The Betting Mania i'm California.

Californians have an inherent, inordl-
nate desire for betting. 1t almost amounts
to a mania. If they are not disposed to
fight ye tiger play poker. or bet their coin
on any game of chance, they are sure to
exhibit their propensity for betting in
some way, and they will go their whole
pile on anything, no matter how prepos-
ferrous. "I'll bet you $40 that mans name
is Sneider,n said one Californian to anoth-
er as a man who was an utter stranger to
both passed by. ats a CO." said his
companion. Inquiry wss made, and the
wager lost by the man who proposed it.
Up in one of the mountain towns stage
coach tipped over, and, it is related, as
the passengers went tumbling down
rocky elnbankment into gulch, fellow
shouted: "I'll bet the drinks for all of us
that half of US get killed" The bet was
taken, but the casualties were not fatal.
A doctor reported that well known citi-
zen who was at the point of death would
not live twenty minutes longer. I'll bet
S. that he will, said one of his friends.
The wager was accepted, and the stakes
were scarcely put up when the report
came that the man was dead. do you
give it up?" asked the man who won
mo- was the reply; "I'll now bet $40
that he isn't dead" The bet was taken
and about that time the doctor reappear
ed. us the man dead, doctor2'' the ques
ton was asked "Yes, dead as Julius
Cesar 'sThen I've lost again )" was the
reply ''Now I bet $50 that he won't go
into five foot six coffin. I want TO
get square if / cam | could give other
illustrations of this betting mania which
have come under my observation fully as
assured, but these must suffice. The bet
ting is not confined to any class or ma
tionality 1t is characteristic of all Cali
fornians, from the oldest to the youngest.

fessional gambling fraternity is numerous

Batter. Cheese. amt Eggs.

The fifth annual convention of the ma
tional butter, cheese and egg association met
at Chicago on the 9th inst, and was chilled to
order by President Harvey Shrever, of Balti-
more. Charles Randolph, secretary OF the
board Of trade, delivered the address of well
come. He enumerated the benefits which the
associate on had secured to the public, alluded
to the great and growiug export business Of
this industry, and extended - Nrty welcome
to all delegates. Vice President R0rick, OF
WAGON, Ohio, responded. About fifty men,
bers of the Boston produce exchange are in
attendance. Representatives of four Boston
newspapers accompany the delegation. Some
800 delegates in all are present. Delegations
from Boston, Philadelphia, New York, balti-
more, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati and St,
Louis were reported present. Among the
delegates were many dairymen and manu-
facturers. A. 4. Kennard, of Baltimore
chairman of tn. committee on statistics, made
an interesting report Colonel Littler, the
secretary, delivered an address of great in
tcrest, demonstrating from facts and figures
that the interests fostered by the association
were not less important than those of any
other he showed that the entire product of
the dairy and consumption of poultry and
eggs aggregated in value 5000, 100000 per an

The Sacramento Food.

a correspondent of the California asso-
ciatcd press, who has assembled the Sacramento
river to Monroeville, 100 miles above Sacra-
mentO, telegraphs that for the entire distance,
the country presents the appearance of con
tinuous sea. On both sides of the river, not
five thousand acres of land along the river for
the whole distance have escaped the flood. The
river is now falling rapidly, and vast tracts of
wheat land are making their appearance, much
of (which may be saved if drying north winds
follow the recent continued storms. Between
Sacramento and Monrocvillc there arc about
80 breaks in the levces. DR.. eileen, a large
farmer in Colusa county, lost %, 600 sheep and
ak thousand acres of wheat by the flood. The
main wheat lands Of COlusa county are five
miles from the river and are safe. About 10
per cent. of the wheat crop of that county is
ruined, and about the same amount damaged.
The loss between Sacramento and MonroeviIle
in lcvees, buildings, stock and crops, will reach
100000, besides a decrease in the value OF
property in some localities. There is however,
aprOspect of an enormous harvest, and much
sediment has been deposited, which will renew
he land where worn out by continuous crop
ping. The food has caused comparatively
ew cases OF personal suffering and want

NEWS OFTHE WEEK.
English Grain Trade.

