AGR1cUITrRE IN PLACER.-Asde from the ad-
mirable farming district in the Western part of
this county, it is gratifying to notice that in the
last few years thousands of acres of the foothills
have been redused to remunerative cultivation.
From the time you begin to ascend the rolling
hills at the Western base of the Sieras, for some
miles toward the summit orchards, vineyards,
gardens and hay-felds, all in thriving condition,
now greet the eye on all sides. few years ago
the vine and fruit culture, in the mountains, was
comparatively an experiment. The experiment
proved a success to such an extent as to leave no
doubt but what the foothills of the Sierra Nevada
mountains, on the Western slope, are we'll
adapted to the cultivation of vines and fruit trees
rs are the hills and valleys of the far famed Italy
or Southern France. This year the yield of ber-
res, cherries, vegetables S, and indeed all kinds of
fruit in Placer county has been immense, and a
ready and profitable market has been found for
all her products in this line; indeed, the demand
especially for early fruits, has rather exceeded
the supply. The grape crop, which Is just now
being gathered and manufactured into wine or
shipped below, is also abundant, and in quality
is probably not surpassed In the world The
fact that the foothills in this cou ty are well
adapted to cultivation, and that all who have at
tempted to cultivate them have had their labors
literally remunerated by eager demands al fail
profits for their products, is an i-lducement Of
fered by few countries and by few sections OF
this eeurtry for families to come and build up fol
themselves good homes and settle in business
that viii, by ordinary industry, secure for them
comfortable and an Independent living. There
are yet thousands Of acres of land in this county
capable Of being brought u nder cultivation and
made to yield tribute to labor. SO we remember
but few years ago there were thousands on
thousands of acres of good land in the valleys
lying open for whoever chese to accept it, whe ro
now there is not an acre to be had except by pay
ing very large price. The mountains are sci
dom effected by drouth, and never by floods dam
aging to agriculture The climate is more gen
iel than in the valleys, and the bilious affections
so prevalent there are here seldom known Crops
in the valleys often fail from various causes
here they are as sure as the seasons and in our
opinion it will be but short time before the
mountains will become the most reliable portion
of the State for the production of all the staple
cereals.

Page and the Railroad at Auburn.

Full-sheet posters had announced the fact for
| some ten days that Page would speak here on
Tuesday night. The time came and Page came,
the Sacramento Japanese landlord came, and
Stanford d Co. sent a n excursion train up from
Sacramento city to swell the crowd When the
train arriv ed, thirteen small boys marched out
to meet the crowd, commanded by Captain Rack
lift, II. G. Megerle acting as color-sergeant The
meeting was an utter failure, as the hoodlums
refused to listen, and our people generally staid
at home. Pages speech was the only thing of
interest and it left no doubt on the minds of any
as to his being all that Stanford & Co. desire
He said, substantially, that he was opposed to
granting National subsidies to corporations, be-
cause they ,cere no longer needed. This will suit
Stanford, rs he wants no competing roads. But
if necessity requires Stanford to lay a double
track, and he wants more subsidy, Page, under
lis doctrine of necessity, is free to go for it. He
plainly declared for giving Goat Island to Stan
ford & Co. Thus Mr.. Page stands pledged to
vote and work for giving to this Stanford mo-
nopoly one of the best and necessary defensive
points in the country, worth S20,000.0 600, Goat
Island. This is the most monstrous proposition
that could be made, and actually amounts to
treason to the country, and should cause every
| true man in the district to vote against him and
| for Coggins. What he said about the taxes
value of property and the benefit of the railroad
to this county was untruthful in fact and conclu-
sion as might be expected of man like Mr.
Page, who knows really nothing of what he was
talking about In 1868, before foot of road
had been built in the county had property been
assessed under the same rule this year, il
would have exceeded the value this year, even
adding the railroad, at the figures the company
swore it was worth. Page should have stated
| that it was our own Supervisors that added some
| 50 900 600 to our assessment list this year
against the bitterest fight that Stanford and his
| lawyers could make; and that if we ever ge
these taxes it will be at the end of the law He
might have also stated that the monopoly has
| not paid its taxes for 1868, instead of putting
and pleading for this heartless ann grinding cor
poraton. But why follow him further? H,
convinced everybody that heard him that he was
the mere pleading apologtst of the r. r. com
pany, and that he would answer all their pur
poses in Congress. If elected, II. F, Page vii

