Lower California Tidbits.

In letter from Mulege, Lower Cali
fornia, to the New York Sun, Fannie B.
Ward says; The other day Betsy and |
were entertained at an exceedingly swell
banquet at the house of wealthy pearl
merchant. Among the numerous courses
OF the dinner were some enormous snails,
which had been fattened for Lenten
food, as is the custom also in some parts
of southern Europe. The snails are
kept in large reservoirs, the floors of
which are strewn with herbs and flow
ers. Doubtless the fashion was borrowed
from the luxurious Romans, who, if we
may believe Varro, fed them on bran
and wine till sometimes a single shell
would contain ten quarts But that
course remained untasted, despite our
utmost efforts to do as the Romans do.
At later stage of the banquet two ser
wants appeared staggering under the
weight of huge mangrove branch.
laden with parasitic oysters. This was
placed in the center of the festive board.
Each little bivalve, moored by threads of
its own spinning, clung so tenaciously
that hammer was needed to displace it.
This circumstance aroused our interest
in the oyster family, and determined us
to cultivate their acquaintance. The
parasitical or tree oyster is as common
here as in the Indian seas, and looks so
exactly like a dried leaf as to deceive
even the fisher birds that seek it, 1t is
found attached to the roots and branches
of the mangrove tree, which grows in
sheltered bays at the edge of the sea.
These odorous groves look like marine
forests, their lofty branches dipping the
waves during high tide.

HON EST JERRY.

An attempt is being made to
boom Mr.. jerry Schooling into a
Gubernatorial nomination. The
main reasons a good many people
have for making him Governor. is
that he has been called Honest
Jerry" for quite number of years.
The idea seems to possess quite a
number of people that because
Schooling never cracked safe, or
stood a man up on the highway,
that he must be made be made Of
some sort of stern and honest stuff,
above the common class, and that
Nevada cannot produce SC honest a
man as he. This thing has been
played for all it is worth, and was
the veriest bosh fro1a the beginning.
While no stain has eyer rested
upon Schooling's reputation for
honesty, the State of Nevada con-
tains thousands of men equally
above reproach. Schooling was in
the Legislature two years, and there
developed no qualities Of states
manship or capacity for lawmak-
irg which would distinguish him
from the common herd of novices
in that line.

4 RERLIN SENSATION.

The mysterious death of Herr
Interbock, an eminent German
Journalist, is puzzling the Berlinese.
Interbock was found insensible on
the pavement in front OF his resi-
dence at a late hour In the night,
and the doctors certified that ne
died from hemorrhage of diseased
lungs, and arrangements were made
for the funeral. AS the coffin was
about to be lowered into the grave
the police stopped the proceedings,
and claimed the body for autopsy,
on the charge that Interbock had
been murdered. The scene was
sensational in the extreme, ana
several women tainted. The au-
topsy confirmed what the police al
legged, and showed that 1nterbock
had been beaten until he was in
sensible, aud dumped from a cab
on the sidewalk in front of his
residence. 1t is regarded as very
singular that none Of his many
personal friends ever suspected that
his death was unnatural, and that
the case was voluntarily worked up
by the police.

A subject of seemingly small i'm
portance, but one which is calling
for a radical change throughout the
country, is the present system OF
stamping the postmark on letters.
In the majority of cases the matS
ial used is so poor and the letters
are so carelessly stamped, that it is
impossible to tell from the envelope
from what point the missive came.
Owing to the negligence of many
people in failing to date their let
tiers, this causes great inconvenience
and frequently entails loss on all
classes Of business men. It does
not seem difficult to construct q
stamp and use grade Of ink that
would print the mailing office
plainly on the ordinary cover. with
ordinary care in stamping. The
present system is q nuisance, and
some improvement is demanded by
the public Of the postal authorities.

FELL OVER A BEER KR6'

The fall Of Gladstone from the
high position Of the biggest man in
England, has its intensely iudi-
erous element.
His proposition to increase the
tax on beer brought forth . ire
mendous opposition, and he went
down under it. His blunders on
the Soudan and his final recall Of
the English troops, caused . strong
feeling against him. His dealings
with Russia, and work in allowing
the Gar to twist the tail Of the
British lion twice q week, and then
spit on his hands and take a
fresh hold, was endorsed BY the
English people in the light Of his
great past.
But when it came to a direct
assault upon the beer Of the Eng
xlish by an increase of taxatation,
it was an insult not to be tolerated
and the nation of beer drinkers
rising in the defence of the popu-
lar beverage, decreed that the
Prime Minister had survived his
usefulness.
That this man had threaded in
safety the perilous paths of polit-
ical life for over a quarter of cen
turv, to stumble at last over a beer
keg. is something as astounding
and unexpected as it is ludricous.
It may serve as lesson to am
bilious politicians for all times.
Yet upon such an ursubstantlal
foundation does greatness rest,
that so vulgar an obstacle as beer
key is liable at any time to trip the
