The San Francisco Bulletin has written an
open letter to a young man of WaldOboro,
Me, who wrote TO inquire what the chances
were OF his succeeding if he went to Califor-
MIA and the answer made to the question is
one which is worthy Of extended circulation,
as it applies in part not only to California.
but TO the entire country. The Bulletin says
If the applicant has trade, and is not afraid
to work hard that there is an exceedingly
good chance of his getting along, and in time
of his making money. The state is as yet
unsettled, i'll the sense that it could without
trouble support several million people, and
hence there is an abundance OF room for
those who come to be a part of the bone and
sinew Of the community. But for unskilled
labor, or for those without capital who de-
sire light work in offices, there is not the
least demand, the supply being already far in
excess of all possible requirement for a long
time TO come. The Bulletin therefore advises
its questioner, if lie belongs to this latter
class to stay where he is, without he is so
fortunate as to arrange i'll advance for some
position which he can enter into as soon as
he arrives on the Pacific slope. The advice
is good, and can be given at present to those
living III the country who are thinking Of
going III search of employment to any Of our
large cities. Until one has tried it, he can
form no idea Of how hard it is to find en-
ployment for men who arc simply unframed
laborers. Now matter how willing they are,
there is little that they can do and for this
little there is a host of competitors. Those
who are fairly educated, who desire to enter
stores and Offices find that they have to take
their chances with young men who, for the
purpose of acquiring a knowledge of the
business, are willing to serve for two or three
years without pay. If they possess some
special training, can sell boots and shoes, or
sort wool, or understand the rudiments of any
one Of hundred forms of business, their
chances are immensely improved; but the
tendency of the times is to make all men
specialists, that is, that they should, in or
der to get along WELL understand some par
tcular art profession or craft. The period
when young man could come green from
the country and ind his way speedily to the
top of the mercantile ladder, has long since
passed away, never to return.

On the Fourth the Baptist Sunday school
invited the Methodist school to picnic at
IAmson's grove. The day was ushered in at
midnight by ringing of bells, etc. Mr.. Geo.
Hall had the care of the cannon, and no acct

casson of military Horribles from the way of

His Ear in His Pocket.

From the Oil City Derrick Oct 10
Yesterday a small boy with his head
bandaged entered a bookstore and said
he wanted to buy some school-bcoks. As
the clerk was waiting on him he inquired
the reason his customers head was tied
up in such shape.
ooh" responded the boy, in matter
of-fact way, "a horse bit off my ear this
morning."
"No! SAID the clerk, doubtingly;"w
was the trouble, anyway"
II tell you he did bite it Off" the lad
said. with some warmth, "and I can prove
it too. Just you look here now,' and
reaching down into his pocket he drew
forth a wad of newspaper sooked with
blood and slapped it down on the counter.
A crowd formed around the little fellow
who with great gravity and pardonable
bit OF triumph proceeded to unwrap the
unsavory mass. Then he pulled forth
CHASTITY relic In the shape of human ear
evidently torn out by the roots There
didn't tell you so,' he cried exultingly
"He fetched it out on the first nip" The
boy gave his name as Eagan, and said he
lived on the Clapp farm. while work.
ing IN the barn the horse reached his
head over the side of the stall, caught
the little fellows ear in his teeth and
chewed it off. Having thus delivered
himself, the lad carefully rewrapped his
precious ear, thrust it IN his pocket and
departed.

The Largest Plant in the World.

We are accustomed to regard the great
trees of California as the most gigantic
specimens of vegetable growth known to
man, but such is not the case. There is a
submarine plant growing in the North
Pacific Ocean, which, according TO Pro-
fessor Reinsch, dwarfs all others in its
vasts proportions. The Mac1ocystis pyri-
fsrn, one OF the Mclanosperm@, has been
known to grow to such an extent as to
cover vast areas of the ocean bed. One
specimen by measurement was found to
coUer three square miles and the stem from
which the growth preceded was eight
feet in diameter. 1t is almost impossible
to conceive o: such a plant, or how
system of nourishment can be maintained
through such extended channels in the
living organism. Nature performs
strange freaks, and certainly none can be
stranger than the fact that of this gigantic
species there are some specimens SO
small as to be microscopic or only to be
seen by the aid of powerful detectives.

welcome and hearty praise which awaited
them at their own hearthstones, and from
grateful people who stayed at home.
But John Hampshire came not. Then
Mrs. Hampshire became impressed
with the belief that she was a widow,
and after waiting seven weary wears
more, Mr.. Adam Dyer, carpenter in
well-to do circumstances, residing in
Norristown, offered his heart and hand
to the supposed widow. The offer was
accepted and the twain were made one
flesh. A few days ago, according to the
SchWenksville Weekly Item, the long lost
husband made his appearance in Wor-
cester, dressed in fine clothes, and is said
to be worth 100000.
ut now remains disputed question. y
says the same authority, whether her
former husband can claim her as his law
tul wife, now that they have been parted
tor so many years."
Inc case is remarkable one, and the
only factor lacking to render it a cele.
DRAFTED out-and-out Enoch Arden sensa-
ton IS the presence Of the long-lost hus-
band, with or even without his fortune
OF 100000. The fact is James has not
turned up yet, or if he has he has not
done his former partner the honor of
even friendly call, much less to st;ques-
tlon whether he can claim her as his
lawful wife"
Ills former wife read the story, and
has made every effort possible to ascer-
tain the locality Of the "long lost;" but,
