A Tenderfoot in the Clutches of the Southern California Boomers. A gentleman from Philadelphia, who has been making some examinations of the lands in Southern Culifornia, arrived in Sacramento Sunday. In conversation with a Record-Union reporter he told of his reception and entertainment at one of the booming towns in the following language: I had arrived the night before in the town of Riverside. Strolling forth into the neatly planted grounds of the little hotel I saw three men* on the roadside engaged-in an earnest verbal contest. Icould hear one say: ‘*He’s mine.” ‘‘No he’s not yours,” said another. **T saw him first.” “No you didn’t see him first. Where did you see him?” “T saw him coming out of the hotel door.’’ “Well, I saw him leaving the desk ”’ “That’s all right,’’ said the third, “IT saw him coming down the stairs before he went to the desk at all. If you're going on that way I won’t stand to the agreement. I think he is my man.’’ ’ Having heard so much, I saw one of the fellows deliberately crack his fingers in the faces of the other two, with a “bah” and an indignant look, and forthwith turn round to me, like the ventriloquist-on the stage who plays the raffan and the sweet lady, with a beaming smile on his countenance and a cheerful ‘‘Good morning, sir,” partaking of all the sunshine of that sunny quarter. ; “Good morning, my man,’’ I said, “‘you.seem to know me.” “Oh, I suppose you are the gentleman who arrived here last night, and that. you have come down to. look at some Riverside property.’’ “Yes,” I-said, “I intend to look around and see what Riverside can show,” . “Well, sir, I have just come—to enablg you to see the best things that re to be had around here. I know everything in Riverside and fer twenty miles around, and I can show: you vargains that there’s money in.”’ “But,” said I, ‘‘a carriage is more expense than I mean to ge to. I think itiverside will hardly exhaust my walking powers.”’ “Yes, but you want to see the orange orchards and. Magnolia avenue, sir. Besides, it will cost you nothing. { will be very glad to show you about. Lam always ready to show gentlemen ariving here what there is to! be seen.

A Sturdy. Pioneer of Nevada County Slandered by an Eastener. A letter from San Francisco to the Philadelphia Record of February 26th slandered Hon. Seth Martin of this county in an infamous inanner. Mr. Martin should hunt up the writer and give him a trouncing. Here is the letter referred to: “Among the restless, venturesome and ambitious horde that the tales of easy made fortunes brought to this State in early days were many strange and remarkable characters whose subsequent careers were widely divergent. I have often met in San Francisco a quiet, philosophical man, by the name of Seth Martin. He has irongray hair and mestache, broad forehead, keen black eyes and a smooth face, is always neatly attired, and his deportment is suave and dignified. Martin came to California in early days and met with early success. He developed placer diggins in Nevada county, which for several months netted him $500 a day; but they gave] out leaving him the possessor of dust worth $100,000. Then he was a lead ing Republican politician and he could have held almost any State office. He was elected State Senator from his district, which office he filled with ability. Being a skillful civil engin. eer, he was given an equal share with Stanford, Crocker and Hopkins in the Central Pacific project at its incipiency, but quarreled with them and threw his.stock in their faces. It was turned over to E. O. Miller, one of the present Directors and at least aten miliionaire. Martin became infatuated with stock speculations and lost his pile on the Board. He now obtains a precarious: living in some way best known to himself. It-is surmised, however, that he knows too much about the. deep-laid schemes and modus operandi of his early partners in that magniScent enterprise in which $165,009 per mile, principally subsidy, was absorted—in—the—céonstruction of a railroad that could now be built and equipped for $25,000 per mile, and that all his reasonable wants are satisfied with money from the purses of the railroad kings of the Pacific coast. Certain is it that the late Pacific Railroad Commission when here, found it worth its while to hunt him up. It is-also known that he refused to enlighten the Commiss ion on some. important matter in which his knowlege is supposed to be complete. ~ ‘*Martin does not seem to take his losses to heart. He keeps the run of all his old acquaintances, and is an encyclopedia of the history, conduct and official, ‘social and famiiy relations The Superiority of the Fruits Produced Monday : In_olden: times El Dorado was a great and florishing mining country ; but in the: future, unless appeurances leceive, vinticulture and horticulture will be her leading indus‘tries. with confidence of all those counties lying along the border of the Sierra Nevada range, and grouped under the generic name of foothill counties. So far as experiment has gone it has shown that no other part of the State is so well adapted for the cultivation of stone-fruit as these counties, and such seed-fruits as pears and apples grow with q luxuriance and a richness of taste and flavor which are unques. . tionably superior to those of similar fruits grown on low land. which is destined in time to add vastly to the wealth of California and to her people, the olive, is peculiarly adapted to cultivation in very many parts of the foothill ‘counties. to know eay that the olive tree, after it once gets a foothold, is very little trouble, and that there is really more danger of its being killed with kind: ness than by neglect. hardy tree, at all events, and extremely tenacions of life, and there can be no reason why