The sybarite's Rsverie.

One summer night in thoughtful moea,
unused alone in solitude,
When loi saw multitude
OF phantoms in the gloom.
They rode upon the Iiebf-winged breeze.
And played and danced among the trees,
Then swooped down like a swarm OF beees
Fair girls like flowers In bloom.
The sylphs wore colors rich and rare
And short gauZe skirts and shoulders bare.
And all II Guaint costume.
Their wild sports made the wilderness
An Eden-where ecstatie bliss,
With youths delightful joyousness,
Dfnused i1as k-roSe perfume.
The fairest that gay throng among
Her soft white arms around me flung,
And then the siren smiled and sung,
OF love and beauty.
The motley leaves took up the strain
And blended in sweet refrain,
And while they reycled round my brain
Weird echo Knocked the giee

Alone and charmed by music too?

Beneath the soft moons lingering sheen.
Enchanted in that gorgeous scene,

And gave her one warm kiss.

And chanted in deep, angry bass,

And with one loud, long, boisterous laugh
The witches all took wing.

I'll haunt you when and where you hide,

Then I woke in awful fright,
And shivered in the pale moonlight,
And reached home in a sorry plight,
With wand'r ring. aching head.

Two young ladies of Georgia, in spirit
of mischievous plesantry, treated their two
young men callers to roasted sweet pota-

outcome of the episode. The young men

THERE have been frequent rains in the
San Fernando Valley during the past
week II gives us great pleasure to be
able to state that the probability is that,
at the present writing, the wheat and
barley crop of that section promises this
season to be three times as large rs last
year. 1t is equally pleasant to be able
to say that the intelligence from all
other sections of this county is equally
cheering. Yet the kilograms from Los
Angeles published in the San Francisco
papers, in resume of the crops, day be-
fore yesterday, only ventured upon the
statement that our cereal crops promised
in the current to do as well as in the past
year. This is very peculiar telegraphing,
and it does gross injustice to this section.
There will be no end to the Los Angeles
crops this year. Taking this county as
whole, we shall this Summer have
more grain for expectation from San
Pedro-our surplus merely-than we
had altogether last year.

SENATORS JONES and Miller-the lat.
tor of "Wood Pulp fame--have lately
been interviewed by reporters OF San
Francisco journals. They both unite in
the opinion that the tariff will be the
leading issue in tho Presidential election
next year. In other words, while they
concede that the popular current is
Democratic to remarkable degree, they
have a faint hope that the Demo
cratic party will commit again the error.
as to the tariff, which, Senator Miller
says. lost the Democracy the election OF
Hancock. There is little doubt that
that unfortunate letter of Hancocks,
announcing that the tariff was only
local question, prevented one of the
best men that ever lived from becoming
President Of the United States. II is al
old aphorism, however, that lightning
never. strikes twice in the same place
and, next time, the Democratic party
will be rallied to the support Of triet
statesman, who will know how to say
the right thing in the right place All,
at the right time.

We cannot forbear noting a hope
full auspice for the Democracy in the
coming Presidential election. 1t is one
which signalized tho famous Hayes
Tilden campaign. 1t lies in the fact
that John Kelly is now, in time, out
lining himself as a mutinous member OF
the Democratic party. He is snarling
and showing his strong array of teeth,
as he did prior to and during the st.
Louis Convention which dominated Mr.
Tilden for President. The Democratic
party now, as then, is strong enough to
encounter the avowed hostility of this
political abortion. 1t may be question
tits question-as to whether it ispow-
erful enough to endure his friendship.
Governor Cleveland, in pushing him to
the wall, and telling him, in effect, to go
to the ID and shake himself, is pur.
suing the most sagacious policy possible
to wise Democratic leadership.
Every one remembers how superbly
Tilden carried New York, not
