The proposition to amend the Constitu-
tion SO as to allow States to be sued in the
Federal Courts on their bonds is jumped
upon by our organic contemporary with
the alacrity of I'm Iowa june-bug upon
green potato vine. Our o. C. frantically
shouts "If the conduct of State were to
be thus made the subject of Federal judicial
inquiry, it would be proper to extend it to
all other matters, as well as to her dealings
with her creditors"
And then the able editor instances such
subjects as cher (the state's) treatment of
moral questions, such as temperance and
Sunday observance, and her public-school
policy-whether it should include the
modern languages, the higher mathematics
and the advanced study of the sciences"
Together with more of that profound
humor and wit for which our o. C. is so
justly renowned.
Our o. c. then leaves the lighter region OF
sarcasm and gets down to the hardest and

OF course it will, if the old folks furnish
a band. The boys and girls can skate to
all the dance music they know, have good
time, fool the elders, cheat the devil and
enjoy themselves generally. But if the
rink is unprovided with real good music,
then it will prove to be the most dismal
moral failure of the nineteenth century.

If the half or less of Hon. Perry Bel

true, it is matter that deserves a thorough

CURlOSITlES OF INSTINCT.

Physiology is full of unexplained rid
dies, in all its branches the light of new
discoveries has revealed defects in COLA
teral departments of inquiry. Spal-
lanzani proved that bats can dispense
with their eyes:and professor Petten-
lsefer demonstrated that they see with
their wings,-viz.; that the sensitive
membraEcc OF their flying apparatus
feels the resistance Of the air in ap-
preaching a solid object and thus ena-
blcs them to steer their way through a
maze of obstacles. But how can that
gilt account for their faculty of direc-
ton? \ bat cave in the cliffs of the
''iIiawaSace Cap" ncar Benton, Ten
neSscc, is tcnanted by two varieties of
thc chciroptera, the Nespertilio Coro-
lincnsi& and the Molossus fuliginosus.
Half an hour after sunset they issue
from tGgir den. tie larger variety
llutteriog for miles up and down the
ellis, while tie smaller kind cross the
river and follow their aerial chase in the
dense woods of the opposite shore. They
do ct navigate the air in a beaten track,
but sail III Il random xigzag in pursuit
Of Il most uncertain game,-roaming
beetles and night l have
seen them enter Il mountain gap and fly
up a lateral valley and then vanish in
the labyrinth ot dusky tree tops, dodg-
ing, diving, and dartirg, evidently aban-
doning themselves to the promptings of
the moment. The question now is, how
do their wing-eycs enable them to find
thei. way back? Is it possible that they
can rtc0jlcct the thousand zig-zags of
their devious course? Can their rudi-
mentary optics be of the smallest assis-
lance to them? do not doubt that
eyeless bats would steer through the
maze of a nglcd forest as successfully
as through the wirc-and-ropc labyrinth
of SpalIanZani's study.
Among the higher animals TIE faculty
of direction is by no means a universal
gift: sheep, cats, and monkeys lose their
way as easily as babes i'll the woods;
chickens can be transferred to a neigh
boring farm without fear of their le-
turning to Their native roost. What

Refined Sugar from a New Source.

We mentioned last week the arrival of
about 1000, 900 pounds of refined sugar, per
the steamer "Coptic' from China, which
was SOON to be placed on this market.
This announcement is made in this issue,
and this product is now offered direct to re-
tail merchants at prices which must prove
attractive. The sugar is the product of a re-
finery in Hongkong, and manufactured ex-
pressIy for this market, according to what
are known as the California grades. The
importer seeks the retail merch ants direct,
and offers the sugar in such quantities as
buyers may desire. 1t is most substantially
and admirably put up in new drill bags of
$50 pounds net each, and so protected by
mating that it may be safely shipped to
any part of the c0ast. Merchants on this
coast are accustomed to buying sugar in
barrels and half barrels, but for purposes of
retailing, the bags are quite as convenient
and more economical in the matter of
freight Another advantage is that one
bag is equivalent to a half barrel, and can
be purchased at less than the California
price for barrels. In introducing this pro-
duet the importer follows the standards al
ready known, hence buyers will experience
no difficulty in handling the sugar.

A National Boon.

The arrival of the Mariposa has awaken :
ed the most lively feeling of hopefuness
among our fruit growers and exporters of
small produce. 1t is the realization of the
most sanguine expectations of our produc-
ers to have a splendid, capaciOus powerful
and fleet steamship as one ola domestic line
of ships waiting in our port, and affording
every facility and opportunity to traveller
and shipper to make the most satisfactory
arrangements for travel and freight. The
arrival of this noble ship inspires hopeful
ness and satisfaction that gives renewed
buoyancy and vigor to all the enterprises of
the country. None feel this hOpefulness
more strongly than the small producer, and
perhaps he feels = livelier interest than the
large proprietor and exporter. The man
who may have a few score of punches of
bananas or few boxes of oranges, man.
goes, pineapples, guavas or grapes will be
equally as anxious about his petty export
as the exporter of several hundred tons of
sugar, and it is fortunate for great enter
prise that it favors and assists the small
workers and producers as we'll as the larger
ones. 1t then becomes more largely and
eminently national benefactiOn. Such
indeed is the Mariposa and the line she rep
resents
