There are two varieties of London po-
lice The city of London proper is in
area about the size of Washington Qeav-
ing out the southwest division of the ma
tional capital.) The police in this sec
ton, called the city police, are in charge
of commissioner with the military
rank of lieutenant colonel in the army.
His-office is at 26 Old Jewry-called thus
because it is the part of the city that was
the Jewish quarter under King Charles
1. The salary of this official is SO, 600
year, and he has under him one chief,
one. head of detectives, twelve inspectors
of the equivalent to the American cap
tain, fourteen sergeants of the first-class
(whom we would call ieutenants, sixty
eight sergeants, and S04 men.
The metropolitan police of London,
which controls practically a city thirty
miles long and fifteen miles wide, is a
small army corps. 1t grew into its pres
ent magnitude under Sir Richard Mayne,
who died few years ago. The head of
this force is Col. Sir Edmund Henderson,
K. G. B., royal engineers, and besides his
pay as an officer of the English army he
receives $10,500 a year as commissioner
of police. Hehas under him three assist
ant commissioners, lieutenant colonels in
the army, who receive $500 a year.
These officials are appointed by the home
secretary in the cabinet, and the places
are held to be very desirable. The force
proper consists of a superintendent, with
twenty-four assistants holding the COR
relative rank Of major), 626 inspectors
Captains of precincts), 113O sergeants,
and about $4,000 men rank and file, with
a battalion mounted, about 300 strong, !

$S40 per month in our money. The effect |

witnessed the various bloody and un-
successful attacks on the hornets nest
During one of the dreadful repulses of
our forces, Gen. Bragg directed me to
ride forward to the central regiment of a
brigade of troops that was recoiling
across an open field to take its colors and
carry them forward. %The flag must not
go back again" he said. Obeying the
order dashed through the line of battle,
seized the colors from the color-bearer.
and said to him: ~Gen, Bragg says these
colors must not go to the rear" While
talking to him the color-sergeant was
shot down. A moment or two afterward
was almost alone on horseback in the
open field between the two lines of
battle.
An officer came up to me with bullet
hole in each cheek, the blood streaming
from his mouth, and asked: What are
you doing with my colors, sir?" II am
obeying Gen, Bragg's orders, sir, to hold
them where they are" was my reply.
@Let me have them," he said. "H any
man but my color-bearer carries these
colors, am the man, Tell Gen. Bragg

right place. But he must attack this
position in flank; we can never carry it
alone from the front" 1t was Col.
Allen, afterward Governor Allen, of
Louisiana. 1 returned, miraculously
preserved, to Gen, Bragg, and reported
Col. Aliens words. 1 then carried an
order to the same troops, giving the
order think to Gen. Gibson, to fall back
to the fence in the rear and reorganize.
This was done, and then Gen. Bragg dis
patched me to the right, and Col. Frank
Gardner (afterward major generaD to the
left, to inform the brigade and division
commanders on either side that a COM
bined movement would be made on the |
front and flank of that position. The |
movements were made and Prentiss was

The Monument sways with the sun.

At the meeting of the Washington
Monument society, Col. Casey made some
interesting statements to the members in
regard to his observation of the habits of
the monument, for it appears that the
great obelisk is a moving, if not a living
thing, and that it has regular swaying
motion when the sun is shining upon it.
On every bright day the apex of the
monument moves at least one inch west
ward in the morning when the suns rays
first fall upon it, and eastward again in
the afternon when the sun reaches the
western side The heat of the suns rays
have an expansive effect upon the
mason, and the plummet that is sus-
pended in the interior of the monument
registers this movement from day to day.

oysters saId to Promote lleaIIn.

