TIE FEUIr CROP.

Al impression has gained ground that
the California fruit crop will be very lin
tied this year. From advioes received
here from authoritative sources we are ena-
bled to correct the error. The fruit yield
in the valley counties will result in an
average crop. Berries, it is true, have
been mostly destroyed. Currants alone
have been injured to such an extent as to
occasion very heavy loss. Thus at San
Lorenzo the damage to ourrants is placed
at figures varying from $50 900 to 500, 900.
Solano county alternates every other year
with good and bad crops of apricots. This
is an off year" with that county, yet its
apricot yield will be 65 per cent. in amount
of last years crop. Apricots in Sacra-
mento Yolo and Yuba promise large
yield, but recently a fungus has appeared
on the fruit which is attributable to at
mospheric causes, and will render much of
it unfit for canning, but not for other uses.
Peaches and apples will return fair crop
throughout the valleys. Plums will not
be abundant. Cherries have given fair
yield Of pears there will be great
abundance. In every locality the promise
is good for a fine grape crop. On the
whole, then, our figures indicate a fair
fruit crop in the valley sections, and but
little from the higher mountain counties.
The export of fruit will this year be fully
equal p hat of last, and Eastern pur.
ohasers have even made more extensive
preparations for forwarding than in 1882 /;
at the same time the canneries will put up
fully as much fruit as in that year. These
dealers, it must be remembered, are carry
ing over from last year quite heavy stock.
AS to fruit prices, the indications are that
lower figures will rule than in 1852, except
in few varieties that are scarce.

TIE IEDIAk's PLEA.

In Washington county, Maine, recently,
an Indian of the Passamaquoddy tribe was
heard before Grand Jury in his own de-
tense on q proposition to indiot him for
killing deer in the close season. His in
genious plea Of exemption from the law
was fAllacious. He produced treaties with
his tribe permitting its members to hunt
and fish freely, and for which they gave
lands and made concessions of acknowl-
edged rights. The eloquence which is
traditional with SO many of his race was
made manifest in his peroration, when,
with flashing eyes and extended arm,
sweeping in graceful gesticulstion, he ex-
claimed in bitter tones 1--WE search the
record in Mschias County Jail, and we End
no Indian ever been there on charge OF
murder, or robbery, or any other crime.
No. sir, not one Indian. Because they
keep their promises and we still go on
further, and search the record in State
Prison, we find also the ssme-no Indian
of Psssamaqnoddy ever been there on
charge Of crime because they keep their
treaties, and your people will clear them
selves by telling lies. The Chiefs elo-
queuce, and perhaps the incisive charge
made sgainst the pale faces, secured him

THE woRkIsemEs's SCHOOLS.

In another column our New York CORE
spondent gives plain and interesting de.
scription Of the Workingmen's School in
New York, founded and maintained by the
Society for Ethical Culture. The school is
conducted upon the principle of the kinder
garten SO far as object teaching is con-
cerned, by carrying the system up to
grades for. elder pupils, by what Professor
Adler terms 1.-THE Creative Method" It
teaches not only by objects, but instructs
in the construction of objects, aud Guilt
Yates the creative or inventive faculty. and
while fertilizing the intellect it instruets
the hands. The scheme is to send out the
boy or girl of the poor family, at the age Of
fourteen or fifteen, with ability to earn his
or her living, ami taught what he or she
knows by actual experiment and applica-
ton. Professor Adler. in speaking of the
school, says: There are two antagonistic
parties whose watchword industrial edu-
cation has alike become. The one seeks
to make the mass OF mankind more ma
chine-hke than they already are, though
with the proviso that they shall be made
more perfect machines, more skillful to in
crease wealth and to feed the channels of
the manufacturers profits. The other
party, standing at the opposite pole Of
thought, seeks rather to elevate the masses,
to more completely develop the humanity
of the young, and looks upon technical and
art education in the school as novel and
admirable means for achieving this result. "
The plan of the school proceeds upon the
application of "The Creative Method to
the training of the intellect and the forma-
tion of character. For instance, Adler ex-
plains, the work on which the pupil is en-
gagged in the school workshop will make
his conception of the fundamental geomet-
rical relations unusually clear and distinct.
The practical application of the theory is
sketched by our correspondent, whose
letter will be found interesting
without entering into argumenta-
tive consideration of the theories in.
volved. In this connection it is to be
noted that industrial schools are taking
very prominent positions in educational
systems and more attention is being given
them now than at any previous time. The
Finsbury Technical College is an H.
stitution recently opened in England for
pupils from Il to II, by day, with an even
ing school for apprentices and workmen.
The day school gives the preparatory train
ing, and the evening school instructs those
already at work how better to accomplish
their tasks, The college has four depart.
ments, educational, engineering, chemical
and mechanical The school differs from
the New York institution in that it is for
elder pupils, does not instruct in any par
ticular hsndicraft, but aims at such gen.
eral training as will give an intelligent
comprehension of principles and manual
dexterity. All these experiments, and
there are several, will be observed by edu-
Gators with profound interest. They
promise to solve the problem of apprentice.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

