That Banquet.

We have the details of the banquet
given to the late proprietors and edi-
tor of the Sacramento Union on Thurs
day evening last. About one hundred
and fifty persons were present, and the
table was presided over by Senator
BOOTH, with PAUL MoRRELL seated
on one side and JAMES ANTHONY on
the other. The location of the noblest
Roman of them all-editOr SEABoUGH
whose pen has done more than all
others to. build up the reputation of
the Union, is not given. The first
speech was made by Senator BOOTH.
1t was one of those scholarly, polished
little efforts for which he is noted. He
reviewed the history of the Union,
complimented the energy and incor-
ruptibility of the Messrs. ANTHONY
and MoRRELL, and took occasion to
say to all present that the meeting had
no political significance but was SIM
ply an expression of the esteem in
which the men who had managed and
edited the Union was held by those
present. ANTHONY responded in what
was, for him, very neat speech. He
told what he knew about newspaper
publishing, not forgetting to assure all
that the Union had always advocated
principles, turning neither to the right
nor left through fear or favor. He said
but once had 1t been offered bribe,
and the manner in whieh that propo-
sition was received had prevented the
recurrence of similar advances. At
torney General JOHN LORD LOVE
traversed the ground previously gone
over by the Senator and Mr.. ANTHONY.
That comieal genius and second DE-
MosTHENEs, Assemblyman CowDERY
of San Francisco, made witty speech
which could not be placed on paper
without sacrificing its most telling
points, andso the reporters left it out.
A number of other speeches were made
and multitude of toasts drank, but no
one said ANTHONY for Governor once.
Still it is understood that the primary,
in fact, the chief, object of the banquet
was to ascertain the sentiment of those
invited as to the practicability of MAX
ing him the standard bearer of the
Independent party. They have gone
home thinking about it, and we shall
not be surprised if in short time the
columns of the Bulletin TEEN with edi-
tOrials and communications urging
the Independent State Convention to
nominate "honestn cid JEEMs for
Governor ....z5 .

GrasshOppers Again Devastating Yves.
tern States.

CHICAGO, May l4th.-Rep0rts from portions
OF Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebras-
ka state that the grasshoppers are already de-
vastating the country of every green thing,
and that the farmers are greatly discouraged.
The pests seem to be young-at least they are
very small-rang ging rom the size of a flea to
that OF a common house fly. But their de-
,structive powers appearquite as great as those
OF the full-gr0wn insect. Gentlemen who
have recently been on a tour Of Southwest
Missouri say the grasshoppers are devouring
everything green in that section People are
panicstricken. and cattle and horses are dy-
ing by hundreds of starvation. They can find
nothing to eat, not even in the woods, as the
grasshOppers have eaten the buds and leaves
from the trees. In Minnesota, an investiga-
tiOn by reporter of the st. Paul Press sent
out especially for the purpose, shows that so
far only portion of four counties are troubled
with the pests but deposits of eggrs are found
in other sections, ana serious damage to the
crops is feared

One Of the finest improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole Of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottons, table,
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent Q
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. ale

New Plan of Budding the Orange.

Hearing a good deal as to the success
of the plan pursued by Mr.. Atwood of
st. Augustine, for budding his orange
trees, we visited the nursery gardens
of that gentleman last week to inspect
for ourself. The plan pursued by Mr..
Atwood is this: He buds on the young
Seeding about one foot to eight inches
from the ground. When the bud has
taken, he does mot cut off the top of
the Seeding, as is usually done, but
bends it down in that position. The
bud grows rapidly and very. stout. and
strong. The original Seeding forms
the lower limbs of the tree and pro-
tects the roots and body from the cold.

The Great Trial-SpeculatiOns as "a
she Verdict.

