TnE Revista de Monterey makes
known a discovery that calls TO mind
the prediction of Nostradamus that the
world would come to an end In 1886.
There was recently found In the church
OF obervel, in the diocese Of Trlvera,
Mexico, a stone, upon which is an in
scription to the effect that the destruc-
tion Of the world will take place In the
year when the Passover occurs on st.
Marks day, Pentecost on st. Anthony's
day, and Corpus Christi on st. Johns
day. All this will happen in the year
1856.

MoNcURE ID. CONWAY, writing about
the progress of the Buddhists IN Ceylon
for the New York Tribune, says, among
other things: Notwithstanding the
translation Of the Sacred Books Of the
East, and the universal recognition of
their treasures In the universities Of
Europe and America, Notwithstanding
the circulation of Arnold's Light OF
ASIA Notwithstanding the fact that, as
the late Dean Stanley put it, the name
OF Sakya Mum has become In England
second 10 but one other, the average
missionary goes on pronouncing these
oriental religions and their books mere
idolatry and diabolism, and the Govern
ment official too generally deals with
these people as inwardly subjects of
Satan. No wonder that one or two
clever Americans, imbued with the new
spirit that Max Muller and other orien-
talists have awakened, appearing in the
East with homage to the source Of all
great religions, have gathered more adj
herents in five years than the mission
aries have in five centuries

ONE can gain some idea of the caliber
Of members Of the present Legislature
and their ideas of economy in the follow
ing from the Austin Statesman: "And
now a certain legislator has been fgur-
ing on the asylum appropriations and has
arrived at the brilliant and excessively
satisfactory conclusion that the State can
be saved thousands Of dollars annually.
The lunatic asylum asks for $4,000 per
annum TO purchase groceries, provisions,
fuel, gas and water to supply 600 patients
and employees. This is little over Sll
per month for each person, but the actual
amount paid out for groceries and pro-
visions for each person will not exceed
50 per month. Topay salaries of super
intendent. assistant superintendent, at
PENDANTS and to clothe and feed the pa
tients, Sl2S,GS0 Is asked for, which is
about SIS month for each person. The
financial agent Of the penitentiary in his
report says II will cost Sll per month to
guard, feed, clothe, furnish bedding,
medicine and medical attention per
month for each convict. Now, the legis-
lator alluded to proposes TO feed, furnish
fuel. gas and water to each lunatlc at
about Sc per month. If he can do this
the State will save thousands annually
by securing the valuable services of the
gentleman alluded to, even If she has to
pay him salary of $4,000 per annum,
and the sooner he Is secured the better"

ANY number of solutions of the none
tary stringenoy, which has so severely
tried our country for the past 10 months,
have been given, and many of them
have seemed very plausible at the first
glance. The true cause of the present
snap of hard times Is the excessive
length to which the credit system was
pushed. The boom In Texas unclaimed
the spirit of speculation. Men fancled
this boom was too solid to be in any
danger from collapse and rebound. Cap
ital was looking out for profitable invest
ments. Capitalists fed speculation by
loans of money. Lands and live stock
were bought with borrowed money
Houses were erected with borrowed
money. All branches of mercantile bust
ness were crowded to repletion, and
wholesale merchants and iobbers sold
goods right and left, simply because
they themselves had laid in heavy stocks
and must get them off as best they could.
A Fictitious condition of things followed.
Prices scared too high, as they always
do, when the credit system is viciously
extended and speculation infests the air.
Men bought ranches, town property and
live stock with the intention of selling
out at largely enhanced prices and put
ting fortunes in their pockets. But ex-
cessive imitation of prices always ends
in collapse, and where men are oper-
ating wholly on borrowed capital, de-
cline in prices shivers them to atoms
When prices droop all are anxious to sell.
None wish to buy for fear of further
tumble, and capitalists grow reluo-
tant to make loans except upon security
that few can furnish. This brings mat
tiers to stand still. But from the signs
Of the times the LIGHT thinks the clouds
are breaking away and that the sun will
soon shine out. The evil effects of ex.
oessiye credit have worn themselves out
and business will gradually revive. The
storm Is over and 1t has done less dam
age than was thought at first TO have
! been done

The New City Council.

The incoming City Council will
have the attention of all our people
fixed upon them, as much will be
expected of them, and Judging from
the gentlemen who have been cho-
sen to represent their several wards,
no doubt, all expectations will be
contaminated.
In the First Ward Mr.. Edouard
We'll has been elected, and as he
has served the people a few years
since in the capacity of Mayor, it
is almost superflous for us to eulo-
gize upon Ills merits as a Council
man, therefore suficeth it to say
that the First Warders need have
no misapprehension as to their fu
ture for two years to come.
For the Second Ward, it is, in
deed, we'll provided for in the Sc
lection of Mr.. Jas. f. Garner, al
though he has not been proven by
actual service, yet as private citi-
zen, his energy is well known, and
being practical man we feel sure
he Will not disappoint his constit-
uency.
The Councilman elect from the
Third Ward, Mr.. Baynard, is also
untried, but from the interest that
he has evinced in the Fire Compa-
ny and other public matters, prom
Uses to fulfill the desire of his friends
he has good record as bust
ness man, which will be exercised
in his public position and prove Of
very material aid in solving some
of the vexed questions which that
body will be called upon to solve.
The Fourth and Fifth Wards will
be represented by old, tried and
true members, viz: Messrs. Dennis
Kelly and Jonas Rorenthal, both
of home have served in that capac-
| itv, to the entire satisfaction of their
Wards-the former having received
solid vote, having no opposition.
AS to what will be expected Of
the incoming City. Administration,
space forbids US entering upon
more than a simple outline at pre-.
sent but the DEMOCRAT will he
found in the future as in days of
yore, ever outspoken upon all pub
| lie matters.
First, we want retrenchment;-
let us have one constable, as there
is no need of two. We are also
opposed to having the Town ditch
ing put ont by contract, but would
rather have it done by parties who
are unable or unwilling to pay
their fines ; we would also suggest
that the Sunday law (which the
former Editor, who was also Coun-
| Gilman from his Ward, SO strongly
advocated, both in the Council and
in the columns of this paper once
more brought into force.
We will, from time to time, make
such Suggestions as the people may
desire, and we feel assured that the
Council will be ever ready to sec.
ond our efforts in promoting reform
and retrenchment.

The approved account of Mr..
Julius Levin, registered on the Cor

for the last few months has been in
the hands of Mr.. Mires Rosenthal,
to whom the said piece of paper
was transferred, was paid up on
Friday, the last payment amount
ing to $500. The said bill was for
lumber, bought by the Corporation
in 1882, and has been due during
that long period of time, now going
on three years. Various credits for
different amounts were made on the
back Of it, and to look at it from a
distance, it looked like worn ont
document, so constant of late has
been its handling. The above
plainly shows the disposition of the
Town to pay its Indebtedness, and
places in bad light the reports
made that the City Fathers meant
to repudiate. Now that the lar
gest persimmon has been knocked
down, it stands to reason that the
smaller ones will have a better
