FOUND A NUGGET.
A Folsom Convict Meets With a Strea,
OF Luck.

Warden Aull gave orders a few days age
that certain changes be made to a flower
bed in the prison garden. In order to do
the work as directed, says the Folsom
telegraph, the convict so employed found
it necessary to pull up a Shrub which
was deeply rooted in the ground. On
pulling it up he noticed something vel
low entwined among the roots, and called
the attention of Captain Aull, who was
standing close by. to the same.
The Warden, after cleaning the yellow
thing off, informed the convict that il
was gold nugget worth twenty-three
dollars, and its value would be placed to
his credit and turned over to him when
his time was out. 1t will be quite litt
to him, and as his time expires in few
months he can be considered very for
tunate individual.

ADJUSTMENTS

At the Metropolitan Theater last night
''The President" was played by COM
pany from the East that came here practi-
cally unheralded. No one knew anything
about 1t, and no notices of the Eastern
press were sent on in advance of it. Had
the public known how clever comedy is
the play, and how capable the people in it
are. the theater would have been well
filled. The comedy is a light one, just a
shade above the farce, but 1t is well con-
structed; its wit is genuine; the plot not
intricate, but enough involved to sustain
the interest: the action is rapid and the
situations very amusing; in short, it is a
creditable work, not aiming at great su-
perlority, but to give genuine amusement.
1t is well played by company of all
around capable people. Frank David is
the leading man and good low
comedian; we suspect that III a higher
comedy role he would prove equally as
acceptable. Frank Lane. the "second
very, good nor very weak. The part is
one full of fine opportunities for viva
clous, rafting low comedian, part that
some of the old-time comedians would
make the leading one despite the author.
Miss Charlotte Iittel, California young
woman, well and favorably known here,
is the leading lady. Her tendency has

OF Helen she is certainly proving to be
versatile, and to have good comedy
capacity. She is graceful actress, reads
well, and acts with conscientious energy
and with thorough intelligence. Miss
Vivian gives excellent support She is
vlvacious soubrette, coquettish and as

Barry and Richard Mckee, as servants,
are good. Mr.. Malcat, as Van Buren,, is
unequal to the part, which was intended
for person of very different capabilities.
AS whole the company is satisfactory,
and it gives an enjoyable performance of
clever light comedy. The bill will be
repeated this evening.
McMahon's Circus will be here to-day.
and will pitch its tent at Fifteenth and NJ

This circus, when here last year, gave

an excellent reputation. 1t is claimed by
the management that since then new per-
formers and new attractions have been
added, and that it is in the front rank Of
circus shows.

A Bright Dalles school Mann.

An incident occurred at the teachers g
examination, just closed, that is too good
to conceal. One of the questions asked
of the candidates was, Write eight lines
about Froebel. The question was hard
to many. Froebel was German educa-
tional reformer, of the early part of this
century, we believe. But it is small
blame to the candidates, if many of
them knew nothing of him. A charm
ing little Irish girl, full of the wit and vi
vacity of her race, met the question in due
time, and unabashed, that like the rest
she could not answer it, she sent to the
examiners the following:
"Troeber a gallant man,
of strength WAS he,
Belonging to the highest rank
OF Gods nobility"
Not quite satisfied however, with this
answer, she added still farther:
"Oi Froebel, o! Froebel,
even now your name can spell.
hope to know you very well
Some other time.
For you 1 know not, nor can tell
, single word; now tell o! tell
About your life, orif you fell,
Were you teacher
Down in hi"
The CHRONICLE reporter earnestly
recommended her for two hundred per
| cent certificate, and she ought to get it.

Lice in tn. Nest. of sitting Hens.


The three following remedies are rec
commended by Professor F. L. Wash
burne, state entomologist of Oregon:
Vermin often become very trouble
some if a hen Is sitting in an infested
house. The best plan would be to set
your hen somewhere else, and near by
have dust or ashes for her to scratch in
Supposing, however, she has been given
her eggs in the hen house, the nest should
have lime in the bottom, over which
clean straw has been placed. Refuse
tobacco from cigar factory scattered in
the nest is good where lice are numerous.
Powdered sulphur used plentifully in
the same way is also excellent. Persian
insect powder busted over the eggs and
through the feathers of the hen is good.
Of course. hen house should be thor
oughly whitwashed. The chicks Matched,
if they and the hen are badly infested, a
little piece of lard or a drop of neatsfoot
oil rubbed on top of the head and un-
der the wings of each will help to rem
edy the evil. Do not bring an infested
hen and her brood among fowls until
they have been so thoroughly treated
that few or no verlnin remain. Fowls
should at all times have chance to dust
themselves in dry dust. coal ashes OF
leached wood ashes.

The Newspaper Puff.

