1t will thus be seen that there has been a
marked gradual yearly increase in the pro-
ductiOn, except in Oregon, and which de-
crease in the latter this year may be attribut-
able TO climatic infiueI ces, but at the same
time may become very different matter in
next ana succeeding years. One thing is very
evident, and must not be overlooked, viz:
thdt each year will give the growers there.
and in all sections of the Pacific Coast, larger
experience, and therefrom will they strive to
produce hop Favored, as they hre, with u
congenisl climate, virgin soil, quick returns
and a non-infestment of injurious insects
o. as fine quality as any part of the world
can. California appears to be the most ia.
vored Of sll sections on our Pacific boundary,
ana while certain portions of the northeast
and northwest parts thereof seems to be the
b ST. adapted for the plant, yielding very large
returns to the acre, as we have previously
shown, still we find that the cultivation has
been extended as far south as Monterey and
Los Angeles counties, which together have
produced this year over thousand bales.
The apparent stock on hand in San Fran
cisco ooh inst.). which does not in,lude
those required there, is estimated for local
consumption (3, 100 bales), is 3, $50 bales. and
it therefore is apparent that there can be but
little dependence on the, Golden State for
further large shipments thence hitherwsrd or
to England.
In Oregon, by careful computation. there
were not over 2, 400 bales, while in Washing
n Territory there were about 3 GEO bales
still in the hands of growers; total of 5.
400 bales. The quantity in British Columbia
is TOO Insignificant to notice.
Mith these facts our growers on this side
csn base fair calculation as to what may vet
occur between this and the seasons end,
especially So Germany has not many hops to
spare for English consumption.
In Circular Sep ember 9Th last we, upon
careful and proper calculation, stated the
Faeihc Coast CT, p at 81, Ill bales, thus de-
monstrating by present statistics that we
we're fully advised of what was transpiring in
that section,

DOMESTIC NOTES
JULY.


On the first day of this month the new tariff bill
went into effect, working a material reduction in
the customs income. The general opinion prevails
that the Act will prove as beneficial to the
try as its promoters anticipated, since it rleases
neither free traders protectonists and does not
afford relief or give encoura cement as was asked by
certain industries SILL it must be admitted that
as it is advance toward tariff reduction, it is
stepn the right direction. 1t was in this month
clearly that neither of the great parties was
situated to their membership to spouse either
free trade or protection in the next national cam
paign. The Eastern foods had, in this month,
nearly all subsidized and their effects disappeared

In microscopy new steps have been taken
in the study of germs in the air, and in
germ examination generally. In meteor
ology but few new devices have been ap.
piled, but some experiments are now being
made that will probably advance the sci

as, for instance, the proposed signaling to
rural districts from passing trains, and the
extension of the Signal Service system to
more distant points. We might continue
at great length, but enough has been said
to indicate that the world of invention and
discovery is constantly broadening.

the popuace Of Canton explained TO have arisen
out Of dissatisfaction Of the natives at the punish
rnent inflicted bys Consular Court upon foreigner
who killed a native in melee. The observance of
the four.hundredth anniversary Of the birth Of
Luther was very general in Germany, and marked
by much ceremonial and pomp. Hicks Pasha, the
Egyptian commander, met FL Mahdi, the False Pro-
phet, in narrow defile in the Soudan, and he and
his army were destroyed. The news created con
sternation in Egypt and England, and surprise
throughout the world. Ell Mshdi appeared to have
aroused the black tribes Of the Souian TO religious
enthusiasm, and announced his intention to march
to Mecca and declare the true religion. Egypt ap-
peaed to England TO aid in resisting him. Turkey
desired to intervene, and France manifested her
desire 10 aid upon the basis Of the old syship but
England rejected all oyertures, and resolved TO
check the "Prophets" advance. Baker Pasha was
sent out with force but at the close Of the month
no new conflict had been brought on. Riots and
reyolts in the provinces the east OF the Red Sea
were contemporaneous with FL Mahdis victory, but
Turkey suppressed them promptly. The French in
Madagascar, by force OF arms secured a settlement
of their claims and rights on the island.

Hail Columbia.

