Four and Half Tons of Grapes From
One Vine.
The San Francisco Chronicle has the fol-
lowing: "wc are not much on corn here
in California" said Scotsman r. J. Trum-
bull, of Sansome street yesterday, "but In
ALI other products of nature we can heat
the world. OF course you have heard of the
big grapevine at Santa Barbara, which
covers an area of three acres of land Then
there is the monster rosebush at Santa Rosa
remember when a boy l marvelled at the
size of this floral plant. 1t grew an enormous
height, and completely covered the house
where 1t grow. During my lifetime here
in California have handled squashes run
ming all the way from $50 to 800 pounds
each. Watermelons have seen weighing
from 80 to 100 pounds. Beets are frequently
known on this coast weighing all the way
nom 40 to % pounds. l remember one
beet raised Mt San Rafael, which weighed
about SO pounds. Last fall I saw three
onions the aggregate weight of which was
neary pounds. In the Santa Clara valley
! have known of onions weighing from
IL to q pounds. Tomato vines frequently
grow ten or twelve foet across, and have
quite often seen radishes that looked like
big turnips "
have observed specimens of the Hum
Doldt potato which weighed from two to
three pounds. 1t is not at all unusual to
see cabbages weighing from 81 to rs pounds.
Some years ago Mr.. Fox, who lived down
IN the Santa Cruz mountains, raised a car
rot of the white Belgian variety which
weighed about - pounds.
The iar-famed big grape vine at Monte
cito, near santa barbara, is owned by
Albert Magec. The vine was planted
about forty years aga. The grapes are of
the Mission variety. The parent stalk is
40 inches in circumference one foot from
the ground. Where it commences TO
branch, three feet from the ground it's cir
cuinference is tj inches. The vine yielded
~ tons Of grspes in single season. The
vine covers g,n area of 100 by 30 feet.

lent Jail life one of ease and luxury.
the law is cheated of its intended eff
feet, and criminals will learn to have
no fear of the courts, as the sentence
OF close confinement amounts In re-
allty only to custody in which the
criminal is regal master, and the State
officials his body servants. The ques-
ton Of the correspondent is an impor-
tant one, and II the right to make a
mere farce and mockery Of penal in
situations is vested in the sheriff. it is
time the thing is changed: and we
cant see why the DelawareaH should
deem it special favor to the cores
pOndent that it is published, for surely
the sheriff of Kent county is no less to
be criticised, if his course is wrong,
than any other man in public life.

Murder or suicideq

On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Evans, at
Smyrna Landing, in looking at the creek
from her residence saw what she supposed
to be man swimming, the active current
giving it this appearance, but further look
showed that it did not change position. She
notified man or two of the neighborhood
who discovered it was dead floating body,
only that it was anchored to the place. A
stone weighing some forty pounds was found
tied to the feet of the corpse, railroad spikes
being used in securely tying the cord. The
place was at the upper end of the Landing,
above the point visited by the dredging ma
chimes, where the water was shallow, and
when decomposition set in could reach the
surface at low tide. A coroner's jury was
summoned and an inquest held at six O'Clock
with B. V. Weldon as foreman and o. B.,
Voshell as clerk. The body was found with
out any marks upon it indicating violence,
and utterly without anything on the person
or in the pockets that would lead to identif-
catiou.-SplYyna Times.

Another Chapter on Jail Misman.
agement.

