Deputy Marshal Marsh Makes an I'm
portant Capture.
Deputy United States Marshal Marsh
returned yesterday from Haniord where
he, in conjunction with Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector Anger of Fresno,
made an important capture.
1t had been learned that large
amount of crude opium was being man
ufactured into the preparation used for
smoking, and seemed to be especially
plentiful about Hanford.
Mr.. Marsh and Mr.. Anger ipvesti-
gated the matter, and at last arrested
Chinaman named All Wing and his
wife Annie Wing, while in the act OF
cooking" the opium and seized about
$1,000 worth of the material. The pris-
oners were brought here and lodged in
the county Jail.

GENERAL CnIPMAN has been giving
statistics respecting the growth of the
cities OF California in the decade be-
tween 1889 and 1890, which he claims to
have derived from the census. If his
figures are no more reliable than those
copied in the Express's editorial
columns yesterday they are not worth 81
baubee. He gives the increase in popu-
lation OF Los Angeles for that period as
10000. AS this city By the official
figures gained little more than SO 1000
during that period the discrepancy is
something considerable. In view OF
this fact we ara scarcely warranted in
attaching much Importance to the gen.
erals corollary speculations.

THERE may be differences of opinion
upon many things, on the principle of
"many men, many minds" but there
seema to be absolutely no room for doubt
on one poiat, and that is that the least
agreeable thing to Grover Cleveland in
all this wide world is clamorous
office-seeker. This is q case in which
the early bird is lihely to fail to catch
the worm. The president-o!ect has sought
the seclusion Of Lakewood, New Jersey,
to escape the opportunities of those
who are willing to serve the good people
in almost any Office which has salary
attached to it.

Impromptu Speeches.

James Russell Lowell is recorded as
saying that he always liked to prepare
his impromptu speeches. At dinner
gives to Mr.. Longfellow during a visit
to London, it was agreed that no set
speeches should be made. After tho
fruit and coffee had been discussed,
Admiral Farragut arose and protested
that they could not dream of parting
without hearing from Mr. Gladstone.
Mr.. Gladstone began by assuring the
company that he was of the mind Of
Lord Palmerston, who said: Better Q
dinner of herbs where no speaking is,
than whitebait and oratory Herewith" F"
His remarks" developed into an elo-
quent Grafton. He had read the works
of the American poet, and quoted pas
sages from several of his poems, and
concluded by paying splendid tribute
to Mr.. Longfellow's attainments. The
subject of this superb panegyric was
deeply touched, and replied without
rising in few happily chosen phrases,
prefaced with the remark that in his
case the pen was mightier than the
tongue, and that he could not make an
extempore speech. Compan'

"a great deal OF data Of very varied

ton of the engravings and paintings OF
the fifteenth century, and as there was
no ship that could bear the generic
name Of 'caravel,' great confusion was
caused when the attempt was made to
state, with q scientific certainty, what
the caravels were"
The word "caravel" comes from the
Italian car bella; and with this
ethnology it is safe to suppose that the
name was applied to those vessels on
account of the grace and beauty of their
form, and finally was applied to the
light vessels which went ahead Of the
fleets as dispatch boats. Nevertheless,
we think we have very authentic data,
perhaps all that is reliable, in the letter
of Juan de la Casa, Columbus pilot.

Some OF tho Earlier and Less Famed
Journeys of Columbus.
Besides the mental labors Of Column
bus in early life in chartography, so
favorable to an intellectual develop
ment of which the influences were
brightly apparent everywhere around
him, he repeatedly engaged in prac-
tical voyages, thereby gaining expert
ence and training in the art and office
of an accomplished navigator. Thus
he sailed up to the extreme north and
down to the southern limits of the
lands then known, visiting Guinea and
Iceland.
The scientifi: purpose of all these
voyages is found fully set forth in the
notes written by Columbus himself,
which tend to demonstrate the inhab-
liability of the various zones of tho
planet far beyond the bounds then as
signed by popular superstition to the
existence of human life.
II sailed" he said, according to q
writer in the Century. ''in the year
1477, in the month of February, a hun
dred leagues beyond Thule island,
whereof the austral part Is distant sew
enty-three degrees from the equinoctial
and not sixty-three, as some say, and
it Is not within the line which bounds
the occident, as Ptolemy says. but is
much further to the westward; and To
this island, which is as largo as Eng.
land, go the Englishmen with wares,
especially those of Bristol; and at the
time when was there the sea was not
CONCEALED, but there were very grea,
tides, so much SO that in some places
they rose twice in the day twenty-five
fathoms in height and fell as much"

