The New York "iribuns" ON Northern
and Southern California.
iCoppi9it, 1855, by he California associated Press
New YORK, February 16th-In its re-
view of The California of the South by
Drs. Walter Lindley and ]. 2. Wedney, the
Tribune says; This is carefully, if en-
Enthusiastically, written hand book of South
ern California. The Tribune finds only
one fault with the book, in its assertion
that two distinct peoples are growing up in
Northern and Southern California, and that
the workings of natural laws will lead to a
separation of the two parts of the State. II
says: We do not think this statement
justified by the facts. 1t has been alleged
but in loose way, that the Southern Cali
fornia climate induced q sort of tropical
languor after residence for generation
but we do not believe any writer is war
ranted in asserting seriously that any real
difference has been manifested between the
Americans who live in the northern and
those who occupy the southern part of Cal
ifornia. The talk about separation is not
more to the point"

RANDALL AT WORK.
Outline of a Surplus-Reduction Bill to be
Presented.

Presented.
Copyig, 1855, by the California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, February 16th.-Repre-
sentative Randall is engaged in the prepa-
ration of tariff bill which he may offer as
substitute for the proposition that Mills,
Chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and his coadiutors are Matching out.
Mr.. Randall proposes TO include the Gus
toms duties and internal revenue tax as his
measure, and to make reduction of about
$50, ,OOO,0 600. taking the receipts for the year
ending June last as basis. This reduction
will be made by abolishing all taxes on to-
| bacco and fruit spirits, reducing the whisky
tax from 80 to 45 cents per gallon, and
abolishing certain special taxes.
These changes would result in reduc-
ton of about 100000 divided as fol-
lows Tobacco, $30,000,000 spirits distilled
from fruits, 81 100000 whisky. $50. GOO 900,
and the special tax, $1,000 600. The re-
mainder, $l7 100000, would be taken from
customs duties and would result mainly
from transfers from the duty to the free
list.
This is the basis on which the bill is be-
ing prepared. but the details may be
changed somewhat before it is presented,
and the measure will not of course be
brought forward until the bill of the WAYS
alid Means Committee is ready TO report
Aod perhaps not until after the House has
considered that measure, when it may be
offered as a substitute for the committee S
bill.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes in
eyltable. In many instances the inherent
strength of the body suffices to enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. MANY,
however, have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
other cases little aid to the weakened
lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful
life: Upon the first symptoms of cough,
cold or any trouble of the throat or lungs,
give that old and well-known remedy!
