The "Nevada tionl-Hurst. The Eureka (Ncv.) cotrc-'pon'tciit of the 8an Francisco Call . Jives tbc fol low ing account of the recent ruin deluge in thut city, by which twenty lives were lost and n large amount of property wm destroyed: It had been raining with unprecedented violence nt times e'not early in the morn ire, and about mid-day a cloud burst unon the lofty range of mountains which lxrdcr the canon in which the town U situated to the cast, and the water cf.me through in large streams. None but trifling damage ws done, however, and soon the excitement ceased; but fCarcely bud people returned to their homes and the scenes of their business when a del uging rain set in, such as is seldom seen in any country. Each street and gully way was, within ten minutes from the beginning, converted into a miniature river, and the eastern portion of the town, which is much lower than any other, and through which i the ntsrai channel for a good-sized em-k of water, w as immediately Hooded. The fall of w ater being considerable, it tore through with fearful rapidity, but still the inhab itants thought themselves safe in their bouses, anil presumed at each successive stage that the flood had reached its high est and that a subsidence would follow. They reckoned amiss; for suddenly there came thundering down the canons from two directions a perfect ocean, which carried everything floatable before it. So irreat was its speed and volume that it fairly tore up the ground and mingled the cust of the tarth with the spray of the foaming waters. Those who remained in their premises were now hemmed in beyond the possibility of escape, and the wTne was one of the most heart-rending character. Those living or who chanced to be on the more raised portions of the town came heroically forward en minute and rendered all the assistance that hu man aid could render. Every moment bouses were moved from their founda tions and came down the torrent. To iuit those which yet remained for the purpose of hazarding one's escape vas to commit one's self to tile foaming -stream and be carried down among frag ments ofhouscs, utensils, timbers in fact everything that came in the wy o the Hood, and which went 'uliioling tor ward to destruction ilopcs were pro cured and placed in the bauds of brave men, w ho entured forth as far as possi ble, each depending on the other as they lonp,'il in line, extending into the Hood. (looil work was done by those who were rescued by this means, but before the men had time to procure such means, or even to thinkof it, many were silso carried down and lost. As the ilchris floated by, now and then could be seen a human form mixed with the mass. Nunc were still living and struggling for assistance, but they were beyond the reach of those w ho looked pityingly on to save. The women and children, thank Heaven! were, with lew exceptions, all saved. It was in the net of saving them Ihatmen in many instances lost their lives. Two women are reported drowned. The hotly of one of them. Mrs. Charles Uroy, has just been brought to 1 lie Court 1 louse. She recently came from the East, and married iMr. Uroy but a few weeks since. They were both .swept away with their house, and were seen to float by, clasped to each other, :tnd battling the fearful torrent with the despair of drowning persons. They were separated, and he escaped and is now re ported uite out of his mind at the loss of his wife. Another very sad case was that of Ilodger l'obinett, a brilliant youngman, a reporter for the djiil, who was carried down with the printing of lice. At least thirty houses have been swept away, demolished, or otherwise totally destroyed. The oilice of the Daily Cml was, with its contents, entirely swept away. The flood lasted but half an hour, but did its work well in that time. Had it occurred in the night instead of the time it dil, the dead must have been num bered by the hundreds. The scene is now one of desolation, despair and bitter mourning. Many persons have lost their w hole property. Hovr Democracy Has Increased the Debt of the Southern States. It is a favorite mode of argument w ith Democratic journals to refer to South Carolina and Louisiana as horrible exam ples of Republican rule, and, at the same lime, to point to Virginia, Tennessee and ieorgia as specimen bricks of Democ racy. But what is the financial history of these States as developed in the in crease of their public debts from lstjO to lSTO? The debt of South Carolina was $'i,K.J,74;$ in 1SG0, and it was increased to $7,H"".!M.M) in 170. The debt of Vir ginia in lSCO was :j-:j:,0O"",l 1! : in If 70 it bad been increased to $,6 12,000.

