Sam Jones has raised the devil, :"
SO to speak, in the town of Monroe,
on the whisky question. AS a di-
rect result of his preaching on the
subject of drunkenness, over 5000
person signed a petition to the may
or of the town and the police jury,
demanding that an election be Or
dered on the question of license or
no license. There is every reason
to believe that the town and parish
will both go "dry," and the sale OF
whisky stopped completely.

The usual logical argument o
the Populist is thus portrayed by
the Tennessee member of that po-
litical branch of Uncle Sans FAM
lily: "They tell u.s." exclaimed the
Populist, as he slammed the wind
with his scrawny arms and stamp
ed his big foot through the goods
box from which he promulgated his
doctrine, "that the low price of cot
ton is caused by the inevitable law
of supply and demand, and I claim

Mr.. Hugh Watson, at present
editor of the st. Mary Banner, but
formerly a sort of Peter Funk,
seeking for notoriety and posing
as philanthrophist deeply inter-
ested in Catalonia overflow suffer-

country editors.of Louisiana are a
set of fools, and that their heads
are "a cenglomeration of fat meat
and pus." Hugh ought to know,
as he is one of "us," but we will be
charitable to him. We don't be-
lieve he is as big a fool as the rest
He is unfortunate in being cheap
demagogue and knave, and simply
has not the perception to appreci-

The steamship Warrimoo arrived
yesterday afternoon, seven days from
Vancouver. She brought heavy
mail, $50 tons of freight and a num-
Der of passengers for this port. She
resumed her voyage about midnight.
The trading bark Helen w. Almy
recently arrived at San Francisco
from Butaritari, making the run in
80 DAYS, the best record from that
port. She reports the probable loss
Of the British barkentine Lady
Robinson, which sailed from Butari-
tart for Nukunau early in June for a
ten days voyage and has not since
been hear. of. She is supposed to
have been capsized. The vessel was
owned by the firm of On Chopg &

SAN FRANCIsco, Sept. 1.-THE
lieutenant commander of the United
States ship Adams, which has arriv-
ed from Behring sea, in an interview
said that the balance of the patrol
fleet may be expected here very
shortly. The Yorktown, which left
Sitka on the 31st of August for
Ounalaska, is due here IN about two
weeks. and the Ranger may be ex-
pected in a month or SO. The extent
of the damage to the keel timbers of
] the Adams through their contact

before she can obtain her turn IN the
dry dock, other vessels having the
right ahead of her.

race, from Liverpool to San Francis
CO, has been ended by the arrival of
the American ship Shenandoah. She
left the English port lis days ago
and five days later than the English
ship California, with which she was
racing. The two ships were III COM
pauy On June %, but the Shenandoah
gradually drew away from her con-
panion. Captain Murphy reports
that he had many vexatious Gains
and light winds or he would have
made this remarkably short trip
shorter. The Shenandoah beat the
Crown of Scotland, out 160 days, and
the Maria Accame, 173 days from the
same port.

a Great Trade.

The bark Oakland, which is load

10000 feet of lumber. 20 head of cat
tie and horses and 80 tons of general
merchandise.
This will be the first direct ship
ment from this port TO Hawaii, and
it is hoped that il will be the begin
ming of steady business with that
country. The bark has been chart
cred by George j. Wiley and the
shipment is consigned to Messrs.
King and McCandlass, the former a
hay and grain merchant, and the
latter a stockman and well borer.
Nr. King is highly pleased with the
quality of the goods selected and
predicts an immense trade between
this state and Honolulu. MIR.
McCandlass will sail on the bark and
Messrs. King and Wiley will take
passage on a steamer leaving San
Francisco September 20. The bark
will make the trip, barring accidents,
in about thirty days and when the
cargo is discharged will be reloaded
with a return cargo Of bananas,
cocoanuts, pineapples, ETC., for this
| market. Mr. Wiley has arranged
| TO have another cargo of hay, grain,
ETC., ready when the boat returns,
and will continue shipments as long

Missionary Work.

Within the next few days, says
the S. F. Bulletin of September II,
a new vessel will be launched in
this city. She will be known as
"The Ship of Zion, Evanelia," and
was built for the purpose of spread
ing the gospel of the sect which
owns it among the natives of the
Society Islands of the Pacific.
The money to build the craft was
contributed by the children of the
Sunday schools. The dimensions
of the boat, as surveyed by the
Customs authorities, are as follows {:
Over all, 45 feet; beam, Is feet !;
depth of hold, 6 feet, with ton
mage of 20 tons. The very best
material obtainable has been put
into her.
The Evanelia will fly the Ameri-
can flag and will be placed in com
mand Of Captain Burton, who will
sail her to the islands and turn her
over to a native preacher, who holds
a license from the French Govern
ment as a pilot.
According to Bishop Kelly there
are already in the Society Islands
2OOO native converts to the faith
The missionary boat is built fol-
speedy trips between the different
islands.

