CHAPTER ".
THE Esd OF TIE TALE.

AS soon as her father had gone Ida rose
and suggested that if Col Quartch Ind done
his wine they should go into the drawing
room, which they accordingly did. This
room was much moro modern than either
the vestibule or the dining room, and had a
general air and flavor of the Nineteenth CEN
tuly young lady about it, There were the
little tables, tie draperes, the photograph
frames, and all tho hundred and ono Enicli-
knacks and odds and ends by means of which
a lady of taste makes a room lovely
in the eyes Of brutal man. ii was a
very pleasant place to look upon, this
drawing room at Honham castle, with its
irregular rccesses, its somewhat faded
Co!ors Illuminated by the soft light of

dominion. Harold Quartch was a man who
bad seen much of the world, but had not seen
much OF drawing rooms, or, indeed, of ladies
AT large. They lad not como in his way, or
ST they had come in his way he had avoided
them Therefore, perhaps, was he tho moro
susceptible to such Influences when h. came
in contact with them. Or perhaps it was the
presence of Ida's gracious self which threw
charm about the place that added to its
natural attractivencss, rs the china bowls of
lavender and rose leaves added perfume to
the air. Anyhow, it struck him that he had
mover seen a room which conveyed to his
mind such an idea of gentle rest and refine

entered it,

Our esteemed contemporary. the
Express, yesterday had some fitting re.
Elections on George Washington, as was
natural and proper on the anniversary
of bis birth. Its reflections are admir-.
able, although the subject is, of course,
somewhat hackneyed. We venture to
take issue with one statement, which is
misleading. Our contemporary says that
Washington was not great military
chieftain or great statesman. 1t is far
wide of the mark, particularly as to the
military status Of the Father of his Coun-
try. There was little exaggeration in
Lees triad, First in war, first in
peace, first in the hearts of his country
men," Frederick the Great, at the close
of the Revolutionary war, sent Lis sword
to Washington with an inscription on the
hilt which ran, "From the oldest general
in Europe to the greatest general in the
world" and Frederick meant exactly
what he said. AS the great German was
himself one of the half dozen greatest
generals that ever lived, his judgment as
to Washington's military status ought to
be and is conclusive. AS a statesman,
Washington possessed an incompatible
poise of judgment and character that
amounted to inspiration.

THERE is no doubt that the farmers oi
Los Angeles county and of South Cal
ifornia generally are watching the skies
with somewhat anxious faces. The rain
Of last week was much heavier in the in
terror than about the city. In the Santa
Ana valley it was quite copious. The
barley, which in spots had begun to look
a little yellow, was finely revived by
these timely showers, and all the grain
in this section is now strong and
healthy. 1t will not actually suffer
again within the next two weeks. There
is much grain sown since the heavy
rains of the earlier part of the season, and
that is hut inst peeping above ground.
The grass is coming to seed, and puts on
an appearance of maturity. 1t will not
be by any means as long as it was last
year, but it is very fine and nutritious.
The grain will be short as to straw, but
that is often not sign of light crop.
The usual rule in these parts is that
when the snow lies go deep on the noun
tains as it does now there will be plenty
OF rain. We look for plentiful downpours
during March to make this one of the
most profitable of seasons to the farmers.

Insect Pests DO Not Like Tomatoes.
The tomato vine has q very pro-
nounced odor. 1t has usually been
thought that it was owing to this fact that
insects of all sorts shun this vine. A
French fruit-grower has found that this
quality Of the tomato vine may be taken
advantage of to drive the insects from
other plants. He says:
The trees of my peach orchard were
covered with insects when just com.
mencing to bud. Having just cut some
tomatoes, the idea occurred to me that,
by placing some of the leaves around the
trunks and branches OF the peach trees,
l might preserve them from the rays OF
the sun, which are very powerful. My
surprise was great uNpn the follow
ing day to find the trees entirely
free from their enemies, not one re-
naming, except here and there where
curled leaf prevented the tomato
from exercising its influence. These
leaves l carefully unyolled, placing upon
them fresh ones from the tomato vine,
with the result of banishing the last in
sect, and enabling the tree to grow with
luxuriance. Wishing to carry still
further my experiment, / stepped in
water some leaves of the tomato, and
sprinkled with this infusion other plants
roses and oranges. In two days these
were also free from tho innumerable in
sects which covered them.
The planting of tomato vines in the
orchard may have salutary effect. II
is at least worth trying. Try the leaves
OF the vine on the trees, and try decoc.
ton Of the plant too.

