Keene Is now about 48 years OF age, SO
that he Is still young enough to attempt
the establishment of his fortunes IL
fate affords him any opportunities at all
for catching on. He was born in Eng
land, but spent the es.iy part of his life
on the Pacific coast. During the '60s he
was a small Spectator in San Francisco,
and never met with any considerable sue
cess. A curious story Is told about the
beginning Of his fortunes. His career
had been SO harassing and marked by SO
many disappointments that his health was
completely broken down. and his physi-
clan told hin that he must abandon all
further work n take a long trip abroad.
Just before his departure, and purely by
accident, he invested in a few hundred
shares of mining stock which was then
selling at a very low figure. So unim-
portant did the Investment seem to him
that during the year of his absence he
never once thought of It, and was very
much surprised on bis return home to
find that the mine had turned out to be n
bonanza, and the few hundred dollars
worth of stock which he had purchased
had advanced SO in price that it was now
worth over $500, 600. d.
With this comparatively ample fortune
to operate on, Mr.. Keene jumped into the
San Francisco market and operated with
boldness and success. He soon became a
millionaire. And when he came on here
to New York in 1877, prior to another
trip to Europe, his name was perfectly
familiar In Wall street. What Keene
saw OF Wall street at this time attracted
him to such an extent that he determined
to change the base of his operations, and
1t was shortly after this that his opera
tions in company with Jay Gould com-
manded the attention Of Wall street men.
These early operations were all success
full, and at the end of two or three years
Keene was looked upon as the coming

snow. 1t seems as if it had all come
in one day. Activity is at white
heat, too, planting new trees. In all
the towns farmers wagons pass in
dozens, each filed with young trees,
going out to the orchard rows where
the soil is alread, prepared for them.
1t is an ungracious task, and most
unpleasant one, to turn ones mind
from the contemplation of such pic

snow lies thick on every foot
of ground; where for II month
or more to come the murmurs
of the streams will be hushed
beneath prison OF ice; where
cold, raw winds will whistle shrilly
through the bare and death-llke

THE affirmation by the Supreme
Court OF the decision of the Superior
Court in the celebrated divorce case
of Sarah Althea Hill VS.. VIM. Sharon
was the subject OF general comment
yesterday. This outcome OF the
plucky fight made by Miss Hill against
the millionaire (now deceased) was
generally received with satisfaction
for. the Amel lean public is always in
sympathy with the weak when fight
ing the strong. In this case there is
widespread belief that money had
been lavishly used by the defendant
in order to crush the woman who
stood so bravely up against him
to vindicate her honor and assert her
rights. The episode in which Judge
Tyler's clerk recei ed and got away
with $25, 900 for the purpose oi betray-
i, G his employer, served to confirm this
suspicion, and that fact alone would
have been sufficient to tnrn public
sympathy on the side of Miss Hill.
The Count OF last appeal has now de-
cided that she also had the law Cd her
side. BY referring to the names OF
the Justices who have handed down
this decision it will be seen
that they constitute the strength
in j1ridical ability OF the
Supreme Court. 1t is a great triumph
to the lady who has been SO signally
vindicated by this decision. To
Judge sullivan, Of the Superior Court,
whose exposition of the law is so COM
pletely endorsed by the Court OF last
resort, this decision must be especial
y gratifying. This upright and able
Judge has been the subject of much
abuse and Of a great deal of malicious
persecution on account OF his firm ju-
dicial attitude throughout the trial OF
this cause c6lebre. Nobody has any
doubt that the malignity born of
his decision in this case, went SO
far as to make special fight
against him as Democratic candi-
date for Justice Of the Supreme
court at the lat election. That
malignity, backed doubtless by free
use of money in places where it " ould
do the most good, or rather harm,
contributed in no small measure
toward his defeat. But the "whirli-
gig OF time brings about its revenges,"
and surely it is magnificent revenge
for the upright and able Judge to
realize that the decision to which he
owed his defeat in the last election is
ratified by the highest tribunal in the
State as a sound exposition OF the law
and a vindicaton OF justice warranted
by the facts adduced in the trial.

BEING in q bucolic strain at this
time, we propose to exhaust the sub
ject. Grapes are selling in this
county for much less than their in.
trinsic worth. There is but one
way to to remedy this defect. 1t
is simple one. Let every commu-
nifty of grape-growers get together
and build their own winery. Make
a cooperative concern out OF it, and
you will double the profits Of your in
dustry. If you have a large crop OF
fruit, let the cooperation embrace
the driving and canning OF fruit.
Every town in South California
should form local association at once,
and take earnest care OF its interests
in these directions. 1t will do more
for you than any other influence.

REPORTS from the country give
reason to believe that the exhibit of
fruit at Riverside during the National
90 lvention Of Fruit Growers will be
credit to Southern California. The
several sections OF this end of the
State seem to be fairly awake to the
demand Of the holr, and to be de-
termined to vie with each other in
putting most attractive display in
the pavilion. This is as it should be,
and We hope there will be no failure
on the part of any community to i'm
prove this golden opportunity. 1t
will be &c much the worse for the
community so failing. The effects OF
this meeting, whether favorable or
unfavorable, will not soon cease,
and will be hard to combat. Repre-
sentatives of many States will be
present. They will not be able to
visit the several sections OF the coun-
try in detail. Their eyes will be more
impressed by the aggregate OF the
exhibit than by anything else. They
will, to be sure, see the Riverside
orange groves in all their glory. But
attractive as that beautiful place is,
and loud as is the emphasis her
orange groves place on the story Of
our resources, yet Riverside is not the
whole of South California. nor il
the orange the only fruit we
produce. The visitors should see
our wines and brandies, oar raisins
nuts, apples and other deciduous
fruits, in all possible forms. They
will go East and tell the story of what
they see, AMI any town making an
unusual exhibit will give voice to
her name and attractions which will
re- echo from Maine to Texas. The
name Of the town making no exhibit
or an Indifferent one, will be buried
/ the oblivion she,deserves.

How the Arabs Retreat.

When the Arab tribe is pursued by
an enemy they sleep and take their
food without halting. That they may
not fall from their camels when Sleep
ing they stretch themselves out at
length, placing their feet in bag on
each side of the animals neck. Their
food is prepared by the women. One
mounted on camel loaded with wheat
continues grinding with hand-mill,
and passes the meal to another, who
is provided with leather bottles con-
tanning water, suspended on each side
of her camel she, having prepared the
paste, passes it to third, who COM
pletes the operation by baking the
bread in thin slices on a chafng-dish,
or a portable oven, which is heated
with wood or straw This bread,
with portion of cheese and dates, is
then distributed by her to those whom
it is her province to feed, and the fru-
gal meal is finished with draught of
camel's milk. The camels are also
MIXED as they walk, the men using
for this purpose large wooden bowls,
which are passed from one to another.
