The Generous Vallejo.
From the Petaluma (Cal.0 Argus.

One of the pleasantest incidents of the
golden wedding of Gen. NJ. G.. Vallejo,
which took place some weeks ago at the
generals home In Sonoma, has so far es-
capped public print. We propose to give
it as it was related to us by Gen. Muir
ray WhalIon, of Sonoma, who was in
our city on Tuesday last. 1t appears
that in response to numerous very COM
piled at some length, giving many in
stances of relief that he had furnished
the pioneers of the early day prior to
the discovery of gold, when the raising
of stock was the only business of profit
to the people who found themselves away
off In the wilds of this western slope. A
man with his family had reached here
and found himself In almost destitute
circumstances. and hearing of Gen. Val
lejo and learning that application to the
general for succor meant immediate re-
lief, presented bis claim. He was imme-
diately furnished with fresh horses and
some stock, and he then asked the gen
eral If out of his great possessions he
would not give him small tract of land
whereon he could make himself home.
raise his family, and in time enlarge his
herd of cattle. The general being pre-
possessed in the mans favor. told him he
would consider the matter, and asked
s'Well. how much land do you want ?"
The emigrant replied that his desires
were modest; that he only wanted a
small home, and would be perfectly sat-
isfied with league of land. The gen.
eral Immediately replied: "Why, [
will give you five leagues" "No," said
the emigrant, 'fthat is more than [ want ::
with one league I can manage to sup
port my family" swell, then" said
the general, by way of a compromise,
stake three leagues" "No," persisted
the ernigrant, ct want but. one league;
that will be quite sufficient. The gen
era1 then raised his straight figure to
It's full height, and, throwing an air of
authority in his voice, made reply:
" Sir, you must take two leagues or
will put you in the calaboose." The
deed was made and the emigrant en-
tered upon landed estate, and thus
avoided the generals prison bars. The
man to whom the land was given is still
living in this state. The general, when
telling the story, shook with laughter
and good humor, evidently enjoying the
recollection of his generosity In the days
when he was the nabob of the land. And
we doubt not, that even though he him
selfis almost landless, he prefers the re-
collections of his many open-hearted
charities amp enjoys them more heartily
than were he the possessor of millions
and compelled to look back on the
wrecks of happiness and the sum of hui
man misery that to their SUBMITS
lead" Truly, the general is one among
million-a gentleman of the olden
time.

A MARKET gardener had very fine
COW that was m1lked week after week by
hired men. He observed that the
amount of butter he carried to market
weighed about a pound more On each al
ternate week. He watched the men and
tried the cow after they had finished
milking, but always found that there
was no milk left In the teats. Hefnally
asked the Scotch girl who took care of
the milk if she could account for the diff
ference. "Why, yes" she says,
"When Jim milks he says to the old
COW, SO! my pretty muley, sol" But
when Sam milks he hits her on the hip

not always possible to decide with GER
talnty whether or not a young SOW will
prove to be good mixer, but as with
COWS so with pigs, we may learn from
observation and trial to know in some
degree, Judging from their general ap-
pearance, what to expect. Many will
depend upon the dam and grand-dam in
this regard. Milking qualities in swine
are as surely transmissable to progeny
as In cattle.
A CORRESPONDENT to the Cultivator
and Country Gentleman, writing from
Mattituck, n. Y, about understanding,
says: edo not be afraid of deep drain
ing is my advice. The capital you sink
will be returned to you in the course Of
a very few years in the improved fertil-
ity of your land, in larger crops, and in
the greater ease with which you can cul-
tivate the soil. If it is pasture you are
draining, you will be surprised at the
abundance of fresh heritage that will
spring up all over the land like magic,
and if arabic land, at the increase yield
of your wheat and corn crops. In drain
ing, cut your main drain first, into which
all the smaller drains are to empty, MAX
ing arms and laying down one or two
pipes for the smaller drains at the re-
quisite distances as you proceed with
the main drain. Be sure and lay pipes
or tiles of a sufficiently large caliber in
your principal drain to carry off the
water freely. Better go to the expense
of laying 5-inch pipe, and have it work
well, than to put in a 3-inch pipe and
find, when there is heavy downfall of
rain, that it is too small to do the
work.

