WHAT Is a DARLING7

A lady requested Brick" Pomeroy's
definition of what is darling How
handsomely "Brick" has responded, the
trulhfulness of the exquisite pen picture
which follow will attest:
If our definition will please any ono Of
settle point in dispute, it is given cheer
fully. A darling, as wo should speak !the
word, would mean a very dear, good,
heart-loved girl or woman, who held the
innermost place in our heart. She would
be a woman loved above all else in tho
world-a woman I'VE should defend before
all mankind-a woman whose lips were
those Of truth and saoredpess, whose hap
piness man could live fora woman a
man could be proud ola woman you
could put your arm iu gentlcness around,
draw to your heart, press kiss 10 her
forehead, and one on her lips, and as her
head half rested on your shoulder, look
deep into her eyes and whisper, Darling
She should be 4 woman in whom we had
all tho confidence in the world, ono man
would be proud to make happy, and
whose pride would be in her husbands
SUCCESS, happiness, reputation, her own
good name, her person, her friendship,
her house, and the purity Of her heart
Darling means everything, words un-
spoken, caresses ripeuing for love to feed
on, volumes unwrittsuP kind action waiting
opportunity; hopes Vhexpressed; faith un-
told for want of suitable words. 1t is the
flower which beauties the tree that bears
the most delicious fruit in seasons. The
word is volume. It means moro than
one Can express; the clasping Of the spirit
hands Of love in heart-worsbip Of tho truo
and good; the word rainbow which spans
the sky of hope and life; the bursting of the
bud of tho most beautiful flower which
sheds perfume over the hearts of those
who love.
We have answered our correspondent
hastily, not fully, for the word is text
for an endless sermon, AMI sk61da ,onlYa ap.
ply TO sweetheart, wife, dsgda ts.
which are dear to you because children Of.
the first darling. 1t is different word, a
longer word, more meaning word than
Pet, though often used in its place.

Somethin. for Farmers.

The present season in California has been very
favorable one for our farmers, and 70 make the most
from the abundant crops with which they have been
favored, shonld be the study Of the prudent has
bandrnan. There are many seasons less favorable
to them than the present one has been, and gener-
ally the seasons are more favorable 10 other wheat
growing countries than this season has been. The
failure OF the wheat erop in several Of the Eastern
and Western States, Is vel, as in England, France,
Germany and Italy, has already advanced the price
Of wheat in the Fan Francisco market, and opinion
has been expressed By several papers who have
watched the grain market Of this State in former
years, that farmers who are % situated Is TO be
able 10 hold to their wheat. viii yet realize as
high as g 10 or 81 20 Z hudred bs for it. The
demand for wheat and -four for shipment to Great
Britain has already been very heavy, and late ad-
vices lead to the belief that the future demand viii
be much larger. The Atlantic States give Us credit
for producing the best wheat in the world. New
York. Boston, Philadelphia, and New Orleans have
already received considerable of car grain. and
they want more. Exports for the last nine months
have been 81 4I6 sos % worth Of fiaar and s. as
sos 81 worth Of wheat. Increase over last year il
-four 81 .0S5 900 Is; in wheat, s3l6 SOP %. Our
exports for a single week the present season, were
over y 900 sacks Of wheat embracing one cargo 10
China, one to New Zealand, one to Melbourne, two
to New York. and two 70 Liverpool. The Bulletin
estimates the quantity Of wheat now in our market
from 100000 TO 100000 sacks. The same paper
says: This year, We Of California come fairly into
the field Of grain growers for the first time and by
the results of the weather of England our farmers
will profit largely. The only drawback at the
present moment i the rate asked for treghts-50
to 50 shiliings z ton was the rate a month ago for
wheat. and since the latest has come 70 slil-
hngs in an exceptional case has been given by an
outsider, though Il shillings and pence = ton Is
about the highest figure ever paid for wheat u Iiy
erpool a any time. Each farmer must decide for
himself what course he win take-whether to hold
or sell. He may rest assured that England viii
have 10 buy 20 coo $50 quarters "a quarter IS quar-
ter of a tom or eight bnshels) Of grain from some
where, and unless the north of Europe and the
countries bordering On the Mediterranean and the
Black Sea, have made most remarkable harvest,
prices at least viii be sustained. He must take in
to consideration that freghts are now at the highest
known rate, and, judging by precedent. are more
likely to fall below the high sum asked, than rise
much above it; and that every shilling saved from
the shipowuers is twenty five cents gained by the
growers. Lastly, he should bear in mind that
where there is carbon there will be crows, and this
year where there is gria there viii be ships

-'Your fellow citizen. George Hamblin, Esq, Of
Butte Valley, has recently undergone one Of the
severest surgical operations that human nature
bear up under. A tGmor weighing six or seven
pounds, had grown upon the seapuia, or shoulder
blade of the right arm, and its successful
removal required the cutting away of about two
thirds Of the scapgla, which had become diseased
and which could only be removed by means of for
ceps, clipping off the bone in small fragments.

tcularly desired my attendance, and although it
was most unpleasant sght-one which never
