Eilitor Stav:—Seeing several accounts in re_ gard to the “Hounds of San Francisco,” con- taining errors in point of time, &c., andas I was one of the ‘*Pioneers of "49," and have adis tinct recollection In regard to the suppression of this gang by the pioneers, I will give you a aifferent version of the story, from that now going the round of the press: I first heard of the existence of this formid- able body of men in Valj , Chili, from the batives who desired to go to California, but were afraid on account of the known enmity of the “Hounds” against the Spanish race. This was attributed to the fact that many of the Hounds were disbanded Mexican volunteers, and had carried their animosities into the body of which they were now members, which con- sisted mainly of convicts from Van Deimans Land, and other British colonies. We heard of them when within three days’ sailing of San Francisco; for on speaking an outw: ship. they informed us In very Ls pod te that they were just from Hades and were d- glad to get away. On our arrival in the harbor we were boarded by several men wearing the Hound's distinctive uniform, the round crowned chinese hat. Of them | engaged to take my luggage ashore. After I had made my agreement, I was informed that the man was one of the Hounds. Not caring to make an enemy of a member of So for- le an organization, I adhered to my con- ‘tract, and had no cause to complain. so that I cameo the conclusion that the devil is not always black. But I soon had cause to change Mv opinion, as I found that a more pestilent body of thieves and murderers never existed. ‘They wore a terror to the community, as the authorities were paralized to such an’ extent ng were privileged to doas they Pleased. Having a perfect organization under their captain and Meutenants, no man tn San Francisco had the nerve to stand up and de- nounce them. This state of affairs continued until Sunday, the 15th of July, 1849, when the “Hounds,” having on the Chinese hat as their distinctive headed by a band of music and United States flags. paraded under the command of ‘Samuel Roberts as ao and Wm. Saunders a8 first Heutenant, with other officers, all in full regimental uniform, and marched out to the Catholic Mission, some three miles from San Francisco, where they became drunk, and in their orgies msulted many of the Chiline and Mexican women in such a gross manner that @ young married Chillan, peng to mad- eas by an insult offered his wife, shot one of the gang by the name of Beatty, when the “Hounds,” per The Ho tore down their malt the i.

The number who cherish this idea within the evangelical denominations, Says Prof. Swing writing upon the subject, {3 | quite large and 1s becoming larger, and to these | must be added now a new sect, which ts making ita special mission to teach the doctrine that to all out of the faith in Christ, death will be + annibllation. The animus of this new and ac- tive dogma is once more not simply to save men from such a possibility as eternal buraings, but fo save the name of God from being degraded by the common idea of hell. Prof. Swing ad- mits that compared with the dogma that the heavenly Father will most awfully torment for- ever the countless millions called the wicked, Uus doctrine of a imited immortality is a rational and emotional reform. But, however great an improvement such a destiny may be over the fate painted by Edwards and by all the old theologicians, it does not seem to harmonize with scripture. Any wide survey of Bible teach- {ngs will disclose the fact that the wicked an the just both are to appear ia the final judg- ment and receive thetr reward. It would seem that the better harmony between the doctrine of hell anda just God can be secured by modity- ing the nature of the punishment of the wicked. Do away with the horrible cruelty and flendish revenge which make up the old notion of the fate of the wicked and non-believing, and per- Init eternity to explain to us what the punish- | ment of sinners wiil be, and much of the logical | difficulty will at once’ vanish. If it should be seid that a mild and gentle view of perdition i} wil not harmonize with the Bible, the reply 1s | ready, that to find this view we need only make | allowance for oriental figures of speech, but. in order to sustain the annihilation theory, it Seems necessary to oppose the most fanda- mental idea of the Blole—that the Just and un- Just must be awarded their merited future con- dition by a just God; and annihilation on earth will not meet this cardinal doctrine of thescrip- | tures.” — Readers of Tuk Star may be glad to learn some facts in regard to an enterprise which has recently excited much Interest In some of our cities—the misston to the workingmen of Paris. In August, isi!, Mr. M’All, pastor of a church in the littie English town of Hadleigh, visited Paris, accompanied by his wife, for afew daysot rest. Their sympathy with the common people | led them Into the artisan district, Belleville, where they contrived to meet the workingmen as they returned home at night, and to offer them tracts, which were often’ gladly accepted. Mr, M’All and-bis wife were so much Impressed by the needs of the people that shortly after they left their English home to settle in Paris, and with the new year they opened the first mission-room in Belleville. with an attendance of about 40. It was hard at first to convince the people that the mecuings were actually free, but as soon as the disinterested character of those who conducted them became known, their de- votion was warmly appreciated, and their sim- Ms religious instruction was sought and listened. to with such eagerness that the mission has grown steadily until there are now, in the most crowded faubourgs of Paris 23 of these*stations, where evening meetings for workingmen aré held two or three times every week. The plain- ly furnished rooms used for this purpose were formerly shops, where the partitions have been removed, so that they contatn, on an average, two or three hundred sittings. The rooms are in almost constant use, for, besides the evening meetings, there are afternoon classes for chil ren, Sunday schools and Bible classes. Some- times industrial schools for giris and Gg ee ment rooms for r women are added. Each Station ts supplied with a small lending library, where a large properaon: of the books are Bibles andtestaments.

