WHosoHvEB has undertaken farming in
California has been met at the outset
with one great and apparently iusuper-
able difficulty. Suppose the farmers
land to be paid for and his title perfect.
He must have working capital. The
cost of seed, labor and machinery must
generally be provided for in advance. To
raise the necessary coin for these pur-
poses the farmer must hypothecate either
bis land or his coming crop. This would
be we'll enough if the rate Of interest was
reasonable, but tho farmer is generally
compelled to pay from one to one and .
half per cent per month. compounded.
when for other enterprises plenty Of
capital can be had ut eight or nine per
cent per snpum. 1t is enough to say
that no land in the world can pay such
an interest under ordinary circumstances.
Yet We see no remedy. The law of sup
ply and demand must regulate this mat
ter And yet. a. things are. the pre-
vailing rates OF interest are certainly
ruinous to the farmer and tend to turn
capital in . different dire ction from that
in which the resources of the State
would be most healthfully developed

A War Reminiscence

| stood, not in Venice on the
Bridge of Slghs, but on the upper
verandah in front of the old Fannin
House, in the city of Houston. The
hour was noon. And | leaned over
the balustrade and peered through
the trees at the crowd below, com
posed of soldiers off duty, and civil
ians who wrote exempt" after their
names. 1t was in the midst of war.
The gallant Magruder was quartered
in the town, and everything bore a
martial aspect. Seated alone on an
armed penitentiary or splint-bottomed
chair, tilted back against one of the
trees, was stalwart, elderly gentle
man, stranger, simply attired, evil
IDENTIFY out of health, and listening
with apparent interest to the argu-
ments and conversation of those
around.
The central figure was 4 confeder-
ate officer, bcdizzened with lace and
buttons, sash and sword. He was
discussing the war, disunion, the con-
federacy. "Gentlemen," he exclaim-
ed, chow | should like to meet that
traitor, that UnionIst, who
would sell his State for mess of
pottagc-Sam Houston, the arch-hai-
tor. I'd run this sword-drawing the
weapon from its scabbard-through

down on its four feet, and | felt my
hair raise in ratio with the towering
form that unfolded itself, presenting,
even in its feeblencss, as fine speci-
men of manhood rs | ever beheld.-

eye shadowing the belaced pigmy, he
thundered;

The presence Of the man was SO
great that | do not believe one of the
eye-witnesscs could tell on oath what
became of the pigmy. When they
recovered their senses he was gone

each other 10r Joy and warmth, for
they were very cold.
Farmer Buxton, who lived IN a
lonely house on the edge OF his own
private prairie, was famous sleeper
in general, but on this particular
morning he awoke before the dawn,
and though he turned and turned
again, he could sleep no more. SO at
last he awoke his wife and said: "It's
no use; I'll just get up and dress, and
have a good look ut the comet"
The next she heard was trighten-
ed summons to the door. 1t seems
that no sooner did he step from his
house than his eyes fell on a strange
shape hanging in a large pear tree
about twenty yards distant. He could
see in it no likeness to anything
earthly, and he half fancled it might
be the comet, who, having put out
his lights, had come down there to
perch. In his fright and perplexity
he did what every wise man would
do in like extremity. Reinforced by
her, he drew near the tree, cautiously
accommodating. Surely, never pear
tree bore such fruit? Suddenly there
descended from the thing plaintive,
trembling little voice, "Plcase take
us down; we are very cold."
Then second little voice, ''and
hungry, too; please take us DOWN.
"Who are you? And where are
you?"
The first little voice said: 1--WE
are Mrs. Harwood's little boy and
girl, and we are lost in balloon"
The second little voice said: at is
us, and we ruined away in balloon.
Please take us down."
Dimly comprehending the situa-
ton, the farmer, getting hold Of 4
dangling rope, succeeded in pulling
down the balloon. He first lifted out
little johnny, who ran rapidly few
yards toward the house, then turned
around and stood for few moments
curiously surveying the balloon. The
faithful little sister was so chilled and
exhausted that she had to be carried
into the house, where, trembling and
sobbing, she thld her wonderful story.
Before sunrise mounted messenger
was dispatched to the Harvard home
with the glad tidings Of great joy
lie reached it in the afternoon, and
few hours later the children them
selves arrived in state, with banners,
and conveyed in covered hay wagon
and four. Joy bells were rung in the
neighboring town, and in the farmers
brown house the happiest family on
the continent thanked God that night.

The following incident in the life
of Madam MacMahon is related:-
In the middle of the winter Of 1888 a
fire broke out in the ftmale semina-
ry at Limoges, France, and spread
with such rapidity that it was feared
all the inmates would perish. Sud
denly there was a cry that one little
girl had been left in her room. AS
the excited spectators were beginning
to pray for the unfortunate child, 4
tall girl, with disheveled blonde hair
and flowing nightgown, cut through
the crowd, and, with shrek of "Tll
save her." that rose above the sound
of cracking timbers and falling ma
sonry, dashed into the doorway. y
loud hurrah that was prolonged to
the echo only to be repeated again,
attracted the attention of the devo-
tees, and the palc-taced girl was seen
skipping through the flames with the
terrified child. A few days thereat-
ter King Louis Philippe sent the her
oine a gold medal for her bravery,
and u Captain of the French army,
who had witnessed the girls pluck,
begged an introduction. The Cap
