The question seems to be an open
one whether oranges can be raised
elsewhere In California than In the
semi-tropical South. When in
Europe in 1868. we spent winter
In Naples. This is an orange coun-
try. Sorrento orchards, some tweu-
ty miles away, are famous. Sicily
is not so far from Naples as Los
Angeles from San Francisco.
During this winter, and for weeks
at time, we saw the fountains
frozen up, icicles formed into
great blocks Of solid ice, the
ground congealed, and vehicles rat
tling over frozen pavements that
did not for days yield to the melt
ing influence Of the sun. The
wind came bowling down from the
snow-clad fQmmits Of the Apenni.

Shortly after our friend Butler
was elected to the position be now
fills, he succeeded In getting an
ordinance passed fixing the license
tax on vegetable peddlers, who use
wagons, at $l2 per month. The
Mongolians refused to pay. One of
their number, Lee Bung, was ar
rested and test case made up for
the purpose of having the matter
finally adjudicated. Some ten days
ago the whole question was fully
argued In the County Court, Bick-
nell and White appearing for the
defendant and the City Attorney
for the prosecution. On Thursday
last Judge Stephens delivered an
elaborate opinion deciding that the
i ordinance In question, in SO far as
it referred to vegetable peddlers,
was oppressive, partial, unfair, In
restraint Of trade and therefore
void. The Judge cited q number
of leading authorities which fully
sustained his decision. On Thurs
day the Council, having learned of
the action Of the County Court,
passed q new ordinance reducing
the tax to $5 per month and yester-
day an order was entered discharg-
Ing Lee Bung from custody and
dismissing all further proceedings
In the premises. So after all the
noise raised by the radical wing of
the Workingmsn, the willy China
men not only defeated the $l2 tax,
but they have been selling their
vegetables on our streets without
any license ever since the repeal Of
Il the old ordinance. It Is needless TO
to add that the city revenue has
been diminished In consequent oi

A NOVEL INSTITUTION. There exists in
Denmark a singular institution, established
mainly for the benefit of the daughters of
the nobility. When man of wealth is bless
ed by the birth of a daughter he causes her to
be enrolled at this institution, paying very
small sum, with a fixed annual payment of a
moderate amount. When the young girl
reaches the age of twenty-one she not only
finds herself in possession of very nice little
income, but she has a right TO occupy and
enjoy fine apartment, well furnished, in an
elegant house, with parks and gardens, and
her companions will be ladies, young or old,
who are members of the association. 1t is
not obligatory upon member to reside long
er at the chateau or more frequently than
suits her convenience. If the father dies and
the young girl is unprotected she has an as
ylum at once, even if the subsequent annual
subscriptions are not lquidated, and when
she attains her majority her annual income
