NEW CALIFORNIA FRUITS.
Their Arrival In the Markets of the
East
From the Philadelphia Ledger

From the Philadelphia Ledger.1
The Tragedy Prune" variety of plums
from California is beginning to arrive.
They are of good size, oblong shape and of
a beautiful blue color. A. B. Detwiler of
South Front street, who is largely engaged
in the California fruit trade, saws these
plums promise to be the best fayorite va.
riety grown. They sell at present at from
S4 To S4 so box of about one.thirtl of a
bushel. The well-known egg and green
gage plums, of size that California only
can produce, are also coming in. They sell
at dollar less box than the pruue plum.
Bartlett pears from California are also be-
ginning to arrive. They are of a size usual
at the commencement of the season, but
advices are to the effect that the main crop
will be finer than ever this year. Peaches
were rather scarce last week, on account of
the prevalence of hot weather in the West,
the journey over the plains to Chicago
causing them to rot badly on this account !;
but, as the heated wave is over, they are
expected in full supply and of increased
size and improved quality in the course of
few days. Those in market during the
week sold at So rs and $3 box.
The apricot season is nearing its end and
the supply now in the market is said to he
the finest yet received. Owing to their
scarcity the price has advanced to So so and
81 10 box, and may be higher yet. Cher.
ries from California are also about over.
after seasons supply of the largest in size
and quantity. better in quality and cheaper
In price the East has ever received.
Nectarines are about due and grapes are
looked for IN about three weeks. 1t is said
that the fruit crops of California were never
larger than they have been this year.

CAN it be that the law of Minnesota is
as stated by telegraph, that no inquest on
dead body can be held In that State un-
less there are outward marks Of violence
on the body? If such is the law there, it
is the hight of absurdity, and the Legisla-
ture enacting it must have been hand in
glove with poisoners and other murderers
who leave no outward marks of their
damnable work, or else was unpardonably
stupid. How about criminal abortion ?
How about starvation under imprison-
ment? How about suffocation after the
manner performed by Shakespeare's Moor?
How about death by noxious gases? The
very purpose of an inquest should be to
ascertain the cause of death in any and
every case where a physician cannot give
a certificate of death from disease. The
object is to ascertain il, behind the death,
there is crime or blameworthiness. Min
nesotans should repeal their absurd law as
soon as possible.

HIts not that, sir. You would feel BIT
ter if you had been treated as l have by
the woman you loved. Pve tried to forget
her. / have cursed her with the most aw-
full oaths could think Of / have worked
hard day and night, and been in Indian
fights, and on long and dreary marches
across the Western prairies, and l can't
drive off my mind the sound of two
voices"
sTwo voices ?"
"First, when in the little New Hamp-
shire village folded the bIushing Nancy
in my arms and told her | loved her and
asked her if she would marry me. And
she was all of tremble, but when / bent
my head down low so that my face brushed
against the little curls on her forehead she
looked into my eyes and whispered softly,
Yes, dear"
"Ahw
"And again when she tore the little
Nance, my pet, out of my arms and set off
to lead life of sin with that cursed
man, the little Nance cried out, Papa,
dearr
"And you let her go?"
81 could not help it. 1t was best so.
But all these years, in the din of battle,
when the balls were flying through the
smoky air and tomahawks were brandished
and Indians yelling on our fianks or on
the dreary marches over the plain, or in
the night watches, that whisper of Yes,
DEAR or that cry of Papa, DEAR have rung
again and again in my ear"
And where are you going now?" 1
asked
"Back ts see the little home where we
were once so happy. Back to see if can
learn where little Nance is and if she's
happy and well. Not to interfere with her
life, but only to know if she has become a
good woman"
"And then"
II shall enlist again"
There was rustling in the seat beside
me. The little woman in black who had
been sitting in the corner with a veil
drawn closely about her face bent forward.
Her arms stole about the little old soldiers
neck in full view Of the astonished passen-
gers.
"Jack," | heard her whisper, "can you
forgive me? This is Nancy. l loved YOU
all the time, but that man got the better of
me. | could not resist him, but l hated
him. And, oh Jack, have been SO mis-.
erablew
'Where is little Nance ?" he asked, turn
ing upon her.
"Hushp' she whispered. ''That is her
across the aisle. The one in the fnr-
trimmed dress, the mother of that curly
headed girl. She is happily married,
Jack. She does not know me and she does
not know you. Don't you think it is best
SOP"
She looked appealingly into his face,
and l saw the tears running down her
cheeks.
Just then the train stopped at a station.
"Come," he exclaimed, and they left the
car; but just before the train started again
the little old soldier came in and took the
curly-headed little girl in his arms and
kissed her pretty mouth. She was not
alarmed. She was his granddaughter.
Then with parting glance at the fair
young mother he jumped off the moving
train.

