OLD FASHIONED HARVESTING
Picturesque Farming in California In
the FOrties.

Picturesque Farming in California In
the FOrties.
General Bidwell in the December century.Io
Harvesting, with the rude imple-
men is, was scene. Imagine three or
four hundred wild Indians in field
armed, some with sickles, some with
butcher knives, some with pieces OF
hoop iron roughly fashioned into
shapes like sickles, butmany have on
" their hands with which to gather
by small handfuls the dry and brittle
grain; and as their hands would soon
become sore, they resorted to dry will
low sticks, which were split to afford a
sharper edge with which to sever the
straw. But the widest part was the
threshing. The harvest of weeks, some
times q month, was piled up in the
straw in the form of huge mound in
the middle of q high, strong, round
corral; then three or four hundred wild
Indians were turned in to thresh II, the
Indians whooptng to make them run
faster. Suddenly they would dash in
before the horses at full speed, when
the motion became reversed, with the
effect of plowing up the trampled straw
to the very bottom. In an hour the
grain would be thoroughly threshet
and the dry straw broken almost intt
chaff. In this manner l have seen TIVE
thousand bushels of wheat threshed il
a single hour. Next came the winnow
ing, which would often take anothe
month. It could only be done whel
| the wind was blowing, by throwing
high into the air shovelfuls of grain
straw, and chaff, the lighter material
being waited to one side, while tn
grain, comparatively clean: would de
scend and form q heap by itself. In thi
manner all the grain in California wa
cleaned. At that day no such thing q
| tanning mill had ever been brough
to this coast.

onenslre Partisanship.

The Massillou, Ohio, manufacturers
who cut down the wages of some OF
their workmen who voted against Nc
Kinley now explain their course by
saying that they did this not to punish
the men for voting as they pleased, but
to rebuke them for their partisan zeal
in the matter, which their employers
regard as offensive"
The explanation does not justify the
act. Every workingman who Is On
American citizen has as good right as
his employer has to be jealous and ac-
tive in politics. His partisanship Is no
more "offensive" than that of the men
who owns the shop In which he works,
and for an employerto "put on airs" in
the matter and assume to dictate to
the extent to which workingmeni In his
employ may concern themselves with
politics Is an insolence SO arrogant that
workingmen of all parties, and all 9TH
er citizens for that matter who respect
manhood and citizenship, indistinct-
lively and bitterly resent it.-Er.

laLLED BY A VAMPIRE.
A Little Girl in venezueIa Found
Dead.
[AtlsntA Consultation

lAaeuAa OouaAAthtauAsl
Mrs. Cornelius Rainwater, of Savan-
nah, Ga, received recently a letter
from her brother, James Uhl, who Is
engaged in the wholesale coffee busi-
ness in Calabose, Venezuela, In which
letter he gave an account Ofthe singu-
lar death of his daughter last Septem-
Der. The young lady, who had just
completed her seventeenth year, had
been q somnambulist from childhood
and 1t is supposed that it was while In
one OF her frequent frances that she
left the house and wandered several
miles out into the country. She was
missed, and, on being searched for, was
at last found near the roadside dead,
with large vampire clinging to her
throat.
The bat, at the approach Of the
searchers, rose from the body OF Its vic
tim and attempted to fly off, but was so
gorged with blood aa to be unable to
make its escape, and was shot by one
Of the party. The placidity Of the
young lady's countenapce showed that
her death had been q painless one, and
it is probable that it was not until she
sank down, still fast asleep, that the
vampire fastened upon her. A small
wound, resembling the puncture of q
large needle, just over hejugular vein,
marked where the small white teeth
had liberated the blood which it had
then sucked, all the while soothing its
victim to deeper sleep by gentle, lull-
ing movement of its outspread wings,
which is the habit of these creatures.
The one which killed Miss Uhl was
unusually large, measuring three feet
and some inches from the tip of one
wing to that of the other, aud, while
its weight would naturally have been
ten or twelve pounds, it was 30 engorg-
ed that 1t was found to weigh some
thing over twenty.

The Perpetual Borrower.

OF course you have encountered this
pest. He is more prevalent than the
man who smokes in d car, and quite rs
annoying. He borrows your penknife,
your raz0rs, your buttonhoOks, your
writing utensils, your umbrella, and
would borrow your toothpick and your
toothbrush, If the usages OF society ad-
mitted of their double occupancy" !"
What you lend him goes, as rule, to
that bourne from which no traveller
returns. Not that he is dishonest, but
he considers himself as a sort of PEN
sioner upon the world at large for min
or conveniences, and has no idea that
their restoration is expected. AS he Ia
usually a good-natured fellow, who
would give you anything he had If he
had anything to give. you don't like to
snub him, and so he passes through life
| in his shiftless. careless way, uncon-
scious of his dement's a tolerated nui-
sance.
Willingly would you raise a sub :
scription, heading the list OF doners
yourself to fnrpish him with all he bor-
rows. But Ii would be useless. There
ia no tenacity In his ship-shod nature.
Whatever you might give him would
slip through his fingers. Besides, your
professional borrower of small chatties
prefers loan or gift. So far as your
personal comfort is concerned, 1t is best
to meet his application for loans with
an emphatic ano." He is not pertinac-
ious. A few rebuffs will suffice. He
knows very well thatif you won't sup
ply the article he wants, somebody else
will that If youeare "mean," there are
others who are generous"

VAN CLEAF'S PREDICTION.
Cleveland for President-McKinley
for Governor.

Cleveland for President-McKinley
for Governor.
Senator Van Cleaf, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, thinks
the Democrats will carry Ohio next
year.
"But for the condition of things In
Hamilton county," said he, tive would
have carried the state this year. Ry.
ans plurality outside of Hamilton
county is only 250O."
"What caused the falling off in the
Republican vote in Ohio?"
"The Mckinley bill had much to do
with it, and Republican dissatisfaction
with Harrison's administration also
had its effects"
"Will the Republicans nominate Nc
Kinley for governor
at looks that way"
"How does Cleveland stand In Ohio@
every we'll. He made an excellent
impression at the Thurman banquet
and his address was one Of the best
ever heard. My opinion is sthat that he
will be the Democratic nominee fol
president in 49,"

Agents VS.. Farmers.

n In another column is an account OF the
lightning rod fends attempting to "do' an
honest farmer Of this county. lie failed but
only through the indominitable pluck of the
intended victim. Farmers should consider well
before taking mp with any sch eme proposed
By strangers. Not that all strangers are dis
honest and intend to beat yen, for they are
not, but it so happens that theexcess OF trick
sters about the country makes it difficult for
Q man with plain legitimate business to do
business at all, especially with the farming
element, while men we'll skilled in guile,
and we might say, mesmerism, have no diff
fculty in finding victims. Nine cases out OF
ten will an honest man fare roughly at the
hands Of man who through far-sightedness
will fall in the pitfall dug by the first swind.er
who comes around. Yet they are hardly to be
blamed. A man who can make the best plea
will invariably came out ahead although his
cause be wrong. Lightning rod business is
fast becoming hazardous owing to frequent
expossls and rest assured a man who dares
embark in such IS we'll up in the arts of guile
and wire pulling. We would not advise peo-
