agement are numerous. A notable fea.
ture that attracted especially the atten.
ton of the young is a fine large lionesa
with her three cubs, one after another
OF which she carries by the neck a good
portion of the time. The hippSpotami
formed q chief center of interest, and
the dwarf cows came next in the line oi
curiosities that had the largest crowd
about them.
In the great tent were two rings and q
central stage, and performances of O
varied character went on in all these
places, and sometimes as many as five
simultaneously. OF course this treblinq
and more of acts is economic of time,
but it is trying upon the spectator who
attempts to follow them all. Yetif one
confines his attention TO what goes on
in single ring, he is treated to as mich
entertainment as the old time circuses
afforded.

We HAVE seen very labored articles re-
Gently in the papers, in which the idea
is insisted upon that Europe will not pay
US for our surplus grain in gold, but in
bills of exchange that will represent i'm
portations from countries that have a
balance If sales against US. But "Old
Hutch" the renowned grain dealer OF
Chicago, who has made and lost dozen
fortunes, has a very different idea OF the
matter. In an article in the last North
American Review, on the subject OF
Speculation in wheat" he takes very
optimistic view of the business situation
in this country. and is especially certain
that we shall be paid in money for our
wheat. He says:
There is no doubt that gold will come
to the United States from Europe in ex-
change for grain. Some writers cay that
Europe will send us goods instead OF
money; but goods are not legal tender,
and do not see why we should take
goods as payment unless we want eucE
kind of payment. This money will per-
meate all the channels of business, Gre
ate great prosperity, and stimulate all
sorts of speculation, healthy and un-
healthy. A great many people will have
money who do not know how to use it
therefore they will lose it. These sums
of money, as they are being tossed about
hither and thither, will eventually be
lodged in the hands of men who know
how to get and to keep capital. The
years 1891 90, with their wheat crop,
viii represent memorable era in trade
history

IMMIGRATION MATTERS.
The Southern Counties to Organize 70
Systematic Work.

The Southern Counties to Organize for
Systematic Work.
For weeks the press of the state has
teemed with information relative to the
organization OF an immigration bureau
t San Francisco. The time was set for
the holding OF convention in that city,
and every county in the state was
invited and urged to send representa-
tives to it.
At first the proposition seemed to
strike every body favorably, but as the
days and weeks passed, it became evil
dent that it was to be simply an organ
lied effort to induce all eastern people
to locate in central and northern Cali
fornia, and that the Union Pacific was
backing it with the hope of securing the
lions share of travel aud attendant
freighte.
That is a pretty nice scheme and dem
onstrates that our up country neighbors
are arousing from their Rip Van Winkle
slumbers and propose doing something
on their own account, but it go happens
that the people OF this southern coun-
try, the creme de la creme of the Pacific
coast country, are neither dead nor
sleeping and that they are still able
to keep a watchful eye open to business.
In the sweet very soon the six coun-
ties of Southern California will hold a
convention in Los Angeles, and proceed
to take practical steps in the matter of
immigration interests, and in this they
are quite certain to be backed by the
great Santa F6 Railroad company. Thus
it will be seen that Southern California
etill feels abundantly able to take care,
and good care OF her own interests.-

The angry waves of Lake Michigan lashed
the shore and their sullen grumblina
formed background. as it were, to the
solemn stiffness that cavorted, 80 to speak,
up and down the little back parlor where
two young persons sat facing each other.
"Fora Bunkerill, may ! ask you ques-
tionP" a4.
"Mr. Leezer, it would be better, perhaps,
II you did not"
The solemn stiffness had set in immedt
ateiy after this brief conversation and was
reverberating yet
Upon his face Jenkinson Leezcr wore the
aspect of man who had bet on the wrong
horse, but who was used to it and had q
few shekels and round trip ticket left.

that surged and circumgyrated in his bos.

platively, '"but the oyster season Is Just be-

She laughed seornfully.
s'You may laugh" he continued, putting
on his overcoat and taking his hat, 'but

night"
Jenkinson Leezer went out into the hall
out through the front door, down the steps
and out at the front gate, where he stop
ped. Then, looking carefully about him
to be sure he was unobserved, he took from
his pocket short steel awl with blunt
handle, and deep into the wood Of the gate
post he scratched this legend:

An IMPROVEMENT IN STREET SEWER
AGE.

An improvement in the laying OF
sewer pipes has been introducedin Oak
land which it would be well to adopt
here. Instead OF laying in the middle
OF the street a sewer pipe large enough
to carry all the sewage of the street, two
smaller pipes are laid, one under the gut
terway alongside OF each curb. Although
the cost of laying two small pipes is
greater than putting down one large
pipe, yet it is covered or nearly covered,
bv the economy in the cost of the lateral
pipes connecting the houses with the
single sewer. II street is sixty feet
wide from curb to curb, lateral pipe
thirty feet in length must be laid to
connect each ho1se with the sewer; go
thatsthere is actually about one-half the
money spent for lateral connection that
there is for the street sewer. But the
benefit does not stop at this. Instead
Of having 10 break up street after it
has been nicely paved for the purpose OF
putting in lateral connections, it is only
necessary to take up the granite blocks
in the cutters in order to reach the
sewer and make tn, Sc connections.
With the single sewer pipe the pave
ment in the street must be necessarily
disfgured by tearing it up for these lat
eral connections; and everybody knows
that the paving can never be so relaid
as to make it look smooth and even as it
did before it was torn up. 1t is GER
tainly worth something to the city, as
we'll as to the property holder, to have
sewer pipes laid in way which will do
away with the need of tearing up neatly
paved streets TO reach them. As street
work will be greatly stimulated by the
law authorizing property-holdeIs to pay
for. IL in installments, this is proper
time for the council to consider the
economy and advantages to accrue from
the gutter-pipe sewer plan.

THE suiCideof General .BouIanger ends

The suicide of General Boulanger ends
a career that might have been credit
able to himself and useful to France.
Never has the maxim that forbids mili,E
tary men from meddling with politics
been more forcibly illustrated in its dis
astrous effects than in the downfall Of
General Boulanger. A weak, vain man,
he permitted designing politicians to
work upon his ambition, and contem-
plated, through his position in the
army and at the head of faction, the
overthrow of the republic. He was not
deep enough. nor cunning enough to
cover up hls designs. He had ventured
into the black pool of intrigue far be-
yond his depth, and was left to founder
helplessly by those who had egged him
on. Had France been in the grasp Of
less firm, resolute and keen-sighted
men than she was, this vain general
might have plunged her into fatal
troubles at time when she needed all
her care, conservatism and self contain
ment to keep steadily on the course
which will lead her to position OF COM
maDdiDg strength to meet the ravenous
enemies with which she is surrounded,

CHAPTER III.

Whether or not malevOlent spirits have
power Of Interference in human affairs
is al open question; but certain it is
that, to pTina facic view, events can at
times arrange themselves with a malig-
naut disregard Of individual needs and
desires which would leave nothing to the
invention of the most perverse devil the
imagination could cOnjuTe up. Also
certain is it that everlasting truths auent
the memorable interplay of circumstance
and environment and the operation of
Interchangeable laws fail of the recOgni-
ton and reverence they merit when in
terplay and action combine to knock the
foundations from under a mans per
sonal calculations. And the individual
thus stranded is n good deal more apt to
blaspheme like a stevedOre than to ac-
cept the situation like a rational and
scientific gentleman.
