who first brought the Angora goat to
this coast in 1861, and who has ever
since stood by the beautiful animal,
through evil as we'll as good report.
He and his partner are believed to now
own, at their home ranch in santa Cruz
county, the finest flock of pure-breed
Angoras in America. Associated with
Mr.. Landrum in the Guadalupe Com
pany, which also is ajOint stock asso-

State, with capital of half a million
dollars, is Col. George w. Dent, we'll

bucks-the company has purchased
100 choice Angora bucks and over l 200
fine fleece-bearing ewes, from seven
Fights Angora blood to pure breed.
The noble race is to be used in amelio-
rating the plebian stock, and the COM
pany count on from 1000 to 10000
grade kids the coming year as the re-
suit Of the skillful coupling of the two
races. The offspring of the second
cross is q fieece-bearing goat, produc-

brings 81 to 81 rs per pound, and the

anqora Goats and Sheep In California.

The New York Times of the oath of
January has letter from a correspon-
dent in this State, from which we ex-
tract an interesting account of some OF
the great sheep and goat ranches of
California. The writer begins with:
THE SANTA CRUZ COMPANY.
The Santa Cruz Island Company
was organized in 1859, having been in
corporated under State authority, with
half million dollars capital, for car
rying on the business OF sheep-hus--
bandry, stock-raising, etc. The Island
of Santa Cruz, one of the santa Bar
bara group, was purchased by the
company as a field of operations. This
island, which has superficial area OF
52,7OO4 acres, as per patent, was orig
inally granted to o Spaniard, Andres
Castillero, by Alvarado, Governor OF
the Californians, May %, 1889, and the
grant was subsequently confirmed by
the Board of United States Land Com
missioners, and by the District Court
of the Southern District of California;;
the patent hearing the date March q,
1857. In 1857 it was bought from Cas-
tillero by an American, VIM. e. Bar
ron, by whom it was held as private
property, used for sheep-raising, until
it was bought by
THE SANTA CRUZ COMPANY.
The officers of this Company are all
naturalized citizens, including two
Germans, two Spaniards, and one
Frenchman. The buildings and i'm
provements of all sorts located on five
different points of the island, are val
ued at from $4,000 to $4,000, exclu-
sive of steam tallow works erected two
wears ago at the expense of about So
600. The wharf at Prisoners Harbor,
recently restored, has cost the compa-
nv no less than $4,000. The fences
all over the island represent a prime
cost, since the purchase by the present
owners, of about $4,000. The schooner
and surf boats have cost not less than
$4,000; and the stock Of wagons, sad
dies, agricultural implements, etc.,
may be valued at about $500. There
are now running at liberty over the
island fiocks of Spanish Merino sheep,
numbering between 10000 and $4,000
head, worth, according to the season
without wool on-from So to So So
each, and representing an aggregate
value of Sl5OOO0. Besides these
IMMENSE TLOCKs
There is stud of about 125 saddle and
draft horses and mules, some breeding
mares with colts, and a fine stallion of
the Morgan stock, representing value
of $4,000 or $4,000; about thirty head
bull, milch cows, and their increase
for the use of the island. valued alto.
.gether at about ST 200 or $l,5OO; ana
finally, perhaps, $50 head of cattle run
ming wild in the valleys and over the
mountains, and affording, whenever
desired, an extra supply Of fresh beef
for the use of the permanent residents
on the island. -,

CALL Me 9GEoRGE.-The double
lives men live in their relations with
women, the irresponsible and unscru-
pulous dealings they indulge in pri-
vately, are we'll illustrated in the fol-
lowing incident:
Hon. George Bancroft was prone
nading one evening on the veranda of
the Ocean House at Newport, with
gay. New York belle, not out of her
teens. In course of conversation she
addressed her companion rs "Mr. Ban
croft" "Now, really, my dear Miss
c." said the ancient man, ''you
must not call me that-caU me
George"' A few moments afterwards
they returned to the drawing-room
and mingled with the throng, when,
to the amazement and horror of our
venerable historian, the mischieyOus
girl exclaimed loud enough for the
whole company to hear, "George, |
have dropped my glove-please go and
look for it," Bancroft went but did
not return.

