A Murmur from the Stranger.

A stranger-a man of means looking
for something in which to invest his
money-remarked ON the street the
other day, that the business men of
Los Angeles, or at least a portion of
them, did not extend that welcome to
newcomers which courtesy and a
proper regard for the prosperity of the
city demanded. He said when he
went into the valley among the farm
ers and fruit-growers, he found cordial
friends, willing to give him whatever
information they possessed relative to
the valley, its products and resources.
But in the city, the atmosphere was
chilly, not to say decidedly cold. Bus
iHess men shut themselves up like an
oyster and looked askance at the new
conner, as if fearful that he might, if
he located here, interfere with their
schemes-break up their little monop-
olies. We do not know how much
truth there is in this, but if such
feeling exists, even in q limited de-
gree, it is. unworthy of a community,
and ifpersisted in will prove a serious
drawback to the advancement and
prosperity of the city. We should get
rid of any feeling of jealousy; we can
not afford to continue an indulgence
in the clam proclivities that charac-
terized old Los Angeles. The dog in
the Manager was guilty ofdouble-
der. He starved himself and the horse
to death. We want men of means,
energy and enterprise to come among
us. We want few million dollars
and a few thousand live men-men
who will open stores, establish manu-
factories, build houses and inaugurate
new trades. Neither the money nor
the men will come if, in place of ex-
tending cordial welcome to all COM
ers, we turn them the cold shoulder.
and whenquestioned as to our business
facilities and the opportunities for
opening up new industries, we become
dumb or speak only to discourage and
repel. We have the richest valley,
the finest climate and the most beau
tiful city in the State; let us prove our
selves generous, open-hearted, hos
pltable people. We hope the stranger
was mistaken, or at least that his con-
victions were produced through his
having been so unfortunate as to have
fallen in with one of the few remain
ing representatives of a class of old
fossils who live halt a century to learn
the lesson of decade.

Here then is q very striking feature IN

Meteors are expelled from the sun

A Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred and ten years ago there
was not single white man in what is
now Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, or Illi-
nois. Then, what is now the most
fourishing part of the United States
was as little known as the country in
the heart of Africa itself. 1t was not
till 1776 that Boone left his home in
North Carolina to become the first set
tier in Kentucky. And the first pion-
GERS of Ohio did not settle till twenty
years later still. A hundred years ago
Canada belonged to France, and Wash
ington was n modest Virginia colonel,
and the United States the most loyal
part of the British empi, e. and scarcely
a speck on the political horizon indica-
ted the struggle that in a score Of years
was to lay the foundation of the great
est republic of the world.
A hundred years ago there were but
four small newspapers in America /;
steam engines had not been Imagined
and locomotives. and STEAMBOATS,. and
railroads, and telegraphs, and postal
cards, and friction matches, and revolt
vers, and percussion caps, and breech-
loading guns, and stoves, and furnaces,
and gas for dwellings, and India rub
Der shoes, and sewing machines, and
anthracite coal, and photographs, and
chrome paintings, and kerosene oil, and
the safety lamp, and the cOmpound
blow-pipe, and free schools, and spring
mattresses, and wood engraving. and
Brussels carpets, and lever watches.
and greenbacks, and cotton and wooden
factories, in anything like the present
meaning OF these terms, were utterly
unknown.
A hundred years ago the spinning
wheel was in almost every family, and
clothing was spun aud woven and made
mp in the household, and the printing
press was a oumbrous machine, worked
by hand and nail, or q brick, or a
knife, or a pair of shears or scissors, or
razor, or woven pair of stockings,
or an axe, or hoe, or shovel, or q lock or
key or q plato OF glass of any size. was
not made in what Ia now the United
States. Even in 1870 there were only
seyenty-tive postoflioes ia the country.
and the whole extent of or post-routes
was less than nineteen hundred miles.
Cheap postage was unheard of, and had
any one suggested the transmission of
messages with lightning speed he wonld
have been thought utteSly insane. The
microscope on one hand and the teles-
cope on the other, were in their infancy
as instruments of science, and geology
and chemistry were almost unknown
In word, it is true that to the century
passed have been allotted moro inn
provements, in their bearing on the
comfort and happiness of mankind. than

TWO-Headed- nightingale.


Mysterious as was the physical or
ganism of the now departed Siamese
twins, it was simple IN comparison with
that of the double girl known as the
:" Two beaded Nightins ale" A detailed
account of this strange creature was
recently fur. ished, by III. Paul Bert, TO
the Society of Anthropology, Paris.
From report of this paper we con-
dense as follows Instead of a union
by means of short connectiI & link of
muscular tissue, the bodies of these girls
are united at the level of the last two
lumbar veftebf@. Thus there is COM
plete community of sensibility in the
lower members of the body. The per-
ception of sensation is not identical, how
ever; for, while it is normal IN the one,
in the other it is confused, incomplete,
and lacking in precision. Though the
heads are distinct, separate organs, each
has control over q separate set of mus
cles, the right head commanding exciu-
| siYely the tWo. right lower. limbs. and
! the left head the limbs upon its side.
The two hearts beats separately. and
with a slight difference in rapidity,
which appears in the right radial pulse.
There seems to exist an intimate, rela-
ton between their nervous and digestive
organisms thus when one has sick
headache, it is not long before the 9TH
er is similarly affected, When, young,
their hunger was satisfied when either
was fed but it is now necessary to feed
each separately In character they are
much alike, though mentally they seem
independent; one can read while the
other engages. in Conversation, or one
head can converse In English while the
other is speaking French. During sleep
they frequently have the same dreams at
the same time. The problem presented
dual existence IS one fllat deserves e. ' tbe
most thoughtful consideration, and its
physical organization presents mystic
ry as far above that of the. Siamese
brothers as was theirs above that of any
single individual.

- 81 southern Oorh Crop.


have recently seen an experiment
in corn planting which think. may
prove instructive to some of nv brother
farmers of the south, asi,least. One
acre of land (ped elay) i1Fas taken sum-
meF before last, after the wheat was cut
off, and sOwp broadcast with "cow
peas. When the vines had reached
their growth previous to Towering, six
ty bushels Of Stacked lime was applied
to them. The whole was then turned
under with twe-herse pIow. In this
state the lot remained until last spring,
when itfYas broken up and laid off three
and one-half by three aud one-half feet
/, Il think) the corn. was planted, two
grains In a check. 1t received the usual
cultivation of this section-that is, three
plowings and two hoeings Except that
it was not bedded). The acre Yielded
seVenty-six and three-fourths bushels
by actual measurement. 3 The seed used
is peculiar. It was selected by the gen.
tlemaIl who made the experiment. seve-
raj years ago. from a volunteer stalk
which had eleven ears On it, all of
which, showever, did not come, to D r.
feotion. The yield of the stalk was i've
pounds Of corn. This corn has become
quite celebrated, and is one of the many
proofs of the valde Of a careful stlecs
ton. This yield of seventy-six. and
| three fourths bushels may not strike
the northern farmers as anything re-
markable, but if they will remember
that our average is only ten bushels of
corn per acre, they viii at once see the
value of the foregoing to southern agri-
culture. One bushel of peas will broad
| cast the acre and cost one. dollar; the
lime here, scattered, will cost fifteen
cents per bushel. The lot is now in
wheat, and its owner expects it to pro-
duce twenty five or thirty bushels,
| which for this country Will be a good
| yield. The experiment will not cost
much, and I am sure will repay any
/ farmer. Glover, perhaps, will increase
the yield OF both wheat and corn. One
acre. of such land is worth more than
