During the. recent unpleasantness ‘between Hayti and England, when John Bull demanded the cession of Tortuga, an island lying to the north west of ‘San Domingo, the Ménroe doctrine was hurled at him with the significant warning, “hands off.” Instead of the island, the English received $250,000 in settlement of their claim’ and the Negro republic kept her territory intact. It is safe to say, that when the telegraph brought the news of the English demand, few people in the United States knew that such an island as Tortnga existed. Two hundred and fifty years ago, however, according to Hubert Howe Bancroft’s “History of Central America,” Tortuga played an-important part. In those times .it, was the base of operations forthe freebooters. who preyed upon. Spanish commerce in the West Indies. Thos. Walker, an Englishman, took possession of San Cristobal in 1825, where he was joined by a party of Frenchmen. The Spaniards sent a powerful fleet, which dislodged the. intruders; who then dispersed over the adjacent island. Organizing again, they captured Tortuga, where they’ erected a store-house and established headquarters for pirates of all nationalities. In 1638 Tortuga fell into the hands of the Spaniards. again. The freebooters were killed for the greater part, but as soon as the Spaniards left, other ‘pirates arrived. Their strength was now about three hundred. They elected a leader and recruited their numbers by French, English and Dutch volunteers. The monarchs, both of England and France, but especially. the: former, connived at, and even encouraged the freebooters, whose services could be obtained in time of war and whose actions could be disavowed in time of peace.’ Thus the fillibusters were for the most part at leisure to. hunt wild cattle and to pillage and massacre the Spaniards wherever they found an opportunity. When not on some _marauding expédition they. followed the chase and’one boy’s émployment was like that of another. Setting forth at daybreak, accompanied by their dogs and servants, they: continued their search until as many head of bullocks were slain as there were members in the party. Hides were thus provided to fill contracts with the captain of a trading vessel, which usually lay stationed in some neighboring bay, and were carried down to the sea-shore by bondsmen, who, under the name of apprentices, had been inveigled into a contract to serve for a term of years. For them there was no seventh or other day of rest. One: of these’ unsion to expostulate with his master, quoting the divine injunction with the preamble: ‘‘I.say unto thee, etc.” ‘And, Tsay unto’thee,”’ returned the buccaneer, ‘‘six days shalt thou kill bullocks, and strip them of their skins, and on the seventh day thou shalt carry their hides to the sea-shore.”’ Pat Campbell's Latest Enterg rise. The work of repairing the Golden Gate ditch and its branches which traverse over thirty miles of country extending from Wolf creek on the east to Smartsville on the west has been completed. These ditches, formerly used ‘in connection with hydraulic mining operations, now supply irrigating water to one of the most favored portions ot Nevada county, and the converting of them. to this Gfedsing the value of Tand all along the line of them. : Pat.

Hé. has an abiding faith that he will yet secure his rights, and~ for eyefy. blow that he receives from theénemy he gives back two. If Pat. Campbell should eventually die in defense of the cause so precious to him,-he will die with his face to the foe. If certain other miners had more of the same kind of pluck, it would be better for the gold-digging . business. . A Disgraceful Scene. There was enacted at the. corner of Pine and Commercial streets Wednesday evening shortly before dark a scene that should bring the blush of shame and indignation to every lawabiding citizen’s cheek. Those fanatical and simple-minded people known as the Salvationists came out. to hold a meeting there. They. were at once surropinded by a howling, jeering mob of badly-bred boys who heaped upon them all sorts of insults—jeered and mocked their prayers and songs, shoutéd ribald and sacreligious expressions at them, and even went so far as to roughly jostle against and try to push them down. ‘There were, strange to say, no officers at hand to preserve the peace. It is just such conduct as this on the part of the mob that will make friends and ‘supporters for the Salvation ‘‘cranks’’ if anything will, sis Take Notice.

