The Founder Of Missions.

The report is made, on the statement
of Father Casanova, parish priest of
Monterey, that the grave of Father
Junipero Sierra has been discovered in
the old San Carlos Mission in Carmel
valley, about four miles from that town.
There has always been q tradition that
Sierra and fifteen Mexican Governors of
California were buried in the old church.
The exact spot where their honored
bones reposed was open to as much
doubt as the grave of Adam, over which
Mark Twain wept. Now it seems that
Father Casanova has begun the work of
digging away the debris of a century,
and has already brought to light the
bones of the founder of the Missions.
The name of Junipero Sierra is one of
the best known in the early mission
annals of this coast. He was a man of
singularly unselfish enthusiasm, devoted
to spreading his faith among the simple
minded Indians. He first established
the Mission at San Diego, then the San
Carlos Mission and afterward the other
missions ON this coast. He seemed to
have passionate desire TO set up the
cross in all parts of the State, but he
made his headquarters at 1.-The place
where his bones are now said to lie. In
the pleasant Carmel valley, overlooking
the pleasant little bay, he built the
church which forms to-day one of the
best monuments of the substantial archi-
lecture of the Mission Fathers.
But he did more than build churches.
He improved the ground, planting
choice varieties of grapes, pears and
other fruit. In the Mission garden at
San Carlos, now fallen into decay, is an
orchard of magnificent pear trees, with
trunks as large as a mans body. The
culture of the land and the training of
the natives went hand in hand. The
methods of the Fathers were primitive
but there is no question that this coast is
largely indebted to them for the eivili-
cation which it gained before the days
of American rule. 1t was an Arcadian
period of peace and happiness, when the
lust for gold was unknown and pastoral
pursuits and paternosters absorbed men
minds. The decoration of an alter was
of greater moment than the destinies of
the Old World from which they came.
They were .affiuent inleisure; they build
ed for all time; they were never hurried;
they scorned to lie or cheat; but they
took possession of the country, utilized
the natives and left substantial i'm
press upon the land which another CEN
fury of American vandalism will find it
difficult to remove. They deserve to be
remembered because they possessed
many of the traits which are most con-
spiciously absent in the life of the
adventurers who elbowed them out of
the way. San Francisco Chronicle.

Higher Prices For Butter.

GO Butter is advancing in price," said
Washington Market dealer on Friday,
and the best grades are likely to go
higher, | am afraid. You may smile; l
said afraid The high price of butter
is as much misfortune to the dealer as
to the consumer; perhaps more so. In
stead of the unusually high price
enabling us to make more money,
We make less, because we have
to sell it at closer margin, and
we sell so much less of it. Moreover,
our customers grumble. The advance
comes from entirely natural causes-a
short supply, in two words. There was
about thirty per cent. less butter made
in this State alone this season than last
season, and the shortage has been
proportionately as serious in several
other States. i'' 'i'''' go '''
"The rise in price for the best
butter is from six to eight cents a
pound by wholesale. Diaries that
could be bought few days ago
for thirty-five cents now bring forty
cents by the tub. Butter that few
weeks ago we wouldn'tbuy at any price
because it was not up to the standard OF
our trade, we have to take now, and are
glad to get it. Inferior butter that
couldn' t find a purchaser few weeks
since seems to go off now like hot cakes,
the big commission houses say. l.., 49,
"The cause of the short supply is, OF
course, the. drought of last summer.
which burned off the grass and grain in
all partsof the country. We have not felt
this much heretofore this season. because
there has been enough to supply the
demand up to this time. Now that we
begin to call on the reserve, we find
there is no reserve of good butter. The
reason why there is so much poor win
ter stuff in market, proportionateIv. is
because grain being scarce and hiob
the farmers sell all their grain, instead
OF feeding their stock upon it as usual
You can't make good butter in winter
unless the cows are fed on good fod-
der."-N. Y. Herald.

