Perpetual Harvest.

We last week witnessed the queer
spectacle of a strawberry patch grow
ing in the open air week before
Christmas. The garden is located
about six miles above the town of So
quail, and about the same distance from
Santa Cruz. A Mr.. Thompson is the
owner of the ranch, and he informed
us that at any day or month in the
year he could go into the patch and
gather at least twenty quarts of the
luscious berries in short time. He
now has in cultivation 5000 vines,
which occupy half an acre of ground
and from these heha gathered dur
ing the past year 5000 quarts of the
large crimson beauties. Half of this
quantity he sold in the local markets at
all average Of twenty cents a quart,
and the other half he gave away to his
neighbors, as there was no demand
for them from buyers. Blossoms,
~reen and flaming red-ripe berries
smile and look sedate and blush side
by side the whole year through. on the
same vine. This certainly is equal, If
not superior, to the ancient anu tabled
land that flowed with milk and honey.
Now let us see if his crop pays him.
To start with, they are not as much
trouble to cultivate asa patch of string
beans would be; then at an average
of twenty cents a quart, the half
acre of ground would net him 5000
per year. Not only strawberries,
but this gentleman has also a fine
orchard of peach and other fruit trees
which are very promising.
''The baby has got a new tooth. but
tue old lady is laid up with
a cold in her head" remarked a gen.
tleman yesterday afternoon to q de-
feated candidate. 'tWhat the--do |

the gentleman slowly, ''before the
election you used to take me to one
side, and ask me how my family was
coming on. and I've been hunting you
all over town to tell you, and that 8 the
way you talk to me. But it don't make
any difference. voted for the other

JectlOnablo features may pass. There

possible combination has been made
with members made Of this house to Sc
cure the certainty Of it's passage. 1t is
intimated that gentlemen representing
the different railroad
interests have been ap-
preached and promised support for
their measures, if they will support
the text book bill. Members OF the
Senat ehave circulated freely among the
members Of this House. on several
days, earnestly urging upon members
to vote for this bill. Both of the

it. Now, l do not charge that these
newspapers expect any of the "hams.'

they have honestly come to believe
there is virtue in this proposed legisla.
ton, in regard to school text books.
But from the very nature OF things,
owing to the lack of experience
on school matters newspaper
editors cannot be as we'll
qualified to judge wisely in reference
to the details of school matters, as one
who has spent his whole life in study.

conditions that enter into the solution

has received from the IS county super.
intendents. The contractor is now
ready to send the books to the county
auditor. Let us take my own county
as an illustration. The office of the
auditor is to become a bookstore.
With no room to store books, and an
amount of work to perform daily,
which requires every moment Of his
time every day throughout the year !;
in addition to which he keeps two
clerks continually at work. There is
a bill now pending in each branch of
this legislature providing for reducing
the salaries of county auditors-yet,
this bill places an additional amount
of labor upon them, in many counties,
equal to the labor of an efficient clerk.
The auditor now having the books on
hand, in gross, for his whole county,
must begin to unpack, purchase boxes,
wrapping paper, Irvine, etc., and re-
pack his one hundred and fifty differ.
emit parcels, and send them off to the
district clerks. He must open /.
schOOl.b0Ok account with each district
clerk in order to keep his money mat.
ters straight. The bill makes no pro.
vision that either the auditors or the
district clerks shall give any bond for
the faithful discharge of their duties,
or for the surety that they will pay
over the money received for the sale
Of the books. The main trouble now
begins, at this point. There are near
ly, or quite, four thousand different
district clerks in this State, through
whose hands this revolving $50, OOO
school-book fund is to revolve. Gen.
tlemen, how much Of it do you think
will fail, in its annual revolution, to
reach the State treasury! Suppose
these 1000 district clerks, who are re.
quired to give no bond, are all perfect.
