Transportation and Markets.

Cheap and rapid transportation is OF the ut
most importance to those who are both producers
and consumers. 1t eheapens all that he buys
and enhances the price of all he produces. The
~"LANGFoRD COLONY" is most advantage
ously situated in this respect. It is between two
railroads that both connect with steamboats,
that run from the Sacramento and San Joaquin
points to the Golden Gate. This givesth The cheap
est freight and passenger rates for the distance
on this Coast. The markets for all kinds of pro-
ducts are good. The Canneries, Wineries and
Fruit Dealers take all the Fruit raised, at highly
remunerative prices. There is an unlimited
demand for all the Wine, Raisins, Figs, Prunes,
Green, Dried aud Canned Fruits that can be
grown. Dairy Products, Fowls, Eggs and Vege-
tables find a ready sale. Every acre of this land
when in bearing Fruit Trees or Vines viii net
800 per acre. For further particulars apply 10

All About a Woman.

MARYsvILLE, October 11th.-A shooting
affray, in which Joseph Voss, a blacksmith,
and Emerson Gilmore, a bartender al the
Eagle Saloon, on Third street, were the
participants, occurred here last night. A
woman is said to be at the bottom of the
trouble. Voss went to the saloon at :
o'clock, and invited Elmore out to settle
the matter. The latter accepted the chal-
lenge, and began firing as soon as he got
on the sidewalk. Three shots from a 49,
caliber pistol were fired. One took effect in
Foss' groin, penetrating three inches. An
other struck him in the back, but only
vent through the clothing to the skin.
The third did not hit. The bullets were
too small for the pistol, allowing the gas to
escape past them, hence their lack of pene-
trating power. The bullet in the groin
was extracted. Gilmore is locked up await
ing the result of the wound.

| General Miles camp with the information
hat the r~enegades were short of food,
| clothing and ammunition that they were
| f~ootsore and nearly exhausted from long
marches. and could not hold out much
longer. General Miles ordered Lieutenant
Gatewood, who knew Geronimo and
| Natchez we'll and who spoke the Apache
language, to take a guard of two men, OBJ
| tain a parley. If possible, with Geronimo,
and see if he would surrender.
IN THE APACHE CAMP.
This mission Lieutenant Gatewood ac-
complished successfully. He informed &C.
ropimo. in answer TO the chiefs question,
that he had no authority to offer him terms
of surrender. Geronimo then asked to be
taken 10 Captain Lawton, who was in the
immediate neighborhood. This was done,
and on repeating the question put to Lieu
tenant Lakewood, Captain Lawton told him
that he could make no terms, and that he
must surrender. Geronimo then wanted

First the frog is Matched into polliwig
commonly called tadpole When it comes to
that how many of us ever know, without
looking into the dictionary, that tho correct
spelling and pronunciation are found in the
word "polliwig~ Again how long does it
take the little tadpole to push out its legs
slough off its tail and develop into full
grown believing bullfrog that keeps people
awake nightsf
Well, generally it requires two years to pro-
duce the full sized batrachian. It is Matched
from the egg in the warm days of spring. If
food is abundant, and it must be very abund-
INT, and if the weather is warm and water is
very plentiful, and SO on, the little polliwig
will develop into a frog before the winter.
But, generally, it is not till the second sum-
mer that it can slough off its degrading eau
dial appendage and rise to the full dignity of
a creature without tail In Canada it al
vayS requires two years.
The illustration shows how the frog snaps
up BEETLE with his long, lightning tongue.
The bull frog is a most ravenous eater. He
is carnivorous, eating every living creature
that he can get outside of. Bugs, mice
BIRDS spiders, snakes, and small turtles and
grasshoppers and crawfish are alike fish tc
his net. He is not particular, but he is
awfully hungry most of the time. Good
sized pebbles have been found in his stomach
These frogs have been known to even gobble
up young ducks. But on the other hand
young ducks also gobble up the frogs wher
they get the chance, so honors are easy. The
tadpole Of the bullfrog is large and strong
and grayish green in color. In winter tn,
old frog ceases to sing and buries himself il
the mud. But polliwigs in brooks and pool
are common enough Throughout the colo
weather.
This frog is the one that is eaten. Only
the hind legs are used for this purpose, anC
they are great delicacy, tasting more dainty
than the finest game birds In South Caro-
lima the bull frog grows sometimes to b
twenty-one inches long. It is caught TO
market either by shooting or by batting
hook with piece of red flannel or with al
insect of some sort. The creature is so vora
cious that it snaps at everything it sees, ant
therein lies its destruction.
The anatomical structure of the frog bear
to that of human being weird resemblanc
that is startling. In swimming the motion
1 of the two are identical. This queer Likeness
suggests strange kinships.

How Stocks" Originated.

The name "Stocks" given to in
vestments of money comes from a
very curious custom. In old times,
when money was lent to the Exche-
quer, the officials took a long rod and
cut notches on it, a notch of a certain
sizerepresenting thousand pounds,
smaller one hundred pounds, and
SO on down to a mere scratch which
stood for farthing. The rod was
then split down the middle, the Ex-
chequer keeping one half, and the
lender7-the stockholde, as we now
say the other. When the money
was repaid, the two halves were put
together to see if they tailed. Hence,
also, these rods or stocks were called
"Exchequer tallies." In the Ash.
mclean Museum at Oxford may still
be seen some of these rods, with
.notches representing about thirty
thousand pounds. This rude system
survived till 1882.
