Schneider's Tomatoes.

Schneider is very fond of tomatoes.
Schneider has friend in the country
who raises "garden sass and sich."
Schneider had an invitation to visit
his friend and regale himself on his
favorite vegetable. Hisfriend Pleiffer
being busy negotiating with city
produce dealer on his arrival, Schnei-
der thought he would take stroll in
the garden and see some IF his favor
ties in their pristine beauty. We
will let him tell the rest of the story
in his own language:

ATLANTIC STEAMSHIPS.

Speed of steamships has been so in
creased that seven days is coming to
be thought not unusual run across
the Atlantic. One or two steamers
make it in less time. 1t is estimated
that more people by One-fourth will
cross the Atlantic this year than ever
crossed in the same length of time be-
fore. 1t is now much cheaper to cross
the ocean in q steamship than in q
sailing vessel, the time made by the
former is so much shorter than that
made by the latter that the saving in
food alone amounts to a large sum.
The steamship is now considered es-
sential in carrying not only the mails
but valuable goods of all kinds. The
steamship is patronized quite as gen.
orally by the poor immigrant as by
the wealthy tourist. There are now
about hundred first-class steamships
Europe and New York. This very
cient to carry all the passengers who
apply. Applications must be made
some time in advance OH all the fa-
vorite lines. Persons who obtain
tickets on popular steamers in ad-
vance of sailing can readily sell them
at an advance. Almost every steamer
that sails carries as many passengers
as it can by any arrangement accom-
modate. Greater security to live and
property if afforded than formerly.
Accidents are now very rare. The
number of steamships Is multiplying
so rapidly that grave fears are enter
tanned of collisions. The steamers
leave New York, Liverpool and Glas-
gov in fleets. Not unfrequently or
10 leave within a few minutes of each
other. They sail with great rapidity,
no matter what the condition of the
weather may be. They meet or are
likely to meet steamers passing In an
opposite direction i'll almost any part
of the ocean. The plan isproposed for
ever steamship company TO select a
distinct route or ''lane,p as it is
termed, and to constantly stick to it.
In fact this plan isfollowed by at least
one company. 1t is also proposed TO
obtain more Information about ice
bergs, especially concerning their
course and rate Of drifEiu. It's isthought
that by stuG Sing tAz.y charncte,
means can be found for avoiding dan
gers from them. In the opinion OF
some, steamships may be SO managed
that their numbers may be promotive
OF great security. They will sail by
routes that will make collisions un-
likely, while they will be SO near each
other that they can afford immediate
assistance If 1t is necessary.-Er.

Journals of Nevada begin to confess
what has long been apparent to all OBJ
servers, namely, that their so-called
state is in bad way. They say their
state is upon the threshold Of great
problem. growing out of the probable
ity, which now approaches a certainty,
that the Comstock lode will never
more pay for working, and that twill
be practically abandoned. Then comes
the question as TO what the people
will do. The Reno Gazette says Ne
vada has lived the life of drunkard
for 20 years, and now that the stimu-
liant is withdrawn she must go to work
to build up her system, develop oil
natural wealth, look to agriculture,
economize, save, get out of debt, and
in time recover from her gambling
debauch and become independent.
The advice would be very well if Ne
vada had agriculture and other re-
sources. But her vast area Is only an
arid waste, where, as the great prophet
has expressed 1t, the Creator has
stretched out upon the land 1.-THE line
of confusion and the stones of empti-
ness" The whole of Nevada does moi
possess an area of productive soil equa
to that of county of the Willamette
valley. How her people are to look tc
agriculture does not appear, unless
they take their departure for Oregon
or Washington.

According to the Tacoma Ledger,
civil engineer Tilton Sheets is organ
izing party of Northern Pacific sur
veyors, which will leave the Kalama-
Tacoma railroad at South Prairie and
strike out for the Green river passes,
one of which is favored by the Chief
Engineer above all the Cascade passes
explored. His party will be complete
in every respect and fully equipped
for instrumental work. The object of
the expedition under Mr.. Sheets is to
make definite location of the line of
the Cascade division in the direction
Of the Garfield pass, which is one of
Green river passes, and his line will
extend to the mountains. On the
eastern side tEngineeer Ward will be
engaged in similar work, definitely To-
eating from the mountains eastward
to Ainsworth, thus leaving the loca-
ton ut the mountain portion OF the
line through Garfield pass for other
parties.

That the British Government, with
all its wealth, power and trained men,
has so far been unable to discover the
least positive trace of the murderers
of Lord Cavendish and Mr.. Burke, is
one of the most remarkable things in
the legal and police affairs Of modern
times. Four men, in almost broad
daylight, in a public park, and in the
presence of half dozen witnesses, as
sailed two Of OF the leading men OF the
country, aud In y most horrible man
ner stabbed them to death, inflicting
eighteen wounds. They then jumped
into their wagon and drove off, and
from that time to this, as far rs known,
have been unseen aud unheard of. II
but one man had been concerned in
the crime his escape would not have
been so remarkable, but for four men
to get away in this manner is extra
ordinary.

The Arizona Star reports Gen. For
syth, Lieutenant Colonel, 4th Cav, as
saying "that his reception by Colonel
Garcia after the latter's engagement
with aud defeat of the hostiles was ex-
tremely courteous. Garcia politely in
formed him that it was necessary for
him (Forsyth) to return to his own
country; that the Indians had been
encountered and defeated by his Mex
lean troops, and that il he persisted in
trespassing upon Mexican soil 1t would
be his (Garcia'sl duty to oppose him.
Gen. Forsyth accompanied Col. Gar
cia to the battlefield and counted rs
good Indians. He also interviewed q
daughter of Iocos's, who informed
him that thirteen Indians had been
killed in the fight at STEMS Peak
with Forsyth. The latter had only
claimed 2 killed"

The following is told by the Pierce

Others the roof OF the barn Of g. A.

over the roof Of the place where the
pigs sought shelter remained undis-
turbed until few days ago, when q
cleanup took place, and 10 jaw bones
of hogs were found, showing that that
many lost their lives at that time.

NUMBER A.

A pair of old trousers were hanging
up in Hymer's stable, says the Reno
Gazette. An Indian came along and
asked the generous proprietor TO be-
stow upon him the abandoned gar
men, which request was granted. The
pleased and smiling red man retired
into horse-stall and lowered himself
into the breeches and walked off with
profuse thanks. He was happy as
lord for about fifty yards; then he was
seen to stop and think, but not long,
for he stripped off his new present in
two motions, and, with a whoop and
hollow, lit out like deer, or any
thing else that goes quick, with
score or two of enraged hornets after
him. A nest of these startling insects
had been built in a bay window of the
breeches, and were warmed into Wig
orous life by the animal heat of the
red-skin. He will eat his grub off a
high table for some days.

Paul Lesuer has discovered valua-
ble deposit of granite, of which the
Spokane Chronicle says: Three miles
south of Cocalalla lake is perpendic-
ular bluff that lies about one quarter
of mile from the II. X. track. 1t is
about 800 feet long, 500 feet broad and
60 feet high. A beautiful spring. Of
water flows from each side. This bluff
is entirely granite of light grey color.
The foot of the bluff is about IL feet
above the level of the II. r.. track.
The rock is of very fine grain, easily
dressed and takes very high polish.
Mr.. Lesuer took some of the granite
to Portlend and sent specimens to San
Francisco, and the tests prove it to be
the best quality of granite on the Pa
cific coast. He will arrange to open
the quarry as soon as the railroad is
completed to Portland.
