Cheap Railroad Fares.

At the last session of the Massachusetts,
Legislature an act was passed whereby
every railroad in the State should be com
PEELED to furnish morning and an evening
train at proper hours, for distances not ex-.
ceeding fifteen miles, and for such trains
they shall furnish yearly season tickets at
rate not exceeding So per mile per year,
good once day each day for six days in a
week, and quarterly tickets not exceeding
% per mile per quarter; provided, that the
number of persons making application shall
not be less than 200. The object of this was
to enable mechanics and persons of limited
means to escape from the alleys and
crowded streets of Boston, and build up
the suburbs. Plenty of room would thus
be secured, and the result, it was believed,
would be very favorable to the interests of
morality as well as to the comfort Of the
working class
The idea which led to this move is de-
rived from the success of a similar plan in
London. As early as 1862 the three princi-
pal railways consented to convey not less
than 1000 passengers from any place within
ten miles of London and back for two pence
Tor about four cents) day, and since 1864
all the new railways constructed at that
point have been obliged to do the same
thing. The result has been very beneficial,
both to the roads themselves, the suburbs.
and the poorer classes. Rents in London
itself, which would otherwise have risen to
fabulous height, have been checked, and
the example set by the English roads is in
every respect worthy of imitation.

Ornnres ana L.emons il CnIifornin.

The orange and lemon are, and will, prob
ably, continue to be, the more profitable or
chard trees in Southern California. Sixty
trees are planted to the acre. They come
into bearing slowly, but at ten years from
the seed, or eight years from planting out
the nursery trees, the lemon viii bring 600
and the orange 1000 to the tree; and have
gle tree at fifteen years of age. Now lem
Ons sell in San Francisco at $50 and oranges
at from SIS to S35 per 1000; and from the
tenth year of q trees age, with good Gull
ture, irrigation and fit climate-that is to
say, almost anywhere in California south of
Stoekton-these trees are found, in practice,
to yield, at the very least $40 clear profit
per tree, or 5000 per acre. This is very
low statement-far below the present ac-
tual yield of orange orchards in Los Angeles
and San BernardinO. l know an orange or
ehard of nine acres near Los Angeles which
has brought its owner $4,000 per annum,
lelear profit, for several years past. One
hans labor sufices to keep in perfect order
| twenty acres of any of these fruits. But it
| should not be forgotten that all these trees
areA the better for irrigation. They grow
netter and faster, and bear more regularly
ana neely; and the orange and lemon par
tleulafly will, am persuaded, bear but
| poorly without water, though some people
deny tbs. The most slillful Orchardists in
| South California now irrigate once In six
weeks, and, Of course, pIow after every irri-
! CATION. Ihave no doubt that the frequent
| blowing is 4 great help to the trees. There
are people n California who imagine and
assert that the ground ought not to be
/ plOwed or otherwise disturbed In rheir State
/ during the dry season; but such men do not
succeed in farming there or elsewhere

MISS NELLIE GRANT.


Correspondence With Queen Victoria.
The San francisco Chronicle has received
through private sources a letter written by
Miss Nellie Grant to Queen Victoria, pre-
vious to her recent visit to Windsor Palace.
Its charming simplicity and thorough good
sense, if it be authentic, put beyond ques-
ton all doubt as to the nature Of the visit
and the feeling which prompted it, 1t
reads as follows:
LANGLEY's HOTEL, May, 1872.
MY DEAR LADY AND QUEEN am en-
barrassed at the honor of an official re-
quest, given through high officer (your
Lord hamberlain, | think, to be present
ed to your majesty. l should dearly love
to see you, that / might tell my mother and
father that / had been thus honOred. / am
but q simple American girl; that l am the
Presidents daughter gives me no claim to
your recognition as a sovereign. If, with
the kind lady who is acting as my ehaperon,
/ might visit you, should be very glad.
Our Secretary of Legation hints at some
political significance in this opportunity. /
can not so interpret it, and would not wish
to be so received, because it would not be
right, as / am nothing in American politics.,
and am sure my father would not desire
me to appear other than as my simple and
very humble self. If, with this explana-
ton, your Majesty will allow me to visit
you shall be greatly hOnored and be very
proud.
1 have written this note of my own mo-
tiOn and because think it the right thing
to do. / am your Majesty's very obedient
servant and admirer,
NELLIE GRANT.
The reply is equally refreshing, and be-
trays a spirit which does more honor to the
British Queen than multitudes of other ac-
tiOns for which her subjects have loudly
applauded her:
WINDSOR CASTLE.
Miss NELLIE. GRANT, have instructed
Lady - to convey TO you this note, and
we shall receive you as the daughter ofyour
honored parents without the Intervention of
our high officers of State. I shall accept
your visit as an american girl" and there
shall be no other significance in the fact than
your friendly expressed desire to see the lady
and not the sovereign. / shall find it pleas
ant to forget that am Queen in receiving
you tomorrow afternoon at our palace of
Windsor VICTORIA

Moral of Strikes.

The New York Tribune thus concludes an
article on the moral of the labor strikes:
We have always held that cooperation is
the true preventive of strikes. No man will
strike against himself or against his own
interest, When man is once his own en-
ployer the wages and the hours of work be-
come lost in consideration of the profits of
the manufacture 1t seems strange that so
simple and true a solution of so complex
and vexatiOus a problem should be lost
upon those who insist on the antagonis1n of
capital and labor which under the system
of cooperation can not conflict. 1t is prob
ably to be accounted for only by the fact
that there are very few human beings who
are really fitted to be masters. 1t is clear
enough to those who have the patience to
save and the discretion to invest, and the
industry to combine savings and labor; for
only those who aspire to be something
more than employees ever succeed at CO
operation. The greater multitude waste,
and the chief source of the waste is in such
wars as that of which the present strike is
a fair illustration. The immense sums
spent and lost in this strike would have set
afOot scores of cooperative schemes in
each trade, which, with little discretion
and experience, and ordinary industry,
could have beer made successful. This is
a moral of the strike which ought not to be
lost on the strikers. Yet we fear, though
we draw it, that it will be.

Mr.. Henry George has lately resumed the
control of the San Francisco Erenilq Post,
the quickest and most promising venture
we have lately seen in the way of penny
paper; It already has a large circulation,
and fairly expresses the popular voice in
California by being an Outspoken advocate
OF the Cincinnati ticket. One of its late
numbers has this poser in answer to the
complaints made by unsuccessful editors in
New York concerning Mr.. Greeley's lack of
business capacity: Greeley" we hear from
the Republican organs, and from the Dem
oeratlc newspapers which are now assisting
them, sis a good old man, but 30 variable

morning what he will believe at night; so
good natured that he is the confding tool
OF every schemer who gets access TO him;
80 vain that he will swallow any hook
which is baited with little fiattery; and Of
such childlike honesty himself that it Is
utterly impossible for him to tell an honest
man from knave; in short, they paint the
editor of the greatest newspaper in the
United States as q benevolent old idiot.
The answer to all this is Greeley himself
When poor boy, starting without any Of
the advantages of education, family, friends

dress, works himself up to the position

Colonel Faulkner. of Ripley, Mississippi,
said IN the late Narrow gauge st. Louis
convention, that he lived some twenty-five
miles from railroad to which he wished
access. He made estimates for broad
gauge and found it would cost twenty-six
thousand dollars per mile. A pamphlet
written by Colonel Hulburt, of Georgia,
fell into his hands. Its subject was narrow
gauge. He said that he was never more
elated by facts recited. He obtained a
charter for the Middleton and Ripley road.