TUE action of President Cleveland in
signing the bill for the admission of the
Territories of North and South Dakota
and Washington and Montana, assures us
four more States, eight new United States
Senators and five members of tie House
of Representatives, with the full priv.
lege of membership. 1t will add thirteen
new votes to the Electoral Colleges and
make it necessary that the next President
should receive 209 votes instead Of 201.
Whether this change will destroy the
prestige of New York, as determining the
result remains to be seen. Congress
has done wise thing in welcoming these
promising and progressive communities
into the sisterhood of States.

CHICAGO, February 22.-In accord
ance with the annual custom, the Union
League Club of this city to-day celebrated
Washington's birthday. The stage in
the Central Music Hall, this afternoon, :.
was occupied by distinguished men from
various parts of the country, and the
large auditorium was completely filed
with prominent people. The orator OF
the day was General Jacob D, Cox, of
Ohio, whose address on Washington,
the Citizens Example" was listened to
with close attention. This evening the
members of the club and the guests sat
down to the annual banquet at the club
house. At it's conclusion the programme
of toasts was taken up. General Russell
A. Alger, of Michigan, responded to
Gan American Policy for the American
People," Frank E. Dawson, of
Minnesota, to "Our Manifest Destiny" :"
s. E. Bishop Cheney, to "The
American Commonwealth" and Henry
w. Darling, of Toronto, "The
political relations of the United States
and Canada from a Canadian stand
point" Mr.. Darling said, referring to
the much mooted question of annexation,
that he thought he correctly described
the prevailing sentiments of the Canadi-
ans generally when he said that the word
annexation" is extremely dstasteful to
them. Their affection for the land of
their forefathers is a feeling which al.
ways will be predominant in their
breasts. If their political relations
are to be changed, it will
come about as natural sequence
of events, and not purely as the result of
an appeal to sordid or material consid-
erations. Referring to commercial union
or unrestricted reciprocity, he asked
wh0fher it is not in violation of all indi-
cat10nsqf nature that artificial barriers to
treeouQd commerce should be erected
along n ulmagiuary line stretching from
the Atlantic to the Pacific between peo-
pie q 3 common descent and common
Language who are engaged in common
AIM namely making tributary to their
material advancement the vast resources
OF nature which have been placed at their
disposal. Mr.. Darling then re-
viewed at length the question of trade
between the United States and Canada
entering largely into statistics, and show
ing, among other things, that Canada's
trade with the United States, in spite of
restrictions, was increasing. The
speaker declared that the position taken
by the Hon. Ben Butterworth ana other
American statesmen on reciprocal trade
had caused an agitation Incompatible
with reciprocal trade. He thought there
would be difficulty about assimilating the
tariffs of the two countries.

THAT noble old veteran, Gen. VIM. S.
Rosecrans, has been put upon the re.
tired list as Major. General, and he
has thus secured provision for his old
age, which we hope will be green and
hale one. There sre some people who
are always fond of unpleasant reminis-
cences, and Perkins, of Kansas, re-
minded the House that Rosecrans had
opposed the putting OF Grant on the
retired list on principle. The General
was at that time a member of Congress
from San Francisco. There is always
some disagreeable fellow to draw the rec
ord on an impulsive man. This captious
Republican has forgotten the old adage
that, the case being altered, that alters
the case. There we're q lot of prag-
matical persons during the last campaign
who even had the temerity to remind
Mr.. Cleveland of the pretty things he
had said about the inexpediency and
danger of President of the United
States being his own successor.

ANGELENos made decidedly the most
of yesterday. The streets were filed al
day long with such of tie population as
failed to take train to the seaside or 8
vehicle to drive into the surrounding
country. There were several lines o.
amueements provided for those who
cater to the public in this respect, and
they were well patronized. There prob
ably was not another community in the
Union where there were SO fine facilities
for celebrating the day than were found
here in the Angelic city, where all ele.
ments of existence were as near angelic
as they can well be on this mundane
sphere.

