Lection From Paradise. California.

EDS. RECORD UNION: In describing the
village of Paradise, in my former letter, l
spoke of the Good Templars' Hall, two
story building, where two lodges meet
every Sunday. Since writing that there
has been a series of religious meetings held
at the hall, conducted by Mr.. Barbour, of
Lincoln, assisted by local ministers. which
seem to have aroused the religious senti-
ment in many who had hitherto been
members of the church in other lands,
and also in good many of the young peo-
Pile; so much so that there is earnest talk
of building church here, or furnishing
the lower story of the hall for public wor-
ship. Mr.. and Mrs. Barbour spent about
two weeks here, and made many friends.
The new organization contemplates giving
Mr.. Barbour call to preside as shepherd
over the flock thus gathered together.
DIR. Mack, physician and surgeon, has
lately located here; so you see that we
have all the appliances for the spiritual
and physical welfare of this community.
1t may be asked: What has all this to
do with the soil, water, climate and other
natural advantages of this section ~ 1t
has all to do with it. These are the super
structures that grow upon the resources of
the country. They show that here are all
the elements necessary to sustain popu-
lation from which springs organized
society. 1t proves to the man who is will
ing TO use his head ana his hands, that he
can make living here, enjoy some of the
refinements ana also contribute something
to the general good.
The plateau upon which Paradise is
located is somewhat fan.shaped, being wide
on its southern border and narrow on the
north, where it terminates at the foot of
MagaEa hill. Here the two streams-the
west branch of Feather river and Butte
creek, that bound this country on the east
and on the west-approach each other At
the foot of this hill, along the upper border
of Paradise, are several large bitches which
were constructed to convey water from
these large streams to Cherokee, 0roville,
Morris Ravine, and other mining locali-
ties and some of them still convey water
to those places. Whenever, by additional
Pclearing and cultivation. it becomes neces-
sary to use more water for irrigation than
is now afforded by the local streams, these
large bitches, flowing across the upper
border of the plateau, will afford an abun-
dance of water. sufficient to warrant the
planting of orchards, vineyards, clover
fields, etc II is said that trees and vines
may be successfully cultivated here with
out irrigation, but with a little water they
will do much better, and in fact it is
already demonstrated that they grow 10 the
very utmost success. B. RUSSELL

THANKSGIVING.

The national tradition makes this
Thanksgiving Day; day on which the
people are expected to manifest their
thankfulness for the blessings they enjoy.
If il is observed merely because it is ira
ditional, then it were better unnoted. There
lives no man, who has lived to any pur-
pose whatever, who should not make this
day one Of some thanksgiving. Those of
us who are conscious of shortcomings have
cause to be thankful that, despite our
deserts, we are blessed as we are. 1t is
not the form, but the spirit of this days
observance that is to give the holiday real
value to men. Prayer takes as many
forms as there are modes of expression
and methods employed by men of mani
Testing Acknowledgements so all joyousness
is thanksgiving, for it must be voluntary.
We are not at all convinced that there is
not profound devotional attitude on
such a day as this, in the feasting of the
hour the reunion of families and friends
and the festivity, even of boisterous social
gatherings. The merry-making that
springs from sincere JOY, pure love of life
and sweet companionship-these are forms
of thankfulness. Unbending on this day,
putting aside the ledger and the
hammer, the pen and the pillow,
are acts of thanksgiving, and acts
in which all can afford to indulge
If we except the unfortunate newspaper
man, whose thankful unbending must be
mingled with more or less of the restraint
Of unrelenting duty. 1t is good thing
an extremely good thing-to have the
thoughts of all the people, even for the
minor part of one day in the year, turned
toward the consideration of things for
which they should be grateful. He is in
deed to be pitied who cannot find anr,,,
thing to-day for which to give thanks, If
only ill-fortune has shared his lot, still he
can find in the joys of others cause to re-
joice that he is privileged to witness them.
If the practical of the Thanksgiving din
ner is an unknown quantity with any de-
serving mortal to-day, there at least re-
main the pleasures Of Imagination, which
open to him kingdom where he reigns
supreme, and no limited purse puts bounds
upon the fight of his fancy. The day
ought to loosen purse-strings as well as
open hearts. Sympathy, backed by coin,
brings most of the balm of kindness to the
poor, best relieves distress and lays the
broadcast and most inviting table for the
unfortunate. The good one may do to-
day is enough to wall about the Thanks
giving tradition with sacred ramparts. So
we are glad that the day is traditional
with our people; that ii has grown to be
a fixed festival; that it is a memorable
and Interchangeable holiday But we are
far more grateful than it is observed in
the vast majority of cases, because of the
pure pleasure men can visit upon each
other. Let Us be thankful.

