A Story or Two Journalists,

A story Is told OF a young sopho-
more. the newly appointed editor of a
college paper in New England. who.
on his way home in vacation some
years ago, made the acquaintance OF "
quiet gentleman on y railroad train.
''Engtishman. l perceive" airily be-

An Immense Vineyard.

In the immense vineyard of Gov.
Stanford at Vina there are, at present,
5000 acres planted in grapevines OF
different varieties. the greater portion
of which are young. and as yet have
not been productive. The old Gerke
vineyard. which forms the nucleus. COW
ers a space of seyenty-hve acres; to
this 1000 acres of young vines were
added in 1882, and l, 800 acres in 1883.
They are ali very thrifty and form u
beautiful sight when viewed from any
direction. The irrigation of this vine
yard is. perhaps, the most complete in
the world. At regular intervals through
the vineyard venue are cut which are
forty feet in width; through these ave-
nues are run irrigating bitches, with n
driveway OF each side. The blocks
thus formed by the irrigating bitches
are about fifty yards wide, but extend
a great length, ana contain about 100
acres each. In this way the system of
irrigation is made complete, and all
the and receives ar equal proportion
Of water. Every two of the blocks are
planted TO = different variety OF grapes.
Inc main bitches run east and west
across the field, and where the field is
uneven in,ersecting bitches are made.
In some cases it has been necessary to
construct flames to carry the water
over lower lands. A flume 1880 feet
long has been built 10 carry water over
tie alfalfa fields. Besides the 10, OOo
acres planted in vines. the Governor
owns 10000 acres more that he has
lately acquired by purchase. He is
contemplating, however, OK ~endin, his
vim yard, making new additions TO it
each year.-Sdn Francisco CaM.

The Hitting Sequel.

A nice little story says the Indianap-
oils Journal appeared in the New Jer-
sey papers the other day about a man
who returned from California and
found his long lost daughter at work in
a mental capacity. The man had
amassed a fortune, of course, as all
men do who 60 to California, and an
nounced his intention Of providing
handsomely for his daughter. He at
once purchased a residence for her and
had the deed made out. 1t was q hand
some residence and the girl and all of
her friends we're delighted, and the
story went far and wide. 1t was a
touching tale, and would have satisfied
everybody if it had ended there; but it
did not. There is a sequel that is not
half so pretty, but, sad TO say, far more
true to nature. The father, who had
been SO long separated from his beloved
daughter, bought, as we have said, a
house. 1t was inferred, of course, that
he paid for it; but the narrative varies
from the regulation pattern in not men,
tioning the fact that he laid down the
purchase money in gold. He id, in
fact, nothing of the kind. He was just
about to pay it yer when he discov-
cred that he was $50 short of the re-
CURED amount. In order to save the
trouble of writing a check he borrowed
the sum from his daughter-it was ex-
actly the sum she had saved up-and
went down the street. He has not yet
returned, and the girl, being out OF
funds, has gone back to her work in
stead OF moving into her new house MS
she fondiy expected. This story, which
was perfect rs it first stood, is q fresh
instance of the folly Of publishing Sc
quels. A sequel can seldom be made
to fit IN, and destroys the harmony
and eternal fitness of things.

A Deacon's Log

A good story is told Of the presence
OF mind Of a New Hampshire deacon
who was very fond OF dogs. He had
n valuable setter that he had trained
himself. and that understood his every
word and slightest gesture with an al
most human intelligence.
One evening at a prayer meeting the
good man was offering an earnest ex-
hortation and the people sat with bow
ed heads. giving earnest attention.
The audience faced the stand where
sat tho pastor; the doors opened on ei-
Their side. All at once one OF the doors,
which had been left ajar, was pushed
open, and the handsome head OF the
deacoH's fayorite setter was thrus. in.
The head was followed by the body.
and the dog in toto had just started
with q joyful bound toward its master.
The deacon generally knew what
was going on about him. whether he
was praying or SHOOTING, and the first
movement Of the intruder attracted his
attention. Quick as n fash, the dea-
con, raising mis- hand with n warning
gesture. exclaimed: 'sTnoe hast given
us charge; help US to keep it." At
the emphasized word so well known 10
his canine car, the handsome brute
stopped, as il shot, on the very thresl-
old OF the door. with his intelligent
eye fixed on his master.
In tho same nnmovcd tone, with q
slight wave of the extended hand: I'VE
would not return back 4 Tnee with
our duty on earth unfaifilcd." Again
tho perfect training OF the deacon's pet
was made evident, for without a whim-
per ne turned as noiseicssly as he had
entered. and remained quietly outside
until his master Boston
Globe.

Or IMPORTANCE TO ELECTION OFFICERS
In the Philadelphia courts on Saturday last,
Judge Arnold announced few rules for the
filling of vacancies in election boards, which
election officers will do well to observe:
When vacancy exists in any board, or
when new divisions are formed, the court
will fill the vacancy. if fapplication is made
ten days before the election. If the judge
of election does not attend on the morning
of the election, or if there was tie in the
vote for judge in the Spring election. the
majority inspector shall appoint judge /;
if the majority inspector does not attend the
judge shall appoint an inspector in his
place and il the minority inspector does
not attend, the person who received the sec
ond highest number of votes for judge at the
Spring election shall act as inspector. II a
vacancy continues TO exist in the election
board for one hour after the time for opening
the polls, the voters present shall fill the va
cancy by a curbstone election. No votes
should be received until the election board
is complete and duly sworn in. Each in
spector shall appoint one clerk, who must
be voter in the division. Appointed cleo
ton officers and clerks hold over for the
spring election, unless removed for disquali-
flying cause.
