From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
A drummer's life is not always
a pleasant one. A few days ago
one that travels fora Macon house
went to a certain town on the Cen
tral railroad to interview a mer-
chant that had failed, owing his
house $50. The merchants wife
keeps the only hotel III town. Be-
fore allowing the drummer to eat
dinner she made him pay, deter
mined that he should not offer as
set-off for the meal the $40 due
by her husband. The drummer
has not yet gotten over his dis
gust.
At the Union passenger depot,
Wednesday night, "a very fat
drummer jumped on the 1880
train for Savannah, and asked the
conductor if all the towns between
Macon and Savannah were "dry."
He received an affirmative answer.
Jumping off the train, the fat
drummer ran into q barroom and
bought a flask Of whisky. When
he returned the train had depart
ed. He wishes TO sue for dam
ages, but doesn't know whether
the train, the barkeeper, the whis-
key, or. himself is to blame, and
therefore liable. He will proba-

The Ranrer Of MenIfh-

The recent death Of W. II. Vanderbilt and the talk about his colossal fortune have set people to thinking on the sub feet of such great accumulation of mon- ey as he had made. and there has been some plain talk directed toward the point Of legislation against oyer accum- ulatIon. The Rev. Howard Crosby, of New York, IS the leader of this crusade. He argues that, II II can be proved that colossal fortunes are perilOus to the well-being of society. laws limiting for tunes would be perfectly just; and that such fortunes are" he says, "perIlous to society and the state Is proved priori. from the fact that they give s controlling political power to men not chosen by the people to exercise that bower. It Is a power to buy up Legislatures, to pur- chase Immunities for oulrRges, to defy public opinion and to make justice Im- possible. And It Is proved e pCsterIori. from inumerable examples iu the history of legislation n our own Country. where gigantic monopolies have been fosterel, to the oppression of the poor. and s system oi corners has been maintained 6y unrighteous laws and the failure Co pHSs righteous ones
 This being true, he argues:
 Illumination of personal wealth in degree IS as reasonable as limitation iu kInd. Where possession in kind is daI . serous. the law puts limits. Why should it not pu; limits where possession n de- gree Is dGugerCus: l cln not keep dy- namite in my house, ] can not sell gun powder, l can not keep pigs in my yard, can not own cholera or smallpox rags, 1 can not own a ricksty house. In al these cases the law will punish ne, and take away my property. And justly, because l am su injury to the commun- Ity in holding 1T, Now, if my holding Rn estate that is dangerous, from its vast ness. is forbidden by law, where Is the iniustIce? All that must be proved is it's danger. Laws should be made cautiously, and no mere iealously should find place in them"

The Flood.

The food at Los Angeles was unusually destructive. The storm seemed to have burst with terrible fury along the Sierra Maire and the San Fernando noun tains, and the waters rapidly concentra- ted through the various arroyOs and when they reached Los Angeles the flood was ike huge tidal wave. It struck the esst Los Angeles street cgr bridge just 8s Q street car was crossing lt early Tuesday morning, and took out bent or two, dumping the car into the water together with its two occupants, the driver and the horse. They stranded on a shoSl below the bridge and were res cued.
 The railroad bridge on the Southern Pacific railroad, just below, very soon followed in the wreck and from that point the waters spread over tLe densely populated low lands of the city, wreck ing houses and destroying gardens. fields and fences playing havoc with everything in it's path.
 The city water cOmpany's Gqueduct, above the city, WIS also badly damaged aLd Is some places utterly destroyed. The railroad bridge opposite Arroyo Seco was also badly wrecked. 4 Bum- be- of smaller bridges 10 the north hk5 wise suffered destruction.

The trains this way start from East Los Angeles. to which point tEe passengers are taken by wagon, crossing the river by the GOV cred bridge that leads to Boyle Flights.

Ethics of the land ouestson.

The Ethical Society, of Washington, was addressed recently by Charles Fred erick Adams upon "Some Thoughts on Political Economy" The particular branch treated was that which is relative to the pubic lands of the United States. The subject was treated in an exhaust i've manner, and showed the widest re- search. His conclusions were that wages of the working classes are regu- lated by the capitalists, in that those who control the means of labor will pay for such as it is beneficial to them; that the worker himself IS impotent in msk- ing such regulations. The question now before the American people is whether the public domain shall be giv- en away and sold to the present genera tion, in which event 1t would inevitably tend to concentration m the hands of q few, or held by the government for the benefit of all future generations. This end could be accomplished by the government controlling the lands, leas- ing and renting the same to individuals, the money realized going to diminish the amount of taxes levied on the people. This IS only one way of many m which  the land, instead of falling into the hands Of few, could be utilized to the good of the many. The French revolu- ton had taken the land from tue nObil- ity, which had become piled up in few ownerships under the fendal system, and had distributed it. It wss ques- ton whether the United States should act in time and prevent any danger Of such consequences. To continue the system of getting rid of the public land was like Esgu selling his birthright for mess of pottsge, without the excuse Uf hunger.
 The discussion which followed was in teresting. Some thought that to give the control of public lands in the hands of the government as recommended would be attended with even more dan gerous consequences than letting few individuals have the ownership, while others agreed wIth the speaker.

Restoration After Death.

Is restoration of life to the dead to crowD the scientific achievements of this century: Several noted savans of Europe agree that life may be restored after actual death, in many cases, and they are now experimenting with a view to prove 1t. By combining arti- iicIsl circulation with artificial respiration, a dog was restored ito life sn hour and five minutes after hay ing been killed when the heart was still and cold, and the limbs were becoming rigid. Poisoned frogs were restored to life after being dead nine days and when putrifaction had begun. The ei- feet of peroxide of hydrogen in starting the blood and restoring heat to a really dead body is startling. and distinguish ediphysicisn sfirms that ga drowned or suifocsted man is not hopelessly dead so long as .he bodily organs remain un- injured by violence or diseHse, and the blood remains sufficiently liquid to be set in motion artIfcially ard supplied with little oxygen to'stsrt the chemical movements of life" Now let the hope tul theorists give some results of their practice on human beings.0Frank Les lies Weekly.

Where HeIp Is Needed.

 Pardon me while l deal plainly with some of your brethren of the quill A bill was recently introduced ID Con gress to provide for raising troops on the frontier Co suppress the renegade Indians. The counties of Graham and COchise, which have suffered so much by these fiends, expected all Territorial papers to support the bill, but outside of Cochise and Graham counties many of the Territorial papers published to the world tbat Gen. Crook had the h. dians nearly cOrraled, and the Tucson Star of the r. instant stated, in speaking of the renegade h. dians. Their destruction is only q question of few weeks" when every man, woman and child of Graham and Cochise counties certainly knew such a statement to be false. There were more people murdered by these red devils during the month of December than any month since their outbreak, Tn Msy erous and bOldsr now than ever OtLOItt hlu ouA uLAr AcA protection is in the strong arm of the brave and chivalrous frontiers man. That bill may be defeated; If SO, the coming sprng and summer will no doubt be bloody one in Our history. But let come what will, there is one thing We all should dc-thst IS, discard from our homes and firesides those infamous, ly- ing papers that are publishing to the world, at the time We are asking for aid that the renegade Indians are being cor raled, and that their destruction IS only s question of few weeks. Fslse repre- sentations made Tn the Territory do us much more injury in Washington than if they were made in the Eastern States. We have had many of our friends and best citizens murdered, and should not recognize, tolerate nor sustain men or measures that are disposed to sport with our misfOrtunes.
