A California Romance,

The old government buildings on
Washington street, San Francisco, are
making way for the appraisers stores,
and with them will disappear the moldy
book venders, the candy merchants, and
those traders who have so long made
this their rendezvous. There is little
story in connection with these buildings
which the writer learned from gentle
man who knew the parties concerned.
Like many of the incidents which occur
daily in this country of change and ex-
element, it has strong spice of ro-
nance, and would not furnish a bad
plot for the writer's in the sensational
weeklies.
Every day for Ave years, no matter
how heavily the winter rain came down,
or the gusty summer wind swept from
the hill-tops, an old man took up his
position near the post-office, and sat
until dusk behind his tray of assorted
candies. Children on their way to mail
or demand letters patronized the old
candy merchant. He appeared to shun
acquaintanceships with his professional
brethren, and no matter what novelties
they introduced in their business, he
kept aloof from competition, and ad-
hered strictly to the legitimate sweet
stuffs.
Among his customers came one day a
bright-eyed, neatly-dressed urchin, who
put down his five cents, and boldly de-
manded its equivalent in molasses can
dy. While the old fellow wrapped it
up in a scanty piece of brown paper, he
looked wistfully into the urchin's eyes.
The Toy took his candy anl went off
with his mouth full. The next day the
little chap turned up again, and again
purchased his five cents worth of candy.
One morning the candy merchant, while
wrapping up his young customers pur-
chase, asked the name of his patron.
The little fellow gave it.
The candy man Immediately removed
his tray to the care of fellow merchant
and told the boy that he would accom-
pany him to his mothers house. The
boy conducted him to- q pleasant resi-
dence on Bryant street. His mother
opened the door, and the very moment
her eyes fell on the candy merchant,
she threw her arms around him, and
sobbing violently, callen him father"
It appears that at one time the candy
man was a well-to-do merchant in Port
land, Maine. His eldest daughter
eloped with gambler, man who had
a very hard reputation in that town.
On coming to California, he gave Up his
regular encounters with the "tiger."
and devoted himself to specuiating in
mining stocks.
He was fortunate. grew wealthy,
bought real estate, and won the name
of being an honorable and generous
man. His wife wrote back to Portland,
but her letters were returned, for her
father had failed in business, her moth
er was dead, and the other members of
the family settled in New York. The
old man then went to California, not
knowing of his daughters whereabouts,
and, after many unsuccessful efforts,
finally went into selling candy. Some
thing in the little boys face reminded
him of his daughter, and when he heard
the name he remembered the handsome
gambler against whom he had so often
warned his child. The reunion was q
very happy one, and the candy profes-
sion has lost one of its members.

The Shah's Advice.

The Shah has clear views as to per-
sons likely to endanger thrones. He
therefore thought he was doing the
kindly and correct thing when he told
the Prince of Wales, as one potentate
might tell another, that the undoubtedly
proper maneuvre for him to perform on
the Duke of Sutherland was at once to
kill him, for the obvious reason that a
subject so rich and powerful as the
Duke could not exist without endanger-
ing the throne. Cor" said the Shah,
eff you cannot cut his throat, at least
you can put out his eyes," And when
told that this, if not improper, would
still be regarded as discourteous, he
settled into the conviction that there
could be little security for dynasty
which possessed so little authority over
its subjects.

Stacking Hay

There are serious disadvantages con-
nected with stacking hay and grain that
deserves consideration. The labor that
will put four loads of hay into a stack
will put five into a fairly constructed
barn showers are very apt to pounce
down upon partly-fnished stack, ne
cessitating the building of temporary
top, which has to be pitched off, dried,
and restacked in the shape of damaged
hay. Many load can be drawn into a
barn before shower that would be wet
before it could be stacked, and the
outer portion of a stack, however care
fully constructed, will always be injured
to some extent. 1t is not probable that
the art of stacking is carried to its
highest perfection by the average far
mer, but should it be, the disadvan-
tages 1 have named would exist
enough, l think, to make barns econom-
icai.

A schoolboy being requested to write
a composition upon the subject of
" Pins" produced the following: Pins

The Franklin On. H. Journal tells a
story of haying by night in Canterbury.
Alarm there was unfairly obtained from
a dying man, in fraud of thewidow and
orphan, and the pretended purchaser,
who resides in Manchester, recently
came up to cut the hay thereon. He
got his moving machine ready for use
the next molning, and retired. That
night about twenty men and women
turned out and did up the haying by
moonlight, and the next morning when
the Manchester man appeared, he found
his grass had disappeared.

VIZ received call from Mr.. F. A,
Jennings, who is special agent Of the
Minnesota Linseed Oil Company, Of
Minneapolis, on Tuesday last. Mr.. J..
came down to Austin with the view of
facilitating the disbursement Of fax seed
among the farmers, also to try and pre-
vail upon them to increase the number
Of acres sown. He also proposes to
arrange in satisfactory way for places
where the farmers can deliver the fax
seed when tareshed. They may feel
assured that he will make it his special
object to satisfy them, and when they
have business to transact with the Min-
ncsota Linseed Oil Co., Of Minneapolis,
that they will be treated in a fair and
honorable manner. Our idea is that
this will be a good season for fax cul-
turc, although, it IS true, it does not
look very encouraging at present, it will
not do to be discouraged We have
seen seasons that did not look any more
favorable than this, turn out fair and
pleasant, ard the farmers receive rich
returns for their labor, not only in fax,
but in their crops generally. Mr.. Jen-
nings may be found at the Mansfield
House or at tho warnhouse s,nth If
