4 Theory OF Soil lnnueMee.
Lexington XVI Letter. !


All Blue Grass country is good, but
some are better than other portions.
The clay. Of dull deep red hue. may not
show at a glance much room for draw
ing distinctions, but the kentuckian
will point to one lot and tell you that is
first-class blue grass. and to another and
pronounce that second class. He will
go on. and present at least four classes
of blue grass soil, and the stranger,
with his eyes on the ground, will never
understand whore is the difference un-
til the native explains that it is only Oh
the best of this soil that the walnut
fourishes, while the maple, the hickory,
and other forest growth show the grada-
tions Of richness and strength. They be-
lieye strongly. these people, that the
blue shell-bearing limestone which un-
derlies the rel clay of all this
region furnishes peculiar elements to all
kinds of vegetable growth, and that the
grass and the grain absorb from this
dis'nicgrating stone some properties
which are in turn taken into the systems
OF the stock. In short they hold that
the conditions Of blue grass growth. add
ing climate 10 the soil. are not equaled
anywhere.

occurrence as having sight restored
through blow upon the head
is not at all improbable. The
books narrate some few cases
of n very similar character, and the ex-
planaiion is that cataract has been

is nonsence to speak of the blow pro

The Ralsin Business.

The Ontario Fruit Gro,cer in discuss
ing the profits of raisin-growing says;
Many Of our vineyardists this year sold
their crops on the vines, which netted
them from $3.50 to $3.50 per acre, without
the expense and trouble Of curing the
crop. Mr.. A. z. johnson sold his crop,
from vineyard only three years old
from the cuttings, for s2l5 per acre on
the vines. j. q. North sold his crop
from eight acres for $3.50 on the vines,
and other sales were equally remunera-
tive. and some even more so. The yield
in the Riverside valley this season has
bee, upwardsoof 6O.O0O boxes, which is
an average Of about 100 boxes per acre
for all Vineyards, including very msny
that were just giving light crop. The
coming season will give us good crops
from many of these young vineyards,
aud the total yield next season for River
side alone will be about 100000 boxes,
as against 90, 900 boxes for 1883, and As, :
900 boxes for 1882.
Orange stands next TO Riverside in
raisin yield, and the planting of vines in
other colonies Of this county lalso in
San Diego county, will slowly bring up
the total yield Of Southern California;
but it will be many years before enough
will be produced to supply even one
fourth Of the amount OF raisins now -on-
sumel in the United States.

springer Accepts the Position
Assigned Him.

WASHINGTON, Jan. .-Representa-
tive Springer, at the earnest solicitation
OF prominent Democrats, both here and
in the State which he represents, has
concluded to accept the positions on the
House Committees to which he has been
assigned by Speaker Carlisle. lie says
he is not unmlndtul of the fact that
great injustice has been done him and
his constituents, but it is not for him to
decide what positions he shall ill
on committees. and he therefore
accepts the situation in good
faith, aud proceeds with zeal to
discharge the duties assigned him. Ills
committee will at once institute thor
ough investigation of the Department of
Justice. lie does not predict the result,
except that the whole truth shall he
known. lie says he has no friends in
the department to shield or enemies to
expose, aud the investigation, as far as
lie is concerned, will be impartial but
thorough. Possibly his committee will
ask the House soon after Congress re-
assemblies, for authority to send for per
sons aud papers.

great God Of War, William Tecumseh

the sentiment, "If any man mentions

SO well, and nobody knows better than
he how to give Californians, In an ofihand

hearty hope that his presence here, like

Gates willingness on his part to again
dare the Presidential chances Mt the
polls. We do not belive the party could
have n stronger candidate, aud he would
run ON the Pacific Coast like scared wolf.
We are inclined to believe, however,
that General Hancock has absolutely
surrendered political ambition, and has
really come to this Coast for the tip,e

be united in marriage and after the cere.
mony had been pronounced the groom,
taking coin from his vest pocket,
handed it to Mr.. Allin and departed
When they had gone Mr.. Allin looked
at his fec and found it was five cent

and thought no more about it until mid
night, when the door bell was Violently
pulled, and on descending to learn who
was his nocturnal visitor, he found the

full of apologies. He explained the
amusing mistake and rewarded the cier.
