upon the comparisons made below-the
amusing inconsistency is apparent without
any other than mere reference to the mat

No journal upon the coast talks with the
assumption of greater learning upon rail
road questions than the San Francisco
Chronicle. In its own estimation its pro-
fundity surpasses all conceptions of human
knowledge. The matter given below,
though bearing different dates, is taken
from the same editorial columns 1t is
almost needless to add that the excerpts are

The proposition to

humbug. 1t is just what
the monopoly wants.
The gross income syS-
TEN would be sure to
prove unsatisfactory if
adopted, because the
Central Pacific would
devise some means to
make its returns appear
much smaller than they
really are.
Besides, the probabili-
ties are strongly in favor
of the belief that, al

SADIE against the system
if it were once adopted.
There are other OBJ

in the revenue law it
should be in the dircc-

The japanese lotteries and auctions
which one encounters upon the streets
at night are especially interesting to
foreigners. | went to confectionery
lottery last evening, and laughed until
the tears rained from my eyes at the
droll sights there presented.
An immense crowd was gathered
about booth where gay lanterns and a
painful attempt at music attracted the
ear and eye. Approaching the front |
found that man was selling tickets to
in connection with his regular business.
He was yelling vigorously in a monot-
onous tone of voice, and offering the
tickets at one sen each. As fast as
those gathered around him would hand
the required sen he would hand back
the ticket, which contained a certain
number printed upon it, and also at the
same time a cooky. Thus those who
made the expensive investment got
something in return for their money,
even at the worst.
| waited for some time, until the
numbers had all been given out. Then
the men turned to big wheel, which l
had not noticed before, and gave it q
furious turn by means of crank. This
was accomplished by as awful flourish
as if upon the act was to hang the fate
of nations. This wheel contained in a
circle all the numbers which had been
given out. 1t ceased revolving ST last
and q certain number was seen to be at
the bottom.
At this all the people gave shout,
and a young man came forward and
produced the fortunate ticket. The pro-
prietor turned to shelf behind him,
and very solemnly produced piece of
sponge cake about ten inches long and
two inches wide. The boy marched OF
quite pompously with his prize, amid
the tumultuous vaccinations of the
throng. OF course it all seemed very
childish to me, but supposed the hold
which the simple enterprise seemed to
have upon the people was due to the
element of chance. which exercises the
same iron sway over men the world
around.-Cor. n. O. Times Democrat.

Divers sometimes have strange ex-
periences, and it is always to me a
matter of interest to talk with them,
once had an interview with one whom [
found to be a very, intelligent man,
evidently truthful, and quite willing to
converse as to his strange mode of work
One OF my questions was whether he had
ever met with any accident or adventure
whea Under the water.
"Yes, | have. Once | was frightened
in earnest. In fact, was in real danger,
and the only wonder is that am here
now to tell Of it, 1t was Just three
years ago. l was in shoal water, in
still water, close by city wharf, and
and yet escaped by the skin of my
teeth 1t was, at South Brooklyn. A
Danish brig had come in leaking badly,
having been injured in the ice on the
Banks. She sunk about fifty feet be-
fore reaching the wharf went down
us usual, made my examination, and
was about to return to the surface,
when all at once / found that | could
not move.
"At first l thought little of it; felt, in
had often happened before, and | had
succeeded in working loose. But this
time things went badly. 1t took me
some little while before | could find out
what the difficulty really was, but at
length it became plain that my signal
line had caught on something which
was solid and strong, and which
was several feet above nv head. |
tried all l knew how to reach the point
where it was damned, but it was of no
use, and then | began to be alarmed
OF course could give no signal to the
men in the boat, and | found that my
strength was fast going, and then it
went faster because of the fright. My
| only hope was that those above would
learn that something was wrong, and
would draw me up. Ny fright in
creased terribly. and Of course that only
added to my danger, when, to my in
| tense relief, l found that | was being
| drawn up.
Il well knew that this could not be
too quickly, for l was almost gone
You may judge of my terror when [
found myself stopped, and once more
fast by my line. 1t was too much for
me in my exhausted condition, and l
lost my consciousness. When | recov-
cred was in the boat, and my helmet
was off.
The story was soon told: they had
wondered at my long quietncss, had
tried the signal line and found it fast;
had at once started to hoist me to the
surface, and when the rope stopped
them, had cut it. That is all, except
that when we had the brig, raised we
found the piece of the line so solidly
| iammed on two bolt-heads that we could
free it only by cutting it to pieces. "
/ remarked to him that, after such a
danger and alarm. / only wondered how
he could ever venture under water
again, but he made small account Of it.
He said he was under the bottom of that
same brig the very next day.-Harper'

Something Better than Mrs

Reasons Why.

When certain Commissary General complain

lions for that Generals division were not forth
coming at certain hour, the DIXIE replied:
"Ahl did he indeed 90 Sc far as that Did he

well, General Fiction is just the man TO keep
his word. You'd better get the rations up in
time
But TO get rations or anything else up in time
one must know how to lay his hand on them. As
Mr.. Toodles said about the coffin which he had
bought at auction and brought home TO his wife,
III ANYTHING should happen, my dear, it will be
so handy TO have in the house.

1t is handy to have in the house, and We are never

Culled from the mass of reasons why Mr.. Sher-
man was right, be good enough to consider these
First, PARKER'S TONIC is delicious to the pal

atheists l ever met. But now, however,
in England they are beginning to
practice formal religion. Some of them
have the babies baptized, and others
affect legal marriage. With this change,
may come love of ciyilizetand cultured
pursuits. As far as l can trace, no
gypsy has risen in literature, art or
science. However, if he should, it
would be difficult to prove, for pride
would hide the origin. 1t is said
that Daniel Webster and Hannibal
Hamlin were of gypsy descent, l do
not believe the assertion had good
foundation President Lincoln certainly
did look like a gypsy, and yet | know
no reason to assert that he sprang from
those strange people, With these
amalgamations with gentiles comes also
desire to settle down. There are the
Coopers in Boston and Harrisons in
