THE DIAMOND.
The Lavensons and Marysvilles Play an
Interesting Game.

The LavensOns and Marysvilles Play an
Interesting Game.
The Lavensons of this city went to
Marysville on Sunday and played the team
of that place. The crowd that attended
the game was the largest ever visiting the
ball grounds in that city. The game was
fine exhibition of ball playing and would
have done credit to any professional team.
Close and exciting from start to finish, the
large crowd in attendance were perfectly
delighted with the contest
Baltz pitched for the Lavensons, and it
is owing to his excellent pitching that the
victory was for the Sacramento amateurs.
He struck out nineteen men and allowed
only three scattering hits to be made of
his delivery, two of them being of the
scratch" order. He had almost perfect
command of the ball. and his speedy
curves were too much for the Marysville
boys. Baltz was also well supported by
his fielders, as only two errors are credited
to them.
The Marysville Club are fine set of
ball-players, and from the condition of the
teams in the League good games can here
after be expected.
Burrows also pitched fine ball for Marvs.
vile, and the ten hits made off him were
we'll scattered.
Kerrigan umpired the game, and his
decisions were universally satisfactory.
The following is the score:

On the 18th instant the Federal Gov
eminent took entire charge of the landing
and supervision of immigrants at New
York, and the State Commissioners re-
tired from the business. They had con-
templated resistance, but the Attorney
General advised them that it would be
foolish TO do so, as the General Govern
ment has the undoubted right to supervise
the incoming of immigrants. The change,
1t is believed, will work for the good of
the country. We have reason to believe
that there will be stricter supervision than
heretofore and that the laws relative to
assisted immigrants and those likely to be-
come public charges will be rigidly en-
forced. As an immigrant depot, therefore,
Castle Garden has ceased to be. 1t has
now passed through two distinct and
widely different uses. What it will
next be utilized for is matter of some
curious interest. 1t certainly will never
be the object of such general interest as
when Jenny Lind drew all New York to
Its gates to hear her marvellous voice, or
when 1t became the chief gate of the ma
ton for refugees from foreign lands.

Two. YEARS ago the women of America
undertook to raise fund for bronze
statue Of Washington, to be presented to
France as memorial OF the good will
for that country among the people of the
United States. The effort has been re-
newed in Washington, the headquarters of
the association. 1t ought to have encour-
agement. Since France has given us the
f.Statue OF Liberty" we could not make a
more graceful return than to send to the
European Republic bronze statue of the
"Father of his Country" Nor could any
class more energetically and appropriately
undertake the task of raising the necessary
funds than the women of America. After
all it is scarcely task. The statue prop
erly mounted will not cost to exceed $50,-
600. and that amount is but trifie for the
100000 women Of America to raise.

LET the city authorities see to it that
the sidewalk inspection is not made mere
surface matter any longer, but that the
walkways are examined after each winter
from the ground beneath them, wherever
they are more than three feet from the
surface. The people have right to be
protected in this matter, and to be given
the assurance that they can walk upon the
streets with immunity from accidents such
as that OF Sunday night.

A HISTORICAL society in New York has
entered upon a work that is to be COM
mended. 1t is nearly ready to place upon
the historic sites and buildings of that
city tablets stating what special historic
interest attaches to the spot. For in
stance, on the house 45, Broadway, in the
south part of the court, will be placed
tablet stating that it marks the spot where
the first habitation of the white man was
made on Manhattan Island; that Captain
Adrien Block there erected four huts for
himself and men, November, 1893. Many
of the tablets will bear several lines of
historical description and recital. The
idea is an excellent one, and might well
be followed in California and local his
torical and pioneer societies make them
selves notably useful by marking the spots
of historical interest in this State.

There is not one man or woman in ten
thousand who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All those
stories written about great men and women
who slept only three or four hours night
make very interesting reading; but 1 tell
you, my readers, no man or woman ever
yet kept healthy in body and mind for a
number of years with less than seven
hours sleep. Americans need more sleep
than they are getting. This lack makes
them so nervous and the insane asylums so
populous If you can get to bed early
then rise early. If you cannot get to bed
till late then rise late. 1t may be as
Christian for one man to rise at as it is
for another to rise at 5. 1 counsel my
readers to get up when they are rested.
But let the rousing bell be rung at least
thirty minutes before your public appear
ance. Physicians say that sudden jump
out of bed gives irregular motion to the
pulse. 1t takes hours to get over too
sudden rising. Give us time after you call
us to roll over, gaze at the world full in
the face and look before we leap.-T. De

Phenomena of Hurricanes.

