A Bear in a Chorus.

Mr.. G. H. Beach, of this place, on his
return from Oregon a week ago, brought
Il five months old cinnamon bear, weigh
ing about IS pounds, which has been of
great attraction to young and old peO-
pie. He has been under good training,
and is full of FRANKS and play. Last
evening about 8 o'clock, Mr.. Beach re-
turned with fine deer after a days
hunt, and finding the St. Helena mu-
steal association in full blast in his par
Tor, he walked out to his bear pen,
lOosened his pet and let him directly
into his house and parlor in the midst
of Il fine chorus of a dozen singers. A
general stampede took place, some into
corners, Others behind the door, under
the piano and out of the room. But
when the ladies and gentlemen saw Mr..
Beach holding him by bis forepaws,
walking him around ON his hind feet,
and then set him up on his hind parts,
pointing out the hanging pictures on
the wall to him, confidence was restor-
ed, and before he was. allowed to bow
his good night, he had sung his little
song with the piano and shaken hands
with every lady in the room. As he
was about to take his exit, he discover
ed bouquet in a vase on the centre
table, and raising up he put one paw
on the table and with the other took
the bouquet from the vase, smelled it..
then dropped it on the carpet and fol-
lowed Mr.. Beach out of the house to his
pen. "Baby," as he is called, is really
bright and intelligent pet.--St. Hele-
ma (Cal.,) Star.

Tomatoes and Cancers.

Whether tomatoes either cause OF
hasten the progress of that dreaded
disease, cancer, your correspondent
will give the facts in relation to two
cases in this town: The first is that OF
a lady now afflicted with cancer, who
has always been very fond of tomatoes,
and has eaten them freely until her
cancerous trouble began. She cannot
touch or handle tomato or tomato
vine without causing her hands to
swell violently; if she attempts to eat
IA tomato her lips swell badly and her
mouth is made sore. When her cancer
was worse than it now is, it was said to
resemble a tomato, cut in two. The
other instance was in the case of man
that lately died of cancer, who was af-
fected very nearly the same by tOma-
toes, as is the lady mentioned. Will
some one who has looked into this mat
ter tell the public what he knows
about the effect of tomatoes in prOduc-

Just Like a Boy.

In corner grocery in the western part
of the city, the other day, boy was
buying shot and getting ready to GO
hunting. His old gun was lying around
rather loose, and the grocer nervously
remarked;
'Boy, wish you'd take care of that
gun-Pm afiaid of an accident"
The boy stood it up against barrel
and went on telling how many rabbits
he meant to pepper, and pretty soon it
came near falling to the floor.
81 tell you that internal thing will
hurt some of us yet !" exclaimed the
grocer as he jumped aside, and the boy
leaned it against the counter and said
he'd never take back-seat for bear
newer. AS he reached over to look
at some buck-shOt, down tumbled the
gun and off went the charge, sending
about 40 duck-shot into 10 gallon oil
can in range.
"There she goes-there she goes p

would go off"
"And did l deny it ~ promptly re-

Lincoln Emancipation Group.

A highly interesting service was per-
formed in Boston week before last, in
the unwilling and dedication of the
Lincoln Emancipation Group, present
ed to the city by Hon. Moses Kimball,
and erected in Park Square. The
group is a duplicate of that in Lincoln
Park, Washington city, which was ded-
icated April Ia, 1876, it being designat-
ed as the ''Freedmen's memorial Mon
ument." Its history, in part, is told by
the inscriptions upon the group at
Washington. On the front il reads:
'FREEDMEN's MEMORIAL.
''In grateful memorial of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, this monument was erected
by the Western Sanitary Commission
of St. Louis, Missouri, with funds con-
tributed solely by emancipated citizens
of the United States, declared free by
his proclamation, January l, A. ID.
1868.
1.-THE first contribution of five dol
lars was made by Charlotte Scott, a
freed woman of Virginia, being her
first earnings in freedom, and cOnse-
Grated by her suggestion and request,
on the day she heard of President Lin
coins death, to build monument to
his memory"
On the reverse:
"And upon this act, sincerely believ-
ed to be an act of justice, warranted by
the constitution upon military neces-
sity, invoke the cOnsiderate judgment
of mankind, and the gracious favor of
Almighty God"
The group comprises two life-size
hat of ant
Lincoln standing erect, and the other
that of powerful slave, with his
shackles stricken off, bowling at the
feet of his liberatOr. The latter, in
stead of an ideal slave, is the figure of
a living man the last slave ever taken
up in Missouri under the fugitive slave
law, and who was rescued from his
captOrs under the orders of the provost
marshal of st. Louis. His name was
Archer Alexander, and his condition of
sci vitude legally continued until the
emancipation act became the law of
the land. A Photographic picture was
sent to the artist, who has given both
the face and manly bearing of the ne
gro. The ideal group is thus convert
ed into the literal truth of history with
out losing any of its artistic conception
or effect. The group stands on a tri-
angular plat of ground in front of the
Providence railroad station. A we'll
laid curb and sidewalk of pressed brick
surround the plat. Inside the sidewalk
the foundation of the group is raised
two and half feet and surrounded by
Il heavy granite containing stones.
Around this is bronze railing. With
in it is the group. Two steps of gran
lite are ut the base, and then comes the
heavy Octagonal die upon which the
group stands. This is solid block of
red polished granite, and weighs about
sixteen tons. No inscription is on this
die. On the front of the base, in heavy
raised polished letters, are the words
"A race set flee and the country at
peace. Lincoln rests from his labors."
On the back, in raised unpublished let
tiers, is: "Given to the city of Boston
by Moses Kimball, 1879"
The dedication services were COM
pleted at Faneuil Hall, where Mayor
Prince made an appropriate eulogy of
President Lincoln, and Andrew Cham
berlin, a Latin school colored boy,
read poem prepared for the occasion
by John G. Whittier.