The newspaper puff is something that
makes men feel bad if they don't get it.
The groundwork of ali ordinary news
paper puff consists of a moral character
and good book account. Writing
newspaper puffs is like mixing sherry
cObblers and mint juleps all through the
summer months for customers and
quenching your thirst with rain water.
Sometime man is looking for puff
and don't get it, then he says the paper
is going down hill, and that it is in the
hands. of a monopoly and he would stop
subscribing if he did not have to pay
his bill first. Writing a newspaper
puff is like taking the photograph of a
homely baby. If the photograph does
not represent the child with wings and
halos and harps, it shows that the
artist does not understand his business.
So it is with the newspaper puff-if the
puffed doesn't stand out like bold and
fearless exponent of truth and morality,
it shows the puffer doesn't understand
human nature. 1t is more fun to see a
man read a puff of himself than to see a
man slip on an orange peel. The mar
row minded man reads it over seven or
eight times and then goes around to the
different places where the paper is
taken and steals what he can find.
The kind hearted family man goes
home and reads it to his wife, and then
pays up his bill on the paper. The sue
cessful business man who advertises and
makes money, starts Immediately to find
the newspaper man, and speaks word
of grateful acknowledgement and en-
couragement. Then the two men start
out of the sanctum and walk thought
fully down the together, and the success
full business man takes sugar in his, and
they both eat Glove or two; and life
is sweeter, and peace settles down like a
turtle dove in our hearts, and after a
while lamp poets get more plentiful and
everybody seems more or less intoxicated,
but the hearts of these two men are
filled with a nameless Joy because they
know when to stop, and not make them
selves ridiculous.-BiU Nye.

Plant Persimmons.

The native Eastern persimmon is q
beautiful tree, both in foliage and sym
metry, and the fruit of many of the nat
ural trees in the woods is truly delicious
from August until spring. 1t is easily
grown from seed, which should be ship
ped when the fruit is mature but not
yet soft. The seeds should be planted
about two to three inches deep. They
are very ts,rdy about coming up. The
tree will grow on any moist soil, but the
fruit is generally best on a cold wet soil.
The older the tree the better the fruit.
The trees should be planted in clusters,
for the flowers are polygamous.

Daunax. by Frost

Gsrdners long ago discovered that it
was not the freezing so much as it was
the thawing out more or less suddenly
and especially in bright light that
causes the death of trees and plants by
frost. Nearly all injury from frost can
be prevented if thawed out slowly in the
presence of moisture and covered from
strong light, especially the direct light
of the sun. IF dense artificial shade
be placed over trees or plants when frost
is in the air. though they may be badly
frozen will be uninjured if kept shaded
until all the frost has left them But
if the shade is allowed to remain on
throughout warm days the plants are
liable to become diseased and die Wrap
ping up the broad leaved evergreens,
like the orange, magnolia and gum, in
autumn and leaving it on all winter kills
the tree oftener than severe freezing
does. The tree becomes diseased and
rotten in its succulent parts, especially
the leaves. Near the coast where fogs
come in each cold morning covering
these things rs with wet blanket, un-
der which they thaw out without injury,
enables many such things to be grown
without cover which is impossible in the
interior where it is warmer. An apple
<
lying on the damp earth covered with an
inch or two of wet grass. may be frozen
and thawed out a dozen times during
the winter, and will be found in early
spring uninjured. Winter apples may
be ricked up on the ground late in aut-
umn, covered with several inches of
straw well packed down, allowed to
freeze as hard as rocks, then covered
with a few inches of soil and so remain
frozen until spring. IF allowed to thaw
out under cover they will be found no
ripper than when buried. And they will
be perfect in flavor. Animal tissues
have exactly the same qualities. A mans
hand, foot or ear may be frozen, and if,
while frozen, plunged in ice cold water
and held there until thawed out, no in
jury will result. This should be done
in dark, warm room.

We owe an apology to our readers for
some very poor proof reading in the last
two numbers of this journal. 1t was
the proof-reader's fault and the editor
would have promptly killed him, for the
havoc he made with his grammar, ortho-
graphy and rhetoric, bnt they have been
in such close relation for the last so years
that he could not take heart to do it
Meanwhile the proof-reader promises
the editor to learn as fast as he can and
do better in the future.

HorticulturaI Commission.

There is AN inclination at Sacramento to
knock utseveral of the supposed useless
state boards. This may be well enough.
But the state board of horticulture
should not be one. Its regular appropri-
ations should neither be lowered nor in
creased. It is well enough as it is, and
is most beneficent institution, now
thoroughly organized and equipped for
the work for which it was designed.
Fruit growing is and will continue to
be the one great leading pursuit among
Californias industries, and it should be
fostered in every way. Besides the other
coast states and territories look to their
elder sister for example,

Now it is the polled or g muley" Jersey
cow that is coming to the front. She
will soon be all the rage and fashion.
Well, why not? Cows have not the least
bit of use for horns. They are not only
dangerous to the owners of the animals
but very costly because of the damage
cattle cause each other. 1t costs the far
mer in feed nearly as much to repair the
damage the stock do each other with
their useless horns as it does to keep the
stock up in flesh.

a BAD MAN FOUND our.

Another good man gone wrong is
the frequent newspaper heading to the
relation of the discovery of the tricks of
some fraud who tried to use religion as a
cloak for rascality, and in the long run
or short run was unsuccessful. How
would it do, for change, to vary that
heading by a terse statement of the
truth and say "Another bad man found
out?''
