CuRIousuY DEfoRMED HoEsE.-Tt

Chico Record Of August 10th says
Yesterday, at the Fashion Stables,
crowds of people gathered to see rare
monstrosity that had been placed on ex-
hibition by Hercules Yermet, Of the A.
B. Collins ranch. The curiosity was de-
formed horse, three years of age. The ami
nal is of a magnificent build, having beau
tifully formed limbs and a rich brown
color, its defect being in the neck, which
has only grown six inches in length. This
brings the animals head down on a range
with it's knees. It cannot raise its head,
it being necessary to place its feed on
the ground, and when 1t eats, one Of its
forelegs is nearly straight out in front Of it,
and the other is extended backward. Mr..

from rentals Of public LANDS and other

The taxes, which are levied under various
names, may be elassed into two general
divisions and extraordinary rev.
| euues. The former comprises incomes from
| the rent Of public domains, railway traffic,
| telegraph service, etc. To the latter class
belong customs duties, postal receipts, in

may arise is provided for through direct
income tax on all subjects, the amount Of
which is determined by each Riksdag.
The budget for 1882 shows that out of the
necessary 5000, 600 crowns 81, 500, 900

Musical Fish.

Lieut.. John White says that on his voy-
age to China, when his ship was anchored
at the mouth Of the river Camboya. the
sailors were much astonished at the sounds
that issued from the water, resembling the
bass Of an organ mingled with the tones on
a bell, the croaking of an enormous frog
and the clang of an immense harp. These
sounds swelled into a general chorus on
both sides of the ship, and were attributed
by the interpreter to a school OF fish. A
similar occurrence in the South Sea was
described by Baron Humboldt The sailors
were greatly terrified at about o'clock in
the evening by an extraordinary noise in
the air, like the beating of tambourines,
followed by sounds which resembled the
escape of air from boiling liquid. At
o'clock these strange sounds, which, it
was Judged, proceeded from a school of
seioenoides, ceased. The giZzard shad,
known scientifically as the lorosome,
utters adistinct, yibratory, whining sound.
The mullet utters a distinct note, often
quite prolonged, and accompanied by a
discharge Of air-bubbles.

SAN FRANCIsCo,s PERIL.
The Recent Yellow Fever Cases Expose
Very Lax Quarantine Laws.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Surgeon Van
Zandt, of the United States Marine Hos
pital at San Francisco, has sent an official
report to the Surgeon General in reference
to the two recent cases of yellow fever in
the hospital. The Surgeon says that the
two seamen were admitted at the request
of the German and Danish Consuls. Their
case was misrepresented to the Assistant
Surgeon on duty by an officer or agent of
the Consulate at the time the application
for them was made, it being asserted they
had no contagious disease, nor had they
been exposed to any infection. The morn
ing following their admission the patients
said that they had been passengers
aboard the Pacific Mail Steam
ship COlima, from MaZatlan,
where yellow fever was prevailing, and
they had the disease. The patients say
that all the ships company, during their
stay at MaZatlan, were sick with yellow
fever except one man. Surgeon Van
Zandt says that the steamer COlima,
when she arrived at San Francisco, was
allowed by the local health authorities to
go into the dock and begin discharging
without any attempt at disinfection. So
far as can be learned the authorities, the
Surgeon notes, seem to be of the opinion
that yellow fever will not and cannot
prevail as an epidemic at that port, and
that all quarantine regulations against it
are useless. "Such state of affairs" he
says, 81 don't think exists at any other
large port in the country"
In the case of the steamer San Bias, of
the same line, which arrived some weeks
ago with yellow fever on board, the Sur
geon says that he gave instructions to de-
cline to give permits to the seamen from
that vessel because of the local law which
forbade them passing through the city
while suffering from contagious diseases.
Notwithstanding his precaution, the Sur
geon General says that seamen were al
lowed by the local authorities of San
Francisco to land in the city, where one
at least has died and where others are
still sick.

Ell NfAHDPs ACHIEVEMENTS.
Algeria Filled with his EmissarIes and
an Uprising Feared

PARIS, Nov. 2S.-Advices from Algeria
state that there is great agitation among
the native tribes, the reported success
OF Ell Mahdi in the Soudan having aroused
the Mussulman fanatics. 1t is also said
that Ell MahdPs emissaries are traversing
Tunis. The Governor General is urging
upon the French Government the neces-
sity of retaining a strong military force
in Algeria.
LONDON, Nov. 2S.-A Cairo dispatch
dated to-day says that the report of the
capture of KhartOum by Ell Mahdps forces
is unfounded.
The difficulty in persuadIng the Turkish
officers of the contingent ordered for SER
wee In the Sooudan to accompany the ex-
pedition has been overcome, and. almost
the entire number have consented to Join
the expedition, which is under the COM
mand OF Baker Pasha. All the English

volunteered to go to the front, and much
enthusiasm prevails among the troops.

A LOVER LOST KISS.
An Austrian Romance in which a Count
Figured as SuitOr.

A@"S1feNftgcs
An Austrian nobleman. one of the hand
soonest and most accomplished Young men
III Vienna, was passionately in love with
young girl of almost peerless beauty.
She was the daughter of man of great
rank and influence at court, and on these
considerations, as we'll as in regard to her
charms, she was followed by a multitude
of suitors. She was lovely and amiable,
and treated them with an affabiIity which
still Kept them IN her train, although it
was generally known that she had ayowed
a prediction for the Count, and that
preparations were making for their nup
tials. The Count was of refined mind
and delicate sensibllity; he loved her for
herself alone-fOr the virtues which he
believed dwelt in beautiful form. Like
lover OF such perfections, he approached
her with timidity, and when he touched
her fire shot through his veins that
warned him not to invade the sanctuary
OF her lips. Such were his feelings when
one night at the house of his intended
father-ln-law party of young people were
met to celebrate certain festival. Several
OF the young lady's rejected suitOrs were
present. FOrfelts were one of the past
times, and all went on with the greatest
merrlment till the Count was commanded
by some one to redeem his glove by
saluting the cheek of his intended
Drlde. The Count blushed, trembled, ad-
vanced to his mistress, retreated, advanc-
ed again, and at last, with a tremor that
shook every fiber of his frame. with a
modest grace he put to his lips the soft
ringlet that played upon her cheek. and
in evident confusion retired to demand his
redeemed pledge. His mistress gavlv
smiled, and the game went on. One of her
rejected suitors, who was of merry. I'M
thinking disposition, was adjudged by the
same lndiscreet crier of forfeits. sas his
last treat before he hanged himself'' to
snatch kiss from the object of his
recent vows. A lively contest ensued be-
tween the lady and gentleman-it lasted
for minute-when the lady yielded,
though in the midst of a eonvulsive laugh;
and the Count had the modification, the
agony, to see the lips which his delicate
love would not allow him to touch, kissed
with roughness and repetition by another
man, and one whom he despised. With
out word he rose from his chair, left the
room and the house, and by that good
natured kiss the fair boast of Vienna lost
her lover. The Count never saw her
more.

His Annual swear-On.

A distinguished physician, whose habit
is to smoke five or six cigars every even
ing, but none at all during the day, has
long pursued the plan of not smoking at
all during the month of October. His
idea is, he says to allow his system to
recuperate thirty days annually. The
effect OF tobacco, in his case, is a slight
acceleration of the movement of the heart.
This acceleration becomes clearly defined
by the end of every September, but ceases
entirely at the beginning of November,
after this period of abstinence, leaving
him in good condition for another years
