The Bonham Aers says that some people
think that the land grant of the Texas
and Pacific Railroad was saved from for
fixture by the railroad. ordinance of the
Constitutional Convention. That subsidy
was forfeited on the first of November,
1875. The ordinance IN question was not
month, and applies only to those railroads
which would else have forfeited their
charters between that time and the adj
journment of the Fifteenth Legislature. By
no rule of law or of common sense can it
affect forfeiture which accrued nineteen
days previous to It's passage"

THE trial Of Belknap by the Senate of
the United States is hardly worthy occupa-
ton for this august body He is small
man in every aspect of his intellect and
character, lifted above his fellows by the
vulgar accident of vulgar, brutal war.
The taal Of such man, once estimable
simply because he was deemed honest and
brave, for petty knaveries and thefts, is a
task that should be assigned to some re-
corder's court or Old Bailey, and the Senate
might surely find for itself worthier oceu-
patton. Moreover, the time Of illustrious
statesmen cannot we'll be wasted on such
tasks. A Governor General of India might
well be arraigned AZ the bar of the House of
Lords and Commons, and Burke might
prosecute or Sheridan defend, and Andrew
johnson might be impeaehed of high crimes
and misdemeAnorsbe before successors of Clay,
WEBSTER and Calhoun, but il Is most un-
seemly, this arraignment Of miserable, lit
tie lawyer and speculAtor and adveuturer
from the Northwest, who is great only to
the extent that he tickled Grants fancy
while desOIAtion swept away cities and
peoples and homes and decency and good
morals and begSt countless brood of Bel
knaps. Senators should induce the
scholarly and venerable Henry S. FOote,
who dawdles in green old age about the
committee rooms of the Cspitol, 10 quote

A startling account Of the prevalence OF
the crime of inccndarism was given in the
convention of fire underwriters, in New York

the fires of last year or.RinHted from incen-
diarism, and that .hnty five per cent. OF the
whole anon. Of property destroyed by fire
was ,L-"ugh incendiArism, or, in other

year in the United States and Cauada ran
up to fifty millions of dollars.

II il . maxim In business. general

thoroughly understood aud uniformly
adhered 10, is the most profitable in the
long run. This is in conformity to the
doctrine which tue political economists
term division Of labor. II applies to
degree IN farming as we'll rs in manu-
features. For instance, the man who
makes grain . speciality, and shapes bis
arrangements aud machinery for its
most abundant and economical produc-
ton. is sure, in the average OF years, TO
10 . better business than if he under
took TO fix up TO run several different
branches Of farming. The same is true
Of hay. hops. dsirying fruit, vegetables
and so on. There is. however, a kind
of limitation to this rule which applies
more appropriately to the farm than to
the shop. A ship Is not considered we'll
equipped for commercial ventures that
depends upon q single anchor. In az
riculture one department may be made
auxiliary to another. In the pioneer
stages. where settlements arc small and
far apart, these must each be carried on
upon the same farm. Again, there are
years when certain crops are failure.
or partially so, either through climatic
or market irregularities. In such an
event diversity of crops is the sheet
anchor Of security against extreme hard
times. if not bankruptcy aud disso-
luton.
In some years. potatoes are loss on
account of blight, as this year. In
others. hay il unremuncrative. that is.
when there is wet season in California
and tho crop is superabundant there, as
is the case this year. Again. there are
heavy losses on hops, as was the case
last year. on account of over production
and fall of price, added TO the heavy
outlay required in preparation for this
business. This last is a comparatively
recent experiment in our local agricul-
ture. aud thus far has paid we'll in some
years. and promises we'll this year ON
account IT partial failures of the crop
III some of the heaviest producing dis
iricts In consequence many are think
ing OF setting out yards. There is dan
ger however. that If large number of
Cur farmers should incur tho expense OF
lighthouses and other fixtures. there
would be severe losses in future years
and heavy disasters.
Dairying Is probably the branch for
which our climate and soil are most
specially adapted for permanent profit
Next in order. we should place fruit
growing. And yet, strange to say. this
Is nh industry which has not yet been
assayed ~ an independent branch OF
farming. There is none for which our
advantages are better. and none which
promise larger profits If Systematically
undertaken and followed up. The ex-
penss for drying apparatus and neces-
sary fixtures is less than for hops. The
prodac. is not as perishab.e an article.
the market is large aud the demand
universal. Besides. prices fluctuate less
than for almost any other product. II

A Practical Objection to Telegraph
Poles.

A merchant going home elevated,
staggered against telegraph pole.
Beg your pardon, said he, Il hope
no offense. It's rather dark, and the
street is very narrow, you see-"
In few minutes he came in con-
tact with another pole.
Couldn't help it. SIR" said he, lift
ing his hat. Il never saw such crook
ed lanes as we have here in this city. "
Again he ran afoul of pole, this
time with force that sent him back
ward to the ground.
"Look here, neighbor, you needn't
push fellow down because he hap
pens to touch you; the road is as
much mine as yours, and 1 have as
much right here as you have, old
stick iD- the-mud.
Picked himself up and made an
other effort to reach home, but he
soon came plump against another
pole.
"Shan't make any more apologies. "
said he; "if you get into the middle
OF the street and stand in my way,
that's your look -out, not mine"
Proceeding on his journey again,
and becoming angry and dizzy. he
seemed to be entangled in an inextri-
cable labyrinth of telegraph poles.
which led him to make a general
speech.
Gentlemen, you are not doing the
fair thing. You do not give a man a
fair chance. You run from one side
of the street to the other, right in my
way"
Just then he met friend, and TAX
ing him by the hand, he said:
~There is a procession going along
this street, and every man is drunk;
they have been running against me
all the way from the club. knocked
one of the fellows down, and one of
the fellows knocked me down, and
then lot of them got around me.
and believe they would have kicked
me within an inch of life |. you had
not come To the rescue. Let US go
out of this street before the process
sion comes back, for they are all
drunk" - California Spirit of the
Times.
