CLEVER TRICK.-The close of the English
harvest found a pair of Connaugh treapers
some hundreds of miles from Liverpool
their favorite, because cheapest, port of
embarkation for home Old hands at the
business, they had been accustomed to
make their way to Liverpool, without
spending farthing of their earnings, by
dint of cadgng. On this last occasion,
however. they conceived the bright idea of
passing themselves off for a pair of South
Sea Islanders. The cleverer of the two.

that they were now making for Liverpool,
as the most likely place wherein to obtain
a passage home. So much for the story.
As to backing it up the Irish did that in

eventually, and to high prosperity.

parts of the State people have had but little
experience, but are more or less interested in
all that has been learned by their southern
brothers and sisters, because the culture of
citrous fruits is extending over large sections
of the State. For this reason we shall watch
the proceedings of this meeting with good
deal of interest, and shall take pains to give
our readers the benefit of what is to be
learned from its doings and sayings. But we
would also call the attention of those of our
readers who have already engaged in the
growing of oranges, lemons and lines in
other sections Of the State, that the exhibit
ton is not confined to fruit grown in the
southern counties, but provision is made for
putting on exhibition samples from any and
all localities. and arrangements have been
made to pay freight and express charges on
all fruit forwarded for exhibition, and the
committee having charge of the fair cordially
invite not only specimens of fruit from all
localities, but they invite all interested to be
present with them and help to make the oc-
casion enjoyable and instructive.

CITRoUS FRUIT FAIR.

One year ago this month was held the first
citrous fruit exhibition ever given on this
coast. The fair was at Riverside, San Ber-
nardino county. The results of that fair
were so satisfactory to those promoting and
conducting it, that second one, to take
place under the same auspices, and at the
same place, has been decided upon. This
second exhibition is to come off on the oath
and 25th of the present month, and we have
no doubt will be attended with even more
valuable results than was the first. A good
premium list has been offered for the best dis
play of citrous fruits, best oranges and
lemons in various classes, and for best raisins.
Aside from exhibiting and discussing the
merits of fruits on exhibition and
awarding premiums, il is the intention
to hold general discussions and an
interchange of opinions, experiences,
practices and results each evening
during the fair, which is to continue two
days. This is one of the best modes for pro-
ducers to gain and disseminate knowledge
upon any subject connected with their occu-
pations The exhibition Of products is of it
self practical and valuable school, but when
supplemented with honest statements of
modes of production and practices in cultiva-
ton and management, the good growing out
of these exhibitions is very much enhanced.
The ideas thus advanced, and examined and
criticised by practical men, are taken up by
the press and spread broadcast over the
State, and bear good crops in improved re-
suits wherever people are engaged in similar
cultures. The people in Southern California
have had years of experience in the
cultivation of citrous fruits, and
zAis experience will be brought
--sut hese discussions. In other

MooRLAND NOISES.


This dainty bit of description is from Words
xorths poem of "The Thorn" which Mr.. Matthe,
Arnold has strangely omitted from his recent col
lection. Perhaps it was in sympathy with Lord JET
Trey, who once Enthusiastically described thi
poem as one in which a woman in red cloak zoe
up to the top Of hill to say, "Oh, Misery !" AM
then comes down again.l
And close beside this aged Thorn
There is q fresh and lovely sight,
A beauteous heap, hill of moss
Just half foot in hight.
All lovely colors there you see,
All colors that were ever seen:
And messy network, too, is there,
AS ii by hand of lazy fair
The work had woven been;
And cups the dariIgs of the eye,
So deep is their vermilion dye
An me what lovely tints are there
OF olive green and scarlet bright,
In spikes and branches and IN stars,
Green, red and pearly white.
This heap Of earth o'ergrown with moss
Which by the Thorn you see
So fresh in all its beauteous dyes,
Is like an infants grave in size,
As like as like can be
But never, never, anywhere,
An infants grave was half SO fair

THE WEATHER.

The continued cold dry weather is creating
some uneasiness among farmers on the ele
waited wheat plains lest we are going to have
dry winter and short crop. 1t was not
till late in February last season that our
rainy season fairly set in. and we had more
rain than we wanted after that date. So the
year before the highest water came on the
10Th of February, and we had heavy fall
of rain after that date. But it is said, and
very truly, that the last or any other winter
is no criterion by which to Judge of this win
ter by. We may yet have superabundance
of moisture, but a fair rainfall from this on
largest wheat product the State has ever
made. Let us not feel blue too soon.