NEW YORK, May 15th.-Morris and Tilton
have taken care to see that all of the letters
and papers of the present suit are in their
possession, and have stored them away, for
use In the criminal trials which in any event
the plaintiffs counsel and Moulton's lawyers
expect to urge to some settlement as soon as
possible. after the verdict, Judge Nelson
remaiued in his study yesterday 10 outline
his charge. -r
Beecher and his friends are serenely conf
dent OF a verdict, and are already counting
on some joyful expressions on the finding.
They ella m that Judge Porter never enters on
a case until he knows which side has the
truth, and that if an offer does not come from
that side, he refuses to he retained. This, they
argue, will give such zest to his speech that
he will not fail to carry jury with him.
Beach says that he believes the jury will not
return verdict for plaintiff, and on this be-
lief he will make his speech short.

An impossible Proposition.

1t is both amusing and pitiful to
read the leaders of Republican organs
about this time. Their efforts to drop
salt on the tail of the Independent
bird are no less fantastic than ener-
getic. Above and beyond all in the
great work is the San. Francisco
Chronicle. It's appeals to the frisky
Independents to come into the Repub-
lican fold are pathetic almost to the
verge of the serio-comic. Its argu-
ments are as sound as those of a man
who tells you that water is damp,
powder explosive and calico danger
Gus. They are simply unanswerable.
The gist of the whole story may be
given in a sentence: Unless there is q
combination between the Indepen-
dents and Republicans the Democrats
will sweep the State. This is all there
is of it. A strong array of evidence
might be set forth to prove that if they
did combine the result would be the
same, but for this there is no induce
ment, for the one all-sufficient rea-
son that the combination cannot
take place. The Chronicle and it's
co-workers are silly children crying for
the moon. They are asking for an i'm
possibility, for the mingling of oil and
water, for harmony between the spark
and gunpowder, for a mingling of
light and darkness, for fraterni-
cation of JOHN F. SwfFT and MARCUS
ID. BORUCK. The thing cannot be
done. A sunbeam is the only thing
capable of passing through pollution
unpolluted, andthe Independent party
is not a sunbeam. There might be a
social shake of the hand between the
Republicans and the Democrats-be-
tween the Devil and the angel Gabriel
but combination of the Independ-
ents and Republicans, never. Those
Independents who went out of the Re-
puDilcan party, went out to stay.
They left because the air was foul and
the food rancid, and they know that
the accommodations are unchanged.
They will none of it. If Mogul SWIFT
should issue pronunciamento setting
forth that the Independents would not
nominate candidates and urging the
supporters of NEWTON BOOTH to vote
the Republican ticket, the hegira from
the Independent camp would be like
unto the pilgrimage to the tomb of the
Prophet, and the ranks of the Democ-
racy would swell with the army of
NEWTON, Let but the Spirit of the
Times announce that there will

Gov. Downey.

We find the following deserved tri-
butte to Gov. Downey in the CAL of the
18th instant:
Ex-Governor Downey is an ardent
admirer of our public school system.
Some time ago, in an grafton, he de-
clared it the duty of the State to clothe
children, if necessary, in order to make
them presentable as scholars. Now
he offers gold medal, with proper de-
vice and inscription, to the pupil of
either sex attending the three classes
of the High School of Los Angeles,
whose record for excellent writing
examinations stands highest during
the school year just coming to close.
The plan of offering medals in schools
for superior scholarship had greater
popularity thirty or forty years ago
than it has at the present time. AS an
incentive to study and good deport-
ment, the medal was decided success.
The State is not supposed to have the
ability to provide medals for all the
schools, but where private generosity
seeks to create an ambition among the
scholars, as in this case, it will doubt
less be found to answer an excellent
purpose.

Henry Dockweiler, Esq, left on
horseback for his mines at Castle
Dome last Tuesday morning. We pity
him; for as he passed our Office, we
noticed that he was riding very sorry
looking nag. Hon. Joe RedOndo and
Bill Pulfer were ahead, mounted on
apparently better animals, and Bill
would look back and say, "Come on,
Henry" and Henry would give his
poor nag a kick or two In the ribs,
which did not seem to improve his
speed much. AS far as we could see
them, Henry was getting further be-
hind, and we expect to hear that he
worked his passage or rode turnabout
with his horse, If he ever got through.
