terms. In the serene and happy conscious
ness that the path to San Francisco is lined
with baggage men and ticket agents as affable
and generous as those he encountered in this
city, the traveller steps aboard the train and
starts his journey. When he reaches
Council Bluffs and discovers himself on the
outskirts of civilization he also discovers the
monarch who asserts his right to collect ex-
ira money for baggage or who losses aside
articles which he declares go no further
except freight express goods This
monarch declares, in all truthfulness, that he
merely obeys the laws made for him by the
railroad officials of the Union and Central
Pacific railroads.
One incident will serve to show how easily
the traveller may find it difficult to proceed
without paying an extra assessment at Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Mr.. George l.. Brander, the vice
president of the Nevada bank of San Fran
cisco, the financial institution of the Bonan-
"a Kings, among whom ars John W. Mac
key James G. Flood and Senator James G.
Fair, had some experience with the baggage
monarch some time ago. MIR. Brander is
tall young Scotchman who was born and bred
in the banking business. He is we'll known
among financiers in this city and in San
Francisco. He is plain in manner and speech
and assumes to be nothing but matter-of-
fact business When taking his wife
and his childs nurse to San Francisco from
this city he purchased three f1rst.clas pas
sage tickets. In his baggage was child's
carriage, such as nurse girls roll through
Central Park 1t was small in size, light in
weight, and was made much smaller by being
taken apart, and not much heavier by being
placed in wooden frame. He had paid $26
for it and the cheerful baggageman at this
point promptly checked it through When
Mr.. Brander reached Council Bluffs the wag-
on pushed aside, and he was informed
that it could continue on its way only as
freight express goods. Inquiry revealed
the fact that if it should be sent as freight it
weeks after Mr.. Brander's arrival in that
charges would be $26 the cost of the car
rage There was no appeal from the bag
gage monarch's decision Mr.. Brander pro-
tested in vain that the carriage had been
checked through from New York. Finding
that the conduct of the baggageman here
might not be considered as proper at Council
Bluffs, MIR. Brander determined to abandon
the carriage. He had endeavored to persuade
the monarch that it was his duty to charge
extra baggage if the carriage weighed more
than the amount which he was entitled to
carry to San Francisco, but the monarch was
immovable. Then Mr.. Brander turned to
Council Blufian, presented the carriage to
him, and went on to California, where he
purchased another carriage fer his child.
Mr. Brander, on a recent visit to this city,
said that the Council Bluffs baggageman was,
perhaps, not at fault, but that the blame
should, very likely rest upon those in this
city who accepted the carriage as baggage
and checked it through. Those who con-
template a railroad tri to San Francisco will
do well to heed the experience gained by Mr..
Brander.

The Meridian miss Mercury is the most
bitter of all the Bourbon papers of thu State,
but it is just enough to speak good word
for the colored ex Senator Bruce. 1t says
Senator Bruce is the leading Republican of
the South, and is an ornament to his party
anywhere. His liberal and progressive po-
litical views recommend him to the attentive
consideration of his fellow citizens of both
races. He is a Mississippian of whom no
one need be ashamed. His canvass in this
State will be productive of great good in
giving healthier tone to the character of
the political feeling between the two great
parties of the day.
Miss Linda Gilbert, the philanthropist,
thinks she has discovered one of the causes
of malaria. She appeared recently before
the board of health of New York city, and
called their attention to prisons as breeders
of malaria. She said that she had discovered
parasitical malaria in the Tombs and other
prisons, and that most of the diseases puz-
cling to physicians are due to it. She had her
self, through visiting these places, become in
fected with this form of malaria, had suf
fered very greatly and still bore traces of the
malady. For the facts contained in her CON-
plant she referred to DIR. Marvin Sims and
DIR. w J. Hidden. The latter gentleman
had Investigated the disease and reported that
it spread among prisoners with alarming ra-
pidity. The malady was engendered by foul
air at night, acted upon by misapplied heat
ing apparatus, and the confined breathing
space-the cells being only four feet by six
feet. In support of her theory she claimed
that in towns where the blame for its exist
ence could not be charged upon soil, climate,
or the decomposition of decaying vegetable
matter, malaria yet existed if there was in
the town a prison. She wanted to have the
convicts and sturdy beggars colonized, not
turned loose again in crowded populations to
spread the contagion they brought with them
from their confinement.

Ahe owning hsou'
The London Times publishes several let
ters on the working of the divining rod. Mr..
L. Sherwood Smith, F. S. S., writing from
Bristol, says that some years ago he was car
rying on mining operations in Somersetshire
and had workman who professad the power
of using the 'twig" He tested him and
found that the twig certainly turned up
sharply between his hands, while in his own
it made no sign. On another occasion one of
Mr.. Smiths men was pointed out as pos
sessed of the power. number of hats
sre placed in a row, and under one of them
(known only to Mr. Smith and two scientific
friends with him) a number of copper coins.
The man was called in, and, by means of the
twig, identified the right hat. The expert
ment was several times repeated, and in most
cases with success. Lieutenant Colonel
Charles Cocks, in a letter written from Mon
treux, says that at Cannes and other places
on the Riviera certain Italians constantly
travel about the country for the purpose of
finding concealed springs to supply houses in
course of building. In-slfce of the usual
hazel twig in use ID Cornwall the Italians use
a twig of olive. When water is indicated the
loop gives slight jerks upward and eventually
slowly becomes upright and turns toward the
breast of the person operating. Colonel
Cocks gives an instance OF the successful
employment of the twig, and says that he
himself has often tried to trace a drain as a
mere matter of curiosity, with invariable
suCCoSS. lS HIS no Aoupt Whatever OF lGS
truth. On the other hand Mr.. T. X. Taplin,
of Milverton, Somersetshire, writing with
reference to some successful experiments
said to have been made with the twig in a
field near Westbury-sub Mendip, says that
| the field in question, though generally sur
face dry, had abundance of water below, and
| he has little doubt that the spring said to be
| tapped could have been tapped at any part of
| the field even in the adjoining field. The
men, no doubt knew very we'll that they
| were practising joke. The laboring men
| born and bred in any district, he adds, know
well the nature of the land and where water
| is to be obtained. Captain d. Bingham,
| writing from Paris, says that the Able Para.
melle who died four years ago, possessed the
power of finding water, and through it con-
| ferred great benefits in various parts of the
| country. He wrote book on 1.-THE Art of
Discovering Springs" in which he describes
the merits of the divining rod. The Able
| says the rod turns spontaneously in the hands
of certain individuals endowed with a tenn.
permanent of a nature to produce the effect.
| The movement is determined by fluids which
escape our perception, such as electricity,
magnetism, &c. The rod turns indifferently
| over places where there is not the least thread
of water as over those where water is found,
and, consequently, it cannot be depended
/ upon.
