Bishop Kavanaugh.

The Spring street Methodist church
was crowded on Sunday morning and
evening to hear Bishop Kavanaugh
preach. In the pulpit with the Bish-
op were DR.. Lucky, Rev. J. r. Tansey
Rev. Mr.. Hickey, Rev. A. NJ. Camp
bell and others. The Bishop took his
text in the morning from Hebrews, I'd
chapter and third verse: How shall
we escape if we neglect so great saliva
tion? 1t was q peculiar, shrewd dis
course, and showed considerable nat
ural ability, without any attempt at
display. Though it was an effort to
prove the necessity and existence of
He'll, yet, his arguments We're acute
and powerful. We were not particu-
larly interested in the subject, but we
give Bishop Kavanaugh credit for
making the question more entertain
ing than usual. The Bishop has q
wonderful physique and carries his IS
years as lightly as most men support
the weight of As. He has done great
service in the South, but his battles
for the church have still left him a
powerful man. His whole appear
rance indicates great power Of mind
and body, great sincerity and earnest
ness for the right, and we hope he
may be spared to continue his work
for many years.

Broom Corn.

The farmers in the Northern part of
the State are making q success Of the
culture of broom corn, and from the
figures they give to the press it seems
to be very remunerative crop. Mr..
f. d. SIMMONS who lives near Tulare
Lake had two acres in this year. the
product being seven to ten thousand
pounds of number one quality ofbrush
and ton of seed per acre. The for
mer sold at $50 and the latter at $40
per ton. 1t is said that the seed will
pay all expenses of raising and har-
vesting, leaving a clear profit ofthirty
or forty dollars per acre. The crop
was sold to the broom factory at San
Jose. The cultivation of this article
is quite similar to that of corn except
that the stalk is bent over near the
top just before maturity to give
strength to the straw. If the broom
corn is as good as represented our far
mers have good market at New
York where the brush is wort h $16C
to $3.50 per ton. Even with enormous
freight charges such figures will pay
handsomely and would seem to
warrant better prices on this coast. II
the New York factories can afford to
pay from ten to fourteen cents pei
pound for broom corn we should think
California buyers could give the same
figures at least. However, as broom
factories can be COTTON up at compar-
lively little expense, our farmers can
start establishments of their own in
order to get fair price. At the New
York value the article would pay 500
per acre Profit.

pated.
NEW YORK, October 25th.-A spe-
cial to the Graphic from Washington
says parties in the inner circles of pol
itics in Washington think we are on
the eve of startling events, and diff
culties which now seem trivial be-
tween the United States and foreign
nations are not unlikely to assume gi-
gantic proportions Immediately after,
if not before, the meeting of Congress
in December. There is constant war
fare upon our Mexican border, and
the demand has become urgent that
the boundary line between the two
countries should be set back from the
Rio Grande to the chain of mountains
West of the river. Matters with
Spain are manifestly approaching q
crisis, and those who ought to know
say the President is determined he
will not leave the Cuban difficulty to
be settled by the incoming Admins
tration. He feels that it is due to his
own reputation after having in his
messages for several years successively
called the attention of Congress TO
the condition of affairs in Cuba to in
vite them to settle the difficulties in a
way consistent with the honor of the
United States and the interests Of hu-
manity. 1t is certain important COM
munications have been made by Min
lister Cushing to the Spanish Govern
ment. The Spanish papers by last
mail allude to the fleets of the United
States as quietly gathering so as to ee
prepared for any emergency. All
points are warlille.

THE depression in business which
has followed the stringency in the
money market in other parts of the
State has not been seriously felt in
Los Angeles. Especially is this the
case in the real estate branch of trade.
The demand for land is not, perhaps,
quite so brisk, but there is not the
slightest evidence of decline in price.
On the contrary, there has been a
steady advance in the value of real
estate and there is every indication
that the enhancement will continue
throughout the Winter and Spring.
The steamers and railroad are pouring
hundreds of land-seekerss into the
valley each week, and the demand for
lots and farms is increasing steadily.

The attention of manufacturers of
textile fabrics has long been directed
to the article known as Ramie with
the hope that it would supply the
place of both silk and cotton. The fl
ber is of great length, and exceeding
fineness and extraordinary strength,
taking dyes with readiness. Its
growth is so easy and the yield so
large that it was hoped strong fiber
could be produced at a cost of four OF
five cents per pound or even less. The
great difficulty, however, has been
the separation of the fibre from the
stalk, and freeing it from the bark
and gum. Large rewards have been
offered by the British government fol
the invention of a machine that would
accomplish the work at a price sufiic-
iently low to render Ramie available
for mercantile purposes. AS yet We
do not believe that such a machine
has been perfected, though many thou.
sands of dollars have been expended
upon it. There are machines that do
the work after fashion, but none ol
them are near perfect. 1t but re.

California is we'll adapted to the
growth of Ramie but it would not be
advisable for farmers to devote theil
attention to it till they are assured
that they can put their product In

THE Pacific Mail Steamship is ma
king another effort to direct the tea
trade across the continent by. rail, but
even at the reduced rate of three cents
per pound through to New York will
scarcely be able to hold out against
the Suez canal steamers. The latter
make money at $l9.4 per ton of forty
cubic feet, while the Pacific Mail Co.
lose at the present rate of $23.S5 per
ton or three cents per pound. This
last reduction too is at the expense of
San Francisco to which point the rate
is still two cents per pound.