It did more. That ruinous Democratic rule cost the people of this State at the rate of 5.17 for every minute of its miserable exist ence! And yet, with the facts easily' within reach. Democratic leaders iii Jladison snd Jackson Counties have the hardihood to prate of the increase in the debt of Alabama as absolutely ruinous, and all the result of Republican rule! Evidently they do imagine that no im Iosture is too monstrous for the popular credulity! Alabama state Jourmtl. Hasty Judgment. A religious paper that we have learned to esteem for its sincerity and outspoken independence on public questions takes the Republican party severely to task because of "the official corruption that has been unearthed by Congress during the past few years." It refers particu larly to the Crcdit-Mobilier exposure, the Sanborn revenue frauds and the Dis trict of Columbia official rascalities. Our food brother, instead of blaming the 'epublican party for the crimes and " irregularities" thus exposed, w ould, by looking a little deeper into the matter, find in these exposures occasion for special commendation. The Republican party, which has ac complished so much for the nation and the cause of political and reformatory nmirroiS in ottlpr rPSIR'llS Mint " been a power in the land, is the first o:T,i tirtiitial organization in mis country that has had the courage or the disposition to "investigate" in public and publicly to arraign, expose and pun ish unfaithful public servants represent ing or bclon.?iDg to it, or for tvhoni it may justlf be held responsible.

The Indianapolis Joirral quotes figures showing that the local taxes of Demo cratic counties in Indiana have been in vnriably higher than those of counties controlled by the Republicans in 1808, 1R70, 1872 and 1873. And it adds! "In all these years, and always, eo far as at tainable facts enable us to judge, Demo cratic local taxes have been from twenty one to thirty-one cents on the 100 high er than Republican. Is not the fact w orth a little reflection? It is a fact, and we defy any Democrat to disprove it or impeach our figures. Every citizen of a Democratic county has to pay an average in the whole State of twenty-one cents more taxes than the citizens of a Repub lican county. Of forty-eight Democratic counties, twenty-four are taxed over one dollar on 100, or more than 1 per cent, of all they are worth, every year, while but eleven Republican counties of forty four pay over one dollar. One-half of all the Democratic counties pay this grinding imposition, while but one-fourth of the Republican counties pay it. Of the Republican, thirty-three pay one uol lar or less down to a figure as low as forty-one cents the rate in this county and t lie lowest in the State while but twenty-four Democratic pay one dollar or less. Remember that these local taxes are the chief burden of the people four times as big as the State tax and that Democratic management has for years kept them 25 per cent., or one-fourth, high er than those assessed by Republicans, and think about it once in awhile till the election comes." Short-sightedness. Du. LiEnuKtcir, whose ingenious state ments in regard to the confusion of colors in Turner's later, paintings excited so much attention, has just put forth some much needed warnings on the subject of short-sightedness in school children. This skillful ophthalmic surgeon finds that myopia, or short-sightedness, is far more common among British children at school than it was formerly. It is almost invariably developed during school life; very rarely before or after that period. The question, of course, at once arises: "Does this defect arise naturally at that period of the child's life, or does the school life cause the defect?" Statistical investigation proves the latter to be the case, and that the percentage of short sighted children is greater in school where the arrangements are unfavorable to the eyes. Shortness f sight is, it is true, often hereditary, but it is not believed that children are bora short-sighted. They begin life with a predisposition to this defect, and, if unfavorable condi tions exist in childhood, they readily fall into it. We believe, too, it is exceedingly rare to meet w ilh a short-sighted Indian, whether old or young. There seems, in deed, an advantage in short-sightedness with advancing years, but it is only under a slight degree of it. Any extreme con dition of myopia at once weakens the eyes and the general power of vision, w hether the person be old or young. The ordinary far-sightedness w Inch appears about the age of forty-five is a purely healthy and normal peculiarity, and indi cates no weakness of the eye. Short-sightedness in a high degree, on the other hand, is caused by changes in the anatomical condition of the eyes, and is highly threatening. It also induces a habit Dt stooping, "which atlects the whole structure and health of the child. Dr. Liehreich finds the cause of this increas ing defect in the sight of English chil dren, as well as