whose headquarters were at Ensenada; it is reported to have sold out to an English company Of course, any of these grantees would be glad to encourage an influx of Chinamen, for they would fulfill the conditions of the grants as well as anybody else, and, these fulfilled, the grants would become of enormous value.

In one respect the establishment of a Chinese colony in Lower California might be favorably viewed here, as it would have a tendency at first to draw off our Chinese population. But, in another point of view, it will strike Californians unfavorably. If the Chinese dominated Lower California they would not be comfortable or friendly neighbors. It would be difficult to prevent intercourse between them and their countrymen in this State, and at times when there was a demand for labor in the southern counties it would be hard to keep out the China- men of the south. In fact, we may be pretty sure that a majority of Chinamen who gain entrance to Mexico will improve the first chance that offers to slip over the line into California or Arizona.--San Francisco Call.

COLOUR AND HARMONY. The great art of dress is to know just how far to draw attention to clothes and no farther; never to allow them to impinge upon the interest that should be centreed in the face. I have seen intelligent human beings who apparently chose that their attire should be the first and last thing one thought of in connection with them. No beautiful woman, if she be clever withal, makes this mistake. Her dress may be sumptuous; it may heighten herattractions if judiciously chosen; it should never astonish and bewilderus. Weread of the gorgeous attire of Queen Elizabeth, and are dazzled with the cloth of gold, the pearl embroidered ruff and jeweled stomacher recorded in Zucchero's portraits of that vain and ill-favored sovereign. They are the woman; and take an unique prominence in our recollection of the thin, shadowless face, surrounded and overpowered by so much magnificence. But ef her beautiful rival's clothes "we hear little ; and' when we think of the Holyrood portrait of Mary it is. the refinement and dignity of the lady we remember, not the splendor of her apparel. The butterfly prettiness of a Pompadour, or the vacillating plaiuness of many an explegia countenance that smiles upon us from canvases painted in the Directoire days, may thrive under a fluiter of, laces and roses and parti-colored ribbons, or be humorously accentuated by a monstrous wig, gigantic hat and jabos, Perhaps they need such adventitious aids; at all events, eccentricity of form and violence of color (as in the beflowered, brocades the ladies of the Court of Louis XIV so much affected) cannot hurt them. But it is otherwise with the noble ladies whom, Vandyck and Reynolds loved, to paint. No doubt some of them, like Joseph, affected many colors, but these painters knew that to nine-tenths of women nothing is so "unbecoming:" that sallow, mottled or rubicund complexions are best relieved by broad masses of one tint-perhaps offenest by white or black-emphasized by a sharp accent- of opposing brightness. They knew, moreover, that where the dignity of beauty itself may be absent, the beauty of dignity, of that calm, unconscious grace (which is indeed a "spiritual" grace more than a merely physical one) is in. compatible with obstrusive clothes. Sir Joshua, when the modes were outre, mitigated them as far as possible. His gracious 1'dies speak to and fascinate us with careless case in spise of their monstrous edifices, their whalebones, buckram and scarcely manageable hats. And, above all, they mostly stand, with no strong shadows, rightly clad in tender hues, that harmonize with the soft gray English sky above and soft home landscape round them. He felt -and he taught his sitters for the nonce to recognize that the human face, if endowed with any measure of intelligence, nobility or charm, must rise superior and not be subservient to his raiment; that a variety of colors is not brilliancy, nor is bedizenment distinction.

with it until they were positive of its real character, and for three or four months it grew larger and larger.

Drs. Deardo ff. and Sponogle saw that the time had come to remove the ugly protuberance, and they cut it off, cleaned out the wound again, and drew the cut edges of the scalp as near together as they could. They took out two and three-quarter ounces of the brain and subjected the fungoid matter to a microscopic examination, They found, as they expected, that it was com posed of true nerve tissue. Contrary to expecta tion the wound seemed to heal, and to their great surprise they saw granulations form on the nerve tissue between cut edges of the scalp. The granulations, however, were rather red and had an inflammatory appearance, but the granulations increased, the threatened inflam- mation disappeared, and to-day the boy is fat and strong.

A piece of the bullet still remains in his brain, but he experiences no pain and eats heartily. Of course, it could not be expected that he would escape from so terrible a shock and "mutilation without some lasting infirmity, The cutting by the bullet of so much brain tissue has partly paralyzed his right side, and his ideas canie to him slowly at first, but after he gets fairly started the hesitation in thought and speech is no longer observable,

the outcome of the case. If the boy had died The attending physicians feel very proud of they would have been flayed alive with the scalpels of professional criticism.

Casen in which a patient has survived with a bullet in his brain are exceedingly rare.

One of the most recent is that of a Stockton gardener named Paravagna, who was shot with ä pistol bullet a little above and in front of the is brain almost in a horizontal line, and lodged right ear. The bullet went completely through against the skull on the left side. The wound was treated by local physicians, and to their

surprise he recovered. After his recovery his thinking faculties were found to be considerably inpatied. He would harness eng side of a horse and neglect to harness the other side. He never a uld remember where he left an article a mement after he land it down, but his heakh was good and his muscular strength remained unim- paired.

The bullet is sull in his brain.

It has heretofore been almost an axiom among the profession that nerve tice will not granulate, or, in other words, that when a part of it is destroyed or qut it will not be reproduced,

as in the care of muscular tissue, which will granulate and heal. The case upon which the doctors named operated is one of some nine' months' standing, and has been frequently men. tioned in the local newspapers, bot the outcome of the experiments was not definitely ascertained until a few days ago, and is now given for the first time to the public through the columns of the Republican.

Some time in August last a ten-year-old boy named Frank Stamm was accidentally shot by a playmate with a pistol ball in the left side of the forehead. The missile crashed through the skull without glancing and imbedded itself in the brain. From the jagged edges of the wound portions of the brain protruded, and the sufferer Jay unconscious and as one dead.

Several physicians were called in. and, after making an examination which satisfied them that the bullet was in the brain, they said there was no hope of the patient surviving, Then Drs. Deardorff and Sponogle were sent for, and, after consultation, decided that there was about one chance in a million to save the lad's life, They determined to try the chance. They argued

Without losing any time they trepanned the skull and removed several pieces of broken bone and a fragment of the bullet that had been split in passing through the skull.

The boy gained rapidly in health and strength, but his condition was still critical, and a turn for the worse might.come at any moment.
