The possessions of some OF the great
landowners of this section are prodigious.
It is favorite story that certain men are
able 10 drive a herd of cattle from the
northern counties of the State to San Diego,
at It's extreme southern limit, and quarter
the animals every night upon their own
territory. Haggln, Carr, and Tevis,
whose property was privileged to exam
inc considerably IN detrl, have some four
hundred thousands acres. Much of this
was secured for mere tri1e while In the
condition of waste land, and afterwards
redeemed. A nelghbor who had acquired
great estate of similar kind, mainly
while holding the post of Surveyor Gener-
al OF the United States, drew forth one Of
the best bonmots of President Lincoln.
LET me congratulate you," said Lincoln
as this gentleman was retiring from office
under his adminlsr ition. "You have
become monarch of about all you have
surveyed"
The owners do not often live on their
own estates, but leave them Ia the hands
of managers, and draw the revenues.
The Haggin, Carr and Tevis prop arty is
divided into q number of separate ranches,
each with It's resident superintendent.
The Bellevue Ranch, so called, ID the
centre and focus of authority for the
whole, Here is the residence and Office of
the general manager, and here are assem-
bled force of bookkeepers, engineers and
mechanics, who keep the accounts, map,
plan, supervise, construct and repair, and
give to the whole the clockwOrk regularity
OF a great commercial enterprise. The
numerous buildings constitute considera-
BILE settlement. There is ''store" of
general merchandise and supplies. A
dormitory and dinlng-hall have been
erected for the laboring hands. A tower
ike water tank, surmounted by wind
mill, and accommodating milk room
below, rises at one side. There are shops
for the mechanics, capaclous barns and
long sheds filed with an interminable
array of agricultural implements. 1t is
worth while to take walk past this
collection of reapers, thrashers, sulky
plows and rakes, and study out their uses.

rises from the rest like some awe-inspirlng
leviathan of the deep. A whole depart

The PIous President.

cars, have your"
''No, l can't say that | have.'
'Then, don't you see, If we don't light
up they would be more apt to patronize
our road, and the profits would be more
than commensurate to the growls of the

"R'm, yes. Very true. In future, If
any conductor allows lamp to be lighted
in bis train while going through tunnels
let him be discharged at once," said the
ploUs president.

The Queen of Greece.

Queen Olga looks very Polish, altho Ugh
she resembles her aunt, the q leen Of Han
over The Grand Duke Constantine was
Vice-Emperor of Russian Poland when
she was a thld, when accounts for 80
much in her air and manner that re-
minds one Of the Warsaw ladies. The
lace is very regularly propnrtioned, and
yet not in the least classical. Her halr
Is still very fine, aud curls naturally.
1t is drawn back from the forehead with
a comb such as we see IN the pictures
Of "Allce III Wonderland" The face Is
round In its front contour. 1t is lighted
up by pair of dark beaming eyes,
which have a soft kindly express ion.
The Qieen is simple and natural. She
looks at once gentle and woman OF
spirit. In giving informal audiences, she
plays a good deal with her pet deg.
Like the King, she Is more and more
struck each time she revislts France,
with the vitality OF the French people,
their happy activity (for, busy Gs they
are, They have time to look around
them, and seem to enjoy keeping their
eyes open), and their extraordinary
prosperity.

JObu Goldenberg,

The career OF John Goldenberg, who
lately died at Wlesbaden worth many
millions of dollars, was a strange one,
He never spoke of his origin, but he
was probably born in Gallcia. Circum-
stances led him while still young man
to the Levant, and finding no footholI
there he turned his steps toward the
East, and eventually found himself iu
Burmah. He had no sooner crossed
the border than he was stopped by a
party OF natives, who proceeded to ran
sack the pack which he carried over his
shoulder. Among other articles they
found box of pOmade. which, to his
amazement, they began to eat with
great apparent relish. This incident
led him to reflect that among such a
barbarous people a clever European
might make his fortune. He began his
operations by trading in teak wood, and
having at length secured the favor of
the king by making the first coined money
ever seen In Burmah, he obtained q mo-
nOpOly of the teak forests. and advanced
rapidly to great prosperity. In 1876 he
returned to Europe by the way of Pesth,
where he married young girl, from
whom he was soon afterward separated.
Last spring he made the acquaintance
of Ina Moller, an Austrian pianist
(whose more famous sister is the act
ress Fraulein Lenau), and last August
he marrie1 her in LONDON. He died
suddenly in Wiesbaden on Sept. 81,
while they were making a wedding
tour of Germany. His wife Is the sole
heir Of his vast property.

