RED PEPPER FOR SPARRows.-Houseke
ers put red pepper down into rat holes to
drive the rats away. a Pennsylvania genius
adopted the same remedy, the other day,
to rid his premises of English sparrows. A
quantity of red pepper was sprinkled on
the vines where the sparrows were congre-
gated, and when the dose was thoroughly
sifted through their hiding places they
started for the equator. This is much sim
pier and more feasible than the steam fire
engine warfare, once advocated in these
columns by the late Wilson Flagg. The
sparrows are in many localities now con-
sidered vermin and shot with shotgun and
rifle. An Arizona correspondent suggests
that the sparrow intliction would be mitl-
gated if small boys fitted the birds with
artificial melody. But it would be much
more sensible if the cooks OF the country
should set their wits to work TO devise
variety of sparrow dishes. If some OF our
correspondents, who profess to be aggrleVed
because the sparrows have routed the song
sters, are DESTROYS of providing remedy,
let them experiment with the sparrow, as a
table delicacy, and send US the results OF
their successful ventures for the instruction
and emulation of others Forest and

ANOTHER ELECTRIC RAILwAY.-TheA rler-
lean Engineer says: A new electric railway,
the invention of Professor Short, Of the
Denver University, was given prac-
teal test last week The inventor
claims for this invention that il
possesses principles not used in
the Edison and similar inventions The
test vas made over 800 feet of track built
in a semi-circle and having at one point a
grade of $50 feet to the mile. The track
was few inches narrower than that of a
narrow gauge railway. The dummy car
built for the occasion contained five per-
sons, and was propelled over the track at a
lively rate Of speed. 1t was governed the
same as a cable car Professor Short claims
that his dynamo is superior to all others
Some time ago a company was formed to
build cable car line in Denver on which
this invention is to be used, and already
tracks are laid upon number Of the streets
The members of the company say the line
will be in operation by fall.

CAPTURED BY SToNEWALL JACKsoN.-Rid-
ing in advance of his skirmish line through
the swamp, attended by few staff officers,
General Jackson found himself in the pres
ence of fifteen or twenty Federal soldiers

prudence to assume the offensive and to
charge upon them before they fred upon

ney, then Assistant Adjutant-G General of
Elzey's brigade for the following account !:
As ElZey's brigade was pressing forward
to the line held by the Confederates at the
bloody battle of Gaines Mill, squad of
fifteen or twenty soldiers were encountered
on their way to the rear. \ tall fellow at
the head OF the little party drew special at

top of his voice with an oath, 9 Gentlemen.

meut which he repeated with evident
pride all along the line as our men tramped

story was true. General Jackson, having
ridden some distance III advance, lad come
suddenly upon the bluecoats, and with his
characteristic impetuosity had charged
among them and ordered them to surren-

We are greatly afraid that Andrews will
not make agood case against the monopoly
by such tergiversations. Indeed, he has
already put his foot in it, and his thunder
bolt will be likely 10 return boomerang.
Seriously speaking, if there is a great
good to the result from this exhibit of our
products, the Southern Pacific Railroad is
entitled to it. The people of our State had
no confidence in Andrews, and they did
have i'll the company, i'll this connection,
certainly.
The Report protested against the appoint
ment OF Andrews to the responsible posi-
ton of Commissioner to the Worlds Fair,
and predicted that he would give general
dissatisfaction. The Report stated that An
drews was extensively unpopular; that the
people would not raise fund TO be dis
tributed by him; that the Governor, in Sc
lecting Andrews, had made the biggest
blunder of his administration that the
time would come when the Commissioner
would show up in a very bad light.
His worse enemy could not wish An
drews in a worse position than be stands to-
day
The railroad people, the gentlemen in
charge of special exhibits in the California
department. newspaper correspondents from
this city, and others who attended the
Worlds Fair, write in sweeping condemna-
ton of Andrews. Even Railroad Commits
sioner Foote, the most prominent anti
railroad man in the State was disguised
with Andrews behavior in New O.leans,
and does not hesitate to say so.
If Andrews is wise in his day and gen
Grafton he will keep his mouth tightly
closed, and allow time to obliterate Califor-
MAS unpleasant memories Of the World g
Fair Commissioner.

PRIDE AND WoRK-One of the secrets OF
doing well in the world is pride We dc
not mean that offensive quality which SO
often displays itself to the discomfort OF
people in general. Pride is good thing
when well handled, and the pride we refer
to is that of doing even the smallest duties
in the best possible manner He that is
faithful in little will be faithful also in
much, is very old idea, but it seems to
be as often forgotten, as if it were one OF
the fresh jokes of the day, which are
laughed at and dismissed from memory
Pride in good work is the secret of me
chanical success. 1t is the foundation OF
literary fame as well. Talent viii do much
for young people, but pride in excellent
work will DO more. There are many peo-
pie who seem to think their work is only
to be gotten over with by hook or crook
These are the ones who recruit the ranks OF
the unsuccessful. They go to swell the
crowds of oilers and GROWERS. Their pride
is exercised in evading work. A proper
pride will not slight the humblest task.

SEA BEANS Little is certainly known
relating to this singular vegetable produc-
ton brought by ocean currents to the
shores of Key West and Florida. These
beans. of which there seem to be several
varieties, are exceedingly brilliant in their
shades of carmine, sometimes with white OF
brown edges. They vary in size from haitian
inch to two inches or more in diameter
are fat. and used solely as charms or man
ufactured into ornamental boxes. They
are generally supposed to have been hoated
from the West Indies TO our shores, and
have been botanically relocated to the
genus Ipomea, or that class to which oui
so-called morning-glories belong.-[Chi-

MILITARY ExPERTs-The Sacramento
member of the National Guard who killed
a horse in an opposite direction from the
target at which he was supposed 10 be
firing, has been matched III Texas. The
Siftiaos tells of the latter military expert
as follows One Of the crack military
companies Of Houston was out one day
last week practicing target-shooting. One
of the members was told to shoot at the
door of a deserted barn. He did so, but
missed the entire barn. The Captain was
very angry and told the young man how
bad it would be- in case the enemy were
shooting from behind the door, that none
of them would be hit. Yes, but wouldn't
the hostile enemies that were coming
around the corner of the barn catch fits ?''
replied this Texas Bogardus.

THE Art OF SEALING LErTER.-Thereis
q great art in sealing letter, and the can
die, the stick of sealing wax. and dainti-
ly-engraYed seal are now requisites Of the
fashionable writing table When sealed,
note and candle are ready, 90 not begin by
thrusting the end of the wax stick into the
fame and conveying itin flaming splatter
of wax to You envelope. Take plenty of
time to do it. First lay the seal right to
your hand, so that the impression may be
square and not wrong side up. Then hold
the wax considerably above the flame of
the candle-not close enough to burn. a
burnt wax makes brittle, strealIy seal,
and is hard to manage When the wax
has gradually softened, apply it with a cir
cular movement Of the hand upon the note
Rub it well around and down until you
have the proper circle of sufficient thick
ness. Then do not apply the seal. The
wax has cooled so that it would not take a
clear impression. Hold the envelope some
little distance from the flame, then lay it
upon your desk and apply the seal. The
result should be a clear-cut impression.
