LOCAL PATRIOTISM.
The "Bee'' Says the ''Record Union

The s'Bee'' Says the Record -Unfon'
Has Plenty of 1t.
Since the RECORD UNION entered upon
its new volume, on the I'D inst, our CO.
temporaries have been saying some very
pleasant and complimentary things
about US. Our nearest neighbor, the Bee.
has really wanted to join in the general
praise of the RECoRD-UNIoN, but has
been deferred from doing so because it
has lately been very much agitated over
certain little advertisements of the paper
which appeared in what are known as
"ear-marks." However, last evening it
was sufficiently good natured again to
say:
'We had intended to say something
pleasant about our highly esteemed CO.
temporary across.the street upon the occa-
sion OF the completion Of its new volume,
for, with all its eccentricities of self
praise, it Is not devoid of its good points.
In reading the RECoEDUNIoN for the
past month, however, we have noticed
that it has constantly paraded itself as
being possessed of all the perfections OF
the most ideal journalism, and none of
the faults of the real. TO insert word of
praise that it has not itself used, OF and
concerning itself, would be useless; to at
tempt to say something new in COM
mendation would be like gliding refined
gold or painting the lily.
''The Bee. however. can say that the
RECoRD-UNIoN certainly deserves praise
from the citizens of Sacramento for its
intense local patriotism. 1t has always
battled arduously for the interests of the
city, and has been it's champion on each
and every available occasion. 1t has
never missed an opportunity to present
the merits and advantages of the Capital
City strongly before the whole state, ana
for that it is entitled to great share of
the public credit"

INDUSTRIAL IMPROVEMENT

Some Money to Be Called in at Once
for Preliminary Work.
a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Sacramento Industrial Improvement
Association was held yesterday after
noon, there being present Messrs. d.
Lubin, C. A. Luhrs. w. f. Gormley, J.
II. Arnold, J. O. Coleman, L. Tozer, w.
A. Curtis and G. b. katzenstein.
The subject considered was the result
of the meeting of note-signers held at the
Courthouse on Saturday evening, when
it was resolved to recommend the en-
ployment Of c. c. Howell, and 90 ahead
with the industrial improvement enter
prise.
spirit Of proper conservatism pre-
vailed, it being thought best for the pro-
lection and satisfaction of all to proceed
cautiously and carefully. With that end
in view 1t was deemed wise to test the
sincerity Of all the friends of the move
ment. Certain preliminary expenses are
needful. and probably y, 900 will be re-
quired to do the work necessary along
this line.
1t was therefore requested that the
larger nOte-signers be requested to pay a
certain proportion of their note subscrip-
ton TO aid the directory in defraying and
liquidating the necessary preliminary eX-
penses, as a test of the enterprise the
amount so paid to be credited as pay
ment on account of their notes.
If funds sufficient are thus obtained to
make a preliminary test, it is proposed to
Immediately employ c. G. Howell for a
limited period, and commence active Op-
erations at once. On the other hand, if
those Interested are unwilling to submit
to the test of contributing toward the ex-
pense Of the effort. nothing more can be
done.
A committee from the Board of Direct
Ors will call upon the larger note-signers
within the next two days, and it is hoped
that they will be met in liberal spirit.

BOOKS AND READING.
Remarks on the Subject by Rev. j
HOrner.

Remarks on the Subject by Rev. T j.
Horner.
In his discourse before the Unitarian
congregation on Sunday Rev. Mr.. Horner
spoke of little incident having occurred
lately in connection with the public
library which had called his atten-
ton TO the quality of the books
placed in it from time to time by the
committee chosen for that purpose, and
he had been very favorably impressed
with the selections made. Considering
the enormous number Of new books IS
sued each year lover 5000 in England
alone the people of Sacramento have
good cause to congratulate themselves
over the selections made by the Library
Committee
Books he said, are friends and compan-
ions of the mind. and a glance at One's
book table tells at once the character OF
the owner. Books interpret our own
inner thoughts to us, and call into exist
ence the latent energies Of the soul, either
for good or evil.
Through books we commune with all
those who in every land and cline think
III sympathy with US and interpret best
for US those desires that lie deep within
the uneXplored regions Of the intellectual
life.
" 4SuOIil OI CuOlc6 Is Oh ITSL iii pOIldilC6s
1or, whether we Will 1t or not, whatever
We read leaves It's impression and colors
for US the lens through which the eyes OF
the soul look out upon the world.
The mind of youth is especially inn
pressionable. Character marks made
early are not easily erased, if ever. The
pictures left by reading pernicious books
early in life sink into the very tissue OF
the mind, and no matter what may be
printed over them afterward, like the
characters on an ancient palimpsest, they
reappear in after years TO mar the beauty
OF what was afterward traced there.
The mind of child is not the blank
sheet of paper that Locke thought it. 1t
is in a sense sheet ready to be written
upon; but more than that, it has the
water marks" of the great factory from
which 1t came stamped upon 1.-THE char
acters of the ancestral experiences of
ages ready to show themselves the mo-
ment the sheet is held up to the light.
Beside these it has Unborn qualities OF its
own, God-given, for the development of
which it is responsible to him. But Gods
providence does not begin until mans
fingers are done working; and the child's
early years are ours, and we are reSpOn-
sible for the direction his energies take.
Let US consider then with care what
books are placed in his way, and let us
guide his reading into those channels
that will develop the latent powers of his
mind and heart toward those ideas that
we have come to know are good and true
and that appeal to the best that is in man.
Create a thirst for what is best, and what
is unworthy will make little or no inn
preston. He who drinks from a living
spring will not drink from a muddy
river.

