SCRAP worth saving is the following from
the Times: "The d. S. Terry who has just
been nominated for State Attorney General by
the Democrats of California, is the notorious
Dave Terry who killed Broderick in 1859
Terry At that time was Chief Justice of the
State and fierce champion of the rights of
slavery. Broderick was not a duelist, not
even good shot with pistol, and it is a mat
ter of tradition that Terry was selected as an
old duelist to give the obnoxious anti-Lecomp-
ton Senator his quietus. By trick played by
the officers of the Court Terry escaped even the
formaIites of trial for murder. Soon after
the rebellion having broken out-he slipped
off to Mississippi and headed rebel brigade
during the war. This episode over, he re-
turned to California, where he lived very qui-
city until the recent political upheaval brought
him with other unclean things to the surface
He was an active member of the party known
as Honorable Bilks, nondescript organiza-
ton of political fossils and renegades of every
stripe The Democrats seeing Terry needed
'vindicatlon' very badly, and being hard
pressed for candidate, have nominated him
for Attorney General in the place of the dis
Greet young gentleman who has declined that
honor"

Bishop came in from Maginni Bros. ranch

day, upon the receipt of the news of the bat
tie. From him it is learned that everything
is very quiet in that section. The coal burn
ers are at their pits attending to their regular
business. They are very reticent, and have
but little to say about the difficulty, beyond
unanimously protesting that they did not want
any bloodshed, and wished to avoid further
trouble. The Doctor did not hear of any
wounded, and it is probable there are none.
There is one man missing, and it is possible
he fell off his horse in the sagebrush, belief
strengthened by the fact that stray horse was

The Whaling Fleet i'm the Pacific.

The introduction of petroleum, the
consequent fall in the price of whale oil,
the destruction of whalers by the Con-
tolerate cruiser Shenandoah, the icss of
many vessels in the Arctic ice fields in
1871 and 1876, and the decrease in the
number of whales, have contributed to
reduce the Pacific whaling feet from 600
vessels in 1855 to forty in 1879. OF these
only eighteen are now in the North Pa
citic, and recently they have made their
rendezvous in San Francisco harbor,
whereas, formerly Honolulu was the
port where they discharged cargo, re-
fitted and spent the winter. They en-
ploy about 700 men, and the average
catch may be set down as $1,000 barrels
of oil and seventy tons of whalebone.
The whales are scarce and shy now
south of Behring Straits, and most of
the vessels venture in the Arctic Sea- In
a fair season a vessel will take five
whales, the northern right whale yield
ing l25 barrels and the Arctic ninety
barrels of oil, and each about 1,5O0
pounds of bone. If the whales are not
found the vessel frequently devotes itself
to the walrus, each ofwhich gives twenty
gallons of oil and five pounds of ivory;
but three out OF four killed are lost; and
as they are the chief dependence of the
Esquimaux for subsistence, some whal-
ing masters will not kill them so long as
there is and hope of finding whales. The
introduction of an improved bomb-lance
gun will probably make the business less
dangerous and more profitable. There
are half dozen whaling stations on the
coast of California. where a lookout is
kept on shore, and when notice is given
that a whale is in sight, men put off in
row boats for the prize. There are
twenty-five men at Punta Banda and
twelve at Santo Tomas, in Lower Cali
fornia, and ten at Ballast Point, in the
American territor all belonging to San
Diego; a company at Monterey; one of
twenty-five men at Pigeon Point, and
one or two iii Mendocino county. Most
of the whales taken are the California
graybacks, which are neither rich in oil
nor easily taken. Some seasons more
than half of those killed are lost. They
migrate when fat to the southwark from
November to February, keeping near the
land, and to the northward from May to
October, when lean, running little fur

Some Great Amatte Feats.

Swimming, like pedestrianism, would
seem to be one of the progressive
sciences, the feats of Capt. Webb and Capt.
Boyton exceeding those of Byron and
Lieut.. Ekenhead as far as the long
distance record of Western and O'Leary
surpasses that of Christopher North.
Byron's famous passage of the Hellespont,
despite the slanting course into which
he was driven by the current, fell some
what short of four miles, although the
struggle with the tremendous rush of the
water must necessarily have been a very
exhausting one. A more respectable,
though less known, feat was his seven
mile swim against the tide from Lisbon
10 Belem Castle, an exploit equaled by
one of Edgar Poe's youthful achieve
ments. Capt. Marryat's SWIM ashore
from his ship at Portsmouth, in his mid
Shipman days, was made memorable
rather by the roughness of the sea and
the fact of its being done in his clothes
than by the actual distance, which was
but little over two miles. A Shetland fish
erman, wrecked with his family upon a
bare rock ten miles from the nearest of
the Farce islands, SWAN the distance in
quest of help, which he fortunately OBJ
tanned in time. A Spanish deserter is
said to have crossed the Straits of Glib
raltar, thirteen miles wide, but the story
rests upon doubtful authority. Mr.. j.
B. Wilson, who attempted the channel
previous to Capt. Webb's success, ac-
complished between seven and eight
miles, or about one-third of the entire
distance. The astounding feats ascribed
by tradition to the Greek islanders and
the natives OF the Polynesian Archi-
pelago are probably to be accepted with
considerable reserve s..rf.r.z- ..

Enormous Land Sales.

1t is safe to assume that Uncle Sam-is
the largest operator in real estate ON the
face of the globe, not counting such little
operations as the purchase of Alaska. nor
referring to Santo Domingo, which he
did not buy, As it is, this government
has all the land 1t can comfortably con-
troll and vast deal more than will he
improved for long years to come. AS a
retail dealer IN land, the governments
shows total transactions of a magnitude
that appeals to the spread eagle side of a
citizens pride. In 1873, the allotment of
public lands on homestead entries
amounted to upward of 6,0OO, 900 acres.
The largest previous one disposed of
since President Lincoln signed the Home
stead act after 1860 was in 1872, amount
ing to 4,600, 900 acres. From 1872. in no
year have the transactions been much
more than half as large as in 1878, while
in 1877 the transfers from the govern
ment to settlers were only about one
third as large. Each homestead settler
in the last ten years has taken an aver,
age of 100 acres, thus Indicating during
last year alone population of nearly if
not quite $50, 900 new settlers on the pub-
lie lands, estimating five persons to each
family. In area, the new country settled
up in 1878 would be twice the area of
farm lands in the Bay State, or as much
as bakers dozen of such common
wealths as Rhode Island. Added to tire
land disposed of by the government, we
must also remember the lands sold in
Texas on account of land grants to rail-
roads, the sales of railroad lands and of
special land grants in many of the States.
The sale of Texas lands for the year end,
ing June 80, 1878, was $500, 900 acres;
railroad grants, l, 250, 600 acres; State
grants, $1,000 acres, or grand total,
including 100000 acres government
homestead grants, of Is 500, 900 acres.
According to the census of 1870, the total
farming area of the United States was
placed at 400, 000,O0 of which not one
half was improved. The increase in the
last two years has added Mt least five per
cent. to the farming lands of the coun-
try, thus furnishing employment for al
most unlimited bone and sinew. And
still there is room for the masses who
wish to flee from the effete despotisms,
as well as for the able-bodied young
man who wishes to avail himself of
Horace Greeley's advice. - Ney York