The Oakland Tribune of Tuesday evening has this to say: Until quite recently we have neglected to a great extent the facilities we havein the matter of water in this State. While the great hydraulic mines of California were in operation an immense amount of water was used by them in working down the banks of auriferous gravel. Now that this industry has been stopped, the water from thereservoirs and streams runs to waste. Butit can be used for driving mills, machine shops, and furnishing power for all sorts of manufactories, All through central and northern California run hundreds of streams in which there isan abundant supply of water all the year round. But outside of mining the people have utilized this toa very small extent. Now, however, that we are turning gur attention more to manufactures than formerly, attention is being given to this source of power. At Grass Valley they now use the water power for running quartz mills, pumping, and hoisting ftom. mines, vtc. This has, of course; cheapened mining and milling. 'The exampleset at Grass Valley is being followed elsewhere. Over in the Comstock, Nevada, they are using water power . for pumping, and are about starting up “‘water mills’? for crushing ore. They put water wheels in, the shafts, run the water down,and by means of wire ropes connected with the wheels, carry the power to the mills, some distance away from the shafts. All through the northern cotinties of this State the quartz mill men are looking up the facilities for water power. In early mining days we used the old fashioned hurdy gutdy water wheel. It has gradually been improved. Now the Pelton and Knight wheels, with improvements on the old idea, have been perfected so that they utilize a very’ large portion of the power, much more, in fact, than was at one time throught possible with this class of wheel.-These wheels, made in this State, are being sent now all over the world, and are being made in numbers for use on this Goast. They have been sent for from South Africa, South America, and Australia. The type is the favorite in the East. As the towns and villages grow in prosperity, and more factories are established, all the water now running to waste in our mountain streams will be turned into’ the channels of industry. Unlikethe streams of southern California, those in the upper portions of the State do not run dry in the summer, and therefore furnish a never failing supply. Grass Valley's School Census.

The general impression prevails that Grass Valley has increased in population since last year, but the Census Marshal’s returns indicate to the contrary. While the number of Nevada City school children has increased 115 within a year, Grass Valley’s have decreased 118, There have been 78 births at this city and only 51 for Grass Valley. George R. Carson made the report at Grass Valley this year, and he is said to have exercised the utmost care in his work. If this be true, there must have been some ‘“monkeying”’ with Grass Valley’s census returns in former years. The Field Work Most Done. County Assessor Bond and _ his efficient corps of deputies will have completed by the middle of next week the year’s field work, and then the office will be the prinicipal scene of operations. The duties have been quite thoroughly performed, but not as they would have been had-the allowance for services been greater. As it is, chief Bond will not make m uch out of the office, as the pay for deputies will take thelion’s share of his salary.

A dispatch from Thos Angeles Tuesday stated that ex-Mayor E. F. Spence, who had just left that city, via San Francisco, for Europe, had, prior to starting, made a bequest of $50,000 toward an observatory to be known as the Spence Observatory. Furthermore that a total sum of $200,000 -necessary for the project would undoubtedly be raised. An_ Examiner reporter called on Mr, Spence Tuesday evening at the Baldwin Hotel in San Francisco. “T have not given the $50,000 conditionally, as the dispatch stated, on its being called the Spence Observatory,’ said Mr. Spence. ‘‘I made it without any proviso, other than that the observatory be built. on Wilson’s Peak, a magnificent mountain, fourteen miles northeast of Los Angeles. It is nearly’7,000 feet high; and as T believe there is no other observatory so far south, I think it will enable us to see some stars that cannot otherwise be viewed. “Tn connection with the donation I merely suggested also that the Mayor of-Los-Angeles, the President of the Southern California University and the principal municipal officers of the towns of Pasadena and Monrovia manage the bequest. I think there is no doubt at all that the other $150,000 will be raised. Plenty of wealthy people there stand ready. to furnish the. rest.’ Mr. Spence is President of the First National Bank of Los Angeles and is connected with six or seven other banks also. He, with Mrs. Spence, tieir daughter, Miss Maggie, and probably friends from Los Angeles, sail on Friday for Victoria, where they go East over the Canadian Pacific to Quebec, and thence by steamer to either London or Glasgow, for Mr. and Mrs. Spence want to see their old home in Ireland, from Which they have been absent many years. They visit all the principal cities of Europe. Mr.-Spence thinks the observatory will be pushed forward very rapidly, and thoroughly completed at an early date.

