LOCAL, INTELLIGENCE,
The School Election.

The election in this city yesterday for a
City School Superintendent and four School
Directors did not draw out q large vote,
the total being but 2,54O. In the First
Ward but 372 votes were polled, and in
the Second 500. The Third Ward people
showed their appreciation of what was dne
the cause Of education, by turning ont TO
the number Of S2l, and the Fourth Ward
polled 155 votes. The fact that the polls
closed lat sund0wn) before the men at the
railroad shops ceased their labors probably
accounts for the smallness of the total
vote, though 1t does not explain why so
rev people voted down town. The Demo-
Gratis made vigorous fight to elect their
candidate for Superintendent, in some in
stances sacrificing other candidates in his
favor. and the result shows that thew were
successful, his majority being las. The
election did not warm up until the after
noon was well advanced, the Republicans
seeming to be apathetic, believing that
there was no danger but that their ticket
would be successful. Messrs. Frees and
Nottingham, on the Democratic ticket for
Directors, bad announced that they were
not candidates, but they got a large COM
pllmentary vote notwithstanding. AS will
be seen by the annexed table. all the Re-
publican Directors were elected:

An Explanation.

The Marysville appeal of the 9TH instant
said: On the Sd instant the two copies of
the RECoRD-C MON addressed to the appeal
both failed to come to hand But both
arrived on Friday from Walnut Grove,
Sacra mento county, where they had been
missent. The new Democratic Postmaster
at Sacramento should invest dollar in a
new geography, and go before the Civil
Service Commission"
Postmaster Stephens being called upon
yesterday for an explanation of the above.
said regret very much that the mis-
take occurred, but the fault was not with
Democratic civil service except it rests
in the fact that have made no change in
the position of mailing clerk of the news
paper and package department of the office.
1t might be well for the 1ppeGI to invest a
dollar in new. or old, geography, and
send it to the Republican mailing clerk
here
Mr.. Stephens further said that it was a
mistake liable to happen in any Postoffice,
and particularly where there is as much
mail matter handled, and in so brief a
time, as there is in this office. The mail
ing clerks in this Office have been in active
service for the last "a years, and it is
claimed by many that they are the best in
the service on the Pacific coast.

CLUNIE OPERA HoUsE.-The melodrama
Life for Life" was played at the opera
house last night Elloa Carfano appeared
in the leading role, demanding four male
presentations. She filled them well and
gave complete satisfaction. The foreign
dialect is SO slight upon her tongue as to
be scarcely perceptible. The lady will
prove a strong attraction for lovers of the
sensational drama, which Life for Life"
is. 1t is French, romantic, full of startling
situations and surprises, and is presented
with some very handsome new scenery
painted by Mr.. Wilkins. The Bay of Ma
pies, with the volcano in eruption, and the
scene of the burning ship were the two
most notable scenes. Miss Heath made a
very effective impression by a superior
rendering of difficult role, and Miss Mar
shall as the blind girl Agnes made the
character one of pathetic interest. Messrs.
Staley, Montserrat, Yinton, Sawyer and
Donley afforded good support. Other men,
bers of the Opera House stock company were
listed in the play to good advantage. The
drama will be repeated this evening

IngersOll's BOyhOod.

