IRRIGATION NOT NEEDED.
(Yolo, Cal. , MALL

k-~~~p d
A well'known, and we may say sue
cessful grape-grower of Yolo county,
gives it as an opinion, based upon expert
ence and observation, that grapes do far
better without irrigation. There may be
a few individuals who laugh at this idea,
but it has nevertheless been found to be
true in cases where the test has been
made. Irrigation, it is claimed, prevents
the roots from shooting downward, and
therefore if irrigated at all will soon re-.
quire it all the while, and the grapes pro-
duced will be found to be Of an inferior
quality. Whereas, if not irrigated, the
roots shoot straight down and soon reach
water that sustains the vine much better
than surface irrigation. The same is also
claimed OF fruit trees. Orchards that re-
quire constant irrigation produce an in.
terior quality Of fruit. Speaking on this
subject, the Pomona Courier says that
about four miles northeast Of Pomons il
asmall apple orchard, set out three years
ago, which has, never had bucket
OF water from the start. OF the lot
only one tree was lost, and that was
killed BY gophers. The balance are as
healthy and thrifty lot as one would
wish to see. They are of good size and
bearing. Perhaps this accounts in .
mes.ure for the fact that grapes grown
on hiilY land, where irrigation b impossi.
Ole, are said to bs the best favored.

DIAMONDS IN THE FIRE.

A week ago last Friday evening Mrs.
Emma Buckley took pair Of diamond
earrings from her ears while standing in
the basement dining-room at .he house
of her father, Mr.. William d. Welch,
40l Bridge street, Brooklyn. She
wrapped them in tissue paper, tossed
them upon the mantel, and went upstairs
to bed. The stones were handsome
brilliants, and were valued at 500 each.
Some time later that evening Mrs.
Rida Welch saw the crumpled bit Of
paper on the mantel, carried it out to
the kitchen and threw it in the range.
Mrs. Welch il said to be a very neat
housekeeper.
The next morning the cook piled the
kindling on the bit of crumpled paper
and built the FIRE. Two hours later Mrs.
Buckley walked into the dining.room.
'Did any one see bit Of tissue paper
on the mantel?" she asked. 2eB Rff
eyes," said Mrs. Welch. II threw
it into the range last night"
The news had an agitating effect upon
Mrs. Buckley, and the family adjourned
to the kitchen, where two very much
excited ladies raked the kitchen fire
until the ash pan contained it all. Then
the ash pan was dumped into . coal
sitter. The ladies were, by this time,
very warm, as well as very much excited,
and both alternately raked the ashes and
rubbed the dust from their eyes. ss
When the ashes and finer coal had
dropped through the sitter into the coal
scuttle flour sieve was placed over the
ash pan, and the ashes and fine coal were
gradually placed on the sieve. When
about half the stuff had been emptied
on the sieve small black and yellow
chunk rolled over the coal scuttle. It
was very warm piece of gold, and was
all that remained Of the setting.
A little more ,aking and two diamonds
rolled out of the ashes. They were a
little dusty, but whom cool enough to
handle they were found to bs undimin-
ishsd IN beauty and svalue. "A New York
jewellsr reset them the ,same slternoon.

