A CURIOUS story of Mr.. Hasti ngs.
the legitimate heir of the earl of Hunt
ington, is told by an English paper
When a young man he met pretty
chambermaid named Betsy Warner,
and, becoming enamored of her,
vowed to marry her if ever he got
possession of the family living. Thir-
ty years passed by. Mr.. Hastings for
got his early love, married, lost his
wife, and finally gained as a second
living that he had always desired.
One day the venerable old pastor was
astonished by the arrival of Miss War
ner, who calmly told him she came to
claim the fulfillment of his promise, as
she had never swerved from her en-
gagement. The result was that the
reverend gentleman, finding upon in
quiry that his betrothed's conduct had
been exemplary, consented, published
the banns himself in his own church,
and married his early love.

KING VICTOR EMMANUEL, on his
Dad to Ven ice. which has just been
given up to Italy by the Austrians
stopped at Milan, where he was well
comed by the mayor and aldermen.
He had been told that the MAYORS
name was Beretta, and his royal char
acteristic of an excellent memory en-
abled him to address the mayor by
name. But he said: "Count Beretta.
| am glad to shake hands with YOU"
The mayor protested against the title,
nd said he came from family of
nipple bourgeois. The king smiled
and answered: "You know the old
adage that king can not err. wish
you good morning, count" The royal
party resumed their journey, and two
days later the mayor received patent
of nobility naming him count. That
was Victor Emmanuers way of cor
recting mistakes.

American Wines.

The statements made concerning the
enormous increase in the wine pro-
duct OF California shows the tendency
in that state toward a greater diversi-
ty in agricultural pursuits. The vim
tage in the past year, which, it is said,
will amount to 50,000,000 or 60, 600. 900
gallons, is small when compared with
the vintage of France, which comes
very near 100000 600 gallons per an
mum, and France has not much
larger geographical area than the state
of California. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the area of land which can
be used for vine growing is compar-
atively smaller than it is in France.
The mountain ranges of the Pacific
slope occupy quite large part of the
surface OF this western state, and are
frequently so high and rugged as to
make any form of agriculture almost
impossible, except on their lower
slopes; while in France, with the ex-
ception OF the southeastern districts.
there are no mountains of any conse-
quence that limit the area of availa-
BILE land, and thus Interfere with the
agricultural pursuits of the people.
st'"he"oO VI VIM CuiluIe, over |
and above the raising of wheat, which |
has been the most prominent industry
Of California, consists in the utiliza-
ion of small tracts of land. When a
ield is devoted to the raising Of wheat
wo or three men are all that can be
orofitably employed on farm of 100
'cres. On the contrary, when land
5 devoted to the culture of grapes, or
vine making, a 100 acre lot would give
upport to fifty or sixty laborers. 1t is
therefore, apparent that, if the soil is
dapted to such purposes. land devoted
o wine culture can be made much
acre remuneratiye than if turned to
he coarser forms of agriculture.

MOVING Against DIR. TELLER.


He is Charged by Senator Hill ,cih an 1T
tempt to Suppress Important Papers.
Washington dispatch Several days ago
Senator Hill addressed letter to Secretary
Teller asking him how soon copies of the re-
ports OF the land agents who Investigated the
charges of fraud against the land entries in
the territory of New Mexico would be re adv
to be sent up to the senate, in eply to the SEN
ate resolution calling for these documents
Senator Hill received a reply Monday The
letter ia very evasive. 1t says that the docu-
ments are very voluminous and. that some
time will be required to prepare copies. The
secretary is unable to state Just when these
copies will be ready. Senator Hill construes
this reply to mean that the secretary does not
intend to comply with the resolution How'll
probably delay sending up the papers until
the close of the session. and trust 10 the ex-
element of the change of administl alton to
prevent the matter ever being thought of
again. 1t is not unlikely that the documents
may be destroyed. This is not so
well known that the secretary will not be able
to protect himself After the 4th the agents
will be free from his dictation.
and will be able TO reproduce without difficult
ty the practical results OF their Investigation
Ii the story told in connection with them is
true. 1t Will possibly afford material for some
one to move the expulsion of Mr.. Teller from
The senate His deliberate suppression OF the
papers showing these frauds and calling for
he CT tminal prosecution of his friends cannot
be defended.

The Samoan Islands.

1t may be as we'll to point out that
the intrinsic value of the Samoan group
is by no means considerable. It's his

the country to such an extent as al

hundred miles distant from Fiji, il can
not compare for Importance in any way
with those islands, being much smaller
and less fertile as a whole. 1t posses
SEES good harbor, but in this respect
is by no means exceptional. The two
principal islands are Savaii and Upolu.
The former is the larger island of the
two; and its appearance from Il O ca is
magnificent, as it rises regularly up
from the shore until it ends in peak
over five thousand feet high, covered
with greenery on the windward side
to the very summit. This island, ac-
cording to the traditions of the natives,
has been the cradle of the Polynesian
race; many of the neighborning islands
having been peopled from it, and even
the Maoris (who certainly much re-
semble the Samoans) having originally |
come from Savaii. This, of course, is |
very doubtful; but that the tradition
exists is undoubted. Savaii is now
very thinly inhabited, only the coast
line being occupied by few native
towns. Upolu, the smaller island, is
far richer; and here is Apia the Euro