its cultivation should not prove a most protitable industry in the foothill counties of California. ean do in the hil s and valleys of those counties referred to, and experts in wine are bound to look to the vine yards of the counties for the delicate and light wines of the future. I is ‘believed that the sidehills and slopes of the mountain counties are admirably situated for the cultivatio: of grapes requiring @ light soil, while the heavy and fertile soil of thie valley counties is better fitted for raisin grapes-and-for-wines-with a great dea) of body. the foothill counties: are very great; and as railroads are extended here and there, and communication rendered easy and certain, they may loox for a of every wealthy or prominent man in the State. He knows how this or .or one o’clock and to my surprise he was a8 punctual as if a fortune depended on his attendance. In the vourse of a long and extremely inter esting drive, behind a handsome pair vf horses, I found that the young man was very genial and inteiligent. Finally I said to him ; “Look here, I want you to tell me something and I promise not to violate che confidence. Will you tell me, aunestly, what was the trouble bevween you and the two fel.ows outside the gate this morning ?”’ “Well, sir,” he replied in a confilentiul tone, ‘those two fellows are jtranger spotters: You see they are employed ‘by an entirely different »vouse-from what I rep:esent. Our aouse don't do thingsin that way. We know a gentleman when we see aim. Each of those fellows claims ihe right to speak to a gentleman he has seen first and they hang around this house in. the mornings, sir, just like fellows going to shoot a covey cf quail—the man who sees them first uas the fight to the first shot. These iellows. wanted -me to Hold back and iet them come and talk to you, but 1 jid not think they were the kind o! iellows for you, sir, and I just told hem TI wouldn’t listen to any such aonsense.”” aa Was Not Taken Up. A‘few days ago wus published: in this. paper a dispatch f:om San Franvisco relating to a decision of the United States Circuit Court in the coniempt case growing out of the suit of Woodruff against the North Bloomfield and other hydraulic mining companies. From the dispatch it was, inierred that entries had lately been inade upon the records of the Circuit Court relating to the appeal that the miners were supposed te have taken trom the famous Sawyer decision Ti.e Marysville Appeal says: The fact is that the miners never made an appeal irom that judgment. Under the rules of the Court a period of two years is alowed in which to perfect an appeal, and if it is not made within that time, no appeal can be taken. The Sawyer decision was rendered on January 7, 1884, and nearly two years elapsed before counsel for defendant gave formal notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court. But no papers on appeal were ever filed at Washington, and therefore there was no appeal. Counsel for the miners conferred with coun. sel for plaintiff, desiring to present to the Supreme Court a summary of the jevidence in the case, but to this the latter replied that all the evidence must be submitted, or none. Heme the defendants let the matter drop and were assessed the costs. SS A.most miraculous are some of the cures accomplished by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. In the case of R. L. King, Richmond, Va., who suffered that politican achieved success. _Persons in his confidence can learn more of interest about California from him in an honr’s conversation than they could from a stu:ly of all the histories and dictionaries extant. It is said that his knowledge of men and their career has to him a commercial value. Sometimes he is without a dollar, but never long at a time. He can go almost anywhere in the city and _ get almost anything he wants without paying a cent; or if he must have money he does not hesitate to draw on some one, and his drafts are seldom dishonored, although he has no bank accounts, nor any busis for one. There are many strange characters in San Francisco, but there are few such combinations of the gentleman and the rough, the honest man and the knave, the statesman and the ward bummer, as Seth Martin.’’ 0@e Now Text-Books. A circular from Ira G. Hoitt, State Snperintendent of Public Instruction, relative to the right to adopt any new text-books, has been received. Mr. Hoitt states that he has addressed Attorney-General Johnson on the subject, andfrom his answer it is plain that no new books should be adopted, and no changes of books now in use (except. for books published in the State), can legally be made without changes or adoptions can be legally made at any time except during the months of May and June. The foliowing books, of the State series, are now ready for use: First, Second and Third Readers,Speller, Advanced Arithmetic and Primary Number Lessons. The History of the United States and the English Grammur will be ready by Jnly, 1888. The Physiology and Elementary Grammur ure expected to be ready by January, 1889. The State has made no provision for publishing other books than those named above. Mr. Hoitt recommends that all books now in use in those studies for which the State is providing textbooks, be retained until the State books are ready, since a change in any of these books will entail an unnecessary expense upon the pupils. Worth Knowing. Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Florida, was taken with a severe cold, attended with a distressing cough and running into consumption in its ‘first stages. He tried many so-called popular remedies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King’s New Discovery for c:nsumption and found immediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease.

