Early Odd Fellowship in Sacramento
Installation of officers.
Odd Fellowship has large mem bership
in this city, and the Temple at Ninth and
K streets is an ornament to Sacramento.
1t has always been one of the strongest
secret societies in the city. Their deeds of
mercy during the terrible scenes that took
place in the autumn of 40 shed luster
over their actions that should never be
effaced from the memory of man. The
record of SO much disinterested benevo-
lence should not be left to the uncertain
and capricious grasp of recollection. With
no hope of reward but that never perishing,
soulinspiring satisfaction that raises its
empire in the breasts of men imbued with
the true spirit of philanthropy, these men
went out among pestilence and DEATH that
spread itself broadcast, to the relief of their
suffering fellow men. DIR. Morse, in his
sketch of early Sacramento, says: From
this association an immense and immeas-
urable amount of relief was dispensed.
Men had sickened and died without assist
ance. The first lights of effective charity
that cleaned upon the despairing visions
of hundreds of homeless and houseless
sufferers, went up from the altar fires of
this glorious brotherhood"

The Elixir of Life.

Whether or not it is the elixir of
life that was the dream of medieval
ages, DR.. Brown-Sequard seems to
have made valuable discovery.
DR.. William A. Hammond, the en-
inent physician, is making a trial of
DR.. Brown-Sequard's elixir, and is
equally astonished and gratified with
its results. The distinguished French
man procured his material from a
guinea pig, whereas DR.. Hammond
took the lamb for his use, which he
believes to be superior to any other
animal for the purpose to which he
has put it. This material he places
in a mortar pounds to a pulp, and,
adding water, distills an essence which
is administered to the patient by a
hypodermic injection. His subject
is an old man, who is decrepit to an
extreme degree. The treatment is
exceedingly simple, and consist of
an injection in the patients leg every
other day. The patient has already
shown signs of returned vitality that
seem Incredible, this change having
been marked on the third day after
the application of the elixir was first
made. The experiment will not be
completed for number of weeks to
come, but the present outlook is that
it will be eminently successful.
1t is highly improbable that this
discovery any discovery that
will ever be made-will greatly length
en- the span of human life for the hum
machine will wear out just as do ma
an chimes of iron and steel /; but even if
the new elixir will preserve the tissues
and keep alive the vital forces for
a brief season, it is a truly wonder
ful discovery and one of inestimable
value.

A Season of Deluges.

The New York Tribune complies
an interesting list of the disaters by
flood that have made the present sea-
son SO memorable. At the head of
the list stands, of course, the disas-
ter in the Conemaugh Valley which
was the most notable so far as de-
vastation is concerned, and also,
perhaps, in the actual downpour,
which, over the Alleghanies, exceed
ed eight inches of water in forty
eight hours. Next in rank, as meas
ured by money loss (over 81 ,0OO, ,OOO)
was the torrent which fell upon Chi
cago the other Saturday; the amount
of rain there, over four inches in
four hours, beating the record in that
city for twenty years. The cloud
burst near Johnstown, n. Y, July
8, the inundation of Uniontown and
Belletown, Kan, June II, Widespread
ruin of crops, and destruction of
homes i'm Northern Texas, July /,
extensive washouts near Kansas City,
May II, the submerging of the treas
ure vaults at Washington, July 1, a
fall of five inches of rain at Daven-
port, Iowa, in six hours, July ID,
and if one may believe the local pa
per, of eleven inches in seven hours
at Linden, Tenn, the same day and
night, are only few items in an
astonishing succession of cloudbursts,
tornadoes and local electrical storms
which are without precedent in re-
cent years in the regions visited.
Nearly every State this side of the
Missouri river, and even Colorado
and Oregon, have contributed to the
score. After making all proper dis
counts, the general fact remains that
this is an unusual season in respect
to the number and intensity of these
disturbances.
Abroad, the season has also been
a remarkable one. Many houses in
Berle-Due, Department of the Meuse,
France, were undermined, and crops
and vineyards over wide areas near
by were wasted by an overflow of
the river June 2l In Hong Kong,
on May 29 and 80, the time when
Johnstown, Penn, met her fate,
twenty-nine and a half inches of
rain fell in thirty-three hours, wreck
ing hundreds of houses, impairing
the city water works, destroying
property valued at 100000, and
leaving the place looking as il il
were the victim of an earthquake
while three days later, seven OF
eight days villages in the Chang Ping
and Ping Yuen districts of China
were annihilated by a "water-drag-
on" which covered a wide stretch oi
level country to the depth of thirty
six feet and drowned 5000 people.

The Behring Sea Seizure.

The recent seizure of the British
sealer sBlack Diamond" by the
United States revenue cutter ssRush,
in the waters of the Behring Sea, has
awakened not little excitement IN
Canada, and brings up the question
of Jurisdiction with fresh interest.
The seizure was in pursuance OF
President Harrlson's Proclamation
and of orders issued by the Govern
ment at Washington.
What the President has officially
done is to obey the imperative order
of Congress in regard to the Behring
Sea. Congress, when giving this
order, undoubtedly understood that
the Government of the United States,
having purchased Alaska Territory
from Russia, had claimed exclusive
Jurisdiction over what is known as
Behring Sea, and meant to assert
and enforce this claim. Whether
this claim is just one or not is
question of international law in part,
and in part a question of geography.
If Behring Sea is so land-locked as,
under the rule of international law,
to be included in the Territory of
Alaska, then the claim is just. If,
on the other hand, this be not the
fact, and if this sea be part of the
Pacific Ocean beyond the distance
of marine league from the shore OF
Alaska Territory, then the claim can
not be maintained in consistency
with the established principles of IN
ternational law. The action of the
Government will, of course, lead to
a diplomatic correspondence between
Great Britain and the United States.

rules of international law in applica-
ton thereto: and the end will be 9

without any belligerent attitude on
either side. 1t is the sheerest non
sense to talk about fighting over this
affair. A peaceful adjustment viii
be the issue thereof. Any other is
sue is hardly within the limits of the
supposable.

