SIGNS OF THE TIMEs.-During the past
few months an increasing determination
has been maiiested by the people of this
country to free themselves from form of
servitude which threatens to destroy the
most sacred right of citizenship. Some
men seem TO think that the government.
both state and national, was not created
and should not be supported for the great
mass of our common people; but that its
laws should be so framed and administer
ed as to enable the few to reap all the adj.
vantages of wealth and high position, at
the expense of the many.-PdtrOnS Ri
raj.
Name the thing Bro. MIesser, and lot us
know tClnt is the form of sorvitude which
threatens to destroy the most sacred rights
Of citizenship, and point out to us some of
the men who hold such narrow and sci.
fish views of local and general government.
They would with a slight alteration be
fitted by Pope's description of vice "of such
frightful mien that to be hated needs but
to be'-known. Not quite so general;
make it particular and personal.

How TO ACT WHEN LoST.-The feeling
Of a person lost in the woods is anything
but pleasant sensation. 1t is in fact
utterly demoralzing, and requires the
strongest head to keep from rushing
around through the woods like mailman.
The only way for a lost person to do is to
sit down and try to collect his thoughts,
and see if he can invent some way of tell
ing the points of the com pass, and not
feel any more scared than possible. One
way that woodmen have is to Judge by the
moss that grows on the trees, as the moss
will grow more thickly on the southerly
side of the trees, owing to that side being
the warmest, and by aligning to or three
trees with moss on them, north and south
can readily be told. and then if per-
son understands his locality he can start
out and keep his bearings. When there is
a mist or fog in the woods even old hunt.
ers get lost, but they, usually having dogs
with them, allow themselves to be guided
by the superior instinct of these animals.

The Live Stock Journal of London, de-
scrbing the show ofthe Royal Agricultural
Society, regards the HerefOrds as the best
of the English beef makers, and the most
picturesque cattle in England or anywhere
else. That they have not in times past
borne high reputation for milk. giving is
their misfortune, not their fault. That
they are anxious to remove this stigma
from their race has of late years been
proved over and over again, by men who
have given them fair chance. The Nor.

To PICKLE GREEN PEPPERs.-The
peppers should be gathered quite young ;
the bell pepper is the best Tor picking.
Cut one side of the pepper open so as not
to injure the shell OF the pepper. Then
put them into boiling salt water, changing
the water every day in the week, kee ping
them in n warm place by the fire. Stir
them several times day. They first
become yellow and then green. When
they are II fine green put them into n jar
and pour cold vinegar over them, adding
small piece of alum. They require no
spice. You may stuff the peppers as you
do mangoes.

ATTRACTIVE HOMES AND FARMS.
ert Collyer says: Good homes are like
good appIes-they propagate after their
kind, What you see in New England in
one era you see in Minnesota in another,
and when we make home our children
will have to think of in forty years, we
make what they will then have made out
of loving memories. If things 90 harder
with some of the children than with us,
and they never realize such home, still
what we give them will bless them all
their days"
Among the many reasons why our
young folks leave the farm the main one
is because farm life is made unattractive.
The child who is compelled to pass the
most interesting period Of life in home
that is little else than boarding house
can hardly be blamed for leaving it and
seeking home elsewhere. No one can
be blamed for refusing life in which he
can see nothing but drudgery, to be con.
tinued year after year. The facilities for
intellectual culture must be increased on
the farm, if we would put q stop to the
smothered or expressed desire to leave it.
The farmers boy should have agricu.
tural and other papers, and access to n
library of books of a practical and interest
ing character. 1t is right that his ambition

The first gentle murmurings of q
political zephyr which will shortly
swell to the dimensions Of cy-
clone are just new heard in the Re-
publican camp. Arthur is going
through the conventional business
of mourning for Garfield during
period of six months; but, all the
while, he is dealing foul blows to
such of Garfield's friends az he cam
not wheedle into bowing the knee
to "stalwartism." The first note
Of the new political de-
psrture will be sounded when
Blaine delivers his Grafton ON
Garfield before both houses of
Congress, In the Hall of the House
OF Representatives. While that
agile and fiery sta tesmap will not
probably directly antagonize the
administration on that occasion,
there need be no doubt but that bis
remarks will abound In political
key-Botes that will be caught up
and pondered upon by those who
take no stock either in Arthur,
Conkling or Grant. The second
notes will come when the Plumed
knight of Maine re.appears as q
member of the lower house from
Maine. 1t is very easy thing for
such heavy and discarded politi-
clans as Grant to sit down upon
Blaine in their imaginations; but,
when it comes to the reality, they
will find that they have settled
down on . veritable hornets nest.
The preliminary notes of battle are
now being heard in the newsps-
pers. These are but the little puffs
which announce u political 81 moon
that will surely rival any physical
manifestation which has ever been
seen either on the Sahara or Col.
orade Desert.