Mr.. EDITOR A few days ago, unless
my eyes greatly deceived me, met prom
iuent citizen of Dover out riding in company
with a man supposed to be an inmate of the
Kent county Jail. At least was present in
court when the Chief Justice sentenced this
man to prison for three years last spring,
and have not heard that he was pardoned.
What I would like to know is, by what right
the sheriff sets at defiance the sentence Of
the court and whether he is not violating
law by keeping the prisoners in place
other than the Jail I am informed that
this man has never been inside the county
Jail as a prisoner If this is so, then ask,
is the sheriff higher and greater than the
courts of the State? Ifthe sheriff can set at
defiance the sentence of the court, it is time
that stringent laws should be passed to pro-
hibit him from carrying prisoners around or
sending them around the country. When
the next court convenes few of us will not
hesitate to haYe the attention of the judges
called to the high-hauded disregard shown
the court by one of its officers Some Of us
feel that this action of Sheriff Feuuimore is
outrageous, and a direct insult to this COM
munity, and we hope you will publish this
short article merely to call attention to the
manner in which the sheriff acts.
June 4, 1889. CAMDEN.
I'VE know nothing about the manner in
which Sheriff Fennimore conducts the Jail.
We have never been there, and have never
seen a.prisoner riding around the country.
We will state further, that we do not know
anything shout how the prisoners are kept
or treated, OF whether the sheriff is or is not
violating the law Further, if this commu-
nication was not from valued patron Of
ghis Office we should not have published it.

Saturday morning.

quarterly meeting for this circuit in the
NJ. E. Church here on last Saturday
morning,
f, The Church Hill Base Ball Club came
to Lincoln with three of the Houston
team on Saturday afternoon last, with the
evident intention of wiping the Lincolns
out but they were not successful. One
of their number from Houston) mag
ined himself '1ord of all he surveyed, !"
and if he had went much farther, he would
probably have been disappointed, although
the majority of the club were gentlemanly
fellows. John Vineyard, the visitors
pitcher, was knocked down by ball hit
by Frank Hollis. Woodruff took his
place. The following is the score, there
being but four innings played Lincoln
%, Church Hill 3. The next game will
be played at Church Hill, the Houston
battery will play with the Church Hill
club.
"Children's Day" exercises passed off
a, we'll as could be imagined, considering
the size ofthe participants. The singing
was excellent, and everything was carried
out to a letter. The church was packed
an hour before the exercises began, and
when it did begin, there wasr nearly as
many peopleout-doorsa as there was inside.

More Free Trade.


The tremendous strides that the
Southern States are making in devel-
Oping of the resources of that highly
favored country is already producing
its effect upon the northern manufae-
turers. They begin to see the great
advantages that the southern manu-
faeturers have oyer them. Especially
is this the case with iron manufacture
ers. They employ cheaper labor, and
have the advantage of close proximity
to rich and inexhaustible ore beds and
easily worked coal min Enrther II
70 ~" p'oss . beyond doubt. that the
-rn ores are adapted to the man
- .cture of steel, while the manufac-
/ turers of steel east of the Alleghanies
have to import foreign ores to mix
with their ores in order to make good
Bessemer steel. that is a saleable arti-
Gle. The eastern men under these cir
cumstances are beginning to sing an
other tune from that which they filled
the land few years ago. They are
now beginning to clamor for the adj
mission of foreign ore free of duty and
are calling the tariff tax ON the raw
material outrageous. The time is not
far distant when the bloated million
aires of the manufacturing districts
will be clamoring loudly aud persist
emily for reduction of the tariff to a
revenue basis and for the opening up
of this country to the commerce Of the
world freed from high tariff. The
truth is that the northern manufacture
ers will (nething oppOrtuning) in a
few years be compelled to quit bust
ness or find market outside of this
country for their products, because
they will be unable to sellrtO the peo-
Pile of this country in competition
with southern products. In a few
years the halls of the federal congress
will be ringing with the elUquenee of
northern and eastern statesmen in de-
nunciatiOn of protection to ''infant
American industries.r

The conference between the three
great powers, the United States, Great
Britain and Germany, over the Sa-
moan difficulties, has ended in an
agreement that, no doubt, will be ac-
ceptable to all the interested parties.
The outcome of this conference should
he especially gratifying to the people
of the United States because our ma
tional honor has been thoroughly vim
dictated. The essential features of the
Berlin conferences are said to be as
follows: MalietOa is to be restored to
power, Samoans are to rule Samoa, an
advisory council representing the three
great powers are to deal with MalietOa
in regard to all questions affecting for
eigners, a commission to investigate
aud decide disputes, all treaties here
tofore made between the Samoan gov
eminent and other governments are to
remain in force. There is no doubt
about the acceptance of the work of
the commission by the interested gov
ernments.
