A CONFLICT WITH A WHEELBARROW


The following must have emanated from 8

a wheelbarrow (and who has not?) to cna-
BILE him to 50 graphically describe the sensa-
ton
If you have occasion to use a wheelbarrow,
leave 1t, when you are through with it, in
front vf the house with the handles towar /

piicsted thing to fall over, on the face of the
Garth. A man will fall over one when he
would never thing OF falling over anything
else. He never knows when he has got
through falling over it. either, for it will
tangle his legs and arms, turn over with
him and rear upin front of him, and. just as
he panses in his profanity to coz graduate
himself, it takes new turn ard scoops more
skin eff him, and he commences to evolute
anew, and bump himself on fresh places. A
man never ceases to fall over wheelbarrow
brings up against som ething It cannot upset.
1t is the most inoffensive looking object
there is, but il is more dangerous than loco
motive, and no man is secure with one un-
less he has tight hold OF its handles, and, is
sitting down on something. A wheelbarrow
has it's uses, without doubt, hut in its leis-
ure moments it is the great blghtiug curse
on true dignity.

ALFALFA LANDS.

A writer at Anaheim, says the Bakes.
field Courier, claims that their irrigated al
falfa lands yield twelve tons of hay to the
acre, and speaks of 900 sheep having been
kept Oh forty acres of alfalfa for one year.
We are very careful not to make any state
ment in reference to this wonderful grass
VIC are not able to support by the most pos
tive proof, because the unadorned truth
must appear very much like exaggeration
to people at distance, but we have the
best reason to suppose its capability there
are not greater than here. Besides we
have been frequently assured that snch is
the case BY former residents of that locali-
ty whom we have now amcng US. We
should think that the woolgrowers of Fres-
no county would give more attention to the
growing of this wonderfully productive and
nutritious grass.

pirate airs, the band, and all present, were
invited inside and served with refreshments

remarks on the occasion, AID although Mr.

BRoUGHr UP.-Sheriff Hull of Shasta
county came up from San Francisco yes
terday with "Shorty Hays" who was arrest
ed at the Bay city, as we mentioned recent
ly, on suspicion of being connected with the
stage robbery between Redding and Buck
eye few weeks ago. "Shorty" is for the
present an inmate of the Sacramento city
prison, but will probably leave for Shasta
to day. Connected with this case there
might be little story told of the lack OF
courtesy toward their brother officers of
Sacramento on part of the San Francisco
police, who were requested by Chief Karch
er to arrest "Shorty" nearly week before
he was taken in charge. Chief Crowley
expressed great desire to arrest the man
to accommodate Karcher, who wanted him
for the highway robbery of Rev. Mr.. Shell
ling of this city and also for the stage rob-
berry, but somehow he could net be found
until it was known to the San Franciscans
that be was wanted on account of the stage
robbery; then he was quickly gobbled up
and the agent of Wells, Fargo & Co., pre-
vailed upon to swear out warrant upon
which he might be held, so that the San
Francisco police could claim the full reward
for bis capture. The officers Of Sacramen-
to have always done the "fair thing" BY
the San Franciscaus, bnt reciprocity does
not appear to be in order. Sacramento

GENERAL GRANT AT CAIRO-A PER
SONAL REMINISCENCE.

We never met General Grant but once,
and then the passes between US we're I'M.
pleasant. He was commander OF the forces
established at Cairo, and we were the pub
Usher Of 'copperhead newspaper and the
correspondent Of the Chicago Times. De
string to head contemporary correspond
euts, and, possibly, to anticipate events q
little, we prepared dispatch for the Times
which read about as follows:
"Four thousand rebel troops have been
congregated at May6eld, KY. A desertel
with whom we recently conversed, infor ID
ed US that an immediate attack on Cairo is
contemplated. At least l,20O Of the troops
are armed with dungforks and dogwood
bludgeons. The whole force will wade the
Ohio at Grand Chain, sieze the battery at
Mound City. and lombard Cairo in the rear
Dispatches had to pass under military
surveillance, and we asked Gen. Grants
Endorsement. He looked us intently in
the eye:
"Young man, where did you obtain thai
information
Our reply was that we obtained it from
what we conceive to be reliable source
in fact from rebel deserter. His re;oind
er was emphatic, not to say sharp:
"I'm tired ofreading the stuff with which
you corresp ,nden,s propose to deluge the
newspapers. Your dose makes ue sick -
Never let see your face in headquarters:
again unless you specially desire to gather
you, army information within the confines
OF the guArd-bouse.

suggested Grants name in connection with
the Presidency, we Tough, the suggestion

and indignant individual.
