cat that very moment the pain was
too much for me and tainted. You
know the rest. I've often told you how
they sawed of my arm and how I
dragged along in delirium for two
months in the hospital. In my sleep
less hours I used to ask myself if. it
was my duty,to accuse Dry-Jean pub
icly. But could I prove it? And then
I said: He's a scoundrel; but he's
brave; he killed Capt. Gentili, but he
took flag from the enemy Finally,
in my convalescence, learned that as
reward for his courage Dry-Jean had
stepped UP into the Zouaves Of the
Guard and had been decorated. All! at
first it gave me disgust at my own
cross which the colonel had pinned on
me in the hospital. Yet Dry-Jean de.
served his, too; only his Legion of Hon.
or ought to have served as the bulls
eye for the squad detailed to put him
out of existence. -. .,.n \.
cts all far away now. never saw
him again; he remained in the service
and became good civilian. But just
now, when saw that uniform with it's
bullet-hole-God knows how it got
there-hanging stones throw from
the barracks where the murderer is, it
seemed to me that the captain, the
crime still unpublished, was clamoring
for justice"
I did my best to quiet Pere Vidal, as
surfing: him he had acted for the best.
Five days later, on reaching the Office,
Vidal, handing me a paper folded at a
certain paragraph, murmured. gravely:
''What did tell you?" read: ..
another Victim of Intemperance.-Yes-
terday afternoon, on the Boulevard de-
Grenelle, a certain Jean Mallet, known as
Dry-Jean, sergeant in-~the Zouaves of the
Imperial guard, who with two companions
had been drinking freely, was seized with
delrium tremens while looking at some
old uniforms hanging in secondhand
shop. He drew his bayonet and dashed
down the street, to the terror of all passers-
by. The two privates with him had the
| utmost difficulty in securing the mailman,
| who shouted ceaselessly: I am not MUIR
derer, took an Austrian flag at Melegna-
no! It seems that the latter statement is
true. Mallet was decorated for this feat;
his addiction to drink has alone prevented
him from rising in the ranks. Ma!let was
conducted to the military hospital of Gros-
Gallon, whence he will soon be transferred
to Clarendon, for it is doubtful if he can
recover his reason"
AS I returned the paper to Vidal, he
looked at me meaningly, and conciuded:
''Capt. Gentili was Corsican-he has
avenged himself!''- Translated for the
San Francisco Argonaut from the
French.

INTENSIVE CULTURE.

a plot of ground in the fall, and manure
it heavily during the winter, then
harrow it in the spring, as soon as l
can work the ground, and with one
horse-corn planter plant the earliest
varieties of peas in rows W. feet apart.
I cultivate the peas with horse and
scultivator until some time in May, when
! plant early corn with the corn planter
between each alternate row Of peas,
leaving alternate rows vacant from
which to pick the peas. The peas are
marketed the last. of June, when the
vines are. removed from the ground.
By this time the corn will have made
quite a large growth, and the space
between the rows can be cultivated and
set to celery, cabbages, turnips or pot.
ted strawberry plants: or Hubbard
squash can, be planted in the corn rows
the last of May, and the vines will &C.
cupy the ground between the rows OF
corn after the peas have been removed.
Another profitable combination of
crops is to grow early bunch onions

YOUR CROSS.

Seek not to drop the cross you wear,
Or lay it down: for If you do
Another shall be built for you ~
More difficult and hard to bear.
The cross is always made to fit
The back which bears 1t. Be content:
Accept the burden which was sent
And strive to make the best of it..
Think not how heavy is your load; al
Think not how rough the road or long:
Look up and say: ''I.ord. 1 am strong.
And Love makes beautiful the road"
Who tolls in faith and knows not fear
Shall live to find his cross some day
Supported all along the way -s.-
BY angels who are walking near.

WIDE. TIRE TESTIMONY.
Here Is Some Which Comes All the
Way from Australia, and Is
Quite Convincing.

Testimony on the value of wide tires
comes. from all sections of the globe.
A correspondent of a paper in Sydney
describes road in which heavily laden
wagons with narrow. tires sank "half-
spoke deep, and in places to their wheel
hubs" and yet load of five tons car
ried on ssix-inch tires sank but two to
four inches in the worst places. In dry
weather, he says, the roads are cut up
by narrow tires until the dust is foot
deep, and then the rain will not make
the dust set hard again. 81 -
I iAgood material for roads is gravel,
''but no gravel loads of ten ana twelve
tons on three and four inch tires. An
experienced teamster will not speak
about the tonhage#hiss team can draw.
He willsay Think he road will carry
five tons or more, as the case might be.
I have heard road superintendentssa say
that enormous sums of money could be
saved annually if broad tires were used.
The only objection Ihave heard raised
against the wide tires is that they do
not fit into the rutsscut by the. narrow
ones, which makes the draught heavier
upon the team. That is partially true,
but the ruts would not be cut if all
the wagons had wide tires. Portable
engines varyingafrom sixto eight horse
power and weighing five tons and over
are drawn by lighter teams than wag-
sons which, with their loads, would not
weigh more. This isoWing to the broad
tires already used 81 Engines. The ash
pans on engines are seldom more than
about ten inches from the ground, but,
owing to the wide tires, these engines
seldom bog deep enough to allowsthe
pans to touch the ground, 2 =: North

It is a charitable institution, begging con- cern, a highway robber. 4 newspaper IS the child of the air, creation of dream. It can go on and on, when any other concern would be in the nauds of a receiver and wound up. It takes wind to run a newspaper; it takes gall to run a newspaper It takes scintillating imagination. white shirt and a railroad pass to Keep a newspaper running. But money-who ever originated the idea? Kind words are the medium of ex- change that do the business kind words and complimentary tickets. When you see an editor with money, watch him. He'll be paying his bills and disgracing the profession. Never give money to an editor make him trade it out. He likes to swap.
 Send your job work out of town and let outsiders infer that you are doing business in jim-crow town When your friends die, flood the editor with beautiful thoughts in resolutions of ! respect and cards of thauks.

 mas, sonora.
 Roy Stevens, route agent for Wells. Fargo x Co.,, has just returned from Guaymas where he went to investigate the character and extent of the oys- ter beds along the coast. His inyes- tigation was not completed, but Mir Stevens believes that the beds are ex- uensive enough to supply oysters for the whole southwest. The Guaymas bivalves are larger and Of better qnali uy than the Louisiana oysters, which are next to the Atlantic coast oysters in points of size and quality.
 Phoenix would be one of the chief benefciaries of d discovery of oyster beds of large extent so near as Guay- mas. The daily consumption of oys- ters here during the season is about 10000 and would be great deal more but for the almost prohibitorY price of eating oysters and the inferior size and quality of the California variety, the only other kind brought tc this market.
 There is an incorrect idea that the oysters of southern waters are always of an inferior quality As matter of fact the shelltish products of warm i waters are usually the best. A recent 1 report upon the resources 0: the Phil | ippines describe the oysters there as being better than any other in the world, both in size and flavor -Ari- zona Republican.
