How She Fixed Him.


THERE is a man in this city who is so af
fectionately fond Of his wife that he is
jealous If man looks within forty-five
feet OF the direction in which she may
happen to be. The other day gentleman
spoke to her and he Immediately threat
ened suicide. His wife was dispatched
for bottle OF poison consisting of IA little
water cOlored with licorice, and labeled
with glaring poison label outside. When
he threatened to take some of il, and actu-
ally poured il into a wine glass, she
screamed for help and ran out of the room
into another room, where she could watch
him through the key-hole, and saw him
coolly open the window and throw it out.
She then rushed back, apparently frantic
with grief and implored him not to do the
rash deed. He merely pointed at the glass,
and laying down on the floor began TO.
kick out his legs like jumping,jack
She told him she was determined TO share
his fate, and swallowed the rest of the
licorice water, whereupon he became
really frightened, called the neighbors,
confessed that lie only slammed, and said
IL she only survived he never would
trouble her again. Then she explained
the ruse, and he was so mortified he tried
to buy up the silence of the peigbbors, but
the story was too good to keen He is

CALIFORNIA 1874 two thous-
and new houses were erected In San
Francisco. In round figures the sum
paid for sales Of real estate amounted
to $34, 900. 90, or nearly double the to-
tai of the previous year. The increase
in the value of real estate Is estimated
at 10 per cent. The present popula-
ton OF the city is placed at 600, 900,
The native products, such as wines,
raisips, currants, figs and dried fruits
are displacing imported commodities,
and homegrown tobacco is rapidly
gaining in favor. The movement Of
wheat during the past season has been
exceedingly active, and has exceeded
that of 1878 by nearly o fifth. The
necessity that auxiliary crops, such as
barley, hops and oats should be more
extensively raised is felt, and the San
Francisco papers urge the farmers to
make arrangements for this during the
coming season. The experiments In
TAX raising have proved most success
ful, and the hope grown in the State
are pronounced as fully equal to the
finest specimens produced in the gar
dens Of Kent and Surrey, and as far
superior to those OF Alsacce.

The mining expert who was sent to
Nevada from San Francisco to estimate
the value Of the orc in the Consolidated
Virginia and California silver mines,
puts the figure at 81 ,50c, ,000, 900. The
consequence is that the good people OF
San Francisco have gone crazy over the

rating the stories OF those who have
made fortunes in day, while it directly

is but a resonant Spanish term for q

regular, unusually rich deposit of silver

TOO MUCH MARRYING

There is altogether too much mar
rying by form of law /; those who at
the most, are only a third or half
married in other ways. And there
is altogether too much urging anG
coaxing, and alluring young people
into the most important and sacred
of all human relations before they
are prepared or moved to assume its
burdens, and by those who ought to
know better and act with more con-
sideration. We make too much mar
rying and being married, until it is
thought by many people some what
of a disgrace for a woman TO pass
through life; when in fact, the life
of many a single woman is poetry,
romance, rapture even, in compari-
son with that of many wife. So
there is vast deal of marrying with
very little of real marrying a vast
deal Of discomfort, heaatache, misery,
hypocrisy and unmarrying at the
last. What we want is not more
stringent divorce law, but better
understanding of the moral law which
forbids the marriage of those not al
ready one not less marrying, but less
marrying where there is no real mar
rying. And, above all, let there be
no melting or bribing those to marry
who not drawn to each other, and
held in inseparably together by quali|
| ties of mind and soul.

down the notes as best l could. 1t

OPINIONS.

In the course of an address at the
public dinner in New York lately,
Mr.. William Cullen Bryant, in speak
ing of the press, gave this counsel !:
III should not advise any of those
who hear me to drop an honestly
and heaIthily conducted Journal be-
cause of disagreeing with it on some
single question, though it seems to
them important" Commenting on
this contemporary feelingly says /:
Very sensible advice, Sad the worst
of it is that it should be needed and
yet what journal has not had on IFS
subscription list the names of those
who, meeting with an article which
did not happen to meet their views,
have written back "slop my paper
and this sometimes accompanied by
bit of bad language or positive
abuse but this only comes from
weak people who, not content with
simply being so, must needs proclaim
1t with pen and ink. Generally, a
very pleasant, friendly relation exists
between editor aud subscribers, and
usually nothing gives him greater
pleasure than to receive courteous
note dissenting from the views of the
journal. For ourselves, we are al
ways glad, not only to have the opip-
ions of readers differing from our
own, but, sometimes, to print them
as we'll. We have said many things
in which all our readers cannot pos
sibly coincide, and expect to do so
again and again. But that ought
not--we are glad to know that il
does not-rsnder our paper one whit
the less acceptable to our readers,
whom we look upon as friends. No
one can afford to throw overheard a
friend worth having, because of
mere difference of opinion; and he
shows simply weakness, to put it
mildly, who discards a good paper,
in which he finds much TO his liking,
because Of an incidental expression
of opinion with which he may not be
able to entirely coincide.

AGRICULTURAL TRUTHS.

The tendency of late investiga-
tons and experiments is to show, not
that we have MANFRED too much, bit
too expensively-that we have been
wasting time, money and fertilizers
by putting costly ingredients where
they have net been needed, and
where, in many cases, they have
done positive harm. We not stud.
led books too much, but nature too
little. We have not observed with
sufficient care and thoughtfuIness
how fields and forests not subjected
to mans unwise manipulations, not
only retain but increase their fertili>
ty. We have paid high prices for
nitio gen in our fertilizers, when a
crop Of clover, vetch or peas, turned
under or allowed to decay on the sur
face of the soil, would give us, at
scarcely any expense, all the am
monia we require. So we have
bought potash for application to
granite lands, where it abounds, and
frequently withheld it from the pine
lands, where it is generally deficient.
We shall learn, ere long, by the
help of practical field chemistry, and
vegetable physiology analysis By
plant growth and the study of grow
ing plants--how to make our lands,
TO large extent, manure ihem>
selves then they will pay US for the
seed and the labor we put upon them
and will grow richer year by year.
