WE should not be surprised II
California, after a long
d clay, should turn up as very
thorough treasure region. The
mines of San Diego county, con-
sidering the slender capital ap.
piled TO their development, have
made very crcditable record. San
Bernar dino county, in stretch of
territory which is almost two
thirds as large as that of Eng
land, has shown that she possesses
very valuable deposits. Ivanpah,
Bear Valley and Holcomb Valley
probably only need capital to
admit of the development of tre-
mendous deposits of gold aud sill
YER. Inyo county has long been
reli able producer of both the pre-
cious and base metals. Resting
Springs is also looming up as a
vie lder of bullion. Last and, we
be lieve, not least, is the Silverado
dis trict, in the southern portion of
Los Angeles county. We have
every reason, from the opinion of
experienced miners, to think that
we are just upon the eve of splen.
did local developments in a line of
treasure production for which Los
Angel county. has hitherto had
little reputation.

The Shah in Paris.

The Shah brought his own cook
with hiul, but, as he has few preju-
dices, and likes French cookery,
the services of this individual have
not been required since his Majes-
ty's arrival in Paris. From a SIM
liar appreciation Of other European
comforts, his Ambassador was Or
dered to inform Mr.. Vanhymbeck,
the manager Of the hotel, that it
would he esteemed favor If no
Persian furniture were placed III
the apartment, where the only in
novation on civilized customs is a
bed of cushions, destined for the
Ualet de chambre who guards his
slumters-this unfortunate official
is also intrusted with the duty of
keeping out intrusive visitors dur
ing the day, and will certainly
have his hands full. All the more
that, among the baggage Of the
monarch, are thirty six boxes,
three feet in length and two feet in
height, each containing eighty
pounds of gold coin, amounting in
all to the sum of 4,320,000 francs,
which are to cover his travelling
expenses. His suite consists of fif.
teen personages, and ten servants
from Teheran, to whom has since
been added the Persian Ambassa-
dor at st. Petersburg. All are ma
tlves, with the exception of DR..
Toloson, o French army surgeon,
who has been his Majesty's private
| physician since his accession to the
throne. There is also a Persian
newspaper editor, Mahomet Hassan
Kahn, director of the Teheran
Journal Official, and author of a
Geographical Dictionary of the
Kingdom of Persia. The way in
which the Shah takes his meals is
curious. Each dish is intended for
eight persons. The Shah eats
alone, and, after tasting, sends in
the dish to the seven highest digni-
taiies, who sit in the adjoining
room, and who consider it a great
honor to partake of the royal
leavings, at small table, near
which is sort of dresser, where
the less exalted officials take their
repasts. Eighteen employees Of the
hotel, and twelve police agents
from the Rue dc Jerusalem keep
watch and ward over the apart
ments, whose windows, on the out
side, are decked with trophies of
French and Persian flags. There
will be no pageants or parades
gotten up for his amusement on
this occasiOn; it is rumored that
unpaid bills and unfulfilled prom
| ises of decorations left an unfavOr-
able impression when he was here
before, so that he will scarcely be q
nine days wonder.

FROM Mr.. Ivar A. Weld we learn
that his crop of barley, though by
no means as large as he expected,
is nevertheless satisfactory. 1t is
probably only two-third, of the
yield of Los Angeles county in Or
dinary years, but then it is large
enough, withal, to carry joy to the
heart of an Eastern farmer. As
fuller reports reach us we are war
ranted in assuming that the grain
crop of Los Angeles county, through
the unusual area sown. will be the
largest ever harvested. This in
the face Of the fact that the barley
is unquestionably light and the
wheat has been extensively dam
aged. The Costa Ricans who, like
Sefior BadilIa, have been cultivat-
ing wheat extensively in the
Asuza have, without an exception,
superb crops. This is because these
sensible people were careful TO
search out and sow wheat suited
to the climate of Southern Califor-
mia.

WE have often been struck by
one popularity of our people. We
seem to take precious little account
Of developments in our midst which
would excite any other community
to enthusiasm. Just now splendid
petroleum deposits are being an-
earthed. We have also unmis-
takably stumbled on coal, which is
being sold In our streets. Mines
Of gold and silver of fine promise
are being developed. Three things
of this kind, in almost any other
sect ion, would excite the people to
q fine phrensy. And yet we take
it all with the utmost placidity.
We quietly allow companies to be
organized In the UP country to
bring our oil to the surface. AL
though fuel has been dear and
scarce hereabouts we are not in the
least elated by the discovery of
coal. AS for gold and silver, that
Is an old story to US, and has the
flavor Of a twice told and jejune
narrative. Really, this record is not
creditable to this community. We
should show that we sympathize
in development and that we are
ready to put our hands to the
plough share ourselves. Who
would be free themselves must
strike the blow" Who would be
rich must get down to the hard
pan of labor ard energy and help
things along. 1t is high time that

Sacramento Reco,d d. Union: At
East Park, young English gen.
tleman appeared to be much taken
with the tame black bear kept
there, and paid him much atten-
tion. Presently Bruin rose up on
his hind legs, as though willing to
receive any amount of petting, and
looked so good-natured that the
young gentleman from over the
seas thoughtessly stepped up and
put his arm around the animals
neck. This WAS new experience
for the bear, who resented the fa-
miliarity by turning his head and
giving the mans fingers a pretty
good bite. The Englishman did
not wait to be told to get away,

THE czAR's ESCAPE.
A Plan for His Murder Frustrated by sn
Act Of Psli.eness.
From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun
Both the Czar and his uncle, the
Emperor of Germany, have twice
narrowly escaped being shot; but
the deadliest and most nearly sue
cessful attempt upon the life OF the
former was of more insidious
kind and is still known to only Il
very few persons, even In Russia.
There is in the Winter Palace a
chair, fixed upon o. stand, original
ly constructed for the Gar Nicho-
las, who was wont to mount In this
fashion his Cabinet, on the third
floor of his palace. On one occa-
sion, after q state dinner, the pres
enJ 6zar, instead of taking his
seat in the chair as usual, offered
the place to lady of rank, who
had been the friend of his mother.
The Countess, flattered by the
compliment, took her seat at once;
but she had not risen many feet
when the chain snapped, and down
came the chair with a terrific
crash, fiinging out its occupant
upon the floor with broken limb
and other serious injuries. The
dismay of the company was ex-
treme, and all were loud in express
ing their thankfulness that the
Gar himself had so narrowly
escaped catastrophe, which,
however, no one looked upon in
any other light than that of a very
unfortunate accident. But one of
the Imperial pages, shrewd
young fellow, who had himself
witnessed the "accident," took the
earliest opportunity of examining
the broken chain, when he at once
perceived that 1t had been sawn
half through, close to the staple.
The announcement fell like a thun.
derbolt upon the assembled gran.
dees, and not moment was lost in
calling up the palace servants for
examination, when 1t was found
that foreign lackey, who had en-
tered the service some months be-
fore, and had, up to that time, an
excellent character, had unac-
countably disappeared. The affair,
however, was hushed up, and to
this day many persons who are ac-
quainted with the story consider
the whole occurrence either imag-
ination or purely accidental.

Kansas City Times: According to
Congressman Acklin's last state
ment, he had offered the widow
his hand in marriage before the
little affair at Welcker's. Then,
after the little affair at Welcker,s,
he proposed to her again, and was
again refused. From this we are
to infer that-the old maxim about
courting widows to the contrary
Observation-Disclosures little affair
at Welcker's did not in the least
advance his suit. But until the
widow herself makes O statement,
we shall never know whether his
second rejection was because he
carried the little affair at Welck-

push it far enough.
