Smith, William E. Davis and John O'Connor. Dispensary Board William T. Long, Edward Dunn, and Thomas Marken. The last named on each board is a Democrat.

An Invention to Open the Windows of Heaven and Make the Deserts Bloom. Ban Francisco Chronicle. The remarkable powers and adaptability of the electric current to the uses of society have been further demonstrated by an invention which has at least tbe charm of novelty. This is nothing more or less than a patent to open tbe windows of heaven at tbe will of man, ad a Michael Cahill, M. D., of this city, claims the honor of tbe invention. The Doctor returned to town a few days ago from Washington, where he went to secure a patent and bring before the notice of the gov-v ernment his strange contrivance. He was seen yesterday afternoon by a reporter, to whom he briefly explained the proposal. "I expect to see the sagebrush deserts of Ne braska and Nevada under cultivation, and af fording pasturage for thousands of cattle in a few years," began the doctor. "Should the government adopt my patent, by its use there need not be an acre of waste land on tbe whole continent." "By what extraordinary means do you intend to tap the clouds and interfere with the laws of nature?" queried the reporter. "Simply by a condenser, or captive balloon, ana an electric cable placed wnerer the ram is required. I have long believed tbat ram could be produced by artificial means, and I have worked at this hobby of mine for several years ever since I left college, in fact. You see, first of all, vapor as.it ascends, receives heat from the solar rays, which also impels it upward until restricted by tbe cold, tbe vesicles, or dewdrops, being crowded together, become electrified and noat on the air at an altitude of from 3.000 to 5,000 feet, and all tbat is required then to produce rain is to intercept those vesicles by artificial means. What I have invented is a condenser of peculiar shape and construction. and connected with the earth by an electric cable. Whenever the vesicles come into contact with the condenser or current, they are broken up. and the water forced to the ground with great rapidity. The rain will be produced by the same law as causes condensation on a win dow-pane. Tbe surface of tbe glass is covered with microscopic points, and on becoming chilled the layer of air next it falls, allowing the vapor to flow on to tha points, and thence to tbe ground." "You will require a gigantic balloon for such a purpose, was suggested. "O no. A condenser of about 200 feet in di ameter will bringdown something like 25,000,000 gallons a day, or as much as would irrigate almost the half of this State. The volume of water can be divided or formed into rivers, whichever mar be desired." "What will be the cost of erecting and fitting up one of these condensers "The condenser will be of specially-prepared iron, and I have received an estimate from a well-known manufacturer, who places the cost at $2,500: another $500 would easily fit it up." "What are the opinions of experts on the matter. Doctor r "Well, when I brought my plans before them at first they were mostly skeptical, but I have got a great many of them round since. While in Washington I submitted it to tbe Meteorolog ical Department, whore I am well known, and to tbe heads of the Geodetic Survey, and both believed it to be practicable; indeed, the former body sent an indorsement to the Secretary of the Interior to have its efficacy tested. I expect it will be some months yet, however, before they will do anything at Headquarter?, added the Doctor. Since his return the inventor has had several interviews with Lieut. J. E. Mansfield, the head of tbe local signal service. The Doctor is also in communication with a number of local capitalists with a view to the formation ot a company for tbe purchase of the patent right here and abroad, and it is needless to add that he is as enthusiastic as a land-boomer over its ultimate acceptance and success. THREE BUSINESS PKOl'OSALS. Some Queer Stories of the Ways of European Jews Jewish Messencer. Guttman Brothers of Vienna possess extensive coal mines in Galieia. Near these coal mines is a town almost exclusively inhabited by Jews, who always enjoy great favors in procuring coal from the mines. Three years ago the representatives ot the town struck upon a plan to get the coal still cheaper. Thev sent a com mittee to Vienna to negotiate with the firm. One of the brothers received them very f riendlilv. I l hey stated that they would neea ,uuo tons next winter, and as most of the Jews are poor. expected them at a low price. Mr. Guttman stated that the regular price would be 10 gulden per ton, but they should have them tor o goulden. .Now. the committee had another projosition to make. Mr. Guttman should give them the first thousand tons tor nothing, and thev were will ing to pay the full price for the next thousand tons, which would then amount to the same sum. Mr. Guttman smilingly agreed to this proposal, although he was fully aware that the second thousand tons would not be wanted by tne community. Among the poorer classes of the Polish Jews it is customary, when they have erown-un daughters, to apply to their wealthier co-re-ligionists for contributions to the dowry, and generally they collect respectable sums tor the purpose. One lost his daughter by death when sue was lb years of age. Nevertheless, two years after, he undertook a regular pilgrimage ior raising a dowry. He came to a rich Jew. who happened to know that the daughter had been dead for the last two years, and abused him for his false pretenses. The beggar replied. unabashed: "Are you the heir of mv daughter? Am I not rather?'' If the daughter had remained alive