In the year 1869 the Bastlle was built
in order to protect Charles V against the
incursions of the Burgundians. Among
the noted prisoners was the celebrated
young French physician, DIR. Mannette,
who was called from his home by hired
ruilians who represented that poor
woman was bleeding to death but short
distance away. The young man kissed
his pretty wife, hastily picked up his
case of Instruments and departed on his
errand OF mercy. The unfortunate man
was thrown into lower dungeon of the
Bastile and never saw his loved one
again. He was discovered by the mob
who had broken down the strong doors
and overcome the guards and keepers of
this living tomb In the year 1883. The
wrecked man had been imprisoned so
years when found, and from young ac-
tive man had become complete human
wreck. AS his liberators burst open
The door of his dungeon, the poor man
cried piteously that they should not
murder him, and as they gathered
around him he continually begged them
to go away that he wanted TO be left
alone, that the light hurt his eyes. The
Mortified spectators noticed that the
walls were covered with vermin, and in
places red marks which on close scru-
fury proved to be blood. A most horri-
BILE stencil pervaded the place. and they
were hlrrying to get out when one OF
them discovered some characters on the
dirt besotted walls. Holding Il lantern
so that Its rays reflected brightly on the
letters, they finally made out that Emer-
son sold goods cheaper than any other
man In San Antonio, and that Emerson's
was good place to get money or spend
~ Good silver watches warranted at

from 81 up. Money to loan at low rates
and that was all,

Four.and.a.HaIf Cents a Gallon.

. Last year the city paid the Water
works four-and-a-half cents gallon for
water, while private individuals pay
only five cents hundred gallons, The
total sum was over $4,000; while, If it
had been paid for at the rate of five
cents per hundred gallons, 1t would have
amounted to $3.50 in round numbers.
Thus the city has paid said corporation
the sum of Sl2,S50 more than private
individual would have paid had he been
dealing with the company.

ever before were given opportunity to gain.
Probably they know something about it
now, but they can learn much more, and
above all can give Messrs. Pearl, Holman
and Cannon, their colleagues, an insight
into our system of navigable streams that
will enlist them as our friends, and no
people ever stood in greater need of friends
in the houses of authority than the people
of the Sacramento valley.
And right here, at the risk of telling an
old story over again, let US ask: Now that
the Government is engaged in making
Oakland creek navigable, if some fellow
should discover a gold mine on its banks,
and begin to dig out its earth and wash it
into the creek to its impairment if the
Federal Government would not speedily,
forcibly, and in manner brooking no
temporizing, command him to cease his
work? Yet that is precisely what we in
sist the Federal Government has the
power to do, and should do in the case of
the Sacramento and San joaquin rivers
To petition the Government to exercise
this power we again call upon the Anti
Debris Association, the County Super
visors, or both together, while still prose-
cutting their law suits to final judgments,
to call Convention of friends of the
rivers to meet in Sacramento next week.
