Republican Meeting.

Hon John f. Swift addressed a large
audience of Republicans and Demo.
Gratis, with fair proportion of ladies,
at Wears opera house Thursday night.
He spent the day here, having arrived
at late hour the previous evening, and
made himself fairly well acquainted with
the public questions uppermost in the
minds of our citizens. He had found
the work of the campaign more arduous
than he had anticipated, AMI complained
of fatigue. As the result of his investi'
CATION into tue state of the pablic mind
here he made a defense OF himself and
the Chinese and irrigation questions the
subjects ef his speech. He is on the
whole, without much clai n to oratorical
ability, a rather attractive speaker, and
interested his audience. But he said
nothing new; he threw no new light on
the Chinese question, and on that of ir-
rigation, while he had much to say, he
only succeeded in making apparent that
he knew little or nothing about it, and
befogged, rather than impaired knowl-
edge to the minds of his hearers. He is
undoubtedly an able man, endowed with
gifts of llausibility and versatility in a
high degree. If necessary to serve his
purposes he can be all things to all men.
These are no doubt valuable, if not nec-
essaiy, gifts to the modern statesman,

character of Mr.. Swift furnishes an ex'
ception to this general truth, and we be-
lieve he so impressed those with whom
he conversed while here, and especially
those who listened to his speech. Kern

Importan, to Poultrymen.

The New \ 0rk weekly ITtouHe says
A man had watched a setting of choice
eggs with much solicitude till the 23d
day of incubation, and still there was NO
sign of their Matching. Seeking advice
at this stage, he was told to put them
into pan of warm water and leave
them till they began to dance, and then
return them to the nest. Five hours
afterwards he came with the joyful
.idings that every egg had hatched. He
said the moment they touched the wa
ter they danced like puppets. The
lining OF the shells had become so dry
and tough that but for the wetting not
one of the chicks would have been able
to break the shell. Eggs in that condi-
tion absorb the necessary moisture al.
most instantaneously, though they will
not suffer injury from remaining in the
water several minutes. Care should be
taken to return the hen to the uest with
the eggs to prevent the too rapid cooling
from atmospheric exposure and evap-
Grafton. Sprinkling eggs in the nest
during incubation is often recommended,
but it is immeasurably better to thor
oughly wet them by dipping. My prac-
tice for several years has been to wet all
the eggs about the nineteenth or twen-
tieth day. Ii the hen be taken from
the nest SO that the eggs are in full heat,
which is much better than to take the
eggs after the hen has gone off and they
have become partially cooled, the water
should be at temperature OF 100 +.
If they are cooled the water should

around to the opposite side of the de-

in hopes to get rid Of him. After de-
ley of few moments the train started
away from the depot, and Immediately
after it had passed man was noticed
lying in the middle Of the road. between
the tracks, groaning and squirming
about apparently in dying condition.
He was approached by those who saw
him, when it was found he was the same

from the last car. He was carefully
picked up and everything done for his
comfort, under the impression that he
had but little time to live. However,
after a short time, the drunken man,
much to the astonishment of all present,
got up on his feet and staggered off into
the sagebrusb, after soundly berating
those who had been so solic itous in his
behalf. 1t is most extraordinary that
the man lived after the experience he
went through, and this case is one of
the most wonderful on record, showing

sad suicide of an Old II Resident Of
santa Ana.