ing the value of the books is in the paper

GRAND IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Vast Tracts of Land in Nevada to be
Irrigated.

Irrigated.
From the San Francisco Bulletin
Little is known, locally, regarding the ir-
rigation syndicate project mentioned in
special Washington dispatches. 1t is known
that number of New Workers, as well as
several Pacific coast men, are interested in
the scheme, which is to have capital of
many millions. A Southern Pacific official,
well Informed on such matters, saws that
without doubt Senator Stewart of Nevada
is one of the originators of the project.
which is nothing more Or less than a eiean.
tic water company. Whether the project
contemplates securing arid lands for irriga-
hon or simply arranging for supplying
water for use by others for reclamation, is
unknown, but the presumption is that at
first only water supply matters will be con.
sidered. Experience in Arizona and at
some points in this State has shown that
ventures which supply land with water for
lrlgatlon are not as profitable, relatively,
as are real estate projects which leave the
water supply for the purchaser to arrange
as best he may. That is. and Land AGENT
Mills of the Central Pacific is Authority fdf
the observation, there has not been the de-
mand of late for land with water owing to
the higher price necessitated, than for
chaaper land where water for irrigation is
to be sought for after purchase.
at meeting last week of the Nevada
State Board of Trade, f. G. Newlands. of
this city, who is President of that BODY.
said that he had been making csretul
study of the subject of water storage on
both the Tfuckee and Carson rivers. and
that it was his opinion that enterprises
could be iDaugurated either by the State or
by water districts organized along each
river which would open UP to cultivation
within five years at least 10000 acres. He
said that as to the Truckee river the ones
tion OF the storage of water had BEEN al.
most solved; that outside of Lake Tahoe
he had secured, with the approval of the
local committee, almost all the reservoir
sites essential to the completion of the
storage system. and that when water dis
trlct is formed by the incoming Legisla
ture he proposed to turn over such p.op.
critics to the district at cost He said that
he had secured in addition to the storage
system about 1000 acres from the State.
which he proposed also TO turn over to
such district, and that he intended TO pur-
chase more. as to the Carson river. he
stated that water storage there is much
more expensive than on the Truckee. but
that bitches were much less expensive.
that there were three excellent reservoir
sites on that river, one in Douglas county.
another in Ormsby and q third in Lvon
which are capable of storing large ausnti-
ties of water. He thought that the State
Irrigation commissioners ought to take
hold OF the matter, and should expend the
Sl0O, 900 appropriated at the last Legislature
and such other sums as might be subse.

A fish of most peculiar appearance, the
like OF which has never been seen by any
OF the many fisherman who have inspected
it, was recently exhibited at Pensacola,
Fla. 1t was caught in the guls with hook
and line and is about FIVE feet in length.
The body is similar TO that of dolphin,
and it has bill like needle fish. The
tail is forked and has two immense fins
rising from the back. They are of a soft
bony substance and are of such peculiar
formation that they give the fish the APP
pearance OF having flowing name. 1t is
rare tish, and if possible should be pre-
served as curiosity.