The Postmaster-Ge and the
Telegraph.

Postmaster-Ge General Wanamaker'
reply to the spokesmen of the Tele-
graph Trust will be apt to convince
the stipendiaries of that odious mo-
nopoly that they are not dealing with
q novice in administration. DIR.
Norvin Green, condensing the venal
pleas of his subsidized organs, made
bold to declare that his monopoly ac-
knowledged no material concession
from the people of the United States,
which justify the latter in exactlng
something in return. Swollen with
the pride of possession, Norvin Green
denies that the free use of every
highway in the Union, the streets OF
our great cities and other muniments
accruing therefrom, are legitimate
possessions of his company. Mr..
Wanamaker has merely to enumerate
the spoilation practiced by this COR
poration since 1866 to convict Nor
vim Green of-let us say-misrepre-
sentation of facts. AS return for
the millions accorded the company,
the plea is made that in cases of pub
lie distress the lines are placed at the
service of the public gratis-or at
merely nominal rates. Possibly this
is true, but the benefaction does not
come out of the pockets of the cor
poration. 1t is squeezed from the
earnings of the employees of the COM
pany. Will Mr.. Green or the apollo
gists of his pillaging corporation
point out year when the dividends
of the stockholders have been dimin-
ished by these charitable spasms of
the company? Step by step, the
answer of Mr.. Wanamaker follows
the erroneous assertions of the
mouthpiece of monopoly. He points
out that when messages were delIv-
cred at the rate of ten cents word
that the Western Unions earnings
5 mate a handsome profit, and that in
order to make twenty or twenty-five
cents seem fair rate, the enormous
expense of buying up competing lines
and holding superfuous plants are
made to figure as part of the operat-
ing expenses
There is no large number of peo-
pie in this country favorable to the
communistic last resort of a govern
ment telegraphic system, but it may
we'll be that the arrogance and greed
of these tolerated pillagers will con-
vince the majority that of the two
evils, Government control of the tel
egraphic system is necessary to pro-
tect the people from continued plum
dering.

ter-G eneral Wanamaker in the stand
he has taken. He has displayed in

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR.
Washinqton, august 5,

Washington. august D,
The census of 1870 was taken by
the United States marshals under
the direction of superintendent who
worked under the Secretary of the
Interior. AS the marshals were en-
ployees of the department of Justice,
the confusion was very great. The
act of 1879, which governed the CEN
sus taking of 1880, and will with
few notifications apply to that of
1890, was properly the work of
James A. Garfield, Representative
Cox, General Francis A. Walker
and Eugene Hale. 1t provides for
the centering of the work at Wash
ington and the enumerations by per-
sons who are soley appointed, except
the supervisors, by the superintend-
ent of the census.
The house to house count will COM
mence on the first Monday of next
June, and will involve inquiries as
to ages sex, nativity, race, physical
condition, and a dozen other things.
Forty thousand enumerations will be
in the 175 census districts, and for
each of these districts the president
will in February appoint a super
visor, who will receive $125 per
month, and in addition thereto 81 90
for every 1000 of the population in
thickly settled districts and LAO In
others. The enumerations will be
paid two cents for every inhabltant,
birth and death reported; twenty
cents for each farm, and thirty cents
for each factory recorded, and for
every veteran of the late war five
cents. In addition to these out door
employees there are many special
agencies which are very coy places
| for the friends of statesmen, involv-
ING little labor and no expenditure
of ideas, the duties being merely to

fair to last forever. There was even
a volume devoted to forest trees, and
two volumes of long winded essays
on social subjects. 1t was a dump

new census will attempt to be less
ambitious, though the projectors of
the census of 1880 made the same
promise.

and / would not be surprised to learn
that specimens of his youthful pen

Sullivan, the prize fighter-who is
also a drunkard, a wife-beater and
general bully-has been arraIgned
for his recent fight with kilrain IN
that state. The highest punishment
of his crime, as provided by law, is
Imprisonment for one year and
fine of a thousand dollars. He may,
however, be simply fined not more
than one thousand dollars, and not
less than five hundred dollars. There
will be no difficulty in proving the
commission of the crime; and it is
to be hoped that the court trying
him will, upon his conviction, give
him the highest punishment provided
for by law. Merely to fine him
would be inadequate to the demands
of the case, and have but little effect
in putting a stop to prize-fghtlng IN
this country. Governor Lowdry de-
serves the thanks of all the people
for his persistent pursuit of Sullivan
in the effort to bring him to justice.
Let him now take the same course
toward Kilrain and the hackers and
abettors of both, and bring them all
to Justice and the prize-fighting fra
ternity in this country will be taught
a very useful and important lesson.
1t is very simple matter tc
put an end to this disgusting and
demoralizing brutality. All that is
needed is proper legislation followed
