AaRlyA. OF FRUIT FROM CALIFORNIA.


Sending Grapes Overland "a Failure.
One feature Of the opening Of overland railway
communication with California IL the introduction
10 our market OF various kinds o fruit grown on the
Pacific slope. The first cargo, consisting OF pears,
was brought here about four weeks ago. similar
kind OF freight arrived two weeks snce but yester
day an immense consignment, made up chiefly OF
grapes, TO a house In Dey street, came in by the
Hudson River Railroad. There were S25 cases alto
gether, forty-seyen OF which were 1led with an ex
o Of seckeI ana four OF flemish beauty
pears brilliant tinted style OF lruit.
There was one case OF extra Gne plums as large as
pears, good deal like those grown III Southern
Germany, but OF much superior navor All tne
rest, numbering 73S cases, were illedlt might be
truly SAID. pacEed--wlth the following KINDS OF
grapes:-Paulin Rouze Black Hamburg Mascat,
Black Prince, Frankendale California, Black Malaga,

days to this city, cost Of freight six dollars per

conspicuuously on the wood OF the box ITO
Anew otner cases presents for private individuals
In Baltimore ami Washington. With the exception
oil a few boxes OF Muscat all tho other grapes
shipped across the continent nave undergone 80
much damage as not to be worth the cost OF freight
.Mr. Peasants, Of Sacramento city, accompanied
the grape cargo 10 observe the results upon 1t OF
seven days continuous railroad journey, and he has
come to the conclusion that the grapes received
more injury from Chicago to New York than In
rough motion Of the car was perceptlbly
noticed on the roads from Chicago here.
A great portion OF the grapes were packed
In rude, unplanea and heavy boxes, wholly
unit It would appear even to the unnitiated eye
for such delicate fruit tue ripe full grape OF Cali
fornia. The consynee OF the fruit thinks the only
remedy TO put the grapes up In small packages Of
Blk pounds or SO, covered with Q thin cloth on TOD
and TO allow plenty Of ventilation for the freight
car. good many irult dealers examined the Call
fornia product with much interest. The grapes are
all OF fine, ful flavor but sadly shaken by their
overland voyage. in consequence OF the condition

siguees may happen to get.

Less than year ago there came to THIS cts a poor

Young man became o frequent visitor 10 the
house OF the young married couple, but up
TO the present time there was not the least suspicion
that his visits were ANYTHING but honorable aud we
incline To the opinion that there was not. One day
last week the lady came Into possession OF about
s2s0 900 In cash as her proportion OF patrlmony In
the East. Then 10 appears she conceived n liking
for the young mechanic, and an elopement was
planned for sunday night last At any rate the lady
and the mechanic have both disappeared, and tee-
grams nave disclosed the iact that they were being
RAPIDLY whired through Canada on an express train.
The couple took with them the whole OF the money
lately received by tho lady, amounting, we have
above stated to $4,000 IN cash. The husband started
on the express train yesterday morning In pursuit.

In Georgia alone seven new railways
are under construction, and some Of
them are approaching completion.

miles, has been nearly all built since
the war, and will soou be in running or.

way is fairly commenced, and one Sec
ton will 5000 be opened. Another
road, from Brunswick to Albany, lis
miles, is begun. In Alabama several
great lines are under way, and most of
them are Of importance. The route
from Chattanooga to Meridian, Mississip-
pi, through Northern Alabama, has one
hundred and Fifty miles in running or
der, and Of the new roads planned one
runs from Griffith to Decatur, 237
miles; one runs from Montgomery to
Decatur, 1873 miles and another from
Chattanooga to Montgomery, with

SEEKING HIDDEN TREAsURs.-The an
nexsd we find in the Nevada City Ga
zete of the cath:
A person living in this city has been
for months past searching for $50 900 in
bullion which no conceives lies buried
near a certain point within the citylinits.
A noted highwaymaR, many years ago,
after q long series of d~epredations upon
our road, and numerous burglaries, was
caught, convicted, aud still occupies
quarters in San Quentin. Tho reasure
seeker has positive information that this
desperate buried the above amount Of
treasure and has full faith that he knows
very near where 1t lies. He first engaged
to build a house for the owner of the
ground on which the plscer was sup
posed to be hidden. Instead Of putting
up the building, however, he commenced
making excavations in different places.
After working 10 this way for a long
time, to no purpose, he got out Of funds,
and went off to find work to %rslipquish
his exehequer. Upon returning, he
rented the ground, and went to work
digging again. He has now about half
an acre dug over, and is still hard at it,
and is sauguine that be will soon strike
the glittsring prize Of gold dust, gold
bars aud twenty dollar pieces. The
facts in the case have been known to US
for rome months, but until the recent re-
ported discovery of the Cocos Island
treasure, we had not deemed them Of
sufficient Importance to be made pub:
lie.

Ok TIE FIFTEENTH ANlNDNIYST.-
Last Tuesday evening, at Sacramento, a
lecture WAS given at the Fifth atrset
African church, by P. Anderson, on the
subject Of the Fifteenth Amendment.
The Record says:
The audience was fair in numbers,
and listened with attention TO the
speaker. In the course Of his remarks
no said that 500, 900 900 Of the earth's
inhabitants are Of the colored com.
pleIion. It was not until Columbus
discovered America that Africa's trou-
bles began. Have these ebony sans Of
Adam acted their part as well 10 the
Now World as in tho Old, let the records
Of l778, of 1919, and of the late war,
answer. 10 view Of this, they await the
adoption Of the Fifteenth Amendment
as just reward of theis loyalty. He
held, from Biblical evidence, that
Adam, being made Of The earth, was Of
a dark or reddish color, and Eve, hav-
ing been made Of his flesh, was colorsd
also. 1t is probable that at the time OF
Noah's flood man varied in complexion
az now, but whether leprosy or climate
caused it is yet undecided. But if God
variegated everything In nature -
beasts, birds, fshes-isit not in keeping
to say tina. the blackbird 10 inferior 10
the white bird or to the red bird, or the
blackfsh to any other FISH ? If Ethiopia
has fallen to the rear, she WAS once,
with Egypt, ahead in tue arts aud sci
encsl, aud God has promised that she
shall again stretch forth her hand unto
Him. He held that the Fifteenth Amend
msnt would enable the African race In
America TO prove whatever Of worth
that 10 in it. 1t would place the race
on a fair platform, and thus open a way
for its advancement In civilization.
