toxy leaders were quick to recognise.
HI uniform plan was TO fall upon the
federal cantonments in front and rear,
and persuade them that their whole
force was menaced. As he says in his
book, he considered that he had done a
great thing when, with . few followers,
he had kept half the army Of Hooker,
for instance, from getting nights
sleep. which he undoubtedly frequently
did.
His book strikingly emphasized one
thing, and that is the worthlessness of
the saber as weapon of war. In
hundred hand to hand fights the fed
eral cavalry relied on the saber, while
Mosby's men employed the deadly re-
volver lin every case with deadly exc
cution on scattered federal detach-
ments. A hundred times Mosby
escaped capture BY knightly
courage and daring that recall the
most sensational episodes of chivalry.
His splendid work was steadily recog-
nized by his superiors, and the private
at length became colonel. 1t is mat
ter of fact that this famous and romantic
confederate partizan leader is great
stickler for his title of colonel. To call
him general" annoys him excessively.
Those who desire to peruse stirring
chapters of military adventure would do
well to read his book. He brings it to
q conclusion abruptly, as if he were
tired OF recounting the moving accidents
Of flood and field of which he was the
hero. In some unaccountable freak he
stops at the incidents leading up to the
battle of Gettysburg. General j. E. B.
Stuart is his darling ideal Of great
cavalry leader. His book begins and
ends with afectionate tributes to Stuart
and skillfully argued defences of that
distinguished southern leaders general
ship and personal excellence.
In the frontispiece to the work Grant
and the Count de Paris pay striking tes-
timony to Mosby's character and
heroism.

"a aHowL."

NE. EDITOR: Although my taxes are small,
yet they are as burdensome to me Gs II paid
much more. And as taxpayer, feel that
have q right to crihcise those extravagances
that are factors In the creation of high taxes
have in my mind the county hospital No
sooner does the impccunious citizen become
broken down and dcbilitated, than he rushes of
to the hospital Even persistent dyspepsia and
constipation are getting to be excuses for admis-
sion. Hence, allow me space to enter my feeble
protest against further continuance of this per-
nicious practice. It costs the county many
hard dollars for the treatment of every one of
these unfortunates, and it Is high time that they
should know that they can save tho county that
expense, and themselves those distressing all
ments, by the tudicious use Of few bottles Of
Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, "a remedy that
within my observation is sovereign cure for
those too common disorders. If they won't take
1t they ought to be compelled to by some law
that would meet the case. Under the circum-
stances full hospital IL inexcusable. - hence
this growL CITIZEN.

the first condition Of the basis Of peace
to-wit: the retiring of the armies from
the frontier in forty-eight houre-was
about to be carried out under
my directions ae dean Of the diplomatic
corps, necessitating my constant pres
ence at the legation to compose any
difficulties that might arise. On the
25th Of August the two hostile armies
estimated at 10000 on each side after
several severe battles, confront
ed each other on the frontier, await
ing the efforts of the diplomatic corps
to effect peace, which, as stated by the
president, was contaminated through
the active efforts of the representative
OF the United States (Mizner) on the
next day; go that on the 9th, 28th and
10Th of August, the all-absorbing ques-
tion was peace to over two million peo-
pie; and the arrest of citizen of
Guatemala on one of our merchant
ships, either in time of war or peace.
was an inconsiderable matter compared
with the vast interests involved; !;
as no one could possibly feresee
that the person to be arrested would re.
sist; nor could it be supposed that the
person wac armed, and would first fire
on his benefactor, the captain of the
ship, or that any fatality whatever
would occur.
Miner says he is sure full investi-
CATION by congressional committee
will exonerate him fully. He cites the
Gomez case, and declares that it is
similar to the Barrundia affair.
Continuing, he Gays: In the presi-
dents first annual message it was said
that diplomacy should be frank and
free from intrigue" thereby implying
that it had not been SO in the past. II,
as must be conceded, Guatemala had an
undoubted right to arrest Barrundia,
would it have been frank to have thrown
any obstacle in the way OF the exercise of
that right. On the contrary, would it
not have been Intrigue" to have abet-
ted the captain Of the Acapulco in evad-
ing the temporary international law, as
we exercise the right to arrest all kinds
of offenders on foreign merchant ships
when in our ports? On the 4th of July
last Captain Pitts permitted the author
tiles OF Salvador to arrest Seilor
Delgade, minister OF foreign relations of
that republic, and take him against his
will from the steamer Acapulco, as per
his affidavit sent you. 1t would seem
that the same privilege should
have been extended to Guatemala.
These republics have in a

PERHAPS one of the most flippant
journals Of California in it's references
to Los Angeles is the San Francisco
Wasp. That lively { p sheet is never so
happy as when it intimates that ali we
have to depend upon hereabouts il the
eastern invalid. And this notwi th stand-
ing the fact that we have never tried to
build here either an invalid or tourists
hotel. The truth is that no people who
have figured on any portion Of the
American continent naye cared less for
catering to invalids than our own.
When the Princess Louise and her hus-
band, the Marquis OF Lorne, desired to
spend several months in Los Angeles.
none OF our hotel keepers would put
themselves out Of the way to cater to
them. The result was that, after a brief
stay in Los Angeles, and week or SOS
sojourn in Santa Barbara, the .royal
party betook themselves to the Ber-
mudas. We will just remind our viva
cious contemporary that while San
Francisco, as shown by the last census,
has only increased elk per cent. in pop
ulation during the last decade, Los An
geles by the same authority has in
creased five-fold, or nearly hundred to
one. We think we can rest on this
comparison.

In ITS "Chats With People," in its
issue of the 23d instant, the San Fran
cisco Post has the following from our
late towpsman:
l. W. Hellman, president of the Ne
vada bank--I don't mind telling you
now secret which would have had a
bad effect on public credit here if it had
been known last December. The Nevada
bank transferred last month between
100000 and $3,0O0,0OO from its New
York branch to San Francisco to tide
over the stringency here. December is
always hard month here for money, as
all taxes are paid then, and the savings
banks refuse loans because they want to
pay good dividends. So extreme was
the pressure here that many loans on
gilt-edged security were called in. This
tightness of the money market ended
the moment taxes were paid, and the
city government began to return some
of this money. | am strong advocate
OF the semi-annual payment OF taxes,
and | believe the present legislature will
provide for this. 1t will help San Fran
cisco and the whole state.