THE OLD GRAVEYARD
BY CHARLES WELLINGTON STONE.

The ancient graveyard slopes adown the west:
The faithful pines are keeping watch and ward,
Singing Cor 0ye g. er gentle requiem.
The summer sun goes down behind the hills:
It's RAYS come streaming over through the pines
With hight that seems to soften to the sound.
The timid white-top wells the ground below;
Such as the gray that silvers Ger the brow
Of some beloved mother, young with age.
There lie the hearts that gave us life and name;
Each with his own; but all each others own:
Gods acre makes the town the family.
Why have they made them all their beds alike?
Feet to The east, that stoutly trod the west?
Turn they with longing towards the olden home
The pine alone, the loving nurse that crooned
Above the early cradle of our race,
Can tell that immemorial instinct now.
In Christian days the folks forgot the pine;
And said they laid their loved ones thus to meet
The rising sun on Resurrection Morn.

LESSONS OF THE YEAR.

In the August report by counties OF
farming in Texas made by tho depart
ment of agriculture OF the general gov
eminent, there is one striking feature
Every correspondent speaks iavoably
of ali early planted crops. Thus fall
sown oats and other gram made splen-
did crops. Forty counties report early
planted corn good and the late poor or
more or less injured by the sun and
drouth. In running through the bal
ance Of the list they make the same re-
turns.
And thus it is every year. The
sooner our farmers accept our climate
of Texas as it is, or generally is, and
not what they want it TO be, the better
it will be for them. There are three
conditions precedent necessary to make
ram fall-heat, cold and moisture. We
have been singularly blessed with these
this year. But this has been an ex-
ceptional season. The present cool
summer is not likely to happen again
in a whole decade. That is the prime
cause of the extraordinary amount of
rain which has been received. We
may have prolonged drouth next
summer. ....
To avoid it as much as possible, a
full crop of wheat, oats and everything
else we can plant, should be put in the
ground this fall. All arabic land
should be broken up and made ready
for planting at the earliest day posi-
bic In January, February and March.
The whole crop should be of such Wig
orous growth by the usual time-say
June-dry, hot weather sets in, that it
can withstand the absence of rain for
long time. 1t is possible for corn to
be in such an advanced stage by the
middle of June a fair crop can be gath
cred, rain or no rain, after that. Get
in the seed early, and stop this foolish
fear about frost. There is forty times
more risk in drouth than in frost. 1t
is better to lose two or three bushels
of seed corn and the work you had in
planting it than to lose your whole
crop. If frost nips it completely, or
here and there, plant it over again. BY
this plan you will have two chances to
one now. .,...
The best way to farm in Texas is to
pretty much forget there is such sea-
son as winter. Plant grain and yege-
tables whenever you have any vacant
ground and desire to make crop,
provided that crop is long distance
off July and August. These months
are reserved for the exclusive benefit
of cotton. Weather suited for cotton
will kill everything else. You must
make corn before it sets in or not at
ell.-Dallas Planter d Farmer.

The South RediYiyus.

Most cheering intelligence comes from
the South. That part OF the country
is undergoing o new birth. The thrt es
of disastrous war have passed away,
and she is rising in her strength. More
than this, size is apparently entering
into new period OF her existence, for
which the ants-secession period can
offer no parallel. The establishing of
a superior system of labor, guided by
intelligence and improved mechanical
appliances of every description, opens
the way for new industries and the
opening of resources as yet scarcely
explored. We can believe that it is no
extravaganza of language to adopt and
indorse the words of gentleman re-
Gently returned from an extended tour
through Virginia, the Carolinas, Geor-

rapid and gigantic strides which are to

the next few years will astonish the
world. The States south of the Ohio
have all the elements of prosperity to
be found in the most favored parts OF
the world, and, lying in the center OF
civilization ready to hand with an in,
telligent people around them and fast
developing in them, there can be no
measure to the impetus now taking
shape there. This is to be the new de-
parture in this nation. This section is
to be the theatre of new and i'm

a new mining world is to be developed,
and manufacturing enterprise which
has no equal in the world" We predict
that ere long the discontinued people

advantages offered them in the sunny

will turn that way, making the desert
