A PROFITABLE RANcHo.-Last year, Mr..
j. Lusk, of Alameda County, whose rancho
is within four miles of Oakland, cultivated
fifty acres of raspberries and derived from
them very handsome profit. He sent to
market ninety tons of fresh raspberries, which
were sold at an average of ten cents per
pound, or a total of $4,000. He manufac-
tured into jams, jellies, and pie fruits twenty
tons, which will realize him in the neighbor>
hood of $4,000. He manufactured fifteen
thousand gallons of wine, worth thirty-hve
cents per gallon at the lowest figure, or S6, ESQ.
He also manufactured ten thousand gallons
Of vinegar, worth twenty cents per gallon, or
$4,000, making the total products OF bis
ranch S36,250. The cost of culti9ating,
picking, canning, barrelling, and getting to
market, may be put down at SIC, 900, leaving
him the handsome sum of Sl6,250 for his
years labor. Mr. Lusk is now preparing
one hundred and fifty acres of land which he
designs to plant in tomatoes. His intention
is to can all the product of this immense field
and place them upon the market in such
quantities and at such prices that any one
who is fond of the love apple can have them
every meal the year round. It is estimated
that the one hundred and fifty acres will
Weld at least one million cans, and if he
makes but Q cent q can his receipts from
this source will be ten Thousand dollars.
Such 'ranching' or farming as this would
rather astonish the old fogy farmers of the
Eastern States, where they imagine that they
have done big years work when they have
cleaned up snd find balance on hand OF
$500 or Sf,O0O.-S f. CaA

A carpet-Baggsr Come. to Grief.

A few weeks ago White-skinned loyalist
with oolored habits, and q wardrobe neatly
enclosed in paper collar box, found it cons
venient to tarry at ArkadelphiA in Southern
Arkansas
OF course, he was a school teacher like
all travelling loyalists, and managed to impose
himself into some quite respectable colored
circles. When be opened school with a
dozen pupils of the first families Of Africa,
he registered his name as Joseph G. Day.
But bis brief career in that field Of pickiugs
was 10 no wise similar to the ancient Joseph,
who lived cotemporary with Mr.. Potiphar
(and Mrs. P - except that he Aed. Yes, ,-he
bad to fee; he went toward Little Rock,
and he may get an appointment as body SER

ored 'melishia'
The way he came to wander so abruptly
from Arkadelphia, one gloomy night, was in
this wise
Among his pupils were three females of
sweet-scented sixteen, aud by one of them he
was smitten in the heart. As a natural
sequence he tried to smite her in the heart.
The damsel scorned his advances in the cita-
del Of her modesty, and, with tears in her
eyes as big as hail stones and twice as fierce,
she few home and told her mother. The
old lady, her foDd mamma, just told her
dusky lord and, after dusk on Saturday
night, September 10Th, year of our Lord
1868, be, the colored lord, raised a crowd Of
about seventeen other African lords, and
surrounded the cabin where G. Day had fa-
vored select Ethiopian family with his 'godly
walk for the simple consideration of his
board aud washing. About the time clock
would have struck the virtuous hour of fnino,
if there had been one in the select boarding.
house, the select committee tapped at the
crack which served Mr.. c. Day as a window
and told him in choice African dialect, as
musical as the notes offs Spanish guitar, that
deg wanted to see him shortly or sooner, and
to git out O. dar.' Mr. q. Day looked out
and thought that be could see stars. One
of his friends remarked to him gently, come
out EN- dar, you Id low-life scalawag.'
A dozen joined in the chorus and invited him
to come out O. dar.' Prof. Day called a
parley, and asked them what in the name of
loyalty and New England primers they
wanted. They told him he had to leave

said he'd die FIRST but they told him that

colored lords marched him down to the river,
whislling the 'Rouge's march, and put him
across, with instructions not to come back,
unless he was willing to take a prominent
part in first class funeral. Without inquir-
ing for his collar box, or even sending
message or lock of hair to his colored sis,

GOOSE LAKE VALLEY.-The Oregon Sen
tinel, Goth instant says: DR.. Greenman, his
brother VIM, and Mr.. A. Tenbrook have
Just returned from a three months sojourn in
Goose Lake Valley, and from them we learn
some interesting facts When they left,
there we're seventeen cabins built, each rep>
resenting a claim. The boundary line be-
tween Oregon aud California divides the
valley and lake about the center about half
the claims are located on the Oregon side,
and consequently in Jackson county. These
gentlemen have all secured claims, on which
they have made permanent Improvements
They speak in the highest terms of the val
ley, the soil is exceedingly rich and appar-
emily well adapted to cereals. The climate
is little colder than that of this valley, only
about foot of snow having fallen there, and
the mercury never falling lower than sixteen
degrees above Zero The lake is over htty
miles long and from eight to ten miles in
width. They think its altitude is less than
that of Surprise Valley, in Siskiyou county;
and express the belief that there will be a
large emigration there next Summer