the growing weakness of eyes of school children, in the bad ar rangements for lightingschool-roomsand in the defective position of the desks or seats. Short-sightedness, as is well know n, is produced by the lengtheningof the antero-posterior axis of the eye. This lengthening originates under the adapt ing machinery of the eye, according to the increased or diminished tension we apply, as the object is near or remote. In childhood the adapting apparatus pos sesses a great power of accommodation. "If this power is made use of for adapting the eye continuously to a much shorter distance than would be required that is to say, if, in reading or writing, the eyes, instead of at twelve to fifteen inches are kept at four to six inches from the bock, the sclerotic, that is the mem brane w hich keeps the globe of the eye in its shape, giving way by degrees to the pressure, gradually extends to its poste rior portion. Thus the shape of the e3 e becomes oval, and the retina is somewhat removed from the cornea and the lens. The retina then only receives the images of near objects; distant objects appear undefined and can only be seen by the aid of concave glasses whose negative focus corresponds with the degree of short-sightedness." Or, " If the muscles of the eye are not strong enough to resist such tension for any length of time, one of the eyes is left to itself, and while one eye is being di rected on the object the other deviates outwardly, receives false images, and its vision becomes indistinct amblyopic. Or perhaps the muscles resist these diffi culties for a time,, become weary, and thus is produced the diminution of en durance." How can these evils be prevented? The simple rules of this ophthalmic au thority are that the light must be suffi ciently strong and fall on the table from ths left-hand side and as far as possible from above. The children ought to sit straight and not have the book nearer to the eye than ten inches at the least ; the book should be raised twenty degrees for writing and about forty degrees for read ing. These rules the doctor believes to be violated in almost every public school in England. We do not think this could be said of our public schools. The Amer ican rooms, being generally rectangular, arc usually litrhted from the sHcs, a"d nt night arc illuminated by jets or re flectors from above. Rut now and then we have here what is such a fruitful Source of myopia in England- tlie light shining ricrht the faces of the children, dazzling their eyes, and causing them to turn the axis of the eye In unfavorable directions, and thus inducing ivcahness of vision. It Is undoubtedly ah advantage in American school-houses that we .have not been obliged to take od. arid plct"j esqite br.H.dinos wlMcli had narrow and pyjr windows, but can build at once what is most suitable for the children. A rectilinear structure, w ith largo, b'ph windows on the, side", !s, without doubt, 'lioJrt nl aiCiiitecturalry picturesque, ttic best for a school-house. Where our school-rooms are most e'efeetive is in night-lighting. Our gas is so poor that even when best placed the jets Give a wretched light If, In addition, the light be diffused by ground-glass globes placed high up1 "the illumination on the scholar's desk Is exceedingly faint. The bbit plan, is to have rellectors above, throwing a strong light downward. The light in our public reading-rooms (such as that of the Mercantile Library) is miserable, and in many private houses is a frightful source of shortness rf eight Ih children .A'". Y. Time. Colds. The secret to avoid the unpleasant consequences thought to spring w holly from the action, of cold upon the body has very little dependence upon expos ure, but a great deal upon an impure and weak condition of all the vital proc esses. In other words, with an average or superior constitution, and an intelli gent observance of all the laws of health, men and women could not take cold if they wanted to; they might be exposed to the action of cold to a degree equal to the beast ef the field, and w ith like Impunity. But in the case of persons with feeble constitutions, and who disre gard, knowingly or otherwise and most frequently otherwise the conditions of healthy existence, no degree of care will prevent the taking of cold, as It Is termed. They may live In houses regulated with all the precision of a hot-house lliey may cover themselves with the most highly protective clothing the market provides, and yet they will take cold. The consumptive person does not live, nor ever will live, even if kept in a tem perature absolutely uniform, and clothed in a wholly faultless manner, in whom the well-krowii signs of one cold after another will not be apparent. But, on the other band, there are those who, like the late Sir Henry Holland, of good constitutions and living in accordance with the laws of health, may travel as he did from the tropics to the arctics again ahd again, clad only in an ordinary dress coat, and yet scarcely know what it