OUR ORANGE TREES.

Notwithstanding the long-continued cold
weather, and notwithstanding we have had
colder nights this winter than last, the orange
and lemon trees about the city, and generally
in this part of the Sacramento valley, have
not been injured apparently so much as they
were last winter. The probable reason is
that they had matured their wood more fully
this winter before the cold spell came on
than they had done last winter. From this
fact we should learn not to irrigate such
trees too late in the fall. Let them have a
good rest and ripen the wood fully, and take
no risks.

abolished nearly eighteen years ago,
and any reason, either real or inns
piled, that may have existed prior
to that time has long since been
swept away.
Now, nothing except prejudice
can keep alive any..such spirit of
sectionalism. And, strange as it
may appear, the churches have q
good deal to do with it. When re-
ligious denominations that are
agreed in doctrine and are only
divided on ante.war memories or
sectional lines unite, great deal of
this foolish prejudice will die out
and sectionalism in politics will be
thing Of the past. Ministers of
the Gospel do not mean to be guilty
Of such grosssk folly,..to suse no
stronger term, but they are, never
theless. It will give pleasure to
good men of all parties, north, south,
east and west, to see prejudice give
way and imaginary sectional lines
obliterated, and the churches can
do great deal towards bringing
about the good result.

THERE is general impression
that Secretary Sherman will be re-
tanned in the cabinet of President
Garfield. More, there is a general
desire that he should be. His skill
and courage has had a great deal to
do with the present prosperity ems
joyed by the country. Had he
been a coward, or a man easily
swerved from policy he believed
to be right, the clamor raised
against the policy of resumption
might have caused him to hesitate.
But he did not. He knew the right
AMI dared to do it, even though it
might be unpopular. The country
owes great deal to John Sherman.
He is one of the greatest fnanciers
of this or any other age, and his re-
tention at the head of the Treasury
department would do a great deal
to inspire confidence in business
circles.

communication of Lewis Tillman,
Esq, on the subject of our city
debt. Mr.. Tillman is a careful, as
well as correct gentleman, and the
figures given by him are doubtless
correct. His article is worthy of a
careful perusal. He discusses a
question in which all the people Of
Knoxville and especially tax payers
are interested. Now is a good time
to discuss such questions, just before
our annual city election.

Due--HOw to Meet Et.
Mr.. EDITOR: Lnasmuch as the
mind Of our people is now turned to
the consideration of the future Of our
city, and all, without regard to politi-
cal differences, are elsted by it's bright
prospects and SEEM anxious to co-opes
rate in advancing its interests, I beg
to submit some facts and suggestions
relative to our indebtedness-when 1t
is due and how to meet it. In view of
our prospective railroad connections
and the almost certain business
"boom" which will come along with
them, we are apt to overlook the very
important matters above mentioned.
Indeed, we have neglected those mat
ters too long already, for besides the
floating debt which we have been post
poning from year to year by one exps~
dent and another, a large amount Of
our bonds will mature within the next
five years, to meet which there has
been absolutely no provision whatever
made. II we go on as We now are
going > refund and postpone the day
of payment will be our only remedy.
Even with the adoption of wise meas
ures now we can hope barely to escape
the necessity Of refundinga very large
portion of our Indebtedness.

It is believed that the 10 bonds re,
deemed were of those issued previous to
1850 and 1851, but whether of the railroad
or other bonds have not ascertained.
In 1876 the board authorized the
issuance of the obligations of the cisy
to the amount of $50, 900. to take up
various liabilities then existing.
Only $26 500 of these obligations
were issued and were made to bear per
cent. interest, and fell due in annual
inttallments OF $4,000. By the report
Of the finance committee for the year
ending December 81, 1879, it appears
that there is still outstanding of the
slime script the sum $40. 10000, all
Of which Is due except 81, 800, and this
natures April 1st, 1881.
The other items of the floating debt,
as by said report shown, aggregate
$60387. Supposing that this debt has
not been materially reduced during
the present year, we may put our liza