Mrs. Booth is Preaching effectively around in this neighborhood. \ % God is warning sinners in an awful way. The last day that Lieut.

On Sunday several of us went to visit a sick man, who had been a very wicked sinner, and was now given up by the doctor to die.

Outsiders frequently wonder where the railroads obtain proper return for some of the ingenious but costly methods adopted in advertising their lines.

A eae ee Under the direction of the New York State Board of Health, eighty-four different kinds of baking powders, embracing all the brands that could be found for sale in the State, were submitted to examination and analysis by Prof. C. F. Chandler, a Member of the State Board:and President of the New York City Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Edward G; Love; the well-known United States Government chemist. The official report shows that a large number of the powders examined were found to contain alum or lime; many of them to such an extent as to render thém seriously objectionable for use in the preparation of human food. Alum was found in twenty-nine samples. This drug is employed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The presence of lime is attributed to the impure cream of tartar of commerce used in their manufacture.— Such cream of tartar was.also analyzed, and found to contain lime and other impurities ; in some samples to the extent of 93 percent. of their entire weight. All the baking powders of the market, with the single exception of “‘Royal” (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which were long since liscarded as unsafe or insufficient: by prudent housekeepers) are made from the impure cream of tartar of commerce, and consequently contain lime to a corresponding extent. The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime and absolutely pure is the “Royal.’’ This perfect purity results from the exclusive use.of cream of tartar specially refined and. preparéd by patent processes which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and on account of this greater cost is used in no other ing powder but the “Royal.” Prof. Love, who made the analysis of baking powders for the New York State Board of Health, as well as for the Government, says of the purity and wholesoméness of the ‘Royal;’’ “I havotested a package of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased in the open market, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredi4ents.

This reminds me of a man who~once went to sea in a boat which was tipped over in a storm and the“man spilled out. He looked in all directions but could see no one to help him. He grabbed hold of the boat to save himself. It-Wwas no use, He lost his grip and down he went to the bottom. ~ Two years ago this competitor began @ clothing -war and advertised that suits he had been selling for $20 he would now sell for $9. All the profit he had been making according to his own admission then was $11 a suit, What he was really after was to get rid of his ‘Cheap John trash,’’ but he didn’t make it work, so he still has the trash on hand. I am willing for an expert to examine his stock and mine, and see where he will find the biggest lot of trash, For the last six months my sales have been so heavy that I have had to buy a fresh stock every month. I have the largest and best stock of any dealer‘in the county.

Through these pores in the form of insensible respiration, is expelled more than one-quarter of the nourishment taken into the system. The importance of keeping open these perspiration valves upon .a child’s ly, is second only to that of promptly digesting the food eaten. It was to open the pores of the skin and to assimilate the food that Dr. Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation, fevers ‘and eruptions which are so constant among infants and children, and which kill one-third of all children before they are five years old, arise principally from these two cause. It is from the ‘wonderful results attendant upon the use of Castoria in regulating the stomach and bowels and keeping open the pores of the: skin, that Castoria acquired its world-wide reputation. With’ plenty of water for the body, puire air for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the food, there need be no wnaccounted for sickness among children.

