The "early judiciary of Kansas
transacted business on equity prin.
ciples. A good many of the justices
were like necessity-they knew no
law-but they generally did justice
about as well as our courts.
{ A case was tried in 1857, IN which
General Sherman, who then resided
on a farm in what was then Calhoun
county, was employed as an attor.
ney. The General came in with an
immense pile of law books, and his
precedents well selected. He ex-
pected to try the case before Squire
Gibbs, as a good lawyer should, and
had taken the case more for the
purpose of aiding a neighborin what
he had been made to believe was a
good case, and torelieve him from
injustice, than for any fee.
The jolly old justice came into
court and announced the case for
hearing. The general said the plain
tiff was ready. A long, lank, lean
looking genius, who stoppeda a string
of cattle and a log wagon in the
street, and stuck his whip with a
twelve-foot lash behind the door, ap-
peared for the defense. The testi-
mony was heard, and General Sher-
man, delivered his argument and
presented the law in the case in an
able manner, as a good lawyer would,
He read from the common law Of
England, and cited cases in the re-
ports of several Of the American
States.
The bull-whacker followed him.
and ridiculed his precedents and
secuted at the books. He SAID It
was an insult to the court to read
from ''the common law Of England"
and declared that if we are compelled
to take any of that aristocratic Brit
ish law" he wanted athe very best
Her Majesty had, and none Of her
common law" That was enough;
the Justices face was set, and the
general lost his case. It was the
last he ever tried in Kansas. He
left, and Kansas lost medium sort
of farmer-almost equal to Horace
Greeley-and the nation gained a
good and great general.-Kan. T7T6.

The City of New York-Deoline Of its
PrOsuerity

Prosperity.
The Tribune has q long article
headed sour Lost Population" in
which some alarming facts concern
ling the decline of prosperity in
France are stated. The main points
are as follows: eFrom 1840to 1850
the ratio of increase in the value OF
real estate was two hundred and
thirty per cent. and OF increase OF
population for the same period one
hundred and sixty per cent. From
1850 to 1850 the commerce nearly
doubled, the population increased
oyer fifty-seven per cent. and real
rose in value over one hundred per
lcent. From 1860 to 1870 commerce
declined, and the loss was at once
shown by the decrease in the ratio oil
the growth in population from 81
81 in the decade ending in 1850 to
13 3 per cent, in the decade ending
in 1870, while the ratio of advance
I in the price ofreal estate depreciat-
ed from 101 to 28 5 per cent. The
writer then observes that the actual
value of real estate may be
measured by the increase of popula-
ton, and attributes the recent COM
Iparatiye stagnatlon in the real estate
market to the decrease in the ratio
of growth in population To illus
trate his meaning he Institutes a
comparison between Boston and New
York, by which it appears that al
though the real estate OF Boston is
less than half of that of New York
the increase pays all the city taxes,
with a surplus of $4,000, while the
increase of New York leaves a sur
plus of only $3,000,500. The TY5-
bltne then demonstrates that if the
ratio of growth had continued, as it
Ought to have done, until the present
the city would have contained in
1870 a population Of l,334,O73-
or 32O,4O5 more than it is to day.
On the contrary, the number of the
population added during the last de
cade was only 1O8,862. The value
of real estate would also have doub-
led.
The "lost population" says the
Tribune, 'would have required
places of business and locations for
their homes within the city limits.
These could only have been found
on the vacant lots on the upper part
of the island. In 1865 there were
45, $50 vacant lots below One Hun
dred and Fifty-ffth street, and at the
same time 1854 dwelling houses in
the city, with a fraction over, four
teen and a halfpersons to each house.
Estimating fifteen persons to each
house, 27,436 lots would be required
for dwellings, and 1878 for bust
ness-a total of 44,154, This would
leave but 4,5O1 vacant lots below
One Hundred Fifty-ffth street for
the population which the city has
actually gained in the last decade
while in fact 1905 are required fol-
dwelling houses alone. Thus the
fact is established that if there ha6
been no decline in the city's growth
there would not have remained 8
single vacant lot on the island o
i. Manhattan. This fact admitted
will not require fprther evidence tt
prove that the value of real proper
| ty would have been doubled" AT
ter this unfavorable exhibit the Irj
5une calls upon the citizens to unite
in an effort to regain, by all requisite
means, its lost commerce and pOpu-
lation.

BER11N. November 1s, "a.

