REC0RD-UNION" MELANGE.
Ex-Empress Carlotta, of Mexico, has re-
covered her mind, and will soon reappear
in society.
Boss Buckley has sold his saloon bust
ness IN San Francisco, and hereafter will
be able to devote his entire time to expe-
dItIng matters in the Supreme Court.
Sacramento still maintains her prestige
for GOODNESS over Keller. Yesterday morn
ing the cool end of the thermometer at the
latter place registered $40, while Sacra-
mentans were whipping their hands to get
them acclimated to a refreshing tempera-
ture of 400.
1t is announced that Emperor William
has pardoned poet on account of failing
health. The crime for which he was i'm
prisoned is not stated, but il is supposed ne
had been convicted of writing spring poetry,
and that Germany includes that offense
under the head of felony.
1t suggested that the playing of Dixie"
should not be offensive to loyal ears-as il
frequently seems to be-for it will be re-
membered that Mr.. Lincoln requested to
have ii played when he was serenaded after
the surrender of Lee, on the ground that
the Union forces had captured il along
with the other Confederate effects.
The women OF Japan have been recently
showing their devotion and selEsacrifice in
quite an interesting way A Buddhist
temple is TO be erected at Kioto costing
$4,000 900. The women have contributed
heir hair, out of which ton of rope has
been made, the rope to be used for hauling
timber to the site of the temple. Such de-
vOtion in the interest of the Christian re-
ligion would win universal respect and
brook no opposition to success.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat has this
piece of adroitly-mixed commentator and
centeT-thrust: we are glad to see the ex-
posures of Governor Hill as a partner of
William NJ. Tweed which are being made
by the Tribune and 7IlEeS, of New York
But it is sad to think that all these things
were equally true of Governor Hill three
years ago, when the Tribune and Times
were supporting him as candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor, 10 defeat the Repub-
lican ticket headed by Mr.. Folger"
If the Supreme Court decides that San
Francisco need not comply with the order
of the State Board of Equalization, to raise
her assessment roll 12l per cent, of course
| the other counties which received similar
| order TO increase their assessments, will
! also refuse to do so. Following this action,
! the counties which have heretofore been
raised will at once proceed to reduce their
rolls to former figures, in which case Sacra-
| mentO county would be relieved to the ex-
tent of 10 per cent. 1t hardly seems prob
able that this Will be the outcome of the
case now pending in the Supreme Court.
| 1t will undoubtedly be decided to-day.

1t is estimated that as many as 800 car
| loads of fruit have been shipped overland
| from California the present season. This
may be little in excess of the actual
amount, but it is known that one firm in
| Sacramento has forwarded over 300 car
loads. Eighteen hundred cars would nj axe
q train of eleven and half cars each dav
for full six months, with Sundays excepted
from the shipping days. If the fruit ship
ments of the present season have amounted
to such tonnage at the rate charged per
car for freight, there would be three times
the amount shipped next yeal with trans.
! portation fixed at $500 per car, running on
| passenger time. That would make at least
two heavy fruit trains per day, and the
| benefit to be reflected in the financial con-
| dition of the State from such an increase
of fruit shipments would be beyond COM
| putation, not only among fruit-growers
and shippers, but in every industry and
avenue of trade.
Two Cinnamon, captured at the tan game
| in Chinatown, which was raided some time
I since by battering in the doors, were sen
fenced yesterday by Judge Murphy, who
occupiePhe bench in place of Judge Van
Fleet. They were required to pay fine OF
$50 each, which they quickly did and de-
parted. In passing sentence, the Judge
warmly Endorsed the anti-gambling law
and the successful efforts in Sacramento to
sustain it. The attorney for defendants
stated to the Court in mitigation of the
| ofIense of defendants, that had they not
| pleaded guilty, he would have shown by
| testimony that the room was built and
| the game conducted on the suggestions and
| assurances made by white men" There is
| probably no doubt of this fact, and the only
| cause for regret is that their names were
| not given, SO they could have been pub
| lished beside those OF the Cinnamon who
received sentence, and that they might also
| have been convicted and imprisoned for an
extended exemplary term, for aiding and
| abetting the commission of crime.
The proceedings of the anniversary of
the American Board of Foreign Missions
has attracted attention among secular Jour
mails of Boston that is phenomenal among
| newspaper men. The Jotandl-which no
one will accuse of being religious paper
at the opening gave full notice in the
regular issue, and added full-sized sup
plement, almost wholly devoted to the
members present in the city. On the 14th
it gave a nine-column report of the pro-
ceedings. On the 18th it crowned the
whole by issuing an extra edition of six
pages, five of which were given up to the
addresses and reports of the Board. The
Advertiser was hardly behind the Journal in
the enterprise, devoting large proportion
of its space throughout the week to this
object. This State will take long step
forward when the populace demand fuller
publication concerning efforts at moral
reforms and shorter accounts of cock-fghts
and bruising n atches. 1t is interesting to
consider whether or not, should the Board
hold its session, asis expected, in San Fran
cisco in 1887, if it would be characterized
by some journal of Western enterprise as a
g Religious Pow-Wow."