the rich man would have contributed some money for the dowry; why should he save it and profit by her death? A commercial agent ot Breslau named Chaim improved the dull time in business by assising traveling Polish "shnorrers" to find" charitable wealthier co-religionists, and received for his assistance a suitable commission. Once he brought such an individual to Banker M., who refused, however, to give the man any donation. Shortly after the shnorrer had left. Chaim appeared and very modestly asked for nis commission, "commission for what! ' asked the banker. "Did I not bring you that man whom you chased out?" "And for that you ask commission; do you call that also a business?" excuse me, sir; if you had given the man anv donation, he would have made a business and I would have received commission from him. Now, you have retained your monev. hence. you made the business, and I hope "you will grant me a little commission!" A Night la a Tree. San Bernardino Courier. C H. Wilkins and Edward Somera liva in th White Camp. Sao Antonio canyon. Returning to their houses about the time of the midnight that was the dividing line between the 13th and 20th of the present month, they were very disagreeaoiy surprised to see, by the lieht of their lanterns, a mountain lion in the act of croine un der the building. Having no arms with them, and knowing that the floor of their domicile was a flimsy affair, and could easily be torn to pieces by tbe dangerous animal, they considered a tree near by their only refuge, and upon such consideration they climbed the tree with the dexterity which frequently accompanies danger. Comfort ably ensconced among the boughs, they spent the night, waiting for the daylight. It came, but it placed the occupants of the tree in even a more dangerous predicament than before. Tbe lion still possessed tbe premises, and to descend would place those who might iniudiciouslv at tempt a descent in danger of being eaten bodilv. At about noon Colonel Hopkins, Dave Wixom. H4 - r-y j it:., in . - a - . . Mia. v nil wire auu iuiss iita itoounco appeared on the scene in a carriage. When informed by the dwellers among tbe branches of the state of affairs, Mr. Wixom killed tbe iion with a ball from a rifle, and announced that tbe gentlemen might descend in safety. Ed Hucb is now tanning the hide of the animal, which will be presented to a gentleman well known in this city. Why She Detained Illm. Boston Transcript. Brother Claude Waiting to see Ethel?

A PRODIGY IX FIGURES.

A Boy of Seventeen Who Can Beak AU the Lightning Calculators. Kew Xork Times. Of "lightning calculators" there is always a fair supply. These may be prod used artificially. There are certain short-eat methods of calculation which anyone with a good memory and a quick perception may acquire, and with a little facility in the use of these abbreviated methods a common order of intellect may perform feats which easily dazzle those wbo have paid no particular attention to subjects of tbat sort. But in Evening School No. 58, in Fifty-second street, near Eighth avenue, is a mathematical genius who is not a product of art. William Ulyses Scott lives with his father at 743 Sixth avenue. He was born in Hoboken, N. J., seventeen years ago. It was at Publio School, No. 8, in Jersey City, that the boy's peculiar gift was first noticed. In 18S3 the family came to New York. . In September he presented himself at Grammar School No. 69. in Fifty-fourth street, which is presided over by Matthew G. Elgas. He was admitted into the class next the (highest. Nothing unusual was noticed about the boy for some time. He is very quiet and modest, and would be the last to herald his talent The class-teacher noticed that when the 'boys were "doing" arithmetic Scott always had nis answers first, but never could show any work or tell how he got the result. He was suspected of eopying from bis neighbors; but, watch as he might, the teacher could not detect the cheat, if it was a cheat. Whenever the work and explanation were required Scott could count on having a "failure" against him on the record. The stereotyped colloquy was something after this fashion: Teacher Scott, how did you get that? Scott I dunno. At last, being completely baffled, the teacher conferred with the principal, Here was a case he conld not make out a boy who always bad the answer first, who never had any work to show, and who never could tell how he "did it" Mr. Elgas determined to know the truth, to solve the mystery, and to punish tbe knavery, if any should appear. How he proceeded is best told in his own words: Q"Itwasan examination. I put Scott on the front seat, far removed from any other boy who might be inclined to 'lend a hand.' I gave out a problem a pretty difficult one, I thought and then, while talking to tbe teacher, kept Scott constantly in the corner of my eye. In a very short time Scott bad laid his pencil down and stopped work. I thought to myself, 'I've got you now, my boy; no chance to cheat this time.' With an air of triumph I said 'Scott?' He read the answer, and it was right " 'Let me see tbat slate,' I said. "He passed it There were a few scattered figures with no apparent relation, and that was all. Said I: ' 'Scott, how did you get that!' " 'I dunno.' "Then I knew that I was dealing with an extraordinary youth, and that he had suffered great injustice." Scottis in the highest arithmetic class in the evening school. Itis a "senior school," no one under sixteen being admitted, and the young men of his class master the entire subject of arithmetic as found in ordinary text books. Scott knows it all as well as he knows his letters, but he persists in remaining in tbe elass because he loves the work. He calls it "brushing up." A week or so ago the writer visited his class. There were half a dozen problems on tbe black board problems in interest, discount, cube root, etc. All were busy but Scott I exam ined bis slate. All the answers were there, but nothing to show where he got his answers from. I said: 'Scott, how did you do thisP Scott replied: "I dunno." At the leanest of Mr. Elgas, the principal. Scott consented to give a little exhibition of his powers after school, before all the teachers in the building. W hen tbe last class was dismissed tbe party assembled, and Mr. Elgas gave out this problem: 1. Find the interest of $510 for 15 days at 7 per cent Without tbe slightest hesitation. Scott wrote this: "1.575," which is the correct answer to mills. Great was tbe astonishment of tbe peda gogues. 