The Potato Crop.

SeneFdllN throughout the entire country,
so that the tables even of some of our
farmers were supplied in part from i'm
portatl0ns from Ireland and Germany.
The loc2 crop was better, except in New
England and some of the other Eastern
and Middle States, where the drouth was
unusually severe at the tine the tubers
should have been making their best
growth.
At the West and in Northern Maine
the season was more favorable, especially
ID ATOoSt0ok, the great potato section of
the country Bat the rot, which made
its appearance late in the season, while
the harvesting and shipping was at its
height. rather demOraized the market,
many shippers being afraid to handle or
store them i'll large quantities. Many
who bought carly before the disease
showed itself, lost heavily by rot after
storage la Southern New England the
crop was one Of the lightest ever known,
many Of the fields being scarcely worth
0II-0L.
The season has again arrived for plant
ing potatoes, and the question. now to
plant SO as to secure a reasonably salts

Mrs. Langtry has given, in an interview. her
opinion of American women, and, as she is re-
garded as an expert on feminine beauty, her
ideas will probably find general acceptance in
this country. She says: Zone sees many more
pretty faces here than in England. They have
beautiful hair and very pretty hands and feet"
She thinks American girls are rather too plump
but their manners are charming. $50 free and
open, and such lack of self-consciousness.
They dress too well on the street, and not well
enough in the theatre"

Arrest of Thieves.

The police yesterday were especially
active in arresting thieves. Johnny
Mcdonald. Lorenzo Pablo and the two
Morales boys were arrested for stealing
goods which they intended selling to
junk dealer.
Mr.. Siogel, who keeps clothing
store opposite the new depot, yester-
day left the front Of his store to step
into the next door for cigar, supposine
his clerk was in the rear, but on his
return found that his clerk had been
in the yard, and in the mean time two
young men, Dennis sheely and P.
Cummings, had bounced the money
drawer and were just scaling the rear
fence. The Chief Of Police was noti-
fed, and in a short time both till
tappers were in jail.
A dispatch was also received yester-
day by the Chief, stating that one
Clarence Harvey, employed in livery
stable at Riverside, had collected
moneys and left for this city. lie had
raked in about $40 Of his employers
money, and driven his horse and
wagon to Cotton, leaving it there and
taking the cars for Los Angeles, aud
was prepared to enj5y himself. But
the Chief, acting on the dispatch. took
Mr. Harvey into custody, to await the
arrival of an officer from San Bernar-
dino The arrest of seven thieves in
one day was a pretty good job for a
hot day. The police have warrants
also for the arrest Of those who are
Obliged to pay city license. and have
not done SO. SO fun may be expected
unless they pay up to-day.

FASHION supporting BarbarIsm


Santa Barbara is developing new in
dustry in the capture, killing and sale
Of humming birds. to be sent to San
Francisco, Paris and New York fol-
trimming ladies' hats. Last year a
thousand OF these little beauties were
killed around santa Barbara by little
boys with slingshots, such as they use
to break windowglass, or to hurl stones
at dogs and horses. The taxidermists
pay ten cents apiece for the hon hum
mer and fifteen cents for the rooster
bird to the little bird murderers.
They then dress and stuff them and sell
them in San Francisco for fifty TO
seventy five cents, each, according to
plumage. A little Mexican boy with
small shot in his sling can bring in on
an average five birds day. The
devout ladies' of New York and Brook
lyn. who weep over the career Of cruel
boys, who kill birds and drown cats
and occasionally ornament a useless dog
with tin kettle or can, will contribute
literally to the 'tHome Missionaries" to
go out and convert these wicked boys
from their cruel practices, and then go
to Paris or London and buy for five or
ten dollars one of these dear little LOWE
dovie birds for their hats, for which a
little Mexican boy obtained ten cents,
and then come home to tell at the next
sewing circle what lovely things they
have in Paris; and the venerable secre-
tary will read a long report from the
missionary at Santa Barbara, which
they think is in some barbarous country,
telling of the spread Of religion and
asking for another Thousand dollars to
expend in feclaiming these little fellows,
way off on distant Santa Barbara's
shore. The money is forthcoming and
the lady president Of the society orders
a companion hat from Paris, and the
little Santa Barbara boy must be niTble
Of foot and hurry away from Sunday
school with aim keen and sure to
have the bird ready for the bonnet, 80
he can get his little dime and a box Of
cigarettes and be again in bliss. And
so fashionable religion and female
vanity support barbarism in the pur-
suit OF all manner Of beasts and birds
around the world, to furnish female cos
tune with needless and questionable
ornaments.

Glass Manufacture.

The Importance Of glass mandatory
in this city has been repeatedly men
toned in the HERALD, with many rea-
sons why its establishment should be a
success. A later use for this wonderful
article Of commerce is mentioned by an
exchange as follows,
Glass Is beginning to take the place Of
wood and iron ia making railroad bridges
in England. The inventor makes blocks
of glass. which he hardens by a special
process. In soiidity it is said they have
nothing to be ,,esired. The experiments
already made have given surprising re-
suits and the Govt is below that of
bridges Of wood or iron, moreover the
glass can not be injured by insects like
wood, nor rusted like iron.
All that is necessary to be imported
Is the sand. and that can surely be found
here. or in this vicinity, Of the proper
quality. Altogether, it is an enterprise
that is well worth the trial.

yield in year. Still more striking was
his picture Of moving ''mouniain Of

two months in every year, moves west
ward past the Norwegian coast. Every
square mile OF this colossal column OF

fewer than $40, ,000,0 herrings. The

Yesterday at the Fashion Stables
crowds OF people gathered to see rare
monstrosity that had been placed on ex-
hibition by Hercules Vermet, of the A,
b. Collins ranch. The curiosity was a
deformed horse, three years Of age. The
animal is of magnificent build, having
beautifully formed limbs and rich
brown color, its defect being in the
neck, which has only grown six inches
in length. This brings the animals head
down ON range with its knees. II can
not raise its head up, it being necessary
to place its feed ON the ground, and
when it eats, one Of its forelegs is nearly
straight out in front of It, and the other
is extended backward The horse il