E. B. H.-The great fire in New York
was in 1885 and not 1886. 1t occurred on
the 18th of December, and loss is given st
$4,000 900.
Legis-The resumption of specie pay
ments by the United States took place on
January l, 1879, in accordance with an Act
of Congress approved January IA. 1875.
An Old Subscriber-You should apply
TO Ed. F. Taylor, Register United States
Land Office, in this city, in relation to
Government lands, or to Land Office of
Central Pacific Railroad, corner of Fourth
and Townsend streets, San Francisco, for
information relative to railroad lands.
Emma T. You are incorrect. The
word " chiropodist is pronounced XII
rop.o. dist, with long sound of 81 IN first
syllable and accent UPON the second. The
word " chirography is also very generally
incorrectly pronounced, the first syllable of
which should be pronounced ki with long
sound of "i'') instead of chi.
I'D. P, Rosevile-The time occupied
by the Jarrett and Palmer train between
New York and San Francisco in 1876 was
exactly eighty-four hours, as ascertained
from railroad authority and published in
the RECORD UNION the following morning.
A dispatch from San Francisco, published
in the same issue, gave the time as eighty
three hours and ffty-nine minutes, but the
former figures are undoubtedly correct.
Miner, Nevada City-The first question
you ask should be addressed to some skill
full assayer.. Richard Barker has recently
devised method of amslgamation by use
of electricity for obtaining gold from ores
containing arsenic, which is said to have
shown very satisfactory results. The in
clined table over which the ore is washed
contains hollows filled with mercury over
| these, in the water containing the wash.
ings, copper wires are introduced, and
| brought so near that powerful current
may be passed to the mercury, which seems
to gather itself away from the impurities,
and to act more energetically upon the ore.
Subscriber-Th "meal-tub plot re-
| fsrrsd to was as follows Under the con-
nivance of one DaDgerfield, in England, in
| 1879, a bundle Of seditious documents
were secreted IN a certain house selected
| for the purpose. He then gave informa-
ton to Custom officer, which
| led to a search of the house for
smuggled goods, during which search
the seditious papers were found in the
meal tub. The plot was to accuse the
most eminent Protestants, who were op-
| posed to the succession of the Duke of
York James II }. of treason. Upon the
matter being brought before Parliament
two parties were formed, each named by
the other. Those who doubted the plot
were called Whigs, which in Scotland ap-
piled to low class of seditious fanatics ;
| the other party were called Tories, an Irish
term applied to despoiled Papists who sub
sisted upon plumber.

THE MgAE1sG OF raE ALLIANCE.

The latest examination Of the European
situation, together with consideration OF
the expression Of the influential European
press, confirms us in the opinion expressed
some weeks ago that the triple alliance be-.
tween Germany, Austria and Italy is not a
menace, does not indicate offensive attitudes
or ambitions, but is purely defensive, and
contributes to the assurance of European
peace. 1t is simply compact that in any
assault made the resistance of the three ma

An UNCOMFORTABLE STARE Room "A
well-known Bishop, eminent in his position

him and the encouragement Of rheumatism.
