THE vagaries of the weather this sea
son are extraordinary and unprece-
dented. Nothing could have been more
certain, taking the atmospheric condi
tions into consideration, than that we
should have had heavy downpour yes
terday afternoon. But all at once that
fearful and persistent north wind put in
an appearance, and the rain clouds were
driven away in short order. This has
been the case every time this winter
when it has rained or been on the verge
of raining. The north wind has
been our meteorological Nemesis.
1t never came so often or re-
manned so long as it has this
season, in our recollection. Indeed,
it would seem as if it had
changed its locale and left Sacram ento
valley to infest the southern counties.
But We do not for moment doubt that
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-24

the atmosphere, which is really sur
charged with moisture, will overcome
the attacks of the north wind, and give
US copious rains in season to insure
good crops. We can stand the absence
of rains for month yet without seri-
GUS injury. 1t is true there will not be
time to pillow and seed SO large an acre
age as we would wish; but that which
is titled will yield very bounteous crops
with the usual fall OF moisture after
New Years.

SPROULE NON-SUITED.
A Case Promptly Disposed of by Judge
Mckinley.

A Case Promptly Disposed of by Judge
Mckinley.
The damage suit brought by J. B.
Sproule to recover $4,000 from the Tenn
ple-street Cable railway company for
injuries received owing to alleged care
lessness on the part OF the company
was brought to an abrupt termination
yesterday morning, Judge Mckinley
granting the defendants motion for a
non-suit.
Sproule was driver of delivery wagon
belonging to grocery firm, and in
driving across the company's track the
wheels OF the vehicle broke through the
planking between the rails and threw
him out. He was injured quite severe
ly, and remained in hospital for some
time.
The company paid his expenses at
the hospital, and gave him small
amount of cash, for which they took a
receipt. That receipt lost him the case,
for as soon as his testimony was closed,
counsel for the defense made his motion
for non-sut. The court granted it for
the reason that Sproule had already ac-
cepted money and receipted therefor.
The court held that he could not recover
without first resembling that receipt.

Keeping Up Her Rep.

Toledo seems to be keeping along
with Findlay for sensational news. On
Monday last married woman was
taken to house where she had secured
Il room and shortly after reaching the
place, she stealth lily entered an out
house where she gave birth to a healthy
female child, wrapped it in one of her
skirts, and dropped it down in the
vault where it died from suffocation.
The unnatural mother is very i'll, but
will propably recover, and is being
closely guarded by the police and will
be made to answer the charge of
infanticide.
On the evening OF the same day a
young man in Il fit of dependency,
caused by being out of employment,
walked out into the back yard of his
fathers residence, and with shot gun
blew the top of his head entirely off,
scattering his brains in all directions
and producing very sickening sight
Another man committed suicide by
taking a dose Of Belladonna, and SAID
he did it because his 'best friend wen
back on him, but refused to state who
the friend was.

Advices from China give an idea
why the loss of life is so large in cases
OF calamity in that country. There is
a deep rooted idea among the Chinese
that the saving of life involves the
acceptance of responsibility for the dis
position of the man or women saved.
Hence no effort is made to save life in
jeopardy, but the rule is that the sur
vivors loot the property and remains
of the dead. This was the cause
assigned for 22O people perishing from
steamer in Chinese waters within 90
feet of shore. Cupidity and heartless-
ness combined to permit them to perish.

