Fooled Il GuuDOat.

A slick blockade runner played it low
down OH United States gunboat by a
laughablc strategy, although the motive
which made it possible was highly credit
able to the American tars. The blockade
runner tried to enter the Pamlico river,
but found Il gunboat guarding the mouth
and preparing to give n warm reception.
Just then common skiff left the shore,
propelled by two negroes. who shouted
aloud for help. They were speedily fol-
lowed in lighter craft by white man
and two bloodhounds. The Yankee sail
oys cheered the darkics and crew
manned yawl to go to the aid Of the
escaping contrabands. Thereupon the
white man abandoned the chase But
during the excitement the blockade run
ner sped into the river. around bend,
into water too shallow for the gunboat,
and then the United States tars saw
that they had been shrewdly tricked.
The bite Of the shrew was once
thought to be poisonous.

Firing Gnns at sea.

To one unaccusromed to the ex peri ence
it is anything but pleasant to be on board
a line Of batIle ship at sea when the big
guns are being fired. Before they are
discharged the decks are cleared for ac-
ton, and all the chairs in the cabin are
laid down and tied together, while every
bit of movable furniture is secured. The
doctor goes round aud makes sure that
every man has had his ears stopped with
cotton wool. The concussior when charges
are fired is tremendous, and the iron
clad quivers from stem TO stern with the
vibrations; in fact, the shock Of the ex-
plosion is so great that every pane OF glass
in the skylights is invariably shattered,
and much of the ornamental woodwork
is spintered. After a few hours Of this
rough play the carpenters have busy
time in making things look presentable
once more. for the ship resembles wreck
when she has finished her practice. No
body likes it. The sailors, standing by
the big guns, sometimes find themselves
thrown all in heap across the deck,
and, after an hour or two, officers and
men become as black as sweeps. 1t is
impossible to be well out of the way of
the annoyance. though perhaps the one
place i'll the vessel where the guns trouble
the crew the least is down in the engine
room, which is below the level OF the
deck, upon which most of the armament
is Dut.

The Supreme Court Decision Affects
Only the Law of 1891.
Considerable interest has been excited
in this county by the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the case of McCabe VS..
Contra Costa County, in which the High
School Act of 1891 was declared uncon-
stitutional, ard correspondents are ad-
dressing us on the subject.
The decision was that the Legislature
could not delegate to the County Super
intendent of Schools the power to levy a
tax for the support of High Schools.
This decision, however, only affects tho
law of 1891. The Union High School at
Elk Grove was instituted under the Act
of 1898. which vests the power of estimat-
ing the amount necessary in The High
School Board, which, it is claimed, is a
legislative body and therefore competent
TO do so. If. however, that claim is not
sound, then the decision of the court will
apply with equal force to the later Act.
The question is one that should be sub
mitted to the Attorney General.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, TO
land OF fair average quality, and Is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
ure especially attractive. They will be sold IN
subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal kyfaying the first OF five equal an
nual instalments. Thus part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with In
terest ut the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over q period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
ands, suitable for general farming. and es-
peoially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land ut $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomp plishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
