NATIVE CorrEE.-The grand topic OF
the day is the wild coffee of California.
The subject has been started by some
foothill newspaper, and in turn, taken
up by nearly every journal in the State,
until, like all travelling items, it has be-
come SO tinted and enlarged as to i'm.
press the average reader with the idea
that the wild coffee groves of the foot.
hills of the Sierras outrival, or equal.
at least, the immense coffee plantations
of South America and the West Indies.
And indeed, living among it as we
do, we can say, that even the most fiat.
tering description we have seen, but
slightly abuses the truth, only in one
respect, and that is in pronouncing the
production genuine article; and even
in that we cannot say they are wrong.
But it does seem If this wild coffee is a
valuable article Of commerce, our stu
pidity in not finding it out sooner is
hardly excusable. We only hope il
may be proven true indeed. What has
been said Of its abundance and hardy
growth is, if anything, more than true.
The whole foot-hill region of Placer
county (and we suppose it is the same
all along the whole slope), is covered
with it, Even on the rocky and dry
ridges it's growth seems as rugged as
in the more favored localities, aud the
yield of berries we have noticed on
these bushes, in the Fall, seems to be
immense. Since our attention has been
directed to the subject, we have exam.
ined both bush and berry more closely,
and have come to the conclusion that
the subject is one worth investigation,
at least.-Pidcr Herald.

Il Is impossible within the proper
limits Of a.newspaper article to more
than touch upon the salient details
which make up the vast amount Of
work transacted under the SUPERVISION
Of the postmaster Of New York City;
and the severity with which he is held
responsible can be realized when it is
considered that he has almost person.
al relation with the owner Of every
letter that has been put into his care.
That, pecuniarily, he is responsible for
millions that are distributed through
his thousands Of agents in compare
lively small sums. Lastly, in this con-
nection, it should be understood that
the total receipts of income from all
sources make up nearly $4,000, 600,
from which sum our City Post Office
pays all of it's expenses, including rent,
clerk-hire and contingencies, then leav-
ing surplus for the United States
Treasury Of nearly $l,500.0OO. II the
present salary of the postmaster, 50, OOO.
is fair remuneration for his work and
his responsibilities, then what is really
to the people the most important and
laborious position under the Govern
ment must be held at q sacrifice by the
recipient that no other officer OF our
Government is called upon to make.

A handkerchief ruptured Baptist

There was church sociablc in the
chapel, and "they played plays" and
drop the handkerchief was one of the
plays. We don't remember just how
its done, but they stand in a circle,
promiscuous, and a lady, taking a
handkerchief, walks around on the out

Rev. Mr.. Foster, pastor, took exception,

the Church was built for q house Of

Woo their mates amid the trees.

Who was courted meath the skies.
When mortal folks were sleeping.
And, through leafy bower and dell.
Sly, merry stars were peeping-
watchers who viii never tell.
Skies Of Summer may be brighter.

But SprinQtime kills the cold days,
Decks the meadows and the bowers.
And, when dying. in its older days,
Leaves us Summer and its flowers.

THE L1aHrn1Ha ROD MANS MISTAKE

TIE LIGHTNING ROD MANS MISTAKE.
I Up in Blossburg the other day a
lightning rod man drove up in front OF
a handsome edifice standing in the
midst of trees and shrubs, and spoke
to Mr.. Summers who was sitting on
the steps in front. He accosted Sum
mers as the owner of the residence,
and said:
81 see you have no lightning rods on
this house."
"No,' said Summers.
care you going to put any on?'
"Weli, l hadn't thought of it,' re-
piled Summers. -,
"You ought to. A tall building like
this is much exposed. I'd like to run
YOU up one of my rods-twisted steel,
glass tenders, nickel-plated tips-ever-
ything complete. May put up one to
show you? I'll do the job cheap"
Certainly you may, if you want to.
haven't the slightest objection" said
Summers.
During the next half hour, the man
had his ladders up, and his assistants
at work; and at the end of that time,
the Job was done. He called Summers
out into the yard to admire it. tie
said to Summers:
"Now, that is all we'll enough; but
if it was my house, I'd have another
rod put on the other side. There is
nothing like being protected Thoroughly
That's true" said Summers; ut
would be better"
.'Pll put up another-shall l?' asked
the man. .
"Why of course, if you think it's
best" said Summers.
Accordingly, the man went to work
again, and soon had the rod in its place.
THAT'S first rate job" he said to
Summers, as they both stood cycling it.
II like such man as you are--big.
hearted, liberal, not afraid to put dol.
lar down for q good thing. There's
some pleasure in dealing with you.
like you SO much that I'd put couple
more rods on that house, one on the
north end and one on the south, for al.
most nothing" 24
ut would make things safer, sup.
pose" said Summers.
Certainly it would. I'd better do it,
hadn't I-heyw @ -
"Just as you think proper" said Sum.
mers.
So the man ran up two more rods,
and then he came down, and said to
Summers: * e
There, that's done; now let's settle
up"
do WHAT"
"Why, the jobs finished, and now III
take my money" ~ A.4 -+~--
You don't expect me to pay you, |
hope?" - .. I
= s"Of course I do. Didn't you tell me
to put those rods on your house?" !
My house?" shouted Summers.
Thunder and lightningl l never orderd
you to put those rods up. 1t would
have been ridiculous. Why, man, that
is the Court House, and Pm here wait
ing for the Court to assemble. Pm on
the Jury. You seemed to be anxious
to rush out your rods, and, as it was
none of my business, 1 let you go on.
Pay for it! Come, now, that's pretty
good"
The Blossburg people say that the
manner in which that lightning-rod
man tore around down, and swore, was
fearful But when he got his rods of
the Court House he left permanently.
He doesnt fancy the place.
