A Beautiful Legend.

There was dispute among three maid
ems as to which mad the most beautiful
hand. One sat by stream, and dipped
her hand into the water. and held it up /;
another plucked strawberries until the
ends Of her fingers were pink. and another
gathered violets until her hands we're fra
grant. An old haggard woman passing
BY asked. "Who will give me gilt, for
ON poor ?" All these denied her but an
other who sat near. unwashed in the
stream, unstained with fruit, unadorned
with flowers, gave her gift, and satisfied
the poor woman. And then she asked
what was the dispute, and they told, and
lifting up before her their hands. Beau
tiful, indeed" said she, when she saw
them. But, when they asked her which
was the most beautiful. she said, at is
not the hand that is washed clean in the
brook, il is not the hand that is tipped
with red, il is not the hand that is gar
landed with fragrant flowers, but it is the
hand that gives to the poor that is most
beautiful" As she said these words her
wrinkles fed. her staff was thrown away,
and she stood before them an angel from
heaven with authority to decide the ques-
ton in dispute.

It used to be supposed that the English
Court OF Chancery was the most remark
able tribunal in the world for its practice
of holding estates until they had been
squeezed dry but Congress, in its treat
ment of the McGarrahan case, bids fair TO
surpass the Lord Chancellor. That claim
has been so often and so thoroughly exam
ined that it is utterly impossible for any
thing more to be said of it. That it is a
fraudulent claim has been declared so often,
both by Congressional committees and all
manner of Courts, including the Supreme
Court of the United States, that no posi-
bic ground can exist for doubling the truth
of the conclusion. It has been kicked out
of every place into which it has been thrust.
And yet session after session we find its
promoters still pursuing Congressmen with
their opportunities, still clamoriDg for an.
other hearing, still hoping and believing
that some day they will encounter COM
mittee foolish or venal enough to report in
their favor. a dispatch yesterday stated
that committee has been four weeks AZ
work on this claim. In the name of com
nonsense, doing what' Nothing remains
to be ascertained about it. 1t has been
sifted a dozen times to the very bottom.
the claimants have no equities and no
rights. 1t is bold, nefarious, shameless
attempt to steal large amount of prop
erty. We do not believe that any com
mittee in Congress is SO lost to decency and
SO regardless of its future as to brave pub
lie opinion BY favoring this corrupt and cut
rageous claim.

GRANVILLE AND BLAINE.

Lord Granville's reply to Blaine's latest
dispatch concerning the Clayton BulBer
treaty is in marked contrast to the hasty,
i'll. considered aud sensational argument of
the ex.Secrstary. It shows the difference
between real and amateur diplomacy, and
also the difference between responsible and
irresponsible propositions. Lord Granville
punctures every one of Mr.. Blaine's wild
propositions in the calmest but most con-
elusive msnner. He even conyiets Mr..
Blaine Of fresh piece of Ignorance in
regard to this very treaty, showing that the
difficulties which the ex.Secretary alleged
had been caused by the Clayton-Balwer
treaty were actually removed as far back
AZ 1860 by the voluntary action of Great
Britain. BE points out the nationality
Of Blaiue's pro position for the erection by
the United States of Notifications on the
territory of foreign power, and suggests

DROUGHT IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES.

A recent brief visit to portion CT the
southern territory of the State convinces
us. very much against our will, that the
lands of that section, not irrigated, will be
almost useless for crop raising the coming
season. The fruit growers of Los Angeles
county, having a we'll matured system Of
irrigation, will suffer no inconvenience or
loss from the drought, but the lands not
irrigated will fail to raise the supply of
cereals and provender for animals usually
produced in this county. A weeks rain,
even now, would materially change the
grain and hay prospect of this section, but
we fear it is too late to hope for such a
streak of good luck. A like condition Of
drought exists, also, in Kern, Tulare and
Fresno counties, as well as in the entire
lengthy expanse of the San .Joa.
quin valley. Where irrigation is not
the land is as dry as volume of Patent
Office reports, or powder flask minus the
powder. Kern, Tulare and Fresno couu-
ties are well irrigated, as is also portion
of San Joaquin-Fresno taking the lead.
A day spent in and around the Furnishing
town OF Fresno convinced us that the peo-
pie IN that vicinity were not much troubled
about the dry season, only as it might af
feet those occupying unirrigated lands.
The colonies are all represented as being in
prosperous condition, while the town Of
Fresno-the great business center of the
county-is as lively as any place in the
State, and its people have evidently plenty
of spare cash. if we may predicate an opin-
ion npon the fact that travelling theatrical
company played there recently for seven
consecutive nights, to full houses, at a
dollar head. There is no gloom or de-
spondency to be noted in the town. On
the contrary, the outlook is in every way
encouraging Il Alameda Encinsl.