Thirty-Four Years Ago. “The snowstorm of the last few days carries ine back to the month of March in 1854,” said George G, Allan, the foundry-man, ‘‘We then got about two feet of damp snow on the level, and I tell you it was a severe test for the lightly constructed builslings around town. The only one that succumbed under the pressure as fur asI can remember was the Goulden Gate gambling house on Broad street near where the New York .Hotel is. The roof came down with a crash, and there was a lively scattering of people who didn’t fancy being buried alive. Albert Mau, afterwards the wholesale grocery prince of San Francisco who recently died leaving such a big estate, ‘was running the establishment at that time.” ——SE ~Roseate Cushions for Jewels.

How can we account for the perver» sity of human ' nature? eh Why . Y willa is man sit in torture « rather than stand straight and at ease? The same man, save the mark, will sit down on a tack or a@ crooked pin, and leap as if dynamite had exploded under his chair. This visitation would be only a prick like a flea-bite, and yet he sits for days in the torment of chronic pains, The person go attacked resolves to put olf, and postpones very often until too late. Then he finds his disease developed . into an inflammatory stage, or into a dangerous type of a worse malady. There is a remedy, he should “know, that does not temporize with anything d4n-the nature of pain, but goes to work on a straight job, searches out the painspot, and gets there without fultering and without failure. For instance: "Ten ears ago,” says Mr. Joachim Witt, Svanston, Ills, February 11, 1887, “I suffered with rheumatism, which placed me in bed; used St. Jacobs Oil and was cured; no retutn of pain.” Mr. H. Carl, 139 Fourth street, Troy, N. Y,, writes March 12, 1887: “About nine years ago my son wis afflicted with rheumatism.

A Tenderfoot in the Clutches of the Southern California Boomers. A gentleman from Philadelphia, who has been making some examinations of the lands in Southern Culifornia, arrived in Sacramento Sunday. In conversation with a Record-Union reporter he told of his reception and entertainment at one of the booming towns in the following language: I had arrived the night before in the town of Riverside. Strolling forth into the neatly planted grounds of the little hotel I saw three men* on the roadside engaged-in an earnest verbal contest. Icould hear one say: ‘*He’s mine.” ‘‘No he’s not yours,” said another. **T saw him first.” “No you didn’t see him first. Where did you see him?” “T saw him coming out of the hotel door.’’ “Well, I saw him leaving the desk ”’ “That’s all right,’’ said the third, “IT saw him coming down the stairs before he went to the desk at all. If you're going on that way I won’t stand to the agreement. I think he is my man.’’ ’ Having heard so much, I saw one of the fellows deliberately crack his fingers in the faces of the other two, with a “bah” and an indignant look, and forthwith turn round to me, like the ventriloquist-on the stage who plays the raffan and the sweet lady, with a beaming smile on his countenance and a cheerful ‘‘Good morning, sir,” partaking of all the sunshine of that sunny quarter. ; “Good morning, my man,’’ I said, “‘you.seem to know me.” “Oh, I suppose you are the gentleman who arrived here last night, and that. you have come down to. look at some Riverside property.’’ “Yes,” I-said, “I intend to look around and see what Riverside can show,” . “Well, sir, I have just come—to enablg you to see the best things that re to be had around here. I know everything in Riverside and fer twenty miles around, and I can show: you vargains that there’s money in.”’ “But,” said I, ‘‘a carriage is more expense than I mean to ge to. I think itiverside will hardly exhaust my walking powers.”’ “Yes, but you want to see the orange orchards and. Magnolia avenue, sir. Besides, it will cost you nothing. { will be very glad to show you about. Lam always ready to show gentlemen ariving here what there is to! be seen.

