Inc recent favorable notice OF the |
remarkable Scotch peasant author
ess, Janet Hamilton, by Mr.. John
Bright, in his speech in Birming
ham, has awakened so much inter
est in her that selected volume of
her works has just been published in
Glasgow. The wonderful point of
the matter is that Janet Hamilton
never had any education except what
she derived from chiefly
Shakespeare, whose works she knew
almost by heart-and that, never
having had lesson in grammar, she
wrote essays in English absolutely
faultless. The estimation in which
she was held in her native land is
shown by the fact that the unveiling
of her monument, in 1880, was wit
messed by an assemblage of 10000
people.
A Hartford man, who was broken
down in health, but had plenty of
money, settled in Southern Calfor
MIA. He is now the owner Of two
splendid farms, one Of 600 acres and
the other of 5000, and his health is
in perfect condition. In his orchards
there are 26 varieties of apple trees,
81 varieties Of grapes, 1000 pear
trees embracing Is varieties, II varie-
ties peaches, $50 olive trees, $50 Jap
anese persimmons. 10 acres of Eng
lish walnuts, besides pecan and fill
bert trees. He has also AZ varieties
of roses and II magnolia trees. He
would plant his whole land in grapes
for raisins and table use if he could
get him to pick them when ripe.
Farm laborers are in great demand
there. He thinks there is no place
like Southern California.
How steadily German influence is
increasing in Constantinople may be
inferred from the announcement re-
Gently published in the Berlin Official
Gazette, that the Emperor William
has transferred four officers of the
Prussian regular army to the Otto
man military service. Colonel kach-
ler, commanding the Sixth Silesian
Hussars, Captain kampfhoeyener Of
the Third Hanoverian Infantry, Cap
tain Won Hohe of the First Silesian
t Dragons, and Captain Ristow of the
Second Pomeranian Field Artillery
: Regiment, have been ordered to place

! Khonds and the kultas, for consid

more exaggerated form. The Khond'

5 bitter feeling of animosity on thu