COURAGEOUS LAPLAND uIRL..-The skill
acquired by these nomade people in throwing
the lasso avails them at times in making
captives of other animals besides their own
deer. On one occasion, said Clergyman
in Norrland, when Lapp, in company with
young female, was driving the herd through
the forest, they accidentally reused largo
bear from his winter quarters The girl very
fortunately, had the lasso in her hand, which,
with great cooness and skill, she threw over
his head as he was slowly quitting his den,
and at the same instant coiled the other end
of the thong to tree. The brute, in finding
himself thus in the tolls, dashed at the Ama>
zon but as he slipped on one side, he fortu.
nalely missed his aim, and, on coming to his
tether, was, in sailor language, brought shor.
up, and thrown to the ground. Bruins ca.
reer was soon brought to an end, for, seizing
the thong with his paws, and by so doing
the moose, he presently managed
to strangle himself The Lapp, on seeing
the beast charge the girl, took fright and ran
away; and, as the consequence, the bold
wench, who was to have been married to him,
sent him at once to the rightabout, very
properly refusing to have anything more to
say to so dastardly fellow.

SHAMROCK OF IRELAND.

One day St. Patrick was preaching at Tara.
He was anxious to explain the doctrines of
the Holy Trinity. The people failed to un>
derstand aud refused to believe that there
could be three persons and yet but one God.
The holy man paused moment, absorbed in
thought, and seeing shamrock peeping from
the green turf, exclaimed:
"Do you not see in this simple little wild
flower how three leaves are united into one
stalkp
His audience understood without difficulty
this simple yet striking illustration, to the
inexpressible delight of St. Patrick. From
that day the shamrock became the national
emblem of Ireland.

The Ross. The Thistle and the shamrock.
Chamber journal gives the origin Of
these national emblems, as follows:
TIE ROSE OF ENGLAND.

In the early part of the reigI of Henry
vi, about the year l450, few noblemen
and gentlemen were discussing who was the
rightful heir to the English crown. After a
time they adjourned 10 the Temple Gardens,
thinking they would be more free from ino
terrupiion. Scarcely, however, had they en-
tered when they perceived Richard Plan>
lagenet approaching. Unwilling to continue
tbe conversation, in his presence, great
silence 6nsadds He, however, asked them
what they had been 20 anxiously talking
about when be joined them, and whether
they espoused the cause Of his party or that
Of the usurper, Henry Lancaster, who had
flled the throne. A false and absurd DO
liteness preventing their making any reply,
he added:
"Sinee you are so reluctant to tell your
opinion BY words, tell me BY signs, and let
him that is an adherent of the House Of York
pull a white rose, as do"
Then said the Earl Of Somerset:
Let him who hates Aattery, and dares to
maintain our rightful king in the presence Of
his enemies, pull red rose with me-"
When Henry VII. married Elizabeth of
York, the rival houses we're blended, and the
rose became the emblem of England.
THIsTLEs OF SCOTLAND.
In the reign of Malcolm l., in the year
1910, Scotland was invaded by the Danes,
who made descent on Alberdeenshire, in>
tending to take by storm Staines Castle,
fortress of importance. The still hour Of
midnight was selected as the time for COM
mencing the attack. When all was ready,
and there was a reasonable hope that the in
mates of the castle we're asleep, they com.
menced their march. They advanced eau
tiously, taking of their shoes to prevent their
footsteps being heard. They approached the
lofty tower, their hearts beating in joyous
anticipation of victory. Not sound is
heard within. They an scarcely refrain
from exclamations of delight, for they have
but to swim across the moat and place scaling
ladders, and the castle is theirs. But in
another moment cry from themselves rouses
the inmates to sense Of their danger, the
guards fly to their posts, and pursue the
now trembling Danes, who fed before them
Whence arose this sudden change of affairs
From very simple cause. 1t appears that
the moat, instead of being filed with water,
was in reality dried up aud overgrown with
thistles, which pierced the unprotected feet
of the assaiants, who, tortured with pain,
forgot their cautious silence and uttered the
cry which had alarmed the sleeping inmates
of the castle +,
