DOLLAR OF THE DADDIEs.
Tho Charm II Has for Subjects of the Enete
Monarchics OF IN Old World.


Tho American dollar with big ID
possesses peculiar charm for all the
worlds people we of the soil need not
be told. We know it, intrinsic merit,
and are familiar with its purchasing
value. We are also aware that there
are not enough ofthem to goaround in
even respectable quantity, and hence
never abate our efforts in the scramble
for possession. IL is not unnatural,
therefore, that Il spasm OF jealousy
should be felt when we see what eager
aud carcssi Z tenderness our dol
lar inspires in Che minds and
ambitions Of those who cross the
ocean 10 make its acquaintance. They
may conceal their real purpose ever 30
adroitly, but their desire 10 know the
dollar inevitably crops out. They may
fiaiter and cajole, and astonish W. with
the apparent innocence OF their
Journey, but behind II all Is line vision
of the big silver disk. They may
even impress us for time with
TIE condescension Ia which we owe
the honor of their visit, but the sight
of the alluring dollar soon throws
them Off their guard. America ID Just
exceptionally honored by the multi
tude of its foreign dollar devOtees. We

sale of Navy Vessels.

WASHINGTON, June IS Secretary
Chandler will this week advertise the
following named useless naval vessels
for sale to the highest bidder above the
appraisal. This is in accordance with an
Act of Congress. These vessels have been
examined by board of inspection, and
their report has been approved by the
Secretary of the Navy and by Congress.
The total cost OF these vessels was about
S2O,N00,000. None of them are useful
for any naval purpose except a few which
are used as barracks and coal hulils, and
the board pronounced them dangerous
even for this purpose. This is u remark
able commentary upon the management
OF the navy. These are not, with few
exceptions, old anti-war ships. The old
est was built in 1911, but only ten were
constructed before the war: the rest have
been built since 1881. Eighteen were
built between 1863 aud 1867. Tie tim
bers of some of them, which have never
had deck pla NIX laid are rotten. They
are the Alaska, Blue Light, Benicia,
Burlington, Congress, Dictator Frolie,
Florida, Guard, Glance, Iowa Kansas,
Niagara, Narrasansett, Nyack, New Or
leans, Ohio, Old Monadonac, Pawnee,
Relief, Roanoke, Susquehanna, Shaw

Demand for Land.

san FIR ANCISCo, June 19.-The present
season has been noted for an unusually
lively demand for land i'll this State as
well as in other parts OF the coast. All
real estate dealers have had more than
a usual amount OF business. There has
been an increased demand for govern
ment and railroad lands. AS indicative
of such demand the sales OF the Central
Pacific Railroad Company last week
amounted to over 100000 in ssTehama
and Colusa counties. Within six days
four Thousand acres OF timber land in
Nevada and Placer counties have been
purchased. On the I4th inst. there were
twenty-five purchasers who bought from
forty to 700 acres each. The land in
Tehama county is grazing land, and an
equal amount in Colusa county is agri-
cultural. The largest amount sold in
one lot is 5000 acres in Cache county,
Utah, purchased by A F. Forr of Logan
City, and F. T. Hammond, county clerk
OF Cache county. These gentlemen, on
Saturday, consummated a sale in behalf
of 305 settlers in Utah, the purchasers
being already settled in Cache county.
The sale to them of this large tract OF
land One-half of which is agricultural,
will bring fully. .25,000 acres under culti-
walton. The total sales of the company
last week aggregated nearly Si50, 600.

Cnnturcd Anaches

WASHINGTON, June 1S-The Secretary
of the Interior has received the follow
ing dispatch from Indian Agent Wilcox:
San CARLOS AGENCY, June IG.-Gen-
eral Crook teleSraphs from Wilcox that
between four and five hundred Indian
prisoners, requiring to be fed, should be
here in four or five days. The presence
OF the renegade bucks on the reservation
will dissatisfy friendly Indians, excite
fear and distrust among white settlers
in Arizona and New Mexico, and in NV
opinion will result in adding to their
past bloody history a new list of mur-
ders, rapes, child stealing aid robbery.
L earnestly protest against SO dangerous
an experiment"
In answer TO tie dispatch Secretary
Teller reiterated his instructions to the
Agent to refuse to receive the Indians
mentioned in his dispatch, and stated
that he need not fear an attempt by the
military authorities to place the Indians
upon the Reservation against his Will.

Enormous Wheat Yield.

White Il Lissak, grain merchants, who
from time to time compile and issue sta
tistics of the grain yield stated today to an
Associated Press representative that the
wheat yield of California this year would,
at the lowest calculation, be 56.000,0G0
bushels. The probabilities are that the
quantity will exceed this, but is certain
ly will not be less. Had it not been for
the hot weather in the early part of June,
the crop would reach the enormous fig
ure OF G0,900,0O0 as it is there will be
close onto million and half tons for
export. The problem now to be solved
Is where are the vecsels to come from to
carry wheat to market. 1t is strongly
hoped IN some quarters that the South-
ern Pacific Railroad Company will be
willing and able to carry out its promise
made of shipping wheat to Liverpool via
New Orleans. The first two consign-
ments of new California wheat, this years
crop arrived today. One lot came from
Solano county; the other from Stanis-
Iius count Last year the first new
wheat did not arrive until July 9th.
though in 1881 il came in as early rs
june 7th.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.

The great wall of China was built by
Che HwhnS-te, who has been named
"the Universal Emperor" This ruler
made many improvements, building
roads, forming canals, and erecting
numerous handsome public buildings
throughout his domains, as well as sub
DUNG his enemies, WHO were threaten
ing him, and putting down several for
midable rebeilions. When he had
strengthened himself and his empire, he
discovered that the northern states OF
Thsin Chaou and Yen were building
lines OF fortitication along their northern
frontier for protection against the incur
sions of the Heung-uoo, and then he
conceived the idea OF bulling one great
wall, which was to stretch across the
entire northern limit OF the vast empire
from the sea to the farthest western cor
ner OF the northern province of Kan
sub. The year 2l4 before Christ wit
messed the beginning of the work, which
was under the immediate supervision of
the Emperor. 1t WIS pushed forward
very vigorously, but he died before its
completion. 1t is pronounced by some
