Newspapers in this state are forbid
den to publish portraits or cartoons,
or to speak i'll of the dead, or publish
information that tends to hurt the rep-
utation of the living, unless impossis

papers entirely.
The Belgian King of the California
and Oriental line on her return vOy-
age will go direct to San Francisco,and
it is more than probable that other
succeeding steamers of the line will
. do likewise. President Butler of the
company assures the people of San
Diego, however, that the ships will
come down to that city to see the
folks, freight or no freight.
Cheap Dawson .Rates-Rates to

per ton; first-class passenger passage,
$1O0; second-class, $50. The schedule
time arranged is about eight days

of horses and other stock can get en-
couragement from the report that
comes from the hay growing regions
nearer home. The Ventura Signal
says: .'The bottom is falling out of
hay and high prices have got to come

the Signal that there was never before
so much hay in prospect in Ventura
county, and few days ago a contract
was made at Ventura for the delivery
5of forty tons of new hay at SO ton.
By and by, perhaps, others besides

The telegraph recently announced
the discovery of new methods of pho
Itography, by which colors may be re-
produced, but it has strangely failed
to note an equally astonishing discov-
cry made few days ago by an Ala
media man. The Daily Encinal, how
ever, was more observant, and it,
therefore, has scoop" on the news.
According to the Encinal's announce
,ment, Harry r. Taylor has discovered
how to make hens lay colored eggs.
When Mr. Taylor went his rounds to
gather the wealth daily contributed
to him by his hens, he was surprised
a few days since to find the eggs to be
of different and unusual hues. He
was having his house painted at the
time and he observed that the eggs
.corresponded in color to the different
paints being used on the house, and
