The Stockton Republicon wants to know
how the fourteen year old boy who fright
ened the stage driver out of Wells, Fargo
x Co. ; treasure box with fence picket
would do for fence advocate or an anti
railroad subsidy member of the Legislature
For the careless manner in which he removes
pckets from fences we should say he must
be no-tence boy. Considering the vast
amount of subsidy money the people of
Stockton and San Joaquin county have been
diddled out of by railroad sharps, We think
that people should get this boy for lecis-
lator,and instruct him to go after Stanford &,
Co. with fence picket.

STORMY. The weather which we felt here
but slightly has been playing havoc in the
valleys and on the coast. For the past
three or four days much damage has been
done in The bay of San Francisco, and other
harbors of the coast, to wharves, shipping
and small steam and sailing crafts. Exten-
sive damage has also been done to San
Francisco and smaller coast and valley towns
by the fierce gales, in the unroofng of build

QUARTZ, CRors AND Fnu1r.-A letter
from the foothills west of here says There
is quartz ledge here, two feet thick, that

that had no appliances TO save half Of the
gold, about S. per ton. Perhaps if opened
properly and closely worked it would be a
rich mine 1t can be had on favorable terms.
We have had rain enough to satisfy all de-
mands for the present, and all feel sure of
good crops who have their land properly
seeded. The weather is rather warm for the
time of year and there is danger Of losing
the fruit crop from late frosts. notice that
some fruit blossoms already begin to show
themselves, and should the present warm
weather continue for few weeks the fruit
trees will be in full bloom long before the
season for frosts is over.

defense the instant it was proved to me that 1

must be known, and if it is not, neither can nor

been more painful than to see that after such a
career as the Emperor's public opinion has been
so widely led astray as TO require-not political
or strategetc explanation, which | could have un-

OF the Emperor's personal conduct What eau
