Wa have frequently spoken of the posi-
bililies and profits OF vegetable gardening
in the south, and urged the matter upon
those Of our own immediate section.
Instances multiply to sustain us in the
position that the enterprise, wherever
adopted, is one of the best paying in which
the agriculturist can engage. Even the
sand barrens OF Georgia are being made to
blossom like the rose. We commend to
eur leaders the following extract apropos to
the subject: Tourists from the north and
west passing through southern Georgia are
wont to speak disparagingly of the piney
sand barrens that there abounds. as if they
were a worthless district OF the state. Bun
the Atlanta Constitution comes to the de.
fence OF its barrens by declaring that the
whole region within the reach of railroad is
In process of transformation, and in few
Years will be vast truck farm. Il says los
bushels of oats have been produced on an
acre of this land at cost not exceeding so;
ll9 bushels OF corn have been produced on
an acre at cost not exceeding $780, sweet
potatoes the best in the world, yield 500
bushels to the acre, and in many instances
the net income from one acre OF water
melons is Sli0. If the Georgia sands can
be made to do thus much, what could we
not expect from the proper efforts in the
same direction in our own fertile surround
ings A ready sale, both north and east,
can always be found.

IT is earnestly to be hoped that the Mex

may cross the border in the pursuit of muir
derUus red skins and rustlers, who now
alter the preparation of outrages in Texas,
New Mexico or Arizona, find secure
asylum in northern Mexico, unless II force
Of the Mexican army are ready at hand
to check and drive them back. No harm
can come OF such an international agree
ment if cOuched in sufficiently explicit and
guarded terms, and no measure would ac-
complish 80 much in so short time towards
breaking up lawlessness on the border.

in favor of an understanding that will reach
the end desired in the premises.

Col. Il. NJ. BAYSE, Republican Con.
gressman from Allegheny county, Penn
sylvania, does not think much OF Arthur
as the Republican candidate for Presi'
dent. He is of the opinion that this
eminent exemplar OF department would
DO beaten in his own State by 100000
majority, while he would lose to the
party such ordinarily reliable Republican
States as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan,
etc. Bayne is right. There never was
greater piece of folly than the talk
about Arthur as possible Republican
Presidential candidate. He would be
ground as between the upper and the
neither milestone. Trituration would bo
a mild process compared to that to which
the accidental President would be sub.
iectod He would be cross-sawed be-
tween the Stal warts and the Half Breeds,
both of whom, in their hearts, despise
him. His betrayal Of Roscoe Conkling
has earned for him the contempt Of that
lofty chieftain and his friends, while the
fact that he went to Albany to lobby for
Conkling's reelection has fixed his
status with the Hall Breeds. Before
Judge Folger identified himself with
Arthur's administration he was one of
the most popular men in the Empire
St,ae. The election of Cleveland by q
plurality of 1877 900 over Arthur's Secre-
tory of the Treasury was really blow
at Arthur and his methods, rather than
at Folger. Should Arthur capture the
Republican nomination for President he
would then have the same opportunity
that Folger had of seeing just how he
stands. Tie will only regret the expe.
rience once, should he undergo il, and
that would be forever.

Some San Diego Mines.

Many OF our readers have from time
to time been interested, and then sud
denly disinterested, in the mines in the
neighborhood of Julian in San Diego
county, and will be pleased to read the
following from correspondent of the
Calico Print, who says;
Thinking the mining news from this
part of Southern California might in.
tersst your readers, took a iaunt
through the different districts. The
Shenandoah mine on La Mesa was first
discovered and worked about nine years
ago by Fred Scholder and Robert Reed,
who afterwards put up a Crocker FIVE.
stamp mill, and worked awhile, but with.
out much success, so they shut down
and the mine lay idle until about year
and half ago, when Messrs. Gordon,
Luce, Morse Il Conklin, of San Diego,
took hold of it and sunk 100 feet ON the
ledge, put up a live.stamp mill, and
have been hammering out about 500 q
week ever since. Tho main shaft on
which hoisting works have been placed
is l20 feet to the car track ON the first
level, which is about 100 feet on the
south, and from sixty to seventy feet on
the north. Most OF the ore milled SO
far has come from the south drift aud
Slopes, three TO four hammers being
sufficient to keep the mill running Not
so much has been done in the north
drift, but still sufficient to show up quite
a body of low grade orc, that is, ore
that will work from Sl2 to $50 per ton.
The company put sinking gang to work
about two weeks ago, and are down
about twenty feet below the car track,
and have two-foot ledge that will work
at least 500 from wall to wall. The
company contemplates adding FIVE more
stamps to their mill as soon as they reach
water, which is looked for at about 200
feet. Mr. j. NJ. Farley is the energetic
and accommodating superintendent of
this mine, and n better man for the posi-.
tion would be hard TO find. | see a
couple of old Calico boys are working
here-Mike Ford and Page-both look,
ing well ana hearty.

TIM other day, without any flourish
Of trumpets, or clash Of cymbals, the
frat consignment of immigrants direct
from Europe via the Southern route, un'
der the auspices OF the Southern Pacific
Railway, passed through this city. This
incident will be frequently repeated In
the near future. Twelve Of these i'm.
migrants stopped over in Los Angeles.
They will probably make their lasting
city with us and contribute to the growth
and prosperity Of this valley. We uu-
derstand that the people who constitute
what might be called these immigration
excursions are Of highly desirable class.
The Southern and Central Pacific agents
are bending their efforts towards induc'
ing settlement from the Kingdom OF
Great Britain aud Ireland, the Scandina-
vian countries and Central Europe.
Most Of these immigrants are either
young or in the prime of life, and many
Of them possess considerable means. The
ratio of increase in the population Of
California during the decade between
1870 and 1880 was quite large; but, un-
der this new and enlightened policy, 1t
cannot fail to be greatly accelerated We
ought TO be able to chronicle the pos.
session of million and half Of people
in California by the year Of grace 1890,
and in no section OF the State will the
ratio Of growth be 50 large as in Los
Angeles county and Southern Cali
fornia.
