My Hero.

What signifies the outward show!
VIII signifies his veal h or place
When we the heart have learned to know,
What do we care for form or face!
And what care we for name or creed
That buried ages may unroll,
If under all we clearly read
The record of dauntless soul!
II loyal to his sense of right,
Ifprompt and sure at Duty's call,
He walks, as walking in Gods sight,
His aim the manifest man of all;
If helpful as the sunbright day,
If pitiful of others woes,
He follows in the masters way
And bears blessing where he goes;
If, gaining much, he loses all,
While summer friends go coldly by,
He proves his courage by his fall
Resolved to win the day or die;
With hope alive, in God his trust,
He keeps spirit kind and true,
And rises bravely from the dust
To fight his weary battle through;
If, working on through pain and loss,
His earnest soul be not cast down;
He beareth patiently his cross,
While winning steadily his crown;
The mans heroi and we give
The need of love, which is his due,
No idle praise! but while we live,
The wreath of bay the knot of blue!
Helen Keith.

The Mormons are now credited with
another scheme. 1t is rumored that they
intend to move into the State of Nevada,
legislate or drive the few inhabitants out
of the State, seize the reins of govern
ment, and then ask Uncle Sam what he
is going to do about it. This is very
pretty scheme on paper, but if it was at
all feasible the shrewd Mormons would
have carried it out long ago.

A young woman of Dakota moved a
few months ago from the Black Hills,
and, while debating whether or not to
move her old cook stove also, was offered
1000 shares of Iron Hill stock for it.
The stock was then thought to be worth
just about as much as the paper on
which it was printed. She took the offer,
has already been offered $1,000 for her
stock, is holding on for more money, and
the shares are still rising.

Rather Suspicious,

A man named Scott, who has been work
ing on q ranch near Roseville, was arrested
yesterday by Constable Jones, of that place,
on suspicion of grand larceny. It seems
that some days ago Scott complained ofthe
loss of a pistol knife and breastpin, and
the proprietor of the ranch ascertained
about the same time that he had been
robbed of $5S. The circumstances were re-
lated to Constable Jones, who made an in
vestigation and concluded that Scott might
have taken the money, and asserted that
he had also been robbed as a blind. Yes
terday morning Scott started for Sacra-
mento, and Jones and the proprietor of the
ranch followed him with team ,broughthim
to the city, and at the station-house, when
his valise was searched, the revolver and
pin alleged to have been stolen were found
in it. He also had about $14 in money.
The Constable took him back to Roseville
for examination.

Immigration Work.

Yesterday the Corresponding Secretary
DIR. H. Latham, of the Central and North
ern California Immigration Association
fled with the President, A. S. Hopkins,
his report for the past month. 1t reads as
follows;
Since your last meeting the matter OF ex-
cursions has assumed definite and practical
form. Arrangements have been made by
me with five companies, who are now
advertising cur section OF the State and
organizing excursions to come here.
The various railroad companies, the
Central Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande,
Union Pacific, Chicago, Burlington anu
Quincy, and Chicago and Wabash have at
least two excursion companies each now
at work.
| have communicated verbally with the
San Francisco agents of the other comfa-
MES which connect with the Union Paclfic
at Omaha, and urged the matter upon their
attention, and have received favorable re-
sponses from them. From the very nature
of things they will be compelled to enter
the work in self-defense. | feel confident
that we shall soon see from twelve 10
twenty of the companies advertising this
section of the State within six months.
The Southern Pacific Company seems to
have entered heartily into this work OF de-
veloping the resources of our half OF the
State and adding to our population.
They have re-established their immlgra-
ton agency in Chicago, and have placed
gentleman in charge who will send all the
Immigrants coming through his agency to
this Society.
l have arranged with Mr.. Goodman for
the placing of our pamphlets on incoming
trains free of expense. If you approve OF
this arrangement you can terminate the
contract with Mr.. Dennison at the end OF
this month, and thereby save $40 each
month. l have sent a,circular letter to all
real estate men in this part of the State, a
copy of which | inclose also, to the Presi-
dents of the old county associations of
much the same character. The fall travel
has set in in force, and there is active de-
mand for lands in small plats suitable for
fruit farming. By the incloSed statement
you will see the number of letters written,
pamphlets sent, and the number of people
who have called at the Office for informa-
ton:
Letters sent from September 30lh to Oc-
tober Goth, 81; packages of pamphlets sent

The Signal Service weather report at
o'clock last night showed foul weather
sunset from Tatoosh Island to Cape Mendo-
cino, light rain being precipitated at the
latter place. The barometer is falling
rapidly north of this State, and is also fall
ing along the entire Pacific slope, but not
so rapidly in California as in Oregon and
Washington Territory. This low barome-
ter is accompanied by variable winds,
mostly southerlv, and weather clear to fair
from Tatoosh Island to Portland, Oregon,
and cloudy from Roseburg, Oregon, to Red
Bluff, California, At Cape Mendocino a
southerly wind was travelling % miles per

fallen between Il NJ. and : P. N. yesterday.

A Hint for Travellers.

