There are few : counties in the State
wherein the arts of husbandry are main
tanned in higher state Of perfection than
in Sacramento This county lies little
north of the geographical center of the
State. but is the natural railroad center of
the country north of the San Joaquin val
lev. Her area is 1920 square miles, and
her population in the neighborhood of 45,-
OOS. There is very little land in the county
that is not susceptible OF cultivation, as
s,,ming that the tule bottoms bordering on
the river can be reclaimed, and they doubt
less will be in the course of few years; for
the soil is the richest and most produc-
tive of any in the State. These tule beds,
enriched by the accumulations of decayed
vegetation for perhaps centuries past, are
CAPABLE of wonderful results. Several crops
can be grown upon the land in the same
wear, and the yield-whetber it be of grain,
vegetables or fruits enormous. Scores
of wears of constant cultivation would not
materially affect the yield of these tule
lands, so East are their resources of fertility.
In the earlier history of California-that
is, subsequent to the discovery of gold
Sacramento was mining county. All
along her foothill section, and the banks of
the American river and its tributaries. were
placer diggings of great wealth. Sacra-
mento city was for many years sustained
chiefly by her trade with the mines, and in
. the foothiil section of the county were a
number of fourishing, bustling villages
supported by the thousands of miners then
enployed in washing the gold from the
soil and rocks of the various gulches.
These villages have all long since passed
away. not even the walls of a cabin being
left to mark where some of them stood.
The gold seekers, TOO. are all gone (or
nearly ALL, and their places taken by few

AUBtES AND VICINITY.
Auburn, the eounty-seat of Placer. is in,
many respects All interesting town. IL is
situated On the main line of the railroad,
within easy distance of Sacramento The
altitude is 1856 feet-just high enough to
escape the heat OF the valley, and low
enough TO be free from the frosts of the
higher attitudes During the twelve
months preceding November, 1885, the
lowest temperature in Auburn was 23o;
the highest was 1862; the mean tempera-
tire for the year was $500. This equable
temperature makes it possible to produce
almost all the fruits that are grown in any
part Of the State. In many of the yards
and gardens can bt. seer, NJ least ono nv.
two orange trees loaded with fruit; and
even the lemon has in some cases been
cultivated with success. From many ex-
periments already made, it is believed
that eahis locality is specially adapted to
olive-growing. There is one large olive
orchard already in bearing another of sew
eral hundred four-year- trees, and at
least 5000 more olive trees will be planted
the coming season. The plants have also
been successfully cultivated, and the people
are Just waking up to the possibilities of

PiCayllne.


The people of Louisiana are all
familiar with the election law OF 1852,
which provided that all election tickets
should be printed on paper TO oe
furnished by the Secretary OF State,
who was required to provide the same
at 5 per cent. over the cost.
At that time, Col. w. A. Strong,
who was on the Governors staff, was
the Secretary of State. He was given
by the law little bonus on the price
of the paper, and as our elections
thereafter We're pretty warm, he had
on the strict terms very far little
income out of this law, in addition to
his salary and perquisites.
But it seems that out OF the gene
raj appropriation for election expenses
of that year, and the second year
following, the Auditor put into the
hands OF this Secretary of State on
Sept. 6, 1889, the sum of S2S10 10; on
April 26, 1884, Secretary Strong got
S2736, and on the 2Sth of the same
month $54. This was the money OF
the State, capital in trade, to give TINS
Secretary a start an the D per cent.
profit basis for election tickets.
Business was necessarily GOOD on
this kind of monopoly, and the
candidates had to put in their money
before getting any of this paper on
which to print these tickets. They
did pay, and Secretary Strong received
his money and his 5 per cent. com
mission. How much money we do not
know.
But this $4,000 banking fund fur
nished by the. State on this little cleo
ton paper speculation has never been
turned into the treasury OF the COM
mon wealth, or at least a very small
part of it.
Hon. Oscar Arroyo. when he took
charge of the Office OF Secretary OF
State in 1884, found no election pa
per fund" Mr.. Brandao, who was
the agent of Secretary Strong. turned
over to Mr.. Arroyo the sum OF S1l94.
Secretary Strong's account therefore
stands:
Moneys received from the State to
/ Accounted for to Secretary Arroyo, ll94 o'
Defalcation of Secretary Strong. .4o6 II
And yet Secretary Strong, in face OF
these facts, has been since appointed
Brigadier General of Militia by the
| Governor for one of the military dis
tricts of the State.
That appears to be the way in which
what ought to be the States honors
are distributed, and that is the way
much of the States money goes.

Can Imagination KilI !

This is, perhaps, hardly the correct
form of question that the British and
Colonial Druggist puts to itself in dis
cussing the death of the young woman
at Hackney under circumstances IN
which keating's insect powder largely
figured. As the powder appears by DIR.
Tidy's experiments to be perfectly
harmless, the suggestion is not unnat-
urally made that the deceased, who was
possibly of hysterical, highly imagi-
native turn of mind, took the powder
in full belief that by its means her
death might be accomplished. The
writer of the article in our cOntempo-
rary, we think, wrongly brings forward
two remarkable instances of what may
be regarded as practical jokes with
melancholy terminations. In the case

The total assessment of this parish,
as shown by the tableau published in
our last issue, was increased 1887
over that of last year. This IS due to
IN il'1 Ievying ssss a. heavier assessment on ali
railroad property. The railroad au-
thorities, after an unsuccessful attempt
to get the new assessment reduced,
have, it is reported, determined to aid
in the election of men who will be
more lenient with them-both at the
coming special election for the Judge
ship and for representative in 1886. Be
that as it may, despite the increase OF
assessment on their property, the rail-.
road directors have shown equity and
wisdom in not pouncing on the poor
public because Of fight between them
and our parochial authorities; The in.
