DURING the absence of Gen. John c.
Black in California, the Pension Office has
been under the charge Of Col. VIM. E. Mo
Lean, the First Deputy Commissioner, and
the manner in which he has discharged his
duties has been creditable in the highest
degree. He is gentleman Of fne executive
ability. has made himself thoroughly init

Now it is the Mexican soldiers who have
let Geronimo slip through their fingers.
The best way to get rid of that human coy
ote is to set a price on his head, as Gov.
Crittenden did on the James brothers, and
bride some lesser villain to kill him. The
only mistake about Crittenden's method
was that it was not thorough enough. Ii
Frank James had been killed at the same

GEN. BLACK IN REDWOOD FOREST. CAL.

OEN. Bi.aCh IN hEDWOOD fOhf-STp CAL.
During the stay of the Encampment in
San Francisco several excursions were en-
joyed. One of the finest and happiest was
that of Tuesday, Aug. 10, to the Redwood
Forest. 1t was in compliment to Hon. J. c.
Black, Commissioner of Pensions, and his
friends. The excursion was under the per-
sonal direction of Col. James M. Donahue,
the President of the San Francisco & North
Pacific Railroad. He was assisted by Thomas
Wills, Travelling Agent; Chas. T. Davies,
United States Special Agent of the Interior
Department, Washington, d. c., and VIM.
Callahan. Maj. George A. Arms, who figured
largely in the origin and planning of the
trip, was unable to be present. Among the
guests were Commissioner Black, wife,
daughter and son; G. G. Royce and wife, of
Troy, o.; Col. Allen and SON, of Kalamazoo;
Capt. Geo. E. Lemon, of Washington, d. c.;
Gen. Horatio C. King, Gen. Mcmahon, Pres
ident of the Society of the Army of the Po-
tomac Mrs. Col. Donahue, Mrs. d. C. Gala
han, Miss Tyrrell, Mrs. Col. r. III. Warfield,
Rev. j. s. Lemon, Gardner. Mass, and about
IS MOdOcs (singers), from Topeka, Kan. The
company left San Francisco by steamer for
Tiburon, about ten miles, thence by rail 60
miles to Guernerville, passing through DON
ahue, Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Fulton. Pc
taluma is city of about 5000 population.
Santa Rosa is the County-seat of Sonoma,
and has 1000 inhabitants. Guerneryille is a
place of about 500 people. Every place
greeted the train and bore welcome symbols
of the GAR. From the depot the company
were conveyed by carriage to the spot
in the woods where they were to witness
the cutting down Of one of the monster
trees. 1t was q scene never to be- forgotten
Shortly after arriving tree was to yield
to AK, saw and wedge. The crash of the
fall was terrific, akin to an earthquake,
and the dust rolled up like clouds preceding
storm. There were about 500 acres of red
wood timber. Some of the trees are enor-
NOUS. The one felled during the visit was
$50 feet long, 8 feet in diameter-about so
feet in circumference. Fifty-four persons
stood at one time on the stump. After wit
Messing the falling of the tree the company
rode on for about two miles into the very
midst of the forest. Reaching q delightful
spring, it halted for sort of picnic. Refresh
ments were served to a company usthungry
enough to enjoy to tho fullest the choicest
visnds. In an hour the company were on
way for the depot, and reached San Fran
cisco at p. m. All felt indebted to Col.
Donahue for his courtesies. Less than 80
years of age, he is several times over mil
lionaire and one of the most stirring bust
ness men on the Pacific coast. The GAR.

men did not have time reload their carbines. but
were using them as clubs to ward OFF the saber

Just then the rest of the rebel cavalry
came up and took the job of whipping Gus

Nothing gives better evidence Of r. f.

Col. Morgan and his regiment to cover the
retreat of his defeated army. We have also
a satisfactory explanation of Meade's eau
tious pursuit. He found out that Col. Nor

the Army of the Potomac would be destroyed

ART or USING PERFUME.

There are few ladies who resist
the pleasure of using perfumes, and
if they are not used in too great
quantities, they are not objection
able. 1t is good plan to use only
one kind of perfume, such as violet,
heliotrope, rose geranlum, etc. In
stead of saturating the handker-
chief, use them in the shape of
sachet powders. Put them on cot
ton in small bags of muslin, silk, or
satin, and strew them in every part
of the bureau and wardrobe, so that
delicate, fresh, almost nameless
perfume pervades every article Of
dress from the hat to the boots.
Sachets filled with powdered orris
root will give sweet, wholesome
odor that never becomes so strong
as to be disagreeable. The use of too
strong extracts of perfumery is not
considered in good taste.- Farmers

BARON KAULBARs' ANTEcEDENTs.

