lev assistant to President Adams. of the
Union Pacific, who represents the company
in the matter of the Rock Springs diff
Guilty, has been in this city to-day, and was
Interviewed by your representative. He
was asked il the report was true that he
had said that in his belief the company
would turn over the road to the United
States Government in the event OF
general strike. lie said he was not autho-
rized to speak for the company, but had
no doubt the statement heretofore pub

sooner than submit to the demands of the
striking miners, that Chinese be excluded
from the mines and the men who are
guilty of murder, robbery and arson be re-

New YORK, September 20th.-The tn
J,bc editorially says When SuJter built
his fort OF New Helvetia. at The junction OF
the American and Sacramento rivers. IN
California, the Sacramento was q clear.
bright stream, with q deep channel up
which, after he discovery of gold. sailing
vessels Of considerable tonnage made their
way from San Francisco. As the placer
mines were developed the Sacramento lost
its clearBess. After year of debriS-bcar-
ing the channel began u silt up. though so
gradually that no impedimeut was offered
to navigation. In 1859 hydraulic mining
began filling up the Sacramento river chaE-
nel and this year it has proceeded SO rap
idly that now there are only three feet of
water under the railroad bridges Steamers
can no longer ascend to the capital from
San Francisco, and Sacramento is threat
ened with loss OF her water cOmmunica-
ton. That means commercial decline.
The situation is serious. Remedial meas
ures thus far available, have failed, and nu
reliance can be placed upon litigation
Under the circumstances, there is a general
disposition 20 appeal for aid to the Federal
Government. Unless hydraulic mining
can be stopped, however, there Will be no
security in the future against the renewal
Of the adverse conditions which have al
ready almost ruined river navigation IN
California, and j, would seem necessary
that some assurance on this vital point
should be reached before the Federal Coy
ennent can be justified in Undertaking So
eXpensivca q work as the restoration Of ths
Sacramento TO a naVlgabe state.

Hope as a Remedial Measure.


1t is perfectly useless for us to at.
tempt to portray the influence that
"hope" exerts upon mankind. 1t is
proverbial fact that man without
hope in the fight for life is already hall
whipped. The sick man without hope
is desperately ill indeed, however slight
his physical ailment may be. 1t is
equally as true that there is a very
slight chance for the undertaken to be
benefited in the case of patient who
has no disposition or idea of dying.
The whole system-digestive, circu-
latory, and nervous-is directly under
the influence of the mind; and if we
will ever bear this in mind in treating
our cases, we will often have a more
potent remedy, easy of administration
and more pleasant to give and take
than anything foand in the country
doctors saddle bags, or upon the shelves
of our metropolitan pharmacists. Bad
news, grief, or sudden disappointment
has been known to reduce the circula-
tion to minimum, to cause a strong
man to become as helpless as a child,
and to arrest the process Of digestion
and assimilation as suddenly as if the
patients throat had been cut. Just the
reverse of this may be observed under
the influence of pleasant emotions and
the life-giving power of bright, heaven.

A New Narcotic.

Something worse than opium or
chloral is reported to the New York
Medical Society. Several city practi-
tioners found out that few persons
were using hyoscine to produce sort
of intoxication that resulted in pro-
found slumber. The drug is hydro
bromate, and has to limited extent
been used in medicine in lieu of afro
phine for relief in epilepsy and other
diseases of the nerves. 1t is obtained
from German plant, and is usually
on sale by German apothecaries in this
city. The supply has been small, and
the price about seventy-Gve cents
grain; but suddenly increased de,
mand nearly exhausted the stocks
and sent the price to dollar The
doses must be infnitesimal in order
not to be dangerous, and the peril OF
self-dosing lies in the liability to kill
by carelessly swallowing or hypoder-
mically injecting too much. The ex-
perimenters with it proved chiefly
to be medical students, drug clerks
and others acquainted with its sopori-
fic qualities. Hard drinkers employed
it to force sleep, and very nervous per-
sons drove off insomnia with it. In
order to test its effects, it has been
Systematically administered to thirty
six insane patients in the State Hos
pital for the Insane, by Drs. Langdon
and Peterson, who say that the effects
prove the very great danger of hyos-
cine eating. They found that it would
indeed compel sleep in most cases, but
that its habitual use would surely
bring muscular paralysis and delirium
of particularly violent sort. The
society will ak the Legislature to for.
bid the sale except on prescription

Houses in the Nafilnal Canifal.

