. The Words OF a Political Sage.

Though ripe in years and not over

still clear and strong in his intellect, and
every inch a political sage. When he

writes they linger to read. for his words
are words OF wisdom, and we know of

North american RecieaU II on the SUBJ

article. Hon. George S. Boutwell, is
also represented by an article upon the
same subject. but Horatio Seymour can
be studied a long time and the student
will feel little curios ty or longing to
know what the opinions Of George S.
Boutwell, may be. Mr.. Seymour tol-
lows the history of public sentiment and
legislation along the eccentric lines they
have travelled sin e the close of the war
the reaction from the extreme and
costly view of state rights ma ntained by
the south for a purpose, and the growth
OF that centralizing spirit in VIII ich

Presidents and Senators and Congress
men, have established them elves at the
ca ital, and because OF their superior
knowledge of people and the general
machinery of operation, have become
the real rulers of the people and dis
tributors OF the taxes that they pay.
Mr.. Seymour takes no parti an view of
all this. He gives honest and thought
full Republicans credit for a desire to
emaDcipate themselves from the results
OF their own party teachings. This
feeling. he thinks, accounts for the re-
suit at the last election. and the writer
says, at has burst the strong bond
which held together the Republican or
ganization. A party which has doubts
about the correctness of its views loses
the power to adjust its controversies.
Should the be adjusted the tap of the

throw discredit upon the Republican
party; on the contrary, the sentiments

their efforts to check abuses which have
grown out OF mistaken views OF policy.
1t would be an insult to say that they
were governed by their pass ons or per-
sonal interest. No; the resu is OF the
election OF 1882 were not due to local
causes or controversies. They were
the product OF a gl,neral bel e that the

The Republican party was founded

end achieved, its existence and action
has been based on an immoral purpose.
1t has lived only to retain supremacy

Government of the United States, as
shaped by Republican statecraft and
selfish greed for Office and power. was
becoming centralized imperialism. or,
worse, a despicable plutocracy. The

American freedom. and of local and
personal independence. at length
sweeps away all Instructions, and the

Nuggets Of cold.

The Amador Dispatch records a rich
gold stride, as follows; In the Mammoth
mine, near Jackson, Amador coanty, a
pocket of quartz of almost unparalleled
richness was found less than one hun
dred feet from the surface in which was
found from $4,000 Co Sl00 600, and be.
ing about two tons in quantity. Much
of this might justly be termed huge
chunks Of gold instead Of gold bearing
quartz. Some of these immense pieces
OF almost solid gold were about as heavy
as a man could easily lift from the
ground. The largest piece was Of an
oval shape, sixteen by twenty-five inches
and six or seven inches thick. This
gold is almost black, and Of the same
character as the former rich strikes found
in the same mine, and which have here
tofore attracted the interest and atten-
ton of the mining men Of the United
States. We have no doubt but this is
the richest find of gold of this kind ever
known in the United States at one time.

April, which were even then pefectly

oranges are less numerous than

Olive Culture.

A correspondent at 0leander, Fresno
county, writes to the HERALD about
olive growing. asking, among other
questions:
''If olive trees will grow in very
sandy soil. and if little frost in winter
will kill them ?" ''Will the olive grow
where the orange will not on account Of
the frost p Where can young trees be
bought and what would be the cost y
"Are they planted the same as peach
and other fruit trees, and how long be-
fore they will bear?"
Olive trees will grow in sandy soil, or
rocky land, or gravelly loan, or clayey
loan Of a stiff character, but do not
thrive or bear well in damp soil. They
bear more heavily on uplond than low
land that is often covered by fog.
In tho latter locality the black scale
bug is likely to infest the tree.
The olive is more hardy than the orange,
and grows where there are quite severe
frosts. In such cases the tree should be
protected by cornstalks, which permit q
circulation Of air and admit light, and at
the same time they protect the leaves
from frost. This for the first year only.
The trees are always for sale in Los
Angeles, but they are more easily propa-
gated by cuttings about two and half
feet in length. These are set in the
earth in hole made by sharp iron bar
to depth of about twenty inches.
After the cutting is placed in the hole
the latter should be filed with water,
which fits the earth completely around
the foot Of the cutting. The hole is then
to be filed up loosely and mound Of
earth piled up loosely around the cut
ting nearly to the top, and kept there
the first year. 1t sometimes happens
that the cutting will not grow the first
year at all. but will start out the second
year quite vigorously. The tree needs
but little moisture where there are copi-
Gus winter rains. In dry climates about
four times year would be often enough
to irrigate the olive plant. The trees do
not bear transportation very well, and
many of them die in consequence Of
removal; but the cutting is hardy, and
is not troubled by gophers.
If trees are planted they will need
several irrigations during the first sum
mer. They are planted like other trees.
But their roots are extremely sensitive
and need especial care while being trans
planted from the nursery to the orchard
The tree bears usually in from i've to
seven years after planting from the cut
ting and in from four to six years from
planted trees. In regard to the cost Of
trees, the latter win be referred to nur
serymen to respond. The HERALD is
not favoring any particular dealer, but
! during the winter will contain the adver
tisements of the leading nursery mer
who have trees and cuttings for sale
| If the cuttings are large the top shoult
be protected by coating of wax o.
clay to prevent being dried out by tn,
sunshine. The treo will bear for two
thousand years, Or more, and the fruit i
very profitable.
