Ohio Republican platform was not

The collection Of religious relics to
be seen in the church Of the Corsican
village of Sisco is undoubtedly unique.
The Inhabitants of this pretty little
place are exceedingly devout and very
simple, which probably accounts for the
possession Of such a remarkable collec-
ton. A writer in Independence Beige
gives the following list of the principal
items:
The horn used by Moses to call to-
gether the children of Israel while in
the desert; a tuft of that red hair which
was the pride of Esau and the despair
of Jacob; a piece of the nail of tho lit
tie toe of the left foot-the statement
is very precise--of Enoch, the patriarch;
the bib worn by the infant Jesus; the
curb and crupper of the ass that took
the holy family into Egypt, and several
relics of various saints. -Pittsburg Dis

1t is u common way Of speaking Of
the soils Uf abandoned farms, and Of
others that yield only Improbable crops,
that they are worn out, exhausted and
almost valueless for the purposes of cul-
tivation. This condition of barrenness
is more apparent than real and has been
produced by a treatment as superficial
as the view of those SO ready to condemn
the soil. In the early days Of mining in
California the impatient gold seekers,
with rude apparatus and L-imitive
methods, collected such quantities of
the precious metal as anne easily to
hand and forsook their claims, leaving
behind in the earth far more gold than
they carried away. In after years others
more skillful have gathered abundant
wealth from those forsaken fields. Some
thing Of the same nature will yet be ac-
complished upon thousands Of acres Of
New England soil now lightly valued.
An acre Of soil, going down y foot
deep, contains approximately Q, 700 tons
in its 40, 900 or moro cubic feet, or
about 1874 pounds to the cubic foot.
NucluiCA1 dtldlJ bAc uCAlOhbtA dbCo tAAns
this quantity Of surface earth, in an or
binary average soil. contains about
4, 900 pounds Of phosphorio acid. 5000
pounds Of potash and 10. 900 pounds Of
nitrogen. These ingredients. If pur-
chased at usual market prices, might
Cost 4 cents q pound for the potash, 2
cents for the phosphoric acid. 10 cents
for tho nitrogen. At these rates, the
aggregate value Of these three substances
in "a thin surface acre, only q single foot
in depth. would be %, 800. AS the gold
held in quartz was beyond the reach of
the unskilled miner, the fabulous wealth
of the soil is largely unavailable to the
unskilled farmer. But the treasure Is
there. to DO secured by the farmer Of
the future. The sum Of $500, 900 would
be thought a pretty liberal valuation Of
an ordinary 100 acre farm. There are
many such farms in Connecticut cheaply
valued by owners who little appreciate
the wonderful capabilities Of the soil
they call exhausted. Hartford Times.

missioner 'Heacock at the morning ses-
sion 1T was nothing more than a farce
few Cinnamon testified that they saw
the money paid to Charley Faver and that
Cleary was present at the time, but when
cross-examfned they knew very little.
Jones ran afoul of W. w. Foote
severaf'tlmes during the examination and
the bitterness which the attorney poured
S. out on the head of the master of Chinese
iingo was as amusing to the spectators as
It was humilfating to the subject of de-
rision.
Wong Yuck Jung was the first witness
called. His memory went back on him
to a great extent and ne proved a poor
witness for the prosecution. He testified
that he paid Wing Ling $1iO, and that the
money was paid by the latter to Faver and
Cleary. The witness virtually admitted
that he had been coerced into giving evil
dence against the accused by Special
Agents Moore and Thomas. Another
Chlnaman called as a witness for the
prosecution admitted that he had been
convicted for having unstamped opium in
MS possession. Wong Yuck Jung testi-
he'd that Cleary had met him as he came
out of the United States Grand Jury room
and threatened to kill him if he gave evil
dence against him.
Wong Ching testified that he was in the
room when the money was paid to two
white men, but was unable to identify
Cleary as one of the men.
Several other Cinnamon were called, and
all were unable to identity Clearv as hav-
ing received any of the money alleged to
have been paid in the morning at the
rooms of Yuck Jung in Chinatown.
James Henry Small was the first witness
for the defense. His evidence was to the
effect that Moore and Thomas came to
him and threatenedithat if he did not say

asked Foote.

Martin Cleary was called, and testified
to the effect that he was an Inspector in
the Custom-house. He denied tnat he was
present on February Z, when it was stated
he was present, when Faver received the
money. He was home until after O. clock

Eyes, and I was vindicated," said the
witness.
On cross-examination Cieary said he did
not release or seize any opium on Feb
ruary Z. He was not in Chinatown on that
day at all. He knew Faver, and was sent
with him by Deputy Surveyor kuddell to
make certain seizures of opium. He had
never threatened the life of Chinese wit
ness.
Mrs. Grundy, the Iandlady at 939 Mis-
sion street, where Cleary lives, testified
that he was at home all morning, being i'll
at the time. He left the house between
and ) o'clock on February Z, 1896.
James Buchanan said he had known
Cleary for number OF years. Between
and o'clock on February 7, 1896, he went
with Cleary to the Office of DR.. Kohn and
remained with him until 4:30 o'clock,
leaving him at his lodgings at that hour.
Thomas Van CLAIM, grocer, corner of
Stockton and Sacramento streets, testified
that Thomas and Moore called on him and
told him that Cleary was in trouble, and
that if be could testify that Cleary had
been a his place on the morning before he
would be doing him favor. Thomas said
he was Cleary's friend.
The witness testified that he had
not seen Cleary on the morning when the
money was alleged to have been paid.

when the steamer went ashore. DR.. Dud-

hama the remains were given Christian
burial
Tom Mckay. the well-known passenger
agent for the Burlington route, was pas
seuger on the Belgic from Hongkong to
Yokohama. Since he has been in the
Orient he has gained sixty pounds in
weight and he wants all his San Francisco
trends to be acquainted with the fact.

The scow schooner Nettie and the Gov
ernment steamer Mcdowell were in col
lision yesterday. The schooner was
loaded with wheat and was prepa ring to
get away from Washington-street wharf.
The breast liue was let 90 too soon and
she swung down on the Mcdowell, which
was lying at Clay-street wharf, and carried
away her entire starboard railing. The
damage VIII amount to about $50.
Robert Emmerson, an apprentice on the
barkentlne Northwest, very nearly lost his
life last Wednesday night. The vessel
was on the Merchants drydoek, and when
he got back from an excursion uptown the
gates of the dock were closed. He at
tempted to get around the fencing at the
end of the wharf and fell into the mud
and water.
He struggled yainly to free himself. and
as the tide was coming in the chances
were against him. Finally his cries for
help aroused the watch on the revenue
cutter Bear, and assistance was sent to
him. Alter he had been located by means
of lanterns a rope was thrown to him, and
after he had tied it around his body he
was hauled ashore more dead than alive
He was soon brought around. however, and
half an hour later was sound asleep in his
bunk on the Northwest.
The British ship Sierra Pedrosa, now at
Port Costa, is to lead a cargo of rye for
Europe. This will be one of the first en-
tire cargoes of the grain that has ever left
San Francisco. The Pedrosa brought q
cargo OF cement from London here, and,
strange to say, there was not one Of the
barrels damaged.
