The August Mnteors.

The August nights from the 5th to the
18th will be enlivened by the display OF
meteors which are sure to descend through
the atmosphere in greater or less numbers.
The meteors, as is we'll known. come from
the great meteor zone whose perihelion
zone is on the earth's orbit, and whose
aphelion exists beyond the bounds of
Neptune, the most distant planet in the
solar system. The earth, about the 10th,
plunges through the zone, the meteors are
set on fire by the conclusion of the earth's
atmosphere and descend in the form OF
shooting stars. The radiant point of the
August meteors is in the constellation Per-
seus, and they are therefore called Persids.
Perseus rises on the 10th in the northeast
about 8 o'clock, and observers who watch
the sky in that direction will be rewarded
by the sight of several hundred meteors as
the hours of night pass on. Many of them
will be brilliant and as large as stars OF the
first magnitude, and many OF them will
leave trails of luminous yapor lasting sew
eral seconds.

The Founding.

The parenfage of the infant found in the
vacant lot at Third and S streets has moi
yet been definitely determined, though the
authorities are satisfied that they have dis
covered who both his parents are. Chief
Lee and City Physician Parkinson yester-
day called to see the child and also paid a
visit to the Young woman who is supposed
10 be its mother. As they entered the front
door a young man who is suspected of be-
ing the father Of the infant, was seen to
leave the back door.
Yesterday afternoon an old gentleman
named Neal applied to Chief Lee for per-
mission to take the child and adopt it. He
and his wife live alone, have no children,
and are possessed of plenty of this worlds
goods, and were delighted when consent
was given. They live near the place where
the infant was found, have fine Jersey
COW, and the youngster will receive all the
care and attention that can be bestowed

FELL IN THE RIVER.
Two Men Take Cola Tumble in One
Night.

| Night.
About midnight on Wednesday Free
Glatz and William Hildebiand brough
into the station-house man named Henry
Bernard, whom they had fished out of the
river few moments before at the foot o.
K street. They were passing and hearing
cries for help they ran out on the wharf
and succeeded in Iescuing the man when
he was about exhausted. Bernard said he
had been drinking and did not know how
he came to get into the river, but he re-
membered that after he fell in he sank
twice before he was rescued
Soon after Bernard had been slowed
away by Sergeant Rowland another man
appeared at the door dripping from head to
foot, and with terrible cut on the top of
his head, from which the blood flowed
freely. He gave his name as John Mylet,
and said that he had just got out of the
river near the railroad bridge. He had
been drinking considerable beer, and had
no idea how he got in the river, or how he
received the wound on his head. 1t had
evidently been inflicted by some blunt in
strument, or he had fallen heavily against
something. The City Physician was sum-
moned and sewed up the wound, after
which Mylet was put to bed. He bad been
stopping at the Mechanics Hotel and was
q stranger in town.

Clear and Pure CITY Water.

EDS. RECORD UNION: notice by an item
in the Bee that the Mayor says he will not
permit any experimenting at the city's
expense for obtaining supply of pure,
clear waller from wells while he is mem
Der Of the Board of Trustees This is
economical, and at the same time brings
forcibly 10 mind constant observations
bearing upon the question of pure water
for domestic use. The Mayor is correct
when he says we have a running river in
front of rs which supplies US with an
abundance of water. | 90 up the river
weekly; one week on the Yolo side and
the next week on the opposite side, as far
as Eisherman's lake. On my trip Satur-
day last with an excursion party, we dis
covered near the Tombstone ranch four
dead animals in the river-one ccw, two
horses and one colt, and the stencil from
them was sickening. This, with sewage
from the Folsom Prison, as also from the
towns on the rivers tributary to the Sacra-
mento river might naturally prejudice US
from drinking Sacramento water, particu-
larly il its low state.
Economy is good thing, especially
when applied in healthy direction, but
when it IS applied TO efforts for procuring
an abundant supply of sparkling, pure
water, for the benefit of the people and
reputation of the city, and is disregarded
when funds for public blow-outs and fire
works are wanted, the gate leading to the
Temple of Inconsistency is slightly ajar.

THE WEALTH OF FLOWERS
That Made the Hotel a Bower of
ReaUty

Tht florists had been given carte blanche
in the matter of decoration, and the result
was perfect triumph of floral art. The
electrician of the hotel had been called into
service, and the parlor floor glittcred
with incandescent lights, subdued by
bells of colored glass of every conceivable
hue. The wires were swung into graceful
curves above the arches. doorways and the
panels of the corridor. and were there hid
den beneath the dainty covering of smilaX.
From every corner arose pyrimid OF tropi-
cal plants and ferns. Century plants stood at
the rail corners; cacti lifted their heads here,
and magnolia grandifOra there. The rail
of the grand stairway was trimmed
with smilax and flowers, and the
bannisters above buried in similar
ornamentation. Over every doorway was
set piece of rarest flowers. Many OF them
were a combination of lilies of the valley and
Marshal Mel roses, shining through which
was the dark, glossy background OF mag
nolia. Tall Gala lilies nodded their heads
above profusion of rare eXotics on the
colors over beds of snow-white flowers
in the parlor corners. At intervals about the
walls were pieces to represent swinging
baskets, the basket portion consisting OF a
fragment mass of flowers, while strings Of
smilax swung from the ceiling. Flowers
were everywhere that taste could dispose OF
them, and wreaths of smilaX dropped from
every point Imaginable. The air was heavy
with the rich fragrance. In It's entirety 1t
was undoubtedly the most complete and eX-
tensiVe decoration the hotel ever knew, and
gave evidence at every turn of lavish wealth
expended.
