Mr. FEadley s. Collins:
DEAR SIR-I have received yours of the
fourth instant and thank you for the kind
expressions it contained. The evil infiu
ences to which you refer as causing the
bitterness felt towards southern men it NAV
fairly be expected viii give way to the
sober sense of the people if they shall like
yourself, detect sordid motive for which
the stimulants are administered, will not
say like the telegram you cite in regard to
the attempted assassination of the President
and say am thankful that the assassin was
not southern man, but will say | regret
that he is an American. The crime was
black enough in itself but has deeper dye
from the mercenary motive which seems to
have prompted it. / sincerely trust the
President may recovera and that the startling
g event will arouse the people to the consid-
Grafton of remedy for the decentralization
which wild hunt after office is creating.

The Steamship Great Eastern. ,


The project of using the Great Eeste.s
for the transportation of cattle from Ameri-
| ca, has, il seems, been definitely abandoned.
To what purpose, actual OF intended, she
will be turned next. it would be hard 10 say.
She is indeed an ill-fated vessel she has
| been unfortunate from the very start-and
her history is a curious combination and
continuation Of mishaps and disasters.
Twenty eight years ago an Eastern steam
navigation company was formed in England
to maintain an ocean trade in the East
round the Cape of Good Hope. The next
year the Directors decided that such trade
would not pay. owing to the expense of
supporting coaling stations along the route,
unless the ship could carry coal enough for
the round trip. Arrangements were accord
Ingly made to build vessel which would
transport 1000 passengers, 5000 tons Of
merchandise and $4,000 tons of coal for
fuel. The result. with many changes in the
original plan. was the Great Eastern. She
was some years building. and was finally
ready to launch in November, 1857. TO
avoid the danger Of launching so long
vessel stern foremost, she vas constructed
with the brsadslde toward the river, on a
timber foundation of vast strength. with
was too heavy. or the rails were too gradual.
and various efforts were made, and $500,
900 or 100000 spent before she vas got
OF. After con ion il was uncertain what
would come OF Pile trade to and from Austria
lia consequently. it was determined to send
her hIther on trial voyage The attempt
proved very unfortunate. She left the
Thames September 3, 1859. but an explosion
occurred off Hastings, killing and wounding
a number of persons, and bringing the pro-
posed trip suddenly TO an end at Weymouth.
Atter costly repairs, bitter recriminatlons
and various lawsuits and the death Of
Brune!. her planer, she again set sail for
tins port in Jun $50, and reached here in
eleven days For nearly a twelyemonth she
Piled between England and the United
States, but steadily lost money, not making
sufficient, IN fact to pay for her current ex-

and Great Britain, the Great Eastern carried
some two thousand troops from England to
Canada with degree of comfort never be-
fore experienced BY 50 large body of men.
After that the company did not know what
to do with her and she might have rotted at
her moorngs had she not been wanted to

since been employed repeatedly for the

Ostrich Farming.
PROPOSED ISACGrRArIoN or THE BUSINESS
u CALIFORNIA.


There is a fair prospect. SAYS the River
side Cal.l Press, that q new industry will
be inauguraiel in san Berulrdino county -.
which will be novel in character. and, if sue
cessful. very profitable We refer to ostrich
farming. Mr. ID. Whiting, formerly Of Mass
achuse,t>, but for several wears resident Of
South Africa, Is in search OF a location for
starting the ostrich business on a large scale
lie wants 1000 or 1900 acres Of land. and
he expressed the belief that he would make
purchase in this county. As soon as the
land IS purchased, he will immediately start
for Africa for his stock Of ostriches, which
will be here in six months from the prest at
time. Tie expects to stock his place with
100 pairs Of these birds Of the very best
, breeds obtainable In 1868 there were but
10 ostriches domesticated in South Africa
During the past II years the stock has in
creased 10 such an extent that last year the
census showed there were 10000 ostriches
in that country. \ fine pair Of ostriches is
valued at from $500 to $1,000 and some even
sold at a higher figure. They do not breed
until they are years old. and then BY good
care a pair will produce four broods OF
chicks a year. each brood with good luck
numbering 20 chicks. At : months of age
the crop Of feathers is valued al s. to each
bird, and at the end of another eight months
the clip is worth S2j TO the bird, and clip
can be taken thereafter every eight months
Single clip from choice birds have sold as
high as Sl25. Ii does not take more to feed
an ostrich than a sheep. Mr.. Whiting jud-
ges that for a greater portion Of the year in
this country they will need no feeding.
South Africa is subject to droughts, which
last sometimes three or four years. II is
this drawback which cuts into the profit Of
ostrich farming in that country. Not only
does feed become very high, but water be-
comes equally scarce. Reservoirs have to
be built at great expense, in which to keep
a four years supply Of water for drinking
purposes for the ostriches. There are not
at the present time to exceed eight or ten
ostriches in the United States, and his i'm
portation of 200 birds may be the beginning
of profitable business that will eventually
utilize much of the waste land of Southern
California.
