THE LAND-GRABBERs' GATHERING

Some little time ago your correspond
ent discovered by accident the purposes
Of the ring, and ascertained that at no
very distant day there was to be held,
by previous agreement, a secret con-
clsve at this point, at which the whole
plan Of operations was to be discussed
and thoroughly digested. He was begin
ming to suspect that perhaps the con-
spirators had changed their place of
nj ting, when he was reassured con-
cerD ny the reliability Of his information
by the arrival of no less q parsonage
than Hon. (?) Senator Dorsey, ac-
cOmpanied ~ his wife. A day or two
afterwards Congressman Cause Demo
ciaD dropped quietly down into the viii
lage, and to-day Hon. (?) Mr.. Clay
ton and Congressman Wiltshire (Repub-
lican Democrat) put in an appearance.
That they will be closely followed by the
rest ef the ring is already an assured
fact. Dorsey, VINO is said to be the most
cunning and corrupt Of the lot, finding
that the purpose of his visit was sus-
pected, and fearing, doubtless, the ven
geance of some OF the claimants or their
heirs, has given out that the plan TO be
submitted to congress will look to the
acknowledgment Of the equity rights Of
the claimants. This, Of course, is the
bssest Of fabricstions, for we know how

a LoyNG COUPLE.-LaSt week 4
loving couple were joined in the holy
bonds Of wed!ock In Salinas Citv.-
They were married in the morning.
and Immediately stepped abroad the
cars for a bridal tour to San Francis
co. They attracted considerable at
tention on their way to this place by
their honeymoon ways, and created a
good deal Of quiet fun among the
g0odly number of ladies and gentle
men who were passengers. In due
time the cars entered a tunnel a short
distance from this place, and all for a
few moments WAS enveloped in dark
ness. All too soon the cars emerged
into the broad glare of the MONDAY
sun, and our loving bride and groom
were discovered locked in each Others
arms and exchanging kisses at a
rate seldom seen in public. The pas
sengerS took in the situation in about
second, and a shout went up that
nearly threw the train off the track ,
and brought the conductor to the
scene on The doublequick. Pass it
around, yelled big man who was on
his way East to get his wife. go

to the conductor; and as the newly
made husband settled back in his seat
he was heard to say: Sarah, | thought

TELL TALE LIPs.-I have observed
that lips become more or less con-
tracted in the course of years, III pro-
portion as they are accustomed TO eX-
press good humor and generosity, or
peevishness and a contracted mind.
Remark the effect which moment of
illtemper or grudgingness has upon
the lips, and judge what may be ex-
pected from habitual series of such
movements. Remark the reverse and
make similar judgment. The
mouth is the frankiest part of the face;
al can't in the least conceal its sensa-
tiOns. We can neither hide ill.temper
with ii, nor good; We may affect what
we please, but atfectation will not help
us. In wrong cause it will only
make our observers resent the endeav-
or TO impose on them. The mouth is
the seat Of one class of emotions, as
the eyes are of another; or, rather, it
expresses the same emotions, but in
greater detail, and with a more ire
presslble tendency to be in motion.
1t is the region of smiles and dimples,
and of trembling tenderness of a
sharp sorrow, or fall breathing joy,
of candor, of reserve, of anxious care
OK libezal sympathy. The mouth ont
of its many sensibilities, may be fan
cled throwing up one great expression
into the eye-as many lights in a city
reflect broad luster into the heavens,

A HMO.LRG CATCHgR.-The Dan
bury man wrote from Europe pathet-
ically: You have seen the picture OF
shepherds with the proverbial crook
in their hands. ] didn't think that a
party could be a shepherd without
this crook. was glad the first man
| saw carried one of these crooks. [

but always believed it was badge Of
the occupation, whose origin could
not fathom, handed down from centu-
ries, since the time sheep were invent
ed. Imagine my genuine disgust
when l saw this shepherd use his sa-
cred crook to capture the straying
animals by catching hold of their hind
legs and tripping them up. The aw-
ful truth came upon me Ike a flash,

PRoPAGAToRs OF DISEASE. - The
PaH N0N gazette says: "Among
the many agents for the spread Of in
fectiOus diseases, are, it seems, our
domestic pets. For the propagation
OF fever dog is sometimes as bad,
if not worse, than a drain. and 4 case
is referred to in the Sanitary Ree0rd,
in which scarlet fever was carried
from one child to another by favo-
rite retriever. The dog had been
reared in a house where scarIatina
prevailed, and was subsequently given
to a friend of the family. Shortly at-
ter one of the children in the dogs
new home was attacked with malig-
nant scarlatina and died. Disinfec-
tants were used plentifully, and every
precaution taken to prevent a recur-
renee of the maIady, but in two
months time second child took the
same disease, in It's worst form, and
died. As the dog had been the con-
slant companion and playfellow Of
these children, lis woody coat. 1t Is
alleged, became so charged with con-
tagiouS matter as TO render it source
of disease and death. Although it is
fair to the dog to admit that the chill.
lren may have caught the fever from
other sources than his woody coat, yet
there is reason to fear that both dogs
and cats, especially the latter, 90 oc-
casionaily assist i'll the circulation of
infectious illness, and where fever pre-
walls the sooner they are lodged out Of
doors the better. They are, however,
probably not more dangerous in this
respect than books. No one who
takes up a book from a library ever
troubles himself or herself as to the
autecedents of the volume; it may
have inst left the hands of fever
patient"

