the rate will be two cents TOR each

one-quarter of the whole quantity of

MIA, phosphOric acid and potash-beine

stances-notably soda, lime, magnesia

but, of these, magnesia and silica are
usually abundant in the soil, while
soda and lime are more cheaply OBJ

known as "phOsphates," and so are

The PrOhibitionists are making this
year the strongest canvass that they
have ever managed in Ohio. DIR.
Leonard, their candidate for governor.
has addressed some very large meet
ings. The main point of his speeches
is that prohibition is the foremost issue
in American politics, that it is to des-
troy one of the two great parties by
absorbing the best men in both of them.
and that the consequence will be the
breaking up of the Solid South. This
is in harmony with the private CONVEX
sation of the leading Prohibitionists
here, who express the belief that the
South is ripe for just such a movement,
and who have even gone so far as to
name COlquitt, of Georgia, as their
probable next candidate for president.

has created deep and intense excite
ment in San Francisco. The know
ledge that such mass of putrefaction
was lying exposed in the heart of the
city, while at the same time the drain
age and sewers of the city are known
to be in filthy condition, has created
a feeling of fear for the health of the
city. The Coroner stated that when
be arrived at the cellar in which the
bodies were stored, and in which putri-
hed remains which had still to be boil
ed were lying, he set to work to break
open the boxes. There were about six
ty bodies in all. Each box contained a
TIN case, in which, carefully wrapped
IN oil cloths, were a number of human
bones. The smaller bones and long
strips of skin were wrapped up in
separate parcels and placed within the
larger ones. On the outside of each
box was label bearing Chinese charac-
ters giving the name of the dead per-
sons within, so that the remains could
be identified by relatives in China.
After having opened several of the
boxes the Coroner concluded to seize
the whole lot and remove them to the
Morgue. While the cases were being
placed in wagons some of them fell to
the pavement breaking open and ex-
posing the contents. The crowd which
had assembled upon learning the cause
of the excitement jumped on the bones
and in their indignation trod them un-
der foot. The police quickly interpos
ed and the loading continued without
further interruption. The remains
were removed to the Morgue.
Most of the boxes containing remains
were found to have come from cities in
the interior of the State. The remains
were shipped from there to San Fran
CISCO in common tea boxes. Those
from the interior are boiled and pre-
pared before shipment, so that no odor

removed from San Francisco cemeteries

hat the Chinese Six Companies will

Jumbo was killed last week near st.
Thomas, Ontario, having been run
over by freight train. Few empe-
rors, kings, statesmen or poets ever at
tanned a fame so widespread as that
enjoyed by Jumbo at the time of his
death, and still fewer have ever trav-
eled so widely, met so many distin-
gulshed individuals, and won to an
equal extent the devoted friendship of
the dominant element in modern So
ciety-the little folks. His name has
become the synonym of greatness.
For many a day yet the big elephant.
the big baby and the fat man will con-
tlnue to be designated by it. Consid-
ering the short period embraced in his
public career in this country. the ex-
tent to which Jumbos name has be-
come household word is indeed re-
markable. As the great king of beasts
ne was certainly entitled, if die he
must, to obtain a worthier death than
to be run over by a sneaking night
freight train. He deserved at least a
lightning express. 1t is as if Hannibal
or julius Caesar had been kicked to
death by a mule.
