AN ATTACK FRom1lSor1-RR D1REcrIo Oh.

The city of Sacramento and its officials
have been subjected to almost every conceiv-
able form of action st the instance of the
bondholdsrs and their agents, and Saturday
another line of attack was made, which has
not hitherto been presented by any Of the
numerous suits. The pspers were placed in
the hands of City Attorney Anderson. This
last approach upon the city's revenues and
resources is in the form of petition of one
Max Hausmeister against james n. Porter,
City Treasurer, addressed to the Superior
Court Of this county, praying for writ of
mandate 20 c]mpal the Treasurer to appor-
ton the entire revenue, taxes, harbor dues,
fiass water rentH etc, amounting to S209.-
000 for the year 1883 so that 50 per cent. Of
said amount shall 60 into the sinking and in
terest fund, for the benefit CT the bondholti-
ers. This action is based upon the Act of
1853, under which the bonds were issued.
Tne line of defense will be, in most partic-
ulars, the same as that invoked in the other
mandamus cases. Tbs plaintiff in this case
is the same who applied to the Supreme
Court last May for q writ against James n.
Porter, Treasurer, to compel him to pay his
coupons, and which was dismissed by the Su-
preme Court few weeks ago on the motion
OI tl5 lily Attorney t-Lu . Jugs h1Chuurs On
the ground that no proper showing had been
made to give that Court Jurisdiction of the
SUI ject matter. Il seems that the bondhold-
ers propose to compass the city from ev.
cry point snd avenue of approach. There
are suits in the Superior Courts Of
several counties, actions and proceedings
for mandate in the Supreme Court
involving all manner Of legal and equitable
prop 9sitions also three actions in the Cir
cui5 Court of the United States, one of
which has been tried and submitted, and
upon which a judgment ia daily expected.
Now comes this last application agsinst the
City Treasurer to compel him to spportion
55 per cent of the entire revenue into the
sinking and interest fund. Should the writ
be granted it would entirely destroy the FIRE
department fund, police fund, school fund
and all osher special funds. In other words,
it Is proposed to take 55 per cent. Of these
special taxes and give it to the bondh holders.
The petition above referred TO was presented
TO Judge mcfarland, who issued an order
based upon the petition, for the defendant to
appear September II, 1883, to show cause
why the writ should not be issued aa prayed

I.nsr NJ Hair

In au article recently contributed
to the Gesundheit-a paper, as its
( name imports, devoted to sanitary
suhjects-Professor Reclaim, Ger
man Gelehrter, makes some timely
and useful observations on the sub
! Ject of badness. After describing in
vein of pleasantly, the vast array of
bare polls which may be seen any
evening in the pit of theatre or the
body of a lecture room, he discusses
the causes of badness. He does not
think, as it is sometimes said, that loss
of hair is the result either of impaired
health or of much study. The strong
est men are often bareheaded, and
German professors, who are nothing if
not studious, are distinguished above
all men by the profusion of their
locks.S1A On the other hand.
soldiers and postillionS who
wear heavy hemletS and leather
caps, and wear them a good deal. are
frequently las bald as billiard balls.
From these facts Herr Reclaim draws
the conclusion that badness is due
chiefly to the artificial determination
of blood to the head, and to the heat
and perspiration thence arising. The
result is relaxed condition of the
scalp and loss of hair. If the skin of
the head be kept in healthy state.
contends the professor. the hair will
not fall off. To keep it healthy. the
head-covering should be light and
porous, the head kept clean by wash
ings with water, and the hair cut
short. Cleanliness and cold water are
the sole Trustworthy specifics; but
when once the hair roots are DESTROYED.
not all the oil of MacaSsar, the bears
grease of Siberia, nor the cantharides
of Spain will WOO back the vanished
locks.

The Remedies of Nature.