When trouble comes upon him, in

A BATTLE WITH Army WoRNs.-The
army worms are among US, and we
have fought and conquered them, and
this is the way we did it: When out
at our farm the other morning, about
Q o'clock, we were walking across the
corn field, and were attracted by a
small, grayish looking worm on a
blade of corn, apparently making his
morning meal. We touched the corn
shoot and the worm dropped to the
ground as if dead Ila ha ! thought
to myself, | have seen your kind be-
fore. And ] began to look around for
his fellow soldiers, and soon found mil
lions Of them marching on from the
tules toward my corn, broomcorn, bar
ley, oats and alfalfa. The further ]
followed up their trail toward the
tules the thicker were the worms, all
marching in the same direction-from
west 10 east. The worms were from
a quarter of an inch 10 an inch in
length, and it seemed as though every
square inch of soil contained one or
more. | saw in a moment that that
army must be met and conquered, or
work of the year on the farm would
be laid waste, for these soldiers forage
on the country they travel over. We
therefore summoned al the men on
the place, brought all the teams and
plows and shovelS into requisition,
and in three hours time we had fur
rows plOwed twelve inches deep across
the place, between the cultivated
fields and the tules, and men were en-
gagged in cleaning the furrows out
with spades. First, we turned one
furrow eight inches deep from the
direction in which the worms came.
In this furrow We followed with an
other plow, going about four inches
deep. This of itself was a great OBJ
struction to the progress Of the army,
but now and then the worms would
find means OF scaling the earth works
thus made. With spade and shovel
we therefore cleaned all the loose dirt
out of the furrow, and on the land
side, or on the side of the furrow to-
ward the cultivated field, we had the
soil near the bottom of the furrow
excavated SO as to form projection.
Up this projection the worms could |
not climb, and we left millions of them
there to die in the last ditch.-Sdcr0- |

4 M,D,,rvnS SroRr OF THE CRoss.,

a MIprAEvAL STORY OF THE CRoss.-
When Adam lay in his death sick
ness, he sent Seth to Paradise to beg
for some Of the oil of the tree OF mer-
cy. The arehangel Michael replied
that the oil of the tree of mercy could
not be given to men for the space of
six thousand years; but instead, ne
gave Seth a wand which he was TO
plant upon the grave of Adam after
his death or, as some say, seed which
he lay under his tongue And pres
emily Adam died, and Seth fulfilled
the commands Of the angel. From
the wand planted upon the grave Of
Adam, or, as some say, a seed set up
on bis tongue, there grew a deadly
tree. And by and by King Solomon,
seeing lis godliness, bade them cut 1t
down and fashion it for q summer
house they were building for him.
But the builders could not hit nor
fashion il: first it was too large for It's
place. then too small, so they threw it
aside, and cast il for bridge across
the stream in Solomon's garden. The
Queen of Sheba coming to visit Sol
omon, was aware of the spirit of the
miraculous virtne of the tree, and
would not tread upon it. After she
was gone she sent messengers TO Sol
omou bidding him beware of that
tree, for on it would be hanged one
by whose death the kingdom of the
Jews would pass away.-So Solomon
caused the tree TO De buried deep in
the ground. And later, the Jews I'M
awares dug . well in the same place;
this was the pool of Bethesda, and
not only from the descent of the angel
but from the tree which was at the
bottom of the well, the water drew
healing virtues. About the time
when Christ's ministry drew 10 an end
the tree Of It's own accord floated on
the surface Of the water, and the
Jews, finding it ready to their hand,
used it for a cross whereon to cruelty

DoCToRs' CANEs.-it was formerly
the practice among physicians to carry
cane having hollow head, The top
of which was gold, pierced with holes
like pepper box. The top contained
a small quantity Of aromatic powder,
or of snuff, and on entering a house
where a disease, supposed to be infec-
tious, prevailed, the doctor would rap
his cane on the floor 10 agitate the
powder, and then apply it to his nose

The AVERAGE EX-CoNGRESsNAN.-
The New York Times, in accounting
for the large number Of office seekers
among the retiring Congressman,
says: To an average ex-Congress-
man, life among his constituents is
simply intolerable He is no longer
the magnate of his district to whom
flock suitors, hat in hand, and eager
for favors. With human fckleness,
his old admirers turn their faces to-
ward the new representative; they are
no longer his constituents, Of whom
be spoke proudly when he addressed
the nation through the columns of the
Congressional Record, and another
man supplies them public documents
and garden seeds. He would like to
be let down easy,' if he must return
10 the dullness of his own place