Have you heard OF the new scheme afoot
among the bellies OF Great Britain? asks the
London correspondent Of Tho Chicago News.
No. Then let me tell you that the art of
making up" has now achieved its topmost
height in the society Of London, and that all
other nations may as we'll take back seat,
right off. No longer does the rouge pot and
the bottle OF liquid white confine its tender
offices to the checks and necks of the boss
bellies OF Europe. A lady who has been prop
erly decorated for fine European ball or re-
cepton is nowadays a work of art The
latest wrinkle is the tracing Of delicate blue
veins upon the arms, necks, and-ahem the
chests of the gentle creatures who ornament
London society. There is an artist in this
great metropolis, hear, who makes sump-
tious living by following this branch of indus
try 1t isn't masculine artist o, dear, no.
1t is a staid and middle-aged female, who
failed as painter Of sheep and fences and
clothes-lines and things, and unto whose
ingenious brain appealed this notion. She
begins to fresco her subject by laying on a
layer Of delicate flesh color and upon this she
outlines her network Of light blue veins. This
is u curious country, particularly in regard to
it's women. As Mr. Labouchere touchingly
queries-upon hearing that out of ten people
brought up one morning last week at the
Marylebone police court nine were women
arrested for being drunk and disorderly-
what other country can equal this?"

Granville Moody's Prayer.

The Rev. Granville Moody, the sighting

up on a certain occasion, while closeted with
aAndyo Johnson, was the means by which the
tide of war was turned and the southern re-
bellion crushed. Mr.. Johnson had sent for
him at critical time in the Tennessee troubles
and asked him what would best be done. Let
us pray" was the response, and the two knelt
together, and Mr.. Moody prayed long and fer
vently, working up the spiritual faculties OF his
companion to white heat When at last ne
said aAmen,' Mr.. johnson sprang to his feet
and cried with a tremendous oath, moody, l

Providence Press.

Providence Press.
For several years past, at about
this time in the late summer season
or early autumn. there have com
monty appeared brief items in the
Westerly correspondence of Rhode
Island newspapers, concerning the
annual gathering of swallows in that
town. These items have seldom done
more than to state the fact of the
appearance, or, possibly, to give a
sketch Of their doings. Persons who
have noticed these items at all, or
given any thought to them, have,
from the meagre statements given,
considered the occurrence of no
special Importance or interest, but
| simply in accordance with the well,
known custom of swallows to flock
in groups before their annual de
| parture for the South; and when oc-
casionally, a statement has been
made that the swallows annually
flocking westerly could be numbered
by millions,it was thought to be mere
ly the eXaggeration of some enthusi-
astic correspondent. Only those who
have visited the place, in the proper
season, have any idea of how much
these stories meant. Upon an in
spectlOn their number seemed legion.
One could think of nothing but
snow storm with black flakes. From
the plalnest outlines of the lowest
flying birds, to the merest specks of
The most aspiring wanderers, the
picture was that OF constantly NOV
ing, intermingling millions Of little
winged creatures. IL was sight
never to be forgotten. At times. no
two seemed to be flying in the same
direction, though as whole the vast
company would sway from side to
side above the grove. Again, a group
OF hundreds, would take a common
direction, circling around the inner
circumference of the general com
pany, now descending towards the
tree tops with symmetrical sWOop,
or rising in the air until almost hid to
view. Then they would return to
The common crowd and resume their
separate courses as before
BY the mildest and most eonserva-
tive estimate that the reporter could
make, after talking with several who
observed the birds daily, and could
best judge Of their numbers, he was
forced to admit that there were at
least three millions of them. Tosay
that the cubic space occupied by the
birds in this nightly flying to and
fro, after nearly all have gathered,
does not exceed 500 feet dimensions
each way; and to believe that, COM
pressed into this space in their closer
flight, the birds would not exceed
twenty-five in each 1000 cubic feet
of space ten feet each way, is to
make estimates which all who have
seen the birds willsay are altogether
too far within bounds. And yet this
estimate would give at least 8, 125,-
600 birds.