In paper on "The Remedies OF
Nature" in the Popular Science
Monthly, DR. Felix L. Oswald con-
veys some very sensible suggestions
on the habitual sins committed by
the human family against nature. He
says that "before our ancestors colon
lied the colder ATTITUDES of this planet,
the equatorial regions had for ages
been inhabited by men OF man-like
fouT-handers. The influence of this
long abode in the tropics still asserts
itself in many peculiarities of our
constitution. We are but half accli-
matized. Woive are Weather-proof;
bears and badgers have managed to
inure thems Ives TO the miasma of
their winter dens; but the primates of
the animal kingdom can neither en-
dure cold or breathe impure air with
impunityy and Of most of our civil
lied fellow-men, as well as OF sayages
and all the species of Our four-handed
relatives who have thus far been
Wintered in northern menageries,
it may be said that the sensitive
ness of their lungs contrasts
strangely with the tough vigor of
their digestive organs. In proportion
to his size, rhesQs bah0on eats more
than wolf; between morning and
night a monkey will deyour his
own weight in bananas. and, where
the cravings OF naturally vigorous
stomach are increased by the stimulus
of cold climate, it seems almost i'm
possible to surfeit Il savage with
palatable food; his appetite is the
faithful exponent Of his peptic capac-
ity, and before the fauces positively
refuse to INCEST there is little danger
that the gastric apparatus will fail to
digest. Manifold and enormous must
have been OR sins against the dietary
code of nature before we could sue
coed in making digestion chronic
disease. But" he continues, their
descendants finally solved the problem.
To the alcoholic stimulants of the an
clients we have added tea, coffee, to-
bacco, absinthe, chloral, opium and
pungent spices. Every year in
creases the number Of our elabor-
ately unwholesome made dishes, and
decreases our devotion to the field
sports that helped our forefathers to
digest their boar-steakS. We have no
time to masticate our food, we bolt
it, and grumble if we cannot bolt it
smoking hot. The competition of our
domestic a d public kitchen tempts us
to eat three full meals a day, and two
of them at time when the exigen-
cies of our business routine leave US
no leisure for digestion. At night,
when the opportunity for that leisure
arrives, we counterfeit the efforts of
tie digestive apparatus by hot stove
fires and sitting bedrooms. Since the
beginning of the commercial epicu-
rean age of the ninteenth century the
votaries of fashion have persistently

How Luther Became a Monk,

Returning to Erfurt, in the summer
OF 1905, from a visit to his family at
| Mansfield, Luther was oyertaken by
storm. The lightning struck the
ground before his feet; he fell from
his horse. "Holy AIMEE: he cried to
the mother of the Virgin, "help me; |
will become a monk" Next dav at
Erfurt he repented of his VOW, for he
knew how it would grieve his father;
but his life had been spared; he be-
lieved that the VOW had been heard
| and registered in heaven; and with
out waiting for his resolution to be
shaken, he sought and found admit

had been so brilliant that the old
Hans had formed the brightest hopes
for him. He was bitterly disappoint-

and monkdom than his son. He con-
sented, with sore heart, perhaps,
hoping that q years experience
and the discipline of the noyi-
tiate would cure momentary. folly.
The AuguStinianS owned no property:
they lived on aims, and the Young
Martin, to break his pride, was set to

was sent about the town to beg. Lu-

The Power Of Music.

The following pleasing anecdOte OF
the power of music is related by the
celebrated Hayden: I'm my early
youth" says he, ~ went, with some
other young people equally devoid of
care, one morning during the extreme
heat of summer, to seek for GOODNESS
and fresh air on one of the lofty
mountains which surround the Lago
Maggiore Ill IOmbardy. Having
reached the middle of the ascent by
daybreak, we stopped to contemplate
the Borromean Isles, which were dis
played under our feet in the middle of
the lake, when we We're surrounded
by large flock of sheep, which were
leaving their fold to go to pasture.