is to have a cold or sickness of any kind. The truth is that in order to avoid taking cold from ordinary or even ex traordinary exposure the vital processes of the body must be made strong enough to rise above the untoward influence of external conditions. If the body is not thus superior, if it is so weak that it can only act harmoniously under the most favorable conditions, a continued state of health is not among the possibilities. No more will a weak body maintain itself without harm amid great external disturbance than will the weak machin ery of a steam vessel maintain itself without injury amid a severe storm. The avoidance of elemental disturbances is not possible in the one case any moic than in the other, yet it is precisely what persons by the 10,000 are to-day seeking to accomplish in the preserva tion of their health. The study is not how to make blood purer, their bodies stronger, but how to dodge the ugly weather. The conclusion from all this is that neglecting the conditions upon which strength of constitution and purity of blood depend, and then striving to avoid in a sedulously careful manner the evil influences of colds upon the body, is like neglecting the substance for the shadow of health; or more properly, it is like one who starves his body and then strives to keep quiet in order that his strength shall not be exhausted. Let food be taken and the exhaustion from exercise will not ensue; let all the con ditions of health be observed and then the natural changes of the weather will fall harmlessly on the healthy functions of the body. sanitarian. The Process of Cremation. The meeting of the German Cremation Society at No. JJ7 Ludlow street, Satur day evening, was well attended, and an address of some interest delivered by Mr. Stilck, the President of the society. The proposed reform, he thought, would greatly lessen the cost now incurred in disposing of the bodies of the dead. This the society shortly intended to prove by erecting the necessary buildings and apparatus. Their design was to build a hall with walls of iron 00x44 feet, with a rotunda in the center supported by eight pillars. Ail light would be ad mitted from the top. In the center would be erected an altar for religious ceremo ny, and upon a large plate in front of the altar the coffin containing the dead would be deposited by relatives. On this plate would be an iron coffin, in which the friends might place the body only, or their own coffin if desired. A light composition plate would be at tached and screwed to the iron coffin, and every other service performed as in present burials. The ceremonies ended, the coffin would gradually disappear from view, the plate on which it rested being low ered by screw s. No mortal hand would touch or manipulate the body after the relatives had taken their farewell. The aperture would then be closed. The coffin, in its descent, would rest upon a car, and be moved by ma chinery toward the furnace in the rear of the altar. By means of otherscrews the plate and coffin would be raised to the furnace and the remains submitted to a hot-air blast of 1,000 degs. Fahrenheit. From 250 to 450 pounds of coal-oil would be required to feed the furnace, and complete cremation would be effected in an hour and a half. Connecting with the furnace was another apparatus for condensing the gases and smoke. Not the slightest smell would be perceptible, and the whole business would be con ducted w ith due respect for the feelings of relatives and friends. At the expira tion of the time mentioned the coffin would again be returned to the altar, and the ashes, gathered and placed in urns and given to the relatives. The entire process would cost about 8. The socie ty at present numbers 450 members, and an effort will be made to have it incor porated by the next Legislature. JV. T". Times. Blackwood says that "the act of mat rimony or bachelorship is written so legi bly in a man's appearance that no ingenu ity can conceal it. Everywhere there is some inexplicable instinct that tells us whether an individual (whose name, for tune and circumstances are totally un known) be, or be not, a married man.

A little pounded mace or grated rind of a small lemon may vary the flavor of this excellent pudding, and slices of candied peel should be laid rather thickly over the mold after it is buttered. Die Glass, living near Granby, who is clearing up a new farm, has been troubled w ith a large number of big oak stumps. He had heard that saltpeter was good for stumps. Accordingly, two months ago, he sprinkled on the top of each stump about a ta blespoonful of pulverized saltpeter. A fewr days ago he set tire to these slumps, and says they commenced and continued to burn until every stump was totally consumed, roots and all, so that lie was able to plow without the least difficulty- over the very ground formerly occupied by those large stumps. He says some of ttic stumps burned four or nve days. Farmers, try the doctor's remedy; he says it will not fall.