Lord Amherst, Gems. Hervey and Desag-
uiliers, and number of other officers,
with a rltie-gnn, upon new construction,
by Capt. Ferguson, Of the Seventeen
Regiment; when that gentleman, under
the disadvantage of heavy rain and
high wind, performed the following four
things, none of which had ever before been
accomplished with any small arm; First, he
fired during four or five minutes at tar
get, at 200 yards distance, at the rate of
four shots each minute; second, he fired
SIX shots in one minute; third, he fired
four times per minute, advancing al the
rate os four mics IN the hour; fourth, he
poured a bottle OF water in the pan and
barrel of the piece wheo loaded, 80 as to
wet every gram Of powder, aud In less than
half a minute fired with her as well as
ever without extracting the ball. He also
hit the bull's-cye 100 yards lying with
his back on the ground: and notwith-
standing the unequ4lness OF the wind
and wetness of the weather, he only
missed the target three times during the
whole course OF experiments, The Cap
tain has since taken out patent for the
said improvements" The invention at
tracted good deal of attention, aud be-
fore long was exhibited before the King
at Windsor 10y some private men of the
Guards. But IN the presence of majesty
the marksman were shy, and shot wild.
"They would not" said the captain,
'be so embarrassed in the presence OF
your Msiesty's enemies. Ferguson
then took rifle himself, and nine shots
which he fired at the distance of leo
yards put five balls into The bulps-eye of
the target and four within as many inches
of IT. Three of these shots were fired as
he lay on his back, the other six standing
erect. Being asked how often he could
lead and fire IN minute, he SAID seven
times; but added, pleasantly, that he
could not undertake in that time to knock
down five OF his Majesty's enemies.

Parliamentary Curiosity.

In 1877 a man who died in Berlin,
leaving behind him fortune of "a, 900
marks, surprised all who knew him by
devIsing that 80, 900 marks should go to
the authorities of his native place, and
that the remainder should be divided
between nine relatives and friend with
whom he had quarreled, the share OF
any enc OF the legatees becoming for
telted ii he followed the testator to the
grave. His relatives relgiously obeyed
the dead mans decree, but the estranged
friend, remembering old times, could
not refrain from going quietly
to the church yard and paying his last
respects to the deceased. By and by
a codlcil came to light directing that if
any one OF the teu le9atees under the
Will should disobey the inJunctions re-
garding the last ceremony he was to
receive the bulk of the money left to
the testator's town, and, thanks to the
shrewd device, the man who thought
more of his old friendship than his old
friends money found himself comforta-
bly, provided Tor for the rest Of his life.

The early dawns first pale and gllmmering ray
But through my heart rang ever, as dreamed
The poets plant: "Give me but Yesterday"
Through swlftly-opening doors, with dying feet,
My little daughter with her curls of gold
Came eagerly the morning sun 10 greet;
The little maid whom yesterday we told
Tomorrow, II the skies were not unknd,
out into country meadows she should go,
With beating heart and shining eyes 10 lind

Flushed in the morning light, she danced and sang
While forgot the poets nurmurlng lay,
As through the room her sweeter wisdom rang;

Peppermint Drops.

Take q convenient quantity of dry
granulated sugar place it In. pan
having a lip from which the contents
may be poured or dropped add very
little water, just enough to make the
sugar stiff paste, two ounces of water
to pound of sugar being about the
right pi pioportion /; set it oyer the ire and
allow 1t to nearly boil, keeping it con-
tinually stirred it must not actually
come to full boil, but must beremoved
from the fire just as the bubbles demo-
ting the boiling point is reached begin
to rise. Allow the sirup to cool little,
stirring all the time add strong essence
of peppermint to sWt the taste, and
drop on tins, or sheets of smooth white
paper. The dropping is performed by
tilting the vessel slightly, so that the
contents will slowly run out, and with
small piece of stiff wire the drops may
be struked off ON 10 the tins or paper.
They should then be kept in warm
place for few hours to dry. If desired,
little red coloring may be added just
previous to dropping, or portion may
be dropped in plain white form, an
the remainder colored. There Is no
reason why peppermint should alone be
used with this form of candy, but con-
fectioners usually confine themselves to
this flavor. Any flavor may be added,
and great variety of palatable sweets
made i'll the same manner. If desired,
these drops may be acidulated 10y the
use of little tartaric acid and favored
with lemon, pineapple, or banana. In
the season of fruits, delicious drops
may be made by substituting the juice
of fresh fruits, as strawberry, raspberry,
etc., for the water, and otherwise pro
ceeding as directed.

The Mechanics Capital.

The mechanic is somcti mes leo led upon
as MN with Jut carital Sometimes he
looks upon hlmsef in this light. This is
all q mistake The man who earns 5 600
q year has lot only capital, but in these
times of low interest, he has considerable
capital. The manufacturer and the nier-
chant aim to increase their capital by a
iudicious handling of the preseni means.
The mechanic does. or should try, to in
crease his In the same way. knowledge
10 the mechanic is capital, because 1t
enables him to com nand more for his ser
wees. If he possesses the skill OF the
workman, he can make that skill earn MIN
a certain sum per year, which sum is the
exponent of the capital, he has invested
in his business. If, to the skill OF work
man, he adds the knowledge of the man
who thinks hey Ond present purposes, be
earns more, or, IN other words, he increases
his capital The young machinlst, for IN
stance, who learns machine dra aTlng, is
morally certain at some time to find use
| for it where it will stand exactly to HIM as
the money of the capitalist stands TO its
possessor; tholgh this is hardly fair state
ment, because he will at once find use for
| it. When the man who earn 81 600 year
by virtue Of his skill as workman adds
such knowledge TO his business as to earn
81, 600, he has as surely doubled his CAPT
tal as The man who has twice as much
money to invest IN his busines as he for
merly had. 1t is earnestly advised tnat
every apprentices to the machine business
! shall do little calculation for himself on
this subject always remembering that
capital which is the result OF skill and
knowledge is seldom at a discount and
never lost. It is just at this time In their
lives when habits are formed, that to a
great extent determine the working capital
with which they are to go through life.