PARAChOlE NON L SIhEAb.
as the two bodies became indistinct,
we could see the clinging figure on the
pole lift her up to his side and draw
her close to him.
Then we turned to Dane. He lay
like one stunned at the door of the
tent, gazing at the rolling and tossing
balloon. AS we looked at him a con-
fession seemed wrenohed out of his
very soul, and he gasped: THE para.
chute won't spread!
Then l knew it all, and trembled
with reproach that l did not better
understand what was likely to come.
Danes jealousy had nearly killed the
boy two days before, and now meant
to complete the work. The dove
trainer, thinking Danes fall would
simply send the balloon higher, had
given herself as ballast, and would
share the young rivals fate.
Higher and higher in the clear air
went the balloon, the smoke rolling out
of it's open lower end. The clinging
| figures on the crossbar were merged
into one. First ordering Dane watched,
the doorkeeper and myself mounted
horses, and followed as fast as we
could the course of the aerialists.
Soon it was evident that the strength
of the heated air was exhausted, for
the balloon and its passengers began to
descend. That it's speed was rapid was
also evident, for the weight was greater
than was intended for it at that stage
of the proceedings.
Suddenly there was a separation.
The rope connecting parachute and bal
loon had been severed, and the pair
would trust themselves to the big um-
brella. But the umbrella, as Dane had
said, would not work. The great ribs
refused to expand, and like shot from
tower the trapeze bar and it's occu.
pants were dragged downward.
1t was chaotic mass of ropes, bars,
canvas and spangles that we found a
half-mile further on upon the prairie.
Amidst it all lay two still forms closely
locked in each others arms. Martin
lifted his daughters face. No need to
ask if there was hope. The pretty
features were pale, but the dark lashes
lifted, and the eyes looked at us in that
) trustfulness of childhood that comes to
older hearts in times of peril. Her com.
panion had tainted away, and she S ocr
followed him.
. We hurried them back to the tent
and laid their bespapgled forms on the
| ground. 1t was hours before they
regained compile te consciousness, bu
| there were no homes broken. The
| canvas had fallen under them ant
eased the blow.
: They made successful ascent to
gether week later. married then
, as they sat on the trapeze bar ready t,
sail skyward. 1t gave our fair grea
! advertisement, and the crowd include,
l nearly everybody in the county, ant
, for miles outside of it.
Dane was tried for attempt at mur
7 der at the next term Of court. But yo,
r know western juries. He was declares
l not guilty, and was afterward killed Il
a dance house in Colorado.

COLUMBUS VESSELS.
Tho Flagship Santa Maria-How She Was
Built and Equipped.

Built and Equipped.
The Santa Maria was the largest of
the three vessels in the little fleet OF
Columbus. A reproduction of this YES
sci was launched at Carraca, Spain,
June 20, 1892. and her appearance at
the time is shown in the accompanying
cut. t,..
This vessel was built at the expense
of the Spanish government at the ar
senal of Carraca, sixty-three days be-
ing taken for the construction OF the
vessel, under the direction Of Engineer
Leopold Puente, of Wilke. Her length
between perpendiculars is 22. 80 meters;
length over all, 20. 10 meters; extreme
beam, 9.s6 meters. Tho hull weighs
l27 tons; it has five decks and main
mast, foremast, mizzenmast and bow
spirit. The armament consists of six
falconets and two lombards, the latter
being ON the main deck.
The Spanish committee having the
matter in charge made careful exami
nations of all obtainable data to insure
that the three vessels reproduced by
them should be in every detail which
could be definitely determined exact
copies of the original Columbus vessels