Professor LoomiS gives very interest
ing summary of his Investigations on the
subject of tornadoes. He finds that while
no season of the year is exempt they occur
for the most part in May and June, and
generally between noon and sunset. The
usual accompaniments are a rise in tenn
perature, lightning and rain, and frequent
ly hail. Their progress in this country is
invariably eastwardly, the mean being 12
degs. north of east. Their average breadth
is 129 rods; length, 10 miles; velocity of
progress when violent, about 30 miles an
hour; duration of destructive violence, 45
seconds. The loss of human life is remark
ably small considering all the attendant
conditions, being about one to tornado.
In passing over ponds and rivers water
is invariably raised in large quantities.
Leeward roofs are generally taken in pref
erence to windward Light objects are
frequently transported three to twenty
miles, and fowls are not infrequently picked
of most of their feathers. This though
singular is undoubtedly true phenome-
non. The attempts to prove that it could
be caused by the expansion or air in the
.quills, due to the passage of a vacuum,
have not been successful. The most sin
gular fact is that the fowl lives under the
depluming process. In some cases roosters
have been seen walking around after tor
nado growing, and without feather on
their backs. A feasible explanation is that
an electric charge threw off the feathers
much in the same way as it now and again
strips the clothes from a person-New

The Tomb of Eve,

The Arabs claim that EYES tomb is at
Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. The tenn
pie with palm growing out of the
solid stone roof "a curiosity which is of
itself the wonder of the ORIENT is supposed
to mark the last resting place of the first
woman. According to Arabian tradition,
Eve measured over 200 feet in height, which
strangely comedies with an account of our
first parents written by member of the
French academy of sciences a few years
ago, who also claimed height of over 200
of Eden. Ewes tomb, which is a grave
yard surrounded with high white walls,
and which has not been opened for single
interment for over thousand years, is the
shrine of thousands of devoted Ishmael-
ties, who make a pilgrimage to the spot
once every seven years.
1t is hemmed in on all sides by the tomb
of departed shiekhs and other worthies
who have lived out their days in that re-
gion of scorching sun and burning sands
Once each year, on June g. which is, ac-
cording to Arabian legends, the anniver-
sary of the death of Abel, the doors of the
temple which forms a canopy over this
supposed tomb of our first mother remain
open all night in spite of the keepers eff
forts to close them. Terrible cries of an
guish are said to emit from them, as
though the memory of the first known
tragedy still haunted the remains which
blind superstition believes to be deposited
there.-St. Louis Republic.

Discovery at Broadsta1rs.

In the course of some excavations for a
new road on the Sea View estate at Broad
stairs discovery of human skeletons and
several vases or urns has been made. The
vases, three of which were preserved in
tact, vary from four inches to six inches
in height they also vary in shape, and the
fact that they are exactly similar to the
Roman cinerary urns which have been
found in large numbers in different parts
of the coast in this neighborhood points to
their having been placed where they were
discovered by the hands of the Roman in
vaders of the island. The position where
they were found is at the extreme end of
the island, very near to the North Fore
land Lighthouse. The graves, which were
opened out in the course of the cutting of
the road, were close together and not more
than two feet below the surface. Some of
The skeletons found were lying across one
another, from which it is supposed that
the dead may have been rudely inferred
after battle fought in the neighborhood.
Several pieces of metal very deeply oxi-
died were also found, one of them having
the appearance of a clasp.-Cor. London

IMAGINATION.

Cali Cesar back and bid the world stand still
Thou Brutus pluck the laurel from thy BROW
Mark Antony, forsake thine amorous love,
And Cleopatra, allunvrtuous pride;
But thou, Imagination, art king,
The universe thine empire-time thy thronel
Aurora's beams do fashion thee crown
And Luna's crescent is thy signet ring.
A tiara bright Of jewel stars are thine
Endymion, Venus, Jupiter and Mars.
Thy palace is the rainbow's glorious arc,
Thy fount-the crystal of a thousand rls.
Thou art an artist; in thy grand design.
With infinite touch, the modest colors blend;
Bold Phoebus lends thee ample light and shade,
And 10! the gorgeous East is richly drest-
Not less the daisy, in her modest garb;
The lily in the vale, with rarest grace
Then poesy comes-and thou hast taught her
Tyre,
Like that of Orpheus, in the days of old,
To sing of love, of virtue and Of fate
Alas. that fate should consecrate thy name
And well she leads in animated choirs
The songs of birds, the humming of the bee,
The liquid music of the waterfall,
And joins them all in one harmonious chant.

