a PIucky Girl
[Kern County Echo.l

While visiting some friends at the
Arlington parlor few evenings ago
we heard related the following Incl
dent by one of the principal actresses !:
Ont on PUso creek certain young
l.dy has settled on a piece of Govern
ment land, has built house and is
making an honest effort to secure a
title to the same. Some time ago a
teamster drove up to her door and be-
gan unloading lumber. Supposing
some one had taken pity on her
"sincle blessedness," SHE thanked the
man kindly for the boards. II subse-
quently transpired that the object in
view in bringing the lumber there was
not to increase the lady's chances of
marriage by adding To her worldly
possessions. On the contrary, good
looking Superintendent told her his
instructions from Ben Ali were to erect
op her claim warehouse in which
some festive 'brake beamer" might
stsre his wardrobe aud rest his weary
l.ones while acquiring tile for b. A. to
this self-'ame quarter section. Not
many days elapsed isfare couple Of
dashing young carpenters appeared on
ne scene, armed with hammers and
SAWS, prepared to construct the afore
said building. A they drove np this
Aciress CAM ont of her domioile with
mans smile and cnnrtesy, aud glanc-
ing coqnetiishlv along the barrel of a
Winchester ile informed the "knights
of the saw" that If they attempted to
drive a nal she would certainly drive
bullet. 1t Is hardly necessary to add
that the gentlemen drove away. The
lumber disappeared within thirty days
aud the lady is still in possession of
her land,

pronounced his pulse perfectly normal,
ana IN order. to show that his strength
lad not suffered, Succi, before break
ing his fast, walked from Forli to For

himself at the disposal of the medical
,.culty OF Bologna, whose opinion in
tue matter is not yet known.

Lsss Her LIZ. ,n saving Others

A Butte (Mont.) special of the lith
10 the Pioneer Press, gives the partic
ulars of the drowning Of Miss Jane
Macarthur, formerly of that city, in a
heroic effort to save the lives Of others.
For years past she has been conducting
q cattle ranch en the Upper Sun river.
With her aged mother she was encamp-
ed on the banks of the river when
Judge Armstrong with his wife,
daughter aged Is, son aged l2, and
sister attempted to ford the river
with four-horse team. The horses
became unruly, ran into deep water,
and spilled the family into the rapid
current. None could swim. Miss Nc
Arthur, seeing the accident, plunged
~, and successfully saved the son,
daughter aud mother. Going back for
the sister, she was seized in Il death
grip by the drowning woman and both
were lost. The bodies were recovered.
Miss Macarthur was highly esteemed.

How Rain Is Produced.


Did it ever occur to the reader that
there is just as much water in the air
above him on a clear, bright day as on a
cloudy or rainy one9 Rain does not
come from somewhere else, nor is it
waited over you by the wind from else
where. The water that is over you is
simply waited on to some other place.
Water is absorbed in the air above US at
certain temperature, and it becomes
insensible. Cool that air by wind
draft of cooler atmosphere, or by elec
trical or chemical influences, and the
moment the air becom cooler it gives
up some of the watery particles that
where insensible or invisible at the
higher temperature. These small par
ticles thus given out unite, and when
enough of them eoalesce, obstruct the
light and show as clouds. When
enough of them unite to be too heavy
to float in the air, they begin to descend !;
pair after pair of them come together
until rain drop is formed. One of
these minute rain drops is made up of
millions of infinitely small watery par.
tIcles.
Air passing over cold tops of noun
tains is cooled down SO that ii gives up
good deal Of that concealed watery va
por. and hence little rain falls in the
region along the ice side of such noun
tains. This is why so little rain falls
In Colorado. and in other places north
and south of that State. The prevail
ing winds blow from the west, and the
cool tops of the Rocky Mountains low
er their temperature, and thus take out
the moisture that would otherwise fall
in rain.
In paper on "The Formati of
Rair, Hal. and Snow" recently read
before the Meteorological society, by
Mr. A. w. Cayden, f. G. s.. the au.
thsr points out that all observations
tend to show that, except under quite
abnormal conditions. the temperature
OF the atmosphere falls as the height
above the sea level increases; and there
seems no reason whatever for assum-
ing that law does not apply To that
portion of the atmosphere which forms
cloud Hence. il drop was To be
formed at or near the upper surface of
cloud, it would fall down into a
region saturated with vapor at TEN
perature above its own. The result
would be further condensation produc
ing larger drop; and this process will
continue until it reaches the ground.
However, it is obvious that this subse-
quent gain cannot bear any very large
proportion to the growth while falling
through the saturated cloud. from
which the conclusion follows that the
size tho drop must increase with the
thickness of the cloud. The author
suggests that the condensation begins
on the upper snrtsce of the clouds by
the cooling of some of the liquid clouds
particles. If this particle is cold
enough it will soidify, and snow will
be formed. Should it not be quite
cold enough TO solidify at once, owing
to its minuteness, but remain still be-
low the freezing point, hail is formed.
Finally, if the temperature is not low
enough for either snow or hail, rain is
produced.

A careful analysis of the votes cast at
the last general election in Great Brit
ain is very interesting. In the 423
contests by which 444 of the total 500
members were returned, the Tories
and Liberal seceders had majority of
76, 455 in a poll of very nearly 3,OOO.-
900. In the English county cOnstitu-
encies, returning 234 members, the
anti -Gladstonians had a majority of
1884 in a total poll of 1, 1,0S5,3O6 votes.
In the English boroughs returning 226
members, the Unionists bad majority
of 9I 100 in total vote of 1,215,362.
The Tory majority in England was
103. .762. Gladstone had majority of
IL .57S in Wales, and 27,421 in Scot

TnE JUSTICE OF THE CASE.

The amount that it will take to pay arrears
of pensions is not the question at all. If
they are due, then they should be paid, no
matter what amount it takes to do it,
This is what we said when the question of
paying the bondholders and other money
creditors Of the Government came up. We
said then that it it did not matter what
amount it would take to meet their claims,
it did not matter that we were paying them
back two dollars and more for one,-the only
thing we had TO consider was that we had
incurred the debt, and that we had promised
to pay it, We did our duty to the bond
holders undinchirgly, through years Of un-
certainty, discouragement, and of hard times
of unequaled severity.
While tens of thousands of our working
men were vainIy seeking enough employ
ment to support their families; while mer-
chants were bankrupting by legions; while
corporations were failing and factory wheels
everywhere rusting in idleness, we kept our
taxes to tie highest limit and vigorously
collected every dollar assessed, in order that
no man whom the Government owed should
fail to receive .ery cent of the face value OF
his account, and receive ii on the very day
when it was promised to be paid.
Having made >shs enormous sacrifice to
pay the bondholder, why can we not spare
little to do equal justice to the soldier, his
widow and orphans? To pay him all that
is due him will not require the imposition
Of an additional cent of taxation, and will
not require particle Of sacrifice on the part
OF the people His just claims can be dis
charged out of the surplus income of the
Government without raising the faintcst re-
minder, even, Of the severe struggle made to
raise money to meet the bondholders' re-
quirements.
The soldiers of this country not only gave
their health and strength and lives on the
field of battle to make the bondholder's prop
erty valuable, but on returning home and to
their usual pursuits they cheerfully aided
in paying the heavy taxes which were neces-
sary to meet the bondholders demands. Now,
when they ask that they be shown some
measure of that honor and justice that they
insisted should he exercised toward him,
he, forgetting every duty Of honor and
gratitude, repels them with the statement of
the amount that it will require to pay the
debt due them. This is shamefully dis
honest.