The assemblage at Valley Center
camp. meeting was ,tartled and horrified
on Saturday, September 4th, a little af'
ter noon, by the news that Mr.. w. b.
Parish had been found dead. He was
not on hand to receive his daughter,
Miss Mollie Parish, who arrived at the
campgrcund by stage about 8 o'clock,
but it was supposed that he was attend
ing meeting of church officials at the
parsonage. When that meeting ad.
iourned and the members returned to
the campground, his absence was imme'
diately noticed, and search was begun.
The house lies just opposite the camp.
ground, and in a few minutes he was
found lying in an open space in the
brush with a ghastly wound in his head, /,
his hands clasping his double. .barrelled
gun, on , barrel of which had been dis.
charged. He was Immediately covered
and left till the arrival of the coroner
and doctors. On the arrival of the cor
oner jury was Immediately summoned
and the inquest held.
The deceased was native of North
Carolina, and about Sc years of age;
was last seen about 7:30 O'Clock in the
morning; he passed young man with
his gun in his hand, remarking that he
was going ont to hunt rabbits. As the
young man left the house short time
after he heard a gun fired, but paid no
attention. From the position of the
body and surroundings it was seen tn 1t
he had coolly divested himself of his
hat, vest and outside shirt, and laid
them carefully on the bushes; he then
closed his eyes, held the gun to his
head, and was instantly killed. The
inquest showed that he had been no.
ticed to be failing in mind for several
months, but so gradually that only those
most intimately acquainted with him
were aware of the fact. This was con.
firmed by the examining doctors, who
stated that part of the brain and spinal
cord was decidedly soft. The jury
brought in verdict OF suicide under
the influence Of temporary insanity.
The funeral took place Sunday after
noon, and many sad faces, especially
among the children Of the Sunday
school, of which he was uperintendent
were seen.
The following note was found on the
table:
"My life is a failure. My mistakes
and neglect have killed me. Take care
of Mollie if she gets through all right.

Incendiary FIRE at Rivcrside.

Last evening about s o'clock the cry
of "fre!'' broke the quiet existing in the
neighborhood of the Enterprise office,
and the citizens of our city responded
with alacrity to the call, and what is
worthy of particular note and commen-
dation is the fact that our young men
went to work with the order and precis-
ion almost of trained firemen. The fire
was found to be in room occupied by
Mr.. Johns and family over the rooms of
the Y. NJ. G. A., and was caused, we
understand, by the explosion of coal
oil lamp. The circumstances under
which it originated are somewhat pecu.
liar as Mr.. Johns and family were at
church at the time and had extinguished
their lamp before going, and on their re.
turn some spoons were found in the
room not theirs nor there when they
left home. The structure being of wood
an extensive fire was at one time feared,
but owing to the promptness and eff
cheney OF our bucket brigade the flames
were confined to the one room. and ex-
tingushed with but small loss.-Enter-

The Most Dcnseiy Populated.

The Island of Barbados is the most
densely populated part of the earth.
This island with an area of 1861
acres, contains population of over
l75, 900 souls; that is to say, an average
of no less than 1854 people to each of
its 166 square miles Of territory. The
Chinese province of Keang.su, which
was at one time ignorantly imagined to
be the most uncomfortably crowded dis.
trict under the sun, contains but $50
moon-eyed Celestials to the square mile;
while East Plandert, in Belgium, the
most thickly populated neighborhood in
Europe, can boast of only 705 inhabit.
ants to the square mile. Coming nearer
home, Westchester county, New York,
with territory three times as large, has
only four-sevenths as many people as are
packed upon this thronged, man.ridden
Caribbee island. If the Empire State
were as thickly settled as Barbados it
would boast q population of $4,000, 600.
OF the It's 600 souls in the island 8 per
cent. are whites and 81 per cent. are
blacks, or mixed bloods.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-10-05