This is a dead shot. (Jranby Slu.) Miner. Insects Injurious to the Potato Crop. Entomologists assure us that there arc not less than ten distinct species of bugs preying upon the potato plants within the limits of the United States. Many of them are confined within cer tain geographical limits; some attack the potato in the larvie state and in the perfect or w inged stale, and others again in the larva? state alone. In the case of seven of these insects there is but one brood every year while of the remaining three there are every year from two to three broods, each ot them generated by the females belonging to the preceding brood. Eight of the ten feed on the leaves or the tender stems of the potato while two of them burrow like the borer exclusively in the larger stalks. Almost every one of these ten species has its pe culiar insect enemies, and a mode of attack which will prove very successful against one, two or three of them will often prove worthless when employed against the remainder. The stalk-borer, the potato stalk weevil and the potato or tomato worm attack the potato only in the larva? state. The striped blister beetle, the ash-gray blis ter beetle, the black rat blister beetle and the margined blister beetle attack it ex clusively in the perfect state. The three lined leaf beetle, the cucumber flea beetle and the Colorado potato beetle attack it both in the larva? and perfect state, but go underground to pass the pupa state, in which state, like all other beetles without exception, they are quiescent and eat nothing. Ar. Y. llerald. Keeping Out Flies. "There is no royal road to get rid of flies," for we who tread the common road must execute our own w ills in this mat ter. Those who are determined to have their houses free from flies during the hot season may find the realization of their desires comparatively easy, requir ing only a small amount of painstaking in proportion to the comfort insured. The way is, not to let the flies accumu late till they are so thick we can stand it no longer, and then commence a whole sale slaughter with cobalt, fly-paper, soapsuds, fly-traps and every other de vice we can hear of. Swarms of living flies are disgusting enough, but dead and poisoned flies dropping all about us, ! The plates of wet poison, too, waiting for unsuspecting victims, wheth er they be children or flies, ! First, there must be screens at the windows and outside doors of all the oc cupied rooms in the house. For the windows, light frames may be made that will not interfere with the opening and shutting of the sash and blinds, and cov ered with white cotton mosquito netting, which costs but a trifle; the white is pref erable, the colored being more noticea ble, besides giving the rooms a gloomy appearance. If there are little folks running about, or careless grown people, the doors will require something strong er, and should be screened with wire netting. With this arrangement the doors and windows niayr be thrown open and we will have all the air and sunshine that can be had in any case, and flies will not multiply in a house without first getting in. But a few w ill get in during the day as people pass in and out, even though the netted doors spring to their places, drawn by rubber bands; hey should be driven out every morning, as they drive more readi ly then than toward night. To make a fly-driver, take two flour sacks of manila paper (the common brown is not strong enough), cut off the bottoms, which are formed of the pasted corners lapped down, and slit the bags down the length in strips an inch wide, leaving a margin of an inch or two at the bottom. Wind this uncut margin firmly around the end of a stick, and secure it with tacks. The long flying ends make the most; effectual fly-driver imaginable green boughs are no comparison. The height of the rooms should deteimine the length of the handle ; for low ceilings, an old broom-handle answers every purpose. Before attempting to drive the flies from a room, close. all the blinds and doors ex cept the one through which you wish them to make their egress; now strike Justily, and nmkf brisk wofU,. und In a few moments the noisy paper shreds will have driven them all from the room. With the screens, a few minutes' work every forenoon will keepany house com fortably rid of flies. Then, when the work-table is by an open window, and one is engaged in putting up jelly, pre paring pastry, or handling fruit, It is such a comfort to see the files come mrt ing up arid take a rest on the outside of the screen, with such evident longing aild disappointment. It Is is well, too; riot to ignore the fact that any filthy ac cumulation about the premises Is food for llies SwiU pails or barrelsany filthy watc in proximity tb the house attracts and nourishes them, making our troublesome visitors more numerous. Cor. Country Gentleman. Rushing Crops to Market. Tit tents are certain perishable products that must find Immediate market or there is loss to the producer'; but the great staple crop may safely be held herl tliere.ls frpod reason for holding and no pressing reasiiri for selling. It is sug gested, we notice, that half cif thb early crops of grain say winter wheat be stored. The wisdom of this advice, of course, depends upon prospective demand upon the old stock on hand at home nd abryad when the new crop goes on the marKi-l, aild tipo'l the fm.'Hjht yfl.h new crop as compared w ith that of pre vious years. The means for determining the policy to be pursued are more com plete than ever before. The crop report to the Department of Agriculture, by commercial. reports to the paper, and the facilities afforded by a more complete or ganization of farmers than has been be fore known in this country facilitate the obtaining of this information. But the most vicious suggestion Ave have seen is that " it might be a good plan for the wheat grower to borrow the money re quired for Immediate