see whether Virgil's sheep will recog-
nize their PASTOR He hogan to play.
The sheep and goats, which were fol-
lowing one another toward the noun
tain with their heads hanging down,
raised them with the first sound of
the flute, and all, with general and
hasty movement. turned to the side
from which the agreeable noise pro-
ceeded. They gradually f1ocked around
the musician. and listened with atten-
ton. He ceased playing, and the
sheep did not stir,
The shepherd with his staff now
obliged them TO move on, but no
sooner did the fiuter begin again than
his innocent auditors again returned
to him. The shepherd, out of pa
tience, pelted them with clods of
earth; but not one Of them would
move. The fluter played with addi-
tional skill; the shepherd few into
passion, whistled, scolded, and pelted
the poor creatures with stones. Such
as were hit by them began TO march,
but the Others still refused TO stir. At
last. the shepherd was forced to en-
treat our Orpheus to stop the magic
sounds; the sheep then moved off,
but continued to stop at a distance, as
often as our friend resumed the agree
able instrument.
"The tune he played was nothing
more than d fayorite air as the time
in Milan. We were delighted with
our adventure; we reasoned upon it
the whole dag, and concluded that
physical pleasure is the basis of all in
terest in music"

Some of Martin Luther's Teachings.

Apropos of the Luther celebration,
it is interesting to remember some of
the Qtterances of the great reformer
on what were questions of the day in
the sixteenth century and are equally
so in the nineteenth. On Sabbatari-
anism, for instance, he thus delivered
himself: LAS for the Sabbath, or Sum-
day, there is no necessity for its OBJ
servance; and if we keep it the reason
ought to be, not because Moses COM
manded it, but because nature like
wise teaches us TO give ourselves from
time to time a days rest, that man
and beast may recruit their strength,
and that we may go and hear the
word of God preached"
On another question, about which
the world has long made up its mind,
but concerning which the churches
have not said their last word, Luther
is on the side of liberty. a particu-
lar case having been submitted to
him. he said he had no fault to find
with a certain Schoolmaster who had
allowed his boys to play one of Ter
rence's comedies. After elumerating
several aspects In which he regarded
theatrical representations as useful,
he added: "If we keep away from the
theatres because the pieces acted often
turn upon love, we must, on the same
plan, refuse to read the Bible" On
Malthusianism, by anticipation, he
expresses himself in such sentence
as the following: "TO rise betimes
and to marry young are what no man
ever rapents of doing" Again, at is
no more possible to do without wife
than it is to dispense with eating and
drinking"
AS curious dictum of Luther's as
any is contained in his answer to one

The Necessity of Cremating fellow
Eerar CnYnses

One of the most horrible discoveries
of modern science Is surely that OF
DR.. Domingo Freire of Rio de Janeiro
That city has been seriously afflicted
with yellow fever, and DR.. Friere, in
his inquiries into the causes of the
epidemic, came upon the dreadful
fact that the soil of the cemeteries in
which the victims of the outbreak
were buried, was positively alive with
microblan organisms exactly Identical
with those found in the Yomitings.
blood, etc, Of those who had died in
the hospitals of yellow fever. From
foot under ground he gathered
sample of the earth everything the re-
mains of a person who had been
buried a year before; and though it
showed nothing remarkable in APP
pearance or smell, it was found, under
the microscope, to be thickly charged
with these abOminable disease germs.
Many of the organisms were making
spontaneous movements. In fact,
therefore, the cemeteries are so MANY
nurseries OF yellow fever; for every
year the rain washes the soil and the
fever seed with which it is so closely
SoWn into the water courses, and dis
tributes them over the town and
neighborhOod.
Says the doctor: III each corpse is
the bearer of millions and millions of
organisms that are specifics of ill, i'm
aglne what cemetery must be in
which new foci are forming around
each body. In the silence of death
these worlds Of organisms, invisible
to the unassisted eye, are laboring
necessarily and unperceived to fill
more graves with more bodies des-
tined for their food and for the fatal
preparation of their species" How
terribly fatal these organisms are, in
deed, may be understood from the
fact that the blood of a yellow fever
patient injected into a rabbit killed
the animal in half an hour. that the
rabbits blood injected into guinea
pig killed it, and that the guinea pigs
blood injected into another rabbit
killed it also, so that the chain of de-
struction may apparently be endless,
for each victim on post norton exam
ination was found to have all its blood
swarming with malignant germs.
Surely the cremation of all yellow
fever corpses becomes, in the light of
DR.. Freire'S discovery, a public neces-
sity.-St. James Gazette.
