fects in their appearance, and can

Tracings of the pulse, says the
Lancet, made after a person has
smoked a dozen cigarettes, will
usually indicate more depression
than pulse tracings taken after CT
gar smoking. The physiological
effects of smoking cigarettes are
pronounced more injurious than
those produced by smoking either
cigars OF pipes. Especially are
they noticeable in young men not
yet grown up.
Careful experiments have proved
that corn which is hilled will blow
down more readily than that
which has level culture. This
can be accounted for by the fact
that corn roots run very near the
surface, and when hills are made
they are confined to the small
space covered by the hill, while in
level culture the roots run from
one row to another, thus enabling
the corn to sta nd strong, as nature
intended, and in no way liable to
be blown down except by winds Of
unusual violence.

INTERVIEWING PHIL. SHERIDAN
But II Was Not the General, but Travel

When the Journals railroad reporter came
into the room of the city editor last night with
the information that "Phil. Sheridan has en-
gagged sleeping berth for st. Louis tonight" it
had an electrical effect. The city editor imme-
diately craweled out of hia hding-place in the
waste-basket and detailed the reporter with
the largest ears to interview the aforesaid
Sheridan by all means, fair or foul "Ask him
anything-about the crops-anythlng; but inter
view him." was the wild order. The reporter
wandered out in the darkness of the night wish
ing that Phil. Sheridan Thousand miles

was turned in the opposite direction.

A distressing accident occurred in Indianola
about O'clock yesterday afternoon. Some men
were engaged in tearing down an old house, and
Mrs. Emma Simpson and her children were en-
gagged in picking up small pieces for kindling
purposes. She was warned not to go too near
The building, but paid little attention to the
matter, and when it fell, she was directly under
the roof and was buried by the falling timbers,
A large beam struck her on the lower part of her
face, crushing her jaw and probably breaking
her neck, as death was almost instantaneous.
She was twenty-nine years old and divorced
from her husband. She leaves two small chill
dren. Flanner & HommOwn took charge of the
body and VIII bury it.

Lena Behrring, young German girl, who was
employed as domestic, attempted to hasten
the burning of the kitchen fire by the use of

joining house, and, with blankets and two buck
cts OF water, extiD guished the flames. AS she
was thought TO be dead, Flanner & Hammown's

tectiug signs of life, caused her removal to st.
Vineents Hospital, where she fingered in great
agony until 2 O'Clock, when death relieved her
from further suffering. She was TWENTY-FIVE

"Died, yesterday, Luther Kurtz Hammer, aged
81 years. This short sentence closes the life record
of L. X. Hammer, who for many years has been one
of Sacramento's prominent business men. The de-
ceased a native of Hagerstown, Maryland, where
the days Of his boyhood were passed, and where he
rec lived a fair educ ton in the common schools
At early age lie left the parental roof choose
means Of livelihood, ard, entering the store Of a
matchmaker ana jeweler, by diligence and perse-
yermce became il few years proficient at his
trade. The earlier days Of his business life were
spent in Mansfield Ohio where several members OF
his fathers family still reside. In lS49 he came to
California, and settled in Jackson AmadoT county,
where he pursued his chosen vocation until 1854,
when he came to this city. On coming to Sacrl =
mento he engaged in the sale of musical instrr-
ments and from the first was successful and pros
porous In later years he owned and conducted a
similar business in San Francisco. Throughout the
coast he was known as one Of the most prominent
dealers in musical merchandise.
In his business dealings Mr.. Hammer was prompt,
reliable aud conscientious. In his relations with the
public, in whstever position he was placed, he was
answering in his adherence to duty, and bore the
enviab e distinction Of an upright hon rable man.
The universal remark Of his fellCw-citzens at the
announcement Of his death was "a good man has
gone an ep.taph than which none could wish for
a better.
In his social relations Mr. Hammer was retiring,
genial and kind hearted liberal without being
ostentatiOus, and generous TO a fault. By cheerful
words and acts of kindness he many intimate
friends who will feel the separation most keenly In
his domestic relations he was ever recognized as a
kind husband snd affeationate and indulgent
father he leaves a widow, son, brother and SIX
sisters who have in their bereave ment the heartfelt
sympathies of large circle of friends.
Attentive to his duties through useful life, faith.

Tomato to his family patient and resigned through

a RAILROAD DRIVEN OUT OF BUSINESS
"A little knowledge has ever been dan
gerous thing, and in no instance is this old
proverb more aptly illustrated than in the
case of Railroad Commissioners all over
the continent. We do not know whether,
as in California, they are elected by the
people, though this is so presumably. But
there are two sides to the question of regu-
lating freights and fares, and, while there
is danger to the people from excessive rates,
there is also danger to corporations from
Railroad Commissioners by their cutting
down rates so that it is impossible to run
road. The RdiiiCdY ReCielC, of November
10Th, tells US that the South Carolina
Railroad Commissioners, like those of K IAN
sas and some other States, have allowed
their zeal to oUtrun their discretion. The
Barnwell Railroad, a nine.mile branch of
the South Carolina road, has been driven
out OF business by the reduction in rates
imposed upon it. The new rates, it is
claimed, would not pay more than one
tenth the operating expenses, and hence
operation has been discontinued. This
abuse of power, amounting to virtual con-
fscation of property. has left the town Of
Barnwell without railroad facilities, and
the citizens are intensely indignant, as
matter of course. They have set up king
in the shape of Railway Commission, and
now rebel at his rule" It may be said that
nine-mile road is only small affair, but
running it out of business means clog to
commerce, an inconvenience to all inhabit-
ants and a paralysis of real estate. If the
Commissioners in South Carolina had ever
any political aspirations for the future,
they should be pretty effectually killed
