From the Rochester Post-Express
When Nesmith was elected to the
Senate from Oregon, in the early part
of the war, he had never been in Wash
ington never been east of the Rocky
Mountains, in fact, since he emIgrated
as q boy to the Pacific slope to seek his
fortune. He had never seer a railroad
oil a locomotive until he struck the
Panama road at the Isthmus, and, as he
described himself, was green as q
squash" Upon reaching Washington,
being too bashful to present his creden-
tials and be sworn in at once, he spent q
day OK two looking down upon that dis
tinguished body from a seat in the gall
lery, SO as to get the hang of things q
little before he ventured ON the floor.
His diffidence wore off after q little and
his great fund of anecdote, his fine vein
of humor, his frontier frankness and
originality of character and manner
drew around him warm friends of both
parties. Standing one day in a group
Of Senators who had been questioning
him concerning his adventurous life,
Senator Wilson Of Massachusetts, said
II understand, Senator, that yon had
never seen a railroad until you came
East, and that everything of that sort in
the way Of modern improvements was
entirely new to You. Now. I am Curl
Gus to know what struck you as being
the most wonderful thing hat met your
observation on this side of the CONT
nent?"
Nesmith hesitated q moment, then
said: well, / spent my first two OF
three days in Washington up there In
the gallery, looking OF the senate, and ]
think what most filed me with wonder
was the thought that /, who went off Il
Oregon years ago q poor, u~neducatec
boy, should be here as d member Of thu
highest Legislative body in the country
That was my greatest wonder"
"Weil-but-I don't mean that ex
actly,v said Wilson, who was chief,
curious about what mechanical contriy
ance OF invention had excited most sur

He gave her a ring and a holly wreath,
On a Christmas Eve, as the sun went down;
Never was lover more true than l."
The moon climbed into the frozen sky;
A great star shone in the darkening west;
A red fox, shivering, sought his nest;
The wild wind shouted and laughed with glee,
Though his breath was as cold as the northern
sea;
But the fra was bright, and hearts were light
And frolic and feasting filled the night,
Till loud rang the bells, the merry, merry oeLS,
For Joy on Christmas morning.
Christmas eve, and q maiden's heart
Throbbed with pain as the sun went down;
A ship had sailed on a summers day;
A wreck in the oceans depths it lay;
Phantoms gathered about the door;
Weird were the shadows on wall and floor;
The wind sang a dirge in the chimney old
For the brave Young lover whose heart was cold;
Sad were the eyes that watched the stars,
Till dawn crept in through the window bars,
And loud rang the bells, the p~itiless bells,
On q cheerless Christmas morning.
Hearts were happy and eyes were bright
On a Christmas Eve, as the sun wen' down,
For the sea had given up its dead,
And the captain brave 10 his bride was wed.
PhantoRs fed from the lighted hall;
There was only mirth in the night wind call;
Warmth and fragrance and silken sheen;
Laughter rippled bright hips between;
Music and revelry filed the night,
Till the stars had set and the east was bright;
Then loud rang the bells, the happy, happy
bells,
For joy on Christmas morning.

HEBABY OF

There came four folks to Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning
A child, a youth, anda woman fair,
And an old, old man with silver hair
With gifts for the Babes adjoining.
Then knelt they down at Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning..
And spring had brought a crocus wild,
And summer a rose for the Holy Child,
Gifts for the Babes adjoining.
And there they knelt at Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning;
And autumn gave Him her fruits of gold
And a holly bOugh brought winter old;
Gifts for the Babes adjoining.
So come We all to Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning,
And to the Holy Jesus sing,
And bring the best that we can bring;
Gifts for the Babes adornlng.

