A San Francisco hoodlum recently
 visited the Grand Canyon of the
 Colorado Tn company W ith party oi
 respectable citizens of Flagstaff. On arriving at the brink of the awful yawning chasm, and gaz,ng with dizzy delight on the enchanting min
 iature world far below, he assumed
 the striking attitude of a Prescott
 tragedian, his manly breast swelling out like an enraged cobra, and in stentoridn tone shouted, "Zamuel
 Zamuel "a single soul, single year;
 a hundred souls, a hundred years s''- when he was reminded of the fact that the beautiful natural panorama before him was no "BIack Crook" show, and that Zamuel did not reign there, but that the great chief of the Supais might entertain him, where upon he shouted lustsly for the main guy of the Canyon Dwellers: "Grea, Mogul of the Supais hear my prayer; almost thou pursuadest me to to become bug-eating member of your carmine-tinted horse thieves. Bring hither the reddest, greasiest maiden in your tribe that she may welcome the pale-faced stranger from the Golden Gate; I would live for. ever in your beautiful home, after which you can make me up into tobacco signs; I will unfold" But he didn't. Two of the party seized him, and, with harlequin maneuvre, he was hurled far over the cliff, and his body whirred to the bottom, Io,- 900 feet below, and presently the re- verberation of a "dull thud" was waited to the ears of the avenged spectators above.
 A number of papers have been agi tating the question as to when the legislative session will close. Secre- tary Van Arman has received an off cial communication from Washington, which sets the matter efectually at rest. In it he is instructed to pay members for sixty days from the date of the temporary organization. As the House effected a temporary or ganization on Thursday, January I5th, it will close on March 18th. The organization of the Council was not effected until January 2Ist, but as it can not prelong its session longer than that of the House. 1t is safe to say that the gavels of Mr. President and Mir. Speaker will on the 18th day of March sound the adjournment sine die of the Thirteenth Legislative As, It is rather unfortunate, too, that such should be the case, as there is large amount of important business to be transacted which it will be almost impossible to accom- plush during the limited time yet be- fore them.

General Grant,

A late dispatch from New York,
glves the following as Ex.Sena>
tors Chaffee's opinion ofthe cause
of Gen. Grants death "Ex-Sen-
ator Chaffee, whose daughter
married young Ulysses Grant. has
just gone home. Before leaving
he said, regarding the cause of
Gen. Grants death: The doctors
having given their verdict, let
me give you mine. Cancer was
finally but not primarily the cause
of Grants death. There was
great cancer gnawing at his heart
and causing him far more pain
than the one in his throat. You
can form no idea how the Gener~
al took the fail ire and betrayal of
his friends No one will ever
know the extent of his anguish,
not even his own family, for he
Was the bravest in their presence.
l was with him after the exposure
OF Ward. The General would
suffer hours in his large arm
chair, clutching nervously with
his hands at the arm rests, driv-
ing his finger-nails into the hard
wood. 1t was a pitiful spectacle.
One day he said to me: "Chaffee.
I could kill Ward, as would a
snake. / believe 1 should do it,
too, but l 90 not wish to be hang
ed for the killing of such wretch.
1t is said that Grant had but one
Object, which sustained life in
him for months, that of finishing
his hook and providing fer his
family. I know of another; he
wishe d TO live TO testify it, court
against Ward, and bring him to
Justice" CoDct rning the proposed
Grant monument, he said: New
York is purely il commercial city
and looks at everything from u
commercial stand point. Her
citizens will never contribute ST.,
000, 900 10 a Grant monument. If
the money is 10 be raised, New
York people must contribute it.
No aid need be expected from
other states, and yet. let his re-
mains be removed TO Washington
and the money would be raised
In thirty days. When Congress
meets. steps will be taken 10 OBJ
tain Mrs. Grants consent 10 the
removal. I do not think it will
be hard to get, and as soon as she
does consent, the change will be
made at once. | Talked with the
General on the subject before his
death. He never even so much
as mentioned New York. His
preferences were West Point,
Wash ington or Galena. Tie Sol
dier's Home will eventually be
the resting place Tor Grants re-
mains."'

Burial of Grant.