Gen. Baron Kaulbars, according
to the Kreuz-Zeitung, is descended
from q noble family of Esthonia,
whose ancestral seat is called Mod
ders. He is between forty and fifty
years of age, and is considered one
of the most capable officers of the
general staff. In 1873 he accompa-
MED an Austrian army corps on it's
campaign in Bosnia and Herzego-
vina, and afterward was sent on a
diplomatic mission to Montenegro.
During the campaign of Prince
Alexander against Servia, Kaulbars
had long interview with the Prince
at Prot prior to the conclusion of
the armistice, and he subsequently
presided over the international Mil
itary Commission which decided on
the line of demarcation between
Servia and Bulgaria. Up to recent
ly Kaulbars' official mission was
that of military agent" at Vienna.
His brother wasat one time Bulga-
rian Minister of War, but he quar-
relied with the Prince, and was
forced to resign.

RAISIN-MAKlNc IN SMYRNA.

The grapes for the red raisins of
Smyrna are grown on the peninsula
of Carabournou (between the Gulf
of Smyrna and the Strait of Kluos)
and the neighboring districts of
Vourlah, Chesmeh and Yerli. Be-
ginning with those from Carabour-
nou, which are the best, the quality
becomes poorer in the order that the
districts have been named. From
each of these localities come two
varieties of raisin, the Eleme and
the Sultana, the former being large,
white and sweet; the latter small
and seedless. The Yerlis are first
in market, small and shriveled and
to be consumed quickly then the
Chesmehs and Vourlahs; and finally
the Carabournous, which are plump
and rich and will last twelve
month. Of these last the best go to
America and England, though the
greater part is shipped direct to
Australia. For the other districts
the market is found chiefly in Ger
many and ON the Continent. Taking
the years between 1879 and 1885,
the supply of Eleme raisins varied
between $4,000 and 10000 tons
yearly; that of the Sultana between
5000 and $4,000 tons.
The grapes having been picked
from the vines and dipped in week
solution of potash to prevent rot,
are spread upon ground carefully
swept, and then exposed to the sun
from four days to week, being
frequently turned in the interval.
When sufficiently sun-cured, they
are stripped from their stems, packed
in large camel s-hair bags, and
shipped in caiques to Smyrna. Re-
ceived from the brokers by the
| packers, they are submitted to a
treatment which is rapid and far
from attractive. In long and
lofty room the bags are emptied ;
brawny men, barefooted and untidy,
break up with wooden shovels the
clinging masses, and with whirl
spread the raisins over long eX-
tent of floor. AS bag after bag is
emptied, and the pile mounts high
up toward the ceiling, walls are
made about it of empty boxes. To
prevent floor and shovels clogging
with the adhesive fruit, boys dip
dirty brooms into still dirtier water,
and keep up a constant sprinkling
One loses ones taste for raisins, and
mentally resolves to indulge no more
in plum-puddings; still it is inter
esting to watch this enormous mass
growing larger and larger. An agent
frequently compares the quality Of
what is coming in with that of c
sample he carries on box cover
If one bag or dozen are rejected
they are taken out without question,
the inspector simply accepts or re-
jects. The number of tons neces
sary to fill this order are at last be-
fore you, and as the business Of
packing progresses, your previou:
resolutions are hardened. The cases
WHICH may vary in size from tel
pounds to one hundred, are spreat
closely together along the floor mex
the mountain of fruit. Certain mel
shovel them full, and certain Others
in bare feet walk over them ant
tread them down; shovelling ant
treading continue until the boxe
will hold no more, when they ar
replaced by others to be treated il
like manner. The covers are malice
on, the marks are stenciled, and il
q few hours the whole consignment
is in the hold of a steamer.-[ Har

1t has leaked out that there is a most
wonderful free gold country south of
Cadiz, ON the A, h 2, Railroad, 100
miles east Of here. Colonel Haskell
purchased couple OF claims for SIC, 600
and with an expenditure of $1,000 In the
last five months, has sold for cool
$50, 900. Colonel Haskell says there is
enough Sl4 ore in signt to run 10
stamp mill for five years, without fur.
ther developments.
Constable John Medlin has q couple
of men at work in his gold mine, near
Old Woman's Spring, about forty miles
southeast af Daggett. The ledge is
about fourteen inches wide and the rock
taken from it is Of high grade. The
surface Indications are as good as could
be wished. II 10 hoped that John has
struck a bonanza. There is another good
prospect In that vicinity on which u 100.
foot shaft has been sunk.
Five Points mining district continues
to show up excellently well. Jim elaine
and Five Points have between them %
tons OF ore out of I5.foot prospect shafts
that will swell to 60 per cent lead and

day will make their owners a good divi-
dend property.
Mr.. Perkins and Billy Sullivan will
keep their ten men at work during Jan-
uary and February. They will sink for
