in the head, with pains in the side

wonderful remedy. The tired, Ian

Mrs. Della Marsh writes from Pea

dyspepsia in the worst form for five

The idiotic jabber about some of the men who have
been spoken as possible candidates for Governor,
INDUCED by parties in different localities in the
State. reminds of street argument we heard be-
Democrat and Republican. one election day,
many years ago. 1t was about the time Congressman
Whitemore. of South Carolina had been exposed for
selling appointments to Cadetships at West Point.
The Democrat loudly denouncing the Republican
party its alleged rascalitv He had loud coarse
voice and was attracting good deal of attention:
why jist look at their conduct in Congress. Jist
look what Whittemore done! Whittemore is spec
linen of the Republican party! They're proud o1
Whittemores Jist look at Whitte''-
who is Whttemore?' - asked the Republican
'.Whittemore? Why, he's-did you ask rh0 he
was?n
"Yesm
"Why-pshaw, he's-well, don't jst know where
he's frum. can't read myself, but I've heerd hear
about him"
That man knew much about Whittemore as thes'
fellows do about Gubernaturial caudidates.

A LITTLE WHILE.

A little while--the dew is glistening still
Upon the daisy's stem; yet one short hour
The scornful rays tho diamond worlds shall
kill,
And leave TO thirsty grief oach trembling
flower.
A little while this fair midspring shall swoon
To summer, and the the summer, know
ing not
The fullness Of the glory of the boon,
Shall pale to wintry arms and deaths dark
lot
A littlo whilo-and yonder. star that came
A timid splendor TO widowed sky,
Shall perish in tho cruel mornings flame,
Too fair to live, and yet too fair to die.
And ye who live. and love, and laugh to-day,
Content meath tranquil skies, whose every
smile
Bespcaks glad hearts as children at their
play,
Ye too, must sorrow in little while.
Ye, too, mnst grasp the secret of cold death;
Ye, too, must see the forms beloved that
smile
With love-light on you, rigid, reft of
breath
A little while, o God, little while!

THE QUIET GARDEN.

All silent In the gar,ien
Where tho children used 10 stray,
The children, mon aud women now,
Grown up aud gone away,
Amid tho strife and toll Of lifo
Have never time TO Play.
Horo In tho rustling boeohos
Once tho linnet loved 20 singi
The bird still seeks the old homc-nost,
While human hearts take wing;
For man has less Of faithfulness
Than any living thing
oh, heart grown sour with sorrow,
While tho swift years fly apaco,
II there no everlasting love,
That knows not time or spacep
All loves revive, and grow and thiiyo
In Gods great resting place
Tho treasures OF his kingdom
Arc our old things made new
Old hopes, old scenes and faded flowers
Baptized with heavenly dew;
Tho sin and doubt ho washes out,
And leaves the pure and true.
Wait in the quiet garden
While the linnet trills its song;
The other voices, silent now,
Shall come 10 thee ere long,
Earths weakness past, loves tone at last
Shall ring out clear and strong.

From Southern California.

Los ANGELES, Cal, April 6, 1885.
ED. FREE Press: For the first tim
in nearly three months the beautiful
rain commenced to fall and tho can
gelenos' were beginning to rejoice ii
anticipation of the reign of Jupiter
Pluvius for time, but as write th(
clouds have scattered away and 1
stiff trade wind has sprung up: tho
same that indicated the end of the SO
called ''rainy season" which this
winter we did not have-and which
prevailed all through the summer. 1t
it now conceded by the press and the
oldest inhabitants that we shall have
little or no rain until fall. The grain
crops will be short but not q failure
by any means. The comparative
good condition of the wheat, other
cereals and hay fields, in the absence
of the usual spring rainfalls, is attrib-
uted to the abundance of rain last
winter, when nearly four times the
usual amount fell, and SO thoroughly
saturated the soil that it yet retains
much of it's moisture.
In all parts where irrigation is
available, the smaller crops as well as
all kinds of fruit are doing splendid
ly, and taken all in all, there is no
fear but that this is still a land of
plenty, and there will be something
for the outside world to purchase.
A few days ago I snatched a day
from my work and went into the
country about ten miles; took in Pas
adena and Wilson's canon, both resorts
for picnics, parties and other pleasure
seekers. After stroll in the woods,
good dinner, quiet snooze under
the trees, I climbed a high hill at the
canon and had a birds eye view of
the San Gabriel valley in which is also
the famous old mission of the same
name (San GabrieD, and which all
visitors desire to, or do take in. To
say the view was magnificent and en-
chanting would convey you only
faint idea of the apparently boundless
expanse of as fine fruit region as the
eve of mortal ever looked upon.
Away off on either hand and in front
lay thousands and thousands of acres
in tracts Of 10, 90, 30 and up to 100
acres each. all in high state Of cul-
tivation and nearly all in orange,
lemon and other citrous fruits, besides
countless acres in vineyards and de-
ciduous trees. Away off to the left
saw a number Of patriarchal palm
trees such as / have seen in pictures

try. In this city there are thousands

Mn PULITZER, speaking MS editor Of the
New York World and not as congress
man, says the session of Congress "promises
TO be lively one for business, and 1t Ia not
improbable that the Senate will supply food
enough for sectional and partisan agitation
before its close" Editor Pulitzer further
remarks that the House will he a working
body. One Of It's earliest acts Will be TO
pass bill regulating the presidential success
sion, and It will probably send to the Senate
the Iloar bill which passed that body last
session." To any one who knows the rela-
tive capacity Of the two houses for "supply-
ing food for sensational excitement aud
for keeping abreast with their work, Editor
Pulitzer's talk is very, very funny. Aud his
remark on the lloar bill is as good as a
whole comic opera to one who is familiar
with the history of that measure.
