Southern and central California, says
Mr.. Samuel Parnel are becoming dryer year
by year. The rain fall is steadily diminish
ing, and the desert is approaching still nearer
to the sea. Small groves of trees are disap.
pearing. The water of wells does not rise so
high us formerly, and there is decrease in
the flow Of artesian wells. The winters have
less rains, and comparatively little snow falls
upon the mountains, and it soon melts away.
Great river beds are seen through which
small brooks do not now run, and the climate
in summer upon the deserts possesses an
average temperature of from one hundred to
one hundred and forty degrees Fahrenheit,
equal to that of the great Sahara, and.Much
above that of India Persia and the Red Sea.
The evaporation OF southern ard central
California in summer is 025 of an inch in
twenty.four hours. These and other signs of
future utter sterlity be attributes to the
short tsighted removal of the forests since the
arrival of the white man.

WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT.'

Through the weary day on his couch he lay,
with the lIfe-tide cbbing slowly away,
And the dew on his cold brow gathering last
While the pendulum numbered "moments passed
And heard low voice Whispering say
/" When the tide goes out he will pass away,
Pray for u souls serene release,
That weary soul may rest III peace
When the tide goes out"
W hen the tide goes out from the soa-girt land,
II bears strange freight from the cleaning sand.
The whitc-winged ships that silent wall
For fayOring wave and u wini thatslaic,
The treasures cast on a rocky shore
From tho stranded ships that shall rail no more,
And hopes that follow the shining seas--
Oh the ocean widS shall win all these
When the tide goes out"
But Of all that drift from the shore TO the sea,
lB the human soul TO eternity
SaddCBt, most solemn Of ala soul
Passing where unknown waters roll
Floating away from the silent shore,
Like fated ship TO return no more
Where shall the surging currents tend
Slowly dividing friend from friend,
" When the tide goes out''
For one partin1 spirit pray, oh pray,
While the tide of life Is ehbing away,
That the soul may pass over summer seas
That casped Of old the lIesperdeS
In u barque whose sails by angel hands,
Shall be furlei on n strand Of golden sands
And the friends that stand on silent shore,
Know ing that we shall return no more,
Shall wish us JOY Of voyage fair,
With calm sweet skies and iayoring air,
"When the tide goes out "

How TO BURN A BARN.-It is the
easiest thing in the world if a few
simple directions are followed. Use
an old-fashioned tin lantern at night,
through whose roughly punched sides
only the minimum of light can pene-
trate, and whose door must necessarily
be open to enable you to see anything.
Set it down in the bedding while you go
up in the hay-loft to throw down feed,
and the chances are that your hungry
horses or frisky COWS will kick it over,
as Mrs. OLeary's did in the city Of Chi
cago, and set the barn on fire. If you
have not tin lantern, carry candle,
or open lamp, and use it in the same
way. If the night is windy, feel your
way out to the barn the best way you
can and light your candle inside with
matches, and let the match ends take
care Of themselves-they are small az
fairs anyhow. On rainy days make the
barn your rendezvous for smoking and
whiting, and talking politics with in
telligent neighbors who have leisure
hours on their hands as you have. Do
not be stingy with your pipes and to-
bacco, and keep plenty Of matches ly-
ing around loose, go they will be handy
to fire up with. A few social afternoons
spent in this way will, not unlikely, cna-
BILE you to get the barn burned.

The Best Thing Out.
Richmond ,ky.) Register.


Some of our exchanges have shown
themselves very sqeamish about the
whipping-post bill, and if one were to
judge from the outcry that has been
made against it in various quarters the
measure WAS intended only for editors
and negroes. People who are troubled
about the matter because it smacks toe
much of barbarism, and who prefer
that thieves should be sent to prison at
the expense Of honest taxpayers rather
than publicly whipped for their crimes,
are probably ignorant of the fact that
refractory prisoners in the penitentiary
are whipped by their keeper whenever
occasion demands. Sending prisoners
to the State prison is no substitute for
whipping. for at that institution they
are put at hard labor and also punished
with the stripes whenever occasion re-
quires it. The whipping-post will prove
a salutary measure, and it will do more
to abolish petty thieving than any
other prescribed punishment.

Maria Connolly keeps COW, or rather has
COW which keeps herself. Yesterday morn
ing Poundmaster Mitchell was out betimes
hunting for all such COWS as Mrs. C,nnelly's,
and he and his assistants had collected to-
gether goody number, and among them
Mrs. Connelly's COW, which he was driving
to the pound. On nearing the residence Of
Mrs. Connolly, that lady made her appear
ance, and, as Mitchell had experienced her
ability to stampede herd he called on his
assistants to keep the bovines we'll together
not to let them scatter. His precaution
was vain, however, for Maria fell among the
klne like a whole pack of
cayotes, and the cattle stampeded
like herd of Buffalo. Mitchell gently re-
monstrated with Mrs. Connolly, when she
lew upon him, and the buttons flew from
MS vest like shooting stars, and the cloth
ripped and tore like ships sail in a
white squall. The two Mitchell and Maria
fell, locked III each others arms, and as
they squirmed and rolled and kicked and
splurged the dust rose in cloud and OBJ
scured them from vision. Mitchel's assist
ants succeeded in separating the combatants,
and Mrs. Connolly was taken to the city hall.
and from thence to the municipal court.
Mitchell showed to his honor that this was
not by any means the first time that
Mrs. Connolly had scattered his
cows. judge Flint fined her
$5 and costs or week at the Good Shep-
herds, giving her till this morning at 8
o'clock to gather together the scrip. AS she
left the court Mitchell ruefuly suggested
that that was poor satisfaction for his tat
tered vest, barked nose and scratched face.

IS young curly headed gent, who has an

the Wlfe's guardian in Canterbury, Conn.
IN accordance with advice given him, the

OF the county relief society. By his advice,

to the Home of the Friendless. Mr.. Chase

there, he was informed that che had left

Ihey thought she was with him. Her trunk
and other baggage was with
them. The husband was thun-
derstruck. He rushed off frantical-

come to Chief Weber. The young man is
only 26 years old, and the wife, s.Oh, she is
so young-only 16. We were married three
weeks ago. can't imagine what has be-
come of her, he said. Then he almost
gave way to tears. He describes his wife as
tall, slender girl, young looking, only 16, and
green country girl? She had on black,
long cloak, gray overskirt, black dress,
black straw hat, with a red feather in it. He
entertains fears that the unsophisticated girl
may have been led astray, through her very
innocence. The chief got in word about
here, and learned the young fellows name
was Alfred F. Bates, and that the missing
bride was called Eliza If the child-wife is
anything like the boy-husband; they are a
pair far away from the tender and watchful
care of their parents. Detective Bresett
was given the duty of looking up the girl,
while the chief assuaged the grief of the
boy, and promised to take care of him.