During the. recent unpleasantness ‘between Hayti and England, when John Bull demanded the cession of Tortuga, an island lying to the north west of ‘San Domingo, the Ménroe doctrine was hurled at him with the significant warning, “hands off.” Instead of the island, the English received $250,000 in settlement of their claim’ and the Negro republic kept her territory intact. It is safe to say, that when the telegraph brought the news of the English demand, few people in the United States knew that such an island as Tortnga existed. Two hundred and fifty years ago, however, according to Hubert Howe Bancroft’s “History of Central America,” Tortuga played an-important part. In those times .it, was the base of operations forthe freebooters. who preyed upon. Spanish commerce in the West Indies. Thos. Walker, an Englishman, took possession of San Cristobal in 1825, where he was joined by a party of Frenchmen. The Spaniards sent a powerful fleet, which dislodged the. intruders; who then dispersed over the adjacent island. Organizing again, they captured Tortuga, where they’ erected a store-house and established headquarters for pirates of all nationalities. In 1638 Tortuga fell into the hands of the Spaniards. again. The freebooters were killed for the greater part, but as soon as the Spaniards left, other ‘pirates arrived. Their strength was now about three hundred. They elected a leader and recruited their numbers by French, English and Dutch volunteers. The monarchs, both of England and France, but especially. the: former, connived at, and even encouraged the freebooters, whose services could be obtained in time of war and whose actions could be disavowed in time of peace.’ Thus the fillibusters were for the most part at leisure to. hunt wild cattle and to pillage and massacre the Spaniards wherever they found an opportunity. When not on some _marauding expédition they. followed the chase and’one boy’s émployment was like that of another. Setting forth at daybreak, accompanied by their dogs and servants, they: continued their search until as many head of bullocks were slain as there were members in the party. Hides were thus provided to fill contracts with the captain of a trading vessel, which usually lay stationed in some neighboring bay, and were carried down to the sea-shore by bondsmen, who, under the name of apprentices, had been inveigled into a contract to serve for a term of years. For them there was no seventh or other day of rest. One: of these’ unsion to expostulate with his master, quoting the divine injunction with the preamble: ‘‘I.say unto thee, etc.” ‘And, Tsay unto’thee,”’ returned the buccaneer, ‘‘six days shalt thou kill bullocks, and strip them of their skins, and on the seventh day thou shalt carry their hides to the sea-shore.”’ Pat Campbell's Latest Enterg rise. The work of repairing the Golden Gate ditch and its branches which traverse over thirty miles of country extending from Wolf creek on the east to Smartsville on the west has been completed. These ditches, formerly used ‘in connection with hydraulic mining operations, now supply irrigating water to one of the most favored portions ot Nevada county, and the converting of them. to this Gfedsing the value of Tand all along the line of them. : Pat.

There was enacted at the. corner of Pine and Commercial streets Wednesday evening shortly before dark a scene that should bring the blush of shame and indignation to every lawabiding citizen’s cheek. Those fanatical and simple-minded people known as the Salvationists came out. to hold a meeting there. They. were at once surropinded by a howling, jeering mob of badly-bred boys who heaped upon them all sorts of insults—jeered and mocked their prayers and songs, shoutéd ribald and sacreligious expressions at them, and even went so far as to roughly jostle against and try to push them down. ‘There were, strange to say, no officers at hand to preserve the peace.

The Oakland Tribune of Tuesday evening has this to say: Until quite recently we have neglected to a great extent the facilities we havein the matter of water in this State. While the great hydraulic mines of California were in operation an immense amount of water was used by them in working down the banks of auriferous gravel. Now that this industry has been stopped, the water from thereservoirs and streams runs to waste. Butit can be used for driving mills, machine shops, and furnishing power for all sorts of manufactories, All through central and northern California run hundreds of streams in which there isan abundant supply of water all the year round. But outside of mining the people have utilized this toa very small extent. Now, however, that we are turning gur attention more to manufactures than formerly, attention is being given to this source of power. At Grass Valley they now use the water power for running quartz mills, pumping, and hoisting ftom. mines, vtc. This has, of course; cheapened mining and milling. 'The exampleset at Grass Valley is being followed elsewhere. Over in the Comstock, Nevada, they are using water power . for pumping, and are about starting up “‘water mills’? for crushing ore. They put water wheels in, the shafts, run the water down,and by means of wire ropes connected with the wheels, carry the power to the mills, some distance away from the shafts. All through the northern cotinties of this State the quartz mill men are looking up the facilities for water power. In early mining days we used the old fashioned hurdy gutdy water wheel. It has gradually been improved. Now the Pelton and Knight wheels, with improvements on the old idea, have been perfected so that they utilize a very’ large portion of the power, much more, in fact, than was at one time throught possible with this class of wheel.-These wheels, made in this State, are being sent now all over the world, and are being made in numbers for use on this Goast. They have been sent for from South Africa, South America, and Australia. The type is the favorite in the East. As the towns and villages grow in prosperity, and more factories are established, all the water now running to waste in our mountain streams will be turned into’ the channels of industry. Unlikethe streams of southern California, those in the upper portions of the State do not run dry in the summer, and therefore furnish a never failing supply. Grass Valley's School Census.

