed,
it might be an impossibility for any man
to become the peer of Roscoe Conkling
but he is now claiming prerogatives in
the manufacturing of "slates" which do
not tend to long lease of power.
In New York Mr.. Conkling was a
very powerful individual politically, and
Mr.. Cameron is, undoubtedly, politi-
cal athlete in the neighboring State. A

long time ago there was another very ro-
bust person called Samson, who ON a
certain occasion so exerted his great
strength as to accomplish the destruc-
ton of himself and all those in his inn
mediate neighborhood. The New York
boss has toppled over the already
crumbling Republican temple in New
York, and the boss of Pennsylvania now
has his arms entwined about the pillars
of the corresponding edifce in that
State, and it will shortly totter to its
fall. Under these ruins will lie en-
tombed all that remained of the Repub-
lican party in those two States.

A Glimpse at the Near Future of
Guaymas - New Industries Rail-
road News, etc.

R. r. Symon, the protector of the
Sonora and several other railroads, came
in from Altata on an English iron steam
er belonging to the 'Altata and Culia-
can Railroad" He stopped over a day
and left yesterday ON his way to New
York and England. He reports good
progress on that road. He also informs
us that, when the connection of the So
nora Railroad is complete, steamers will
ply between the harbor of Guaymas and
the trans-Pacific ports. We soon will
sell our lots in the Willard Extension by
the foot for price which we now hard
ly realize for meter, and we shall sell
them, too.
The branch firm of VIM. B. Hooper &
Co., with Carter Tevis as manager, are
starting a sash and planning mill and will
have attached to it an ice machine to
supply Guaymas, Hermosillo and Mag
dalena with frozen water; and likely
will ship to these markets our delicious
fish and oysters. Both will be pay

Several mining men have passed

inently among them were Messrs. Deides-
heimer, of San Francisco, and Humbert,
of New York. They have mining prop
erty in the northeast of this State, in
the neighborhood of Arispe, l believe.
They had jolly-yes roaring good
time-in Hermosillo and | was told were
quite lively here.
Much attention is now paid to copper
mines since the discovery, in one of
them, of copper glance and red oxyde of
copper of great richness and in fabulous
Sonora, | believe, will soon
outrank Arizona in the production of
copper, if the laws of the land are wise
ly applied to the development of this
industry, which would be greatly as
sisted by the early construction of the
projected railroad to the coal field of the
Yaqui river, where, also, the copper
mines are situated. According to the
opinion of Mr.. Symon the early con-
struction of the road is a matter of
course. Professor Garner formerly of
the Geological Survey of New York, is
on the way to the coal fields to make
geological survey, and no doubt will
find much more extensive field of coal
on the left side of the river than the one
known on the right banks. This has
been my opinion from the time of my
first visit to the fields. S.

The Murder OF Cavendish and
Burke AnnOunccd-The House
of Commons AdjOurns out Of
Respect.

LONDON, May Sth:--Every part of the
House OF Commons at the opening of
the session was crowded this afternoon.
At 4;20 Gladstone arose and with great
emotion and tremulous voice moved
the adjournment of the House. He said
the blackness of the crime and the hor-
ror it excited throughout the entire
kingdom were unparalleled. In the
murder of Burke, he said, they had
been robbed of one of the ablest and
most upright members of the civil serv-
ice. But the hand of the assassin had
come nearer home and one of the noblest
hearts had ceased beating while full of
hope and love for Ireland As far as
the government was concerned, all
previous arrangements must be re-cast.
Thursday next he (Gladstone) would ask
the House for leave to introduce ameas-
ure for the repression of crime in Ire
land. He believed he would be assisted
from all quarters of the House. On an
early day he would introduce measure
dealing with arrears of rent. Sir Stat
ford Northcote seconded the motion of
Gladstone for adjournment. He prom
ised that the opposition would support
the government in measures for the re-
preston of crime. He considered the oc-
casion too sad for more than a passing
tribute of respect to the deceased.
Forster ReappOinted for Ireland.
LONDON, May Sth.-It is declared that
Forster has been reappointed Chief Sec
retary for Ireland and that he will start
tonight for Dublin.
