Iir seems Almost Human.

A negro monkey LogotiriX HUMBOLDT
tiD has recently been purchased by the
London Geological Society. He has not
vet been publicly exhibit but isat pres
emit under the care of the keeper in the
inner room of the monkey hose g. the
society's gardens, where he has been kept
for the sake of warmth since his arrival
during the very cold weather. The mon
KEY was in an exhausted condition when
he arrived at Regents Park, but having
been well nuIsed by the keeper he now
seems quite himself again, and playful in
his own quiet way. His face, which is
devoid of hair, his hands and the hair on
his head are jet black, so that he has the
appearance Of a diminutive negro two
feet high, dressed in n suit of grayish
brown fur. This view, Of course, disre-
CARDS the long prehensile tail which he
possesses in common with his cousins,
the monkeys of the New World. This
tail is devoid of hair on the under side,
near the end, the bare part having the
same texture as the palms of the hands,
and the tip seeming to curl automatic
ally round any convenient object with
which it may come in contact This par
ticular Logothrix Humboldt likes to be
fondled by his keeper, readily coming out
of his cage, and as readily returning, be-
having generally in a very self contained
manner. He sits and talks" in his way
in little whistling voice, slightly show
ing a row Of even white teeth, and forms
a striking contrast in disposition TO his
neighbors in the two opposite cages. One
of these neighbors gets enraged if he is
looked at, while the other is so shy that
he turns away his face when spoken to.

ritory bears to the assessed value
of the property in the whole county
as constituted before the division
thereof" The point that we desire
to make by presenting this law is
not that the property of our tax
payers would, had the apportion-
ment been made, have been pledged
for the payment of the county's in
debtedness, but that it would have
been pledged for the payment of a
debt improperly and unjustly sad
died upon our county.
But why should Alturas county
pay this $4,000? It is clear that
the $4,000 of interest money ac-
crued after the division. 1t should,
therefore, be equally clear that its
apportionment should have been
directed by the act OF division, and
that it should have been appor-
toned precisely as the rest of the
debt was directed to be apportioned.
Again, the floating debt of $50, 900
was clearly contracted before the
division of the county took place.
1t was, therefore, a part of the debt
of the old county, and in justice
must be apportioned with and like
the rest. This much should be clear
to all. It may, however, be argued
that Alturas, county retains the
court house and should for that
reason pay the bonds issued for its
construction. Not SO. AS has been
remarked, the court house was built
out of the revenues and for the uses
of an empire more than equaling
the Republic Of Switzerland. Hav-
ing been deprived, by the act of
division, of this vast and rich do
main, deprived of the revenues aris-
ing from it, which induced US to
contract the debt, and out of which
we expected to pay it, with court
house on our hands capacious and
expensive enough for the great
county for which it was designed
and built, those who have taken our
means should take proportionately
of our liabilities. Is not this good
common sense and justice? We
think it is; and because we think
it, we think those who have saved
us from falling into the apportion-
ment trap deserve at least the need
of praise usually bestowed upon the
authors of a public-spirited deed.

A BELLEVUE correspondent ofthe

ment of growls at the shadow of
our late departed legislature. That
assemblage of statesmen it seems
actually levied tax of 5000 year
on local brewers, while permitting
the importation of Milwaukee and
Salt Lake beer without the payment
of any license at all. AS further
display of its legislative genius and
originality it provided for the ap-
portionment Of the school moneys
Of the state by the number of dis
tricts instead. of by the number of
children reported. Perhaps, after
all, the laws are so bad Secretary
Pinkham is ashamed to have them

JUDGE STocKsLAGER's decision in
the matter of Pecotte VS.. w. H.
Watt, County Treasurer of Alturas
county, neither sustains the COM
missioners nor the plaintiff. The
point and the only point it does
settle, is that if any cause of COM
plant exists the law affords plain,
adequate and sufficiently speedy
remedy, and that a court of equity
may not, therefore, interfere. But
we think this settles it, nevertheless
for, If the case were prosecuted by
sincere and responsible parties, who
have the welfare of the taxpayers
instead of private malice and the
strengthening of combination of
usurers in view; and if the county
commissioners have made excess
i've allowances, which is by no
means admitted, verdict against
them would still be very difficult to
procure. Because many men would
honestly agree with the commits
sioners, as the grand jury has al
ready done; while many others who
might not wholly agree with them,
would hesitate to render a verdict
that would be virtually an impeach-
ment of the integrity of the COM
missiOners, unless it could be shown
and no such showing can be
made-that they have acted cor
ruptly in the matter. It is one thing
for an irresponsible bulgarian to
accuse good citizens of official COR
ruption and malfeasance, and quite
another thug to procure their con-
Viction before jury of twelve re-
spectacle men, for the reason that
gentlemen of character respect char
acter in others and will protect it.
Therefore the less money the tax
payers expend in prosecuting suit
having very shadowy foundation,
if any, and the sooner it is out Of
court the better it will be for all par
ties except scrip buyers and these
latter are so small part of the
whole that their interests are not to
be considered as against the inter-
ests of the whole. Let the plaintiff
in this case bear the expense of the
prosecution and we promise you
his enthusiastic devotion to the well
fare OF the taxpayers will prove the
phortest-lived plant that ever veg
elated in Alturas county.
