THE BROOKLYN aldermen are pos.
sessed Of true Spartan virtues. They
have unitedly rejected free passes
over the Brighton Beach railroad,
and done it with show of dignity
that does them credit. As a post.
script it may be added that the
aldermen already hold passes to the
sea-shore by all other railroads,
and are indignant that the Brighton
Beach should have neglected them
until the season is drawing to a
close.

THE ELECTION of Austin T. Pike
to the United States Senate by the
New Hampshire legislature has
caused the gentleman's Congress
sionaI record to be hunted up.
During the two years that he was
in the House, as a member of the
Forty-third Congress. he introduced
eight bills and three resolutions,
presented four petitions and ad i.
dressed the House six times. His
speeches did not all together occupy
an hours time, only one of his bills
became law, and nothing came of
his resolutions or petitions, neither
of them bringing him notoriety.
However, Senator Pike can hardly
be q worse law-giver than his prede.
cessor, Rollins, who was simply the
lobbyist of the Union Pacific rail-
way.

Cost of Printing School Rocks

We have received from Col. J. J..
Ayers, State Printer, his special report
to the President of the Senate of the
cost of printing school books by the
State. The following are his figures:
Speller or primer of 100 pages, 100000
copies, So. l26, or s.l26 cents per copy;
first reader, 100 pages, 100000 copies,
SO, 2S6, or 9.2S6 cents per copy; second
reader, PIG pages, 10000 copies, SlO,-
1852 so. or 1920 cents; third reader,

l00.4O or 2O.l67 cents; history. 3S4
pages, $1,000 copies, Sl7, 795. 20, or
29.65S cents. Comparative cost of books:
The series as printed by the State,
Sl.3sa; present retail cost, $500;
difference in favor of the
State. s3.645. The cost of a
geography is not given in the foregoing.
but as that essentially necessary book to
the education OF the children of the
State costs at retail 81 so per copy, Col.
Ayers estimates that it could be fur
nished by the State at cost of about
thirty five cents per copy.
The report concludes 1t will be I'M
derstood that much of the expense in.
Cured in printing the first edition of
the books would not be incurred in sub.
sequent editions. The electrotype
plates can be duplicated indefinitely, so
that there would be no further cost for
type-setting. So with the engravings,
and with the blocks for maps, etc.

A Feminine Order.

Down in Salinas, the young ladies'
have organized themselves into an order,
the avowed purpose of which is to break
up the parnicious habit of cigarette
smoking and tobacco chewing among the
young men. The society is purely fem
mime, and none Of the sterner sex are
allowed to attend any of its meetings,
which are held in secret. When new
member is initiated the following IRON
clad oath is administered: 81, Jane
Jenkins Tor whatever the name may be),
solemnly pledge my sacred honor that
will never again kiss any young man,
his father, brother, uncle or cousin. who
chews, smokes or snuffs, or carries any
cigarettes. further declare that / will
not allow any such person to sit up
with me in the night time, either
in parlor, summerhouse, or any
other place; neither will l ride out
at night in covered carriage or
buggy with any cigarette smoker; but
if by accident or misrepresentation, l
should be induced to do so, pledge my
words as loving hearted girl that /
will sit on the opposite side of the con-
veyance and keep my head turned to
the exterior. And should he venture
to put his arm around my neck or waist,
drawing me toward him, and attempt to
kiss, bite or beard me, pledge my word
that will not halloo or make any noise
whatever, but will treat him as coldly as
my defenseless condition will allow.
All of which l solemnly promise and
declare without equivocation or mental
reservation; binding myself under no
less penalty than that of having my
false teeth taken out. and eschewing Of
the imrressible gum for period of thirty
days. IS. +. Exchange.