Now ana again complaint is made to the
railroad company of the theft of valises,
overcoats, etc, from passenger trains or the
depots, and on investigation the loss has
always been traceable to the lack of caution
manifested by the losers of the property.
Men and women go out of the cars or depot
leaving their baggage at the mercy of who
ever sees fit to take it, and the wonder is
that more is not stolen when it can be ap-
propriated 50 easily. A few days ago a man,
recently from Arizona, had been telling in
car OF bis having just sold certain prop
erty in that Territory for a considerable
sum, and when, shortly afterwards, oppor-
tunity offered to stesl his valise, the thief
doubtless thought he would find in it the
proceeds Of the sale of the Arizona prop
erty, but it contained only some dirty linen.
On another occasion a lady had her satchel
stolen. She had a short time before
wrapped up two bottles of medicine for her
baby, and placed them very carefully in
the satchel, which contained little else. It
is likely the individual who appropriated
it had noticed the care she exercised, and
surmised that she was putting away some
thing of great value. Railway officials en-
deavor to impress upon travellers the advis-
ability of looking after property but the
travelling public includes many very care
less people

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Local Wine and Brandy Interests.

The vine and grape-growers of the Saera-
mento district have had this season a good
market for their products. Three large
buyers, and producers of wines and bran
dies have had large quantity of grapes
offered to them from the grape growers,
and their wineries and distilleries have
been taxed to their fullest capacity. At
least 6,00e tons of grapes have been re-
ceived by them from Sacramento and points
of shipment near the city-Florin Elk
Grove, Folsom, Antelope, Roseville, Rock
lin, Pine and other places
The growers that have raised the fine va
rieties Of wine grapes for claret and white
wine have, on an average, realized from
their grapes $50 per ton, which, at the av-
erage yield of four tons 10 the acre from
vineyards of three to five years growth.
averages from $50 to 500 per acre. This
would seem to be largely in excess of the
value of grain grown on the same lands
that will produce grapes without irrigation.
California seems to be the favored spot of
the world for this interest. Central and
northern California can produce the fruits
OF France, Italy, Spain, South America,
and III TACT all the tropical regions of the
civilized world and in greater perfection.
Our raisins have to a very large extent

ton of the so-called fine cognacs-fnelv

mixed, perhaps, with some brandy from
the refuse of the grape crop.
We have in Sacramento to-day distil-
lery incorporated in 1871, that produces
brandy superior to any of the cognacs i'm
ported. We refer to the Johnston COM
pany This company has for the past six
years contracted for the entire products of
their distillery with Messrs. Walden g. Co.,
of Philadelphia. This year the distillery
was leased to them and Messrs. Beringer 4
Co., of st. Helena, who have run the distil-
lery to the full capacity, making nothing
but brandy. The product will probably
reach 10000 gallons for the season. James
l. Felter, who has been connected with the
company since its organization, has been
managing the distillery this season for the
lessees, and from him we learn tkat there is
new project on foot that will before next
vintage probably eliminate in one of the
largest wine and brandy establishments of
the State being located in Sacramento, or its
Immediate vicinity. Grape-growerss should
only put out the finest varieties of wine
grapes, and success is insured.

Our Rapid Transitory Existence

Brief as it is at the longest, is liable to be
materially curtailed by our own indiscre-
tons. The dyspeptic eat what they should
not, the bilious drink coffee in excess, and
the rheumatic, neuralgia and consumptive
sit in draughts, get wet and remain in
damp clothes, and then wonder when ill
how they became so. To persons with a
tendency to neuralgia, we recommend a
daily use of Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters,
and always a wineglassful after unavoid-
able exposure in damp or otherwise in
clement weather. Efficient protection is
afforded by this pleasant safeguard which
diffuses a genial glow through the system,
invigorates and tones it, and promotes
nerve tranquility Fever and ague, bilious
ness, constipation, dyspepsia and renal dis
orders are among the maladies which it
remedies and prevents.

Suit for Damages.

In Department Two of the Superior
Court Judge Van Fleet is hearing the case
of Martin Hayden VS.. the Sacramento and
Placerville Railroad Company, in which
plaintiff, by his guardian, John H. Hayden,
his son, brings suit for S25, 900 damages
July Is, 1885, plaintiff, who owns a hog
ranch and had been collecting swill with
his horse and wagon, started to cross the
railroad track at Twenty-sixth street, but
while he was doing so train came along
and struck the turnout, killing the horse
smashing the wagon, and causing Hayden
to be thrown from the vehicle in such a
manner that he alighted upon his head
and shoulders, and received such injury
that he has become of unsound mind, and
the Superior Court recently appointed his
son to act as his guardian. The complaint
alleges that the planks at the crossing of
the track were so rotten and worn, and the
crossing in such bad condition, that when
Hayden attempted to cross his wagon
wheels got caught, causing the horse
to stop, and before he could move on
the engine of the train, which had
not been seen approaching, as the bell was
not rung, was upon him. The defense deny
any responsibility for the accident, and at
tribute it to the plaintiffs carelessness
They expect to prove that the planks of the
crossing, and the crossing generally, were
in reasonably good condition that the bell
of the engine was ringing constantly as the
train approached; that there was no OBJ
stacle to prevent the train being seen sew
eral hundred yards. away by person about
to drive over the track; that Hayden drove
at deliberate gait up the incline while the
train was in plain sight and the bell ring
ing, the whistle also having been blown to
warn him; that the wagon did not get
stuck, and if stopped at all it was only for
a second, as the horse paused, recovering
from the work of climbing the incline, and
that the tram men could not prevent the
accident after the plaintiff had put himself
into such a perilous position. Taylor Il
Holl appear for the plaintiff, and S. C. Den
son for the defense. The jury is composed
of w. w. Wade, n. J. Brundage, John
Stevens, V. Strauch, e. j.. Clark, H. C.
Howard, John Davies, James McCaw, VIM.
Needhart, Fred. Biewener, James Parsons