Use atid an-housc as much as possible of his crop." This is making the producer a speculator on his own products with a vengeance. Of course it might happen that the farmer who did this would make money betting on the price of bis grain two to six months hence, and paying 10 to 20 per cent, for money to bet with; but attain, he might not make and might lose the money he had put Up. We regard all ad vice that encourages any one to run in debt especially when there is no abso lute need of it vicious. This advice when given to farmers for speculative purposes, involving kb a basis of action a thorough knowledge of commercial wants and values, is doubly bad. If a farmer is able to hold his grain for better prices without running in debt, it is a different matter; even then he must take a risk; but he does not go in debt to take it and that is the main tiling we denounce running In debt. Rural Xew Yorker. Sticklers for Etiquette. These unappcasably exact folk who must have their pound of social flesh, and will not be put off w ith less than their precise due, are, for the most part, diffi cult people to keep in good humor. They know nothing of that easy-going, slip shod good-nature which give's and takes, and never keeps any debtor and creditor account at all; which sends out two invi tations to their neighbor's one, or forgets to return his calT w ithin the prescribed limits, and then meets him with a beam ing smile and a jocund manner, as if he were not a sinner and a breaker of the law. That kind of thing is abhorrent to them as bad as cobwel3.s on the ceiling or material slippers down at heel. What the sticklers for etiquette like is every thing to be done with the nicest pre cisioninvitation for invitation, and the complimentary card left on the exact date on which it should be left; call re turned for call within the term prescribed according to the degree of intimacy; and the whole of the social life mapped out as you would map out the plan of an es tate, with so many acres, roods and perches signed to A, and so many rods of forest-grow th told on" to B. Sometimes, however, these sticklers for etiquette arc kind people in their way people who will lend but not borrow, give but not ask. They are generous in bestowing, but not generous enough to accept. They will load their neighbors with benefits, but they will not carry away so much as a flower in free gift. Their house is open to you, and you might, if you would, use it in their absence, and make yourself at home with a cup of afternoon tea and a lounge on the comfortable sofa; but they would die of fatigue and inanition rather than do the same by you ; and you may talk forever, but you can not beat it into their heads that there is no difference between you, and what they allow from you they may also com mit for their own parts. Not a bit of it. To the end they remain generous, hos pitable, free-handed in w hat I hey grant ; and to the end, also, precise, stiil' stick lers for etiquette, and tiresomely punctil ious in what they accept. Sometimes they are just the contrary to this, and, while they will accept unconventional kindnesses frankly enough, will not al low the smallest infraction of the rhada mantine rule of strictest etiquette to themselves. They would hold it as an unpardonable liberty if their dearest friend should enter their house in their absence, though he or she had come twenty miles and more to see them. A servant who should offer a cup of tea of lier own accord, even to their sister, would receive her dismissal before the night had come; and a life-long intimacy has been broken for all time for no greater offense than that of picking unbidden a bit of mignonette out of a bed which was choked with its own luxuriance. And some again arc at least just and logical, and neither give nor take, but demand the pound of flesh with the most scru pulous exactness and pay It just as methodically. Pall Mall Gazette. Signor De Yrvo, the opera and con cert manager, brightens his country home near New York w ith a complete aviary. Not long ago he trapped a young kingbird, and ever since the capture ot the little fellow its parents have hovered near the cage and take turns in watching, tending and protecting it, bringing it all the delicacies of the bird menu and chat tering to it incessantly notes of comfort and consolation. The bravery of the kingbird is proverbial, for, though small, they have been frequently known to at tack and rout so large a bird as the haw k. In the present instance their bravery is displayed in a remarkable degree. Should any one approach the cage they fly down from their leafy watching places and at tack the intruders fiercely and pluckily, picking at him with their beaks, and making the effort to look at the young kingbird a not altogether pleasant one.

We heard a seedy-looking individual with an alarm ingly red nose remark to a brother soaker that he had "just liau Ins hitters, nut he did not mind taking another nip." His remark suggested a train of reflection. How was it, we asked ourselves, that the word " bitters had grown to be a syno nym for gin, whisky, rum and other alco. hollc stimulants, to which it was applied indiscriminately' letters, we reasoned, suggested the idea of a healthful ionic, not of a poisonous stimulant; something invigorating to the system, not an alco holic irritant, full of fusel-oil, producing present intoxication ahd ultimate insan ity, idiocy, or premature death. More over, our idea of bitters was totally irrec oncilable with cin cocktails," " rum punches" and " brandy smashes," which, we are informed, are sweetened with sugar, and rendered doubly injurious w ith essences colored by means of min eral poison. This was bitter-sweet with a vengeance. "We mentioned this prob lem to a friend. He solved it by exclaim ing: 44 Why, don't you know that most of these bitters advertised as remedies are only drams in disguise?
