An Immense Crane vine

The Santa Barbara (Oal) Press corrspOn.
dent says:
1 have seen the big grape vine. The
owner says it is fOrty-twO years old. The
trunk is nearly circular, and at ten inches
from the groud is 80 inches in circumference;
three feet from the ground, the smallest piece
it is thirty-six inches; and at five feet il
measures fOrty-six inches in circumference
Immediately above this measurement il
gets out much larger and parts into branches
it supported by framework six to seven
feet high, containing sixty.six posts from
three to eight inches In diameter, and covers
about 4 800 feet of ground. Several of the
limbs are nine feet in circumference; at thirty
feet from the trunk is seven and three -eighths
inches in circumference. 1t now has ovel
5000 clusters of grapes on it growing finely.
The owner, aud others familiar with it, tel
me that the clusters will average; when ripe
about two and halfplunds each; but call
then two pounds each, and it makes over
five tons Of fruit from one vine in one year
Several persons made estimatts on it last
year when the fruit was ripenipg, by coun-
ting the clusters on ten feet square, and
weighing some average clusters. These
estimates varied from four six tons This
is probably the largest grapevine in the
world

An exchange gives the following /:
Once upon a time gentleman found
in his hen-roost a simple-minded soul of
the vicinage, who lived without visible
means of support.
"What are you doing here, you
rascal? Stealing my chickens|
''No sir was the response; "I amt
tho't of doin' nuthin of the sort"
It unfortunately happened that the
simple minded individual wore a high
straw hat, of the dimensions of bee
hive, and the crown thereof was dilapida-
ted to a serious extent. Just as he put in
his denial, the head of half grown pull
let was seen to protrude from the aper-
ture!
See there, said the gentleman; 'hOw
did that chick get in your hat"
"WeIl, exclaimed the simple minded
individual, with an air of honest surprise
and embarrassment that is the strang
est thing that ever happened to me.

The little Princess Felicia, said to be the
smallest girl of her age on the continent, is
still the great sensation in Paris. On her
arrival 10 Paris she was Immediately taken
TO the Empress, who put her into her work
basket and carried her into the Emperor
room. The girl was placed on Napoleon S
writing table, on which she prOmenaded and
danced for a while, and closed the perform
ance, the great amusement of the Emperor,
by turning somersault. She is only seven
years old, and the physicians who have exa-
mined her predict that she yet grow about
eight or ten centimeters, when she will be
about two feet high.

A western Temperance Leo



Billy Ross, a temperance lecturer at
Rushvilie, Illinois, was preaching to the
young on his fsForite theme. He said:
SRow boys when ask you question
you mustn't be afraid to speak right out and
answer me. When you look around and see
all these fine houses, farms and cattle, do
you ever think who owned them all now?

"Yesl" shouted hundred voices
"Will, where viii your fathers be in twen TO

''Deadl" shouted the boys
"That's right. And who will own all this

"Us boys" shouted the urchins.
Right. Now tell me-did YOU ever in
going along the streets, notice the drunkards
lOunging around the saloon door, waiting for
somebody TO trert them2'
6 Y es sir, lots of theml'

"DeadP' exclaimed the boys.
"And who will be the drunkards then?''

On Saturday, comparative calm sue
oeeded the raging excitement of the pre-
vious day among the gold speculators in
New York. Early in the day, however,
Wall, William, Broad and New streets
were thronged with excited crowds, dis
cussing the events of Friday and adding
to the general feeling of distrust by re-
failing rumors of heavy failures. Such
firms as Vermilye & Co., Smith, Gould,
Martin & Co., Fisk & Belden, Belden g.
Go. are named in the list of failures, but
these reports must be received with eau
ton, as the truth is not known. It is
estimated that twenty or thirty small
firms have failed. In some OF the
brokers' quarters. the crowd was 81 great
that the police were called in to keep the
peace. A despatch says that it is not be-
lieved that gold will fuctuate 80 heavily
again for four or five weeks, if at all.

HOLD BACK Your CoTroN.-A gentle
ccan ;nst returned from New York, who
has had great experience as cotton
buyer, and has really done nothing else
sincethe war closed, informed the Macon
Telegraph that the planters of the South
were, now playing into the hands of
speculators most admirably, in rushing
their cotton on the market. Il was just
what the New York buyers and specula-
tors wanted. Three weeks ago cotton
was firm in New York at 35 cents per
pound, but just so soon as the planters
got ready to sell, the price Immediately
receded to 20 and 80 cents, with strong
effort on the part of the bears to still
further reduce it. This gentleman stated
that there was not n cotton buyer in New
York, of any Intelligence or reliability,
who does not believe that cotton will 60
to 35 or 40 cents per pound in that mar
ket by or before tho first of next May;
and they candidly and openly express
such all opinion among themselves; and
are laughing in their sleeves at the rush
the planters are now making upon the
market. Just 30 soon as the bulk of the
cotton crop is out of the hands Of plant
ers, and close guess can be made of
the years crop, then you will see q reac-
tion in the price that will astonish you.
This gentleman expressed real mortifica-
tlon and shame at the manner in which
the planters were blindly iniuring them
selves just now, and expressed the belief
that even before Christmas they would
rue their present suicidal policy.
