InappreciatiYe Farmers.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle,
4 friend of mine, who was poet in his
mi. DIS eye. once went into the country late
III he rainy season. He was tired of the
city where the rain was entirely practical,
where the wind does not get chance to
howl, where he could not hear the foliage
sway in pain. and where he could only see
o little bit OF the storm-ridden sky at
time. He longed for the shingle-roof
where he could hear the drops patter on
the roof; he wanted house with long
caves and gable where the wind would
come and whine piteously, and all that
sort of thing So he went up to ranch
and lived with farmer and his family.
He wrote me after his arrival: II have
come to the wrong place. / have got in
with lot Of ..the most prosaic people
ever saw. They have not a breath
of poetry in them. Nature in all its beauty
is absolutely lost on them. We had most
glorious storm yesterday. The clouds
rolled across the heavens, the wind
whistled around the house, and the rain
drove in sheet across the landscape. Itwas
my chance. l wrote poem on the storm.
/ read it to the old farmer. He only said !:
Darn your poetry. Look at my crops!' !"
Then my friend, when he left, wrote a
little lode to a Mich Cow" and the farm
er had it framed and hung up in his par
lor. Talking about COWS, an artist told
me story of little experience he had
WI a farmer. He had been of on u
sketching trip, and be had fore gather
with a quiet old fellow, who had baen
very kind TO him. This old farmer talked
Of n 0thipg but cows; they were his hobby.
S., when the artist came back to the city,
be thought he'd please the old fellow, and
be painted a pretty little scene, with q
handsome, wei lied COW resting under q
tree. He had it framed and sent it to the
farmer. A few days after ne got letter
OF thanks, and at the end was postscript:
'It's mighty fine pictur', bat make
bold to say it's bad Likeness, or 1t ain't
my cow"

A Victory for the People.

The Maryland House of DELEGATE s
at last appears to realize that its SER
vices are due to the people and not
to a clique of politicians. A bill was
before the House yesterday to create
the Office of treasurer for Calvert
county, and place the power of APP
pointment in the hands of the Cover
nor, The committees seem to have a
strange aptitude for maturing such
measures, as none of general public
importance have yet escaped from
their hands. The Calvert bill was
similar to several already passed for
the purpose of disciplining counties
which hal voted against the ticket
stamped by the impudent and un-
scrupulous cabal of politicians which
has usurped all real power in the
Democratic party. 1t was equivalent
to saying to the people of Calvert,
you have had the audacity to ques-
ton the wisdom and disobey the Or
ders of the managers. therefore you
are not fit to choose the most impor-
tant officer in your county. We will
choose him for you, and we have al
ready selected a treasurer who suits
us exactly"
Dorest has been thus dragoOned in
the past, while Garrett has been the
most recent and conspicuous sufferer.
But the House yesterday concluded
that this petty partisan tyranny had
gone far enough. An amendment
was offered to the bill empowering
the citizens of Calvert county 10 elect
their own treasurer. 1t was vigor-
Ously opposed by the friends of the
managers, and the Baltimore city
delegation, with the exception Of Mr..
Joyce, voted solidly against the right
| of self-government in county which
might, as it has done before, reject the
insulting dictation of the Democratic
cabal.
The Republicans voted solidly to
continue the right of self-government
in the counties, and were Joined by
enough anti-ring Democrats to make
their strength effective, there being
forty-two votes for the amendment

ing in Pasadena, California. to Mrs.

days she has been in California it has
only rained four days and nights, be-
sides two other days that it was dis
agreeable to be out. She says the
ground that was covered with sand
when she arrived in Pasadena is now
covered with verdure of beautiful
green as far as the eye can see. and
the orange trees are bending with
fruit, and strawberries are in perfPc-
ton. The thermometer has ranged
from 10 to 80 degrees in the shade,
the lowest being 38 degrees above
zero, and that for few mornings
only, and no frost to injure the most
delicate fruits.
