Gold Product of Mexico.

The Annual production of gold in the Republic is estimated at nearly S3,OOO,OOO, one third being derived from silver ores and two thirds from gold ores. The Cerro Colorado in Chihuahua yields from s600,0O0 to $1,0OO,OOO per year, mines at Pinos Altos and Jesus, Maria, also in the same State, to- gether, s7O0,000 yearly. Several mines in the State of Sonora yield gold, and the developments made in gold quartz and placer mining in the Territory of Lower California indicate steady output of gold in that region. Gold mining is not likely to be confined long to the ex- treme northwest of the country for mining under takings of excellent promise are beginning in the State of Guerrero, and Oaxaca is certain, as soon as railway communication is established, to become a large pro- ducer of gold. The Oaxacan ores will require a number of chlorina- ting mills. Sinaloa is yielding gold and there are other States where there is a small annual yield. Gold practically does not enter into mon- etary circulation here and is large ly exported-Mexican Financier.

How Long to Sleep.

The popular belief that men oi extraordinary mental activity are as rule, light sleepers, is not jus tified by the facts. What the just and right allowance of sleep may be for the individual does not seem to depend altogether upon the amount of mental or physical work done, and is, to considerable ex- tent, determined by inheritance and idiosyncrasy. The idler and the pleasure lover often seem to sleep longer and more easily than the la borious brain worker, ,and cases may be traced where tendency to light or heavy sleep has run strongly in families, irrespectively of the occu- pations, or of the physical and in- tellectual activities of individuals. The only safe guide in determining
 
 such a question is experience. If good health and full intellectual efficiency can be preserved by six hours sleep, there seems no motive for making efforts, probably des- tined to failure, to secure eight hours. But care should be exer- cised that short sleep has not been the result merely of a long contin- ued bad habit, and that every op- portunity Is afforded to the organ ism to procure that amount of sleep that seems normal for it. Hence moderately early hours, quiet free dom from sources of disturbance are necessary, and for Q prolonged period, before we can feel sure that the amount of sleep that seems nat ural to us is really so. Eight hours has been fixed by general consent as the happy mean, and we have no to make to it, although it is perhaps a liberal allowance for adults in vigorous health. The young and the ailing may with ad- take more, and, indeed, can hardly have too much of so excel lent tonic and restorative as sleep. Halls Journal of Health.

Robbery has it's Limits.

Senator Plumb's amendment tc the dependent pension bill was q bare-faced scheme to bribe the dis, contented farmers of his State to continue their support of the party that has laid a burden of taxation upon them which they are finding themselves unable to bear. This wild and woolly boodler proposed to vote away $5OO,000,OO0 as though that vast sum could be picked up in the road.
 No wonder the more cautious Senators from Maine and Connec- ticut protested against the propo- sitlon, and no wonder it met with a signal defeat. Mir. Frye did not put the case too strongly in saying he "would not dare" to vote for the steal, and he spoke words of truth and soberness when he said that many business men ofthe Republi- can party approved Mir. Cleveland's use of the Presidential veto to pre- vent such appropriations. Gen, Hawley, himself a gallant and de- voted soldier of the Union, did well to remind his old comrades that these enormous sums of money come very largely ''out of the pock- cts of people as poor as them selves.
 Such utterances, from such a source, indicate that a halt is to be called in this pension robbery by the thinking men among the Re- publicans. As Gen. Hawley said, there is limit to such legislation, and he intimated that it had al- ready been passed, even from the Republican point of yiew.-Mem- phis Avalanche.

Vails band of cattle, the same that swam the Colorado a short while ago, went by the long road-via Digenos-across the des- ert; a considerable lengthier route but affording abundant water part of the way. Still they will have as long drives to reach Carisso creek as they would have had in going across from Seven Wells by way of Indian Wells.

Some years ago the office Of Su- perintendent of Public Instruction was elective. But for some reason the law was changed and the office was made appointive. This is wrong and contrary to our princi- pie of government. Under our form of government the exceptions to filling offices by election should be very rare. All experience has proved that the people are as capable of placing good men in of flee as any single man, and more so, for such a direct personal influence cannot be brought to bear on the mass of voters. Our laws should be so amended at to make all the Territorial officers elective. Ifsuch practice obtained our affairs would not now be Tn such a muddled con- dition. And, moreover. 1t would have saved the reputation of Arizo ma at Washington, for so many pa triots would not have been there endeavoring to blacken each others character.-Epitaph.

