Our worlds Columbian Fair Illustrated


The HERALD will issue worlds Columbian
fair edition OF the ILLUSTRATED HERALD. Ar
rangements have been msde with the most nm
fshed artists in America to insure the greatest
perfection of detail to the illustrations. A
quarter of nillion copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. 1t will be printed
on heavy book paper, and will be distributed
by uniformed boys during the progress of the
exposition, and the distribution will be under
the direction of an intelligent superintendent,
who will see that each copy shall go where it
will do the most good. 1t will be devoted TO
Southern California, every portion of which
will be treated impartially. In few days ac-
credited agents of the HERALD will start out
on the work oil canvassing the people in the
Interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected TO do so, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or dis
tributed at the worlds fair through the HER
AIDS agency. There is ne reason why the
greatest boom ever known in the history OF
Southern California should not follow in the
wake of the Columbian worlds tair. 1t is the
mission of the BERALD to see that this shall be
the case. The high standard of previous edi-
tions of the HERALD is a guarantee that this
supreme effort will be of exceptional merit
Tne aim will be to make It nonpareil. 1t will
be noted that in this ambitious edition all the
counties in Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise the
generous patronage which will undoubtedly be
accorded to it, and which in reality viii only
be bread cast upon the waters, which will re-
turn before the lapse OF many days. This is the
missionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the HERALD proposes to see
that they shall get here in great numbers and
of the right kind.

ASSETS PREFERABLE TO DEBTS.

We never were very devout believer
in that dogmatic assertion of Mr.. Jay
Cooke, to the effect that national
debt is national blessing" That it
was of benefit to the Washington banker
who uttered it, cannot be denied, but
there were comparatively few others
whose interests led them to regard the
proposition in the same light. Gener-
ally speaking, debt is curse to any
one, and the greater portion of our mill
ionaires would say-granting that it
is possible for millionaire to tell the
truth-thst the happiest days of tt cir
lives were when they found they had
$4,000 in bank to their credit and did
not owe anything to anybody.
These remarks are predatory to what
we have to say concerning portion OF
our tributary country. We allude to
that section of country Immediately sur
rounding the town of Riverside, in the
adjoining county of San Bernardino.
The Phoenix. published there, says that
notwithstanding the damage done to
citrus fruits by last winters unusual
visitation of frost, the mortgage indebt-
edness Of that section has been decreased
in heavier ratio this year, than
in the aggregate period of any
fSe years previously. This is
statement which pleases all the
best friends of California; and presum-
ing it to be authentic, re think our
people at large should be content to ac-
cept such blessings and leave those re-
ferred to by Mr.. Cooke severely alone.
1t is also stated by the same journal
that there has been large augmenta-
ton of assessed valuations all over the
county. Banking reports show an in
crease OF deposits as well as in the
number of depositors, while the rates of
interest have not been advanced
through financial stringency, as
in many other portions of the
state. The leading merchants who have
kept comparative statements from year
to year find their June business largely
in advance of the corresponding month
of last year.
1t is not exceptional, this general Pc
cuniary advancement of our neighbor
county, but the case is equally true of
every county south of Tehachipi pass.
There was time when people were
wont to speak deploringly of the enor-
nous amount of waste land in the
northern portion of this county, but we
hear less OF it since Antelope valley has
begun to grow into an orchard, and Ca
! huenga to furnish corn, tomatoes and
Lima beans to San Francisco in the very
middle OF winter. The truth is, that all
OF Southern California is undergoing d
healthy growth, the most hygenic symp-
tom of which is that she is finding ready
markets for all she can produce. This
portends rapid extinction of local in
debtedness and a certain increase OF re-

Our first great boom came through
the instrumentality of our citrus fruits,
which were the means of calling public
attention to our marvellous climate.
Now there is murmur Of another boom
in the air, this time through our decid-
uous fruits. Lands that will pay from
$40 to $l65 per acre, in apricots,
peaches or walnuts, will never pay to
plant in wheat or barley. God speed
the day when all of California is
one great fruit-producing state, and
when the last ship sails out OF the
Golden Gate with grain for the United
Kingdom.

A Rrahman purifcation.

A curious story of o COW is reported
by a correspondent at Fayzabad, in
Dude. 1t appears that man of the
Ahir. or cowherd caste, was carrying a
COW calf on his shoulders, when the ami
NAL accidentally fell, breaking its neck.
Thereupon the Brahmans held solemn
conclave, at which the cowherd was
sentenced to the severest form of Hin
doc exconmunication for six months.
During this term it was ordered that he
was to lead life of mendicancy, and
with rope around his neck and with a
portion of the calf's tail on his shoulders
was to perform pilgrimages to different
Hindoo shrines. The members of his
family were forbidden to supply him
with either shelter or food under a pom
atty of undergoing similar excommuni-
cation.
The Ahir is reported to have now re-
turned to his village, but until the puri-
fication ceremonies are over he must live
in temporary grass thatched house
erected for his residence. 1t now re-
mains for man of the lowest and most
degraded caste to purify him. A bar.
Der, after shaving the delinquent and
pairing the nails Of his hands and toes.
will make over the hair and nails to the
Badmanus, who will burn them and also
set fire to the hut. After this the Ahir
will plunge into the river Sarju and
come out purified, but his troubles are
yet by no means at an end. Not till
after he has feasted fifty Brahmans and
100 of his brethren win he be readmitted
to caste fellowship.-London News.
