ACalifornia Vehicle.

] In early times there was not in Cali
fornia any vehicle except rude Cali,
fofnia cart; the wheels were without
tires, and were made by telling
al oak tree and bewing it down till Il
made solid wheel nearly o foot thick
on the rim and little larger where the
axle went through. The hole for the
axle would be eight or nine inches In
diameter, but few years use would in,
crease it to foot. To make the hole on
augur, gouge, or chisel was sometimes
used, but the principal tool was an ak.
A small tree required but little hewins
and shaping to answer for an axle.
These carts were always drawn by oxen,
the yoke being lashed with rawhide tt
the horns. To lubricate the axle theJ
used soap (that is one thing the Mexi
cans could make), carrying along for the
purpose a big pail of thick soapsuds
which was constantly put in the box OF
hole; but you could generally tell wher
q California cart was coming half a milf
away by the sQueaking.
The best families in California weni
long distances atsthe rate Of thirty mile,
Or more day, visiting in one of thes,
clumsy two-wheeled vehicles. They had
d little framework around it made oI
round sticks, and bullock hide was pu,
In for o floor or bottom. Sometimes tn,
better class would have a little calico fo,
curtains and cover. There was no sucl
thing as a spoked wheel in use then.

THE PORTER IN HIS PALACE.
No King Ever Ruled with Tyranny More
Unrelentlng and Severe.

No King Ever Ruled with Tyranny More
unrelenting and Severe.
A gentleman who was travelling ON a
sleeping-car and was to alight about
in the morning, says the Boston Courier,
gave the porter explicit directions to
wake him at the proper time, and went
to sleep About midnight the porter
came and aroused him.
excuse me, sah," the porter said,
shut l forgot WHARF you's goin' to get
off,"
The passenger, not much pleased at
this interruption, repeated his direc-
tions, and then again addressed himself
to sleep. He slept until few minutes
OF the arrival of the train at the point
where he was to stop, when he fortu-
nately awoke. Looking at his watch, he
discovered that he had barely time to get
dressed, and he scrambled into his
clothes with celebrity that saved him
from missing his station, all the time
saying to himself things concerning the
porter which were by no means compl-
mentary to that individual
AS the train drew in the station, where
1t made a stop of only moment, the
gentleman hurried out Of the car, and
as he did so passed the porter, sound
asleep on a seat in the smoking-room
With a poke of his valise the passenger
awakened him.
II say" he demanded, "why didn't you
call me as told you to? I came very
near sleeping over"
The porter drew himself up with
sleepy dignity, suppressing yawn and
rubbing his eyes open.
@On dis car" he returned, with the air
OF one who had been greatly insulted,
adar amt none of the passengers lowed
to wake up the porter, an you'll have to
walt till this individual wakes up Of
himsel', before you can get any such
question answered.
With perfect GOODNESS he laid himself
down again, and the passenger hurried
out Of the car without waiting to con-
tinue the conversation.

Had Eggs in His Shoes.

Congressman-elect Lockwood was an
orator long before his rhetoric helped to
carry Grover Cleveland aloft. Away
back in his school days at Hamburg he
was an orator Of such note that he was
chosen valedictorian of his class. He
prepared the event by ordering q new
pair Of shoes. Late in the afternoon
of the great day the shoes came. But,
good heavens! they wouldn't go on. Dan
hadn't another pair fit for use. He
summoned the shoemaker to q confer
ence, and, while the perspiration rolled
off his face, he explained the situation.
"That's nothing" said Crispin; Gget
couple of eggs and break one into each
SHOE"
Dan did so and the result was charm
ing. He went into those shoes like
ducks foot in the mud. His valedictory
was the greatest effort of Lockwood's
career up to that date. The words were
honeyed and the gestures as graceful as
snake swallowing a frog. All his
friends and relatives were spellbound.
But right in the midst of it the author
stopped. Agony was incarnate in his
features. His hair rose on end. He be-
came pale and red in turns.
What was the matter? Had he for
gotten his speech? No, he had just
thought of those two egg omelets, and
would have given all he had or ever
hoped to have for chance to laugh.

A NAVY National par,r


Probably few people east of the Rocky
Mountains are aware that during au-
tumn of the past year new national
pIeasure-ground, larger than the State OF
Rhode Island, was established in this
country. This spacious park is in Cali
fornia, completely surrounding the Yo-
semitic valley grant of 1864, and about
thirty times as large as that grant 1t
takes in not only the entire watershed
of the Merced River region, as defined
by the encircling mountain range which
includes Toulumne Peak, Unicorn Peak,
and Cathedral Peak on the north and
northeast, Mount Lyell with it's superb
glaciers on the east, and Buena Vista
Peak on the south; but itembraces, also,
the noble Hetchy Hetchy valley, itself
a second Yosemite, and the magnificent
Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, with its
massive walls and domes, and it's cas-
cades unequalled in volume of water by
those of any other canyon in the Sierra.
It crosses the Tuolumne meadows and
annexes the splendid range that contains
Mount Dana and Mount Gibbs and the
Mono Pass. 1t has saved from the lum.
herman and the saw-mill the Mono Pass
the Merced and Tuolumne groves of big
trees, and has secured Lake Eleanor. In
short, it has brought within its protect
ing area all that needs to be reserved in
that region of natures marvels. Its
area is from 40 to As miles east and west
and about 81 miles north and south

judgment were valuable to the new firm.
He knew how to buy and how to run q

Michael now withdraws from the firm to

THE TRAvELER's TREE.
How 1t Quenched the Thirst of Tired
European.


How 1t Quenched the Thirst of Tired
European.
A European traveller on his way from
the coast of Madagascar to the capital,
Tananarivo, in the interior, had emptied
his water flask and was suffering from
thirst He asked one Of the natives of
his party when he should be able to OBJ
lain water.
"Any time you like, SIR" said the
native with a smile.
The European saw no sign of springs
or water; but the natives conducted him
to group of palm-like trees standing
in cluster on the edge Of the forest,
with straight trunks and big bright
green leaves growing from the opposite
sides of the stalk, and making the tree
appear like a great fan. The white man
gazed admiringly at the tree.
@You think it fine tree, but will
show you what it is good for" said the
native.
He pierced the root of one OF the leaf
stems at the point where it joined the
tree, whereupon stream of clear water
spurted out, which the European caught
in his water-can and found to be fresh,
cool and excellent to drink. After the
party had satisfied their thirst and taken
a supply, the native who had spoken
went on:
"This tree, which is good for us in
more ways than one, we call the travel
er's tree"
"But where does the water come from
that the tree contains? Is it taken up
from the soil?" inquired the white man.
"Oh, no." said the native. "The
leaves drink in the rain that falls on
them, and when it has passed through
them it becomes very pure and sweet"

THE Democratic Senators are certain
ly deserving of the thanks of the coun-
try for the able manner in which they
foiIed every attempt Of the Harrison
Republicans to pass the Force bill and
its revolutionary fore-runner, the AID
rich gag rule. Only those upon the
ground know of the many personal
sacrifices made by the Democrats, in
order to be constantly on hand, pre-
pared to take advantage of every fav-
orable circumstance that might arise;
but these sacrifices are fully appreciat-
ed, not only by the grateful constitu-
ents of the Democratic Senators, but by
the county at large, which rejoicess to
know that both gag rule and Force bill
are shelved-it is hoped never again to
