American Shipping Interests and the
War.

War.
NEW YORK, April 14th. Since the report
of trouble between England and Russia
rumors have been flying around Wall
street to the effect that the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company intends taking its
steamers off the San Francisco service
and plying them between New York and
Liverpool. The steamships City of Toxic
and City of Picking were mentioned in
this connection. 4 representative of the
company said this morning: ''All these
rumors are the veriest bosh. The Pacific
Mail steamers are taxed to their utmost to
carry the freight sent in now, and where
would the benefit be in sending them to
Liverpool? 1t would only leave the coast
clear for the Union and Central Pacific. y
Another rumor, which seems to have more
foundation, is that the American line of
steamers of Philadelphia, under the
same ownership as the Red Star line,
are the subject of negotiations to
be run in connection with the North
ern Pacific Railroad. AS the flag
under which they float would be
neutral, the occurrence of war will, no
doubt, have an important influence on the
question of the future employment of
these vessels. Superintendent Wright, of
the Red Star line, would neither affirm
nor deny this rumor. He said if any ne
gotiations had been made, they emanated
from the Philadelphia Office. J. B. Viii
liams, of the Northern Pacific Company,
said: I" If war occurs between England
and Russia, English bottoms are going to
to be weak, especially on the Pacific
Coast. American ships may be preferred
by the tea trade, who have large interests
at stake, and if they desire to make cor
junction with the Northern Pacific am
sure we shall not object. I know of no
authority for this rumor, though"
NEW YORK, April 14th.-T The iminence
of the foreign war leads the Post to favor
the calling an extra session to repeal the
law forbidding the naturalization of for
eign vessels. 1t prints portion of Presi-
dent Grants message on the eve of the
Franco-German war, recommending the
passage of the act allowing the purchase
of foreign vessels, so that by means of
our enterprising capitalists our adventur-
Gus seamen might be quickly put in
condition to do again their fair share of
the ocean carrying trade of the world.

HONEY MAKING.

If native Hawaiians were taught
how to handle bees they might add
very considerably TO their yearly in
come by the production and sale of
honey. There are few native plants
which yield bee feed, but suita BILE
plants may be easily cultivated, and
small patches of mignonette and
clover would suffice for many colonies
of bees. The honey product of San
Diego county, California, is its chief
standby. San BernardinO and Los
Angeles counties in like manner pro-
duce heavy crops of honey. There is
a worldwide market for pure honey.
The latest Coast quotations are taken
from the San Francisco Herald of
TRADE. Thus: "Good extracted honey
is firm; stocks nearly exhausted.
Comb is selling very slowly at prices
favoring buyers. We quote choice,
clear, extracted according to quality,
AZ to cents per pound. Amber, 4
to II cents. Comb, dark to extra
white choice, 6@9 cents"

" DARKEST CLOUDS HAVE SILVER Lining
Weary mortals, cease repining,
Thought to thought ia sadness twining;
Darkest clouds have silver lining"
Would you LIES great wrongs subdues
Be We patient, strong and true.
Patience guards the crown Of merit,
Brave hearts only win and wear it,
Only brave hearts shall Inherit
Pleasures deep and self-renewing:
Lovely gifts Of lovely doing,
All may win, the right pursuing
Age to age repeats the story,
Earth shall yet be crowned with glory;
And celestial music rise
Out Of life'5 Inharmonies

The late Edmund About was happily
married, and had four sons and four
daughters. ''No one who ever met him, -
says the Athenoeenu, ''can forget the
charm of his conversation, his store of
anecdotes and his way of giving the best
possible form to everything he said
Two at least of three new English
bishops just appointed by Mr.. Gladstone
have made place in iterature-Bishop
Temple of London as one of the authors
of the once famous Essays and Re-
views" and Bishop Bickersteth of Exter
as the author of the widely-known poem,
yesterday, To-day, and Forever"
Mrs. Lucy Stone once made plea that
if women go into the pulpit the number
of male church members will increase, but
it is said that the only woman pastor in
Massachusetts has lost thirty-three per
cent of the male church members in four
years. Perhaps the Massachusetts, church
didn't make a good selection. If Mrs.
Langtry were to enter the pulpit we do
not think that she would lose thirty-three
per cent of her male members.
1t is said that the universities of Cam
bridge and Oxford are hotbeds of slang.
1t is the same with Harvard and Yale.
But perhaps those are evidences of a
higher education.
Cuba seems rather bad place for i'm
ported patriots just now. Aguero has
been shot and his band dispersed. Bona
chea and his crew, after having been cap
tured with ridiculous ease, have paid the
penalty of their meditated invasion with
their lives. Spanish rule in Cuba is
harsh enough, and hated not only by
Cuban. but by Spanish business residents.
The dream Of armed instruction in the
island is over, however. The new order,
and the better, is that of civil agitation,
which is bringing together both SpanIards
and Cubans in the common cause against
the Government. Blackmail expeditions,
like those of the Agueros and Bonacheas,
only hinder the islands progress. These
men must not accuse their fate when
caught. The new Captain General seems
to tie an active and firm man who falters
with no so-called insurgents.

Peerless potatoes that weighed "a pounds. the

Many different kinds of fruit of excellent
size and flavor, were ripened in Delta county
this year.
Immense vegetables of all Kinds are con
stantly coming IN from all parts OF the
county.
As an agricultural producer, Delta county
cannot be beat in the land. This fact has
been demonstrated by this seas on's output.
II. B. Kennedy has raised 2GI0 pounds Of
White Star potatoes from 20 pound of seed.
From two stems, or eyes, 10 pounds were dug
one single potato weighing four pounds. The
potato is large oblong. and smooth. and Of
fine quality. The seed costs fifty cents per
pound East, but Kennedy thinks that he
can afford to take Iess for his. We would
liks to see this excellent class oi potatoes
