The Barber and the BoyeOtt.

Barber-Yes, this boycotting is great
thing. It never did any good to BARRIERS,
though, because our union was not
founded on the right plan; but it's the
strongest union on the globe now.

in that. Get through some time to-day,

As to WhiSkerS.

Two fallacies are in vogue regarding the
whisker question. One is that a thin
faced man should support side whiskers
to widen his face; the other that round
faced fat man should favor long chin
whiskers to lengthen his face. Both are
adopted on the condensation and anti
dote principle, but are wrong as wrong
can be. A man with sharp chin exposed
is thin and appears thin in spite oe his
burnsides. And moon shaped man
gives himself humorous and clownish
appearance by wearing a long, sharp
tuft on his chin. The principle OF
conformity should be observed and g
wholesale change made. A thin man, fol
instance, should not wear chin whiskers
no whiskers at all, or beard. He no

Calculating the Size of the Earth.
EXCHANGE.

The earlier attempts at calculating the
size of the globe were based on astrOno
mical observations. 1t would be difficult
to-day to say within what degree of ac-
curacy the figure then obtained could
have been relied upon, as the units of
measurement used by those pioneers
have been lost, and could not have been
compared with the units now in use.
One of the earlier attemp pts at obtain
ing the actual length OF the earth's meri-
dian by direct measurement of portion
of the same was made in the sixteenth
century by a French doctor. The means
employed, although very ingenious,
would be considered perfectly clumsy
and inadequate by the modern scientist.
There was in this early measurement no
attempt at mathematical precision as
understood in the present century, and
considering the simplicity of the method
employed by the doctor, it is only to be
wondered that no greater error was OBJ
tanned in its final result. The measure
ment consisted simply in driving from
Paris to Amiens, and counting the revol-
utions of the wheels of the carriage, and
from the number Of revolutions of the
wheels of the carriage, obtain the dis
lance between the two cities, which could
serve as the basis for calculating the
length Of the meridian. Of course this
calculation could not by any means be
considered accurate, but, taking into &C
count the means employed, the result OBJ
tanned has been subsequently found to be
wonderfully precise.
The most curious thing about it is
that what would now be considered grave
errors and inexactitudes were so dIStribu-
ted that they almost compensated each
other and the dimensions then obtained
show only slight differences with the
dimensions given by the most recent
measurements, Thus chance and no
better name could be found permitted
of the same results, with only
a small final error, being obtained with
that crude method, that are now obtained
with the most precise instruments and
with the most complicated calculations

and he issued the warrant more especially
because 1t was asserted that the defendant
was going to leave the city by the morning
train. To have refused the warrant under
such circumstances might have been great
injustice

be removed from her present surroundings

responded that she was now married TO her

self-explanatory Referring to dispatches

is an error. The Sunset route is receiving

been adjusted, that the strike is at an end.

A Drummer's Misconduct.

On the 9th instant Paul Bloomingthall, a
San Francisco drummer, hired from A. S.
Peterson of that city a horse and buggy,
stating that he was going to canvass in the
adjoining counties, and would be gone a
week or ten days About the time that he
should return, if working according to pro-
gramme, Mr. Peterson heard something
which led him to believe that all was not
right and he concluded to investigate As
a result he learned that Bloomingthall had
come to Sacramento, instead of visiting the
country near San Francisco, and had sold
the horse and buggy to H. H. King, of this
city. Mr.. Peterson came to Sacramento,
and last evening went to see Mr. King at
his residence, Twenty-sixth and n streets,
accompanied by officer Ash, and found
that he had been correctly informed as to
the property having been sold, Mr. King
having bought it and received bill of sale
on the Sth inst, three days after Blooming
thall hired ihe turnout. The price was
$3.50, of which sum he paid down $125,
giving his note for the balance. Mr. King
is hardworking man, who is fixing up
comfortable little home, and he can i'll
afford to lose the money The drummer is
thought to have taken his departure for the
East. He owed Peterson a livery bill of
$44 prior to his last patronage.

Mrs. Lewis, Concert.

Mrs. Fleissner-Lewis' concert at the Con-
gregational Church last night drew fair
audience. The programme was varied and
interesting. The programme was not cal
culated to awaken much enthusiasm, and
was therefore not demonstratively received.
But Mrs. Lewis was complimented by sin
cere encores, rs also was Miss Gertie Carley
and Miss Louisa kaibel. The first. a pupil
of Mrs. Lewis is a young girl, but has a
surprisingly sweet and sympathetic
voice that is full of promise. She
possesses the chief essential of a singer
power of expression, absence Of conscious
ness of her effort; she evidently feels what
she sings. and this quality is rare one.
Miss Kaibel Is violinist of decided merit
Her bowling is admirable. For so Young a
person she. plays with accuracy and her
selections were clearly marked bv feeling
and were thus truly expressive Mrs.
Lewis sang with her usual excellence.
Professor FleisSner gave three organ solos,
the ottertoire and improvisation being fine
examples and marking the programme as
gems. Miss G. Gerrish gave piano solo of
difficult character, in a manner testifying
to excellence of execution and ability Mr..
G. Ran, new baritone, sang twice. He
has good voice, brt is unused to the con
cert stage, and nuf1les his tones EXP ri
ence will teach him the necessity of the
open mouth in singing. His voice is of
too good quality to be buried in the
throat. Miss Hermina Fleissner played a
piano solo acceptably her execution being
especially good The floral tributes to the
ladies were many and very rich. A gen
eral criticism of the concert would be lust
that there was too little warmth and lack
of expression, except in the instances
named.