Col. Robert g. Ingersoll is often said
to have formed in boyhood a preju-
dice against orthodoxy, because his
father, Congregational clergyman,
reared him so Vigorously as to deprive
him of every rational pleasure. The
patcrnal Ingcrsollo of whom Robert was
extremely fond, was remarkably liber-
cral, and on account of his liberality
was always in trouble with the mem
bers Of his church, and other evangeli-
cal persons, who made him very un-
happy. This seemed so narrow and
unjust to Robert that he came TO hate
the name of Calvnism and all its teach
ings. His hatred has increased with
his years, and is vigorously expressed
in his anti-rclgious lectures. A native
Of this state he was born'in Amsterdam
his famil, led a wandering life until
they settled. when he was 10 years old,
in Southern Illinois. For years he
called Peoria his home, but of late he
has spent most of his time in Washing
ton, where his legal practice is report
ed TO be worth $4,000 per annum.
Albeit an ardent politician he has new
er held any public Office except that Of
attorney general of Illinois. After
having been beaten in 1860 as a DEM
ocratc candidate for congress from
that state, he resolved never again to
seek the sutl'ragcS of the people, and
he has kept his resolution. He refused
in 1877 the mission 10 Berlin, which
had been rendered him by the state de-
partmcnt. lie is doubtless aware that
his aggressive attitude toward ortho-
do1y would be suocc ,sfully used
against him at the POLLS. At his house
in Peoria one day, a visitor seeing a
fine edition # Volta re- works in his
brary, asked how much it cost him.
His answer was, "Ihe Govcrnorship OF

Purifying Water With Alum,

Those OF our readers who have
travelled on the Mississippi river know
how turbd the water is, and they may
have seen people tic bit of alum to "A
thread, let it down into Il tumbler of
water, and swing it about little, af-
ter which operation the liquid be-
comes as clear rs crystal. Recently
the matter has been carefully exam
ined into and reported upon by Profs.
p. L. Austen and +. A. Wilder, of
Rutgers college. In their experiments,
two-tenths of a grain to the liter Zone
and Onc-iifths grains to the gallon)
caused the settling of the impurities
in the New Brunswick, n. D., water.
Double this quantity may well be used,
as rule. This amount of alum is too
small to be porceptible to the taste, or
TO exert any physiological action.
The alumun mag be used in clarifying
water by filtration. If very small
amount be added to turbid water it
can be filtered through ordinary pa
per without difficulty, and yields n
brilliantly clear iiltrate, in which there
is no trace of suspended matter. 1t is
not necessary to let it stand before ill
tration, as the action of the alum is
immediate. The simplest form of fill
ter for considerable quantities of wat
er is n tube, one end of which is stuffed
with cotton. A drain-pipe is the best,
as 1t can be so easily cleansed. The
plug of cotton should be two or three
inches thick, and may be kept in place
by ring of wood lifted into the bot
tom Of the pipe. For household pur-
poses, a glass funnel may be used, or
a filter may be made by cutting off the
bottom of q glass flask or other bot
tie. The neck of the funnel or bottle
is to be plugged with cotton, which
should first be worked in warm water
to remove the adhering air, and to wet
it well. 1t should be packed in quite
closely, little at a time, until it
forms layer two or three inches
thick. To insure accuracy in the
amount of alum used it is best tC
make a solution of half an ounce Of
alum to q quart of water Dissolve
the alum in cup of boiling water
pour this into n quart measure, and
4 fill up with cold water. Keep in o
properly labeled bottle. Fifty-foul
drops Of this solution, or scant tea.
spoonful will contain two and three
tenths grains of alum, which is tn,
quantity for gallon of water. 1t /:
not important to be very exact, a.
twice the quantity would be harmless
, enough. Analysis shows that tn,
water is not only clarified but purified
by this process, the greater part Of tn,
organic matter being removed from
it.-Popular Science NewS.

The Colonel and the Sentinel.

The colonel of an Alabama regiment
which served during the rebellion was
famous for having everything done in
military style. Once, while field Of
ficer OF the day, going on his tour Of
inspection he came upon a sentinel
sitting on the ground, with his gun
taken entirely TO pieces. The follow
ing dialogue then ensued: Colonel
Don't you know that a sentinel while
on duty should always keep on his
feet? Sentinel (without looking up)
That's the way we used to do when
the war begun, but that's outlawed
long ago. Colonel beginning to
doubt ifthe man were really on duty)
Are you the sentinel hereP Senti-
nel-Well, I'm a sort of a sentinel.
Colonel-Well, I'm q sort of officer of
the day. Sentinel-Well, if you'll
hold on till sort Of git my gun to-
gether I'll give you a sort OF salute.