Several ‘theories, more or less probable have been propounded’ to explain the prejudicial effects of the {mhalation of the va- pors; but, whatever be the correct explana- Uon, there Is no doubt of the danger of occu- pying a room recently painted, in which tur- pentine has been employed, before complete desication has taken place. it was pointed out by the Council of Hygiene that a sudden death which recently k place in Paris was at- tributable to this cause, it being shown that it could not be ascribed to the lead which entered into the composition of the paint of the room in which the deceased slept; the lead, being fixedand nonvolatile, cannot in these cases be accused of being the offending element.— British Medical Journal, How TO MakE A Pourtice.—Dr. Brunton, in Brain, the new London periodical, gives the following practical hints on this subject: The common practice in making poultices of mix- ing the linseed meal with hot water, and ap- plying it directly to the skin, is quite wrong, use If we do not wish to burn the patient Wwe must wait until a great portionof the heat has been lost. The proper method fs to take a flannel bag (the size of the poultice required), to fill this with the linseed poultice as hot as it can possibly be made, and to put between this and the skin a second plece of flannel, so there shall be at least two thicknesses of flannel be- tween the skin and the poultice itself. Above the poultice should be placed more flannel, or a plece of cotton-wool, to prevent it from get- ting cold. By this method we are able to apply the Iinseed meal boiling hot, without burning the patient, and the heat, gradually diffusing through the flannel, affords a grateful sense of relief which cannot be obtained by other means. There are few ways in which such marked rellef isgiven to abdominal pain as by the application of a poultice in this manner. Rest ror HEADACHES.—Dr. Day says in a late lecture, ‘Whatever be the plan of treatment decided upon, rest is the first principle to in- culcate every severe headache. Rest, which the busy man and anxious mother can: not obtain so long as they can manage to keep about, is one of the first remedies for every headache, and we should never cease to en- force it. The brain, when excited, as much needs quiet and repose as a fractured lim} or an inflamed eye; it is obvious that the chances of shortening the seizure and arresting the pain will depend on our power to have this carried out effectually. It epoca lesson tokeep steadily in view, in i there may lurk behind a simple headache some lesson of unknown magnitude which may remain sta- tionary if quietude can be maintained. There 1s a point worth attending to in the treatment of all headaches. See that the head ts elevated at night, and the pillow hard, for, if it be soft, the head sinks into it and becomes hot; whfch with some people is enough to provoke an at- nek in the morning if sleep has been long and eavy. SEASONING Foop.— Many people have the idea that a analy flavored dish must cost a §reat deal; that isa mistake; if you have un- Tainted meat, or sound vegetables, or even Indian meal, to begin with, you can make it delicious with proper seasoning. One reason why French cooking is much nicerthan any se is that 1t 1s seasoned with a great variety of herbs and spices; these cost very Uttle; it you would buy a few cents’ worth at a time you Would soon have a good assortment. The best kinas are sage, thyme, sweet marjoram, tarra- gon, mint, sweet basil, parsley, bay leaves, cloves, mace, celery seed and onions. It you will cane the seed of any of these seven first mentioned in little boxes on your window sill. or in asunny spot in the yard, you can gener- ally raise all you need. Gather and dry them as follows: Parsley and tarragon should bedried in June and July, just before flowering; mint in dune and July; thyme, marjoram and savory in July and August; basil and sage in August and September. All herbs should be gathered In the sunshine, and dried by artificial heat; their fla- best preserved by Kenny them tn atr- tight tin cans, or in tightiy-corked glass bottles. EXCELLENT GLYCERINE OINTMENT.—A very good preparation of glycerine to have always on hand can be readily prepared by any apothecary or druggist: In two ounces of sweet oll of al- monds melt, by a slow heat, half an ounce of spermaceti and one drachin of white wax. ‘Then add one ounce of good glycerine, stirring until cold. When cold, scent it by stirring in well a little ofl of roses. Keep in small jars or small wide-necked bottles. In hot “weather keep closely corked, a8 it sometimes gets a little rancid if long exposed to warmth. Half or a fourth of the. above quantities may be used. Every drug store should Reap 8 Jar of it and recommend Its use. It is excellent for softening the skin, for most injured skin surfaces that are not open sores, for chafed places, for molsten- ing corns or calloused feetor and especially for chapped face, lips or hands. When the hands are chappedor cracked, or roughened by cold, Wash them clean with soap and rub them well with this glycerine ointment, wiping it off enough to prevent sofling clothing. Ifthis be done at night, the hands will be sort and in good condition in the morning, except when deeply cracked. It is very good to apply to the hands after “washing day.” ‘This is an excellent preparation to use by those aillicted with the a ressing troubie known as hemmorrholds or plies, WARNING TO CRILDREN WHO “JUMP ROPE.” Dr. Peck of the surgical institute yesterday performed a surgical operation on the leg of a young girl by the name of Jordan, from Illi- Nols, sent here for treatment.