Casting Care Upon the Lord.
BY MARGARET E. sANGsTER.

Nobody can spend a morning in
bright, busy New York without seeing
a great many carewOrn faces. You meet
them everywhere. In the street cars,
on the ry-bOats, and in the crowded
stores, people look as though they were
carrying burdens. Sometimes l think
the only really happy faces belong to
children, and to aged men and women.
The first are still in that part of life
where they are not obliged to think for
themselves. Their parents and teach
ers direct them, and provide for their
wants. The second have been taught
in the school of God, and have gone
into the graduating class. BY expert
ence, they have learned to hope, and
the hope that maketh not ashamed illu-
mines their cOuntenances, If they are
Christians. But all the way from youth
through middle life and onward, there
are those to whom the world is a great
battle ground, and every day IA conflict.
This man fears he is about to lose his
situation, nd-without it, how can he
pay his rent This other is afraid he
cannot meet the premium on his life
insurance, and so the savings and self
family left unprovided for, if he dies.
That man with the tired eyes and drawn
look about the mouth, is in the whirling
tide of a fierce temptation. Unless God
strengthen him, he may yield to the
DEVILS whisper, which is even now
paralyZing conscience, and binding him
to right and honor.
That sweet-faced woman is going to
her baby's grave. Two short weeks ago
she was so happy that no trouble could
have been anything but light, she
thought. A nights illness, and the dar-
ling child was gone, and now the sky
and the sunshine, the music and the
laughter in the world are all mockery
to her. The lady sitting next her in the
car, for in one narrow street car all
these types, and more, may be found,
has just come from the physicians
knowing that she is the victim of an in
durable malady. All how much sorrow
and care there is all around us /! How is
it to be borne?
1t could never he borne but for the
pity and the love of God. Why should
we cast our care on him Simply be-
cause he careth for us. There is no grief
which depresses us, no anxiety which
perpleXes, no embarl assment which
disturbs, that our heavenly Father does
not know of. He may not remove the
trial, but he will, if we seek him trust
fully, give us strength to bear it.
think, no matter how shadOwy our
paths, when we get hold of the happy
secret of truly casting our care on the
Lord, we cannot help carrying some
sunshine in our looks. Do we not too
often go the place of prayer, and lay the
burden down, only to pick it up again
and try to carry it ourselves, when we
come away ? This is not casting it, as
with strong effort, upon One, who has
said that his grace shall be sufficient
unto all our need.-American Messen-
ger.

What the Earth is Round Like.

A worthy cure of Auvergne, than
whom there we're many cleverer if no
better men, having forgotten the exor-
dunn of his sermon one fine day, could
think of nothing better to begin with
than this sentence: dearly beloved
brethren, the earth We live on is round
round like an egg,p and then he wan
dered all over creation, pronounced the
benediction and dismissed them.
After the services the sexton told him
he had made blunder. "YouI rever-
ence, he said, preached that the
world is round like an egg. An egg is
not round, it's oval. You should have
said that the earth was round like a

Orange Raising in Southern California.

Southern California is best known to
the world on account of its extensive
orange groves. The most casual OBJ
server visiting this section must be i'm
pressed with its adaptability for the
cultivation of the orange and kindred
fruits. And while recent experience
with deciduOus fruits has demonstrated
that the apple, the pear, the peach and
other trees of this character are equally
at home in this sunny south of the
Pacific coast, public attention for some
time to come will associate orange pro-
duction in California with this favored
region. The orange tree may be seen
tiOurishing alike in the yard attached
to the adobe dwelling of the native
California labOrer, and in the ernamen-
tai garden of the wealthy capitalists.
There are orange orchards of one or two
acres and orange orchards of fifty or
one hundred acres. 1t may he remarked
that orange cultivation is generally I'M
derstoOd to apply to the whole citrus
family. There are found in nearly every
orange orchard specimens of lemon
and lime, but the orange predominates.
Oranges have been cultivated in southern
California for over one hundred years.
There are many trees known to be over
20 years old. The cultivation of the
orange is almost coeval with the estab-
lishment of the missions by the old
Spanish padres, to whom we are indebt-
ed for the first rays alike of Christianity
and the PRONUNCIATION of the civilization
prevalent in Spain during the middle of
the last century. Although orange cul-
ture has been practiced in southern
California for more than century, it is
only within the last five or six wears
that anything like an organized system
of cultivation has been followed. After
the publication, few years since, of
the Colour de rose articles in book,
magazine and pamphlet form upon this
country there was a regular boom in
orange growing. Regardless of the fact
that the orange takes from IL to Is
years to mature, the new corners set to
work planting out orange orchards.
Some persons estimate that nearly a
million of trees were set out; but since
no statistics from actual investigation
have been gathered, it is reasonable to
expect the high estimates are incorrect.
There is a general concurrence of testi-
mOny that over half a million of orange
trees have been planted within the last
few years. But the hope long deferred
which maketh the heart sick has caused
many who entered into the business full
of aspiration for success to abandon it.
The neglected or deserted orchards,
which are occasionally met in this sec
ton, tell the tale of embarking into an
allurlng business without counting the
whole cOst.-San Francisco Bulletin.
