There are imw six electric light

A movement is on foot in .San
Francisco Ui start a cotton mill in
that city. With good financial
backing and competent manage

be successful. California has room

Mej) who are hoping that fome
time and somehow in the great
future good will come to them out

and cultivate here, should remem

sow the seed, in those and in no
other will their harvest grow.
There was a curious sort of din
ner at London the other da3', dis
tinguished electrician- being the
guests. In the center of the table
-was a covered dish, alleged to eon
lain a ugy hinotus," fresh from a
river in South America. The
chairman, instead of saying grace,
spoke to the dish as if asking some
one there to ask the usual blessing.
Then a solemn, but distinct voice
was heard, apparently coining from
the dish repeating the favorite
.form. The cover was then raised
and there was a telephone, some
body at the other end having per
.formed the pious service.
Over a year ago Samuel J.
Bridge gave to the city of San
Francisco $2000, the interest of
jwhich he desired to have expended
for medals to be gven to the most
aaeritorious boys graduating from
the public schools. The superin
tendent of schools has therefore
announced that sixty silver medals
will be distributed in the manner
designated in May next, and all
good boys are consequently ex
pected to study themselves into
weak eyes, headaches and bad
health, while the bad boys will
continue their sinful ways with
tops and balls and sturdy health,
and no medals.
A dispatch from New York says
that it is stated on good authbrity
that as soon as the executive com
mittee of the International exhi
bition procure the necessary legis
lation at Washington to enable
them to go ahead, the In wood site
Trill be changed for the strip of
land known as Fort Washington,
near by, the advantages of which
will be, first, a commanding front
on the line of North river; and
second, consequent facilities for
adding to the attraction of the
fair, including a naval exhibition
'of the latest improvements in
naval architecture of the maritine
nations of the world.

Datitt on Bfljcotltng.
Michael Davitt, the well known
Irish agitator, who is regarded by
some as anxious te supercede Par
nell in the leadership of the land
league movement, has been mak
ing a noteworthy speech in Dub-
i:iil-filui. Jie maintameil that crime
had not increased in the Kmerald
I
le, and that reports of outrages
mil been manufactured bv inter-
iut
estcd parties. He aHiimed that
the land league never fostered nor
approved of outrage.-. Two mil
lions of people had attended the
various land meetings. If their
passions had been excited as their
opponents alleged, there would
lmve been x much heavier calendar
of crime. A large section of the
Irish people were face to face with
starvation, yet notwithstanding ail
these circumstances, there had
been, during the past two years
five homicides and a small number
of attacks on" individuals. Mr.
Davitt submitted a memorandum
of '-instructions to orgauizers and
officers of the branches of the
land league.' This memorandum
depreciated boycotting action by
the branches, and said that evi
dence was not wanting that num
bers of men had joined and were
joining the league who gave but a
half-hearted allegiance to its full
programme men who would go
in for a compromise, and give a
new lease of life to landlordism.
It was resolved that when the gov
ernment land bill is announced
a national convention should be
summuned to pronounce upon it.
Mr. Davitt urged that there must
be nocompromise with landlordism,
and repudiated the three F's now
advocated by many land agitators,
and proposed a a remedial mea
sure by the Gladstone government.
Emigration in Italy.
Fmigration as a national evil is
sorely troubling Italian statesmen.
Statistics prove to us that 1,10S,
000 emigrants left their overtaxed
country between 18GS and 1S7S,
having previously obtained certifi
cates from the government, where
as an unknown number annuailly
depart without letting the govern
ment know. And of all these it is
estimated that one-quarter go away
with the determination never to
return. The contadiui leave in
large uumbers. Of 20,000 emi
grants registered in 1S7S, 8,000
were contadina. The largest con
tingent is supplied by the prov
ince of Venice, the next by Genoa,
and the third by Lombard, ap
parently in exact ratio to their
former prosperity. Remedies are
suggested from time to time.
Statesmen talk of repopulating the
wastes of Sardinia, but Signor
Minutelli, in a lengthy speech the
frther day, hit on a happier plan.
Colonization, he said, under gov
ennent superintendence was the
only remedy against this falling to
pieces of the Italian nationality.
Moreover, he argued, the colon
ists need not go to America or the
Pacific isles: forty-eight hours of
sea voyage would deposit the emi
grants on the "Cyroniaca," so stud
ded with remains of Roman colon
ies. Furthermore, Xew Guinea,
the basin of the Xvassa and the
Zambesi territory were within
easier reach; and Livingstone and
Stanly, he concluded, both attest
to the fertility and salubrity of
these unknown regions.
Two grammarians wore wrang

Uwt it was only proper to say:
"My wages i hih,' while the
other noNly insiptcnl that the cor

In England tlte railway oompa

and in case of death, their families
are provided for. There is also a
weekly allowance made when one
of diem i sick, which it is propos
uJ to extend to fifty weeks.
The annual report of the pilot)
commissioners shows that there
were 1?S licensed pilots in active j
sen ice belonging to New York I
(besides fire temporarily suspend-1
ed) and twenty-oai pilot boats in i.
use. During the year there were j
on.'n ,1. ..:i..i : .1 rt

that port, on which were levied
jes to the enormous amount ot
WS,5U4 (,5- T,,'s &' :nS:U
as the earnings of each boat dur
ing the year, and $7-1 o7 a the
amount paid by each ves-l on
leaving and entering the port.
Commenting upon these figures
the New York Indicator -says:
There is evidently some consola
tion here for the mourners over
our decaying shipping interests.
We get something out of the
foreign -arrying trade anyway,
and for the mz of our "mercantile
marine," i. mu-t be conceded that
it ny woll at all events. We
wonder how many of the merchant
vessels that entered our port dur
ing 1SS0 can show a profit on the
year business of $30,000? The
question naturally arises, in view
of these figures, is it judicious to
do all we can to. drive foreigu com
merce from our port, because it
cannot be carried on American
ships?
