A Monopoly in Sea. .GuIls, Egg.

For years company of men, without
the slightest legal right to the monop-
oily, has absolutely controlled the busi-
ness of gathering the eggs deposited by
multitude of obliging sea-gulls on the
Farallon Islands, about thirty-five miles
due west of the entrance to San Fran
cisco Bay. If any interlopers approached
they were Immediately driven away, by
force if necessary, and evena lighthouse
keeper was instructed upon one occa-
sion to attend strictly to his own partic-
ular business. But the very topmost
pinnacle of impudence was reached
when the lighthouse-keepers were in
formed that the fog-horR must be no
longer sounded, iuasmuch as it scared
away the gulls and thus reduced the
profits of the company. At this point
the San Francisco authorities wrote to
Washington to inquire what rights
these people had on the islands. The
reply was returned that they had no
rights whatever, but were interlopers
upon O reservation of the United States
and ought to be elected. Accordingly
a marshal with twenty soldiers pro-
ceeded to the islands, read the orders
of the Government to the assembled
egg -gatherers, and told them that he
was compelled to remove them. They
were eleven in number, aud offered no
resistance save formal protest, and oil
boarded the steamer and we're conveyed
to San Francisco. The only objection
made to leaving was raised by an old
man, the nestcr OF the business, who
stated that he had been on the islands
or TO urteen consecutive seasons, and
claimed to thus have acquired right to
remain there. The others were not at
all 10th to leave, as they were only paid
five cents dozen for collecting the eggs,
and these, as they stated, were very
fscarce since the introduction OF the fog
horn. No further difficulty is to be an
ticipated.

Mutually nisannoinied.

When General Lafayette visited this
country, he greatly enjoyed meeting the
friends he had known in the revolution,
and with whom he had shared many
hardships. But somef--es he was
sorely disappointed. The changes
which time works in all men we're such
that, now and then, he could scarcely
recognize his old associates. II is equal
ly amusing, however, to know that oc-
casionally his former friends were
equally disappointed in him.
He paid a visit to John Adams, at
Quincy. The expectations Of both par
ties were high, and they counted on
joyful day. But the changes of time
we're not allowed for, and the reaction
was therefore great.
Lafayette said to n friend, as he was
leaving the house:
"What q sad change in Mr.. Adams !
can see scarcely trace Of the man
whom used to admire and honor"
Mr.. Adams comment was equally strik-
ing II was asking myself continually,
Can this be Lafayette2 He is wholly
unlike the general whom / loved in the
revolution. 1T is unpleasant to miss the
old friend"
Both expected too much, and as usual,
both we're disappointed. - YoaPs COM

Drugged Wines.

As France has kicked up row about
American hog meat, which extended
even to ringing bells through the vii
lagos warning the citizens, it is entirely
fair to warn the American people against
the drugged wines of France. The Par
isiun, paper printed in English in
Paris, gives branch of the history OF
this manufacture Of wines sold fraud
ulently under the names of the choicest
brands of French wines The wine
crop of 1879 was about 25,O00,000, or
30,000,000 hectoliters below the average
of the last ten years. The annual con-
sumption in France is from 40,000,000
to 45,O00,000 heetoliters. Every body
expected rise in the price of wine, and
some conscientious dealers laid in stock
from abroad. The rise in price, how
ever, never came, and the markets re-
mained well supplied. The reason was
that the natural deficit was compensated
for by artificial means. Wine was man
ufactured ont of dry grapes. All the
raisins to be found in Eastern ports
were bought up, and wine manufactur-
ers sprang up all over the country.
Around Paris alone there are seven
steam-power wine manufactures. The
cost of cask of raisin wine is about 80
francs, and it was sold at 100 francs,
thus giving profit of 100 per cent.
But the competition has now become
such that the price of raisins has risen
from 12 francs to 75 francs the 100 kilo-
grams. The consequence is that raisins
have been abandoned, and wine is now
manufactured out OF glucose, sugary
matter obtained from the potato, out of
the residue of molasses, out Of rotton
apples, dried prunes, dates, figs, and all
kinds of refuse fruit, and even out of
beef-root. These abominable liquids
are colored artifcially and mixed more
or less with Spanish wines or white wine.
The adulteration and manufacture Of
wine has attained such vast proportions
that the principal dealers who had taken
measures to supply the market Loyalty
with harvest wine from foreign countries
have taken steps to put q stop to this
gigantic fraud. The imposture has
reached such pitch that not one-third
Of the wine now drank in Paris is real

The Russian Empress.

The Empress of Russia Subscribed as
looking like corpse rather than liv-
ing being, sitting speechless and unmov-
ed, as though neither seeing nor hearing
anything. 1t was, perhaps, premoni-
tion of Nihilist terrors that made poor
Dagmar so depressed when, as bride,
she travelled to meet the Czarewitch.
The girl had to have her white face
painted, it is said, before she entered
the native city of her future husband,
that the people might not notice all the
misery of her expression.

GriseldA is a patient maid,
Whom nothing can excite,

She's always In the right.
Her prompt decision is superb,
She knows no wicked spite;
Her oalmness naught can e'er disturb
She's always in the right
No breeze that blows can rough her hair
To rude, unseomly plight,
No mud to soil her dress would dare
She's always in the right.
Her steps she bends where she should go
She scorns the worlds delight;
She answers 'Yes," she answers Mo-
She's always in the right.
Her figures tall, her eyes are pale,
Her form is spare and slight;
Her thin, red lips no faults bewail,
She's always in the right.
She always does the thing she should,
Her sayings sagos cite,
Because, you see, It's understood
She's always in the right.
Should ] wed her, they say, my life
Would be serene and bright;

Who's never in the wrong.

In view of the fact that Senator Miller, of
California, has introduced a bill 20 enforce
the provisions of the treaty with China rela-
tive to the immigration of Celestials, the
following clause from the treaty bearing on
that point will be of interest:
Whenever, in the opinion of the Government
of the United States, the coming of Chinese
laborers 10 the United States, or their resi-
dence therein, affects, or threatens to affect
the interests of that country, or to endanger
the good order of any locality within the terri
tory thereof, the Government of China agrees
that the Government of the United States may
regulate, limit or suspend such coming or resi-
dence, but may not absolutely prohibit it. The
limitation or suspension shall be reasonable,
and shall apply only to Chinese who may go to
the United States as laborers, other classes not
being included in the limitation. Legislation
in regard to Chinese laborers shall be of such a
character only as is necessary to enforce the
regulation, limitation or suspension, of imm-
grafton, aud Immigrants shall not be subject to
personal maltreatment or abuse.