2. Extract the sqnare root of 1,841.164. Scott wrote as follows. 1,844,164(1.358. It did not taKe him longer than it takes to read the figures. 3. Extract the sqnare root of fifteen thousand, six hundred and twenty-five miliionths. Scott instantly wrote: V.015625 .125 4. Cube 123. Scott used the following figures: 1,845,000 15,867 1,860,867 answer. ' He began at the left and wrote toward tbe right in each case. 5. Extract the cube root of 41,063,625. Scott wrote: 3V4 1,063, 625 345 In no case did it take as long to solve the problem as it does to relate it 6. Multiply 3,689 by 2,475. Scott wrote again, without hesitation. 3683 2175 922: 9'. 5 225 9130275 This result was challenged by one of the spec tators, who had obtained a different result by the long-hand process; but Scott, examining his figures a moment, insisted on their accuracy. W hen the teacher examined bis work be found Scott was right 7. Problem: 2401 Solution by Scott: 5.764,801 8. Problem Find the cube root of 130,323,843. Instantaneous answer 507. 9.

Scott says he "dunno" himself. It may be questioned, however, whether, after all, he 'dunno" a little more about it than he is willing to state. This much is certain: he does not use, nor has he ever been taught to use, the ordinary contractions in calculation. He seems to know the binomial theorem by intuition; he sees re suits as soon as he looks at a problem. I his implies a sort of mathematical imagination by wbich he is able to hold before bis mind's eyes long and intricate combinations of numbers. Tne answer seems to stand Jorth to his mind as harmony falls upon the ear a unity, though produced by a combination of sounds. It is clearly a talent, not an accomplishment. Plato discusses the question whether "virtue" can be taught and arrives at a negative conclusion. Certainly Scott cannot impart his secret to an other, any more than Blind Tom can tell how he plays tbe piano. About Headaches. Familr Doctor, in Cassell's Family Magazine. Probably one of the most common headaches. if not the most common, is that called nervous. The class of people who are most subject to it are certainly not your outdoor workers. If ever my old friend, tbe gardener, had had a headache, it would not have been ono of this description. Nor does Darby, tbe ploughman, nor Jarvey, the 'busman, nor Greatfoot, tbe ganger, suffer from nervous headache, nor anyone else who leads an outdoor life, or who takes plenty of exercise in the open air. But poor Mattie, who slaves away her days in the stuffy draper's shop, and Jaennie in her lonesome attic, bend ing over ber white Beam stitch, stitch, stitch till far into the night and thousands of others of the indoor working class, are martyrs to this form of headache. Are they alone in their misery? No; for my Lady Bonbomme, who comes to have ber ball dress fitted on, has often a fellow feeling with Jaennie and Mattie. She, however, we cannot afford to pity quite so much, beeause she has the power to change her modus Vivendi whenever she chooses. What are the symptoms of this complaint that makes your bead ache so? You will almost know it is coming from a dull, perhaps sleepy feeling. You have no heart and little hope, and you are restless at night Still more restless, thougn, when it comes on in lull force, and then for' nicbts, perhaps, however much you may wish to, you can scarcely sleep at all. "How my poor head does ache!" This you rill say often enough; sadly to yourself and hopelessly to those near you, from whom you expect sympathy, and get none. And yet the pain is bad to bear, although it is generally con fined to only one part of the bead. The worst of this form of headache lies in the fact that it is periodic. Well, as it arises from unnatural habits of life or peculiarities of constitution, this periodicity la no more than we might expect If I just note down some of the most ordinary causes of nervous headache, people wbo suffer therefrom wm know what to do and what to avoid. I will tben speak ef the treatment Overwork indoors. Overstudv. Woi-k or study indoors, carried on in an un

natural or cramped position of body. Literary men and women ought to do most of their work at a standing desk, lying down now and then on a sofa to ease brain and heart, and permit ideas to flow. They should work out of doom in fine weather with their feet resting on a board, not on tbe earth and under canvas in wet weather. It is surprising the good this simple advice, if followed, can effect r Neglect of the ordinary rules that conduce to health. Want of fresh air in bedrooms. Want of abundant skin exciting exercise. Neglect of tbe bath. Over indulgence in food, especially ef a stimulating character. . Weakness or debility of body, however produced. This can only be remedied by proper nutriment Nervousness, however induced. The excitement inseparable from a fashionable life. - Exciting passion, anger and jealonsy in par tieular.