BERLIN, November IS, II.
On the left bank of the river SaaIe
in one of the most attractive valleys
of the Thuringen Forest, is Rudolf
stadt, town of 5000 inhabitants,
and the peaceful residence of the
Prince of Schwarzburg Rudolstadt.
Quiet, secluded, and uninjured by
the many vices which progress in
its many forms generally brings to
o place so blessed as this is, the
traveller fingers longer than he wish
es and leaves the dear little primitive
city only with regret. Although
beautiful and peacefulis the location
Of Rudolstadt, and blooming is its
condition and surroundings now,
very cad and numerous were its
former misfortunes caused by wars,
fires, pestilence, and inundations
from its very origen, in the efforts of
Duke Rudolph Of Thuringen, in or
about the year 634, until the present
time. At that early date Rudolph
built q mountain castle, whose pro
lection from the depredations of the
Sorbes admitted of the first settle
ments being made. The name
Rudolph (Rudol) Stadt dates from
the year 800. In LAO the place
belonged to the mighty Earls oi
Orlamuende. Then it fell by mar.
riage to Henry XIV of Schwarzhurg
At this time it was surrounded by
walls with gates, and about 1921
possessed City Church (which re
paired and improved stands and il
used to this day., and an upper
and lower castle with garrisons. By
the upper castle stood the chapel o
the holy Gregorius and the marke
place the Elizabeh Chapel. In this
| IThuringen war in 1345 it was cap
tured, plundered and burned by
Frederick the Earnest; but it wa
soon rebuilt and could boast,as early
as 14O4, ofa new Court House witt
it's appropriate Offices. This old ed
lifce is remarkable for its many in
struments of punishment of forme
times, which are readily shown t.

bar-room in which Luther, while

Brief History of California

The -aay,ssg date ia the modern history of California ia tbe year l542, when Cabriio, Spanish explorer, first discovered ana ianded uDop the shore of what Is now called Caiiior- niia. He named it Cape Mendocino after Men, doza. then Viceroy of Mexico Tbisty-seyen wears later, in l519, the English navigator, Sir Francis Drake, then Captain Drake, dis covered and landed upon the coast at or near the bay still ealled by kss name
 In 1896, Viscaino, Spaniard, landed at La Paz. in Lower California. In 1902 he made another voyage. in which he entered the har- Dor of San Diego, and afterward landed at Monterey.
 The first Mission in California was founded by the Spanasrcts, at San Dego, in E6S-
 The Bay of San Francisco was discovered in July, l769, by Father Junipero Serro, but good authorities claim that the discovery was made by Don Gaspar de Portala, at the head of small expedition marching north from San Diego The first ship entered the Golden Gate in June, l775. The Preside or garrison, in what is now San Francisco, was established September 17, l57G The Mis- sion of San Francisco de Assissex was iound- ed October 2, l776, the year of American ln- dependence.
 During the Mexican war California was occupied by United States forces. Its navy and military Governors were, in order: Com modore Sloat, Commodore Stoctoni John U.

Manner of Planting and Cost of Gather.
 ing Grapes in California.

The Fathers planted their vines all the way from eight to sixteen feet apart in the square, and there has been much controversey among viniculturists as to the proper distance for planting. In this, as in other things, one general rule cannot be laid down. The per son planting should not bc governed by hobby of distances but should be guided by the nature of the soil, and hy the character of the species of vine planted As general rule, vines planted in rich soil run to wood, and should he planted far apart in lighter soils they should he planted closer together. The old method was to plant in squares but the more recent plantations have been made in rows, which manner is the more rational and presents, among many other advantages, that of allowing the plantation of greater number of vines to the acre, without discard ing the use of the blow. The usual distance between the vines, in vineyards thus set ont, is four feet one way and six feet the other It has been found that a greater number of vines to the acre, within reasonable limits, produce more than less number. The old plantations contained generally 6S0 vines per acre, while the new ones contain 1000 and 1890 vines to the same space. The follow ing are the average yields for the whole State. in these different modes of planting, when the vines are seven years old:
 eo vines per 10 lbs per vine 6ooo fs grapes ien vines rer rs per vine tpo IDS grap~s lso vines ger acre lbs per vine so,o rs grape.
 It IS now conceded, in those localities where the experiments were made with these different modes of growing the vines. that the ten pounds of grapes produced by two vines are superior in every respect to the ten pounds produced by single vine on the same amount of space. The pruning of the vine, costs about S4 per thousand; the hoeing and suckering, when properly done, about a, mach more; so that the expense. on greater number of vines per acre, would in crease somewhat the cost of cultivation. hu this would be more than made good hy tn increased quantity of grapes.
