We have always believed that Judge
Poland would act nationally and honest
ly in the matter. and are pleased that
he thus wisely discusses the subject.
and gives the reasons that governed his
actions. He opposed vigorously by
word and vote the increase of pay, and
now that the repeal of the measure by
this Congress decides that the original
pay was enough. he chccrfully surren-
ders the few thousand dollars that the
last Congress made his own. The course
of the Judge is wise, and must com
mend itself to his constituents a. it does
to the country.-Barton Monitor.

national exposition which opens at Santiago,
Chile. on September l6. 1875, and continues till

Local Option in California.

The Supreme Court on Monday, Oct. s. (says
the Bullesin) 10 long opinion, declared the Local
option law unconstitutional The decision is rem.
dered by McKinstry, Wallace and Niles concur
and Rhodes and Crockett dissent. The decision
went of on the point that the Legislature has no
power to delegate its function of making laws.
We have, therefore, arrived at the end of an agi-
tation which, however laudable in itself, was be-
lieved by many temperance people to be misdi-
rected. Under these circumstances, there will
never be chance to determine whether local OPP
ton, il enforced, would really promote the cause
of temperance But if the local option law is
dead. the temperance sentiment is not. II is an
evidence of great moral progress that such a
law should not only be passed by the Legislature,
but should have received the Endorsement of so
many cities and villages. Itos not too much to
expect that from such sentiment we shall yet
get really valuable temperance law. 1t is the
experience Of. the world that mankind cannot be
reformed at a single effort. No law was ever
passed that changed the whole habits Of people.
The first step in really natural temperance re-
form would be,to place the sale of liquor in re-
spectacle hands. aud the second to discriminate
against strong drinks.

Agricultural Notes.

Regarding alfalfa as forage crop, the Rural
Press, Of San Francisco. says Of it, On the
pampas Of South America it thrives, and appears
rather to enjoy the drouth than otherwise. The
power to withstand great heat and dryuess,
comes from the long, searching tap-roots. which
are sent deeply down into the soil, and End mois-
tufe which is inaccessible to less energetic vege.
tation. Alfalfa, we are told was transplanted
into Greece from Persia nearly 500 years before
the Christian era. At present it is largely cult-
waited in England, France, and other parts Of
Europe, and gives great satisfaction as a forage
plant"
A Sacramento paper says ofiit; This season
has brought to light in this vicinity more than
heretofore, the superiority of alfalfa for mich
cows. Farmers who have been compelled to
turn their mich cows iato their alfalfa fields.
have found that the effect has been TO greatly in
crease the quantity and improve the quality Of
the milk, In some instances the milk is said to
have increased nifty per cent, and the amount of
butter in greater proportion. This experience
sfords one Of the best tests of the comparative
value Of alfalfa We have met with, and taken ia
connection Riihihe other fact, well established,
that the same land in alfalfa will afford from
three to four times the quantity of food that it
will any OF the native grpsses, gives to this grass
an almost inestimable value for dairy purposes"

The. Austrian Polar Expeditions.

According to the accounts in late London Jour-
mails, the Austrian North Pole expedition which
left Europe 10 the spring of 1872, was frozen in
at the north point Of Nova Zembla, in August, of
that year, and was driven in northwesterly d.
reclion with the ice The crew worked five
months 10 vain during the Summer Of '73, to Tree
the ship. 10 the Autumn Of that year, north of
the SOth degree Of latitude, an unknown land was
discovered, whose boundary line north and west
was not TO be seen. A thin line was explored in
sledges from the 9th of March to the 4th of Nav.
1874, up to the SD degree. In honor Of the
Emperor Of Austria, this was named Franz Jo-
seph Land. There were no signs Of animal life
On the 2Oth Of May, 1874. the crew left the ship
Tegethef in four sledges. and after travelling
niuety-six days reached Nova Zembla, where
they met with some Russian seamen and were
taken to Mardoe, il Norway, after undergoing
Undesirable suffering and privations.
A later despatch from Hamburg says: AT
the sitting Of the Geographical Society. after
Captain Kriprecht, Of the Austrian polar expedi.
ton, had spoken, further account was given Of
their travels BY another member Of The expedi-
ton. BE said they had discovered a sound 100
miles long and 80 miles in breadth, running
and dividing the land inIo two exten-
sire tracts On the 18th Of April. IN latitude 81
degrees 81 minutes, the expedition halted, but
they saw that land stretched away to The north
IS far as 50 degrees. The explorers came TO the

NorthPoe 10 this direction, and that the theory
Of the existence of polar sea was uutenable
Vessels would find no harbor to put into during
the Winter. and large expedition without hav-
ing ship in the immediate neighbOrhood would
be impractcable, in consequence Of the peculiar

thought the process so simple and inexpensive
that il wasrnOt worth while making any stir about
it. would as soon have poplar, Eastwood, or
quaking asp as any other kind Of timber for fence
posts after having been set for seven years,
which were as sound when taken out as when
they we're first put in the ground. Time and
weather seem 70 have no effect on them. The
posts can be prepared for less than two cents
apiece. This is the recipe: Take boiled linseed
oil and stir it in pulverized charcoal TO the con-
sistency of paint. Put coat of this over the