VERY TOUCOIBiQ. A Chicago Congressman's Simplicity and Its Effect on Secretary Manning. Chicago Mail. The death of Daniel Manning and the return from his labors of the somewhat emphatic and presistent Mr. Lawler, a Chicago Congressman, reminds me of an incident in which both stand out to advantage. When Mr. Manning was Secretary of the Treasury, and during his first serious sickness, the Chicago Congressman became very solicitous about tht S ecretary's health, and for awhile he sent to Mr. Manning a basket of flowers every day. Mr. Manning sent for Lawler, and said: "Lawler, I have been touched by your kindness. I have heard of you before, and I think once when you called I may have treated you a little rudely, I want to apologize for that, because I have been touched by this attention. Now you have never asked for anything, and I know you are a poor man. and now I want to know what b&sproinpted thisl" The Chicago member replied tnat he knew the sick man was fond of flowers, and that Mrs. Manning liked them, and he simply sent them over to cheer the sick. "I have been there myself," said the Congressman in his peculiar manner. Mr. Manning sent for Mrs. Manning and made her acquainted with Lawler. Mrs. Manning said their dinner hour was at hand and asked the Congressman to remain. "No," said Lawler , "I can't do it; much obliged to you both of you, but I promised Mary I'd be home to dinner with her, and I have never broken my word to my wife since we've been married. Mary does her own work, and I wouldn't disappoint ber." The simplicity of the man's candor caused a pretty scena. The gentleman who saw it and who tells me this story says: "I never saw anything on the stage as pretty as that The little Congressman was standing in the presence ot the leader of Washington society, tor Mrs, Manning was. at that time, peerless, and she was always stately, and. at the same time, yield ing when the occassion called for it Mr. Mann ing was fresh from his victories. He had surprised the country by his quick preception of the business interets of the people. As the little congressman had spoken, there came a silence. Mrs. Manning bowed low to him just as a queenly woman will when she is surprised py a great truth. 'Xhen she offered her hand, and the invalid m his chair, touched at the remark, placed his hand over his eyes for a moment, and then called Lawler over and said: 'God bless you and Mary.' " I am aware that there is a limit to this sort of a story, and a point at which curiosity should stop. . But there is one other little thing connected with the incident which, though it intrudes upon the domesticity or nis iamuy, is pretty enough to be made public Mrs. Manning went to the door with Lawler as he passed out and asked him to call with his wife. The Congressman informed Mrs. Manning that Mary was not a society woman as that is understood in Wash mgton, and that they preferred to remain at home, where they could dress plainly." However, one night there was a genuine, old-fashion ed night of it at the Manning mansion, in which the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chicago Congressman told stories and smoked in the library, while Mrs. Manning, with her tatting, en tertained Mary Iawler in a delightful way, devoid of frills, in the back parlor. There are not many such evenings in Washington, but Dan Manning loved just that sort of an evening, and his wite knew how to help him out with it. DISPLAYS OF DIAMONDS. The Marvelous Xumbrr of Gems Shown to Bayers This Year. New York Special to Boston Herald. "I have lived in New York nearly all my life," said a diamond dealer, "and 1 have never before seen so many gems at one time as there are to be seen in tbe store windows here this winter. The success of the experts of Europe in imitating the genuine stones has, to a great extent, rendered even the finest quality of diamonds unpopular. They can be bought there now fully one-third cheaper than they could ten years ago. In tbe meantime the love for them in this country has grown greater year by year, and, as our wealthy class is continually getting larger, the demand for diamonds is steadily on tbe increase. Our dealers find it profitable business to bring them over from Europe. You would be surprised, too, if yon knew the thousands and thousands of dollars' worth of these gems that are smuggled over here. There are men,, and women, too, for that matter, whose business it is to smuggle diamonds into tbe United States, and they realize an enormous profit by their nefarious trade." .. We were walking leisurely up town and stopped to gaze into the window of each jewelry store. When we got as far as Twentyfirst street the display bad grown to be really marvelous. There were diamonds whose sizes ranged from the smallness of the head of a pin to thirty-seven carat weight, and in color were from the deepest orange to the most brilliant steel