The Harbor of Refuse.
Certain California journals are
busr already with misrepresenta
tions concerning the selection of a
sitite for a harbor of refuge. The
Alta criticises the report of Col.
"Wilson, and to sustain its censure
misquotes his report. He exam
ined several points and made esti-
mates thereon. The Alta applies j
-what is said in remircl to a break-

ground. This is most unjust to-
wards Ool. Wilson, for the fact is
that be personally examined the
locality referred to, and on this
knowledge approved the work and
statements of the assistant engi
neer. The Jact is, says the Ore-
tronian, California wants the bar
bor constructed on her own coast,
where it would really be no
liarbor of refuge, since the gales j

KverY exertion should be made

by our representatives at Wash-

site where a harbor may Jie con

Bayard Taylor on tlio Chinese.
The late Bayard Taylor, in his
works on "India. China and Ja
pan," gives the impressions of the
Chinese from his own personal ob
servations and information while
in China, smys:
It is my deliberate opinion that the
'Chinese are, morally, tiie most debased
people on the face of the earth. Forms
-of vice, which in other countries are
'barely named, are in China so common
as to excite no comment among the
oiativcs. They constitute the surface
level, and below them are deeps and
deeps of depravity so shocking and
horrible that their character cannot
even be hinted. There are some dark
shadows in human nature which we
naturally shrink from penetrating,
and I made no attempt to collect in
formation of this kind, but there was
enough in the things which I could
not avoid seeing and hearing, which
are brought almost daily to the notice
of every foregn resident, to inspire me
with a powerful aversion to the Chi
nese race. Their touch is pollution,
mid, harsh as the opinion may seem,
to the unimformed, justice to our own
race demands that they should not be
allowed to settle on our fioil. Science
nury have lost something, but man
kind has gained by the exclusive policy
which has governed China for the past
century.
Mr. Taylor's opinion, it will be
seen, was that justice to our own
race demands that the Chinese
should not be allowed to setSe on
our soil. That opinion, formed by
an intelligent observer of the habits
.and practices of the Chinese in
their own country, outweighs all
the sentimental nish of those who,
most of them, never saw China
men, and know nothing about
them.
Tt is proposed in Texas to sell
enough wild lands to build a new
state house.
A bill to allow persons charg
ed with crime to testify in their
own behalf has been defeated in
the Texas legislature.
Tacks placed points upward
on the floor are said to interfere
-with the movements of materialized
Spirits -in Boston seances.
l?oy Signal Compass.
Captain William Hughes, of San
Francisco
ancisco, has invented a fog signal j
mpass, which appears to be excel- I
compass
lentlv idantcd for themirnose ilftsirnrl.
mi i .
The rales governing its use are so
simple that anyone can understand
them, the system being to a certain
extent, a modification to that used in
sounding fire alarms. Some system
by which vessels in foggy weather
could indicate their course, and thus
avoid collisions, has long been wanted
The invention of Captain Hughes
seems to provide exactly what is re
quired. In brief it is as follews:
On the outer circle of the compass
card are the usual marlcs and letters i
indicating the points of compass. Just j

of directors of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company have ordered to

"Kerosene Oil and Diphtheria.
A correspondent of the Pittsburg
(Pa.) Republican writes from West
Chazy: "Allow me to say a few words
of the greatest importance to the pub
licthrough your journal, in regard to
the terrible disease diphtheria, which
is raging with great destruction of
live3 throughout the county. It has
raged here to a fearful extent, qoite a
large number of cases proving fatal.
There is a family li ing here b' the
name of Light, a miller who moved
here from Rochester this season. Mrs.
Light said to some of tiie neighbors
that previous to her moving here she
had an attack of diphtheria, and cured
it by the use of kerosene oil as a g-ir-sle,
also swallowed seme: but the
remedy was so simple that our citi
zens didn't think anything of it until
live of Joseph Jell ey's were taken down
with the diphtheria. Their throats be
came swollen and cankered terribly.
Mrs. Jelley sent after her neighbor,
Sirs. Milliette, who had lately lost a
son by the disease, to ascertain wheth
er it wasTjally diphtheria or not. Mrs.
Milliette pronounced it diphtheria in
v..w.lTOvni f..rm. Mrs. Jellev
said she would use Sirs. Light's reine-
dv kerosme oil which she gave her
children as a gargle, also had them
awallntv fiimift. Tim rhilrirfin recover-
r . i
swallow some. The children recover
! ed rapidly, and in a few days were
out on the streets, several oiner
cures are mentioned.
iSSKThe best "poster" is that which
isent regularly into the family .circle.