TAtIFF ON ICE.
A Toledo Ice Company Sends Petition


The Spring Lake ice company of
Toledo, has sent a petition to congress,
accompanied by the following self
explanatory letter to Congressman
Mckinley:
The Hon. William Mckinley, Jr.,
House of Representatives, Washing
ton, ID. @.
DEAR SIR: We enclose you apetit-
ion for the imposition of tariff duty
on ice. We are certainly entitled to
the benefit of such duty and confiden-
TALLY rely ON your efforts to further
the interests of an industry employing
many thousands of Americans. Under
ordinary circumstances, of course, very
little foreign ice is imported, but the
mild winters and scarcity of ice have
made the Canadian formidable competi-
tors. Approaching the great efforts
you have made in behalf of other
industries, and confidently believing
that the American people show a
proper appreciation thereof, we ask a
similar action for ourselves. Very
truly yours,
THE SPRING LAKE Ice COMPANY,
BY l.. J. SEEK, President.
The petition claims that the Ice
trade is liable to be ruined by the
importation of cheap Canadian ice,
and asks that Congress imposes a duty
OF 200 per cent. upon foreign ioe, and
also asks that the petition be granted
Immediately.

A writer to the Toledo News from
Bowling Green seems to have consider
able sorrow on his mind over the pros
pective candidacy of M. P. Brewer OF
the Sentinel for the legislature, and
tries to carry the idea that there is a
quarrel in the Sentinel Office as to
whether Brewer or Rudolph should
make the effort. Rudulph would be a
very handsome legislator and would
make stunning appearance, but
Brewers gall would be more effective
when it came down to business.

The Blooming Oleander.

Texas is a marvellous state. as have
had occasion to say before. There are
sixteen kinds OF climate and a million
kinds of fora and fauna in this vast
empire. Cotton grows in great abund-
ance in almost all parts Of the state,
and at Galveston figs, bananas, oranges
and lemons are to be seen growing as
naturally as potatoes. At Galveston
the oleander is the natural hedge. In
stead of having to carry this fragile
Scandinavian down cellar every Novem-
Der in a large green tub, it is left out
by the citizen OF Galveston just as the
Michigan man does his thrashing ma
chine, to buffet the storms of winter
and to come up smiling in the spring.

Good Teams and Good Farming.

1t is truer now than ever before that
no good farming is possible without
good working horses. Their original
cost is much greater, but it is only by
help that the full advantage of efficient
help can be realized. Good farmers
are the first to realize this. If the
farmer be himself lazy and inefficient
he will naturally conclude that it does
not matter much what kind OF horses
he works with. We are not wholly
sure he is not half right in this conclu-
sion. Hence when we see farmer
blowing or doing other farm work
with an old, inefficient and perhaps
half-starved team, it is proper enough
to suppose that such farmer under
stands his business better than we can
tell him. and knows best what kind of
team he wants to keep up with. OF
course the best teams grow old in time,
but horses active life is not half nor
a third that of an efficient man, and
when the team gets past doing n full
days work, it should be disposed of
and another secured that is fully capa-
BILE. But if the loss from working in
efficient teams We're better understood.
it would be much harder to sell old or
poor horses than it is.

REMEMBRANCE OF CROCKETT
How He Was Killed 1T the Alamo Fifty
Five Years Ago.

