Another new made grave covers a
fresh victim of the Great Rebellion.
Doctor Clark Leal, the subject of the
above announcement, served for four
years in the Union army, as a volun-
teer and veteran, and carried to his
grave large Minnie ball which
pierced his left breast near the heart,
and lodged in the region of the spine;
and also several severe scars caused
by gunshot wounds received in battle.
He was native of Illinois, and his
last term of service as soldier, was as
veteran of the 21st Regiment of
mounted rifles, of that State, under
Col Fonda. At the close of the war
he completed his medical education at
the Rush Medical College of Chicago,
from which institution he graduated
in 1865 or 1866. He had resided in this
city for about six months, having
come here i'm the hope of regaining his
falling health, which had become Sc
riously impaired during the last two
or three years, doubtless in conse-
quence of the presence of the "leaden
messenger above alluded to. Doctor
Leal was a young man of unusual
promise, and of upright and honora-
bic character. He had won many
friends in this county and vicinity
who will regret his untimely death.
He leaves widowed mother and sister
in Chicago, and his cousins, DIR. J. H.
Leal and lady of this city (who gave
him the most tender and affectionate
attention during his illness), to mourn
his loss

Our townsmen, Sacriste, Elliott &
Co., write the annexed letter to the
editor of the San Bernardino Guardian
in reference to the erection of a woolen
mill in that county. The project Is an
important one, and should be fostered
by our neighbors: H


We have been informed that the
people of your county are anxious to
have u wooden mill; and We are of the
opinion that with the facilities you
have of water power and for procuring
wool, that you possess excellent natu-
raj advantages for such an enterprise.
Our firm are practical manufacturers,
and have only five years lease ON
the "Los Angeles WOolen Mills"
We propose to start a woolen mill in
your county, the machinery Of which
is all first-class, new and more costly
than in this mill, and of the same ca
pacity. If as successful as we expect,
will double its capacity in one year:
Our firm are not wealthy, and 1T will
cost q large amount to carry out this
undertaking; and suppose there is
disposition to aid the enterprise to
some extent. We can be ready for
operations in three or four months af-
ter arrangements can be made. Should
your wool growers wish their wool
secured or graded and pressed for ship
ment, we will incorporate this indus
try in connection with the mill. This
undertaking cannot fail to be of great
benefit to your people if carried out
successfully. Some ofthe firm will visit
YOU in the course of few weeks to
look after site and see what can be
done. Yonrs, truly,

A WORD TO MoTHERs.-Why will
not mothers know that to invite and
possess the confidence of their daugh-
ters Is to secure them from evil?
Never make them afraid to tell any
thing; never make them ashamed of
the natural desire to have attention
from the other sex. Admit the liking
for it as belonging to youth-to your
past youth-but at the same time, en-
force the judicious timing of it; and
above all encourage a frank avowal Of,
and sympathy with, their youthful
preferences. Many a young girl now
lost to herself and society, might have
been saved By such a course. Harsh
rebuke of these natural feelings is
like pruning all the leaves and buds
and blossoms from a young plant lest
stray insects should light upon it.

All were American with one exception. There was
less trouble with the teams than in the reaper trial;
but the same irregularity was noticeable in the
number of men allowed to accompany the machines.
One exhibitor sat in carriage and trusted his Ger
man driver TO manage his mower; another drove his
machine himself; while Others had four or five men
to follow their mowers TO the horses and
help in case of obstacle or accident. The Johnston
and Superior mowers were the first to finish
their work; but there were a number of
others that came out only few minutes later
1t is reported that all the American mowers and
reapeTs that took part in the trial will get medals

ably, for its new table rake. which attracted much
attention from the jury. and the Superior mower

especial remark as in high degree creditable to

PoMoLoGIcAL PHENOMENA. Two
pomological phenomena are spoken of
in an exchange-apples which are sweet
on one side and sour on the other, and
apples without seeds. At the American
lns itute last year apples of both de-
scriptions were exhibited. In the one
case, it has been supposed that the sap
tubes, running side by side from the
roofs of the tree, pour their secretions
on the two sides of the fruit, which
present a sort of Siamese connection,
although they are really two distinct
apples-a sweet and a sour one-in
juxtaposition. In seedless apples, one
theory is that the development of the
seeds is suspended at an early period of
growth from an unknown cause, not
unlike the arrest of the growth of a
child, which constitutes a dwarf.

SEALS AND SALMON. - Seals hunt


salmon much in the same way that


hounds hunt hares. Seals swim faster


than salmon, and the fish escape by


doubling and evading their pursuers.


