A VERY PRETTY CUSTOM
The Exchange of Souvenir Spoons
Among Travelling Friends.
Why This Custom Has Had Its Growth
The Souvenir spoon the Most Local
OF Prodnctions-It Is Always
Pretty Present.

The hold which the souvenir spoon has Il pou
the affections of the American people is some.
Be a ira e OF novelties. Something new and
"tak ng' is always being sought out and
brought forward by all enterprising manufac
turing jewellers. Many OF these are called fads
when they get to be popular. That is if they
ever do become popular. The fad has I.
vigorous life, out its life is short, and many OF
these jewelers. novelties never becom fad.
They may be new, but they are not taking"
Sometimes they display the fault that Webster
once pointed out as the defect n the speech Of
an adversary. "There were things in it," he
said, "thst were new aud thugs that were
novel, but tn new things were not novel no
the novel things new" The jewelers. novelty
must be both ne ~ AMI novel or it don't go.
MOI, souvenir spoon, you say, is not a new
thing, nor is it a novel hing Then why does
it have heavy sale And IL d1e- have a heavy
sa e, Tor German sells hundreds of them every
day. But while the solvent. spoon is MOI
new, L. is also not fad. 1t mas grown out oil
its lad days ard has become an article of gen
eral use 81 es, when you think OF 1t, 1t u

t1smmable this is the fret fire worth
mentioning that has ever occurred in
them, although they have nearly all stood
there for over thirty years, and no doubt
during that time enough insurance has
been paid on them to erect first-clsss
brick buildings on the whole block. In
1860 Blythe leased the block, which was
then nearly bare, to a man named
Gateley, who moved shsnties and frame
buildings on it from all parts of the city.
Those buildings are nearly all there yet,
and the rate exacted by the under
writers for insurance must have been
very high one on account of the unusual
risk of so combustible block. Yet for
thirty-four years they have gone I'M
scathed, whilst fre-proof structures
everywhere have succumbed to the
flames. The life of the Blythe block
puts the tables upon which underwriters
base their rates to the blush.

HENRY PALMER, who died few days
ago in San Francisco. was the king OF
the gypsy tribe, and the Romany men
and women are preparing to make a
great turnout at his obsequies. Palmer
was considered one of the best judges of
horsefesh in the country, and during
the era of horse cars he was regularly
employed by the street railroad com
psnies to select their new stock. He
was at one time rich, but he began to
bet on horse races and most of his
money was lost in making wrong guesses.

The announcement that Gladstone
has resigned the premiership SEEM to
come from an authentic source. AL
though it is said he will retain q place
in the cabinet, his resignation may be
assumed as the close of his public
life. Over sixty years ago Gladstone
commenced his public career, and it has
oeen nun WV H. A.-.n his parlia-
mentary life as a High Tory, and acted
and voted with that party for q great
many years. He opposed the corn
laws, fought Daniel O'ConnelPs repeal
bill and ranged himself on the side of
the Tories upon all the measures that
came up during Sir Robert Peel's and
Palmerston's stirring administrations.
Perhaps no public man in history has
been less the slave OF consistency than
Gladstone, and it has been his pride in
his later life to assume an attitude in
politica directly the opposite of that
which he adhered to in the first part Of
his career. He remained with any party
only as long as the soundness of its
tenets commended itself to his under
standing and his conscience. Ten years
ago he was one of the most powerful
opponents of separate Irish autonomy.
Like Paul with the Christians, he was
prosecutor OF the Irish patriots, until
the scale fell from bis eyes, when he
became the champion and exponent OF
home-rule. No premier in England
has ever welded wider influence with
the people. His personal magnetism
won men to his side, and his power OF
orstory was so eloquent and convincing
that it has often accomplished that very
rare thing in parliamentary bodies Of
changing votes. He will go down in
English history az one of that country't
greatest parliamentary leaders, and
take his place with the two Galatians
father and son, both in eloquence and II
his power to control men.

