A Pestiier0us Weed.
[stockton Independent.l |

A weed, commonly known as
wild morning glory (Convolyulus),
Is causing very serious annoyance
to some OF the farmers on the Cal
averas bottom lands, few miles
northeast from Linden, San
Joaquin county. The weed is trail
ing plant and twines itself around
corn, and even coils itself, anacon-
da fashion, around stalks of wheat,
TO the great detriment and some-
times to the utter destruction Of
the growing crop. All efforts thus
far to eradicate the troublesome
plant have proved unavailing. A
few acres of the land where the an
noying plant had taken possession
almost to the exclusion of every
thing else, were rented some time
ago to company of Cinnamon,
who carefully and thoroughly
spaded up the soil, gathering
up every particle of the weed
that they could find, deposited the
pest in sacks, carried it off the
land, dried it thoroughly and then
consumed it by fire, hoping thereby
to eradicate it completely from the
soil; but instead of destroying the
nuisance, their laborlous efforts ap-
peared to have the effect of propa-
eating and invigorating the weed.
The land which had been so care
iully spaded and thoroughly titled
produced one of the most luxuriant
crops of the Wild Morning Glory
probably ever before seen in any
part of the San Joaquin Valley.
What to do in order to get rid of
the pestiferou' thing has become u
serious consideration on the part Of
the farmers in that neighborhood.
The soil is deep and rich in that
section, and it is to be hoped that
tillers of the soil can soon discover
and apply some method of remov-
ing the Objectionable weed from
their farms.

The Fugitive Tax Collector.

The VIII reabouts of Hamilton,
the absconding City Tax Collector,
and Alfredo Carrillo seems to be in
considerable doubt. Mr.. Chapman,
Route Agent on the Arizona Divis-
ion of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, says that, If proper reward
had been offered, he could have
caught them while they were
crossing the Colorado river, below
Yuma, on Saturday last. And then
comes the following dispatch to
Chief King, saying that the fugi-
tives are in Lower California:
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 8, 1879.
II. King, Chief of tPoLice; How
much reward for Hamilton or Car
rillo? They are in Lower Califor-
MIA. JOSEPH CoYNE.
Sheriff.
Aud yet another man AYERS that
he saw Carrillo, one of the fugi-
tives, both of whom are variously
reported as being in Baja Califor-
MIA and crossing the Colorado river,
en- route presumably to Sonora, in
the store Of A. Mackenzie, on Main
street, in this city, on Wednesday
last, one day after he was met near
Temecula, San Diego county, and
four days after his supposed flight
with Hamilton. Verify, these va
rious rumors, to say the least, are
calculated to mislead searchers af-
ter the missing Collector and his
companion. Our belief, however,
Is that the quickest way to find
them, If wanted, would be to go
direct to Lower California.

The Great NapoIeOn's Mother.
December Harper's J


The family of Bonapartes were Of
pure italian race; there was not a
drop of French blood in any of
them. Their ancestors came from
the mainland in the early history
OF Corsica, and their names are
found In the remote annals of
AjacciO. Carlo Bonaparte was a
poor gentleman of excellent breed
ing and character, who married in
his youth young and romantic
girl named Letizia Ramolina, who
followed him in his campaigns up
to the very moment of the birth of
Napoleon. 1t is impossible to say
how much the history of Europe
owes to the high heart and indom-
liable spirit of this soldierly wo-
man. She never relinquished her
authority in her family. When all
her children were princes and po-
tentates she was still the severe,
stern Madame Mere. The beauty
and grace Of Josephine Beauhar-
nais never conquered her; the
sweet TyroIese prettiness of Maria
Louisa won from her only sort Of
contemptuous indulgence. When
her mighty son ruled the continent
she was the only human being
whose chidings he regarded or en-
dured. She was faithful in her re-
Dukes while the sun shone, and
when misfortune came her un-
daunted spirit was true and devoted
to the fallen. Her provincial habit
of economy stood her IN good stead
In her vigorous old age; she was
rich when the Empire had passed
away, and her grandchildren need
ed her aid. 1t must have been from
her that Napoleon took his ex-
traordinary character for Carlo Bo-
naparte, though brave soldier
and an ardent patriot in his youth,
was of an easy and genial temper,
inclined to take the world as he
found 1t, and not to insist too much
on having it go in his especial way.
After the cause of Corsican liberty
wae lost by the success Of French
arms, he accepted the situation
without regret, and becoming inti-
mate with the conquerors, he
placed as many of his family as
possible on the French pension
list. His sons Napoleon and Louis
were given scholarships at Brienne
and at Autun, and his eldest daugh-
ter, Elise, entered the royal insti-
tuition at st. Cyr. While yet in
the prime of life, he died of the
same deadly disease which was to
finish Napoleon's days at st. Hell
ena; and the heroic mother, her re-
sponsibiIities becoming still heav-
ier by this blow, lived for eight
years longer amid the confusion
and civil tumult which had be-
come chronic in Corsica; and then,
after the capture of the island by
the English in 1913, she made her
escape with her children to Mar
seilles, where she lived several
years in great penury.

BLOWN UP.
Ladies', Don't Garry Pill-Boxss in Your
Bosoms.

An English physician was re-
Gently consulted at his office by a
lady who was in need of certain re-
pairs. He decided that pills were
what her system really required,
and he therefore gave her a large
box containing six dozen pills, with
instructions how to take them.
Now, it so happened that the lady
had no pocket in her dress and car
ried no handbag. The question
then arose how she could carry the
pill-box. 1t is well known that
while nature has deprived women
of pockets, she has given them two
excellent substitutes therefor. One
of these Is a glove. On the inside
of the glove and adjoining the
palm of the hand is an enor-
mously capacious place of stor-
age, in which a woman can, and
frequently does, carry money,
cards, button-hooks, sewing ma
terials, rubber overshoes and quan-
titles of other articles. The other
receptacle is situated in the bosom
of the female dress, and has never,
as a matter of course, been ex-
plored. Its capacity il, therefore, q
matter of masculine conjecture,
though it is known to vary in wo-
men of different races. Thus, it is
believed that the average English
woman can carry several cubic
feet of cargo in this receptacle,
while the carrying capacity of a
Boston school-teacher would be
heavily taxed by a single visiting
card.
The English lady in question
placed her pill-5ox in her bosom,
gave the doctor his fee and returned
to her home. Half an hour later,
as she was seated in the
library conversipg with her
husband, she blew up with a tre-
mendous crash. Not only were the
entire outworks of her dress de-
stroyed, but she was go seriously
injured that she survived but few
hours. AS may be supposed, her
husband was somewhat surprised,
and he subsequently, made inqui-
ries which led to the discovery that
the explosion was due to the pills.
The doctor testified that each pill
contained small quantity of oxide
of silver, and that this substance
becoming heated had exploded,
with the surprising and fatal con-
sequence which the husband had
remarked.