A TERRIBLE TIME APpRO ACHING.
M MAY BE. .rs,

The period BETWEEN 1880 and 1886 can
not fail to excite hhe liveliest interest
with astronomerF as the four great
planets, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and
Jupiter, will then be in perihelion for the
first time in about 1000 years, and in
consequence Of this remarkable event it
is believed that the climatic conditions
of the earth will be disturbed and pro.
duce alternate degrees of excessive heat,
cold, rains, floods, hurricanes and fatal
epidemics. During the sixth and six.
teenth centuries of the Christian era
three of the above planets were in peri.
helion, and from that or some other cause
floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, sickness
and the plague extended over the world
and destroyed vast amounts of life and
property. In the sixth century the
plague broke out in the East, and sweep
ing over Africa, Asia and Europe, de.
stroyed, it is estimated, 100, OOO, 900
people. The city Of Alexanria lost 20O,.
600 inhabitants. In Constantinople 1000
died per day during three months, and in
and around Rome during the same time
5000 died per day. A large number Of
cities, villages and provinces in Eastern
Europe, Western Asia and Northern AT.
rica were almost depopulated, and re.
manned in that condition several cen.
turies. The people fed panic. stricken in
every direction, and for miles around
these cities the dead were left unburied,
and thus, filling the air with pestilential
odors, added additional horrors to the
scenes of distress and misery. In the
sixteenth century the plague ravaged the
world again. Constantinople Lost 200, :.
900 people, and -in-~as sfuuuisRoms.
Naples and other cities Of Italy, 400, 600
died in five years. Fifteen millions per-
ished in China and 10000, 900 died in
countries bordering on the Red, Black
and Mediterranean seas. Marseilles lost
$4,000 inhabitants in six months, and in
and around London $50, 900 died in three
years, and in that city fires were kept
burning day and night along time to
purify the air, which seemed vitiated
several years. Ireland lost 300, 600, Paris
100000, Madrid $4,000. Alexandria 5O,.
600, and the total loss Of life by the
plague and famine of the sixteenth cen.
tury is estimated at l2O, 600, 900. II the
foregoing calamities were the result Of
three planets in perihelion, what may be
anticipated from the four approaching
perlhelon' The theory entertained is
that the perihelion of the four great
planets will affect the sun, and the sun
In turn will iniuriously affect the earth,
and hence disastrous consequences to life
and property will follow. New York

THE PLENARY COUNCIL.
Its Opening to Be Preceded on Sunday Next
by Grand Religious Ceremonies.

BALTIMoRE, Nov. 3.-One week from Sunday
will be great day in the history of the Catholic
church in the United States. Although the
meeting proper of the Plenary Council will not
begin until the following day, the grand rei-
gious ceremonies on Sunday, in which all the
prelates and hundreds of c!ergymen will take
part, will really mark the opening of the Coun-
| ell. Archbishop Gibbons of Baltimore, the
apostolic delegate, will preside. The only Amer
lean cardinal the Most Rev. John McCloskey, of
New York, will not be present, owing to i'll
health. In the council will be eighty archbish-
ops, bishops and abbots ten other prelates about
twenty five heads of religious orders, which,
with the theologians allowed each of the
foregoing. will make up in all about 230
active participants in the labors of the council.
In addition to these, the council will draw to
the city hundreds of Catholic priests from all
! parts of the country, who will be constantly
coming and going during the session of the
council, which is expected to last three weeks or
even longer
conference of the Archbishops of the twelve
provinces OF the United States has been called
| by Archbishop Gibbons, to meet at his residence
on Thursday next The decrees formulated by
| the distinguished theologians at their recent
meeting at St Charles College and St. Mary's
Seminary will then be laid before the Arch
bishops, and other details presented so that
w WIFI uuo Woih
before the meeting of the council. The
| business sessions of the council will be
private The discussions will be in the
English language, but the acts and DEGREES will
be written in Latin After the meeting of the
council the result of its labors will be forwarded
| to the Pope. Whatever may be decided on will
not have force until approved by him. This is
in accordance with the law of the church, but it
is almost foregone conclusion that the Holy
See will sustain any act of the council
The religious ceremonies connected with the
council and open to the public will take place on
| Sundays and Thursdays. In addition there win
! be religious services and sermon for the public
every evening except on Thursdays and Satur
days. In order that the Catholics of the city
may be the more free TO be present at the sol
emn Sunday services of the council, the Arch
bishop has requested the city pastors to SO ar
range matters during the council that the last
mass on Sunday in their respective churches
shall begin not later than Q A NJ.