A dispatch from Thos Angeles Tuesday stated that ex-Mayor E. F. Spence, who had just left that city, via San Francisco, for Europe, had, prior to starting, made a bequest of $50,000 toward an observatory to be known as the Spence Observatory. Furthermore that a total sum of $200,000 -necessary for the project would undoubtedly be raised. An_ Examiner reporter called on Mr, Spence Tuesday evening at the Baldwin Hotel in San Francisco. “T have not given the $50,000 conditionally, as the dispatch stated, on its being called the Spence Observatory,’ said Mr. Spence. ‘‘I made it without any proviso, other than that the observatory be built. on Wilson’s Peak, a magnificent mountain, fourteen miles northeast of Los Angeles. It is nearly’7,000 feet high; and as T believe there is no other observatory so far south, I think it will enable us to see some stars that cannot otherwise be viewed. “Tn connection with the donation I merely suggested also that the Mayor of-Los-Angeles, the President of the Southern California University and the principal municipal officers of the towns of Pasadena and Monrovia manage the bequest. I think there is no doubt at all that the other $150,000 will be raised. Plenty of wealthy people there stand ready. to furnish the. rest.’ Mr. Spence is President of the First National Bank of Los Angeles and is connected with six or seven other banks also. He, with Mrs. Spence, tieir daughter, Miss Maggie, and probably friends from Los Angeles, sail on Friday for Victoria, where they go East over the Canadian Pacific to Quebec, and thence by steamer to either London or Glasgow, for Mr. and Mrs. Spence want to see their old home in Ireland, from Which they have been absent many years. They visit all the principal cities of Europe. Mr.-Spence thinks the observatory will be pushed forward very rapidly, and thoroughly completed at an early date.

A eae ee Under the direction of the New York State Board of Health, eighty-four different kinds of baking powders, embracing all the brands that could be found for sale in the State, were submitted to examination and analysis by Prof. C. F. Chandler, a Member of the State Board:and President of the New York City Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Edward G; Love; the well-known United States Government chemist. The official report shows that a large number of the powders examined were found to contain alum or lime; many of them to such an extent as to render thém seriously objectionable for use in the preparation of human food. Alum was found in twenty-nine samples. This drug is employed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The presence of lime is attributed to the impure cream of tartar of commerce used in their manufacture.— Such cream of tartar was.also analyzed, and found to contain lime and other impurities ; in some samples to the extent of 93 percent. of their entire weight. All the baking powders of the market, with the single exception of “‘Royal” (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which were long since liscarded as unsafe or insufficient: by prudent housekeepers) are made from the impure cream of tartar of commerce, and consequently contain lime to a corresponding extent. The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime and absolutely pure is the “Royal.’’ This perfect purity results from the exclusive use.of cream of tartar specially refined and. preparéd by patent processes which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and on account of this greater cost is used in no other ing powder but the “Royal.” Prof. Love, who made the analysis of baking powders for the New York State Board of Health, as well as for the Government, says of the purity and wholesoméness of the ‘Royal;’’ “I havotested a package of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased in the open market, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredi4ents.

Through these pores in the form of insensible respiration, is expelled more than one-quarter of the nourishment taken into the system. The importance of keeping open these perspiration valves upon .a child’s ly, is second only to that of promptly digesting the food eaten. It was to open the pores of the skin and to assimilate the food that Dr. Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation, fevers ‘and eruptions which are so constant among infants and children, and which kill one-third of all children before they are five years old, arise principally from these two cause. It is from the ‘wonderful results attendant upon the use of Castoria in regulating the stomach and bowels and keeping open the pores of the: skin, that Castoria acquired its world-wide reputation. With’ plenty of water for the body, puire air for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the food, there need be no wnaccounted for sickness among children.
