DE CITY IMPROVEMENT.

Pat all the other questions Of the area
of leyee improvements within which
Sacramento might under certain con-
ditions take part out of the way and this
remains: that as matter of convenience
and in mercy to the nervous temperament
of the San Francisco newspaper men, tae
Front street levee should be filled in level
with the crown of the street as graded
between K and land it ought to be
done now. We do not understand that
there IS any insuperable obstacle in the
way of doing this work this winter It
should for the most part be accomplished
by the use Of material that can now be
had. It viii greatly accommodate trade in
reaching the freight depots, and will re-
move the liability 10 which our visitors
are exposed in the rainy season, OF wetting
their feet in the pools that gather in the
swales Of the open space beyond Front
street. But seriously; the Front street
leyee should be rounded up to the highest
level Of the street and we'll covered with
broken stone or similar material. The
grouud is trayersed by railway tracks
SO that hauling can he easily done in dump
car, while the chaiu-gang can be EN-
ployed with profit to its health in doing
the grading, If there is not money at
command Tor the purpose in the treasury,
it doubtless can be secured from other
sources 50 that the work can be done
Speedily. When the winter season has
passed, he task of bringing the Y street
or vross leyee below TIE city to common
level w;th Front street must be taken up.
And thst work shonld be accomplished at
theearliest convenient date. We can then
give the PEOPLE in reclamation District
No ! full notice that if they do not go on
and build their levees high aud broad,
aud exterminate the gophers that ourrow
in them, they c2a swim or take to boats
as they choose, when the snow in the
mountains melts in June or July-that
whatever happens to them or their prop
erty viii not interest Sacramento outside
OF the tender pity our people have for any
human beings in distress.
And this gives opportunity to say thai
in The action of the city officials the last
week in Indirectly aiding the people OF
tina. low-land district to wasd off the in
imitation which threatened them, and
which they 50 narrowly escaped, wise
policy was conserved. It was not to save

district that the authorities rendered the

What Christ Taught.

When He was born, new manner of
living, not a new manner Of thinking, was
born. When He was born, a new life, and
not new creed, appeared for mems guild
ance and by initiating the life, and not by
believing creed, were men to be saved.
He did not take knowledge of men by
what they believed, but by what they did.
''By their deeds ye shall know them" said
He. He did not ask men to believe in
any form Of truth He said: believe in
Me, and you shall be saved.n Have faith
in and copy My personality; incorporate
My spirit in your body; let the affection of
My heart make its genial abode in your
bosom, and you shall be saved. The dig
ciple was to leave father and mother, and
follow Him. The ancestral habits, the eff
fects of heredity, the perpetuated charac-
teristics of blood, the family selfshness,
the pride of race-these were to be dis
placed, showed aside, killed in them, that
they might be free from them as He was

[From Forest and Stream

From Forest and Stream
We were comfortably seated around the
hearth at Porter Lake, in Pike county, Pa,
and the spirit of story telling was strong
upon us, because the fishing had been un-
usually good and the supper bounteous.
The flash and sparkle of wit filed the up
per air of the room as with fine aurora,
and halo Of calm bliss encircled the brow
of each entrsnced listener. But first the
drug and then the antidote. The benevo-
lent Colonel drew us down gently from the
piddy nights with story of a coarse pie
bian. locally known as a catfish. Thus ran
his tale: g A man and his dog went fish
ing in the Mississippi. In short time
the man felt mighty pull on the line,
and he knew that a catfish had taken hold.
The giant came along peacefully enough
until he happened to change his mind, and
then he decided to double on his course
and take the man along. The faithful dog,
seeing his masters danger. rushed to the
rescue bravely enough. The WHY catfish,
when he found the dog pursuing, turned
upon him and terrified the dog, who in
continently turned tail and swan vigor-
only toward the dry land, the catfish
hotly following. Presently the dog gained
the land and ran hastily, the catfish madly
surging after him The dog, sorely pressed
and fearing a painful death, in his ex.
trenlity climbed tree, the catfish still
pursuing"
i @Hold on hold onr' We cried in chO-
rus; dogs cannot climb trees

Colonel. But the catfish was close upor

NAYILLE, in his recent lecture before
the Victoria Institute, averred that he had
been guided correctly in his researches and
discoveries at Bubastis-one of the ancient
cities Of the Delta of Egypt-and, in conse-
quence, in his inquiries INTO the worship Of
the cat-goddess Pasht, by the prophecies
in the book of Ezekiel This is in one
respect cumulative proof of the verify of
the Bible, and in another simply evidence
hat the prophet was well informed con-
corning the Delta region and its people
The discoveries of NJ. Naville regarding
Bubastis are of the highest Importance
He found proofs that the city was vastly
larger and greatly older than has been sup
posed. He secured relics from the fourth
or pyramid builders down to the thirtieth
or last Egyptian dynasty. The monuments
and other relics of the shepherd kings
show that they were a far more highly
cultivated people than has been heretofore
supposed. NJ. Naville thinks they came
from Mesopotamia, as against the belief of
Virchow, who held them to be Turanians,
and Flower, who thought the monuments
represented either Turanian or Mongolian
types. However, all are agreed that their
worship and language were of a Scientific
order, while the statues of their Kings
showed that they were not Shemites. NJ.
NavilIe concludes that sit was then what
it still is now; and believe that the con-
quest OF Egypt by the Hyksos is not un-
like what would happen if the valley of
the Nile should to-day be overrun by the
people of Mesopotamia you would have
masses, in great majority of Scientific race,
speaking a Scientific language, and having
Scientific religion, but under the COM
mand Of Turks, who are not Shemites, but
Turanians"

depth at which wave action ceases at one
hundred fathoms. Deep-sea life then be-

trate. While the deep-sea forms but rarely
ascend beyond that horizon, the shallow
water forms descend far below it. Ro-

exercise Of their Imagination should keep
these facts in mind, and make fiction ac-
cord with the demonstrations of science.

4 CHEAP RIDE.
But it Cost Him His Lite.


On Saturday night last a negro
jumped from the East bound
through freight train, as it was
passing by the Depot at Dawson,
and received injuries from which
he died Sunday. 1t seems that he
and few of his companions got on
at Shellman and were stealing a
ride to Dawson. Doctors Cheat
ham and Dean did all they could
to save him, but as he had received
some internal injury it was imposs-
ible to do so.