How and Why 1t Came in Contact With
Schimminger's Head.
About the middle of last December
there was lively row at the CIunie
Opera-house one night, after the "opera''
was over, in which Special Officer w. J.
Thompson was drawn into conflict with
some young men who had been drink
ing and making a noise in the theater.
and one of them lotto Schimminger) re-
ceived a whack on the head from Thomp-
sons cane.
The officer claimed that gang of the
roysterers waited for him to ''do him
up" because he had reprimanded them
for making a noise during the perform
ance. and that he simply defended him
self.
However, Schimminger caused Thomp-
sons arrest on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, and yesterday the case
came up for hearing in Judge Catlin's
court, District Attorney Ryan appear
ing for the people and Hinkson and Van
Fleet for the defense.
Considerable testimony was taken, and
the case went over until to-day.

PLAoAR'S FRUIT INTERESTS.
Action Taken at Meeting of Grower
af Danrvn.

at Penryn.
The Placer County fruit-growers met
at Penryn on Saturday last.
The first business considered was the
matter of the objections of landowners
north of Auburn, who object to the build
ing of the new ditch by the South Yuba
Water Company. 1t occasioned strong
expression of feeling and interest in the
affair, and which resulted in the follow
ing action:
ReS0LUed, That we, at a mass meeting
assembled of the fruit-growers of Placer
County, at Penryn, this 9th day of Feb
Tuary, 1884. hear with surprise and the
deepest regret that objections are being
raised by certain landowners in the
northern part of the county to the build
ing of the large new ditch by the South
Yuba Water Company, which is designed
to largely increase the water supplies Of
central and southern Placer County, and
we hereby express ourselves in hearty
support of the eXertiOns of the South
4uba Company in the building OF the
proposed new ditch.
ReS0toed, That copy of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to John Spaulding,
the agent of the South Yuba Water Com
pany, and that copies be forwarded to the
several newspapers of the county for
publication.
After considerable discussion relative
to the formation of united county fruit
organization, and in view of the tact that
several OF the already existing local CO.
operative companies had entered into
obligations with fruit-groWers, by ad-
vances OF money, purchase of materials
and investment of capital in shares,
which would make it difficult for such
company owners TO engage in a new
organization, however desirable for the
general good, without reconciliation Of
already existing interests, it was deemed
eXpedient to investigate those interests
and consider the possibilities Of combin-
ing them in a general consolidation which
would accomplish the great objects of
union.
Ii was unanimously resolved that a
committee of three be appointed to invite
and meet representatives Of each and
every fruit company in the county, which
should be composed of fruit-growers, to
meet at Newcastle, to consider a county
organization for mutual interest and
support; that such meeting should be
held prior to March 10th, and that said
committee shall be authorized to act in
the premises and shall report results at
the next meeting of the fruit-growers, to
be held at Penryn on Saturday, March
10th, at P. NJ. The following committee
was appointed: Hon. a. 2. Hall of
Penryn, Captain j. w. Mccain of Au-
burn and Major q. II. Turner of Loomis.
The meeting was then adjourned, and
that of the Placer County Horticultural
Society was called to order, which, alter
a brief convention, was adjourned to the
same date as previously mentioned for
that of the truit-growers, March 10th, at

contagious diseases and to special diseases
of liver, stomach and kidneys.
These important organs. whose duty it
is to feed the tissues and keep the blood
pure, feel the lack of nervous energy
quickest. They require more nerve force
than other parts of the body. The result
is breakdown in heart, lungs, kidneys,

The different organs of the body select
from the food the nourishment appropri
ate to them. Paine's celery compound is
especially prepared to furnish at once
abundant nutrition to badly fed nerves
and impoverished blood.
