BARBARIAN REDTvIvus.-In the early
history of modern inventions, it is com-
mon to read of the destruction Of inn
proved machinery by operatives too
ignorant to understand its value TO all
classes of the community; but there
has been very little of this for very
many years past. There has been,
however, slight revival ofthe practice
in California, as we learn from the Mn
inc and Scientific PreSs:-Some time ago
a resident of Mission, San Jose, invent
ed a harvesting machine especially
adapted to the requirements Of the
grain. gathering in the State, and iAt
last succeeded in placing three of them
in actual operation. These machines
served the triple function of cutting,
thrashing and sacking the grain, and,
it is stated, held their own in oompeti-
ton with the best machines hitherto in
use for separately performing these op.
erations-the new apparatus harvesting
no less than sixteen acres per day. ITl-
stead of rejoicing, as they should h1ve
done at this progress in agriculture
the farm 'hands'' in the vicinity COM
bined against it, as interfering with the
demand for labor and after many
threats managed to set FIRE TO one ofths
machines, which was totally destroyed
thereby This is an index Of very
bad feeling on the part of the iaborsrs
OF that region; and it reads like an
item taken from the record of hundred
and fifty years ago. We hope that
some soon-forthcoming number Of onr
Pacific Coast cotemparary may chroni-
Gle the detection and punishment ofths
scamps who committed the outrage.

Thelate Rev. DR.. Wightman, of Ri
arkmaboe, was a simple minded young
clergyman of the old school. When
young man, he paid his addresses to a
lady in the parish, and his suit was ac-
Cepted on the condition that it met the
approval of the lady's mother. Ac-
cordingly, the Doctor waited upon the
matron; and, stating his case, the good
woman, delighted at the proposal, pass.

and the social intercourse of the parties

About forty years after, DR.. Wightmar

BY JOHN @. SAKE.
I know n girl with teeth Of pearl,
And shoulders white as snow;
She lives, ah well,
/ must not tell
Woul ldn't you like to k now7
Her sunny hair is wondr Gus fair,
And wayy In its flow;
Who made it less
One little tress--
Wouldn't you like to know 2
Her eyes are blue, Celestial hue
And dazzling in their glow;
On whom they beam
With melting gleam-
Wouldn't you like to know7
Her lips are re and finely wed,
Like roses ere they blow
What lover sips
Those dewy lips
Wouldn't you like to know2
Her fingers are like lilies fair,
When lilies fairest grow
Whose hand they press
With fond caress-
Wouldn't you like to know?
Her foot is small and ha o fall ...
Like snow fakes on the snow;
But where 1t goes
Beneath the rose
Wouldn't you like to know?
She has name, the sweetest name
That Ia nguage can bestOw;
'TwOuld break the spell
If should tell
Wouldn't you like to know2
