! Acaso Ell C6digc, que es regla
judicial, puede anular las reglas
del orden gubernativo? cAcaso
no hay mas poder capaz de repri
mir y castigar, de dirigir y en-.
cauzar voluntades que ell civil
judicial? Pues esto fuera tanto
como la centralizaci6n absuTda
de la noci6n de autoridad en- una
sola mano, 10 cua! no esta por
cierto muy conforme con las doc
trinas de la escuela d que perte-
nece Ell Ciamor; esto fuera tan
to como entronizar ell absolutis-
mo en- una sola entidad, y a tanto
no ereemos que lleguen las ten
dencias de hoy.
Ell C6digo no ha derogado mas
que las leyeS generates anterio
res a su promulgacidr; este es;
ha derogado las leyes de ignai
cla>e que sc dictaran con anterio-
ridad, pero no las de otra esfera
de correction, tai como la mllitar,
tai como la can6nica, tai como la
de los bandos, que es facultad in
herente al poder executive, asi CO.
mo las represiones coLsignadas
en- esos bandos son ne, esarias E
indispensables para las yer lade-
ras fnnciones de aquel poder.
One e| C6digo no ha dcrogado
mas que las leyes generates ante
riores, este es, las de su clase, 10
dice tcrminantemente ia disposi-
ci6n final del conjunto de su arti-
Lculado.
Pero, mas claro aun consta 10
mismo que defendemos en- el ar,
ticulo 633 de dicno C6digo, en- el
cual Sc estabIece 10 >iguiente:
LAS di4posiciones de este libro

goblerno etc. etc.
Ahora bien; claro esta, que 81
por el C6digo Sc dcrogan los ban.
dos, debe derogarse asi mismo la
facultad de dictarlos, pues otra
cosa implicaria un gran absurdo,
cl absurdo del ser 8 no ser a I'm
tempo mismo.
Que esa facultad subsiste toda
entera y absolute, no obstante eI
C6digo, Sc demuestra por otras
razones, Y, ademas del articulo ci-
tado, por el 10 de la VICENTE Ley

The bathing at Aguas Calientes is Pc
culiar. The lighthouses, while con-
yenient, are limitations OF none others
known. The springs are really not
springs. They are more properly called
hot water spouts, for they do not bub.
BILE or flow out of the ground They
sport out from assures in crevices in the
lower edge of circular mountain or
foot-h and are from four to sixty feet
apart. The rock that forms the hill is
porphyritic trachyte. These springs
were chrstened and named 3jS years
ago by division of the original invad-
ing army of Cortez. From that time
till this they have retained their names.
They are seventeen in number.
Soda, potassium and lime in the form
of chlorideS, sulphates and hydrOchlo-
rates, are the conspicuous minerals.
Carbolic acid gas is inhaled from the
water continually. When cool, the
waters taste of that gas. They are alb
solutely coorless and odorless, and rs
transparent almost as water itself A
pin can be seen at depth of ten feet in
them far palmer than if lying on the
floor. For three centuries and half
they have been famous as healing baths.
The testimony of tens of thousands of
restored invalids proves their peculiar
value.
There is nothing more remarkable
about these celebrated waters than that
by using them for bathing purposes the
people here have the heaviest, densest
and the women the longest growths of
hair known. There is no city in the
world which in luxuriant hair can
compare with this. 1t is not one case,
nor a thousand, but the entire city of
-, 0OO people. have never seen nor
heard of bald headed citizen of AGuas
Galleries. II is common to see schoolgirls
with hair braids two and a half to four
feet in length. No bonnets are worn,
yet the Mexican ladies come ont of
their baths with hair down an return
home with it exposed TO the sun and
still it never fades. The waters are good
for the feet as well as the head, and
cure readily corns and bnnions, Many
foreigners lind in this alone sufficient
reason for spending their time and
money here.

Ex-GOv. Coburn,
At meeting of the directors of the Maine
Central Railroad Co, held yesterday, the
followip resolutions were adopted:
ReSoiyed, That in the death OF Hon. Abner
Coburn, this board and the Maine Central
Railroad Co. have met with a loss such as
rarely happens to men associated together in
business relations. Connected with the Som
eset & Kennebec Railroad from its incorpora-
ton, more than thirty years ago, he was the
main pillar of that enterprise, and from that
time forward until his death he was among
the foremost in developing the resources of
the State by the building up ard extension of
our railroad system. In his thirty years ser
vice as director, and the three years service
as president of the company, he exercised
that wonderful ssgacity which led to embark
ing in an enterprise of real merit and avoid
ing any which have led to disastrous or un-
fortunate results. In the dark days through
which the company has passed, he has never
lost his confidence in its ultimate success ;
and to that end he has given his able
services, his sound Judgment and
even the pledge of his private for
time in crisis in which nothing else saved
it from most serious embarrassment. In the
judgment of this board, the success which
the company has attained, is largely due to
Gov. Coburn, and they desire to put on
record this expression of their appreciation
of the obligation this company is under to
him.
Resoired, That while this company has lost
one of its oldest, ablest and most devoted
friends, the members of the board have lost
an associate whom they had learned to regard
in the highest degree for his sound judgment
his corteous bearing and his answering in-
tegrlty, the State has lost most valuable
citizen, and the community public spirited
and large hearted man.
Resoired, That as a token of our respect
to his memory, this board will attend his
funeral in a body.

singular circumstance occurred at Fowler

was lost forever, exclaimed: There's one

however, happening to glance down towards
his feet. he discovered the missing bill stick

it he placed il in his pocket-book. 1t seems
