A Thrilling SCENE.
A Danish Sailors Desperate Encounter With
Albatrosses.

During the passage of Nova scotian bark
ON the Atlantic recently a most extraordinary
affair is reported to have occurred, showing
alike the ferocious and dangerous proclivities
of the albatross. The bark had just got out OF
the latitude where rough weather is always en-
countered, and was sailing with fair WIND,
when the cry of IMAM overheard" sounded
throughout the ship. The unfortunate
fellow was a Dane. one of the crew, and no
was seen at short distance breasting the
waves. The bark was brought round, an.
swering her helm instantly, and the vessel
was soon on her way to the struggling man.
Suddenly two large albatrosses were seen to
descend with an eagle-like swoop and at
tack the poor fellow in terrible man.
ner Both birds dashed at him. and to
those on board the vessel it seemed as II
they were erdeayoring TO gouge out his
eyes with their hooked bills, while with
their wings they kept beating the unfortunate
man about the head The sight was terrible
one, but it did not last long. as the bark sailed
over the course where the Dane had fallen
overheard about seven minutes before, but he
was nowhere 10 be seen. There was no doubt
i'm the minds of those on board that the poor
fellow was killed by the albatrosses, as he
was powerful swimmer, and seemed TO fight
desperately for few moments with the feros
cious birds.-New York Star

Lastly, though perhaps, not altogether

during this and the following year in pre-
pairing for such an agricultural exhibit at
the Chicago Worlds Fair as is expected
to fill the farmers head with knowledge
and his heart with the pleasurable sensa-
tions of pride and hope.
The Congress that lately expired in
creased the general expenditures of the
Government by about twenty per cent.
over the expenditure Of the preceding
Congress. but the increase of expenditure
upon agricultural objects of every kind
is figured at not less than thirty-fiye per
cent.
On the whole il would appear that
while the late session of Congress did
not afford opportunity for the farmers
movement to impress itself upon legisla-
ton in large or distinctive sense, its in
fiuence was felt all along the line of or

OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. TO
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
DO. so, 12o, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They win be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instalmentS, with in
terest at the rate OF per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity TO purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices To CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California Tor less than from $50 to
pAoo "ii oStS- An SA''ihlllotion OF the l3nu
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity ior
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down To fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, ON terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