THE following was read at the Grant
obsequies at Walnut Creek, Contra Cos.
ia county, CAL, and was published by re-
quest in the Alta California;
He is gone! Numbered with the dead;
No more we see that martial form,
Or hear the hero soldiers tread.
No more to lead the battle storm
For now the laurel crowns his head.
He is gone! So the millions cry;
So say The loving ones of earth.
Who BOW will guard when dangers nigh,
This land to US of priceless worth?
Who for the right will win or die?
Toll the bellsl Toll them for the dead,
For here, around this open grave,
To-day Nations tears are shed.
Him no human POWER could save,
His life was TO the peoples need.
On! thou guardians of the skies,
Angels of purity and love
Guard the casket that in it lies,
To thy realms of light above
Take this spirit that never dies.
God of our fathers! Thee we trust
In this, our hour of deepest gloom;
Bless thou for us this sacred dust,
Now in the portals of the tomb.

Strawberries in Barrels.

Mrs S c. Sanford is engaged in
strawberry culture on her place. two
miles south Of Livermore, on quite an
extensive scale, when the method is Ia
ken into consideration. She has bored
holes 10 the sides Of boxes, barrels,
casks, hogsheads and other available
vessels, and filing the came with ine,
rich earth, has set out strawberry plants,
the leaves and crowns projecting through
the perforations. In the center of each
barrel or box is a very leaky bucket,
which is filed with fertilizer, and into
which is poured the water for the plants.
They are thus easily irrigated and ferii-
ized at the same time. She has 1000
plants thus placed-the largest scale up
on which we have ever known this plan
of raising strawberries to be tried II

AGoOd Meal.

Charles Dickens used TO say that he
judged the quality of housekeeping by
the castors on the table II the mustard
vas freshly made, the vinegar cruet
stainless, The silver brilliant. and the pep
per-boxes perpendicular, be expected q
good, clean, well served meal with be-
havior to match" II, on the contrary,
the castor was unclean, and out of order,
he knew what he had to expect, aud was
seldom disappointed. 1t is. Ia truth,
simple things that denote quslity. The
test of a good cook is not tee cake she
can make, nor the mysterious sauces she
can concoct, nor the rich buildings she
can produce. A good cook is known BY
her boiled potatoes. her mutton chop,
her roasted joint. Sach plain things re-
quire personal care and Judgment and

Pendlet0n-McLean.
Shelby County Democrat.

A great many Democrats have won.
dered Why the Enquirer is SO bitterly
opposed to the Hon. George H. Pend %.
ton. The Enquirer is OF the option
that Pendlelon is no Democrat, where.
as the best informed people consider
him better Democrat than Mclean. A
reporter OF the Chicago Tribune, having
interviewed ex Senator Pendleton in the
matter, produced the following as MIR.
Pendleton's statement OF the cause OF
the Euquirer's hostility:
A abort time before General Hazen
bad been appointed to be Chief Officer
of the Signal Service, Mr.. McLesn CAL
led upon me at nv residence at Cincin-
natl, and stated that iDssmuch as Gen.
Hszan was bis bro,her-in. law, be was
very anxious - have him promoted to
the head Of the service. He said that
as the matter would soon be sprung, be
wanted all the Endorsement he could get
for General Hszsn, and desired me to
write letter sustaining the General for
that position. l told Mr.. Mclean that
I should be too glad to do him any ser
vice consistent with the responsibility OF
my position; that regretted exceed
ingly, but could not write q letter in
dorsing General Hszen for the position,
as l con ,idered him in no manner cspa-
BILE of filing the same. Mr.. Mclean
got very angry and threatening, and
politely showed him the door, He ssid
be would come the next day for that
letter. / informed him it would be no
use whatever, and closed the door, The
next morning he called for the letter,
aud told him that had written no let
ter ard would not From that moment
dates the dght which Mr.. Mclean has
male upon me. He has used the civil
service reform bill as clnb. but be will
end that it will yet be boomerang.
Mr. Pendletop exercised q privilege.
aud, as events show. used his judgment
to good purposes. Hszen Is now before
court martial, and though it may be
u r)ugh spite work that he is there, be
is there all the same, and il Pendleton
had put his name to letter endorsing
Hazen, it possibly might have become
mure OF club than Mel ans paper.
As between Mclean and Pendleton, 10

fairs, we tally one for Pendletou.
