Some Statistics for Farmers.

The Philadelphia North american says
there are still persons who cherish the
delusion that the prices OF farm products
have either declined or not much i'm
proved while manufactured articles have
increased in cost. This delusion comes
partly from the almost universal belief
that the golden age was during our
grandfather's time, and partly from the
false statements in the doctrinaire prints

\ Colored Man Attempted Suicide
On Wednes lay evening a colored man
named Gibson, in the employ of Mr..
lsador Hoppe, attempted to commit su-
eide by hanging, but changed his mind
before he had accomplished his purp ,sc.
During the afternoon he went to the hay
barracks, and after adjusting the rope
bore his weight on it to test its strength
but the rope Tightening around his ueck
frightened him, and loosening the moose
hSreturned to the house and informed
Mrs. Hope what he had done. Gibson
is strict church member and a close
reader of the Bible, and has always con
Quoted himself well, but lately he has
become impressed with the idea that he
had committed an objectionable sin and
that he would be eternally lost. From
brooding over this he got into a chronic
state of melancholy, which caused Ina
to attempt his line. Gibson says ne is
satisfied now and will not try it again.

per cent. Rut the selling price of farm
products has increased all the way from
100 to 400 per cent. At the same time
the cost of most of the staples the far

50 per cent. Were We to compare the

In spite of the fact that the great ar
ray of local amateur talent at the cho-
rus concert lest night drew together
something like 5000 people at the taber-
nacle, the Hanlons had an excellent
house at the Grand Opera House to
witness the second performance of their
superb entertainment, "Fantasma. 1t
is most realistic representation of the
dreams of fairyland, in burlesque form
of comic, but still most witching in its
weird beauty and wonderful mechanical
effects The gallery was as wild with
delight as on the previous evening, and
even below stairs the most diguitied
matrons and staid men in the elegant
assembly laughed without lin at the
fun as it ran fast aud furious at the kill
ing of the bear or the tribulations of
the clown in the enchanted bedroom.
A good business for the whole week is
assured for this show, which richly de-
serves the success it everywhere meets.

Igaiiroad Notes.

No change in rates or fares was the re-
pert at all the railway offices yesterday.
There was a special freight north and
two south yesterday by the 5. z. lines.
The l.. A. h S. G. V. R'y are getting
out telegraph poles to stretch line
along their road.
The north bound train was two hours
behind hand yesterday. 1t is hard 10
make time with such big trains.
The north bound train yesterday
came in with one sleeper. She took
three out of here. All sections OF the
train were doubled up at this depot
The depot of the L. A. & s. G, V. Ry
will begin the reconstruction of their
station house to-day. 1t will be very
neat and substantial building.
1t does not look as if the Associated
Press dispatches as to the end OF the rail
way war were correct as matters are
viewed from this end of the lines.

night at 9;l0, reached the city yesterday

freight ears, and the company are send
ing out long strings in all directions, Q
half dozen trains each day. The pas
senger movement does not slack off any
yet.
The Q. s. Ry. reports an enormous
movement OF passengers into California
over their lines. Eight and ten loaded
cars each day is by no means an excep
ton to the rule. They are for the most
part well-to do people who are coming
The l.. A. & S. G.. V. R'y is driving
piles below the Downey avenue bridge
Two.inch planks are nailed on the inside
OF the piles and an embankment of clay
and stones is put against this. 1t is 8
strong bulwark. The company will
carry the work on down to First street
and it will be great protection to the
property along the river.

The Labor and the BOycott
Question.

The boycott and labor questions are
now attracting profound attention and
require the most careful consideration.
The HERALD is fortunate in securing
three articles from Hon. K. NJ. Widney
on these important questions, one of
which will appear tomorrow. 1t is
needless to say tha' they are written in
the most careful manner and the propo-
sitions contained therein will meet the
appreciation of all enlightened and
patriotic citizens. The subjects of the
articles will be:
First-Boycotting, as a national, social
and individual force, as it appears in
nstory.
Seeond-The American Laborer, his
friends and his enemies.
Third-The practical application OF
boycotting to the labor question.

Milton and Yosemite Stage Coach Com
pany, may be found in another column.
Tho ticket agent for Los Angeles is Mr..
II. Mcclellan, No. s Commercial street.
The advantages of this route are summed
up in the prospectus of the company as
follows,s
First--It has nineteen milesloss stage
ing, which being the greater pnrt
through gravelly formation, has much
less dust than any other route.
Second-Because the railroad takes
you over the most objectionable part OF
the trip, i. e., the low, uninteresting
country from the main line Of the rail-
road to the foothills Of the mountains;
thus saving the intense heat aud dust Of
other routes, which traverse a cor
respondingly uninteresting country in a
stage coach; while on the Milton, and
the only one, you pass rapidly to the
foothills over railroad, and miss the
heat and dust.

that gives you any idea of gold mining,
passing as you do directly through the
historical gold fields, where can be seen
the modus operandi of extracting the
precious metal from the earth in all its
phazes, viz, quartz, hydraulic, and the
primitive sluice mining. Your way
passes directly through deserted towns,
that have teemed with life dur
ing the mining days; and little further
ON the coach enters and continues
through dense forests and splendid
wooded gorges, over a smooth turnpike
road, shady, with glorious views OF the
higher mountains at almost every turn
ing. OF the hotels en- route too much
cannot be said, not only of the excellence
of their cuisine, neat, cleanly rooms,
and excellent beds, always acceptable
when night aud meal-times arrive, but
doubly so on trip of this kind, wheu
their quality can be fully appreciated,
and at the most reasonable of charges.
Riding in ,mfortable conveyance,
drawn by Fix good horses, changed for
fresh ones every ten or twelve miles,
driven by careful and experienced
drivers, conduces much TO make such a
trip one of pleasure and and profit.