of the national committee, said: II think now,
what have always thought, that we will carry
all the Northern States without exception. We
will win in Indiana and l have not
shadow of doubt as to the result
in New Jersey and Connecticut. Mr. Blaine
is as good as elected. The chairman of
the New York State committee told me that
this latest estimate of Bane's plurality in this
State formed upon a careful analysis of reports
received from every county, was that our caudi-
date would have at least 30, 900 plurality here
In Indiana the prospect is equally good Mr.
New telegraphed from Indianapolis, late Satur-
day night that the State would give
clear Republican plurality of at least
10000, and | don't hesitate to accept his
estimate as being a pretty good one
The party in Indiana was never in better CON
diton. and a most thorough and efficient canvass
was never seen than has been conducted there
by the State committee In New Jersey the Re
publican plurality will not fall below 1000 Con
nerticut we will carry by plurality of between

favoraby 30 Mr. Blaine To his
own individual endeavors as much as to the
efforts of the gentlemen who have been working
for him, he will owe his election. He has made
a canvass unprecedented in the history of this
country for zeal and determination, and the
demonstrations of enthusiasm which have
greeted him wherever he has gone attest the es-
TEEN in which he is held. There is absolutely
no doubt whatever of Mr.. Blaines election
Other members of the committee were in ac-
cord with Mr.. Jones.
At the Democratic headquarters the election
of Cleveland was claimed with equal confidence.

CADET STRANG'S SAD DEATH.
The Investigation To Be Followed by an
Appeal to the Criminal Court.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The friends of Naval
Cadet Strang, who died at Annapolis, as the
result, it is alleged, of some hazing by upper
cassmen, are determined to probe the matter
to Ihe bottom and if any ground for criminal
prosecution exists, then to have the cadets be-
lieved to have been concerned in the matter in
dicted for murder. This course is taken rather
than that of court-martial which too often
fails to yield anything satisfactory in its finding
There are some six or seven young men said to
have been engaged in the hazing of Cadet
Strang, one of the tricks they did being to roll
him down a steep hill in barrel The official
report of his death gave the cause as strangu-
lated hernia, whereas Strang who had just en-
tered the Naval Academy on that day could not
have passed medical examination had he been
liable to suffer from any such cause. trial in
the civil courts would be serious matter for
some of these young men, and if they obtained
a taste of it they would not care to do any more
hazing. 1t might have salutary effect in
breaking up the practice. Strang was a nephew
of Lieut. Schwatka, of arctic fame. Senator
Dolph, of Oregon, who is friend of Strang's
relatives, is interested in the investigation

New YORK, Nov. 3-The following dispatch,

fair election in the South:
NEW ORLEANS, Nov g.
Hon. B. F. Jones, Chairman:
'The attack by a Democratic mob on the Repub
lican meeting held in Iberia parish. on Saturday
last was much more serious affair than ap-
peared in the first reports. The mob fell in line
and marched deliberately to the Republican
meeting, and cooly opened fire on the speakers
and their hearers. After emntying their pistols
the mob resorted to their shotguns
and fired into the fleeing Republicans.
Eight to twelve were killed. and fifteen
to twenty five wounded Many reports of the
affair indicate that the attack was the result of
premeditated plan to break up the meeting by
violence. Our committee is in possession of in
formation indicating similar intentions on the
part of Democrats in other parishes of the State.
The Democrats have issued proclamations which,
in effect, direct the State officers and police to
resist United States Supervisors The whole
sale arrests of Republicans in New Orleans on
the trumped-up charge of vagrancy has com
menced, and colored voters are being dragged to

city maintained in the court below that action
was barred by the statute of limitations m6Se
than five years having elapsed since
the bonds matured. The plaintiff contended
that the city had made acknowledgment of the
bonds as an existing liability after their matur
lty and that according to the law of the State,
the statute of limitations began TO at the
time of such acknowledgements and did not
begin to at the time the bonds matured.
The court below sustained this view. and
awarded the plaintiff judgment for $26, 3S5.
This court, however. holds that the acknowl-
edgement cannot be regarded as an admission of
Indebtedness, where the accompanying circum
stances are such as to repel that influence, or
to proong the time of legal limitation. The
judgment of the Circuit Court is reversed, and
the case remanded with directions to enter
judgment for the defendant with COSTS
