Rules BY which a Poet Works.

Bear in mind some of the technical rules by
which Browning works. He uses the smallest
number of words which his meaning allows,
is sparing of adjectives, uses the largest rela-
tive number of Saxon words, uses monosylla-
bles wherever possible, treats consonants as
the backbone of the language, and hence a.
the essential feature of rhyme; uses the
measure most appropriate to his subject, tax
ing no liberties with unusual measure, and
eschews all vulgarisms or inaccuracies which
custom has sanctioned, both in prose and
verse, such as Il had better" or had rather

The Storm at San Diego.

SAN DIEGO, January ls.-It has rained
here since January 10Th, with only one
day of intermission. Last evening more
than an inch fell in two hours, between
6 to s. The heavy rain last night has
caused some damage in the washing out
of gardens and orchards, and has carried
away the bridges on some of the roads
leading out of town. The San Diego,
Sweetwater and Tiajuna rivers are high,
aud stages leaving town this morning
we're unable to cross and returned. The
California Southern Railroad is all clear
through to Waterman, with the excep-
tion OF small washout just outside { {
town, which occurred last evening. The
outgoing overland train. which should
have left here at 1890 last night is de.
tanned by this break, as is also the over
land, which arrived on time at the other
side Of the break. The track will be all
right this afternoon.

erence to the effects ON the California
orange market and Of the injury to the
Florida orange crop, prominent dealer
said; The effects Of the destruction OF
oranges in Florida by the severe cold are
already peroeptible. There has, as yet,
been no increase in prices, but there is
every Indication OF such occurrence.
That prices have not yet been raised is
because the crop Is not yet under way
The effects are these: Several OF the
large firms here are in active correspon-
dence with Eastern houses. which
are asking for large consignments,
Orange growers have a knowledge
al the existence OF this fact, and are
disposed TO hold on to their crops and
await further news from Florida, as re-

will cause California oranges to be in

and will give renewed activity to the
industry. A gentleman who has just

and who deals extensively m oranges,
stated that the orange crop for 1856 will
not exceed that of last year. lie made
accurate calculations iu Los Angeles, San
Diego and Santa Barbara counties. He
found that the trees are not bearing M
much this year as last, but that the de
lio.ency is made up by the fact that
numbers OF the trees that bore no fruit
last year will have good fruit this year.
Everywhere in Southern California the
fruit is remarkably fine. The crop is
expected TO realize 500, 900 boxes.