1t is easy to obtain home in Wash
ington, because most of the real estate
agents will take small cash payment
and arrange the remainder of the debt
at low rate of interest-in some
cases as low as five per cent. Certain
lot holders have very great advan-
tage. Scattered throughout Washing
ton there is a very large number of lit
tie plots of ground which belong to
the public reservations. These bits of
parking are given up rent free to the
lot-owners. who build up close to
them. They have the practical use of
them for nothing. They can fence
them in, ornament them as they please,
and enjoy everything about them ex-

ers have--Neo York World.

Bathing in India.

The gospel of cleanliness is not for
India. Do begin to argue? l am
told that "a virtue of Gautama Buddha
was his dirty facer' And yet bath
is Hindoo's frequent practice. But
the use of mustard oil overbalances all
ablutions. A native always polishes
his skin with mustard oil before bath
ing. 1T prevents the water from en-
tering the blood through the skim"
Gauga tells me. 1t makes the pres.
ence of a native anything but agreea-
bic, for the amounting having greatly
diminished the power of the water,
the suns action upon the cutaneous
surface is such that the smell has act
ually the effect of running the health
of Europeans who have to inhale it for
many hours daily in the katcherries
and courts of law.

scrupulously observes the many wash

Peculiar Monuments.

There are great number of monu-
ments of kind peculiar to China, and
which alone would suffice to distinguish
this country from all others-namely,
triumphal arches erected to widowhood
or virginity.
When a girl will not marry, in Or
der that she may better devote herself
to the service of her parents, or if a
widow refuses to enter the marriage
state a second time, out of respect to
the memory of her deceased husband,
she is honored after death with espec-
ial pomp. Subscriptions are raised for
the erection of monument to her
virtue, to which all the relations, and
even sometimes the inhabitants of the
village or district where the heroine
has dwelt, contribute. These arches
are of wood or stone, covered with
sculptures, sometimes very well exc.
cuted, of flowers, birds and fabulous
animals. On the front is usually an
Inscription in honor of virginity or
widowhood, as the case may be; and
on the two sides are engraved in small
letters the virtue of the heroine in
question. These arches, which have a
very fine effect, are frequent along the
roads, and even in the towns. AT
Ning-Po, celebrated seaport in the
province of Tche eKiaug. there is a
large street entirely composed of such
monuments, all of stone, and of
most rich and majestic architecture

Electric Signalling by Balloons.

The idea of signalling by balloons
has been worked out by Mr.. Eric
Stuart Bruce, son of the late Gen.
Michael Bruce, and has been exhibited
in operation every evening at the AL
bert Palace, London. About 8 o'clock
a balloon twenty feet in diameter, and
containing 1000 cubic feet of gas, is
allowed to ascend to height of 500 feet
and is rendered visible by six incan-
descent lamps of twenty-candle power,
fed from battery on the ground. The
material of the balloon is translucent
cambria, and when the lamps are in
action the whole glows with a soft
light which is very noticeable, and in
clear atmosphere can be seen for miles.
In the conductors from the batteries
to the balloon there is inserted q
Morse key, by which the circuit can be
made and broken, and the lamps be
caused to give long and short flashes
corresponding to'the dash and dot of
the telegraph code. 1t can be used in
a Hat country, or between valleys sep
arated by low hills, instead of being
confined to elevated positions like the
hellograph: the balloon also shows a
large Illuminated disk in place of a
small mirror, and can be packed, to-
gether with its batteries. in a little
compass for transport Scientific