WASHING, IRONING, AND MENDING.—Whether to soak the clothes over night or not {s a much- disputed question with housewives. Where pure cistern water can be had, it is doubtless an advantage, but to soak ‘clothes in hard water sets the stains rather than removes them, and river water, unless filtered when drawn off in quantities, asa rule, contains so much mud that it is apt to streak the clothes soaked in it for any considerable time. Wringers are a blessed invention, on the whole. although hard on buttons. But flannels shoud not be passed through them, as they rub the Wool up into little hard naps. Clothes should, it-possible, be dried in the sun and in the open air, and “never yet did housewife notable greet with a smile a rainy washing day.” But when Monday is rainy, itis not always convenient to postpone the weekly wash. In that case, Sheets and any other large white pleces which are not to be starched may be eng ot in the rain, which will bleach rather than injure them. If ble, hi the smaller pleces in an unused room up stairs, when the rest. may usually be dis; of by ‘hanging at night on lnes stretched across the kitchen, where the heat of the fire will dry them before morning. Blankets ought never to be washed in rainy Weather. Select a bright summer day for the work, and let it be done and through with.

In such case they should be wiped with a cloth before the clothes are again hung on them. A shirt- board for ironing is a necessity in every well- iene family.

An Operatic Joke.

They cajoled their color merchant, liked nothing better than to spend a little tor amuse- ment on condition that be got his money's worth. So the following com tion was en- tered into: He was to take a stalie @ orchestra for fifteen francs, and the three friends were to oor it, each in turn for an act at a time. on the bill was “Il Barbiere,” and the clever allies Suggested politely that, as the merchant had for the seat, it was fair he should enjoy the lrstact. ‘This was accepted, but as the famous seat was On the extreme left, he failed to enjoy even the sight of her when she appeared upon the balcony. His vexation was much increased when, alter the opera, his friends went into e-- stacies over the beautiful, the Incomparable diva. ‘If what you say be true, I will see and hear all the same,” exclaimed the disappointed man. * Nothing easier,” replied his witty cus- tomers. “Day after to-morrow, La Patti is to sing ‘Lucia.’ Let us recommence our econom!- cal arrangement, but instead of the first act, keep the last for your share, and we will take the others.” And so it came to pass that the unhappy man pant fifteen francs a second time for a seat in which he had only to deplore the absence of his mucb-desired’ diva from the ‘scene, for, a8 his longing eyes searched vainly for her, she was quietly wending her way to- ward the hotel, where a good supper awaited her.

Bijah Wrestles With the Blocks, Detroit Free Pross.} Ever since the appearance of the plague Bijah has steadfastly refused to tamper with the four- teen, thirteen, fifteen blocks, but yesterday afternoon, after considerable bantering, Alder- man George Dorr succeeded in getting the old veteran at work on them. Leaving him busily pushing and puzzling over the cubes, the Alder- man Went over to the Stock Yards and passed the word among fifteen or twenty drovers. ‘Then followed such a stream of visitors at the | 20th street police station as has not been known | before since it was established. Each drover as he entered the station saluted Bijah cordially, and as though suddenly realizing the task he was at, would immediately turn about and run away i trom the station as rapidly as possible. After the fifteen or twenty men had made | thelr visits, some of them cailing twice and all calling singly, Bijah began to wonder at it, and with his puzzle in his hand, started for Dorr’s hotel. Arriving there the drovers were heard | tosay, “Poor man!” “I thought he would give out tinally;” “the government ought te pension him,” and the like, and as thougn afraid of the big-breasted old doorman, the drovers would shake their heads and walk away from him whenever he would approach them. Bijah put up with their behavior about five minutes, during which time he seemed to be —fol studying whether they were making sport of him or not. Finally he threw the puzzle out of the window, and with considerable vehemence cried out: ‘See here! if any of you fellows think I’m giving out or that I need a pension, Just come out here into the street and I'll show you that I’m as lively asa spring steer in a asture! is ‘The spell was broken, and Bijah vows to be revenged on Alderman Dorr tor the laugh he had at his expense. ‘The Only Case on Record. {Colorado Paper.] One of the mules in the Evans is going lame in three I AD yy hangs a brief but marvelous tale.