A Sturdy. Pioneer of Nevada County Slandered by an Eastener. A letter from San Francisco to the Philadelphia Record of February 26th slandered Hon. Seth Martin of this county in an infamous inanner. Mr. Martin should hunt up the writer and give him a trouncing. Here is the letter referred to: “Among the restless, venturesome and ambitious horde that the tales of easy made fortunes brought to this State in early days were many strange and remarkable characters whose subsequent careers were widely divergent. I have often met in San Francisco a quiet, philosophical man, by the name of Seth Martin. He has irongray hair and mestache, broad forehead, keen black eyes and a smooth face, is always neatly attired, and his deportment is suave and dignified. Martin came to California in early days and met with early success. He developed placer diggins in Nevada county, which for several months netted him $500 a day; but they gave] out leaving him the possessor of dust worth $100,000. Then he was a lead ing Republican politician and he could have held almost any State office. He was elected State Senator from his district, which office he filled with ability. Being a skillful civil engin. eer, he was given an equal share with Stanford, Crocker and Hopkins in the Central Pacific project at its incipiency, but quarreled with them and threw his.stock in their faces. It was turned over to E. O. Miller, one of the present Directors and at least aten miliionaire. Martin became infatuated with stock speculations and lost his pile on the Board. He now obtains a precarious: living in some way best known to himself. It-is surmised, however, that he knows too much about the. deep-laid schemes and modus operandi of his early partners in that magniScent enterprise in which $165,009 per mile, principally subsidy, was absorted—in—the—céonstruction of a railroad that could now be built and equipped for $25,000 per mile, and that all his reasonable wants are satisfied with money from the purses of the railroad kings of the Pacific coast. Certain is it that the late Pacific Railroad Commission when here, found it worth its while to hunt him up. It is-also known that he refused to enlighten the Commiss ion on some. important matter in which his knowlege is supposed to be complete. ~ ‘*Martin does not seem to take his losses to heart. He keeps the run of all his old acquaintances, and is an encyclopedia of the history, conduct and official, ‘social and famiiy relations The Superiority of the Fruits Produced Monday : In_olden: times El Dorado was a great and florishing mining country ; but in the: future, unless appeurances leceive, vinticulture and horticulture will be her leading indus‘tries. with confidence of all those counties lying along the border of the Sierra Nevada range, and grouped under the generic name of foothill counties. So far as experiment has gone it has shown that no other part of the State is so well adapted for the cultivation of stone-fruit as these counties, and such seed-fruits as pears and apples grow with q luxuriance and a richness of taste and flavor which are unques. . tionably superior to those of similar fruits grown on low land. which is destined in time to add vastly to the wealth of California and to her people, the olive, is peculiarly adapted to cultivation in very many parts of the foothill ‘counties. to know eay that the olive tree, after it once gets a foothold, is very little trouble, and that there is really more danger of its being killed with kind: ness than by neglect. hardy tree, at all events, and extremely tenacions of life, and there can be no reason why its cultivation should not prove a most protitable industry in the foothill counties of California. ean do in the hil s and valleys of those counties referred to, and experts in wine are bound to look to the vine yards of the counties for the delicate and light wines of the future. I is ‘believed that the sidehills and slopes of the mountain counties are admirably situated for the cultivatio: of grapes requiring @ light soil, while the heavy and fertile soil of thie valley counties is better fitted for raisin grapes-and-for-wines-with a great dea) of body. the foothill counties: are very great; and as railroads are extended here and there, and communication rendered easy and certain, they may loox for a of every wealthy or prominent man in the State. He knows how this or .or one o’clock and to my surprise he was a8 punctual as if a fortune depended on his attendance. In the vourse of a long and extremely inter esting drive, behind a handsome pair vf horses, I found that the young man was very genial and inteiligent. Finally I said to him ; “Look here, I want you to tell me something and I promise not to violate che confidence. Will you tell me, aunestly, what was the trouble bevween you and the two fel.ows outside the gate this morning ?”’ “Well, sir,” he replied in a confilentiul tone, ‘those two fellows are jtranger spotters: You see they are employed ‘by an entirely different »vouse-from what I rep:esent. Our aouse don't do thingsin that way. We know a gentleman when we see aim. Each of those fellows claims ihe right to speak to a gentleman he has seen first and they hang around this house in. the mornings, sir, just like fellows going to shoot a covey cf quail—the man who sees them first uas the fight to the first shot. These iellows. wanted -me to Hold back and iet them come and talk to you, but 1 jid not think they were the kind o! iellows for you, sir, and I just told hem TI wouldn’t listen to any such aonsense.”” aa Was Not Taken Up. A‘few days ago wus published: in this. paper a dispatch f:om San Franvisco relating to a decision of the United States Circuit Court in the coniempt case growing out of the suit of Woodruff against the North Bloomfield and other hydraulic mining companies. From the dispatch it was, inierred that entries had lately been inade upon the records of the Circuit Court relating to the appeal that the miners were supposed te have taken trom the famous Sawyer decision Ti.e Marysville Appeal says: The fact is that the miners never made an appeal irom that judgment. Under the rules of the Court a period of two years is alowed in which to perfect an appeal, and if it is not made within that time, no appeal can be taken. The Sawyer decision was rendered on January 7, 1884, and nearly two years elapsed before counsel for defendant gave formal notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court. But no papers on appeal were ever filed at Washington, and therefore there was no appeal. Counsel for the miners conferred with coun. sel for plaintiff, desiring to present to the Supreme Court a summary of the jevidence in the case, but to this the latter replied that all the evidence must be submitted, or none. Heme the defendants let the matter drop and were assessed the costs. SS A.most miraculous are some of the cures accomplished by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. In the case of R. L. King, Richmond, Va., who suffered that politican achieved success. _Persons in his confidence can learn more of interest about California from him in an honr’s conversation than they could from a stu:ly of all the histories and dictionaries extant. It is said that his knowledge of men and their career has to him a commercial value. Sometimes he is without a dollar, but never long at a time. He can go almost anywhere in the city and _ get almost anything he wants without paying a cent; or if he must have money he does not hesitate to draw on some one, and his drafts are seldom dishonored, although he has no bank accounts, nor any busis for one. There are many strange characters in San Francisco, but there are few such combinations of the gentleman and the rough, the honest man and the knave, the statesman and the ward bummer, as Seth Martin.’’ 0@e Now Text-Books. A circular from Ira G. Hoitt, State Snperintendent of Public Instruction, relative to the right to adopt any new text-books, has been received. Mr. Hoitt states that he has addressed Attorney-General Johnson on the subject, andfrom his answer it is plain that no new books should be adopted, and no changes of books now in use (except. for books published in the State), can legally be made without changes or adoptions can be legally made at any time except during the months of May and June. The foliowing books, of the State series, are now ready for use: First, Second and Third Readers,Speller, Advanced Arithmetic and Primary Number Lessons. The History of the United States and the English Grammur will be ready by Jnly, 1888. The Physiology and Elementary Grammur ure expected to be ready by January, 1889. The State has made no provision for publishing other books than those named above. Mr. Hoitt recommends that all books now in use in those studies for which the State is providing textbooks, be retained until the State books are ready, since a change in any of these books will entail an unnecessary expense upon the pupils. Worth Knowing. Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Florida, was taken with a severe cold, attended with a distressing cough and running into consumption in its ‘first stages. He tried many so-called popular remedies and steadily grew

worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King’s New Discovery for c:nsumption and found immediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease.