| Another Bibulous Diplomats Capers in
Mexico.
CINCINNATI, November 24th.-The Com
nserciaL Gdze,te's Washington correspondent
telegraphs as follows Another conspirator
has broken loose in Mexico against Secre-
| tary Bayard. Strangely enough it is his
new Minister, Manning, late of Louisiana.
A private dispatch received from the CITY
of Mexica says that the American Minister
has been making tour of the town, and
that his success IN painting the place red
was even greater than Sedgwick's As may
be supposed, no official information on the
subject has reached the Department of
State. As in Sedgwick's case, it may be
necessary for Bayard to send another set
of resolutions to Perry Belmont approving
prompt measures with Mexico. No one
who knows Minister Manning is in the
least surprised at the news received to-
night. His habits were made known both
to the President and Secretary Bayard be-
fore he was appointed. One who knew
him well from his own State said, when he
was finally selected Just wait until he
arrives. He may hold himself until then,
and for some time after, but look out for
what you will hear from the City of Mex.

AMERICANS SHOCKED.
CHICAGO November 2d.-The Times City
of Mexico special of November 23d SAYS
The American colony in this city is pro-
foundly agitated and worked up by an
affair which became public to-day and
which touches American pride to a degree
even surprising the Sedgwick affair This
story, in brief, is to the effect that the new
American Minister, Hon. Thomas H. Man
| ming, of Louisiana, has fallen a victim TO
the RELENTLESS, enemy of Mr. SodsvicK. Just
| how the fall particulars have become so
thoroughly known does not appear, for the
reason that no one desires to assume the
responsibility of first making known the
condition of the Minister.
WILL FACE THE MUSIC.
Owing 10 the fact that the Minister'S wife
and daughter were due to arrive by yester-
days train, the papers suppressed the story
provided the matter did not become no.
torious through the city, when further at
tempts at concealment would be impos-
sible. But the matter has become so thor
oughly spread over the city that the CORE
spondents consider themselves released
from their agreement to withhold it from
the American papers.
Judge Manning says he had determined
to face the music and had already cabled
Secretary Bayard the whole truth, and
would abide the result. The Minister feels
his position keenly. His estimable wife
and daughter arrived, and the news was
told them by the Judge himself Giruard,
the person at whose table the banquet
occurred, is the same person who intro
duced Envoy Sedgwick to the members of
the famous Jockey Club. 1t is thought on
all sides that the unfortunate event will in
in all probability lead to the early resigna-
ton of Minister Manning.

We have held steadily that the lacking on
to the public schools of systems of manual

that it is illegal, and invite the attention
of the State Board of Education to this lat

Mr.. MABIE, in an address before the
Prison Congress at Atlanta, declared the
press to be an efficient agency for the de-
lection of crime So it is. But it is very
often a hindrance Its accounts of crime
do lead to the capture of criminals, and
put officials, very often, upon the right
track. At the same time, not infrequently,
by its haste it defeats the ends of justice,
misleads the officers and warns the crimi-
nal in time to escape. These faults are
chargeable largely to the public that de-
mands highly-seasoned accounts, imme-
diate news and the latest, and rates paper
as unprogressive and listless that does not
give what it Graves. Moreover, as an
Eastern contemporary well remarks, re-
porters are put upon their mettle to fix
crime somewhere, and this very often leads
them into hasty speculations that in
calmer moods they would discard. Out of
this fact grows the disagreement between
accounts in journals, contemporaneously
appearing, of crimes committed within
their local jurisdiction. Unripe reporters
are prone to adopt theories and proceed
upon them, much as junior detectives do;
but the older hands abandon that practice,
and give cooler and more impartial ac-
counts, and thus more conserve the ends of
justice.
