The California Press on the Ticket.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26-Comment.
ing editorially ON The action Of the Re-
publican Convention the Chronicle Re-
publicsn) saws General Harrison has
been selected as the Republican candf-
date, not by the State of California, but
by the great Republican party. He now
stands as the chosen representative Of
the principles of Republicsnism, and no.
table of that grand principle, protec-
ton"
The Alta Democratic says There
Is present portentious and actual danger
in supporting Harrison in this State.
The Republicans OF this State have be-
fore them an opportunity TO show that
their anti Chinese zeal has not been
pretense. If they wish TO save their
party In California from absolute de-
struction let them reject Harrison aud
refuse to put an electoral ticket in the
field"
The Post (Republican) says Harrison
was not the first choice OF the voters &
California. Gresham or Alger represent
the attitude of the coast far more closely
Than Harrison, and especially on the hi.
nese question, and California would
have been far better satisfied had either
of these men been chosen"

TuE kAISER'S SPEECH.
How II was Received In Europe.


PARIS, June 26.-The various Paris
journals regard the speech OF Emperor
William as forcibe, but they all dwell
upon the passage in the speech respect
ing Germany's relations with Russia,
and refer to the absence OF any mention
Of France. The papers infer from the
speech that nothing will be changed In
Europe. where Prince Bismarck remains
the arbiter of peace.
VIENNA, June 26.-The Fremdenbian

ST.. PETERSBURG, June 26-Ihe Nosoe
Vermya, commenting upon Emperor Will
iam's speech, says 1T Is an evident
protest against the charge of bellicose
chauyinism that has been made against
the Emperor and shows desire to main
ain the best relations with Russia We
believe it to be possible upon this basis to

Feeding Cows in Finland.

To any one who could be satisfied
with an unvarying diet of fish and
black bread, accompanied by the best
cream and butter that can be found
anywhere, it would be easy to satisfy
his wants in any part of the country.
How the cream and butter come to be
so good is mystery to me, for as
suredly the Finnish cows are the worst
and most scantily fed of their kind.
What other cow that respected herself
would be satisfied with hay soup in
which the water formed SO unfair
proportion to the hayp The most
meager-looking hay, mixed with the
dried branches of alder, SINNERS in
huge iron pot, and one sees the poor
beasts dipping their noses into the un-
savory broth and fishing out its sod
dened contents with the evident relish
of hunger. 1t was complained to me
by a resident of the country that cows
could not be induced to look upon saw
dust as the staple of their food. How
far he had seriously made the trial
do not know, but should he ever sue
coed, there will be rich prospect for
Finland in dairy farming. Marray's

PITH AND POINT.

Success secures the appreciation OF
the world, for, as the wise man says,
MEN will praise thee when thou doest
well for thyself."
If you would find great many
faults, be on the lookout If you would
find them in still greater abundance,
be on the look-in,
Laughter and tears are meant to

other water-power.

GARNETs OF ALASKA.

Beautiful and Ornamental Curiosities
Found at FIT. Wrangell.
The extensive garnet lodges at Fort
Wrangell are an inexhaustible source
of beautiful and ornamental curiosi-
ties. The cropping of the ledge is
about ten feet wide, standing perpen-
dicularly and running northeast and
southwest several miles in length; the
depth of it no man has ever found out.
The rock is of mica slate formation,
and contains from two to four dozen
garnets to the cubic foot. The gems
are regular polygons, beautiful in color,
dashing and brilliant luster; but
when exposed for a time they
become dull and opaque. The
crystal varies in dimensions from the
size of a pea to that of a hens egg,
and to the novice are quite fascinating
and have the appearance of much value
for ornamental and other purposes.
The lapidaries, however, have failed
to utilize them for any purpose
whatever, except as curio and to
demonstrate the certainty of the
unerring law of nature which governs
every phenomenon. Every plane of
the polygon is of the same form,
every angle of the same degree,
and every gem is the equal and
like of its fellow. The mining and
shipment of the rock has become quite
a business. 1t is worth $50 per ton ON
the wharf at Fort Wrangell, and is
shipped to all parts of the country to
fill the cabinets of the wealthy and the
collections in public institutions