IN the year 1893, when patriotic feel
ing pervaded the country, and when
there were several in the field, Mr.. Fox,
young player, who was.more admired
for his vocal than histrionic powers,
called one morning upon his friend,
Mr.. Hopk nson, and after stating that
the following evening had been ap-
pointed for his benefit, and expressing
great fear for the result, as not single
COX had been taken, begged his friend
to do something in his behalf.
If, - said Fox, ''you will write me
some patriotic verses to the tune of the
Presidents March, feel sure of full
house. Several O. the people about the
theater have attempted it, but they
have come to the conclusion that It
can't be done; yet [ think you may
succeed"
Mr.. Hopkinson retired to his study,
and in a short time wrote the first verse
and chorus, which was submitted to
Mrs. Hopkinson, who sang them to a
piano accompaniment and proved the
measure and music to be compatible
and in keeping. In this way toe second
and other verses were written, and
when Fox returned in the evening he
received with delight the song as it now
stands. The following morning small
hand bills and placards announced that
MIR. Fox would sing new patriotic
song, etc.
The theater was crowded; the song
was sung and received with rapture; it
was repeated eight times and again en-
cored; and when sung the ninth time
the whole audience stood up and Joined
in the chorus. Night after night Hail
Columbia cheered the visitors of the
theater, and in very few days it was
the universal song Of the boys in the
streets, from one end of the city 10 the
other. Nor was the distinguished author
of this truly National song song
which met the appreciation of botR
parties forgotten. The street on which
he resided was at one time crowded,
and Hail Columbia broke on the still
ness Of midnight from FIVE hundred
voices, School end Hen1e.

Both Lucky Accidents.

When q young man John Roach
learned to be a machinist, and after mas
tering his trade thoroughly, worked in
the city of New York until he had ac-
cumulated one thousand dollars. Then
he resolved to go West and buy a farm.
Leaving one-half his capital in the hands
of his employer, he went to Illinois and
there purchased a good farm, but at the
end of year he found the five hundred
dollars he had left behind him unavail-
able, the holder having failed, and thus
he was unable to meet the final payment
due on the farm. Disheartened, he
returned to New York and again went
to work at his trade. But for the acct
dent of losing the five hundred dollars
at that iunctuFe, Mr.. Roach in all prob
ability would have been to this day a
farmer instead of a shipbuilder.
His establishing a shipyard in Chester
was equally the result of chance. To
assist friend who had q contract to
build a vessel at small shipyard in
Chester, Mr. Roach became his security
to the amount Of eight thousand dollars
After while he received notice that the
shipbuilder had failed and he (Mr. r. J
would be looked to for the eight thousand
dollars. Having never seen Chester, he
concluded to visit the place and look
after his interests. On examining the
vessel partly built, as it rested upon the
ways, he estimated it to be worth twenty
five thousand dollars. He at once deter
mined to finish it, and did SO. realizing
a handsome profit. Following this he
contracted to build another vessel, and
from this beginning arose the great ship
yard which gives constant employment
to from one thousand to fifteen hundred
men. -DelGaOare County Democrat.

Monuments and Testimonials.

''He asked for bread, and they gave
him a stone,'' was the criticism of an
American on the monument recently
raised to Chatterton
1t is a characteristic of the English
people to delight in honoring their dead
heroes, while they are apt to allow their
living ones to fight their own fight
against poverty.
''Bailiffs, " says Moore, bitterly, ''may
seize his last blanket to-day, whose pail
will be held up by mobiles tomorrow )"
The Americans have inherited this
love of monuments, but their zeal is
usually short-lived. The country is full
of unfinished, gigantic pillars or statues
to the honor of the great men, from
Washington to Edgar Poe. Of late
years the admiration of our favorites
among prominent men has had a tend
ency to run into testimonials of a sub
stantial character while they were living;
testimonials which vary in value from a
teapot to fortune for life. The differ
ing ways in which these gifts are offered
and received are an amusing study.
After the war, for example, the popular
military leaders on both sides received
gifts from their admirers Gin some in
stances of enormous value) with as
hearty and cordial spirit as that in
which they were offered.
An instance of the opposite kind oc-
Cured few years ago, which is worth
telling, as it illustrates The peculiar
character of an author, beloved, we
trust, by all readers of the Companion
Hans Christian Andersen. An American
writer who had a profound respect for
the good Danish poet heard that he was
in extreme poverty, and suggested in
the New York Tribune that if each
child in America who had been touched
and delighted by his stories would CON
tribute trife, it would make his de-
clining years comfortable and happy.
The idea was received with enthusiasm
all over the country. Contributions be-
gan to pour in rapidly and had already
reached a considerable sum, when An
dersen heard Of what was going on, aud
wrote an angry letter, not denying that
he Was straitened in means, but repudi-
ating the offered sum ''as an insult"
The money was at once expended for
o work. of art and forwarded to him.
In that shape it gave him keen delight,
and he was wont to show the ''testimo-
NAL from his children in America"
with pride, to all his visitors. = Youth S