SandaKan, ana mas no lnnaD1uanus, nor any
trace of any. The northern half of the
island is a sandy plain, well suited for pas
turing cattle or fer cocoanut planting.
The other side consists of a dense jungle of
large trees, something after the style Of
the dark forest which so oimpeded Mr.. Stan
ley in his last journey across Africa. The
shore, as is common in the tropics, is
fringed with mangroves. There is an
abundance of fine limestone on the hills,
the highest of which reaches over 400 feet,
and in the valleys is soil evidently very
suitable for coffee planting. There are two
good harbors. Wild cattle are apparently
abundant, and there are three species Of
deer and plenty of wild pigs, but no croco-
diles. So far Mr.. Francis has formed no
definite idea as to what he shall do with
Balambangan but he intends to send a
competent man down to examine and re-
port upon the place.-Exchange.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-12
Rapidity of Thought.

Professor Donders, of Utrecht, recently
made some interesting experiments in re-
gard to the rapidity of thought. By means
of two instruments, which he calls the
neomatachograph and the neornatacho-
meter, he promises some important and in
teresting results. His experiments up to
date show that it takes the brain one .067
of second to elaborate single idea.
Writing in regard to this Donders says:
Doubtless the time required for the brain
to act is not the same in all individuals;
believe, however, that these instruments
may be perfected until we will be able to
determine the mental caliber of our friends
without our friends knowing that we are
testing their aptness." The professor fur
ther says: For an eye to receive an i'm
preston requires .077 of second, and for
the ear to appreciate a sound, .149 of a
second is all that is necessary, which, how
ever, shows that the eye acts with nearly
double the rapidity of the ear"

The "AudiOo Telephone,

A new telephone has been brought out in
England, the characteristic point of which
is the mouthpiece. The particular advan-
tage claimed by the inventors of this mouth
piece is that it intensifies the sound waves,
and thus renders it possible to carry on
conversation in an ordinary tone of voice
The mouthpiece is simply truncated cone,
which is clamped on to the telephone. By
using an India rubber ring between the
mouthpiece and the telephone any escape
of sound is entirely prevented. The cone
is double, the outer cone being perforated
with holes, the idea being that the vibra-
tions caused by the sound waves on the in
terror cone have full freedom and are en-
tirely protected from contact with external
substances.-New York Commercial Ad-
yqrtiser

A Family of Great Weight,

T. j. Benton, of Dent county, Mo-, gives
the weight of his fathers family as follows:
"All of our family except father, who is s3
years old, are stout. Father weighs 100
pounds, Tom weighs 1886, Elijah 24O, Henry
26O, Sweeney 2O5 and 1 weigh, as L told
you, 1856, making total weight for the
five brothers of 1876 pounds, pretty
heavy load for one horse to pull up hill. ."
Many stories are told of Mr.. Benton's
powers. On one occasion, while he was
marshal of Salem, two big, burly six footers
attempted to rule or ruin the town, defy
ing the officers and challenging any one to
arrest them Mr.. Benton took the OBJ
streperous couple, one under each arm, and
carried them to Jail, their legs and arms
plowing around in the air with the indus
try of new and entirely idiotic species of
windmill.-Kansas City Star.

They Were Satisfied.
Language of Fish.

Mr.. W. A. Carter, in recent lecture on
~EMarine and Fresh Water Fishes" said
that fish have the power of influencing one
another by sounds and action. He had OBJ
served a shoal of carp following the lead Of
a single one, which conducted them to a
quantity of food at a considerable distance
away. He had also noticed that certain
fresh water fish, such as trout, were sub
servient to ruler, which might be seen
swimming at the head of his tribe. The
same was possibly the case with some ma
rine forms, like the herring and bass.

Where Every Mans a Priest.

In walking about the streets of Manda-
lay one meets on every hand hundreds Of
the yellow robed, shaven headed monks.
Some are smoking, some are talking with
the natives, but all look very happy and
content. 1t may not be generally known,
but every man in Burmah is supposed at
some period in his life to be a priest. 1t is
so in Siam also. Hence it was that Thee

Mr.. Francis and His Island.

J. J. Francis, @. c., of Hong Kong, can
be, like Defoe's immortal creation, monarch
of all he surveys when he lands upon the
island of Balambangan, off the coast of
north Borneo. The island was conceded
to Mr. Francis during a holiday visit which
that gentleman paid to Borneo, and is de-
scribed as being close upon fifty miles in
circumference, and lying about ten or
eleven miles off the extreme northern point
of Borneo 1t is $50 miles from the port Of