Some Assumptions of Science.

l
 It is not going too far to say.tha
 the modern sciences of chemistr
 and physics are based upon theorie
 which have never been proved to b
 true, but are, possibly, or even prob
 ably, unprovable. The two fund
 amental conceptions regarding mat
 ter and energy-the atoms and tn, ether-are assumptions, pure anC simple, and the only justification
 we have for assuming their exis
 tence is the very strong one tha
 they perfectly explain all the ob
 served phenomena, and, even fur
 ther, that by reasoning from them
 as basis, we can predict what phe.
 nomena will occur under previously
 untried conditions, and have our
 prediction fulfilled when the pro-
 posed conditions are obtained. We have no actual and definite knowl- edge as to how matter is constitu- ted, how energy is transmitted, or whatlight, heat, electricity chemical affinity, etc, really are, and we are hardly able to thoroughly diferenti- ate matter and energy themselves. Certain scientists have considered them nearly identical, holding that atoms are but centers of attractive force, or of vortices in the ether, like the ring of smoke blown from the chimney of a locomotive. We think that scarcely a single scientist of repute would claim to absolutely believe in the existence of either atoms or ether. They simply stand as expressions by which observed phenomena can be formulated, or, as illustrated by Professor Cooke, they are but the scaffolding of an uncompleted building, to be removed when our system of the philosophy of na ture is complete, but in the present condition of knowledge serving q useful ifnol indispensable purpose. The more We search into the mys- teries of Nature, the more incom- prehensive we find them, and the more clearly we perceive the limita- tions of our present knowledge It sometimes seems as if we mustr req son from a psychological stand point, and refer natural phenomena to subjective basis. But this is merely d fanciful speculation the course of knowledge is ever on ward, and we have no occasion for discouragement. We have but lit tie doubt in time many, if not all, of the problems of nature will be solved, and shown to have a mate rial and objective existence; and it is not impossible that we may ob- tain a comprehension of the true nature of vital force, or life itself which we can not but consider as .he key to all those other myste- ries which now perplex the mani of our being which we ,all the mind, or soul.- Popular Science.

The Rugbear sf Little Minds.

We human creatures are alWay!
 loath to stand face to face witt
 trush-like the spendthrift who pre-
 fers the license of credit to confront
 ing his affairs and knowing exactly
 how far he may go. False-speak,
 ing is but a single branch of the
 evil. The notifications of insin.
 cerity strike out in every direction
 until the whole of life is veined
 with them. They could scarcely
 be uprooted without rending the en-
 tire social fabric. What a hopeless
 task it would be to try to make cer-
 tain persons realize that the belief they profess is not religion, beauti- ful, inspiring, and all-suf1icing, but bigotry which is cruel, or supersti- ton which is cowardly-a shelter that is expected to ward off spirit ual harm, as self-secking as the tenn poral shelter erected to shield them against wind and rain. At every turn, we stumble over fallacies that are supposed to be true because they have become prOverbial. We are bidden, for example, to say nothing ot the dead but that which is good. Why should we perpetuate the ignorant fear of the ancients, lest the ghosts of the departed might return to haunt the one who spoke evil of them? There is no justice in such a sentiment. Though a man dies, his works live. Does the mere act of dissolution blot out the misdeeds of villain? Though his body may be dust we can see his spirit still stalking the earth, in the shape of the men and women he turned toward sin-in the sordid tragedies enacted in the foul tene- ment houses that enriched him-in bis own children whose chances of useful living were wrecked by his weakness or wickedness. It is not inconsistency, but truth, that is the bugbear of little minds. There is something in tits vastness that seems to terrify them, like the thought of the endless sweep of eternity. It makes them uneasy in the midst of their day of small things, and they turn away their eyes, and will have none of 1t. Their aversion to some things as they really are is firmly fixed; so they go on gliding decay and curtailing corruption with cloth of gold. Nor can they be brought to understand that what is true for to-day may not be true for to-mor- the hard lot of the man who runs in advance of the age, like torch-bearer, lighting the high road to the future. Lucky is he if stones alone are cast at him. The way of the progressor Is hard-for "all are madmen who first draw out hidden truths" What long and bloodstained list we might make of truths martyrs. But it would l be superfuous; for all the world | knows the names of men who were audacious enough to see little far ther than their neighbors, and how l they were therefore banished or be- l headed, or roasted at the stake, ac- ! cording to the caprice of the partic- ular reigning tyraIt.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

DR.. QUIMBY's MATHEMATICS.

They Bring a PiIing for the New Second
Street Sewer.
The Board Of Street and Water Com
missioners this morning held a short spe-
cial meeting to listen to the report Of the
committee from the Third District Proper
ty Owners Association, who at the last
meeting of the Board had been requested
to consult with the engineers in the em-
plpy of the association in reference to the
adequacy of 4-foot pipe for the extension
of the Second street sewer.
DR.. j. N. Quifnby on behalf of the COM
mtttee reported THAI Engineers j. r..
Ward and Gustav Bia had expressed the
opinion that the four foot pipe, with man
holes at every rs feet, was sufficiently
large enough to carry off the sewerage to
tidewater.
DIR. QUIMBY's MATHEMATICS.
He submitted a paper upon which he
had made a calculation showing the
power of the earth to resist the W pipe
when filled with sewage, in order to prove
that it will be necessary to pile the sewer.
The calculation showed that 4S-inch
pipe weighed ZOO pounds per lineal foot
and would displace 13 cubic feet of earth,
which, at 80 pounds, would weigh 1,1T0;
SO that, when empty, the pipe would
weigh less. than the displaced earth. 1t
was, therefore, necessary to pile, and the
Board decided upon piifng.
The Board passed n resolution to the
effect that the job should be completed
within ninety days,
DR.. Quimby also made q suggestion, in
which the Board concurred, that should
the four-foot pipe prove inadequate to
carry off the sewerage Of both Second
and Fourth streets, the Fourth street
sewer should be Immediately extended to
tide water also.