TIE news from Brazil the past few
days indicates that the insurgents are
forging ahead. They now have control of
three southern states. They have de-
feated the federal troops, and now hold
Peixoto's army in check. It is rumored
that the crews of Peixoto's new ships
have revolted. If we are to place faith
in the rumors that are rife at Rio, the
victorious rebels in the south are max
ing steady progress toward Rio. If they
succeed in taking the capital that will
end the war and Peixoto too.

QUALITIES OF CAHUENGA
A GLOWING PICTURE OF AN AT
TRACTIvE LOCALITY.
Large Returns From Lemon Culture
Air That Has a Market Value
Plenty of Water and
Granite.

This journal has always been conser-
vative. 1t has never held out induce
ments or encouraged speculation beyond
what there was reasonable hope of real
izing. The representative OF the HERALD
who visited the north part of the San
Fernando valley a short time ago, has
been looking into the resources of other
districts that have had too little at
tention.
The Cahuenga valley, say 10 miles
long and mile wide, has resources lit
tie dreamed of in '49. Not in gold ex-
actlY. but in that which is of more value
vegetables and air This last ia at last
being real zed as tangible thing to fig
ure on. So many scoff at our selling
climate. But the climate that ripene
tomatoes and peas in midwinter is not
to be ridiculed, and the same virtues
into the lives of people if they but sub
iect themselves to its genial influences.
Five years ago so-called tenderfoot
came into the valley and planted small
orchard OF oranges and lemons. A few
weeks ago he returned from the east
with the proceeds OF carload OF lemons
sold there. He met foreign lemons in
Arizona that had paid freight across the
ocean and across the continent, and
sold his fruit for enough to realize for
the years crop. off of less than five
acres. over $40, 900.
Now this was pleasant surprise, not
only to himself but to others who had
phrophesied failure. There are now
| kl
acres of lemons. There are probably
10000 acres in the neighborhood that
will do as we'll as this, besides many
thousand acres that will grow early peas
and other vegetables. The same climate
that does this enables the invalid to
recover when it would be hopeless to
expect it elsewhere.
Now it can be left to any disinterested
person if this kind of climate is not of a
market value, especially when it is
taken in connection with the fact that
all the necessaries and most of the lux
uries of living are all so easily access
sible. gsH
This is 30 patent fact that it seems
almost useless to enlarge upon it. But
the story is but half told Here on these
fertile acres, in this genial climate, lies
mine OF wealth untouched Water OF
the best quality has been developed in
the neighborhood lately and in sufficient
quantities to tempt the greed of water
grabbers, besides those that affiict the
city. 1t is now known that pure water
can be had in sufficient quantity to pay
to pipe it to the seashore, where good
water is not abundant.
There is yet another resource in the
vicinity Granite OF superioE quality
abounds. To those who appreciate cub
stantial buildings and permanent eide
walks, this is no small item. now tina
an artificial harbor within IL miles o
this city is thought to be within nea

The persistency with which the Bland
seigniorage bill is fought by the OPP
ponents of silver in the house has a
significance which shows that the whole
weight OF Wall street is determined
that the white metal shall have no con-
sideration of fair play in legislation.
The same moneyed and capitalistic
combination that forced the repeal of
the Sherman act is at work to deny a
hearing to the Bland bill. That com BIZ
nation has evidently adopted the policy
to defeat any measure that may in the
slightest degree help to restore silver to
any favor whatever. The national
banks are determined to control, if they
possibly can, any increase in the circu-
lation Of the country. If the Bland bill
should pass it would relieve the money
stress by increasing the circulation
100000. Such relief could only
affect TIE national banks in
their selfish policy. On the other
hand it would be Of direct benefit to
the people by relieving the pressure
for money to that extent. To be sure,
the amount when placed against the
necessities of the country is not great.
But it would conflict with the pro-
gramme of the banks, which is to hold the
people by the throat until the govern.
ment lie forced to food the country with
bonds which will serve as basis fol
bank note issues, and at the same time
give the banks the benefit OF the gov
eminent interest. There can be ne
other explanation of the deadlock OF
the seigniorage bill Than this. The
bullion is lying idle and useless in the
vaults Of the public treasury, and it,
coinage would relieve the government il
its financial extremity. help the people
by increasing the volume of circulation,
and be of benefit to the lver-producine
states by adding to the value of the
white metal.