The Mark Lane Express says the peace
prospects, the fairly abundant granary stocks
and heavy anticipated arrivals, both from
America and Southern Russia have combined
10 reduce the wheat trade to lamentable
state Of depression. During the past week
the inactivity has been such that in the alb
seDce of sales, il has been a matter Of some
difficulty to record the huctuation in prices.
That the withdrawal of the prop which the
uncertain aspect of political matters furnish
ed to the grain trade would depress values was
anticipated; but the concession of a shilling
TO two shillings per quarter has failed TO i'm
prove the demand for wheat which it might
be expected 10 have done. Having regard to
the low state into which the millers have al
lowed their stocks to run all over the king
dom, an explanation is probably to be found
in the fact that supplies in prospective are too
heavy to allow the concession offered to have
much weight, and until some definite idea can
be formed of the amount OF wheat this eoun-
try may expect from Odessa, Nicolieff and
other southern Russian ports, millers viii
only buy from hand to mouth. That the ae-
emulation of grain in the Black Sea ports is
large cannot be doubted for one moment, but
we think large proportion win be found to
consist of low class and badly conditioned,
as the demand for transport during the war
obliged inland grainers to store as best they
might on the spot, where of course the apPli-
ances for keeping grain in good condition in
granary for so long period would be TO a
great extent inefficient There is a dragging
trade for feeding corn, barley, maize and oats,
all receded six pence to one shilling per quar-
ter with very little business. With moderate
aritals off the coast the floating cargo trade
for wheat raised steady without quotahle
change in values. Maize fairly steady. Bar

Choking.

Choking is 10y no means uncommonto the
horse. 1t may arise from various causes
from the existence of tumors, or the re-
suit of strangles. But choking proper is
caused by the impaction of food in The
pharynx, or in the gullut just below it,
when the "high choke can be recognized
When choking results from stoppage ia
the position above named, the animal
gives evidence of great suffering, dis
charge flows from the nostrils, and froth
appears over the mouth and lips; the eyes
assume a contested and anxious express
sion, the breathing becomes laborious, te-
tanic SYMPTOMS of the neck are associated
with efforts to vomit, and give evidence
that the attempts of the horse to remove
the offending impaction are futile. But
relief must be afforded, and that quickly,
if life is to be preserved, which can be
attempted by placing a balling iron in
the mouth, and then by passing the hand
to the pharynx, when sometimes the OBJ
struction can be reached and brought
away with the fingers: at other times it

across the neck, or rasped across the face

was legislative enactment either to hang
clothes-lines sixty feet above the earth, or

prehensible fact that clothes line is al

know. We only know that it is so, and
that it is an appalling evil. No home
circle is safe where this custom prevails.

the nostrils; when an attempt Is made to

among the well-to-d do patients, for, in the
Royal Edinburgh Asylum, where this
disparity strongly comes out, there is
even higher percentage of insanity from
this cause among the private than the
pauper lunatics. The history of the daily
mode OF life of many members of the
Stock Exchange would reveal, in the
matter of diet, an amount
of alcoholic inhibition in the form of
morning "nips,n wine at luncheon and
it dinner, difficult to realize by many of
less porous constitutions, and easily ex-
| planning the disasterous results which in
many instances follow. sooner OF later, as
respects disturbances of thu nervous sys-
| TEN, in one form or other. In fact, by
the time dinner is due the stomach is in
| despair, and its owner finds it necessary
to goad lost appetite by strong spirits
ending with black coffee and some liquor.
When either dyspepsia or over business
work Is set down as the cause of the in
sanity of such individuals it should be
considered what influence the amount of
alcohol imbibed has exerted tfpon the
final catastrophe, as well as the assigned
cause. But whatever may be the relative
amount of insanity produced among the
atfluent and the poor, Of this there can be
no doubt, that certain men.al causes OF
lunacy, as overstudy, and business wor-
| ny. produce more insanity among the
upper than the lower classes. P0puldr