Grnsshoppers are proving to be great plague
10 some Of the western United States, and may
some day become SO here. though we trust never
so bad as described below "A gentleman who
went to the front in the grasshOpper region Of
Minnesota. gives glowing account Of how they
forage in their march to the sea. He saw an
army Of grasshoppers rise, as a cloud, until the
air was black with them. They alighted on q
seven acre field of corn, and so uumerousy did they
swarm upon the leaves and stalks they that we're
bent to the ground. It took them but twenty
minutes to strip the field of everything green"
Regarding the olive tree, correspondent
writes: The olive is one of those trees which
can be easily raised in our climate. 1t requires
but little irrigation, and once it has taken root
will grow with about as little care as any of the
class Of ornamental trees our people are now so
profusely planting. Aud there is certainly no
tree more beautiful to the eye than the olive. Its
OblOng, lance-shaped leaf with its deep-green
shade on top and light, leathery color under
meath, when disturbed by the breeze. produce
peculiar and pleasing effect. The tree grows to
a height of thirty or forty feet, and its branches
spread literally in every direction, making most
desirable shade-tree for roads and for the entour-
age of houses But rs most inviting advantage
is in the fact that the fruit will pay for the cult
walton of the tree"

INFLuEScE OF RAiSFALL on CRoPs.-Tho report
by Governor Rawson upon the rainfall Of the Island
Of BarbadOes lasely Published ~ the Legislature Of
that colony. presents n remarkable example Of the
practical value Of meteorological observations. The
mean Of the yearly rainfall in Barbados. on the
average ef the last twsnty-sss years s4T-Is7il is
established. on ample data. at 57.74 inches. Il aP
pears that the rainfall influences, almost certainly,
the sugaT-crOp year only in a slight degree In IF
wet years. Twelve followed BY crops more OF
less above the average and in nine dry years eight
were followed BY short crops. The crop Of any year
may in fact be measured by the rain fall Of proceed
ing year. with such az approach to nccuracy As 10
give practical value to the formulas. Governor Raw
son shows that between 1856 and 1859 there vas
yield Of cropsn each year PropOrionate without any
great variation. 500 hogsheads for each inch Of rain
in the preceding year. His tables prove that during
the period named the formula for calculating the crop
Of the year by multiplying the total rain
fall of the preceding yearly 500 and adding per Ct
if it was vet one. The Governor justly remarks
that the theory Of the calculation and its prastca
application may be OF service not only to planters
Of Barbados in particular bot the agrieultursts OF
other countries who have the means Of comparing
the relation between the rain fall aud crops Especially

Gcrmnnr and France.

recent telegram states that the Government
Of Germany sent an official note to the French
Government to this effect: That the German
Government, after careful Investigation, finds
that the French 10 the South of France are aid
ing the Carists in Spain that this is violation
Of the law of nations against the recognized Gov
eminent Of Spain; that France must send an
army of 25,OO0 men to stop the wrong complain
ed of. or that. if France does not, Germany will
be compelled TO do it. If this report be true,
and it certainly is III keeping with the recent
acts of Germany in Spanish affairs-it will COM
pei France to maintain strong force on the
Spanish frontier. or permit Germany to do what
France alone oughtto do. On the other hand
France takes tbestand that she has a force there
which is sufficient to guard the frontier and pre-.
vent aid being sent to the Carlists in Spain. In
the present critical state of affairs, it will be
very easy matter for Germany and France to be.
come involved IN war again. The success Of the
Spanish Republic is desired by Germany, while
that of the Carlists is apparently the chief object
of the French people, if not of its Government.
" Evidently Bismarck" says an exchange, does
not intend that France shall secretly and by
fraud put another deadly enemy to the German
Empire on the throne of SPAIN If he has to
fight both France and Carsm, he prefers to
force the fight before Don Carlos gets possession
Of the throne, and while the Spanish Republic is
still a power capable, with German aid, of con-
siderable military resistance, and in situation
to invade Provence and Languedoc, and divide
the French army"

The Arrest of Count Won Arnim,

The Arrest of Count Won Arnim,
Which took place in Germany about the first of
October has attracted much interest throughout
Europe. He was ambassador from Germany to
the French Court during the presidency OF NJ.
Theirs, and while there in that capacity seems TO
have been instructed by Bismarck to throw his
influence in favor Of Theirs, as it was for the n-
terest of Germany that he should remain Pres-
dent. From the few dispatches received refer
ring to his case, 1t would seem that he did not
carry out the instructions of his Chief but favored
the overthrow OF Theirs and the election of Mac
MahOn. The result was that be was recalled, and
retired from government service to his country
seat, Nasenheid, Where he was preparing for pub
LEGATION book justifying his course while ambas-
sador and irhpugning Bismarck. 1t is probable
That the religious controversy was involved in the
affair.
On the last Sunday in September, police or
military offiders visited his country residence aud
demanded certain correspondence between Bis.
marck and himself-nnd on refusing to deliver it
he was arrested, taken to Berlin and imprisoned,
where he remained at the latest date. Heavy
bail has been rendered by his friends, but the
government refused to release him. The papers
ure-said to have been sent to England by the
Count for safe-keeping. The government is un-
questioDaby right in taking prompt measures to
prevent republication Of its official dispatches,
which no diplomatic officer has right to use
publicly, even for bis own defence, especially
where they reveal the private Instructions or pol
icy of his government. The whole affair forms
one of the curious phases of the complicated po-
liiical network in which Germany is becoming
involved, and which may require a foreign war TO
enable her to escape serious internal troubles.
