D. s. Culp, clerk Of the state supreme
court-Under an inspiration l wrote my
wife fourteen-page letter the other
day about this town. l came here with
great anticipations, for Los Angeles is
well advertised. 1 love the people here

see vacant buildings, including stores,
everywhere. The town is pulsating
with the influx OF transient eastern
money. but think it is too large for its
backing of resources.
Henry T. Hazard, mayor-That at
tack on me Yesterday by Councilman
Rees is laughable. He introduces his
remarks by saying that if the council in
this case could not say something in its
defense it ought to hang it's head in
shame. and then he proceeds to talk
about everything except the matter
under discussion. All / want to say is,
that if Mr.. Rees can show where he
spent 81 out OF his pocket in behalf OF
the city for every 500 which | have
spent, I will apologize to him and his
colleagues. M
Sclpio Craig, editor Citrograph-The
National Editorial association will come
to California this winter If work and
perseverance will bring it. How many
are there in the association? Well,
somewhere between 1000 and 100 mem
bers and their families. Quite nice
little crowd.

have the banners painted until the last

Fiddle-Nfakers.

We must dissent from an opinion ex-
pressed upon highly interesting sub
feet by our contemporary, the Kansas
CITY Times: "Guarnerius is still the
greatest genius in the history of the art
of making yiolins and Stradiyarius the
most successful and uniform maker"
Judged by the standard of his own
profession Stradivarius was one of the
greatest men ever known. His work
was as high rs it was broad. To put it
ut the top it isn't necessary to consider
chiefly the unequaled average of its
quality. He was one of those long and
indefatigable workers who are also
productive of the surprising and APP
parcntly accidental strokes of supreme
art which. no matter from what intel
lectual department they come, are
classified BY mNn as genius. From his
hands came Amati's tenderness, Guar
neriu's breadth and brilliancy, and
Maginis power, and sometimes in COM
binations that might face the products
of these other artists all at once. No
one was capable of u grander or more
inspired style than he, The great lid

dies of the world. their qualities being

above those of more prolific artist;

PRESIDENT cARNoT AT NOME.
"A Glimpse OF the Everyday Life of the
French President.


There is no more interesting figure
In Paris today than President Carnot,
says a letter from France to the Boston
Herald. The gay capital is thronged
with distinguished men from ali ma.
tions, but the president of the republic
is so forcefnl man that he attracts at.
tention even among the giants Of other
lands, who, by the way, are as numer.
Gus as the leaves in the famed valley Of
VallombrOsa.
President Carnot is not hard work.
er in the sense that hard work is un-
derstood in America. He does not
bother himself with details. He keeps
a sharp eye on all that is going on
about him, but he does not consider it
his duty TO perform clerks work. He
would not dream of working as Presi-
dent Cleveland used TO do, and as
President Harrison now does. Like
all Frenchmen he is late riser Coffee
and rolls are served in his room. At
3 o'clock he appears in his little study,
which leads from the big reception
rooms in the Elysee palace. His priv
ate letters are opened and on his desk.
He pulls his easy chair up 10 a window,
lrIifs at cigarette, and one of his
secretaries informs him of the contents
OF his mail. Occasionally he dictates
replies and sometimes he answers let
ters by his own hand. AT 10 o'clock
President Carnot receives members OF
the government, leaders and deputies
who have business with him. AT III
o'clock he has deieuner, or breakfast,
either in the palace or he may go out TO
the house of friend. Dejeuner is a
popular meal, and Carnot seldom sits
fTOyn alone. His wife, children, or one
or two friends usual! join him. At
noon he receives su:h visitors as may
have business with him, and just now
a good many of these people are Amcrl-
cans. who have heard of the affability
of the president of LA Belle France and
wish to see him and shake hands with
him. TO these he is all pOliteness and
attention. His manner would do credit
to Chesterfield He goes about the
room from one person to another, max
ing all feel comfortable and at ease.
Those of his visitors who have private
or public business with him are taken
into an adjoining room. AT l:3O o'clock
such public documents as it is necessary
for the president to see and sign are
brought TO him. About 2:30 or }
o'clock he is free. Sometimes he goes
for drive in the Bois de Boulogne or
for walk, but at present he is devot-
ing most of his time to the great expo
sition. At 6 o'clock he returns to the
palace. He dimes with his family and
usually friend or two at o'clock.
He is "a good liver and his table is load
ed with dainties. After dinner friends
of the family are received. Sometimes
there is music. Quite often the presi.
dent goes to the opera or theater, and
at IL 80 o'clock he retires,

Queer Freak OF Nature.

A curious freak of nature is reported
in the lower end of Dorchester county,
says n letter from Cambridge, Nd. An
old resident named Alfred James was
in town last week, and in speaking of
the affair said IL have been living on
the strip of land that makes ont be-
tween the Wicomico and Nanticoke
rivers for the last fifty years and have
never seen anything like it before.
About two months ago we noticed that
place about sixty feet square, where
there had been hill ever since | could
remember, had begun to sink down,
tnd ever since then il has been gettiag
lpwer and lower every week. At first
he did not notice it very much. but
bow every one on the place seems to
u afraid to 20 near the spot, and, in
fact, it is dangerous to go too near.
Bhe place has now sunk labout twelve
feet below the level of the earth, and
rs filed with water. The land around
the hole is sort of crusty, and will
break up like stone.
We can assign no reason for il eN-
ccpt that there is an undertide that
get, in somewhere and is eating away
the land. This is the second strange
thing that has been discovered
there in the last forty years. About
1852. while making an excavation at
this place about forty yards from where
the land-sink is, some men discovered
an Indian canoe containing the skele-
tons of four men about twenty feet be-
low the earth. In the canoe were
found several Indian pipes aud bows
and arrows The boat was of very
fine workmanship aud handsomely
carved 1t is supposed that the skele-
tons were those of Indians, as the
Nanticoke tribe used to stay along the
Wicomico and Nauticoke rivers. ltell
you we have a queer place down here
now, and if the land keeps on sinking
you will see us all getting away.

A PIONEER PALACE CAR.
From a Personal Narrative OF the Over
land Trip, in The Century.


Our wagons, or the Reed wagons"
as they were called. were all made to
order and i can say without fear Of
contradiction that nothing like our
family wagon ever started across the
plains. Ii was what might be called a
two-story wagon or, Pioneer palace
carr attached TO n regular immigrant
train. The entrance was on
the side, like that of an old-fashioned
stage coach, and one stepped into a
small room, as 1t were, in the center
of the wagon. At the right and left
were spring seats with comfortable
high backs, where one could sit aud
ride with as much ease as on tho seats
of n Concord coach. In this little
room was placed tiny sheet-iron
stove, whose pipe, running through
the top of the wagon. was prevented
by circle OF tin from setting fire to
the canvas cover A board about a
foot wide extended over the wheels on
either sitie the full length OF the
wagon, thus forming the foundation
for large and roomy second story in
which were placed our beds. Under
tHC oSAbo hNiO
which were stored many articles useful
for the journey, such rs well-iilled
work basket and a full assortment of
medicines, with lint and bandages for
dressing wounds. Our clothing was
packed-not in Saratoga trunks-but
IN strong canvas bags plainly marked.
Some of mama's young friends added
looking-glass, hung directly opposite
the door, IN order. rs they said. that
my mother might not forget to keep
her good looks. and strange to say,
when we had TO leave this wagon,
standing like Il monument on the Salt
Lake desert. the glass was still uu-
broken. | have often thought how
pleased the Indians must have been
when they found this mirror which
gave them back the picture of their
own dusky faces.
