OF GREENEORNS.

A contemporary says: The man or
woman to whom the rural world is outer
darkness, is greener than the freshest coun-
try pumpkin that ever sowed gap seed in
crowded thoroughfare." Very true. But
it matters very little where men are housed,
in city, town or country; if they grope for
ever in the dust of their own paths, their
souls will shrivel to just that area, There is
no more cruel, debasing and bitter slavery
than that of narrow environments
To our thinking the enslaved me
tropolitan whose sun of existence
and ideas rises and sets within
the smoky confines of his own city, is a
pitiable being. As the tendency to dwell
in cities grows, 50 too is augmented the
number of town slaves. The annual rush
for the country is the saving hope we may
entertain that our cities shall not become
yeritable walled towns. Business and labor,
the greedy struggle for wealth, the content
that binds men and women TO dull and
ceaseless tread in a narrow groove, do more
than enslave the body; they enehain the
soul, and paralyze the spirit Of man.
But the occasional run into the country
is valueless, except for temporary physical
gain, if the man does not expand his men
sal and intellectual parts by the change.
And he is not likely to do this
! if he has not read and thought and longed
beyond the city streets. We speak of
80 greenhorns who come in to our annual
fairs, or take holidays in the cities to " see
| the sights and be taken in, but we concur
with the Chicago Inter ocean, the observa-
ton of which in a great metropolis con-
vinces it that there is kind of city green
ness that is more depl0rable in its ignor-
anCe 1t is the product of the generation
" that grows up into men and women I'M
der the belittling idea that to be up in
the ways of city is the chief end Of life. -
Precisely. We have in this city frequent
examples of the countryman whose ideas
and knowledge of city life, and the ways OF
those who lay in wait for his verdancy,
lead him into all manner Of vicious snares
and maze of ludicrous blunders. But
such characters are no more to be commits
serated than that equally large class whose
knowledge of the worlds bounded by streets
and alleys The happily situated town
child for promise of broadest development
is that one raised in the city the borders Of
which so merge with rural life that it is
difficult to discover where the one begins
and the other ends. In this respect the IN
terror cities Of California may be said tC
very nearly attain the ideal standard, anc
for the matter Of that the country cities o
most States. They are just enough city tC
assume something of metropolitan airs
and yet so intimately related to rural life
that they adapt themselves to either with
out much effort Their citizens are leas
liable to the slavery Of the street and thei
rural neighborhoods least populated b!
grcenhorns.

YESTERDAYS CONVENTIONS.

The Northern and Central California I'm
migration and Development Convention
met in this city yesterday, and began its
work in a spiritthat IS warrant for the fore
cast that the most beneficial results Will
flow from its labors We cannot at this
time speak of the work of the body thus
far accomplished. but take occasion to re-
mark upon the eminently representative
character of the Convention and the ability
of its membership. II is entirely within
bounds to say that no assemblage has ever
convened in the interior so purely and
broadly representative Of the agricultural
industrial and commercial interests. The
assembling of these men testiies in the
strongest terms TO the profound interest
that is felt in the welfare of the State, and
to the determination to carry on the work
of developing its resources and peopling
its valleys and hills with desirable pop
u!ation. The Convention is to be congrat-
uiated upon its happy choice of a presiding
officer. VIII S. Green, of Colusa, is Il rep
re,entative man, of broad intelligence, OF
experience, and possessed of thorough
knowledge of the needs and resources OF
northern ana central California, and enter
tains Independent but comprehensive anc
practical views of business and State
! economy.

dict for the plaintiff in the suit of Charles
Haines, administrator of the estate of DR.. An
derson Howard, against the C., l., st. L. & c.
Railroad Company, assessing damages at s., 5O0e
Ten of the jurors were for $4,000 damages, and
the other two held out for the defend
ant, until compromise was finally effected, Civ
ing the plaintiff $500. The suit arose from the
killing of DR.. Howard aud the dangerous injury
of his daughter Mary last May, bya big Four
train running into the buggy in which they were
riding. Miss Howard has already recovered 81 900
against the company, which, it is understood,
offered s., 900 as a compromise for both cases.

The Chinese Restriction Bill To Be Reported
Favorably-Other Measures.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Representative Brew
er has been directed by the House committee on
manufactures to report favorably his bill to inn
pose a fine of not more than 500, or punish
ment by Imprisonment for three months, on
any person interfering in any way with com
mercial traveller selling goods by sample.
The House committee of foreign affairs, by a
party vote-the Democrats favoring and the Re-
publicans opposing-agreed to favorably re-
port, with two amendments, the bill prepared
by the Pacific delegation in Congress for the
prevention of Chinese immigration. The clause
in the original bill which made it necessary for
Chinese students to have certificates
of the studies they proposed pros
ecuting at what place, and
the length of time for complying with the same,
and that no student should remain in this coun-
try for period exceeding ninety days after com
pleting his studies, was stricken out. The second
amendment to the bill makes it necessary for
the United States Go pay all the expenses for
subsistence and maintenance during the return
of any Chinese person who may not have been
permitted to land from any vessel by reason OF
the provisions of the act Representative Lamb
has been authorized to report the amended bill.
