A SOUND REASON.

The Petaluma Courier, in an article on
the bombardment of Alexandria, observes
1--WE have never liked the Egyptians
"since they prosecuted the Jews in the
days of Moses. and we trust the British
Twill knock smithereens out of them. u
This is sound scriptural reason for an in
ternational prejudice, and not whit less
rational than the majority of such senti-
ments. We are, however, somewhat NOR
titled by finding that our esteemed contem-
porary is to some extent influenced by less
loftily historical motives, for it concludes
its reflections upon the Egyptian situation
by the suggestion that if the war spreads
"until the whole Eastern horizon is
"ablaze," "Great Jerusalem how the
"price of wheat would jump" We are
compelled to admit that this is selfish.

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERIES

Valuable discoveries have been made and
valuable inventions suggested by the veri-

A poor musician was curious to know
whether music could not be etched upon
stone as well as upon copper. After he had

make memorandum of such clothes as he

Not having pen, ink and paper convenient,
he wrote the list on the stone, intending TO
make a copy Of it at leisure A few days
later. when about to clean the stone he
wondered what effect aqua FORTS would
have upon if. He applied the acid and in
few minutes saw the writing standing
out in full relief. The next step was simply
to ink the stone and take off an impress.

these alleged smallpox patients had been
several days at the pest house, it was found
that they had nothing the matter with
them, and that they and the boy were
thereupon discharged, though the Belgic
was compelled TO remsin in quarantine.
Now if these statements are capable of
demonstration they show that the Board
OF Health has committed an outrage of
the first class. For in that case this Board
has interiered most injutiously with the

Importance to San Francisco kept several
hundred healthy passengers in quarantine
for weeks without the least justification
and all because its redical officers were
so ignorant OF their profession as TO be in

here is the material for an investigation,
and whether or not the Board Of Health
holds one, the probability il that the
Courts will be called upon to do so. For
whatever rights the law has conferred
upon the Board of Health and the Quaran-
tine Officer, it cannot have authorized
them to quarantine a passenger ship hav

done such thing the presumption is that
they have made San Francisco liable for
heavy damages. Ii this strange case I'M
pels the authorities of that city to look
more carefully into the professional quAhf-
cations of the men who are employed to
examine incoming passengers for small
pox, perhaps the game may prove worth

and this suspicion is not likely to be al.

rapacity in regard to the vaccination

occasions has been more suggestive of the

position of a civilized and conscientious

A WARNING TO statesmen.

l. Probably the most disguised young
gentleman in New York is one connected
with large dry-goods store. This is
why:

naturally great stickler for fashion,

Ill. Accordingly she prepared for a
shopping campaign, and invited young
gentleman who knew the ropes to accom-.
psny her.
". This young gentleman went to a
friend in the shawl line and said to him
"Pm going to bring Mrs. - here to-
morrow to buy camel's hair. She won't
think it good one unless it costs her a
good deal OF money. You understand"
y. The salesman said he did, and went
to the head of the firm and said "There's
lady coming here to buy a camel's hair
shawl tomorrow, and l think l can sell
her one at high price, because she is a
parvenu, and won't appreciate it other
wise. How much Of margin can work
on, for / want to make something for my.
self? ?" "Well," said the boss, cts a
5000 shawl anything you can get above
$3.50 you can have"
vi. Next day, when Mrs. - called,
the salesman showed her the shawl.

her escort to the salesman as they went
out, "you didn't ask her enough"

her husband, he said My dear. Alder

VIII. Next day the lady called at the
other store and encountered salesman Of
more Napoleonic character. " This shawl

it can't have been good. l want a real

drew her out for a few moments and then
reflected that they had one shawl left that
they were going to send up to Mrs. Van
derbilt, and that perhaps it had not yet
left the store. SO he dispatched trusty
messenger to get it.
TX. The trusty messenger sped down
stairs and over to the rival establishment
and got the shawl, and the salesman asked
the lady 81. 100 for it, and abe took it at
once, saying that the pattern was very

THE ENGLISH HoP CRoP.-The English
hop crop is reported to be in an unsatisfac-
tory condition. The yards have, according
to one report, been visited with an at
tack of fly, so virulent and general that
there is reason to fear the destruction Of
the crop unless the parasites depart soon.
Small numbers had been seen fortnight
before, but last week they had arrived in
legions over the entire hop growing loca-
tion." Another paper says that "there is
no doubt that the hop plantations are now
in more critical state than they were at
this time in 1879, when the old duty did
not exceed ESQ 900. The market during
the past two weeks has been gradually
hardening and is now % Shillings above
