the Bazaar, corner of Main and Re-
quena streets, opposite the L. S. Ho-
tel, with a new black beaver suit,
which he had just paid SIS for, and as
he walked down Main street the eye
of envy was on him, and numerous
were the inquiries of where he had
that splendid fitting suit made; and

countenance as he answered that it
came from the Bazaar, and he had
only paid Sis for it. There are a few

Lumber In San Rernardino County.

Mr., @, Crandall who is just in from
the San Jacinto mountains, in San
Bernardino county, paid us visit yes
terday. Mr.. Crandall has been en-
gagged in erecting and carrying on a
saw mill for a company, of which
Messrs, RiclSuell and Hall are the
managers, The mill is about forty
miles beyond Cotton and eight miles
from the line of track extended from
that point. Mr.. Crandall reports an
abundance of pitch and sugar pine,
which he thinks as fine as can be
found IN the State, and there is Il SKIP
ply that will last the mill five years
of steady running, About 100000 feet
of lumber has been already sawed. 1t
can be laid down at the track for SIS q
thousand, and is equal to the same
qualities which sell in San Francisco
at $40 to SIS thousand. If this j.
the case it will in time work q revolu-
tiop in the lumber trade of our city.
There Is another mill in the same Sec
ton which is employed in saving ce-
dar ties. Mr.. Crandall says that the
lumber region is overrnn with had
characters, as is usual in Suoh places.
On the night of the 9Sth of last month
his tent was cut open and his pants
abstracts from under his head. He
lost by the operation fine silver
watch and 500 in money. The watch
he will he able to identify If he should
ever see it again. The number of the
case was 2{,4G0, aud tho works 3S,699.
The thief who has it will do well to he
on his guard, or he will bring up with

TRUST.

Searching for Strawberries ready To eat;
Finding them crimson and large ana sweei
What do you think found at my feet
Deep in the green hillside?
Four brown sparrows, the cunning things,
Feathered on back, and breast, and wings,
Proud with the dignity plumage brings,
Opening their four mouths wide.
STOPPING lower to scan my prize,
Watching their motions and curious eyes;
Dropping my berries in glad surprise,
A plaintiye sound | heard.
And look ing up at the mournful call,
/ spied on q branch near the old stone-wail.
Trembling and twttering, ready TO fail,
The poor little mother bird.
With grief and terror her heart was wrung,
And while to the slender bough she clung
She felt that the lives of her birdlingS huns
On a still more slender thread.
All, birdie! said, fyou only knew
My heart was tender and warm and true,
But the thought loved her birdlings too,
Never entered her small brown hend.
And so through this world of ours we go,
Bearing our burdens of needless woe,
Many heart beating heavy and slow
Under lis load Of caie.
But o. if we only, ,only knew
That God was tender, warm an true,
And tnat he loved us through and thr ueh ,
our hearts would be lighter than air

Bananas.

Rev. II. II. Messenger showed us
yesterday banana grown by Mr..
James Huntington of Orange. 1t was
one of q bunch containing fifty-fve
bananas, and weighed four and one
half ounces. An imported banana
which Mr.. Messengers brought for
comparison only weighed three and
One-half ounces The bulb from
which the banana grew was imported
from the Sandwich Islands and sold
to Mr.. Huntington twenty-five
months ago. 1t is Of the Chinese
dwarf variety. In flavor as well us in
size we consider the domestic fruit SUI
periOr to the imported. This will
settle forever the mOoted question
whether bananas will grow in South
ern California. One reason of the su-
periOrity of the domestic fruit is per-
haps found in the fact that it was al
lowed to ripen in the sun, while the
other was picked green and shipped.
Mr.. Messenger is enthusiastic in his
belief that bananas will flourish here,
and he bases his opinion upon long
and thorough experience in the cul-
when planted in groves the stalks will
protect each other from any possibii-
ty of danger from frost or other
damaging elements. We understand
that it took twelve years to acclimate
the banana in Florida so that they
would bear fruit, but here they have
come to maturity the first season af-
ter planting. Mr.. Messenger has two
or three hundred Florida bananas,
planted the twenty-ninth of last APP
ril and they are now from six to eight
feet high and look as though they are
ready to bear. This is even a more
rapid growth than the Chinese dwarf,
Mr.. Messenger is confident that he can
clear three CT four hundred dollars
from an acre of the fruit the second or
third year.