THE late Democratic Congress
In its apportionment, which un-
fortunately fell through, gave Cal.
ifornia six members of the House
Of Representatives, q gain of tive.
The present Republican Congress
can only manage to squeeze out
i've, thus giving us but one Con-
gressman at large, as against two
in the Democratic apportionment.
For this Republican blessing 1t is
hoped that we may be duly thank
ful. It simply means that iD1us'

cause these Republican sohemeri
are afraid that the Congressmen al
large would be Democratic. Thai

AN esteemed morning contem.
porary, which early announced
itself as Independent with Repub.

to hear Of one candidate for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
tion. and bases q feeble show OF ex-
ultation upon this asserted fact. 1t
assumed to found its statement
upon . survey Of the Democratic
press of the State. Now the truth
10 that candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination are unusually
abundant in this year of grace
1882, . circumstance which is
brought about by the fact that any
Democrat Of good party standing
and character Is morally certain to
win. Our contemporary will
probably see this more clearly
whom, rs will inevitably be the
case, its party is split up the mid
die, here and elsewhere, before the
Fall elections. It Is a little too
soon to go into the business of
naming the winning horse. The
dsld in politics as on the turf Is
generally q very safe proposition.
But with . recent ex-Democratic
Governor and Lieutenant Gov.
ernor, to say nothing Of q score of
others, quite willing to head the
Democracy, it is q little absurd to
talk about paucity of Democratic
candidates.

The Texan Pecan Crop.

A Texan newspaper says that
heretofore the pecan crop, as y
source of revenue, has attracted
but little attention. No care what.
ever has been taken of the trees;
In fact, in many localities trees SO
and 100 years old have been cut
down solely to obtain the nuts.
Before the civil war the exports of
of these nuts from the port of In.
disnols alone were reported at
$100, 900; now it Is estimated that
the amount annually gathered ex.
ceeds So, 600, 900 In value. With
proper care of the trees and sys-
tematic gathering of the crops it is
believed that 500, 100000 could
be made annually. Millions of
bushels are lost every year by fall
ing upon the ground and rotting,
or being devoured by the hogs,
squirrels, turkeys, and other AMI
mails and birds. Except in en-.
closed pastures no claim is made
by the owners of the land to the
fruitage Of the trees. Mexicans
and negroes are the pecan gather
ers, and in some districts white
children.

The late railway developments
have had one effect, at least. In
addition to somewhat twisting the
nasal organs of Kern and San Di-
ego counties, they will leave very
large corps of engineers, like Othel-
10, without an occupation. It is
useless to disguise the fact that q
colossal railway game of "bluff"
has been on the cards, for q year or
30 past, on the Pacific Coast. En-.
gineering parties were put in the
field, with costly equipments, with
no other purpose than to indicate
to rival warning combinations that
blows could be given as we'll as
taken. All the time, there has
been no real purpose of competi.
tive warfare. After all, it don't
cost much for some half dozen
"bloated corporations" whose cap.
ital is tremendous and whose in.
come is enormous, to pay out a few
thousands of dollars in a game of
"bluff" The expenditure, In
fighting for position, does not
amount to one.sixteenth of one
per cent. of the dividends handled
by q prosperous company, al.
though the effect aimed at may be
chronicled in ten, fifteen or even
fifty per cent. in the final compro-
misses agreed upon. The real signi-
ficance OF late railway develop
ments is that the Central and
Southern Pacific Railway mag.
mates are, for some time to come,
to "boss" the Pacific side of the
continent, with ramification to
st. Louis and to New Orleans, W bile
Jay Gould reserves to himself the
Atlantic side of the same plethoric
continent. It's perhaps not the
most perfect thing to have such a
distribution of transcontinental
railway matters, but an unclouded
intellect always desires to arrive at
the cold facts. Not even Wander
bilt, with his many millions, can
distarb this programme in the
East; and We know OF absolutely
no one, in the. whole range of the
Pacific Coast, who can enter an au.
veto here.

Gold Mining In Georgia.

what is called a vacuum dredging
boat having been success.
fully tried on the Chestatee river.
1t is designed to raise the gravel
from the beds of rivers, washing
the sand and separating the gold
from 1t. Alta recent trial the boat
raised the sand by the vacuum sys-
tenn at the rate of from two to four
tons every five minutes. The sand
was rapidly washed automatically
In sluice boxes and the gold COL
lected in quicksilver. As the re-
suit of three hours work 5000 worth
Of gold was secured. The expense
was not more than $12. The sand
was found to be very rich, and it is
said there is enough in the rivers
