California Olives.

Santa BlTodra (C.tt.) fnd61.-
Dana 3. Clark has shown sample OF his
olives Of this years crop from his orchard in
Montecito- A thousand trees, 1--WE years old, from
the cuttings, standing On ten acres, have yielded
about 500 gallons Of berries. Nearly all the trees
hare fruiteI little. hut the 500 gallons is the be-
ginning. Their value on the trees is about 50
cents gallon. What il raised on the land between
squashes, etc, pay the expenses ct cultivation.
Let us see what is the value Of hearing olive

full bearing trees in the Santa Basbara Mission
orchard, i'd the Mission San Juan Capistrano and
San Diego orchards, and elsewhere. in good soil
and good locations year in and year out win yield
average twenty gallons OF berries to the tree,
or three gallons Of OIL. To manufacture the oil

There are not . sufficient number OF herring trees
in and around Santa Barbara to justify the cstao
1ishment Of the hest means to manufacture the oil,
and 80 the berries are at present all picked for
table use. 4 few years hence, when more trees

Tho French Ear and Mustaches.

An English paper says. Although the
Paris students may fairly claim to be more free
and disorderly than those Of London or Berlin,
it is quite clear that the Paris Bar Is under as
strict 8 discipline as that of any city 10 the
world. An cdict has gone forth to the effect
that mustaches are at once and iTeVocab1y to
disappear from the upper-ups Of ali advocates
in the Palais dc Justice. OF late years the
dread authorities of the Faculte dc Droit had
connived at the wearing Of these unprofesslonal
ornaments, and grave Professors had even car
ried into the 1ccture-room the forbidden en-
bellishmcnts. But the Minister Of Justice has
interfcred to correct the scandal, and the learned
counsel will no longer be permitted to dispense
with their razors. The incident has glTen oc-
casion not only to a great deal Of gru1nbling on
the part Of those gentlemen, but to some con-
siderable amount of discussion IN the public
press as to the history OF mustache5."

How tho KhedtVe Reu1odeled H1k Army,
Gen. Mcclellan says, in Scribner, that when
one Of the KhediVe's American officers had been
some months IN Egypt, the Khedive sent for
him one day and asked what was the worst thing
he had observed in regard to the army. Hc re-
piled that it was that the regiments we're COM
manded by civilians. The Khediye said: "No,
there is q Colonel for every regiment "Yes,n
said the American; but each Colonel, Chief Of
Battalion, and Captain hes civilian clerk, who
controls everything relating to the pay, rations,
and clothing Of the men, and whoever does that
really commands" t'You are right" said the
Khedive; f'but how would you correct thisl"
'sBy requiring that the Colonels should hare
Sergeants ns their clerks; the Chiefs Of Battal-
ions, Corporals; the Captains, private soldiers;
and also requiring that the officers should SUPER
wise and do much Of the real work themselves"
"That means that the army should learn read
ing, writing, and arithmetic!'' "That is exactly
what was coming at, your Highness.'' The
Khedivc reflected for moment, and then at
once wrote an order to the Minister of War, re-
quirng that from that m 1ment no person In the
army (eithcr officer or soldier} should be pro-
NOTED until be was master Of reading, writing,
and arithmetic. Tie consequence was that the
whole army Immediately became school.

covering for steam pipes and boilers, which
We have fully demonstrated is pre-eminently
superior to any other covering now in use. 1t

Lunacy is increasing in France
out of all proportion with the
growth OF population. Official sta
tistics show that in 1851 the total
number of lunatics and idiots there
was 10000 five years later we find
60, 600 ten years afterward they
numbered no less than $4,000; and
the latest report shows that they
have increased beyond 100, 900.
This remarkable growth of mad
ness among the French is attributed
to various causeS-such as the use
of absinthe. opium. tobacco. etc.
and to the prevalence of relig-
ious, political and speculative fa-
naticism. 1t was increased by the
pilgrimage few years ago; it was
increased by the war of 1870 with
Germany; and the lunacv doctors
of the Prefecture of Police have
observed that after every panic at
the Bourse they had twice as much
work as usual on their hands.

BristOw Breyities.

1t is now apparent that this ring
of whisky thieves and Democrats was
organized for the purpose of break
ing down the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. The Democrats are working
from political motives, the whisky
thieves from self defense. The late
tiasco was one of their first exploits.
The harder they work the better will
be Mr.. Bristow's chances for the
nomination.--IC Cleveland Leader, May
1st.
While we do not retract in the
least our previously expressed adj
miration for Mr.. Blaine, we believe
that Bristow would make a better
canvass, and that his nomination
would be equivalent to his election,
and is so admitted by even the oppo-
sition leaders, of intelligence. There
fore, while we should heartily sup
port Mr.. Blaine. we could 90 INTO the
canvass with Bristow with more con-
tidence Of success Lapees Mich }
Clarion.
In view of his prominence as a
Presidential candidate the papers are
tracing up Secreatry Bristow's ances-
try, and showing that he has an hon.
orable family connection. Mr.. Bris-
tow has just cause to he proud of
his ancestry, but fortunately his good
name and reputation for honesty and
capacity depend in nowise upon his
pedigree. He is not one of that pit
iful class Of weak minded scions in
the country whose only claim to rec
ognition is that they had honest IA
thers. His reputation is his own.
He has been the architect of his own
fortune, and we honor him all the
more for it. We have taken occasion
more than once to express our con-
tempt for class of weak, lazy,
thriftless, improvident, totally help
less creatures, with coats, hats and
boots paid for by an indulgcnt, over
worked father and mother, and who
lay claims t, admission in the first
circles of society on their honorable
ancestry. They are entitled to about
the same consideration as monkey
with a new suit of clothes.-I Knox