The Curious Manner in which a Young
Irish Woman Obtained a Husband.
TFrom the Portland (Oregonl Bulletin.
There were married in this city, last eve
ming, q couple whose love making and mar
rage furnish us q theme. During the spring
of last year there appeared upon the rail-
road fair-haired, smOOth-taced, muscular
fellow, with a rich Irish brOgue, who APP
piled for work, expressing himself as WILL
ing to do anything He bad ian Ould father
and mother in the Ould country that he
wanted to help to America, and was will
ing to work hard for good wages. lie
was given a pick and shovel, and told to
pitch in, which he did with will. Al
though he was a little awkward at first, he
soon mastered the science of handling the
shovel, and came to be regarded as one Of
the best men of the work. He had a pleasant
voice, told good story, and made many
friends among the other wOrkmen, who re-
parded him with especial favor. After
while Mr.. Hablet, the contractor, had his
attention called TO the new hand, and find
ing him to be quick at learning, gave him
command of a gang Of men, and soon found
that his confidence was not misplaced. In
the same camp was another foreman, who
was as 1.-the and active young fellow as
can be found in any part OF the country.
Between the two warm friendship sprang
up, and when rot at work they were always
tOgetl err
The summer passed away, and the win
ter months, with their rain, came, and
when work got slack and men began to
drop off and come into the city, Mike pro-
posed to Jimmy to 60 to Portland, take a
room and live until spring. The PROPOSE
ton, however, was rejected by Jimmy, who
declared that he did not want to come to
the cityc So the two remained at Eugene
for several weeks, awaiting for the recon-
mencement of the work.
Somehow or other during the winter,
Mike made discOveIy-and that was that
Jimmy, instead of being a man, was a
woman. An explanation was made, and
Mixes feelings soon underwent a change,
and he found that Cupid had pierced his
heart. He proposed to Jimmy to come to
the city where she would receive her proper
habiliments, and then they would form
cOpartnership for life, and in proper time
return to work ON the road as sub-coA-
tractors. The proposition was agreed to,
and last night saw Mike and Jimmy made
man and wife. They have purchased a
tent and gone down to COwlitz river for
the purpose of assisting in the building of
the Northern Pacific railroad from Humph-
rey's to Olympia. During the coming sum
mer Jimmy will preside over the culinary
department unless Mike should get sick,
when she declares she will go out and boss

Ships, like men, are often spoken of as
lucky and unlucky. Probably some slight
accident at launching, or when fitting out
for first voyage, is noted by some old
salt, who shakes his head OminOusly and
half whispers to some sbipmate: ''I'd think
twice before I'd sail once in that craft just
such a thing happened when the BlaZes
was launched, and a year after, when the
captain threw a black cat overheard, she
was taken all aback, and went down stern

were saved to tell the story But there
are also lucky vessels, which make quick
voyages dodge storms, and ALWAYS pay
handsome profit Among these we call at

was built at East Boston by the Brothers
Sampson, IN IS49, and has been uniformly
successful in all her voyages. During the
rebellion she was frequently within twenty
miles OF the British pirates, and has passed
them IN tOgs, when others less lucky were
captured and burned. She is $50 tons reg

remarkable as many others. She sailed
hence December q, and arrived at New

voyage IN eighty-One days, including the
Tune IN port at Pernambuco. and this, too,
curing winter of tremendous gales.
shortly after leaving Pernambuco two of
her crew died Of yellow fever, and all
hands, including the captain, were sickly.
yet, shOrt-handed as she was, she managed
to dodge the fierce nOr'westers which kept
others backS and reached New York in
safety. Her commander, Captain Kar-
stems, says that when he reached the coast
he reefed her courses and tOpsails (she has
not double tOpsails), sent her royal yards
down, and did not dare, even when the
weather was moderate, to make sail, lest
he should be unable to take it in, owing TO
the sickly condition of the men. Her pass

He experienced several hard gales on the
coast, but his vessel held her own like a