Engineering and Mining Journall
Charles W. Siemans has Just patented
q new explosive which ia stated to be
very powerful. The compound is a
mixture of saltpeter. chlorate of potash,
and solid hydrocarbon, and is suitable
for both mining purposes and firearms,
while. if ignited in the open air, the
combustion takes place slowly and i'm
perfectly. 1t is stated that the incorpo-
ration of the ingredients is by prefer
ence effected as follows: The saltpeter,
chlorate of potash and hydrocarbon,
for which may be taken paraffine, as
phaltum, pitch, caoutehouc, gutta per-
cha, etc., are mixed together in pull
verulent form to be passed through
sleeves or otherwise, and the mixture is
then treated with liquid volatile
hydrocarbon, which acts as q solvent
to the solid hydrocarbon. A plas-
tic mass is thus produced, which is
then formed into cakes or sheets by
passing through rollers or otherwise,
and is rendered hard by evaporating
the liquid solvent used, the sheets or
cakes so produced being then converted
into grains or piecs of any desired size
in the same manner as ordinary gun
powder, and is very hard, is said to pos
sess with equal volume more than
double the explosive force of the latter.
The intensity of explosion can be regu-
lated at will by varying the proportions
OF the ingredients and the size Of the
granules. These proportions should,
generally speaking, be such that for
each volume of the hydrocarbon, when
converted into a gaseous state, there
shall be present in the other ingredients
three volumes OF oxygen.

Magnetic Healing.

DIR. Z Robbins, the celebrated electric
and magnetic healer who lately arrived
in this city. is meeting with immense
success. His rooms are crowded daily
with patients anxions to get the benefit
of his wonderful power. DIR. Robbins
discards the use Of all medicines in his
practice and relies solely on the power
o. magnetism. He cures all kinds OF
disease, such as pains in the back, hips,
head or limbs, nervous debility, lum-
bago, general debility, rheumatism, par
alysis, neuralgia, sciatica, disease of the
kidneys, spinal diseases, torpid liver,
govt, seminal weakness, asthma, heart
disease, dyspepsia, constipation, erysipe.
las, Indigestion, catarrh, dumb ague,
fevers. prolapsus uteri, etc., etc. Diseases
diagnosed without explanation from the
patient. Office hours, 8 A. NJ. till 9 PM.
MARVELLOUS CURE BY MAGNETISM.
The undersigned take much pleasure
in recommending to those suffering with
disease and pain, DIR. e. Robbins, Of
l68 Main street, as n genuine magnetic
healer. We have had experience with
healers for 80 years past and he is one
of the best we have ever met. Mrs.
Glover had been falling in health for six
months and on Jan. Sth was taken
worse with congestion of the lungs and
and complication OF diseases. We
called in DIR. Robbins and without ex.
PLANTATION he correctly diagnosed her
case, describing her symptoms. Then
by laying his hands on the affected parts
instantly relieved her and after three
weeks treatment without medicine she
feels better than she has been for years,
and we cannot give too much credit to
the Doctor who by Gods help has done
so much for her, and we know the
power is given him to do the same for
Others. Come and see Mrs. Glover at
No. 20 Fort street and see if this is true.

A Terrible Shock.


One Of Stockton's society young men
went into a Main street shoe store the
other day. He had a bangle button for
each of the big cuffs that covered his
lily wrists. A shapeless bit of felt was
perched on his pretty, well-set head
He took his dear little cigarette into the
store with him.
"What want, said the dainty dar-
ling. MASKING the shoemaker with one
of his looks, sis q monstrous pair of
shoes, you know-old ones. I'm going to
masquerade in funny character.
Can't you let me have pair that some
rancher with awfully big feet has left
to get mended, you know. He he'
Certainly" said the clerk, new one
Just transported from San Francisco, and
he brought out pair of No. los and
laid them down before the lovely being.
The lovely being looked at them awhile
and then a vivid blush showed itself
under the powder. and he slapped at the
clerk.
''Why, you nasty thing" cried the
society young man, "these are my ownl
/ left them here to be half-soled only
three days ago."
1t was necessary to help the darling
out of the store to the fresh air, and he
had hardly strength enough left to pull
his cigarette.

Yesterdays Rine Match.

One of the most interesting events Of
yesterday was the shooting match be-
tween the San Bernardino and Los An
geles Rifle Clubs. The San Bernardino
Club shot at their range in that city and
a dispatch was received at late hour
last night by Mr.. j. Lockwood, the
President of the Los Angeles Rifle Club,
from Mr.. J. c. Pridham, representing
the club at San Bernadino, that the team
OF that place had 1877 points out of the
possible 900.
The match was agreed upon as
friendly contest OF skill and was shot at
200 yards, under the Creedmoor rules.
The judges, marksmen and friends pro-
ceeded to the City Gardens shortly after
one o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
range was measured off and found to be
several feet short Of the required dis.
lance, but the deficiency was made up
by the marksmen standing back further
than usual. After much delay the Los
Angeles team commenced its shooting at
quarter past two O'Clock, Mr.. w.
Wilson, of San Bernardino, and Mr.. j.
Lockwood, of the home club, acting as
scorers. Master Frick, of this city,
and Mr.. ]. Hendricks, of San Bernar-
dino, acted az markers, and Mr.. Fred.
Linde took the responsible position of
referee, but happily no occasion for
an appeal arose. Everything passed
off beautifully except the shooting,
which was much below the clubs prac-
tice score. 1t was considered a pretty
safe bet that the teams average would
not go below AZ, but the disappointment
can be imagined when it was discovered
that the average made only reached
3gl-5. The following was the indi-

