The Dove of Peace.

A bootback lost dove from his cot
about.a week ago, and yesterday, while
crossing the Campus Martins he dis
covered the missing bird. Sezing a
halid ul or mud he gave it a throw Just
as the bird arose. A man was standing
on a box, Settling some sweet oil, and the
mud sruck hun hat in the face. He
got down, eyes full Of mud, and, feeling
around him called out:
Il want 1t understood that this
bold attempt to crush out free
speech does not make me quail in the
leasLl Some one slide UP hefe within
reaehp''
Several persons slid the other way,
taking a large part ofhis stock. When
he had cleared his eyes and dis
covered his loss he mounted the box and
said: ....sE
Gentlemen, tyrants and usurpers, l
take it all back. Trot up your state of
anarchy, bring out your red-handed bas-
tiles, and let me hear the siren voice of
monarchy Who'll have the next bot.

Farms and Wages in California,

Our attention has been called to the
number OF farms and of agriculturists or
persons engaged i'll farm labor in the
Union and in California, and we find
that though the farms have on the aver
age three times as many acres in this
State. there are relatively fewer laboreys
to ti84arm. The nation has 1853 OOO
farms and 5 $4,000 farmers, while our
State has 23, 900 iarms and At ,000 farmers,
Ohio, Connecticut and Nebraska have
about the same proportion as Califor-
MIA, or two agriculturists for each farm ::
while New York, Pennsylvania and ILL
'nois have three Tor two farms, and Ala
bama and Georgia have four for each
farm, rr
aThe larger average size Of the Cali
fornia farms is caused by the fact that
q 100, 600 acres out OF 5000, 900 acres in
closed are used for pastures Of wild
grass; and that on account of the dry
character and light, clean soil of most
of the farms, u man can cultivate a
larger area than in the moist, weedy,
aud heavy soils of the Atlantic States.
There has been no notable change in the
rate of wages in California for several
years. Mechanics get from W to 80 per
days. unskilled white male. laborers
from 81 to SO; and Chinaman from GO
cents to 81, without board. Masops,
plasterers, and plumbers receive from
IA to So; carpenters, blacksmiths, and
wagon-makers, from So to $4; servant
girls for general Homework, SIS to $25;
farm laborers, from $25 to- $50 in winter,
and from $50 to $50 in summer, per
month, with board. Miners get va 90 or
81 per day; and surface laborers at
mines, 50 SO to So without board. The
&. - i.
the Atlantic Slope and Australia, and
one-third in Europe, and provisions gem
orally are cheaper in California. II Alta