Raw oysters before breakfast are now
indulged in by many people who believe
this process promotes and enhances
health. This is a belief in which some
medical men coincide. 1t is related Of the
celebrated DIR Leroy that he was in the
habit of swallowing two dozen raw oys-
ters every morning before breakfast, and
used TO say to his friends, presenting them
with the shells: SThere, behold the foun-
dation of my youthful strengthP-San

Alarm-clocks, as is well known, after
q time lose their power over a sleeper
and fail to awake him, since he becomes
accustomed to the noise. To remedy this
defect an ingenious inventor has added
a cylinder, the base filled with com
pressed air and the remaining space with
cold water. A perforated tin tube is at
tached, which is pointed in the direction
needed. When the alarm bell goes off
the pressure of air is relieved and the
water in the cylinder is driven out
through the perforated tube over the
head of the sleepec, who is sure to
be awakened by the shower-bath.

The Economy of using EIectricitv.

Engineer Zacharias, of Berlin, delivered
an address the other day before the Elec.

electric street-cars over horse-cars. He
said that in line running sixty-cars the
annual saving, If electricity were used,
would be $4,000. An electric wagon can
overcome an ascent of l. Is, can easily get
around curves, can be run twice as fast as
a horse-car, viii be free from heat, smoke

The Outcome Of Assiduous Care

When the late Charles Matthews was
playing in Melbourne fifteen years ago
he received what he considered the high
est compliment of his professional ca
reer. A little girl in the audience was
asked by her friends at the conclusion of
performance how she was pleased, to
which she replied: II didn't care for Mr..
Matthews acting bit; he just walked
up and down the stage as papa walks up
and down she dining-room at home" It
is the fact of this appearance of perfect
spontaneity in the highest art, being
really the outcome of the most assiduous
care, that renders it so truly inimitable
and the counterfeit so easy Of detection.
The @round o of Giotto" was only per

to execute it with simple sweep of the

Ruskin tells us in one of his treaties on
landscape painting that in some of the
greatest works of genius an effect which
is almost magical at the proper focal dis
tance is conveyed by what appears, to
the uninstructed eye and viewed close at
hand, to be a mere dash of loaded color,
but which in reality could not be added
to or diminished by the smallest par
ticle without detracting from the effect.

Appreciation of the California Redv

Appreciation of the California Redwood.
The value for manufacturing and fin
ishing purposes of the richly grained red
wood of California is beginning to be ap-
preciated, though not, it would seem,
until after immense quantities of it have
been diverted to unnecessary uses. Until
recently the rich, curley bird's-eye and
other peculiarly rAsrked species were cut
for ghIumber and the softer, straight
grained kinds being so much more easy
TO work, less liable to shrink endwise,
and not so liable to split in mailing, were
the favorite material for building and
other purposes for which redwood was
used, to the exclusion of the wavy and
peculiarly grained varieties included in
the first-class redwood list,
Thus trees or logs indicating the very
features now so priced in redwood have
been used in prodigious quantities, sim
ply because OF their size and strength;
but it is now a matter of special interest
to builders and artisans that, for richness
and popularity of grain, the redwood
is excelled only by the finest Of costly
hard wood. The shrinking endwise is
special to this wood, but does not extend
beyond thorough seasoning. &C Chicago

A WAY TO MAKE SOME CHINESE 90.

In their interview with the TIMES
man, last Saturday, the representa-
tives of the Chinese of Wood River
claimed that their fellow pigtails
owned property in Haley valued at
about $4,000, in Ketchum at $l2,-
600, and in Bellevue at over $4,000, or
total of $4,000. If they told the
truth, they must then have been
guilty of perjury when they swore to
their returns to the Assessor, last sum-
mer, as Hon. Frank Ganahl minated,
ut the meeting last Saturday evening.
when he read off list of Chinese
taxpayers whose total taxes for 1885
only amounted to s10S.50. From
these figures it is evident that the
Chinese have either failed to pay their
taxes like good citizens or that they
have no such amount of property as
they claim to have.

all classes Of the community by in

that may prove of great assistance in
Kidding ourselves of the leprous Mon

they undoubtedly committed per

for the crime. If, on the other hand
the sum total of their property doe
not exceed the amount upon which
they paid taxes, $4,000 would cove
it all, and-something very impreba

amount which Alturas county would