Survey by III. NJ s. PenSuin.

BRISBANE, Aug. 27.-H. Nj. S. Pen
gum arrived on Sunday on survey
ing cruise to tn northeast of Cape
Moreton. The Penguin left b isbane
some days ago to survey Pc. ton of
the proposed Pacific cable ronte.
Five days were spent in looking for
TIE ocean range of reef between
Mellish Reef and hampton Reef,
about 800 miles from Cope Moreton,
but reef could not be found. In
the supposed position of the reef
there is 1760 fathoms of water, but
five or six miles to the southwark a
small bank was discovered, on which
there is about 500 fatho-s of water.
Deep sea soundings were taken
about $50 miles northeast Of Clpe
Moreton, where the depth is 26OO
fathoms. During the trip the
weather was very good, but nasty
sea was running.

Lucania, Queen of the Ocean.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Lucania
reached Queenstown yesterday at
BAT a. M, making the passage from
New York in 5 days, s hours, 80
minutes. The Lucania's days runs
were: 447, 512, 494, 514, 500, 337,
making a total of 2.S1O knots, her
average speed nearing 21.S4 knots.
The singular feature of the trip IS
the fact that the Lucania's time for
both the eastward and westward
voyages are identically the same
namely, 5 days, s hours, 3S minutes
but on the present eastward trip
she covered twenty-three more miles
than on the record-breaking trip last
month. The Lucaaia, by her present
performance, firmly establishes her
position as queen of the sea, having
crossed the ocean in each direction
in less time than any other steamer.
She holds 21S9 knots, made last
June, and her $50 knots covered in
one day is still the record for the
longest days run.

A Horrible Suspicion.

Lysander Dickerson of Sterling, Ills,
thus writes to the Chicago Journal:
I'm recent issue of your paper 1 find
an item describing at some length the
moving Of the old Liberty bell into it's
new quarters in independence hall at
Philadelphia, and recital Of the safe
guards with which the historic relic is
now surrounded. In this item the bell
itself is described with more or less mi.
nuteness. The article recalls to my mind
the fact that some 45 years or SO ago,
in company with s. S.. Dana Of Wilkes
barre, Pa, 7 visited Independence hall
and naturally made close and careful
inspection Of this historic relic. At
this time there was a place foot or
more deep Clipped out at one Of the
outer edges. When it was exhibited at
the fair, there were no evidences Of van
dalism. This convinces me Of the truth
Of the story, which is generally unbe-
heved, to the effect that years ago the
old bell was sold to an enterprising
Yankee and by him worked. up into
dinkets. I claim to have one Of them. y

GENTLY discovered in Paris maker of
lantern slides who possessed secret
method which gave results of extraor-
binary brilliancy when the pictures
were thrown on screen. They saw at
once that there were no such lantern
slides produced on this side Of the At
lantio and proposed to each other to &C.
quire the secret from the Partisan own
er. They found that he was by no means
anxious to dispose of it.
Then they determined to tempt him
with large amount Of money. They
agreed to offer him the sum Of $50,
900 for his secret and to agree that it
should not be used commercially, but
only in an amateur way. They were
ready to pay even. more, but that was
their formal offer. To their surprise the
Frenchman replied that he would not
sell his secret for any amount Of money
that it was his alone; he had never
revealed it to any one, and he intended
it should die with him. He seemed, in
fact, as destitute Of the scientific spirit
as he was Of the desire for money

fA&.Alo Enlladelph1an Under Treatment
at the Flower Hospital. 81
@tsA novel mode Of treatment in an at
tempt temp to relieve a young man Of the
effects Of breaking his neck is being
tried at the Flower hospital The pa
ti q e11l is enveloped in a plaster cast from
the waist up, nothing but his face being
left bare. This is to prevent the slightest
movement Of the head or neck while the
muscles and bones are adjusting them
selves to their normal relations.
y The subject Of the treatment is George
Menge, 10 years old, Of Philadelphia.
Last January, while he was exercising
in a gymnasium, he fell from the hori-
zontal bar, striking on the back of his
head. The physician who was called in
said the muscles of the neck were
spralned, but after two weeks in bed
Menge, although able to sit up, could
not raise his head except by using his
hands. When his head was unsupport-
ed, 1T fell forward on his breast. AS he
had not recovered at the end of seven
weeks, he was sent to the Pennsylvania
hospital in Philadelphia, where an ex-
animation showed that his neck was
broken. An instrument was attached tc
his head to hold it in place, but no i'm.
provement resulted.
Three weeks ago Menge started fol-
the Catskills, intending to return tc
Philadelphia later for further treatment,
but while staying with some friends in
Brooklyn he was persuaded to put him
self under the care of DR.. William Tod
Helmuth at the Flower hospital. The
plaster cast will be kept upon Menge
until his recovery, of which the sur
geons are very hopeful, or until the
experiment is seen to be failure. If
successful, the patient will still be able
to get about with his head in a brace.
