The bill to repeal the agricultural lien law
was defeated in the House, on motion to
strike out the enacting clause, by vote of
ifty-seven to thirty-three. The result Of this

A bill introduced by Mr.. Meyers, colored,
of Beaufort, has received some consideration
during the past week. 1t is bill to reduce
the salaries of certain State and county off.
GERS, and should it become a law, will save
the State and counties about $l19,000 It is
the most important bill that has been intro
duced during the session, and the only one
that indicates practical reform. The salaries
of the State officers under its provisions are
fixed at the following amounts: Governor,
S3,500; Lieutenant-Governor, 81 900; Secre-
tary of State, $4,000; Comptroller-General,

Farm Life In California.

We clip the following, showing fome
Of the peculiar featu res Of farm life in
California Il
There has grown up in this country
a custom that day laborers on the
farm should furnish their own bed
blankets, and employers generally stip-
ulate to this effect in hiring their hands
for all kinds of farm work. Naturally
enough, some Of the new corners think
this is a strange thing, aud are dispos-
ed to kick against it. However, we
doubt if they will be able to check the
custom, which is not so bad after all,
considering the circumstances. 1t is
true that good, clean bed, with white
sheets is much preferable to a straw
stack and WOODEN blankets to sleep in.
1t must be considered, however, that
employers who should undertake to
furnish their hands with blankets
would soon find they had no blankets
to furnish. So long as laborers arc re-
quired to furnish blankets to sleep un-
der, so long will blankets be in demand
aad so long will they disappear. The
nights in this country are so COO! aud
pleasant during the summer that the
open air is more preferable to sleep in
than any house that can be found it,
the country. Many Of the farmers, es.
pecially along our river banks, are in
the habit Of moving out of their houses
and putting up temporary frames and
covering them with musquito nets or
bars, and sleeping in them during all
the summer months. To Eastern peo-
pie, accustomed to close rooms and car
peted floors, this custom seems a
strange one, but time brings all things
right: "Take up thy bed and walk"
is more strictly lived up to in this
country than almost any biblical in
junction, and while it seems strange
to our new comers the custom. that
makes it true is almost a matter of
necessitV."

A NEW WAY TO MEASURE GRAIN.
"A good story is told Of Tioga couu-
ty IN. W, merchant who agreed to
take farmers oats at 40 cents a BUSH
ell if the latter would let MIN tramp
the measure when filled. The farmer
agreed to it. The buyer paid for six.
ty bushels, and the next day went af.
ter them. The farmer filed the half
bushel, and then the merchant got in
and tramped them down, whereupon
the farmer poured the oats 50 compress
ed into the bag. The merchant pro.
tested, and demanded that the measure
should be filed up after tramping.
The farmer informed him there was no
agreement Of that sort, but that he
might tramp down the oats to his
hearts content after they were meas
ured. -. :

Small Fruits for the Northwest.

The idea is coming to be more and
moro favorably received that for much
Of the Northwest increased attention
must be given to the culture of grapes,
strawberries, raspberries, etc to secure
a supply of fruits with certainty, aud
without long waiting This does not
imply encouragement as to ul innate
general success in growing the apple,
and perhaps some varieties Of the pear,
plum and cherry. But the fact that
with proper protection in winter sup
ply Of grapes and berries can almost
certainly be secured each year, places
the culture of these on basis far
more satisfactory than can be claimed
for tree fruits in extensive regions in
the Northwest 1t Is compensation
for the extra cost and labor, and for
the later season in the far North, that
injury from late Spring frosts scarcely
ever occurs, aud that fruit Of most ex-
ceIlent quality is secured with certain
tV.

kindly feeling for the movement. The

Of the leading business men of the
