The Biggest Farm i'm the World.

During the night we passed through
the property Of Messrs. Muller and Lux,
the most extensive real estate owners in
the valley. Here is farm seventy
three miles in length by twenty in
width. If a poor man owned 100 acres
Of it, it would be worth nothing to him,
as part of it is swamp land about Lake
Tulare which he could not drain, and
part Of it is a desert sand, which he
could not irrigate But to these CAPT
talists 1T IS valuable, because the two I'M
productive parts are made to fructify
each other by means Of canals. At pres
ent, hlleengaged in this enterprise, they
content themselves with raising few
thousand acres Of alfalfa, and with
the pasturage Of their $4,000 head OF
cattle and 10000 sheep. One single
straight fence on this property is seven
ty-three miles long.
Now, this has the appearance of
gobbling up land" But when the
small number Of inhabitants and the
vast area OF territory in the state are
considered, and especially when the re-
suit OF. this speculation is inevitably di-
vision after Improvement, preparatory
to cultivation, it will be seen that the
gobbling is for the general good. Con
sulting the early history of New York
and New England, we find that the ter
ritory was coded by the crown in
patents to a few individuals. Property
there has been divided and subdivided,
until 100 acres is considered to be a
large farm. So in future it will be here.

DIDN'T Go TO THE CIRCUs.-After the
circus parade yesterday two small boys
met on the street. One of them, his
face glowing with excitement, said:
"Oh, Johnny! did yer see the Teller
with the snake around his neck?"
No word from Johnny.
f" Yer seen the man in the lions cage,

No word or sign from Johnny, save
and except cloud upon his brow.
"Wen, yer seen the ponies with the

last, bursting into tears Il had to stay

Wife and Home.

Servians are not remarkably patriotic
they are too faithful as husbands, lover:
and fathers to become good soldiers.
A man was once brought to Tchernaveff,
a Russian general, charged with having
cut off two of his own fingers in order to
render himself unfit for service. The
soldier denied that he had himself per-
formed the act Of standardization, but
subsequently admitted that a comrade
had served him only too faithfully in the
matter.
And you were not ashamed" asked
the general, to abandon the field when
the Turks are on the soil of our father
land?"
Excellency," replied the soldier. Il
am quite willing to fight the Turks, but
| wanted to see my home again "
'Slndeed!' said the commander-in-ch
well, you shall have a long leave ofab-
sence: Say your prayers. You will be
shot this moment"
The phantom was drawn out, and the
man, who was really no coward, and
would have willingly died in defense of
his home, made the sign Of the cross, and
was stepping in front of his executioners
without a word, when he suddenly
stopped, as if he had forgotten some
thing, then walked up to the general,
and, placing in his hands few pieces of
money, said:
. To be given to my wife after--''
" Go and take them to her yourself!''
blurted out Tchernayeff, whose eyes are
said to have filled with tears,
The man was of course pardoned. He
seems to have been a veritable type of
his countrymen, who cannot understand
why SO many men should sacrifice all
Snat earth holds dear simply that anoth-
er may play at royalty.

The ABANDONMENT of the Eureka
Quartz Mine of Grass Valley, California,
after a gross production of 81, 52S, 254,
and the payment of $2,094,000 in divi-
dends for the eleven years ending Sep
TENDER Both, 1886, is a recognition of
the theory that there is little probability
Of finding geld IN quartz claims outside
Of pay chutes. All the gold of the
Eureka was taken from one pay chute,
which has been exhausted to the bound
airy line, where the chute runs into the
Idaho, and IN that mine it has yielded
100000; and as the Eureka is sup
posed to have produced nearly 100000
before October, 1865, the total yield of
that one pay chute has been, perhaps,
100000.

SOMETIME.

Sometime we say and turn our ewes
Toward the fair hi Is Of Paradise:
Some day. some time a sweet new rest
Shall blossom, fower-like in each breast
Some time, come day our eyes shall see
The faces kept In memory;
Some day their hands shall clasp our hands.

Some day our ears shall hear the song
OF triumph over sin and wrong.

That some tir3e all things shall be,
And rest be given to you and me-
SO let us wait, though years move slow.

The DEVILS Daughters.

Our special correspondent With Gen
Howard writes that the wounded were
fearfully tortured and mutilated by the
Nez Perces squaWs on the Big Hole bat
tie ground The soldiers had taken the
Indian village, but being overpowered
by numbers they were obliged to fall
back and fight their way to position
on the side Of the mountain which the
enemy had already taken possession Of
They had a desperate encounter but car
ried the point, and Immediately dug
trenches with their troWel bayonets In
the mean time the wounded had been
left on the bottom Of the creek, and
while the bucks set fire to the grass and
tried to burn the little band Of soldiers
out Of their trenches, the squaws hang-
led and tortured the poor fellows who
were still alive but unable to help them
selves The atrocities perpetrated upon
the helpless boys in blue by these She
devils can hardly be realized by any
one unaccustomed to tales of savage
barbarity. They heated their camas-
hooks red-hot and then thrust them
into the bodies of the wounded; mang-
led them in every conceivable manner
and slowly tortured them to death in
ways known only to red devils. Early
in the action a bugler, mere boy, was
wounded in both legs. One Of his COM
rades carried him off the field and then
returned to the fight, the bugler saying
that he would rest there few minutes
and then try and walk off to place Of
safety. The Indians got possession Of
the creek and bottom land, the squaWs
discovered, mutilated him and burned
both his eyes out. The boys sufferings
can be imagined, and death was certain
ly welcome relief to him..