blue. There was a necklace valued at $50,000, and brooches at $10,000. One pair of solitaire stones were noted, which were set for ear pendants. They were pure white, and weighed 34 carats each. A 'diamond crown, which consisted of several stars, composed of tbe purest stones, and which was labeled as having once belonged to the Empress Eugenie, was conspicuously displayed in a window and attracted a great deal of attention. " It was surrounded by hundreds of other precious stones, and the value of the display in that window alone was estimated at more than $200,000. The eye of tbe clerk inside tbe store was constantly on the window, while a detective, it is said, is kept always on duty on the outside. The employment of detectives to guard the outside of windows at this season of the year, when the finest display is made by the diamond dealers, and when the streets are filled with strangers and many thieves, is very common. This precaution is always taken, since a few years ago a window was smashed in and diamonds of great value were stolen. " Metropolitan Echoes. New York Mail and Express. "Not going to have your portrait exhibited!" said Mrs. Dash to Mrs. Splash, "why, what in the name of peace did you have it painted for?'' It is hard for people who want to be both generous and just, politic and impartial, too, to decide vhich of the two wonderful debut balls was the finest There will be a grab-bag excitement included in the Christmas festivity at Tuxedo, and there is reason to expect a large number of fashionable grabbers will be on hand. A clergyman comments on the fact that ladies in mourning go to balls and parties. ' Evidently he is not familiar with the inward duration of a real, genuine fashionable sorrow! MVs. Astor's taking away casts a gloom over the circle of which she has long been the center, and elicits expressions eery side that show how much her exemplary life was appreciated. There is not to be any making or receiving of calls on New Year's day. Descendants of Knickerbockers say the custom may come up again after we have all departed this fashionable life. Sad to relate, the purloiners of portable and easily concealed bric-a-brac are abroad in May-fair-again, and hostesses are wondering if it is coming to a point of locks, keys and safe deposit company. There are all kinds of sons-in-law, but the most like a graven image is the one who has bought largely in London on account of American relatives who had repudiated , him socially and financially. Fifteen thousand dollars for a debut ball would seem to touch highwater mark, and makes parents in Vanity Fair shudder when they look at their "sweet sixteens" almost ready to be brought outOne or two weddings, strange as it may sound, have been solemnized the last few days without any preparatory announcement or subsequent description in penny papers. The happy couples are really to be envied. It was the unsophisticated widow who, when arranging with the undertaker for her late husband's funeral, asked if it would be more fashionable to have the services at the church in the day time or at home in the evening. Society has plenty to talk about now. Indeed, there has not been so much or such varied material for gossip and small talk for years, and the grand tournament of tongues now going on is making a roar not unlike a social Niagara.

THE EDMUSDS ACT IN UTAH. What Ex-Governor Murray Thinks of tha Effect of It Eao Francisco Chronicle. "What do you think of tha workings of tha Edmunds act?" "Well, it seems to tne that it is like trying to enre a man who has been wonnded in the vital parts of the body, including his left leg, by treating bis left leg and leaving the important wonnds alone, or treating a consumptive patient by pntting a poultice on bis big toe. Polygamy, of course, is an infamous crime; but acts directly against it alone put Congress in the position of the man who wants to cnt off a dogs tail and does it by cutting a little one day and clipping ff a little more the next day until the thing is done, where he might have done a great deal better all at once. In my opinion there is but one practical solution of this question: The cure of this awful crime is to take tbe Territorial government out of the bands of the Mormon Legislature, which is controlled by the bead of tha Mormon Cbnreh, and place that government in the hands of Congresj and the Presidentof the United States. Utah it really governed at present by tbe Mormon hierarchy. Everything is in tbe bands of the Mormons, and they control the Legislature and everything else. And this is why I say tbat Congress is not dealing justly with tbe Americans, wbo are the only citizens of Utah loyal to tbe government of the United States." "Do you not believe that polygamy can be eradicated?" "No: not by present methods. Every one of consequence in Mormonism marries two or three wives, and they continue to do so."
