The Duty of a Newspaper.
Some very queer notions obtain
among the people as to the duty
which a newspaper owes to its read
ers, but the most prevalent one is
that it should leave out important
items of public interest at the request
of those who may be injured by their
publication. This is a very errone
ous idea. The object of a newspaper
is to give the news. Its very name
indicates that. Unless it does so, it
is not in any sense of the word a
newspaper, hut rather an anti-newspaper.
Sacramento lite.
An uuusually large audience were
present at Ross' opera house last
evening, to see the musical farce of
"Hot Water.' The characters are all
comical and were fairly sustained;
the dancing, what there was of it, was
good, Alice Harrison's disguises were
good, her driukiug song, from La
Perichole, was good and. the Indian
club swinging of Frank Girard was
good. The rest was about average.
The "Colonel's four fair daughters"
were conspicuous by their absence.
The Yum lum business was about as
loudly applauded as anything in the
farce. There is two hours of laugh
ter in it and the fun is of the frothy
kind. The company go to Portland
to-dav.
Up at Linkville the other day a 14-year-old

MEXICAN
COMPLAINTS OF
FORD'S SCOUTS.
CRAW-
Washington, Feb. 4. The officials
of Sonora, Mexico, have complained
of the conduct of the Indian scouts
who made up the force of Captain
Crawford, the officer recently killed
while in pursuit of hostile Apaches,
and it is probable that the feeling of
animosity entertained by tbe Mexi
cans toward the scouts will throw
some light on the encounter between
Captain Crawford's command and
the Mexican troops. It is alleged
that the scouts, when not directly
under the eye of their officer, com
mit outrages upon the Mexican
ranches, robbed their settlements,
wantonlv killed their cattle and in
several instances murdered travelers
and others whom they met. It is
also alleged that these scouts report
ed that the outrages committed by
them were the work of the hostiles
whom they were pursuing, although
all the evidence pointed to the spouts
as the guilty parties. The details of
several of these alleged outrages are
given, with the date3 and the extent
of the damage done. It is not charged
that these ontragos were known to
Captain Crawford and his officers,
but, on tho contrary, were committed
while tbe scouts were pretending to
be huuting the hostiles, and when
beyond tho supervision and control
of their officers. It is now thought
that in consequence of these outrages
by the scouts the attack by the Mexi
can troops was not accidental but de
liberate. The Constitution, the official organ
of tho sfate of Sonora, iu detailing
these outrages upon Mexican settle
ments, says: As loug as the scouts
keep directly under the eyes of their
officers they behave, to some extent,
but the moment they fiud themselves
out of sight, which is frequent by the
very nature of tho expedition, they
carry out the natural fieudishness of
their nature aud the hatred the
Apaches bear to the Mexicaus cropped
out. The Constitution calls upon
the general government to forbid the
introduction into Mexico of Indian
scouts as anxiliarie3 of Americau
troops iu the pursuit of Apaches or to
stop entirely thecrossiugof the boun
dary by the American forces.
Cause for Anxiety.
A specialist iu threat troubles was
called to treat a Boston lady who
manifested so much interest in his
surgical instruments that he ex
plained their uses to her. "This
laryngoscope," said he, ''is fitted with
small mirrors aud an electric light;
the interior of your throat will be
seen by me as clearly as the exterior;
you would be surprised to know how
far down we can see with an instru
ment of this kind." The operation
over, the lady appeared somewhat
agitated. "Poor girl," said her sister,
who was present; ''it must have been
very paiufnl." ''Oh, no, not that,"
whispered the Boston lady; "4bnt just
as he fixed the instrument in place I
remembered that I had a hole in my
stocking."

VILLARD'S FOLLY.
Villard's trustees have been
three "years past trying to sell
house which he was bnilding at
for
the
the
time of his failure, and it is now
probable that this will be accom
plished Villard was under the de
lusion that he was worth SIO.000,000,
and therefore thought he could follow
the architectural extravagancies of
the age. He built a palace in Mad
ison avenue New York for himself
at a cost of a half million, and also
two other houses, which, though less
expensive, cost enough to swell the
entire investment to a million.
Hardly had he got settled in his
palace when financial difficulties
began to beset him, and it was not
long before he sank in ruhi and was
obliged to leave the conntry. Tho
trustees in behalf of his wife have,
after long endeavor, found purchasers
for the two above-mentioned houses,
at a loss estimated at 50,000 each,
but even at this discount the price of
each is S165.000. The Villard palace
is also iu the market, and it probably
can be purchased for S100.000 less
thau cost Such a sale will leave
Mrs. Villard enough for an econom
ical support, aud she will with her
family await her husband's return
and resumption of business. Villard,
indeed, will never feel at home iu
Germany, aud his family prefers
New York. He might find a berth in
the compauy which he projected,
sufficient to give him a reputable
living, but his former wealth aud
splendor will never be renewed.
How much betterjit would have been
for tbe Villards had a part of this
immense building investment been
set apart as a reserve fund for the
family, especially as the latter is of a
very helpless character.

TAX KATES OF ALL THE STATES.
The following table is designed to show
tho rates of direct taxation for State as
distinguished from local purposes in the
various States of the Union. The first
column gives tho legal tax-rato based
upon tho assessed valuation of propertj.
As the second column, which is taken
from the last federal census, demon
strates, tho ratio of assessed valuo to
true value varies very much in the differ
ent States. For instance, in Illinois the
assessed valuation is but 2.1.4-t per cent of
the estimated true value of nil proporty
in the State. In Jthode Island it is 00.13
per cent. The third column shows the
ratio of the tax levied to the actual value
of all property in the respective States:
