Whereas 1t appears 10 this Board that ii Is alb.
solutely necessary to provide suitable site
whereon to erect a Jail for said county, said

necessary Tor public use under the law; and IL
appearing that said county has no Jail accomo-

WHAT between floods and cyclones
and the freaks of the mercury, the peo-
pie Of the East are having hard time Of
IL Just now. The attractions Of life In
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys must
have an unexplained charm to justify
people in submitting 10 be periodically
drowned out as pretty regular incident
Of their residence there. These meteor
illogical excuses are directly reforabie TO
the great destruction Of forests which
has taken place in the watersheds Of the
Monongahela and Allegheny md other
rivers which are tributary to the Ohio
and Mississippi. The Congress OF Inter
national Forest Cnllurists that met at
Vienna few years ago established the
fact, by numerous instances, that forest
denudation not only results in steady
diminution Of the volume OF rivers, but
also in floods, the latter for the reason
that the rainfall is made capricious and
irregular. Forests are highly useful in
guaranteeing uniform and regular pre-.
cpitation and snowfalls. The alterna
ton which our Eastern friends are just
now undergoing from frosts which near.

to drown them, arc things of which Cal

The project, to which the HERALD
adverted some weeks ago, Of utilizing
the cactus fiber Of the Moiave Desert by
English capitalists, is making steady
progress, and will shortly be in full OPP
erstion. The great London newspaper,
the Telegraph, is interested in the
venture and there is an abundance of
capital behind 1t. The gentlemen who
recently concluded the purchase Of fifty
thousand acres Of land from the South
ern Pacific Railway are making arrange
ments which will enable them to ship
from eight hundred to thousand
pounds Of the fiber monthly. 1t will
be sent around the Horn in sailing
vessels. and will be manufactured ints
certain grades of paper and into parch-
ment, at mills on the Thames. As tho
supply Of the raw material is practically
inexhaustible we may regard this project
~ equivalent to the establishment of a
new and permanent interest in Los

SINCE his visit to London and appear
ance us a contributor to the English pa.
pers the Hon. Tom Ochiltree, Of Texas,
has become very distinguished person
age. Tom has the reputation Of being
the biggest liar in the United States.
Falstaff described himself as not only
witty himself. but the cause Of wit in
others. Ochiltree Is hot only menda-
cious himself but the cause Of mendacity
in others. 1t has become the fashion to
lie about him, and the newspapers are
applying themselves to the task con
amoYe. The latest story is that the
Texas Congressman is about TO marry
Miss Eva Mackay, the bonanza Kings
step daughter. While this young lady
has very sensibly announced 1t to be her
intention to give the princelipgs aud no.
blemen of Europe the go.by and to
bestow her hand on an American sover-
eign when she does marry, it is very un-
likely that Ochiltree will be the benefic-
larry Of this patriotic preference, and,
amongst others, for two good and salts
factory reasons In the first place the
young lady and Tom have never met.
In the second, the great Texas racontear
is more than three times the age of his
supposed fianeee.

To the point blank question, addressed
to him the other day, as to whether or
no President Arthur would make a
strong candidate for the Republicans,
Roscoe Conkling replied that he pre-
ferred to initiate the example Of Zeno,
the philosopher. who, on being applied
TO by the Persian ambassador for some
golden words to take back to the Persian
monarch, told him 10 go home and tell
his master that he had seen one Greek
who could keep silence. This reply of
the great Repudiated is, mot
to put too fine point upon it, sugges-
tive Of doubt as to Arthur's availability.

In his determination TO resist any re.
duction in the tariff on wines, brandy,

Hon. z. B. Tully, the Congressman
from the old Fourth district Of this

temper of Californians irrespective of
party. Whatever legitimate protection
may be claimed for our growing inter

WHILE the columns Of the HERALD
have been open to those who are opposed
to the site for the new Court House
selected by the Board Of Supervisors,
we have seen nothing to change our orig
inal judgment that the Stevens lot, on
the whole, is the best that could have
been procured The great bulk OF the
voters are satisfied with the location.
The only objections requiring any serious
notice are those advanced by Mr.. John

Board Of Supervisors, and these can all
be obviated by skillful architect.

By his speech ut Columbus, at the
banquet which followed his election to
the United States Senate, the Hon.
Henry B. Payne created veritablo SEN
sation. 1t was treasury Of political
wisdom, expressed with clearness and
cogency rarely approached by public
men. Dan Voorhees,, who is good Judge
Of oratory, pronounces it the finest
speech made by any American during
the last quarter of century, and he re-
grets that Payne is not ten years
younger, that he might become Me
Democratic standard-bearer this fall. 1t
will be remembered that Payne received
the vote Of New York for President, in
tho Cincinnati Convention in 1880. 1t
is the ill-luck Of the great Democratic
'0moans, Thurmln and Payne, that
they are both pretty well advanced in
years, the former being seventy.three
and the latter seventy-four. 1t has not
been the fashion of American parties to
nominate men of such advanced age for
President, or the chances of either of
these great men would be excellent.
