and Jupiter probably did furnish the
wrong barrel.

1t will be fitted and furnished on the
same plan as the San Francisco lead

]. w. Harris, of San Demus caiIon,
has raised some beautiful cotton from
stock three years of age. The sam
pies exhibited are very fine, and con-
sists of three bOlles at least seven inches
in circumference. The cotton was rails
ed in Mr.. Harris garden, and has borne
every year abundantly, thus setting at
rest all doubts as to to the feasibility
of cotton raising in California. There
is no doubt that it will flourish five or
six years yet without replanting.
Madame Bishop took with her toSan
Diego yesterday, some beautiful bOu-
quets of flowers from the gardens of our
citizens. She was more than usually
careful to take large floral supply, as
she heard that no flowers will grow
down there. She was however re-as-
sured on leaving that they import suf-
ficient vegetables every steamer for
home consumption. Let San Diego
build a big city and los Angeles will
feed her.
