in London in 1888, the sale
was completed by his representative

AN ADROIT DIPLOMAT.
Ingenious Escape of the Brazilian Min
lister co Germany From Dilemma.

Ingenious Escape of the Brazilian Min
lister 60 Germany From Dilemma.
From the Evening Telegram.
From Berlin there comes a story of tact,
which may be apocryphal. but which sounds
like the truth.
Germany not having yet formally recog-
nized the republic of Brazil, the Brazilian
minister is in a stew of embarrassment. He
has not received his passports, and he really
represents the republic while all court
communications are addressed to him as
minister of His Majesty the Emperor Of
Brazil"
A few weeks ago it became absolutely
necessary for him to write to the Berlin
authorities relative to party of German
emigrants starting for Brazil, and the
document is alleged to have been couched
in these Delphic words:
During the unavoidable absence of Dom
Pedro from his states, the official affairs of
Brazil are conducted by ministry for
whom l have the honor to acquaint YOU
with their iustruc IONS"
Chancellor Caprivi is said to have laughed
heartily when he read the letter, and En-
peror William himself was equally amused.

JOSEPH NJ. DUNCAN.
Sudden Death of an Estimable Citizen
Yesterday.

Joseph M. Duncan, native of Cali
fornia, thirty-fve years Of age, BON in
San Francisco, departed this life yester-
day afternoon at O'Clock. Mr.. Duncan
was young man of exceptionally pre-
possessing appearance, of pleasant ad-
dress and genial manner. He was high
ly esteemed by all who knew him, and
his death will be deeply regretted by a
large circle of friends.
Although indisposed for couple of
days. his death came suddenly, with
hardly a moments notice, the only con-
soling fact being that he passed away
painlessly
Mr.. Duncan has been a citizen of Los
Angeles for seven years, and was con-
nected in business with his father. The
fact that his wife is on a visit to her
mother in San Francisco adds to the
sadness of this mournful occurrence.
Mrs. J. NJ Duncan was called to San
Francisco by illness in the family, but
is expected here tomorrow. Arrange
ments for the interment will be made
on the arrival of the bereaved wife,
Mr.. Duncan was member of Los
Angeles Lodge No. AZ, f. and A. M,
under the auspices of which the funeral
will be held.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-12

J. F. Isbell, the Jehu of the day. 1t is
the old E. B. Grandin place of forty
acres, all set to trees. There are orange
and walnut trees here eighteen years
old.
One of the walnut trees was measured
on the spot with tape line. 1t was
seventy-seven inches in circumference
at the ground, while the spread OF the
boughs was % feet on one side and 2S1a
feet on the other. From an acre OF
orange trees two years ago Mr.. lsbell
sold 700 boxes of fruit. There are more
on them this year.
And now to sum up:
Walnut trees will begin to bear at six
years old, if they are the soft shell varl-
ETY.. They will increase in bearing until
they are twenty years old. Some two
year-old trees were found with fruit on
yesterday. At eight or ten years old,
the trees bear we'll. Those fourteen to
sixteen years old this year have on fifty
to two hundred pounds to the tree. At
the prices ruling this year, the crop will
bring in $50 to $500 an acre. The
orchards in the valleys that are twelve
to sixteen years old will probably aver
age this year 5000 an acre.
Very little of this land is for sale.
The owners wish to sell, as five to
twenty acres is sufficient to hold; but
prices are not high enough yet. They
regard their lands as worth over 81 900
an acre when in bearing. Mr.. Isbell,
who knows all the country we'll, and is
in the real estate business, says there are
only half score of pieces for sale.
Some of these are offered at dead bar
gains for one reason or other. In some
cases we'll set pieces are offered at about
5000 per acre; but as rule the old set
tiers will not sell as things are now.
The association has ordered 1000 sacks
for the walnut crop, and there are per-
haps 5000 sacks outside the association.
They are worth to the growers at least
81 a sack. Thus this one crop will
bring to the place, of less than three
miles in circuit, $40, 900 this year.

How to Cure the Group.

Mrs Samuel Mutt, of South Haven, Kansas,
tells how she saved the life of her boy.
~ have been using ALLcocK's PoRoUs PLAs-
TIERS for the last ten years, principally for Il
weak back. Not long ago found my son very
much inclined to Group. He had a bad croupy
cough, and wheeling sound in his lungs every
time he breathed. He nearly died from the OBJ
struction of the throat. / covered him from
the throat to the pit OF the stomach with ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs. In two hours the
cough ceased, and his breathing was much
easier. In few days he was entirely well. 1
kept the ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs on him
six days. Since then, whenever he is affected
with colds in the throat, never use anything
but anALLcoCK's Porous PLASTER, which cures
him Immediately, without any inconvenience.
They are The best preventive of the Group ever
known, and would not be without them for
any consideration"

OLD OCEANS PREY.
ABBOTT CANTERBURY DROWNED
AT LONG BEACH.
Driven Down by Overwhelming Breakers
He Never Rises Again-His Wife Sees
the Accident.

Another bathing fatality occurred at
Long Beach yesterday morning, the
victim being Mr.. Abbott Canterbury of
Redlands, who was on visit to that
popular watering place with Mrs. Canter-
bury and his family. Shortly before II
O'Clock Mr.. and Mrs. Canterbury and a
young lady friend waded into the surf,
laughing gaily as the waves broke at
their feet. After remaining in the water
for some time, Mr.. Canterbury ac-
companied the ladies back to shore, but
Immediately returned for a swim.
Wading out until the water was almost
breast high, he plunged through a
breaker and commenced to swim in
the troubled water The tide
was running out and up the coast like a
mill race, but being fairly good swim
mer, Mr.. Canterbury kept on through
the breakers in an evident attempt to
reach the smooth water beyond them.
Finally, however, he gave up the fight,
and turning around commenced to swim
to the shore again. The breakers were
very heavy, but he successfully
evaded them, and dozen more strokes
would have placed him in COM
paratlve safety, when a line of water
higher than those which preceded it,
rolled in behind him, curled and broke,
with report like that of artillery, right
on top of him. From that moment he
was never again seen alive. Mrs. Can
terbury was the first to notice his dis
appearance under the angry water, but
confident of her husbands strength and
proficiency in the art OF swimming, it
never occurred to her that he had sunk
for the last time.
After lapse of about fifteen minutes
she suddenly remembered that she had
not seen her husband leave the water,
and she at once enquired at the bath
house, and her worst fears were realized,
when she found that he had not yet
asked for his key.
Alec. Aikman, the bath house keeper,
on learning of Canterbury's disappear
ance, at once dashed into the surf, but
after swimming about for some
time, he returned. After a short
rest, Aikman made another attempt
to find the missing man, this
time accompanied by r. E. Lansdown
of the pavilion. Both returned almost
exhausted after fruitless search, and
several fishermen went out with seine,
but they also failed to find the body
and nothing remained but to wait for
the sea to give up it's dead. Mrs. Can
terbury was completely Frustrated with
grief, and the shock she sustained.
