Not a Poor Mans Land.

A private letter from d citizen of
Solano county, Cal, to friend in Illinois,
contains the following You ask me
about the propriety of laboring men re-
moving to California. AS common
place remark, ] will say that it is a great
big country-lots of territory-the choice
pieces of which are in the hands of farm
ers or spectators. AS a result, farm.
ing does not pay at the present time. 1t
is almost wholly cereal country, and
does not pay. Millions OF
bushels are on hand now, for which there
is no market. We grow plenty Of fruit,
but that is perishable, and can't be ex-
ported. Iaborers' wages here on farms
range from $40 to $40 per month, with
board but q man must be a skilled
teamster or plowman to command $40.
They plow here with gangs-three to
four plows fastened together-usln8 SIX
or eight horses in the team. One who
can manage one of these teams can com
mand $50 or $40 per month. Common
hands, owing to the Chinese, who are
very apt at all light work where no
animals are to be handled, can only
realize $40 to $25 per month. L would
not advise any poor man at the East to
leave $40 or $25 per month to come to
California. We are situated thus The
Greeks, Italians, Portuguese, and
Chinese do cur fishing; Irish girls and
Chinese our housework and washing !;
the Mexicans our strengthening the
Jews our store-keeping; the Changers
our big farming, and the Americans do
our railroading, boating, speculatlng'
etc, and together with the Irish, talk
politics and hold the offices.

Educated Wild Ducks.

w. H. Jardine, who has charge of W.
O. Halls shooting demesne at Point
Mouliere, Mich, has educated five Wild
ducks to an extraordinary degree. They
are allowed to roam at will, and will come
at the call of their teacher when he IS
ready to start for the shooting grounds,
either riding at the bow of the boat or
swiftly gliding at its side. Arrived at
the marshes they are posted as decoys,
while the hunters conceal themselves In
the monitor" or otherwise get out OF
sight Then commences the fun. A
single passing duck, or a greater num-
Der, as the case may be, attracted by the
industrious motions of the decoys. come
tumbling down to join in the splashing,
and receive the fire of the hunters. If
successful, every one of the five stands
up, duck fashion, in the water, shakes
its wings, and with its "cah-cah-cah,
testifes appreciation of the sport, At
the conclusion of the days sport they
fly homeward, or ride on the bow of the
skiff, as directed by Mr.. Jardine. He
has been offered fabulous sums for
Dick and the four feminine decoys,
but money cannot buy them.

A Victim to Science.

The Pal Mall Gazette says: Science
has had fresh martyr in DIR. Laval,
surgeon-maior in the French army, who
literally laid down his life in the attempt
to grapple with the late visitation of
plague in Tunis, and track it to its true
source. At the time of the outbreak in
the Province of Bengazi, Srgeon-Major
Laval had left Constantine, his station in
Algeria, on leave obtained for the purpose
of conducting botanical researches in
Trnis. But having once resolved to
study the origin and progress of the cpl
demic-the news of which reached him
suddenly while thus engaged-he never
relaxed the self-imposed task, and, though
he fell a victim to his generous enthu-
siasm, he has left such monument as
probably would have best pleased him
self in a complete set of notes and
diary, showing that he had perfectly
mastered all the facts within his reach.
AS in a simultaneous invasion of the
same dreaded enemy on the Persian
borders, the plague had been preceded
in the province of Tunis it visited by
local famine, which reduced the Bedouin
population to the greatest privations
When DR.. Laval, moved to his new en-
terprise, arrived at Merdsch, reported as
the first focus of the malady, he found
that the three nearest tribes had lived for
months on wild vegetables, with very
scanty supply of barley meal, and, in
fact, had been all but starved. While in
this condition of suffering boy had
been seized in one of their encampments
in April with an illness which carried him
off on the fifth day, and was beyond
doubt genuine plague. His father was
the next victim and so it spread on
through the tribe, who assured DR..
Laval they had had no communication
with any other. 1t must have passed
from them undoubtedly to the village of
Merdsch itself, which lay not quite a
mile off. There had been no death for
several months in this place until the lst
of June, when the first case of plague in
it proved fatal, and was followed by a
number of others with alarming rapidity.
When DIR. Laval arrived there were 10
patients to be treated out of population
of not over 200 persons. The symptoms
were invariably the same, and the typical
boils present in all cases, whether of
death or recovery. For fortnight the
French surgeon struggled on manfully
with his work, attended all the sick, and
employed all such disinfecting precau-
tions as he found possible. But he
succumbed to an attack and died, though
not without leaving behind him records
the most complete ever hitherto obtained
Of number of cases properly observed,
and thus sufficiently giving proof Of his
own patient heroism. 1t may be added
that the theory that the plague is in its
origin simply very bad form of typhus,
usually following famine, and aggravated
by want of sanitary precautions, may be
said to have gained strong additional
corroboration from the results of DIR.
Laval's self-sacrifce.

Foreign Armies and Officers.

The general rule in France is either to
provide that every male, of from twenty
to forty, may be called upon to serve In
the army in Germany, that every man
capable of bearing arms shat actually
enter the army as soon as he is twenty
years old, and then begin by seven years
of actual service, being held liable to be
again called ON, in the event Of war, up
to the age of fifty. There is no excep-
ton, except where a man is physically
or mentally disqualified for bearing
arms. Every one, be he prince or
peasant, must begin with seven years
hard service in the army. Even students
of divinity, medicine and law are com
PEELED to begin life thus. A severe dis
cipline it is.
The result is that military spirit
pervades Germany, and the ruling power,
even in society, is the army-an officer
in service holds that he is, and must be
superior to any civilian, and rarely con-
descends to associate with them on terms
of equality. Ii an officer receives even
an unintentional slight from civilian, he
is expected to refer it to his comrades
and commanding officer, who form
"court of honor" and decide what he
must do. If the civilian be of respect
able status, he will at once be challenged
to fight duel if of inferior rank to the
officer he is not to be challenged, but the
officer must Immediately draw his sword
(Which never leaves his side), and "pink"
or wound him, not SO severely as to Kill
him, but enough to punish him by
wound If the officer does not thus ex-
hibit his zeal for his own &C honor" his
comrades will join in recommending that
he be Immediately dismissed from the
service, which is brand Of disgrace
that nothing can obiterate.

Looking for a Fortune.

Some days ago four young men went
to Scranton, Pa, and set up in business
as Pope & Go. They wanted, they said,
to buy empty oil barrels for refinery in
Binghamton. The inspectors mark on
these barrels ought to be erased by the
merchant before selling, and these mems
plan was to complain of the failures to
comply with tae law, and get half of the
fine of 5000 in each instance. OF some
they bought branded barrels enough to
aggregate penalty of $4,000, and
their share of the penalties, if collected,
would be over 100000. When the
secret leaked out great number Of en-
ragged merchants went to the freight
depot, took forcible possession of the
cars in which the barrels We're packed,
and scraped off the brands. Pope & Co.
we're arrested on a charge Of conspiring