Wheat or Wine.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A vine-grower in Santa Clare counss
planted a new field in Matara vines lus'
three years ago. This year he sold ms
grapes. He got the almost incrediDie
result of six and one-half tons TO the
acre, and received $50 a ton-in otnef
words, $195 an acre. OF course TINS y
very far above the average, even ii
this prolific grape, but three tons TO 'ne
acre for a old vineyards are not =
ali unusual. This gives q yield OF SsO
per acre. 1t is safe to say that in tbrse
or four years from now the wheat sesas
of Colusa and Stanislaus would %
yielding q return not less than tins =
they we're planted to vines. bow
much do they yield at present
The average yield Of Callforn's
wheat lands last year was less
than fourteen bushels. This year
it is probably twenty-three bushels.
But how much Is the farmer making !
He is not getting a cent a pound Tor M
wheat, and he must be o very skiliIul
farmer, with very fine farm, who can
raise wheat at less than q cent q pound.
In the good times, q few years ago;
farmers used to count that they conia
realize 81 an acre off the best whea'
lands. Now you can hire admiraDis
wheat land in Stanislaus and Mercea
for $3.50 an acre. Poorer land, WIZ
some foot-hill thrown in-the very pes'
sites for vineyards, if people only kneN
it-can be hired in Fresno county iol
15 cents an acre. The great ditiicui.s
with California is that God Almighty
has done SO much for 1t that the people
Of the state don't care about doing any
thing fer themselves.

spring, and it is too early to make
the short side below s1.0O. Wheat may go
cent or two lower, but it will sell above s1.00
again sure, and for the present We advise
buying for time"
Crittenden & Harvey, says: "We think if
prices hold for day or two with no material
shrinkage we will get a sharp advance on the
covering of short rates, and when their
wants are supplied, unless We get additional
favorable news, could expect reaction.
The situation and market conditions do not
seem to warrant loosing her much permanent
advance now"
Shepard & Peacock say of provisions: ga
weak market ruled all the session. Sellers
came out in force, packers being among the
number, and the bears renewed their efforts
to force values lower. 1t looks somewhat
like the lenten break, which so many have
predicted, and which no one pretends to see
the end of, as everything depends on the
movements of the large operators. The
receipts of cattle at the stock yards
for the day were 6,2OO, or about 1000
less than last Wednesday, making the num-
bers, so far, about the same of last week.
The market ruled slow during the morning,
with some statesmen reporting prices shade
lower on good to choice shipping and dressed
beef grades, yet the average seemed to be
about the same as yesterday. Buyers, how
ever, had this advantage-there were
more good cattle to select from, some
lots being as choice as have been
here since Christmas. Taken altogether
there was little or no change. Some droyes
may have sold shade lower, and then again
some may have sold equally as well if not
higher Butchers stock is steady and there
is nothing new to note in stockers and feed
ers.
'The receipts of hogs were 1000 against
$4,000 last Wednesday, and for the week so
far about 8, ZOO less than last week. Good,
even heavy and even packers were 5(9l0c
higher and there was 5(01Oc
advance on choice assorted light and assorted
light light, but common and shipping lots
were almost unstable. Taken altogether
there was fair market on an advance OF 5
@10c. There were on sale Is, 900 head, in
cluding those left over. The receipts of
sheep were 5000, against S,217 week
ago to-day, making about 5000 less than
last week so far. There was 3
good demand and prices ruled firm on
all sorts. The lighter receipts and an i'm
provement in the eastern markets were the
main causes though there was good local
as well as a shipping demand. a good many
western sheep are expected tomorrow and
Friday.

New YORK, March 5.-The market was fe
verish and uncertain throughout the day,
1t remains a purely professional market, in
which outsiders find little if any opportunity
for profit. The room traders sold Louisville
d Nashville and Union Pacific down during
the first hour, and most of the list was weak
during the middle hours. The selling has
appeared to be better than the buying. The
short interest seems to be almost
entirely eliminated from the market, st. Paul
being the only stock which appears to be
oversold. There was some activity in Lacka-
wanna and Northern; the tendency being
downward, with pretty free selling of it.
Later in the day came good buying of the
grangers and Delaware and Lackawanna
which impaired rather better feeling to the
balance. There still exists quite a short in
terest in several stocks. New York
Central and Lackawanna and Northern
loaned at 1-64. Union Pacific and
st. Paul fiat. The volume of
business was light; the total transactions up
to noon were onlya little over 100, 600 shares.
The market was remarkably well held. Slay
back hammered Central Pacific and Oregon
Railway was severely raided by the room
traders, who discovered weak spot and took
advantage of it. The bears appeared desper-
ate and chagrined at the futility of their eff
forts in affecting the general list.
The earnings of Lackawanna 81
Northern, during the fourth week of
February, increased $4,000; Manitoba,
$4,000, and Canada Pacific $4,000. The
construction on the western end of the last
named, it is stated, is costing in some
places about 100000 per mile. Pullman
Palace touched 110 at the finish. The mar
ket closed dull but firm. The bulls are in
complete control of the situation.
