THE BONDED DEBT.

The two decisions of the Supreme Court
recently rendered, effectually settle the
doubts entertained as to the liability of
this city to Tay interest upon interest on
her bonded debt. That is to say, the
Court holds that the contract between the
city and her creditors provides only for
the payment of interest upon the bonds as
expressed in attached coupons. Now, says
the Court, when these coupons are over
due they do not bear interest, because no
provision was made in the contract for the
payment of any interest except that called
for by the coupons, and there is no fund
created for the payment of other sums
than those expressed upon the face of the
bonds and the coupons. The Court prop
.erly proceeds upon the doctrine that the
city and the creditor in making contract
of debt, expressed all that it was intended
by either should be paid.
The dicta Of these two opinions clearly
indicate that if the question was before the
Court it would decide also that no interest
is payable upon overdue bonds. It is a
great pity, indeed, that this matter of in
depreciation of the contract could not have
been earlier brought about, instead of
wrestling with the many cases We have
had with the bondholders on questions of
remedies and forms of actions. But II is
at last decided that the city is not to be
held liable for compound interest. This
saves Immediately over four hundred thou
sand dollars to Sacramento as effectually
as if that sum had been put into her treas
ury. But it does more than that. It saves
the city from a possible liability-that was
by many greatly feared-of paying fully a
million dollars more, while by reducing
the value Of early due and due bonds, the
decisions save half million dollars more
to the city, so that in round numbers the
municipality is gamer in the sum of fully
two millions of dollars. The payment Of
our Indebtedness is now matter of a COM
paratiyelv brief time, and that incum-
brance viii from this time forward so rap
idly disappear that if the operations of the
Funded Commission are continued, in
three years more the Indebtedness of the
city will, We believe, cut no figure of i'm
portance in its prosperity and credit.

There is plan on foot of adding an
other story to the Eiffel tower-not on the
summit, but an Intermediary floor above

prefer this altitude to solourn on the top
of the Right, but by lovers of novelty.
The Sultan's presents to Emperor Will
lam and his wife during their recent visit
in Constantinople cost 100000. They
were packed in twenty-four chests, and
consisted mostly of shawls, silks, rugs,
and carpets, made expressly for the royal
Prussians. The most expensive gift was
the diamond brooch, with pendant Of
pearls and diamonds, for the Empress.
This ornament cost $4,000. Count Her
bert Bismarck also is said to have carried
away from Constantinople some $4,000
worth of diplomatic plumber.
A statue concentrating touching little
episode in the life of the late German
Emperor, Frederick, is about to be erected
at Kaiserslauten. When Frederick was
Crown Prince he visited one of the orphan
asylums of that town. Among the chill

Frederick noticed him, took him in
his arms, and thereupon agreed to become
his godfather. The child, to whom a

frightened at first, but soon got over his
difficulty and began to play with the
Princes medals and decorations. The
statue in question viii represent the Prince
with a baby in his arms, and the youngster

a NEW 1pEA ABOUT ROADS.

Governor Hill has made one proposition
to the Legislature of New York, having SO
much Of merit in it that we hasten to ac-
knowledge it. since it is seldom that the
press is called upon to commend any sug-
gestion of the Governor. He proposes a
system of improvement of public roads in
all the counties of the Empire State, under
State auspices. His plan is for two roads
through each county, maintained in con-
slant repair, and so constructed as to have
system Of State driveways permeating
all parts of the commonwealth. He does
not propose to relieve localities from the
charge of the country roads in general,
but only that the State maintain the prin-
cipal highways, as was done by many COM
monwealths before the days of railroads.
The appropriations for the canals and the
State aid given to various railroads are
cited as presidents in favor of the scheme.
Without indorsing the idea out of hand,
it must be said to have many strong sup
porting reasons behind it. Whether such
scheme could be carried out in this
State, with its immense expanse of terri
tory and its sparse population, is ques-
ton. But if it could be, the benefits would
be inealculable. If State aid could be
given to counties to stimulate them to
road improvement, there would be a
direct and compensating return in in
creased values for appraisement. Farm
products could be so much easier brought
to the railroads, communication would
be so much better between sections,
strangers would so readily recognize the
system as strong invitation to settle, that
the scheme would prove great blessing
and of immense material benefit to the
State. Suppose, for instance, that in tins
county one State-aided highway ran south
from bound to bound, and connected with
similar roads in Placer, Yolo, Amador and
San Joaquin, and so on, the counties would
be stimulated to build fine connecting or
side roads to this main highway, and in
side of ten years we would have through
out the State a system of well-kept public
roads passable in comfort at all seasons,
that would greatly enhance the desira-
bility of residence and of possessions in
California. Our generally poor roads are
sources of first and constant complaint on
the part of visitors and intending settlers.
Convict labor might be utilized in making
and keeping these new roads in repair, and
the labor of prisoners under conviction in
county jail might be employed on the
spur roads and feeders to the main lines.
the suggestion is certainly one that is wor-
thy of public consideration. All reasons
for it and all against it should be advanced.
As it stands, it would seem that California
could scarcely do better work, nor more
wisely invest few hundred thousand dol
lars each year for the next ten years, than
in encouraging the construction of good
wagon roads throughout the State.

A Weather Plant.

A weather plant" which is vastly the
superior of the goose bone, the muskrat
house, the corn husk and the Signal Serv-
ice man as a reliable weather prophet, is
on exhibition at Vienna. Its common
name is paternoster cheese; in Latin it is
called Abrus peregrinus. TIE weather
changes are indicated by the rise and fall
of its leaves and shoots, and its forecasts
cover a period of from forty-eight hours to
three days. 1t is said to be absolutely in
fallible-a point in which close observers
will be able to recognize difference be-
tween it and the Signal Service man. The
first thought, in view of the imperfections
of our Signal Service, is that the weather
plant" should be propagated extensively
over here; but it probably couldn't survive
American weather.
The abrus is a genus of leguminous
plants, A. precdtorius, the Indian licorice,
woody twiner, native of India, now,
however, common in many hot countries.
It's roots are often used as substitute for
licorice. Its seeds are the size of peas,
called crabs eyes, jumble-beads and jaqui-
rity, or John Crow beans, and employed
for rcsaries, necklaces, etc.
