Besides lnstructing the natives and in
cidentally fulfilling the duties of parochiAl
clergy the missions extended a bountiful
hospitality 10 all travellers and wayfarers.
Planted at intervals of about a days Jour
ney, on the atura route Of travel along
the coast, they became the usual resting
place for all travellers in either direction.
Horses were the only means Of locomo-
tion, and at the end OF his hard days ride
the weary traveller stopped at the door OF
the mission building as naturally, and with
"a little thought OF intrusion, as one might
now at a public hotel. Throwing his rein
to an Indian arriero he was received by the
missionary priest, or in his absence by the
sacristHn, with the patriarchal hospitality
that Abraham extended TO Lot.
A bath was provided, followed by a
plentiful meal and n comfortable bed. He
was at liberty TO stay as long as his con-
venience required, and on leaving was pro-
vtded with a fresh horse and directions or.
II needed, a guide. for his further journey.
Perhaps II is "A tradition from these early
days, but travellers still speak kindly OF the
hospitality Of Californla.-John I, DOYLE

The KelIner Failure.

The Salt Lake Tribune has the follow
ing to say OF the Kellner assignment
The Kellner failure still continues to az
itats several minds, not only in this city
but elsewhere. The latest to take steps
in the matter is Il. B. Clafin & Co, who
went before Judge Zane aud. by their
attorneys. Dickson & Stone, made repre-
sentatious that secured the appointment
Of another receiver in place of Lederer.
From the statement Of facts filed by II.
b. Clafin q Co the assignment was
made Tor the purpose of d%efraudIng the
creditors other than the preferred one
There are twenty two of the latter who
bave claims ~aggregating SIl.747.O6, while
the claims Of the others amount to S44,-
O20. 90. Claiin & 20. set up that Lederer
is wholly irresponsible, and that be came
here for the purpose OF taking the place
OF assignee and intending to compel the
unpreferred creditors to compromise on
such terms as he might dictate.
The court upon the showing made, Sc
lscted George Rhode as assignee, upon
his Cling a bond Of IS. 900 to Kellner and

In Pennsylvania there is q lake contain
ing black bass and other fish. All the land
surrounding the lake is cultivated, and
there are no streams flowing into or from
IL, being entirely spring water. There Is
no refuge or shelter for the fish, and for
some tint the fishing has been unsAtis-
factory; the fish could not be found; they
were apparently scattered.
On one sid Of the lake there was a clump
Of small willows, which during the winter
were cut of and thrown on the ice as the
easiest way Of getting rid OF them. When
the ice broke up in the spring. the wind
carried the Ice and branches 70 the lower
end Of the lake. where the latter were
dropped on the bottom together in one
mass, o fifty feet in diameter, In about
fifteen feet Of water. The branches were
soon covered with Animalcule and spawn,
and they have made the best fishing
grounds In the lake. A dozen black bass
were caught out of the brush, while others
near by not knowing the reason were un-
able to get "A fish.
Isend you this with the hope that it may
cause those who would be Interested in a
fish roost, during the proper season for
fishing, to exert themselves a little with
the hand axe at the proper season for its
use; thinking OF the pleasure they will give
themselves and others, In addition 10 max
ing a feeding place for the hsh.-Cor. For

quired to go round the basket, to be fin
ished in bows making a diagonal ruche
Of ribbon bows run about the basket
from top to bottom, gives a real beauty
to it.
A fruit box made of stats and inter
stices in the same manner as a peach
basket, bound with a tiny metal band at
the top, Is very useful for holding fancy
work or cards. These generally look so
fresh and clean when they arrive from
the grocer or confectioner filled with
fragrant fruit hat the feminine mind
instantly seeks their utility. The little
spaces between the stats, however, seem
TO defy all purpose until they are daintily
filled with ribbon. Two bits of satin
ribbon may be run through after the
box is nicely painted, as was done with
the basket, or gilded. The metal band at
the top should be gilded in any case. A
rich bow set upon one corner, and a bot
tom, cut first of pasteboard, covered
with sheet wadding, delicately sacheted,
aud finally finished with satin covering
to match the ribbon, set in the bottom
Of the box gives it perfect finish. A fall of
cheap Valenciennes lace made be added
about the edge of this for exquisite effect.
Such a box is we'll placed upon the
surface of a lard table which appears
iu Houeot form and most complete deco
ration. The pine table with four legs
daintily turned aud upper and lower
shelf may be bought for a couple of dol
lars; the usual Chinese enamel covers it;
then a tiny metal railing with wrought
iron work about it is set around the
upper shelf as a fence to guard straying
cards or notes of invitation. Under this
shelf is suspended a silken bag, with
open flaps lined in solid color lying back
at the four openings; for there is one to
every side. Tiny tacks will fasten this
pocket or receptacle in place firmly.
Two yards of silk. one in each color, is
all sufficient.
A piece of bric-a-brac may be set in
the lower shelf. In the course of a sea-
son so many callers and notes arrive at
the average home that the care of them
is frequently burdensome, and a place
at hand to keep them until the final
spring sorting and keeping of addresses
will prove of real convenience.

was ever more hopelessly stranded than a
wrecked constitution, whether It's disaster
be the product ofsome formidable malady,
or that slow, premature decay that seems
10 iasten upon some constitutions without
apparent adequate cause. An excellent
means Of checking this gradual drain of
the sources of vitality is the beueticlent
tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
promotes the digestion, enriches the blood
and gives substance as well as stamina to
an enfeebled frame. Constipation. feeble
ness of the kidneys and bladder, fever aud
ague and rheumatism, are among the
bodily ailments which it remedies promptly
aud thoroughly. Persistence in its use is
well merited BY it.

just reached Bridgeport On a trip he is
making to Boston. He spoke highly of

port. While the party were coasting
down the small hill near Stephen San

nothing was hurt but crank of one of

In the case of John Brady, Jr, against
4. Redfield & Sons, Brady got $12 65
and costs, really all the actual damage
testiged to. Brady paid So 65 for repairs,
while the wagon was worth $40 less than
before the accident. Mr. Brady's testi-
mony was to show that be had driven
through the Murphy crossing before the
accident and had found it open. On his
return at noon, he saw no sign that the.
tunnel was closed, although workmen
were sitting around eating their dinner.
He moved couple of wheel barrows
out of the way and drove down into the
tunnel; then, when too late to retreat,
he found the passage blocked by pile
of stones. He led his horse as carefully
as possibly, but the wagon was over
turned and broken. John Gallot and p.
H. Dooley testified to having used the
tunnel previously and considered it open
to travel. A sensation was caused when
they testified that they had been stop
ped by Redfeld and his men and forced
TO pay toll. Dooley, the first to pass,
was obliged to pay 45c by the foreman
of the gang. When Gallot attempted to
pass, on his way to Brady's house, he
heard some one shout to put up the bars
and found his way blocked. Redfield.
he testified, demanded Csc before he
would release him and sundry remarks
about lifting him out with a derrick
were dropped, to Gallot's CONSERVATION.
As Redfield's teams were coming down
upon him, he was finally allowed to 90
on payment Of 10c. As he passed out. one
of the men at the engine, whom Gallot
thought was Jack Henchy, remarked
that the wagon needed washing and
turned hose upon wagon and driver.
Lawyer Clinton Morehouse, who, in the

for Redfeld, offered no evidence, claim

shown guilty by the evidence.
