ROUNDUP TOPICS.

OF all the absurd things ever sprung
upon the American continent the stuff
about the invasion of Lower California
is the silliest and most pompous. There
is a flavor of Bobadil and Bombastes
about the thing that is amazingly anus
ing to those who know anything about
the persons invested with such high
sounding titles. The adventures of
Don Quixote on the Island of Barataria
embodied a staid and contained nara
tive compared to this side-splitting
farce. But it is said that the twaddle
was actually telegraphed up. to San
Francisco, and at least one Los Angeles
newspaper printed the whole dull and
pointless tale. In the whole personnel
there is only one commanding figure,
viz, Capt. j. f. James, OF the City Front
Gazette. This noble tar of course can't
be whistled down the wind. His gizzard
is made of the right stuff, and the
HERALD happens to know that his rev.
olutionary plans have not been devel-
oped in anything like their majestic
contour in these stories. After cutting
out the Democratic, which exploit was
to be performed by Janes's own
snickershee, the captain, with a picked
crew of Tar Flat Jack tars, was to make
his way down the coast to Chilian
waters. The capture of the Chilian
navy was to be accomplished in flash,
and with the armor-clad vessels thus OBJ
tanned, this dauntless general-admiral
and promulgator of the striped snood
was to plunge around the Horn, appear
in British waters, sink and disable the
English navy and declare the independ-
ence of Ireland. This once accomplished,
James was to form an alliance with the
emperor of Germany, conquer Russia
and iberate the Siberian eXiles. All
these noble schemes have been nipped
in the bud by the premature publication
Of the plans of the committee of fifteen.
1t is Il curious thing that, whenever
grass gets short in San Diego, series of
highly sensational and interesting things
is sure to happen in the immediate
vicinity of our charming neighbor.
Every leading ship-builder OF the world
sends an agent there to agitate
the building Of a line of steamers
to India, China, Kamschatka or some
other historical and treasure -burdened
spot, and railroads begin to spring up
with more alacrity than mushrooms
after a genial spring rain. Since Sedg
wick first surveyed the line for what was
afterwards the Texas Pacific road on the
direct route to Yuma, at least S94, 900
miles of railway have been built to San
Diego-on paper, or in your minds eye,
so to speak, and an amount of gold and
silver has been discovered just across
the Lower California line large enough
to fill all the available space in the
vaults of the banks of England and
France, and so crowd the United States
treasury at Washington as to make the
secretary of the treasury fairly howl for
more additions to Uncle Sans cash box.
Still, Notwithstanding this enormous
inpouring of treasure, now and then a
man can be found in San Diego who
would be willing to accept loan at a
low rate of interest.

This seemed to the Founder of Cities a
good notion, and he closed with it. Ban
croft then hied him round to Roman.
and asked that brother in the craft if he
had any unstable books. Roman hap
pened to have curious collection of old
patent-office reports, and other intensely
interesting literature of that kind, and
the swap was made. Bancroft after
wards sold that block for $4,000. To
estimate the value of the books at one
hundred dollars would be to indulge in
reckless figures.
The HERALD learns that it was part of
the agreement with Alvin Clark & Sons,
of Boston, that the great rcrystal for the
Spence Observatory on Wilson's Peak
was to be polished at Monrovia. 1t is
almost certainty that the traction rail
way, spoken of in these columns some
DAYS ago, will be built at an early date.
The travel to the summit of the noun
tain is increasing daily. With a railway
from Lake avenue in Pasadena to the
top OF the Peak, there would be big
daily rush to this romantic spot, where
the beauties of both heaven and earth
could be studied to great advantage.
Would such a railway pay? Undoubt-
edly, and almost from the start. With
the biggest telescope in the world on top
of mountain $500 feet high, the rush
to get up there when the fatigues of a
mountain climb were not involved,
would be prodigious. Such railway
would be the success of the day.
In an interview with one of our lead
ing produce commission merchants we
were assured that whilst he believed
that the establishment of public mar
ket in this city would be beneficial to
the commission business, he did not be-
lieve it would be a success. The reason
he gave was that our people, unlike
eastern people, are not in the habit of
going every morning to market and lay
ing in their daily supplies. They have
their regular purveyors and buy by
order, so that a great majority of house
keepers never 60 to market at all. Veg
etabes are generally purchased at the
door from peddlers. Perhaps the very
reason why our housewives do not do
more marketing themselves is because
we have not large public market where
the farmers and vegetable and fruit grow
ers from the country can come and sell
their products at first hands from their
own wagons. There is no doubt in our
mind that a public market Of the kind
contemplated would be very advanta-
geous to the farmers, and if it would
bring them and our housekeepers to-
gether, it would be of benefit to both
parties.

These peoples are rapidly disappearing-notb by

this country. Their arts are rapidly being

The United States and all the Governments of
North and South America have become inter-
ested within the last few years in these people,
and they are all making vigorous efforts to col
iect the materials necessary to put on record
in the history OF the New World the character
istlcs OF these ancient peoples. Among other
things, they have become intel ested in the col

country. All the governments of Central and
and South America and Mexico have passed
laws excluding foreigners from the investiga-
