The Lamp Went Free.

The Washington Fire Engine Com
pany, which Robert Holman visited
during his recent trip east, and OF WHICH
he used to be member when he was a
foot racer, was organized in Washing
toms time and the organization has been
kept up ever since. The lamps on the
old engine had portrait of Washington
cut on the glass in elegant style. On
starting to return to this coast the COM
panv presented Mr. Holman with one OF
these lamps, which he brought home as
trophy of his visit and of which he is
very proud.
He came back over the Canadian Pa,
cific and carried his lamp with him. 4 vi
gilant custom house officer pounced upon
it, thinking to collect some duty on it.
Bob" told him that he had better leave
that lamp alone, and remarked:
"Your folks, young man, got into 4
heap of trouble with the person on that
lamp about taxes. They wanted to tax
him and he would not have it, and your
folks had to give it up for bad job, and
were out whole lot OF money and land
an the transaction, You had better moi
undertake to collect any tax Off him now
or you will be in trouble again"
The astonished revenue officer did moi
understand, but when Bob showed hin
the lace on the lamp and explained the
situation to him he concluded that hf
would let Washington pass free of duty

THE CENSUS IN 1890.
Some OF the Wonderful Changes 1t
VIII Reveal.

The census of 1890 will reveal many
wonderful changes The central line of
population will be much nearer the Mis-
sissippi river than it was ten years ago.
y series of maps like those contained in
the last census, of gradations in color, to
indicate the changes in density OF popu-
lation, wealth, health and other import
ont facts, will present n curious contrast
with the maps that we now have for the
census OF 1850, or that OF 1870. Over l6,-
000,O00 acres of land were sold in the
last fiscal year under the operation of
the homestead and timber-culture law.
More than I24, 100000 of acres have
been settled in the last eight years, re-
representing a larger area than the
states OF Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and
Michigan.
The greatest changes have been made
in the northwestern group OF states and
territories, compr sing Dakota, Ne
braska, Minnesota, Wyoming and Mon
tana, where nearly 10000, 900 of acres
have been settled in the last eight years.
In the southwestern group, comprising
| Kansas, Colorado, Missouri and New
Mexico, nearly so ,000, ,0J0 of acres have
been occupied. On the Pacific coast
| 10 GOO, 900 OF acres more have been settled
and $4,000, 900 of acres must be added to
| the Southern States on both sides of the
Mississippi. Along the Pacific roads 49,
000,O 900 OF acres have been opened
since the last census. In other words,
| the government and the Pacific rail-
roads have opened fer settlement in the
last eight years a territory larger than
New England, Middle States and South
Carolina combined; larger than Ger
many Or France and about twice as
large as Great Britain and Ireland.

Marion Crawford Honored.

The French Academy has awarded
F. Marion Crawford the prize of $500
for two novels, written by himself in
French, and entitled ''Zorvastre" and
the ''Crueitix de Mario" Both of
these novels were originally written
in English and bore the titles OF
'Zoroaster" and "Marizo's Crucifx"
Tho first IS a romance of Persia,
founded on the life of Zoroaster, and,
though 1t contains some magnificent
descriptive passages, American critics
have pronounced it his poorest work.
The other is a strong novel of Italian
life, which turns chiefly on the in
tense hatred of religion and govern
ment by Mario, an artitieer in brass

a Fortunate DruReiss.

Mr.. Edwin ". Joy for many years and now pros
porous druggist the corner OF Stockton and Mar.
ket streets in San Francisco probably nsvsr dresr-
ed of rivAling IN wealth tho medicine kings Of the
country. But various rumors having been floating
around to the effect that he has struck It big, an
Examiner reporter WAS detailed to unearth tho
cause and after much difficulty unrsyoIed the fol-
lowing story:
1t seems that about Eeven years ago an English
physician, great student OF botany, located for
brief season in this city. His practice WAS not ex
tersivc. and yet the few cases OF general nature
that came to him attracted no little attention. His
greatest success seemed to be In the treatment OF
liver and kidney disorders and vitiated blood. In
fact his ability to cope with these common COM
plants was little short OF the marvellous. He
seemed almost infallible, and his quiet modest
methods and his weilkept secret was much 9
mystery as himself. After his departure about =
year later Mr. Joy determined to fsthom the secret
and copying all the prescriptions he had filed for
the erratic doctor, he began systematic analysis.
In his examination he discovered running ali
through .he prescriptions for liver and kidney
troubles, vitiated blood and stomach disorders =
couple Of vegetable extracts indigenous to Calior
mia, SO simple and SO we'll known under honely
every day names 10 every school boy as to entirely
dissipate the suspicion that they we're the active
principles involved. So certain. however. was Mr.
Joy that he had discovered the secret that he EN-
bodied the new elements In preparation of Sarsa-
prila TO disguise the taste. and put ii before his
customers under the modest name of Joys Yegeta-
lie Sarsaparilla. Immediately the same marvellous
stories camo back Of its astonishing effects. and the
mystery solved and the talk it has created has
already caused it to step into prominence and orders
pour in daily from all over the coast People seem
tn he and
throughout the statee And thus another California
industry leaps into eAisteEce.-S. e EIanliner.

A New Citizen.

While taking my usual evening walk
last night, l noticed people turning and
staring at something right ahead
OF me. l quickeped my footsteps to as.
certain the cause, aud perceived Just N
front OF me rather well built girl OF
dark complexion. On nearer approach
| saw thar she was accompanied 10y Mr..
Perrot, gentleman lately from Aus.
tralla. Knowing him | at once went
up and asked what was the commotion D,
be Informed NE he guessed it was on &C.
count or the Tahitian girl. l asked hin
few particulars about her, which Mr.
Perrot WAS kind enough to answer
Where does she come from? / asked
she is from the Island OF Moupiti
close 20, aud under the jurisdiction o:
the French.
Why did she come here, was it OF her
own free will? then said.
Decidedly, she has heard great deal
about America, and guess she wanted
to see it.
Does she like the place?
y, yes, she stands the climate exceed.
ingly well, so far.
is she anyway intelligent?
very much so; understands everything
about house, In fact, has great deal
more PERCEPTION THAI many an Europe
an walking these streets.
Is she always frightened by the hustle
aud noise?
No. sir; you can't frighten her, by long
chalk.
Does she intend staying here Any
length of time?
No; 1 rhink she will 60 home soon.
She has promised her father she wouId
return quickly.
What does her father do?
Nothing; he is brother to the king OF
Moupiti, and, takes life easy.
L then enquired if she could speak
English, but Mr.. Perrot informed me
she could understand it, but could not
speak it. She speaks Tahitian and
French.
Does she know the value of money?
Mr.. Perrot laughiDgly replied, show
her dollar and see.
L did, without thinking. 1 wish /
hadn't, now, would be better off /
then thanked Mr.. Perrot for his kind
ness aud re ,umed my walk, thinking as
wended my way homewards, that the
simple native is not as simple as he is
