1t May Meet In sacramento in Janu-
airy, Thousand Strong.
Sacramento will probably be very
lively during portion of next January,
when it is expected the American Pomo-
logical Society will meet here. At the
same time there will be a convention of
State fruit-growers, and the Northern
and Central State Citrus Fair will doubt
less be held here. These combined will
bring many thousand visitors to the city.
AT the meeting of the State Board OF
Horticulture in San Francisco yesterday
it was announced that the American Po-
mologieal Society, about 1000 strong,
consisting of the most prominent men OF
the East. will meet in this State in Janu-
ary next.
The board concluded that, if acceptable
to the fruit-growers, the convention to
have been held at Sacramento in Novem-
Der be deferred, and that arrangements
be made whereby the convention be held
at the same time with the Pomological
Society.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the State Agricultural Society to hold the
next State Citrus Fair at Sacramento
during that same week.
Professor G. III. Allen of San Jose was
employed to prepare pamphlet on cook
ing California dried fruits.
A resolution was passed prohibiting
animals known as the flying fox, Aus
tralian or English wild rabbit, or other
animals or birds detrimental to fruit
or fruit trees, plants, ETC., from being
brought into the State. and that if landed
they shall be destroyed.
The Executive Committee was in
structed to meet at Sacramento to super
wise the horticultural exhibits to be made
by the board under the auspices of the
State Agricultural Society.

might purchase each part of the series of
twenty-six numbers at eight cents per
part. Many hundreds OF the numbers
have been purchased by subscribers, and
the remarkably low price at which the
publication is sold has become matter
of general comment.
The history is an excellent one, very
accurate, and written by the foremost
historians of late years. 1t is very freely
illustrated, and a detailed story of the war
is told in most interesting style. The
RECORD UNION might have sold these
parts at figure considerably in advance
OF eight cents and thereby reaped rich
profit on the sales, hut it entered into the
matter solely for the benefit of its sub
scribers, and is offering each part at exact
cost-eight cents.
The first twelve of these parts have ar
rived and can be seen or purchased at
he office.

Patrick Flanagan was witness in q
case where truthfulness compelled him
to give some testimony against the
man on trial, who was a particular
friend of his. Patrick's ordinarily
rich brogue had recently been rendered
more than usually unintelligible by an
accident to which he referred with
feeling in the course Of his testimony.
He was frequently called upon to re-
peat his answers, which were evident
" made under protest, and between
these constant requests and the long
words with which the air of the court
room seemed to Patrick to be filed, his
anger rose. and his confusion steadily
increased.
Don't prevaricate," said the judge
at last, as Patrick returned surpris-
ingly incoherent answer to q question
addressed to him.
'sPrevaricate, is it?' cried Mr.. Flani-
gan with angry resentment. .Oi'm

TAXES IN ITALY.

The Heavy Hand Of Government Upon the

There is not more heavily or more
unjustly taxed people in Europe than
the Italians. No foreigner who has
not travelled through the peninsula can
conceive the depths of misery that are
connoted there by that hated word
taxes. Thousands of little households
