PICTURE OF THE HISTORIAN MACAULEY.-There
is a common pedestrian Of LOudon streets well
known 10 all who are acquainted with their no
liabilities. He is a short, stout. sturdy, energet-
lc man. He has a big, round face. aud large,
staring aud very bright hazel eyes. His halr ls
cut short aud his hat flung back on the GROVE
of his head His gait is firm and decided, with
little touch Of pomposlty. He is ever provi-
ded with an umbrella, which be swings and
fourishes. and batters On the pavement with
mighty tbumps. lie seems generally absorbed
in exciting and impulsive thought. the traces Of
which be takes no pains 10 conceal. His face
works, his lips move and mutter, bis eyes CLEAN
aud flash. Squat as is his figure, and not par
ticuarly fine the features. there is an uninstak-
able air of mental power and energy, approach
ing TO grandeur, about the man. He is evident
ly under the influence OF strong excitement Of
fiery thought People gaze curiously at him,
and stop to stare when he has passed But he
heeds no one-seems indeed, 10 have utterly
forgotten that he is not alone in his privacy. and
pushes on unwilling Of the many who stare aud
smile, or Of the few who step respectfully aside.
and look with curiosity and regard upon Them
as Darlington Macauley.
Occasionally however. the historian aud the
poet gives still frcer vent to the mental impnls-
es which appear to be continually working with
in him. He was lately recognized, dining in
coffee room Of the Trafalgar Hotel. at Green
wch-a fashionable whitehall house, which, it
appears, be frequently patronizes. He was
alone as he generally is, and the attention OF
more than one of the company was attracted by
his peculiar muttering and 6dgetiness, and by
the mute gestures with which he ever and anon
illustrated his mental dreamings. All at once
it must have been towards the climax Of the
prose or verse which he was working up in his
mind, Mr.. Macauley seizd massive decanter,
held it a moment suspended in the air, and then
dashed it down on the table with such hearty
good will, that the solid crystal flew about in
fragments, while the numerous parties dining
round instinctivly started up and stared at the
curious iconocast. Not whit put about,
however Mr.. Macauley, who was well known
to the walters, called loudly for his bill to be
made out at the bar, and then, pulling, with
couple of jerks. his hat and bis umbrella, from
the stand, clapprd the one carelessy on his head,
and strode out aourishing the other.

NEVADA CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER

PnoGREss OF TUE Town OF SANTA Cruz Santa
Cruz (the Holy Cross) was settled by the Span
ish, according to Humboldt, in 1894. The Fa-
theirs established mission the same year. In
1902, according to the same author, the popu-
lation of the mission consisted of 4S1 indians.
Mr. Forbes says that in 1881, the mission, which
covered nearly all the valuable land Of the
county, produced in all, Of wheat. corn, barley,
beans aud peas 876 fanagas, or 2ls0 bushels.
The Rev. Walter Cotton says that at the same
date, the mission had in ALL of cattle. horses.
sheep and mules, ll7,7o0, large herds of swine,
and $4,000 worth of silver plate. Various
causes produced decline, and the mission is not
now by far what it once was in wealth and
power Not until lS45 we're there any Ameri-
can families in Santa Cruz. The first Protes-
tant religious service was conducted in lS47,
The first private school was taught in 1S4S.
The first school assuming pubic aspect was
commenced in the latter pa of 1850. Though
several families settled in and shout town, but
little was done either in the establishment of o
town or in agricultural pursuits until 1928.
Since then the town has steadily but perma-
nently increased. 1t has all the facilities at
present for a large and important town. If it
continues to grow for two or three years to
come as no doubt it WILL it will be among the
important towns of this State. About fifty
houses have been built during the past year;
quite number of which are large, beautiful
residences, that would do credit to any place.

it disappeared beneath the green pool OF its own
corruption. Brutal war, made a business OF and
carried in every direction, drew upon another

Shall the stately shade Of republican America