This estimate, we believe, is consid.
erably under the exact figures of the
vintage, but assuming the estimate
to be correct, it will require 7l5 cars to
move the crop to market.
In addition to wine the vineyards will
also produce about 5,c00 gallons OF
brandy this season.
As type OF thorough vineyard and
winery the reporter called at the Barton
Vineyard, and was kindly shown about
the vineyard by the proprietor, Colonel
Robert Barton. The first planting in
this vineyard was done in the win
ter Of IS79-50 at which some 800 acres
Of vines were planted, and since then
the acreage has been gradually in
creased until today it embraces aboui
$40 acres Of vines-all Of which are IN
bearing, the vineyard will not be in full
ayeTsgg bearing before 1890. Still, the
product of the vineyard this season will
be something wonderful. amounting te
2j00 tons, of which amount 2400 tons
are wine and 100 tons raisin grapes,
giving an estimated product of 1850, ,000
gallons wine, and 10000 pounds raisins,
or say $50 carloads Of wine, and three
carloads Of raisins.
The older vines are producing this
year an average of over eight tons per
acre. and the total yield has far exceeded
the most liberal estimates, much to the
qualification of the owner, though he
has, in consequence, been compelled to
increase his cooperage some $4,000
gallons to afford storage.
When this vineyard, four years hence,
shall be in full bearing, it seems to be
an established fact that the vintage will
exceed 400 tons of grapes, or 600, ,00C
gallons OF wine.

Got BADLY Left.

An amusing incident occurred on
board the south-bound Southern Pacific
express train one day last week. while
the train was passing Lancaster, which
demonstrates the liability of even those
persons considered to be most "fy" in
matters general, to "get left," some
times. On the train in question was q
jolly set of travellers, gentlemen who
knew how to take the world easy and
take advantage of the situation on every
occasion. Among the lot could be named
that well-known San Francisco gentle
man, who is somewhat known in the
political circle of the metropolis, Mr..
Alex. Badlam, and our genial. happy
dispositioned and polished Cotton lion,
Col. A. B. Hotchkiss. The Colonel,
with his light-blue eyes, slightly forid
complexion, flowing blonde side-whisk-
ers, distingue air and general travelled
md somewhat foreign appearance, i'm.
pressed the gallant Badlam, who is
known as boss among the boss prevari-
Gators of this coast, as being snitable
globe-trotter, an English lord out for an
airing, and forthwith Alex concluded to
do little ''stuffing."
The Colonel, who, by the way, is the
fortunate possessor of O couple of Sec
tions of splendid, rich land near the sta.
tion of Lancaster, let the bars down by
remarking that the soil in that neighbor-
hood seemed peculiarly adapted for the
cultivation Of The grape. and in suggest.
ing the idea that it would be a paying
investment were syndicate formed for
putting water on the land and setting
ont vineyards.
BadIam took quick glance at Hotch.
kiss md thought he had run across one
Of the English Company which had late.
" invested in that neghborhood.
''Ob. no, my friend, says Badlam,
'you gould not raise grapes on this soil,
the slnd is so deep and porous that all
fhe water you would put on it would be
like pouring it through o sieve" But,
said he, continuing, "I'll tell you how
the thing could be done, and made to
psy too" The Colonel, finding himself
unknown to Badlam, and in order to give
him full swing, innocently and eagerly
asked him to explain.
"Why," said Badlam, "don't you see
what thick and immense growth of
yucca palms there are here. The way to
take advantage of the sandy soil is to cut
down palm tree close to the ground,
make hole in the stump, stick in your
grape vine roots, and the thing is done.
The vines will grow and flourish most
luxuriantly and produce the most delici-
GUS grapes inside of year. Why, said
Alex. growing enthusiastic, "the best
and most luscious grapes have tasted
this year were grown on vines planted
in yucca stumps, which came from a
friends ranch who has several hundred
acres of vineyard planted that way"
After telling this whopping big lie, Bad
lam turned around and walked into the
s'sIeeper," feeling well satisfied with
himself for go completely stufing tone

The uail Nuisance.

There seems to be very decided
sentiment among our fruit growers in
favor of change in our game laws as
regards the shooting of quail. When
as many as 700 quails are killed on one
2O.acre lot in few weeks one gets
some idea Of the extent of their raw.
ages. Ono of our most prominent fruit
men suggests that shooting be freely al.
lowed within mile of orchards or vine
yards. 1t seems rough not to allow q
man to protect his property, and while
it is much to be desired to attract sport
ing men here, it is more important to
attract farmers. s.-Ontario Record.