How He Was Killed At the Alamo Fifty.
Five Years Ago.
Remember the Alamor' Was one
of the battle-cries in the Mexican war
that never failed to arouse Texans to
the highest pitch of martial ardor.
And we'll it might, for it reminded
them OF the massacre, almost un-
equaled in atrocity, in which lao OF
their fellow citizens were slain by
Mexicans. Alamo was fort in Bexar
county Tex. 1t covered an acre OF
ground and was oblong in shape.
The walls were eight or ten feet high
and three feet thick. 1t was called
Alamo. which in Spanish means
poplar, from the fact that grove Of
these trees stood near it. February
%. 1886. Mexican forces numbering
about 1900. commanded by Santa
Ana and four generals. appeared.
The Texans were under the COM
mand OF Colonel Travis, Colonel David
Crockett, the famous hunter, and
Colonel Bowie. They saw it was use-
less to fight the enemy out in the open,
and retired within the Alamo. where
they raised the national flag. formed
OF thirteen red and white stripes on a
blue ground with large white star
in the center.
The Mexicans took possession OF the
town and established batteries on both
sides OF the San Antonio river. A
summons to surrender was rejected by
the Texans. and then the lombard
ment began. 1t lasted for twenty-four
hours without cessation, and no less
than 200 shells fell within the fort
but not a man was hurt. Neither
were the walls injured to any extent
by the furious FIRE. The Texans, who
were nearly all experts in the use OF
the rifle, stood on the ramparts and
picked off scores Of men of the enemy.
The Mexicans made assault after as
sault, but without success.
On March 8 the intrepid Texans
were nearly out Of provisions. and
their health had been undermined by
the constant strain, but in response to
an appeal by Colonel Travis they re-
solved to fight to the death. On the
morning OF March 6 combined and
OetermlncO AtCack On tno IOrJ was
made by the Mexicans. Twice they
were driven back with heavy loss, but
their superiority in numbers proved
too much for the heroes OF the fort.
The Texans, not having time to load.
dubbed their rifles and fought until
only six OF them were left alive.
These, including Crockett, surrend-
cred, but by Santa Ana's orders they
were cut in pieces. Crockett was
pierced through the breast by dozen
swords; Colonel Bowie, who was ill in
bed. was shot after he had killed sew
eral OF his assailants, and Major Evans
was riddled with bullets while in the
act OF firing the powder magazine.
All the bodies of the slain Texans were
gathered together in the center OF the
fort, horribly mutilated and then burned.
This was the act which not long after
led to the defeat OF the whole Mexican
army by the enraged Texans and the
final independence OF the Lone Star
state.

REVEALED A DREAM.
How q Father Of Boy in Gray Recovered
His Sons Remains.

How q Father Of q Boy in Gray Recovered
His Sons Remains.
One of the bloodiest battles fought
on Georgia soil during the late war
was that OF Resaca. says the Atlanta
Journal Among the many patriotic
youths who took arms in defense OF
southern independence was the eight
een-yeor-old son OF Mr.. Jethro jack
son. of Griffin, Ga and the brave boy
met his death at the battle OF Resaca.
He was dearly beloved by his COM
rades, and they gave him a little bet
ter burial than usually falls to the lot
of those who die upon the field OF bat
tie. With rough boards taken from
the bridge near by they made him a
rude coffin, and tenderly and lovingly
placed him under the sod.
1t was sometime in the spring OF
1866 that Mr.. Jethro jackson went to
Resaca to look for the grave Of his son.
He wished to find the remains, and to
take them to Griffin and enter them in
the family burying ground. The COM
rades who laid young jackson to rest
gave the father description OF the
spot where they had buried him, tell
ing him about the rude pine coffin
made from the boards taken from the
bridge. After many days of tireless
search Mr.. jackson failed to locate his
sons grave, and returned to his home
in Griffin.
A few nights after his return he
dreamed that his son came to him and
pointed out the spot where he was
buried. The dream was like vision.
He saw his son standing beside his
bed and heard him say:
Father, am buried under mound
which was thrown up by the Yankees
after l was killed. You will know the
mound when you see it by the poke
berry bushes growing upon it. &c
and take me up and carry me home t.
mother"
So strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. Jackson that hi
returned at once to Resaca, taking with
him one of the comrades who hat
buried his son. The mound was found
just as described in the dream, and thu
pokeberries were growing upon it. Al
excavation was made and a few fee
below the earth the rough pine coffil
was found. and in it were the remain.
Of young Jackson. He was fully iden
tilted, not only by the coffin and tn
shoes. but by the name which was OF
the clothing.

The Turks esteem the beard as the
most noble ornament of the male sex.
and consider it more infamous for any
one to have his beard cut of than to
be publicly whipped. pilloried or
branded with n red-hot iron. Almost
any orthodox Turk would prefer being
put to death rather than have his
beard removed from his face. In that
country to pull or irreverently handle
the beard is an insult which can only
be avenged by taking the life of the
person who is rash enough to commit
such crime, or for the Turk to lose
his own in making the attempt to cali
the offender to account. Turkish
wives kiss their husbands boards, and
children kiss their fathers, as often as
they come for the customary salute.
