than an hundred fold. Mr.. Meri-
thew, a farmer of this county, being
on a visit to Surprise Valley, OBJ
tanned some few seeds of the grain
and succeeded in propagating it
with wonderful success on his farm
in Butte county. The straw and
beardless head resemble wheat the
grain looks little like rye, but is
twice as large as rye. When cut as
it is passing into the milk it makes
hay even superior to wheat hay.
Mr.. Merithew has on hand several
tons of hay from this new variety
of grain, and perhaps five bushels
of its seed. He gave about two
quarts of the seeds to one of our
citizens lately visiting Butte county,
who was struck with the wonderful
beauty of this new cereal, and
brought it to South California for
propagation. Thomas r. Bard has
taken the seed and proposes to give
it thorough test upon the rich
alluyial lands Of the Colonia Ran
cho, near the seashore. 1t could
not have fallen into the hands Of q
more intelligent or painstaking cul.
tivator. 1t appears to us every way
superior to rye, and may prove tC
be of great utility, as it is a flint
grower and very productive.

Encouraged by the success of
"The DaniteS," Mr.. Joaquin Miller
set about writing another play. He
soon completed o modern society
drama, intended to illustrate fash.
ionable life in this city. 1t did not
contain, like "The Danites," as it
came from his hands, matter enough
to occupy two evenings in stage
representation, for he had learned
something by experience; but it
was not liked by the managers who
read it, and there isno promise that
it will soon be presented to the pub
lie. Mr., Miller next went back to
Western life for material for a third
play, and this effort ia regarded as
successful. He has Just finished

1t was sorry sight the last few
hours of the weeks walk. Hag-
gard, dszed, staggering O'Leary,
his arms no longer knitted in pc
destrian form and braced with mus
cular strength, were limp and al
most helpless. His legs were swol-
len. He went his miserable round
in evident pain, though $4,000 peo-
pie cheered him as he scored the
800 miles. Vaughan had for two
days been suffering from internal
disturbance of a weakening char
acter, and his legs we're chafed until
they were raw. He suffered tor
nents, but he went on until 1880
on Saturday night, and retired at
the solicitation of his friends, when
he had scored 500 miles. 0'Leary
at that time was 10 miles ahead,
and he determined upon making
his record in round numbers $40
miles, beating, it is said, all his
achievements on both sides of the
Atlantic. His pluck is undeniable,
and the vast crowd acknowledged it
in hearty demonstrations, the band
playing him out Of the arena to the
tune of "See the Conuuerinp Hero
Comes" A few disaffected Irish
men pretended to think there was
going to be disturbance because
IO'Leary won, but there never was
the slightest indication of an uuru-
| ly opposition. Some of the specta-
tors thought 0'Leary had an undue
advantage given to him in a track
to himself, and there is no doubt
this was greatly in his favor; but
the sporting men of London have
shown so often their appreciation
of pluck and skill, utterly regard
less of nationality, that they should
be spared the mere suggestion on
the part Of olicious friends Of
O'Leary that they meant to demon
strate against him. He had more
than fair play shown to him; he
had privileges and advantages de-
MED to his opponents, but the vast
crowd of lOokerS-on showed no
signs that they begrudged him his
triumph, He conducted himself
with mOdesty, and he Walked in 2
style only equalled by Vaughan
smong the entire crowd Of his op-
ponents.

The Rev. Il. 4. Hale has written
letter concerning the loud voices
of American women, IN which he
says: 81 remember at the great
dining saloon of the Bauer au Lac
Hotel, in Zurich, both the largest
and finest dining hall ever saw,
when 500 people were dining at
once at their different tables, / could
single out my own countrywomen
in all parts of the hall, no matter
what their distance, by the shrill
yell, more or less nasal, with which
they summoned the walters, ordered
soup, asked for a napkin, or passed
from pastry to ice.cream, After
the general roar of the buzz.bnrr-
buzz of 500 voices in conversation
you could distinguish the war cry
of these eight or ten American
women as you distinguish signal
rockets at night above long and
dark line Of intrenchments. A
casual observer would have no diff.
Guilty in telling, at the end of the
day, how much pastry these women
ate, or how often their plates were
changed" He ascribes these loud
voices to the custom of making lit
tie girls "read up" in schools, and
thinks that school children should
not read any louder thau they
would naturally talk.
