A SWEET DISCOVERY few days
since, as the workmen on the Cajon Pass
we're hauling over some rocks. they came
across deposit Of honey, and taking .
pole and running it into the mountain
were surprised to find no bottom. They
got longer pole, some twenty feet in
length, and we're unable to touch the bot.
tom with that Upon Withdrawing the
pole the honey began to run out, and
soon tubs, buckets and two barrels were
filed, and still it flowed Some parties
came in town and loaded up with barrels.
and propose to make business of it,
They put in charge ofpowder and blew
off portion of the rock which disclosed
tons upon tons Of honey. Our inform.
ant states that after exploiting it from be-
low to where the bees we're found to en-.
ter, it was found to be one fourth Of .
mile, and it is his opinion that the whole
cavity is 6lled with honey. He estimates
over one hundred tons in sight, and be
lieves that 1000 tons would not be an
unfair estimate This immense deposit
cannot be equalled by any ever found.
According to the above estimate, it
would take every barrel and hogshead
in San Bernardino to hold it San Ber-
nardino { Cal. Argus.

General D. II. Hill in the Southern Home.

General D. II. Hill in the Southern Hcme.I
We were favored last week by call
from our old classmatc and comrade in
arms, General James Longstreet He is
in bad health, and his long whiskers,
that we're once so black, are now frosted
all over He 10 stopped and bowed, and
looks haggard and careworn. There is
little to recall the confident soldier of
Lees army, who never dreamed of disas.
ter, and still less to recall the tall,
straight youth, almost feminine in beau
ty, who led so many charges in the
Mexican war He was then our most
intimate friend in that army, and no one
has mourned ever his mistaken course
since the war more sincerely y tina we
have done. But the south had no truer
champion than be in the days that tried
mems souls. 1t i'll becomes men who
we're bombproofs then to cast stone at
him now. Lee, Johnston and Jackson
were not more devoted to our Confed-
crate cause than was General James
Longstreet. The iSnputations upon his
loyalty to the south are simply ridicu-
lous. As he is no longer in Grants en-
ploy. We feel it but right to testify what
we know assurcdly of his honor and
truth.

"A comforting consolation is brought to
the heart of the hen n-pccked husband, by the
decision of jury in Justice Alexander's
court, on Tuesday last. The command of
wives be obedient to your husbands" has
come to be rendered :" husbands be obedient
to your wives" and the poor husbands had to
submit quietly to the authority and orders of
their wives. There has been a change, and
man is to be emancipated from the scrvle
state with which the moose OF matrimony has
hitherto enyirened him. Man Is to be the
"head Of the wife" and she must submit to
his authority, or take tirst-class whipping,
The Jury, composed OF negroes, In the above
mentioned court have decided that a man has
right to give his wife "gcnteel dressing
down." without laying himself liable to the
strong arm of the law. What consoling,
cheering, comforting invigoratlhg and exhll-

| -" There is a point beyond which forbear-
anee ceases to be a virtue" some one has said,
and in the case which We are about to re
late, that point was reached. and even passed.
In the town there dwells a young man who
not only has a Handsome face, but clear
head and good heart. and the union of these
| three rrcommendatory nalitirs.had made him
great fayorite among the young girls Not a
party or a social gathering was complete save
| when lie WAS present. Beiu@ more than or
dinarily sagacious, he saw at glance, from
his popularity with the fair ones. what sea
son OF enjoyment was within his possession,
! If he chose to avail himself of the opportuni-
| ty presented Among the most ardent of his
admirers were two Dung ladies' both ofthcm
| Incorporating girls. The rivalry that was
nurtured between them, and which was a
necessary result of an earnest desire on the
part Of each to usurp. entire. the affections OF
the young man, had begotten jealousy bor-
del-ng somewhat on covert spirit Of enmi-
ty. Now, the truth was, the young man cared
for neither girl, but contemplated making
each one believe that she was the one that oc-
| cGpied the largest place in his affections. AS
4 matter of course. he had a good time One
night he would breathe into the ears of Susie
sweet sentences of love, and night or two
| after would repeat the same to Katie. One
day the two girls happened to be together
| and Katie was repeating to Susie what our
young friend had said to her, three nights be-
| fore. Why" said Susie, " he made the same
professions of love to me, last night. lie is

me, we will pay him for his meanness There
is point. beyond which forbearance ceases
to be virtue The viliain!' Katie agreed
aud the plan for revenge was consnmnated.
The two girls were together at Suse's house,
the night he WAS 30 call. They gcd two
chairs on the porch SO that there would be a
space between them. Across the space be-
tween the two chairs, they had long. vide
cushion, and placed the whole near the edge
of the porch. The distance to the ground was
about faur feet, aud yengeiul girls had pour.
ed water there and made thick mud Soon
after dark. aud after the lighting of the par
lor. the young man was heard approaching,
| and each of the girls seated herself in the
chair. leaving the middle seat for the youth.
| He WAS very finely dressed. aud sprang into

them, and. on doing SO. turned somersault,
and found himself face down in the mud. a
scream of laughter rang from the lips Of the
girls, as they exclaimed, That's the way We
serve wretches like you! Which OF us do
YOU like best. now?" The young man kfted
! himself from the mud and hastened away
from the house, singing, "Oh, Susie, oh, Ka-
tie, hope you'll never die. you served me
exactly right. told you BOTH lie" The
young man thinks porches are nuisance
and to court two girls at the SAME time, is
dangerous to equanimity and peace of mind
