A REMARKABLE BooK.-This is said to be year of remarkable books, but doubt less the most remarkable that will appear for some to come is Rev. T. Dewitt Tal- mage's new work on the "Life of Christ" and Palestine and it's People," Some idea of what the book contains and how it was prepared may be obtained by read ing the following extract from the doc- tors preface:
 "In my American home on the Atlan- tic, on Mediterranean, on camels back, on mules back, on horseback, under chandelier, by dim candle in tent, on Lake Galilee, in convent, at Bethel where Jacobs pillow was stuffed with dreams, and the angels of the ladder landed; at
 the brook Elah, from which little David
 picked up the ammunition of five smooth stones, four more than were needed for
 crushing like an egg-shell the skull of Goliath; in the valley of Ajalon, over
 which, at Joshua's command, astronomy halted; on the plain of Esdraelon, the
 battlefield of ages, it's long red flowers suggestive of the blood dashed to the bits of the horses bridles amid the shattered
 masonry of Jerico, in Jerusalem, that overshadows all other cities in reminis- cence, at Cana where plain water became festal beverage, on Calvary whose aslant and ruptured rocks still show the effects of the earthquake at the awful hem orrhage of the five wounds that purchased the worlds rescue, and with my hands mittened from the storm, or wet from. the Jordan, or barred to the sun, or gliding over smooth table, this book has been written"
 This book will certainly be worth read ing and preserving. It is not only life of Christ from an entirely new stand point but it is also a very interesting his tory of country and people who occupy a prominent place in the thoughts and feelings of all christian nations. The large number of excellent pictures of places and scenery in the Holy Land with l which the volume is illustrated, give it special interest and value. We cannot l all go to Palestine, but this elegant book, | through the aid of it's pictures and Dr. Talmage's wonderful descriptions accom-
 panying them, brings Palestine to our ! very doors. The book is indeed posi- | tive necessity to proper understanding
 of the Bible accounts of places and events We can understand and appreciate Bible
 history all the better when we see photo
 tographic representations of the places
 where this history was made. "From
 Manager to Throne'' marks a new era in
 the history of Bible Lands, and we are
 not surprised to learn that the demand
 for the book is phenomenal. It is sold on
 the exclusive territory basis, and persons
 desiring to secure agencies will find the

, TEMPTING FATE.-The Thirteen Club'' is New York organization which is try ing to wear out, by ridicule, few cur rent and more than usually silly super stitions.
 It has just held banquet at which diners at each table. Ladies were pres ent and each one received bouquet of thirteen beautiful roses as she entered. Over each table was suspended an um-. brella,-it is livery bad luck" to eat un- der an umbrella, it seems, and a candle was put beside each plate. Every one in entering the dinining room was compelled to pass under ladder, and was cautioned to ''be sure and look at the new moon over your left shoulder" A moon sur rounded with thirteen stars was conven- iently suspended in the hallway for this purpose. As soon as the seats were filled the electric lights were extinguished and the guests lighted their candles, so that the first one whose candle went out might know his or her fate as being the next to die. In the midst of the feast large mirror was allowed to fall from the wall and shiver on the floor, so as to insure to all concerned "seven years of bad luck. l" Moreover, "no guest was allowed to drink more than thirteen glasses of champagne. !"

in doing so you are apt to shed tears be- fore you get through. And yet, none of these people were hypocrites, and they meant all they said in every case, only they didn't say all they meant. But we are complex in our organism, and we take character from our environment; :; the person who speaks to us plays upon our nature as one does upon violin. Then let us not think harshly even when we go behind the scenes, but remember that people are honest, kindly, and "take them by and large" they usually mean to do as we'll as they can, "all things con- sidered. ."-Frances E.

True as Gold.