piled upon an ossa of exaggeration by a

piled upon an Ossa of exaggeration by a
statement credited to Senator Jones,
who is reported as saying that his Cali
fornia colleague is richer than William
X. Vanderbilt. The Democratic Senator
from California is personally very mod
est man, and is in no wise responsible for
these extravagant statements. He has
never been known to place his fortune
at over $4,000, 900, and that itself is a
rather comfortable figure. 1t will GER
tainly suffice to keep the wolf from the
door. What Mr.. Hearst may be worth
if, thanks to his vigorous constitution, he
should live decade or 70 yet, is a horse
of different color. Of late years he
has started in to accumulate money at a
remarkably rapid rate. His income
from mining and other properties has
become immense.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-23

SEVERAL very fine buildings are being
put up in this city at the present time.
Some of them are residences and others
are business blocks. The long-headed.
far-seeing men who are doing this are
not making mistake. A building can
be put up now for much less than it
would have cost year ago, or than it
will cost year from now. The growth
OF this city is not at an end indeed, it
has hardly even begun. The little rest
now being taken will not last
long, and when it is over, and
enterprises are once more set agoing
they will go at such pace as to aston
ish all beholders, as they did astonish
them all during the past few years.
When that building boom is on again,
labor and material will be so per cent.
higher than they are now.

As we write there are about six hun
dred votes to be counted. The figures at
hand give Mr.. Bryson 2S44, Mr.. Hazard
1907, and Mr.. Toberman 1156. The vo e
is substantially that of December, there
being but triding increase. AS far as
heard from, Hazard has a majority of
1900 over all and plurality of 2463 over
Bryson. The significant thing about
this election is that the Democrats failed
to vote in any considerable numbers.
1t would be well that we should look into
the cause of this state of things and
remedy it. There is an obvious party
apathy. Another significant circum-
stance is that the Republicans voted
pretty solidly, and Toberman drew most
of his votes from the Democrats, con-
trary to the general expectation. While
there is no use of crying over spilled
milk, there is such a thing as giving due
heed to the lesson involved in such a
Waterloo as we encountered yesterday.

INDlANASs.olIs, February 22.-This af-
ternoc5n General Harrison received fifty
. .eterans of the Vicksburg campaign, who
are holding q Convention in the city for
the purpose of organizing new veteran
| society, to be known as 1.-THE Society of
Vicksburg." They were received infor-
mally, no speech-making being INDUCED

| Later in the afternoon a mum Der of
delegates attending the annual meeting
of the Order of Chosen Friends were re-
ceived by the General. He also had two.

hart and r. III. Taylor, who, it is under
stood, came to talk about the Federal
patronage in Texas.
Nothing reliable can be learned as to-
the Cabinet, though there have been
| many rumors of changes that are to take
| place in the State. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the Navy and Agricultural
Departments are still untitled, and that
Senator Palmer, of Michigan, is likely to
take the latter. The Navy, it is thought,
will 90 to the East, though no
name has been fixed upon; but
it is said Warner Miller could have it
if he desired. This is based as much on
General Harrison's known friendship for
Miller as anything else. The California
situation is still one of uncertainty. The
pressure on General Harrison to take a
man from the Pacific Slope, it is thought,
has weakened the chances of w. II. HI.
Miller, of this State, as it is thought the
Department of Justice is the one that
will be given to the Slope. Nothing can
be learned definitely as to the War De-
partment, but the best opinion is that it
will 60 to Rusk. There appears to be no
longer any room for doubt that Wana-
maker will be the next Postmaster Gem
eral. Gossip is now confined almost
entirely to the discussion of the
chances of the Pacific States.
There seems to be well-defned impress
eion among politicians here that, taking
into consideration what transpired at
Chicago, California cannot we'll be left
out if an acceptable man can be found,
and this has strengthened the belief here
that Estee will be named for one of the
departments. The South has ceased to
be talked of.

The New York World runs daily a
column of gossip about noted politicians
that is often very interesting, though it
is quite frequently sprightly rather than
accurate. The other day it had some
paragraphs devoted to Senator w. r.
Hearst, confoundiDg the father with his
son, the proprietor of the San Francisco
Examiner. A short description was
given of Senator Hearst's hospitality in
Washington, and the extraordinary
statement was made that at recent
entertainment given at the Senator's
house in that city the flowers alone cost
$25 1000. This will be news to Mr..
Hearst, whose Washington establish
ment costs him about sixty thousand
dollars year-a generous sum, which
be can very readily afford. A Pelion is
