NOTES.

Jan
The floods in the Mississippi continue though
to a de creased extent. In many districts, famine Is
imminent, the government aid bc ling slow as a
profuse quantity of req tape car make it.
The prospect is that there will be thirty-nine
States in the Union shortl' :, as the claims of
Washington Territory are being industriously
pushed, with every prospect of success, before
Congress-.
A canard is abroad to the effect that Brigham
Young is not dead that his funeral was a fraud,
and that he has concealed himself to figure be-
fore his credulous following in the of role a re-
surrected prophet.
Gossip at Washington awards the portfolio of
the Secretary of the Interior to Senator Teller.
M'Lean, Queen victoria's would-be assassin,
turns out to be a maniac of long standing, and a
graduate of several asylums.
A stuffed mammoth Is feet high, and 20 feet
long is on exhibition here, together with a num-
Der of other household pets eff the pre-Adamite
era. They belong to one Wand who offers to
sell his interesting collection for S1S. 900.
The friends of the Nicaragua Canal scheme
claim that it has a better prospect of success and
completion than either the Panama Canal, or
Ead's proposed ship railway.
A league of London shopmen insist on having
the duration of a laboring day reduced to nine
hours. They are bothering Parliament.
Oscar Wilde the aesthetic arrives here next
Sunday, and lectures on Monday night. More
of him anon.
A good, old fashioned snow blockade at Reno
and blue Canyon is bothering the overland trav-
oilers.
Interested parties are unearthing the war re-
cord of General ROsecrans, member of Congress
from this State and a hot controversy concerning
his cowardice is busying the New York and
Washington Press, and ROsecrans himself. One
outcome of it is an endeavor to prove that Gen
eral Garfield stultifed himself and told false
hoods in the matter. As the revered dead is not
here to answer, the ghoulish effort has aroused
national indignation.
The revenue cutter Corwin has just been sent
out to intercept the China steamer Toxic, to take
temporary possession in the lame of the Z. S.
and search her for opium. Ever since the acct
dental seizure of S26, 900 worth Of the drug, by
two policemen, in a boat near the Mail Dock,
some two months since, the Federal authorities
have been investigating, and it is believed that
an extensive ring of smugglers, backed by large
capital will be shown up.
Robertson the Collector of the port of New
York, whose appointment caused the Garfield
Conkling row, is hastily tangled up in the Peru
Wan scheme, as is Senator Blair of Vermont,
Henry Wadsworth LongfeIlow, the famous
poet and lterateur died at Boston to-day, at the

Is the particularly bewailed misfortune of the
shop keeping fraternity of San Francisco just
now. The last Legislature, responsive TO the
sentimental request Of a clique Of religious en-
thusiasts, passed a law making it a misdemeanor
to keep any place of business open on the Sab
bath, a few necessary exceptions being made.
That the Legislature should ever have passed so
Christian-like a law is explained only by the fact
that they were too busy in pocketing unlawful
monies to notice this stain on their immoral es-
cutcheons. However that may be, the law was
passed and the Supreme Court, by Il decision in
a late case, has held that it is a good and valid
law. Since last Sunday five hundred and eighty
three v~iolators of the law have been arrested, and
the cry is still they come. The Chief OF Police
and the Mayor are determined to vigorously en-
force the law, and the cases already on hand are

ADELINA PATTI,

The sweetest voiced creature of the century,
has not scored the uccess IN this country that
she and her managers anticipated. In fact, the
policy of having one star, and a company of no.
bodies and OF charging five and eight dollars per
seat for such an attraction has alienated both the
affections and the enthusiasm of the public.
PATHS new policy, or that of her manager, Alb
hey is now to sing in the largest halls possible,
the public being admitted to the number of TO-
900 or 20, 900 at a dollar per head. 1t is believed
that by this plan a harvest may be reaped, and
it is time, as every body wishes to hear and see
Patti just once, and is willing to pay a dollar for
the privilege. Speaking of music, we have had
a surfeit of riches here of late in the presence of
Marie Gerstinger, the queen of German opera
bouffe singers, backed by the Thalia Comedy
Company of New York, and also Friedrich Haase,
the leader of the German dramatic stage, who
was brought here through the enterprise of that
most popular manager Madam Gence. Haase
has given a round of magnificent characters to
crowded houses, and is certainly the finest actor
of any language that this coast ever saw.
Emperor Williams birthday was celebrated in
grand style at Berlin, day before yesterday. A
great crowd assembled unter den Linden and
cheered His Majesty on the balcony. COngratu-
lations from his people and the foreign powers
occupied the entire day. The old gentleman fell
down and bruised his knee badly some days
since, but was not seriously hurt.
The captain and mates of the Am. ship Gatherer
are under arrest and investigation in the U. S.
Courts here. On the voyage from Queenstown
to this port the most horrible cruelties were prac-
ticed on the crew, some of them being indescrib-
ably revolving. One man jumped overheard from
pain, fear, and fright, and another died from the
effects of brutality. The affair has created some
thing of a sensation, and the usual spasmodic re-
action in favor of seamen is ut present under
way. The brutalitles were so horrible, so appar-
emily causeless that the public indignation is
great.

