= Interesting sOr wives,

The wife has been much advanced by the
general tenor OF legislation Of late years In re-
spect to her own property. She has acquired a
pretty Independent position as to title, control
and disposition, but this relates to her prop
erty, not to his. The law has not yet raised her
To the staten OF superintendent OF her hts-
bands contracts and probably never Will. He
Is bound to support her and the children which
she bears to him, and In order TO fulfil this
obligation he ought to have as much freedom
In the management Of his business affairs Of
the world as unmarried men are allowed 10 e1-
eyelse. In taking q vile man does not put
himself under an OyerSeer. He Is not SuDor-
dinate In his own family but the head OF 1t.
The law assigns him this position, not for his
own advantage alone but as much for the real
Tor the general Interest of society. A husband
left free 10 lead and govern Ia bis own family
is the most useful husband to all who may be
concerned in the results OF his conduct. That
exceptions to this rule may be pointed out Is
no objection TO or disprOOf of the rule itself.
Human institutions are all more or less 1mper-
feet. and their complete efficiency in practical
working cannot be expected In every instance.
II is enough II they produce beneHcence to the
great means and In the great majority OF cases
A suojugated husband Is less pleasing and
less energetic member of society than one who
keeps his true place yet knows how to temper
authority with affection. The law does not
discourage conlugal consultations or free and
voluntary cOopaFa ion IN all tranSact10ns which
affect or may affect the welfare OF the family.
But the law does not undertake to Sc
cure this delightful harmony by coercion, but
leaves il to issue spontaneously from the holy
relations OF natr1mony.-Ge0r9td Supreme

Confederate Bonds

a Washington dispatch says: There
have been several applications at the
treasury department recently by per.
sons TO make contracts TO collect for
the government the balance remaining
in the Bank of England to the credit
of the defunct confederate states. One
man Of this city, named Agar, had a
contract of this kind, made with Sec
rotary Sherman. This contract expired
last September, an Agar failed to get
the money. It n said that this money
was deposited in some peculiar manner.
and controlled by five trustees, who
now collect the interest annually. and
that Jef. Davis and Judah p. Benja-
min are two OF these trustees. IL is
with the hops Of getting this money
that the English capitalists are buying
the confederate bonds. and that Ben
jamln has been retained by these cap
italists as their lawyer. and he thinks
he can recover the money in parment
OF confederate bonds. SOlicit,E' Ray

British governments attention to the
money. with n view of recovergin II

Violent Sick Headache

There is no longer any question that
Holman's Pad is the only perfect remedy
for Sick Headache that science has yet de-
vised. The Pad should be worn by all
who are subject to Sick Headaches.
DR.. James M. Dodge, gentleman well
known among druggists throughout he
West, says: 81 called one day on my
friend, Mr.. Fleming, leading druggist, at
Aenia, o., and found him suffering terribly
from Sick Headache. Willing to be of SER
vice. said, Fleming, why not put on a
Holman's Pad? 1t will cure YOU He
said it was useless to experiment; his was
a chronic case. insisted upon his trying
the Pad, and said, 'If it fails to cure you,
will pay for it. Upon this, he yielded to
my entreaty and applied the Pad. IN less
than half an hour he vomited freely
and that being over, he improved very rap
idly, and soon became entirely well. But
the most gratifying part of it was that,
although he had been subject 10 frequent
similar attacks for years, he has had no re-
turn Of the malady since"

PROFITS ON GRAPES,
The Wealth that is Realized in Cali.
fornia vineyards.

san Francisco Chronlcie
California grapes have long been
celebrated for their sunerioritv and
have never lacked popularity in eastern
markets for table use. Our vineyards
now contain every valuable European
variety, both for wine and the fable
and California wines are RAPIDLY com.
ing to the front, with rising nrices
and an ever increasing demand Vet
prices, contrasted with the rates at
which imported wines have been sell.
ing In this market are still low. Ex-
cellent California clarets can be pur-
chased here by the cask al from 80
cents to a sL20 per gallon. The latter
are better in quality than French
claIets, which used to command 75
cents to tl.25 per bottle. of Eve bottles
TO the gallon. 1t will seem from this
that there Is a large margin for in
crease in the price OF our wines. At
81 per gallon an eight year old vine
yard Is good for clear profit of $500
TO $500 per acre; and the wine being
carefully made and kept for age. will
command more than 81 a gallon. The
most prosperous rural districts in the
state now are those in which viticHl-
ture has for seven or eight years been
a leading industry. 1t is making MAI a
valley one Of the richest regions on the
coast, and extending to other counties
with like effect. We hear upon good
authority that one cultlvator near
MARTINEZ, who this year realized, clear
Of all expenses, $1,000 for the crop of
a four-acre vineyard, ten years of vines.
But they are all of the best foreign va.
rieties. We hear of another in the
same locality who sold the grapes Of a
twenty-acre vineyard at a clear profit
of $50 per acre for wine. These vine
yards are on adobe soil. Other planta.
tons on sandy soil and upon hillsides
produce as well, and the grapes com.
mand as high prices. These lands
where not planted and cultivated, are
held at moderate prices, considering
the prices accruing from viticulture
t25 to $40 per acre, and yet the location
is convenient to market. In Naps
valley where the value of good loca
tons for vineyards has been abundant
ly proved by many years of successful
trial, equally good lands with thous
ands and tens of thousands of acre:
that may now be had-in Contra Costa
SOnoma, Fresno, Solano, and elsewhere
for $l5 to $50 per acre, and though
cheap at $3.50 to $3.50. 1t is fac
worth special remark, that the demand
for our wines made from foreign
grapes increases with the supply. Tel
years ago, when most of all the win,
was made from the Mission grap
brought here a century ago by tn,
padres, wine was drug at 80 to A
cents n gallon.
