returned to the Danube and the Pheasant con-
tinued on her way.
From St. Lawrence Island the Pheasant
crossed to Plover Bay, on the Asiatic Coast,
returning to Illiluk, or Ounalaska, on the
Goth, when the glass dropped to 1880.
While we were at Ounalaska, W did not
sail for home until the 14th, the U. S. S.
Mohican brought in the Victoria Schooner
Otto, which had been seized on account of
Irregularities in her papers. AS near as we
could learn she sailed from Victoria after
the sea had been declared closed, clearing for
a fishing cruise. Being caught seal hunting,
and with % skins on board, she was arrested.
There was also some troublein regard to the
names of owner and master, the proper changes
in the ships books not having been made
when the schooner changed hands not long ago.
The Otto was ordered home, and sailed before we
did, and we did not see her again until to-day,
the Oath, when we sighted her in the straits.
She sailed on the 5th, and we gave her u
tow to within Race Rocks, and she was home
almost as soon as we were. We brought back
the rifles and ammunition of the E. B. Marvin,
which was seized sealing the very day after
receiving her notice to leave the sea. The
Nymphe may be expected home any time now,
and we thought to find the Danube here on our
arrival"

A WISE ENACTMENT.

The Emperor of Germany, alarmed at the
spread of intemperance amO ne his subjects,
has determined to procure the enactment Of
a liquor law. This proposed law does not
sound to Canadian ears as very stringent.
1t is not in any sense prOhibitory, and it's
restrictive clauses are not numerous and
will not, we think, be found to be OppreS-
sive. Many of its provisions are similar to
those of the license laws of some OF the
provinces of the Dominion and many of the
States of the Union. One of the provisions
of the German law we look upOnas wise and
as pointing out the only practical way of
dealing with men whose will power has
been destroyed by indulgence in strong
drink. 1t provides that:
Common drunkards and people who, by
addiction to liquor, endanger the public
welfare or neglect their families, can be
placed under legal guardianship. Such a
person is legally equal to a minor. The
guardian, or, in his default, the Court, can
order the detention Of such a person in an
asylum for lnebriates."
It is clear that the man who becomes such
q slave to strong drink as to neglect his
business, his family, and his duties as a CT
tizen, is not, in the true sense of the word,
sane. He has 10 more command of himself
anu Is uO O0UICl GlUlllOu W uNS IIutl'y tIdIl
a lunatic. His brain is, in fact diseased,
and it is cruel to him and unjust to his
family and to the community, to allow him
to be at large. He is, in the first place, ut
terly miserable. His freedom is not a bless
ing, but a curse. He is continually on the
hunt for the means to crafty his craving
for stimulantS. There is not a sick man in
the hospital who more urgently requires
treatment than he. He is diseased and he
ought to be a patient. Physicians now
say that, if he is to be cured, il the demo-
ralization that is going on in every part of
his system is to be arrested he must DO isO-
lated. The hGbeGs corpus Act must be Sus-
pended as far as he is concerned. The law
therefore, which places him under guardian
ship aud sends him 10 ahOspital for inebriates
is q wiselaw and a just law, and it is also
humane law. 1t saves the poor inebriate
from himself and places him in a position,
if recovery is possible, to recover. Gases
anust be in the mind of almost every reader
for which such a law provides the only re-
medy possible. If when it was seen that
the man could not keep from drink he was
placed under the care of skilful persous,
where it would beimposSible for. him to get
drink and where kind Nature would have a
chance to repair the damage that had been
done, the man might have been saved aud
restored to his family and to society. Even
if he was too far gone for that, if the mis-
chief that had been done was irreparable,
he would be saved months, and perhaps
years, of misery, aud would end his days, if
not happily, at least with som degree OF
comfort and decency.
The knowledge that, if he went too far
aud wholly neglected his business and his
family FOR the sake of drink, he would bs
deprived of his liberty aud treated as a per-
son OF disOrdered mind, would, no doubt,
, 1891-10-31

check many a drunkard in his downward
career. 1t seems to US that there should be
some such provision as the one we have
been considering, in every liquor law.-Ibid.

THE CIRCUS.
The Performing Elephants and Bare
back Riders in Town.


McMahon's circus opened at Fifteenth
and NJ streets yesterday afternoon to a
large crowd, and another performance
was given last evening TO still larger
audience.
When this circus was in Sacramento
last year it was deservedly pronounced
one of the most meritOrious ones that
ever pitched its tents here, and this time
it came reinforced in every department
1t is not one of those modern three-ringed
and staged affairs, wherein the spectator
becomes bewildered, and, while perform
ances are going all around him, he sees
nothing. But it is one of the good, old
fashioned, one-ringed circuses, without
an army of poor performers. Enough
performers are carried to satisfy the
audience, and they are all good ones.
The acrobatic and gymnastic corps is
headed by John Quigley, one of the best
leapers and ground tumblers in America
The lofty somersaulting of this gentle
man from the spring board is marvellous,
and was received with cheers at both OF
yesterdays performances.
The riders are all good, and so are the
trapeze and tight wire performers. The
performing elephants are still with the
circus, and delighted the little folks, rs
did also the clowns. There is an unusu-
ally good brother act,' by the Doran
brothers, three nimble acrobats, and
clever turn is also given on the horizontal
bars. There is no very extensive men
agerie connected with the circus, but il
was not missed by the audience.
Performances will be given this after
noon and evening and again tomorrow.

But Not the One in the Circus-And 1t
Cost Him just Sc, 200.
An elderly man, who was well-dressed
and bore the appearance of respectability,
was brought to the police station early
yesterday morning in very drunken
condition. When searched he was found
to have $500 in his pockets.
Yesterday when he recovered from the
effects of his spree and was given his
money, he declared that he had been
robbed of S2,400, which sum he had
worked several years in Scotland to ac-
cumulate. He said that before he went
on his spree he asked hotel-keeper to
refused, stating that it was too large an
amount, and he was advised to deposit 1T
in the bank. He failed to do so, and the
FOUNDERS relieved him of it.
The army of thieves that infests the
lower portion Of the city will live high
for while on that $1,000. Despite the
spasmodic efforts of the police depart
ment to clear the city of the toughs, pimpS
and opium fiends who hang about Second
and l. streets, ever on the watch for
drunken men, the number seems to never
grow less.
A few nights ago RECoRD-UNIoN re-
porter, while looking for an officer to ar
rest the parties who robbed johnny
Burns of his watch, encountered a gang
of these fellows at Second and X streets
who had befuddled citizen in tow and
were trying to get him down TO some l.
street den to rob him. The reporter res
cued him for time and warned him of
his danger, but he wanted to ''go with the
boys" and did so, and doubtless was 1e-
lieved of everything of value he had
about him.
These things are of nightly occurrence,
and the dive-keepers-who are allowed
licenses to run their thieving places
stand in and divide with the thieves.
Why such things are allowed is a mys-
terry, since the whole gang could be run
out of town in twenty-four hours and the
dives all closed if the authorities did but
so will 1t.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
Iaent. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from 81 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16o and 320 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above Indicated, by the pay
lnent OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
eipai is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual ihstallments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land ut prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California Tor less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement Will prove to
home-seckers that this is an opportunity Tor
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should m2Se the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

it. The road overseer had endeavored to
carry off the water along the roadside TO