Mr.. Thomas for many years. and APP
preciate his gentlemanly qualities and

no mean order. In spite. however,
of my genuine and unfeigned regard
for the latter gentleman, cannot
but think, that be has blundered, in
throwing himself into the crusade
against inspections. or, more properly
in assigning his reasons for the course
he has seen fit to pursue. All human
laws and systems are more or less
handicapped by imperfestions. and men
will complain and find fault, even
with the edicts Of the Most High. A
very great man Of antiquity was ques-
toned as to his idea Of the best form
of government. looking to the good
and happiness Of the subjects, and his
reply was. ''that IS the best form Of
government. which is best admins
tered" All law, divine or human,
depends. in its execution, mainly upon
human agency. and as that agency is
imperfect. is work does not come up
to the standard Of perfection. Nor
is the law requiring the inspection Of
tobacco raised and packed in this
State. free from blemishes. and its ex-
ecution entirely and uniformly well

Thomas. and 6nd cut whether what

The Long Deferred Report of the Senate
Investigating Committee at Last
Filed with the
Secretary of Siafe-The Result Substan.
IIaIIy the Same that Heretofore
Given By tie Press.

LITTLE Rock, Nav 20.-The long deferred
report of the Senate Investigating Committee
on State-Treasurer NOW Governor) Church
ills accounts, and those of present State-A1-
ditor Crawford, both running through three
terms of two years each, " as filed with the Sec
rotary OF state late this afternoon. Tine COM
mittee has been at work since March, 1881,
and the investigation has been looked for
with great interest. In their labors the COM
m ittee reported the accounts az shown by
entries on the books. Their finding is that
Ex-Treasurer Churchili's books fail to bal
ance by S139, 400, from which he is entitled
to credit for S24, 300 for scrip turned over to
Treasurer Woodruff, but not credited TO
Churhill on the books. OF the total deficit
nearly all belongs to the account of scrips,
which Churchill and the clerks in the Office
assert was burned according TO law, though
the books do not show the proper entries.
Governor Churchill and mis- bondsmen ex-
press confidence that when the matter is
brought into court this will be shown. He
personally paid but little attention to the
Office, which was managed unsystematically,
and the developments have not shaken pub
lie confidence in his personal integrity.
Slste-Auditor Crawford granted guietus
to delinquent tax-collectors who compro-
missed debts unlawfully, and collected
fees and taxes from insurance companies,
making total of S16,70O, which payments
the past couple of days reduced to S1O,-
600. These were his own actions. Craw-
ford is announced for reelection, but it is
understood has retired since these facts came
out. He and his friends are making up the
deficit, and it is stated by Governor
Churchill's friends that if legal investi-
CATION shows that the State has lost any
money by the treasurer the amount will be
promptly paid. The Encouragement will

work, whatever work it chooses to do, and
to keep the mind in the most important
channels and in a consistent course. Nature
undoubtedly intended that, while there
should be a substratum of similarity between
and underneath the knowledge OF all men,
there should also be peculiarly that should
distinguish the mental requirements of each
one Of Us, and that each of US should sup
plement the knowledge of all the rest of his
fellows with his own, 80 that the COM
bined judgment of a mass of men should be
almost perfect. Examinations compel
number Of minds, each by nature endowed
with its own popularity, to learn what the
teacher prescribes, and to learn q vast mass
of uninteresting knowledge merely to pro-
vide for whatever the examination may ask
In regard to the primary subjects which all
men should alike know, examinations may
serve a most useful purpose; but after the
rudiments have been learned, examinations
are usually useless and harmful. 1t is the
wasteful result of our present system of edu-
cation which appears in the relatively
greater quickness with which = man, with
ordinary good judgment in the choice OF his
studies, can gain an education out of college
than in. The knowledge that has to be
gained by mere repetition under the spur OF
fear of examination, but without the help OF
interest, is seldom remembered long alter
the examination, and the labor which has
been devoted to drilling that knowledge into
the consciousness is lost and wasted"

A PRoSUNcIA8IEETo BY GENERzL DON CEs-
AREO GUILLERM0.

HAVANA, May 19.-The HeTdEd's CORE
spondent writes that the general of division
in the national army and ex-president OF the
Dominican Republic, Don Cssareo Gull
lermo, has issued a revolutionary manifesto
addressed to his fellow citizens, The docu-
ment itself does not show where it was pro
mulgated, and its date can only be presumed
from the fact that it bears he-impress OF
April, 1882. General Guillermo claims to
have been urgently called upon by many
men best known in the national political
parties of the country to place himself at
the head OF the revolution, which he at once
initiated in the Eastern province. In conse-
quence of the evils imposed upon the nation
through the dictatorship of Marine, which
commenced in June, 1881, General Guillermo
considers himself justified in the course he
has taken, and also in deciding upon form
ing expedition to open the campaign
The general refers back to the trump
which placed the present government
in power, and says that if it were
possible for him to blot from the
pages of history all the abominable acts
/ which have happened since those triumphs,
he would efface them at the cost of his life
The manifesto goes on in a strain of fierce
denunciation against the obnoxious govern
ment which is the object of General CUTLER
, mos wrath. He is not, however, explicit in
naming the particular act of misgovernment
that might justify revolution. He is no
doubt brave soldier, for his paper SAYS for
him: "An Dominicsnsl Here you have
my sword and my lifel Here / am, disposed
to shed, even to the last drop, my blood, to
be the first in danger and the last after vic
toryl Therefore study my wordsl Long