"The building of the proposed railroad from San Diego to Yuma will open up large mineral re- sources. Along the line of this new road are some very valuable mineral veins, and other deposits of economic value" San Fran cisco Chronicle.
 The above is true. Alamo with it's great gold mines, with it's s quartz mills now running, and that too within two years from the day that the crowd rushed over the hills to pick up the "Chispas," the Santa Clara and the Real del Castillo gold fields will all come in for their share of attention. The great beds of salt, saltpetre and borax, the great veins of mica, the mountains of alum and sulphur, of which it has been estimated, that there are a million tons of each, the immense belts of white, blue, black and varigated marble and onyx, the former of which can only be estimated by it's miles of length, and hundreds of feet in width; all will be adjacent to, and form part of the traffic of this, Yuna's new railroad line, and there is no good reason why Yuma so nicely situated on the bank of our Nile of the west, should not be the base of supplies for this vast trade and commerce.

Stores of Gold.

MT. George Cussenberry, who has been for five years near Yuma, Arizona, engaged in placer mining for gold, is visiting his brother, NIT. J. D. Cussenberry. Inde- pendence people may be found in nearly every venture which prom ises we'll, and with MT. Cussen- berry>are engaged his brother and Messrs. W. R. and c. E. Wilson. In the Yuma district are thous- ands of acres of gold gravel which requires a small investment.
 Many men with the old-fashion- ed washing pan and shovel dig out living from year to year, but are always poor and always see bright colored hope just ahead. MT. Ed. Wilson is at these mines overseeing the operation of the Pioneer mine, in which our local capitalists are interested. MT. Cussenberry contemplates remain ing until summer, and this week will make trip to Joplin, and thence to Morgan county, and compare lead mining in Missouri to gold mining i'll Arizona.-Sen- tinel, Independence, Mo.

Hue Cause of Grapes Blight.
 ing.

Robert McPherson, the cele- brated raisin grape grower of Cali fornia, has been busy the past two days examining the vineyards, in which the grapes had been report ed to be falling off the vines. He found some of them dropping off and gave his opinion of the cause. He says that vines in this country should not be irrigated during the forming of the grapes on the vine; that up to January the vines should have plenty of water and then after pruning them no more water should be put on the ground until the grapes are we'll set and are about the size of buckshot.-Phoenix Gazette.

WE most heartily congratulate the Yuma Times upon the grand strides of progress it is making, under the brilliant leadership of its present Military Commander in Chief, for at last it sees that the Peninsula railroad is going to be built from San Diego and San Quentin. (not from Ensenada, if you please sir,) to Yuma. Always heretofore when ever the SENTINEL has mentioned that company or the great work before it, the Poet Editor of that paper, has ridiculed or slurred at the idea. It's last issue fully en- dorses the fact that the Peninsula line is to be built.
 "Organized some months" pat it years, if you please sir, Lieutenant Commanding Editor, for that com pany's organization dates back about i've years.

Col. E. S. Babcock the well known proprietor of the Coronado Hotel, one of the largest in the world, and who also owns the controlling interest in Coronado, and in the San Diego and Coronado railroad, and who above any other one man, has been instrumental in securing the building of the rail- road from San Diego and San Quentin to Yuma, under date, of June llth, writes the SENTINEL from London. "The railroad will be built from San Quentin to Yuma. At the same time a branch from Tia Juana will be built to Valle Trinidad, to join the main line at that point" Tia Juana is l6 miles from San Diego. The Otai rail road connects the two places. Col Babcock's Coronado railroad runs within g miles of Tia Juana. He will extend 1t to a connection with the Yuma line at that place. This will give us a through line to San Quentin, San Diego, and to Coronado Beach.

Et Els Coming.

The great English iron steam ship Fulwell, $500 tons, will reach San Quentin, Lower California, early next month with 2000 tons of steel rails, two locomotives, 10 cars, spikes, fsh-plates, tools and other supplies for the Yuma and San Quentin Railway. F. A. Holdsworth IS the new General Manager. R. A. Graham is the contractor. Advices received by the SENTINEL from London say: MT. Holdsworth is one of our ablest and best railroad and busi- ness men,"
 The building of the road will be crowded as fast as men and money can do it. Col. E. $. B&bcock cabIed from London to Bryant Howard, President Of the Con- solidated National Bank, San Diego last week that the line from San Quentin and that from San Diego to Yuma, will both be built at the same time, aud will unite at Valle Trinidad. The Sun (San Diego) states that the car shops will be located at Yuma. This will be done from the fact that anthracite coal from Sonora can be laid down here cheaper than at any other point on the line.
