SCAPEGRACE SONS.
A Manitoba Farm Devoted to Making
Men of Sewers of wild Oats.

I've seen almost all kinds of curious
farms. | think" said traveller the
other day, from ostrich down to pep
permint farms. but one of the strang-
est is up in Manitoba, Its principal
crop is an annual growth of young
Englishmen. sons of wealthy parents
who have interrupted the boys in their
diligent work of sowing a thick and
early crop of wild oats, and have sent
them out to the colony to have their
moral and physical health built up
and little industry and useful knowl-
edge instilled into them at the same
time. The owners of the farm, two
brothers, charge the boys for their
board and instruct them in farming for
nothing, but the work they manage to
get out of the young fellows is worth a
good deal more than time spent in
teaching them, though occasionally a
horse is foundered or a piece of farm
machinery is broken by the young
greenhorn.
1T is remarkable, though, how these
young sprigs of nobility, many of them,
take to the hard work of the farm
They have true British grit about
them and the managers have sense
enough to have the drudgery and dirty
work done by hired men. The bows
ride the horserakes, drive the moving.
machines, learn to run thrasher,
pillow, ETC.. and all of them take kindly
to the care of livestock, the horses
especially, though a propensity to race
the latter at every opportunity has to
be guarded against. The instincts OF
gentlemen don't seem to desert them
either, for they win never sit down tc
eat in the clothes they have worked in
and refuse to eat with the farm hands
who bring the smell of stables Ia tht

OUR FOOD FISHES.
a Fine Salmon Season-Perch Petering
Out-Csrp Galore.

Out-Csrp Galore.
For an inland city, Sacramento is very
fortunate in having an excellent fish sup
ply. The river that flows past her doors is
one of the finest salmon streams on the
coast, and if properly protected there is
reason to believe that the supply will be
maintained for generations to come. The
State Fish Commissioners--as stated in
these columns day or two ago-have this
season Matched and turned loose in the
Sacramento river nearly four million
young salmon, and if the Legislature con-
tinues to make proper provision therefor
the Commissioners will be able to keep up
the supply of young fishes. The carp
which has been designated as 1.-The poor
mans fish"-has multiplied wonderfullyin
the Sacramento river and contiguous basin.
and can be taken in large quantities and
with very little effort.
Thanks 10 the Government Fish Com
mission, our river is now well stock ed with
shad a fish that is noted for its delicate
flavor, and is regarded as a rare luxury
even in the East. The shad of the Sacra-
mento attain large growth, often weigh
ing seven pounds, size rarely attained by
those of the Hudson and other Eastern
rivers. They can be had in the markets in
season, and reasonably cheap.
THE LOCAL MARKETS
All of the tish markets in this city are
doing thriving business, and fish are be-
ing caught in the river in great quantities.
Between this city and Isleton there are
about twenty-five fishing scows. each one
operated by two men. Between Isleton and
Rio Vista there are many more, but the
greater part of their catch goes TO the can
neries al San Francisco. In conversation
with reporter, w R. Jones, one of the
propnetors of the fish market at the foot of
K street, stated that the quantity of salmon
caught this season in the Sacramento river
was much greater than for some years past.
The fish are larger than before, and weigh
on an average about % pounds Mr.. Jones
handles all the way from Us to 800 salmon
every day.
Catfish are net rs plentiful as they were
last year, and scarcely any perch are being
caught. The few that are taken sell for 10
to u cents per pound, wholesale.
There are perhaps more carp in the river
than any other species CT the fnny tribe,
and although they are palstabe fish there
seems to be very little demand for them.
Said Mr.. Jones: There are > 000 pounds
OF carp you may take away for ? cents

A Trio of Opium Fiends Cause the Off.
GERS Much Trouble.

GERS Much Trouble.
About noon yesterday Condor, Van
Voohries and Hopkins, the three opium
victims captured on Thursday in railroad
car, were taken from their cells in the CITY
Prison and started for the County Jail by
officers Rider and Rowland The latter
two prisoners were very stubborn and
would not get out of their hunks until they
were about TO be dragged from them. All
three OF them were itiful-looking sights.
Sallow- complexioned and with sunken
cheeks, their eyeballs actually seem as if
they were about to drop from their sockets.
Just before leaving the Jail all three of
them begged mercifully for "inchee,i the
ashes found in opium pipes after the opium
has been smoked, a quantity of which is
always kept at the Jail. Hopkins posi-
lively refused to accompany the officers
without first being given some medicine, !"
as he termed it, and he deliberately laid
down on the floor and refused to bulge
He was placed upon his feet, and upon
being hand cuffed 10 Van Voohries the
latter SAID: Its good thing you chained
me, for rs sure as | stand here was going
to make break, killed or no killed.
The prisoners were started off with no
little effort, Rider taking charge of Van
Voohries and Hopkins. When opposite
Chinese cellar at Third and ! streets, both
leaped down the stairs and into the dark
basement. Rider was upon them in an
Instant and what with the noise of the
frightened Mongolians and the scuffie be-
tween the officers and the men, pandamo.
mum reigned. Captain Karcher happened
to be driving along the street at that mo-
ment, and with his assistance Rider secured
his charge. No further incident occurred
during the rest of the route. save the
cursing and blasphemy of Hopkins, who
was the instigator of the break for liberty.
He was perhaps making for China Slough
TO drown himself and thus complete the
job he set out upon when caught in the car
on the preceding DAY.

the District Attorney was allowed TO plead
guilty to petit larceny. He waived time
and was sentenced 10 three months in the
County Jail. The prisoner, who is mere

of watches from the residence of H. F.

The Court appointed c. 7. Jones to de-

the Sacramentos were treated to genuine
surprise by being shut out. The Stockton
club has defeated every other nine in the
league, and, with San Francisco, now
stands first in the race. The Sacramentos
have taken new life and propose to gain
the top round of the ladder in short order.
If the club from this city should win to-
days game at San Francisco there will I'M