In clean water, and with little wind


and no surf, salmon swim deep or very


close in shore, sheltering themselves in


seaweed, as hares do in covers The


marks or scratches on salmon, especially


one side of the salmon, mark those who


have made hair breadth escape by


doubling while the seal has run past his


quarry. In very calm weather the seal


takes up position in the bay or in the


track of salmon run, raising his head
out of water, sustaining that position
on his hind fippers, his head moving
round as if on universal joint, watch
ing eagerly for salmon to leap, when
he rushes with unerring accuracy to the
spot. l saw an instance of this kind
in June, 1881, iR Boyndie Bay, near
Banff, in the year when my father and
uncle were tenants of the Earl of Flies
fishery in the Deveron. 1 was then
waiting with crew of men on the beach
before fishing the nets after two hours
food, the most likely time for salmon
to swim in shore. A seal was in the
center of the bay, about couple OF
hundred yards from shore, in the posi-
ton have described. A salmon leap
ed land at the period l mention they
were very scarce), the seal dipped and
swan to the spot where the salmon leap
ed; in less time then write about his
movements, up went the seal with the
salmon in his claws. The struggle was
of short duration; two or three twists
and the salmon was motionless; then
the seal, in his own fashion, began to
feast on him, commencing at the head,
tearing Of the skin, and swallowing
lump after lump, and in less than a
minute the salmon was in the seals
stomach. When seal is very hungry
and salmon very scarce, especially in
the months of February and March,

with fare such as sea-perch and lump
fish, familiarly known among salmon
fishers as paddlecocks. The latter is a
sluggish fish, padding along with the
propelling power of a small tail, provi-
ded with a fringed sucker under the
throat, by which it adheres to rocks in
stormy weather; it has rough prickly
skin, and only frequents our shores in
the spring to deposit its spawn. 1t
swims so slow that it falls an easy prey
to seal, powerless to escape from him.
l have often seen seals take these fish
they make short work of them; there is
no bone in them; the seal takes him in
his paw as a monkey would an apple,
tears off the skin and soon swallows the
lump-fsh. l have often seen seals feed
on these fish, and found the skins of
these fish strewn along the shore

DUST IN THE DIAMoND-FIELDs.-
One very unpleasant thing on the fields
is the amount of dust and flies in circu-
lation; and of these two, the latter are
the most agreeable. Although perse-
cutting one most necessarily by day,
night puts stop to their torments.
while no sooner does puff of air come
from yonder plain than you inhale a
volume of dust-not the earthly, loamy
dust of agricultural land, but the whit
ish-gray limy powder which has been
refined by the action of shovel and
sieve until 1t is as light as air. 1t i'm
pregnates your food, your hair is like a
door-mat, and your eyes have chronic
soreness as though thousand delicate
needles were pricking into the eyeballs,
while your body is chafed and sore from
the friction of dusty clothes. All this
is unpleasant; but we will suppose
that the gentle wind has increased to a
bowling tempest, that storm-clouds fill
the sky, and tents shake to the breeze !;
then, and then only, do the diggers
reach the climax of misery. From
hundreds of sieves and hundreds OF
conical dust-heaps the wind gathers its
load, and like some malicious fend
sweeps through the camp, turning the
light of day into hideous yellow twi-
light, circling round unprotected tents,
and through all the seams and cracks,
filling them full of floating dust. The
diggers sneeze, cough, weep, and for
relief rush into the open air, or more
properly into an air of lime, where, ut
terly choked and blinded, they fall on
their faces, there to gasp for breath like
a dying turtle, and curse the day they
saw the fields.


This sometimes continues for hours
business is suspended; people desert
their claims and shut themselves up in
their dwellings; the streets are aban-
doned to the dogs; and no one has rest
until the wind falls or blessed shower
turns dust to mud.-Harper's Magazine

way is to take equal quantities of ver-

RAsPING HORSES FEET.-A CORE
spondent of the Canada Farmer says
Rasping down the feet nicely, as they
call it, is quite a passion with some
people. l have often rasped the hoof,
and the owner of the horse standing by
to tell when it would suit him. This
raspipg of hoof that happens to be a
little ill-shapen, until it will spring un-
der your finger, is far too dangerous a
plan for making things look well. !
have often commenced on hoofs that
had beautiful gloss all over, and given
them a thorough rasping; not that l
could make them any better, for that
was beyond the power of human hands,
but they had to be rasped merely be-
cause the owners mind was slave to
fashion or fancy. This rasping takes
the strong surface off the hoof, and ma
ture, trying all she can to make up for
the evil done by injudicious hands,
forms hard, glossy surface to protect
the foot. This glossy surface takes the
place of the previous tough horn, and
and at the next shoeing the foot will
probably split a little at the nails, and
frequently the nail punches piece out
before it.
