The Road to Yosemite.
I Napa Daily Register. I

Comparatively few Californians have
visited Yosemite Valley They say it
is too hard, too expensive. a journey
to make. Our people go to Nj
agar1 alls to hear travellers talk about
the instchless falls of Yosemite. and to
Switzerland to again hear the praises
of their grandest valley sounded. Globe
trotters determined to look upon the
worlds wonders, bridge the difficulties
that pile up in their pathway and in
spite Of the hard road they must travel
they Go not leave our State in passing
without peep at the loneliness and
sublimity of Yosemite. Now these con-
ditions should be somewhat changed
The Yosemite belongs to the State, and
the rough territory that surrounds it
is owned by the nation, and the Sac
ramento Record Union is urging a
good scheme when it earnestly asks
the people of this State to petition the
Federal Government to construct a
first-class wagon road across its own
lands over the most approved lines into
the valley. Access to the valley should
be made easy. This done the poor as
well as the rich may see it. If the
Record Union" will send one of its
petitions to the Register we will I'M

it may be more than a few.

BARNUM's GREATEST CARD.
He Jumped at an offer of Swed.
ish nightingale.

Here is curious story about that
famous Swedish cengstress, Jenny Lind:
Goldschmidt, the Swedish canta-
trice's aceompanist, had gone to Amer
lea to seek his fortune. II had been a
hard parting, for he loved the singer
Che afterward married herr, and the re-
suit was disappointment. He was
about to return home when he met
Barnum and complained of being I'M
happy. He had tried everything-''cir-
Gus, violin virtuosos, dancers, educated
apes, learned lecturers all in vain.
Then Goldschmidt suggested that he
knew singer in England who might
be card in America, says the Chicago
Chronicle. -
"A stranger? Pah! What's her
name?" said Barnum
Jenny Lind"
That's no name retorted Barnum.
But she sings beautifully"
Good thing for her, but no business
for me-"
But she's the greatest singer in Eng
land"
Better still for her: but well talk
about something else" said the prince
of MANAGERS.
After awhile spent in talk on other
subjects Goldsmith returned to the
attack.
Gracious" Barnum broke in impa-
tiently, leave me in peace with your
singer. We have as many singers as
there are sands on the seashore"
Pity" replied Goldschmidt, care
lessly. Perhaps, after all, something
might be done with the Swedish night
ingale"
Barnum leaped to his feet. Whats
that? Swedish"
That's what they call her in Eng
land"
What is she called?'
The Swedish nightingale
The Swedish nightingale? Write at
once to Miss Jenny Lind. I will engage
her for 100 concerts; $4,000 down, free
voyage and living for three persons.
At once!"
But, my dear friend, you haven't
heard har!"
Heard her! What the devil do [
know about music? Swedish nightin-
galei Immense! And you, unlucky
wretch, have waited till now before
telling me!"-New York Mail and Elk

Exceptions are taken by some par
ties to the statement in the Record
Union" that the cesspools of the city
are so numerous as to be a menace,
poisoning the soil by saturation. We
are asked, for instance, by real es
| tate dealer, what good it will do to
make such statements. and if it is not
a fact that this is the healthiest city
out of doors? The Record Union"
stated the truth. 1t simply set forth
a condition that all sanitarians, every
where and with perfect unanimity
agree upon as the result of all human
experience. 1t is very true that Sac
ramento is a very healthy city. But
it is also true that it is healthful in
spite of the cesspool system. The
statement was made TO emphasize the
truth that we need an improved sewer
sysem, and to move the people still
more to demand it, and to vote for the
proposition about to be submitted TO
| establish one. If epidemic disease
should strike Sacramento, we would
find out very speedily what a menace
the cesspool system is to the people.
| We cannot afford to take the chances
of such a contingency. Moreover, grow
ing, well ordered cities always aban-
| don old and condemned systems in favor
of better and scientific systems of
| drainage and sewage. The Record
| Union does not fear to speak the
truth about the matter. Retained
filth in a porous soil is bad. and all the
world knows it, for those who live upon
the surface of such soil. If the objec
| tors to whom We refer have any doubt
| Of that, let them ask any member Of
the several Boards of Health, whose
/ Office it is to be Well informed upon
these subjects. The good such state
ments does, is to bring about reform,
and that is always and everywhere
benefcent. Our horizon is not limited
by the desire of real-estate agents to
make sales.