A Convict's Fiddle.

The following remarkable communi.
cation explains itself. Its veracity, Of
course, cannot be vouched for. but more
remarkable things have been done than
the construction OF the fiddle spoken of
below. 1t must, however, have been the
creation of countless hours Of work and
ingenuity:

ment that a gentleman at Placerita had
whitfield fiddle out of four kinds of
wood, etc. Now, then, If man in this
prison, land the undersigned is heb who
in the solitude OF an iron cell, and at
night, has made fiddle OF twelve kinds
Of wood, viz: Rosewood, primavera, mes
quit, madrofie, cedar, buchize, poplar,
maple. pine. hickory, Florida cedar and
Osage orange, and the top Of which is
composed of more than six hundred
pieces. and is said by experts to be a
very fine instrument Now II your

Last night was one of music and dane.
ing, Of "brave men and fair women" of
gallant FIRE laddies and their lovely dull.
cineas at Turnverein Hall, on the occa-
sion of Confidence Engine Company's
ball. The preparations for the enter
tainment had been very extensive, and
knowing to how much trouble and ex-
pense the Twos were putting themselves
to make the affair grand one, every
body anticipated gala evening, nor
were they disappointed. The hall had
been most beautifully decorated by Mr..
William E. Stormer, assisted by other
members Of the Company. Garlands
of evsrgreens hung in every direction.
The three elegant banners Of the Twos
were suspended from the ceiling and
waved over the merry dancers. Four
cages containing canaries were also swung
from the ceiling to within few feet of
the heads of the gay throng, and the
sweet notes Of the little feathered song
sters seemed to be the echo of the glad
music in the hearts of the votaries of
Terpsichore. Want of space forbids
our noticing the decorations in detail,
but the tout ensemble was strikingly
handsome.
Shortly after s o'clock the music struck
up and six couples formed in the center
of the hall, all dressed in costumes one
hundred years old. 1t would be
impossible to describe the costumes Of
the dancers, but let one imagine twelve
young people Of the last century, as
portrayed in old Spanish pictures, dane
ing in the presence Of people of to-day,
and some faint idea can be had Of this
portion of the evenings entertainment.
The dancers were Mr.. Adolfo Cells and
Miss Elvira Alvarado, Mr.. Jose Arnaz
and Miss Minnie Ruiz, Mr.. B. A. Yorba
and Miss Virginia Dryden, Mr.. Ramon
Benites and Miss Delfina Tapia, Mr..
J. A. Berry and Miss Lizzie Cruz, and
Mr.. T. +. Botello and Miss Maria Car.
rasco. The dances performed were the
old Spanish dances known as Las Polli-
tas, La Jota, La Escondida, La Lorrita,
Los Comotes and were danced to quaint
Spanish music played by Messrs. Ylario
Ybarra and Dolores Canedo. The dane.
ing was watched by the spectators with
intense interest and the participants are
to be congratulated upon their graceful
ness and skill. Singing and other dances
filed up the time until o o'clock, when
the room was cleared for general dane
ing. The Spanish musicians were re-
placed by Wangeman's orchestra and at
its first strains one could plainly see the
eager Impotence of the young people to
throw themselves into the fascinating
mazes Of the waltz. This they did with
vim, and quadrilles, polkas and schot-
fishes alternated with waltzing till the
wee sma' hours gave notice that the
time for ending all the gaiety had ar
rived. A splendid supper had been pre-
pared, which was hugely enjoyed.
The ball in every respect was thor
ough success and one over which the
rwos may well feel gratifed. Large
numbers of spectators filled every avail
able space in the hall and in the gal.
leries. Last night will be long remem-
bered by those who were present at
Two's ball.
