A Contrast.

While tho Army of the Potomac vet.

day, fratsTliEsSs, with O fow paltry ex.
ceptions, with numerous wearars of the
grey uniform, the SIN took occasion to
present some remarkable statistics drawn
from official sources, which are worth
recalling. The Northern States arrsyed
against the South 2. .320,27 men, largely
native Americans, but form ssly of foreign
birth, embracing 36 patio halities. The
Confederate States never enrolled more
than 600,0 men, from first 10 last, of
whom only 400, eco ~sss at any ono time
in active service, and the total number In
the field never exceeded 200, 900. By
weight of meat" as Grant expressed It,
the South was gradually wasted away,
borne back and crushed. What could
200, 600 men, however valiant. do against
2,320, ,272 men well armed and equipped
The salvation of military honor was all
that could be hoped for against pot only
these odds on land, but D mastery OF

WHY not encourage Scottish croft
ers to come to this country and take
up small farms? The climate is no
barrier to them. They are a strong,
vigorous, moral and law-abiding
class Of people, and would be most
desirable addition to our population.
Especially in the raising of sheep and
handling of wool they would be in
valuable We do not think they
would do any good in the cane fields.
and indeed they would be more USE
full in other and more congenial pur-
suits. The crofters of the Western
Highlands of Scotland are also an
educated, thrifty and religious peo-
pie, and would thrive and do we'll
here. Let some of our large land
owners take the hint and cut up suit
able portions of their estates into
small farms, holding out inducements
to the victims of Scottish landlord
ism to come here and settle, and they
will soon have prosperous commu-
nifty around them, adding enormously
to the value of the remainder of their
property.

The Steamer Rinau.

By the Mariposa, due on Tuesday
next, fifteen machinists are expected
from San Francisco to work on the
steamer Kinau. 1t will be remembered
that recently the steamer touched on the
end of the island of Maui in coming
from Hawaii, and received slight
damage. The insurance company has
ordered necessary repairs to be
made. With the workmen here
at present it would take twenty-one
days to repair her. Three new plates
are to be put on. The fifteen men, if
they arrive by the Mariposa, which is
almost certain, will be put to work i'm
mediately, eight hours on and off. 1t is
expected they will have repairs com
pleted so as to return to the Coast by the
same steamer they came in. This will
save fourteen days time and dockage, a
matter of something like $1,000. While
the Kinau is laid up the Likelike will run
on her route.

towards building up manufacturing
industries in this country with
American capital, because the adj
vantages of climate which this coun-
try offers in the cost of buildings and
the uninterrupted conduct of labor
far more than offset the cost of trans
portation, etc., between these Islands
and the Coast. Money has become a
drug in the United States, and would
be invested here were the policy we
have indicated carried out.
This predicates a further sacrifice of
revenue. But as Government cam

follows that the necessary funds
would be raised mainly by direct
taxation. And here again is an ad-
vantage. This would cause taxpay-
ers to take a far livelier interest in
public affairs than they usually do
when the revenue is raised by indi-
rect, and therefore unfelt, taxation.

THE Irrigation Commissioner sent
by the Victorian Government to the
United States has made an exhaust
i've report in which he advises great
caution to be exercised before adopt
ing American irrigation methods.
The natural water supply of Victoria
is not nearly so abundant as that of
California, and a storage system
must precede distribution. There is
no doubt at all that in California
great mistakes have been made in
irrigation. The soil in many places
has been "water-logged," so to speak,
and where irrigation was deemed an
absolute necessity three or four years
ago, drainage has now become i'm
perative. It wilt cost ten times as
much to drain the low lying lands in
the great valleys as it did to 6ll it
with water for the sake of forcing a
crop or two. There is danger in this
country also of abusing irrigation.

Meeting a Leprahaun.
Letter.

I'Uncle BIZ W TX letter.
John w. Mackay continues to be one
of the multiple millionaires commonly
pointed out to loungers in the hotels and
street He is here a good part of the
time / asked him if it was true that he
had been systematically helped to wealth
by a leprahaun.
"There are thousands of Irishmen who
think so, have no doubt, was the ex-
Californian's laughing reply. "The Iep-
rahaun is creature of Ireland's mythol-
ogy. He is supposed to be sprite who
makes the fairies shoes, and, notwith-
standing his humble trade, he is ac-
quainted with all the hidden treasures of
the earth. He will reveal them to who
ever asks him in a sufficiently captivating
manner. If you are ever lucky enough to
come across a leprahaun don't let him
get out of your sight else your chance to
interview him is gone forever No sec
ond glimpse is ever obtained. Well, the
Irish peasantry firmly believe in this
myth, and long residence in Ameri,a
doesn't eradicate it from their minds
The Irishmen among the miners of Ne
vada generally had the idea that my sue
cess in the Comstock lode was due to an
encounter with leprahaun.

III w Russian Soldiers Anuse Themselves.


On the same evening. on paying a visit
to a major of Cossacks. with whom / was
acquainted, I saw an example of the
manner in which ussian soldiers Occa-
sionally amuse themselves when in these
remote places. A stake was rmly planted
in the ground, and two ropes, each some
twenty feet long. were attached to it the
extremity of each Icing held by blind
folded soldier, who tarried in his right
hand stout piece of rope about three
feet long.
Holding the ropes extended to their full
length, they were placed at opposite sides
of the circle which they would be
obliged to follow, and a signal was
given. Each listened intently to try if he
could discover the approach of his ad-
versary. If one could steal march upon
the other, he belabored him with the
ropes end, dozen blows. / believe,

time. The performance seemed to de-
light both the major and the remainder of
the spectators.

What did the sparrow do yesterday.
Nobody knew but the sparrows;
He were too bold who should try to say
They have forgotten it all to-day.
Why does it haunt my thoughts this way,
With joy that piques and harrows,
As the birds fly past,
And the chimes ring fast,
And the long spring shadows sweet shadow
cast.
There's maple-bud redder to-day;
1t VIII almost flower tomorrow;
could swear twas only yesterday,
In a sheath of snow and ice it lay,
With fierce winds blowing it every way;
Whose surety had it to borrow,
Till bird, should fly past,
And chimes ring fast,
And the long spring shadows sweet shadow
cast?
WAS there ever day like to-day,
SO clear, so shining, so tender?"
The old cry out; and the children say,
With laugh, aside: That's always the way,
With the old, in spring; as long as they stay,
They find in it greater splendor,
When the birds fly past,
And the chimes ring fast,
And the long spring shadows sweet shadow
cast"
Then that may be why my thoughts all day
| see | am old, by the token
Are so haunted by sounds. now SO sad, now
gay,

And the maple-bud's mysterious way
by which from its sheath it has broken.
While the birds fly past,
And the chimes ring fast
And the long spring shadows sweet shadow