the form of letter to II. II. Haight and
others, touching the authors connection with
the Code Commission and the causes OF his

1t an unsparing, analytical demonstrative
treatment. The work has come In most OPP
perfume moment, containing, as II does, most
important recommendations as to the mode

well be made, II the people indicate at the

as the former one, there will be enough
saved In one year to deIray the expense Of

EVANSVILLE, Jan. 3O.-A special dis
patch to the Journal says that to-day at
Rockport, Ind; the proposition to appro-
pirate a fund for the buildingof the Rock.
port y Cincinnati railroad was rejected by
the County Commissioners. Aiterward,
however, the proposition was accepted by
the Rockport Banking Company, and the
beginning ol the building OF the road is
now said TO be assured. The proposition
as accepted by the bank is TO create a fund
OF $4,000, $4,000 to be paid to the com.
pany for every five miles built. The peo.
pie Of Rockport are intensely excited, and
the assurance that the road Is to be built
Is received with satisfaction. 1t still re-.
mains for the contractors to accept the
proposition of the Bank, but there Is no
doubt felt that their decision will be
favorable.

occurred at Beaver Falls to-day, among
the Ohinamen in the cutlery works. Al
A. II. Poy, the overseer and Interpreter
was passing through the works, he wa
attacked by the Chinese workmen with {
determination Of killing him. He escaped
by passing through the office. As they
attempted to follow they were prevented
bys policeman, whom they attacked Will
desperation, throwing knives, forks, piece.
Of iron and any missiles they could find
DE iought them determinedly without
weapons until he secured a club, when he
forced them to retreat, after wounding ter
or twelve OF them, two of them being
seriously injured. The trouble srose
from the belief that A. e. Poy had moi
been making proper disposition OF theil
funds entrusted to him.

Convention.
from the Clarksburg Telegraph
The Wheeling INTELL1oENcER takes
issue with US in regard to a Constitutional
Convention. 1t says:
I'VE do not US yet see the propriety oil
going to such an expense. Why not do
as was proposed In the last Legislature
viz: Submit the needed amendments to
the people by an act Of the Legislature T'
We would say, because 1t would cost as
much to upset and remodel the present
constitution by the Legislature as it would
to call Convention of Delegates to do
the work, and then it would be impossible
to do It as well. The present constitution
must be radically changed before the
State can prosper. The Executive, Legis.
lative, and Judicial Departments must be
made more in consonance with the for
nler constitution. The Legislature is too
much engrossed with other matters to
give the matter that attention which It
requires. A Legislature may make a
lew amendments, but Legislature rad
really changing constitution Is without
precedent. It d true that move was
.nAue IN the Legislature at its last session
70 sunmN a sweeping amendment to the
people, out this was the result Of challng
unuer tne present incubus which afIlIcts
tne otate, anu vain attempt 10 get free
from letters BY cutting them. instead of
untying. We believe the masses Of tho
people desire a convention for the pur.
pose OF returning TO economy and CON
venience. .I5
The cost Of such Convention would de-.
pend much upon the elements that would
be mixed into It's composition. II 1t were
composed ol intriguing politicians and
wire-workers, who would be scheming
for partizan purposes, and making q con.
stitution Tor themselves instead Of the peo-
ple,. the cost would probably be Iour times
as much as It oughtto be. But If the
people will call q Convention and elect
men in whom they can conflde-mcn who
will be intent on making the best consti.
tuition they can for the people, 1t need
cost but little. If Q Convention were
called, consisting Of sixty Delegates, the
cost per diem Of these Delegates at 81
per day each would be $240 per day, and
including expenses at 800 per day, would
make the total cost per day to be $500.
Thirty days would give ample time to pre-.
pare Q constitution. This would make the
cost o. stttings Of the Convention $1,000,
and then printing, mileage, and other
contngents would cost $4,000. This
would make the cost ofa Convention psr
