Social Law and Rank.
The Pavilion is a great catholie church,
where we are all devotees, on & common
footing, at that shrine of necessity which is
called Industry, and weareall dutiful subjects to social law, wherein the ladies are
the law-givers though in aroundabout way.
There no aristocracy is to be seen, no privileged class taking rank above another, nobody so great a fool as to permit others to
suspect that he feels himself in any manner
above the grand level of the educated mass.
There is not a coxcomb, nor a flirt, nor an
empty-headed rich man or his wife, nor a
fledgeling collegian with his head full of
impractical theorems and vanities, iu San
Francisco, or on the coast, but recognizes,
the moment he passes the door-keeper, the
existence of this spirit of democracy, or
he suffers sad damage in a thousand criticaleyes. No worthless Prince comes here
to be toadied; no lordling, who has attained
power and the outward manner which soon
follows consciousness of its possession, by
unjust favor of law—instead of by proud,
democratic, manly endeavor — expecting,
though unobtrusively, if he be a gentleman, that others shall step aside for him.
No ‘F, N.’s,” nor owners of Spanish
leagues, can be distinguished here from an
exhibitor of a hydraulic nozzle. In short,
while there is not wanting a great deal of
superior mental and physical material, there
could not be found in all the world a better
representation of an intelligent republican
community than that which we witness in
the nightly frequenters of the Institute
Pavilion.
The social lines are not yet drawn with
distinctness in California, and social law, if
measurably defined, perhaps has inefficient
executors. But social law, with its attending ostracism, is an inherent necessity, and
some kind of separation into classes is inevitable in the nature of man, as is sufficiently
evidenced in history.
The elements of social rank and of California society of the future, are all exhibited openly and unrestrainedly at the Fair,
and that is the reason why you, reader—
though you were not aware of if—have
been coming here night after night and
oking at the people, iustead of looking at
inanimate things and machines.
Meucuantics’ Instrrure xn OaKnanp.—The
eight-hour league af Oakland has resolved
itself into a Mechanics’ Institute, similar
to that of San Francisco, and the following
gentlemen were elected as officers pro iem:
President, C. A. Wetmore; Secretary, W.
D. Harwood; Treasurer, W. B. Hardy. The
Committee on Organization and Arrangements is composed of A. C. Henry, W.
Prosser, Jas. N. Olmey, J. Anderson, C. L.
Lucas, D. G. Barnes, F. L. Taylor, J. 8.
Emery, J. H. Ellis, J. J. McCready, R. N.
Murray, E. L. Wetmore, C. B. Rutherford,
Y. L. Eastland. Asa committee to solicit
members and donations, the following
names were nominated and clected: IF.
Cook, J. A. Magagnos, W. B. Bagley, 8. F.
Mead, J. W. Hand, C. B. Rutherford, W.
B. Hardy, J. S. Emery, Dr. E. H. Pardec
aud §. Hirschberg.
ALcoHoL FROM Woop.—In the process of
making paper from wood, round disks of
wood are first subjected to the action of hydrochloric ncid to dissolve out the spongy
cellulose. This latter has,” until lately,
been a waste product, but is now converted
into aleohol in this way. The wood is
boiled for twelve hours in hydrochloric
acid, diluted with ten times its volume of
water. The acid liquid, which is charged
with grape sugar formed from the spongy
cellulose, is tllen withdrawn, the excess of . acid saturated with lime or chalk, ond a
small quantity of yeast is added, the temperature being kept at about 68° Fah. Fermentation soon ensues, and when bubbles
of carbonic acid gas are no longer evolved,
the liquid is distilled to obtam the alcohol.
Pruggist's Circular,
Socrery or Encinrers.—A new society
nas been formed at New York, composed of
practical and scientific engineers, which
will hold stated meetings for discussion at
Cooper Institute. Iresident, J. A. Whitney, of the Artisan; Corresponding Sccretary, J. B. Lyman, of the World.
