A Croaker’s Views—4 Man Who Knows What He Talks About. “I think you newspaper fellers dé wrong in advising Nevada county land owners to plant fruit trees and grape vines,” said-a‘chronic croaker yesterday. , “What makes you think that?” asked the feller. ‘‘There’s more fruit raised here now than there is a market for, and prices are down to nothing. In‘a ‘couple of years more the State will be producing several times as much as-it can find sale for.’’ This conversation occurred in front of a Commercial-street fruit store. As the last sentence was spoken the chronic croaker turned around to the proprietor and said: ; “Gimme two bits worth of nice eating grapés.”’ ‘‘Haven’t any but these,” said the dealer, ‘‘and I can’t them.” Z “Do me up some figs, then,’ said Mr. Croaker. enough for their own use.” “Suppose you have, plenty of fine eating pears.

Redding of Sacramento recommend American Magazine for November, describes an ascent tothe highest attainable point on the north side of Mt. Tacoma, which is next to the highest peak in the United States. A view of Hendrickson's Falls—one of the illustrations of Tacoma scenery—forms the frontispiece of the number. Among other attractions of this month’s American is the) new installment of Edgar Fawcett’s Olivia Delaplaine,pre-. senting the heroine at the beginning of a career for which she is manifestly adapted—that of a society Queen. Though ranking with leaders of fashion at the Patriarchs’ Ball, which used to open the season at De!monico’s, Olivia is really the victim ofa severe disappointment: her husband has quite recovered his health. Maurice Thompson gives a description of Paul Hayne and discusses his poetry. A description of «the Grand Army of he Republic”by ex-Commander-inChief Fairchild is timely, and will no doubt be eagerly read.

In a paper entiled ‘‘Cyclopia,”” P. D. Nott entertainingly describes the old forges and charegal furnaces of Pennsylvania. Exactly how and why our continent came to be called America rather than Columbia, is very clearly set forth in a paper by Abby Sage Richardson. It has’ been the fashion for more'than @ century to fling abuse upon Amerigo Ves puccifor having wrested the honoa of naming the continent from its discoverer. Quite recently documents have been recovered which place the matter in awhoily different light; at all events, as Mrs. Richardson represents it, Vespucci seems to have made no claim for honors that were not his due, ‘and should not be blamed because they were conferred upon him.

The C2lumet and Hecla copper mine in the upper peninsula of Michigan isthe most extensive mine in the world. Several weeks ago the timbers which support the pumps and ‘‘man engines,” which are very extensive, caught fire on the 1,600 foot level. ‘The entrances to the mine were hermetically sealed, and. it was thought the fire could be extinguished by steam, which was poured into the level in great quantities through a four inch iron pipe extending five hundred feet into the mine. Prof. Alexander Agassiz, Boston, president of the mining company, arrived on the scene a f»w days after the fire broke out. He conceived the idea of flooding the mine with cazbonic acid gas.Chemicals were procured and the gas was manuiaciured in great quantities and forced into the mine by heavy pressure from the engines. The plan was entirely successful, and when the mine was opened a few days later, not a trace of fire remained. An engine was then set to work ‘pumping out the gas and another to forcing in fresh air. Red-Headed Girls and White Horses. The Macon Telegraph gives the following explanation of why when a red-headed girl appears on the street a white horse soon makes his appearance: ‘‘Away back in the early Greek and. Egyptian day, red-headed girls were very justly prized above all the members of her sex. Men fought, bled and died for their smiles, and they were quite the rage. Cleopatra herself was the possessor of an auburn head, and Helen of Troy, some contend, was equally fortunate. The belief in transmigration of souls was then prevalent, and it was believed that conspicuously brave men killed in battle took the forms of white horses. We can imagine then that when gallant knights went forth to battle after passionate adieus to their auburn-headed Helens and Cleopatras, and found themselves after fierce conflicts with the barbarians, prancing steeds with snowy flanks, that memory of their lost loves dwelt in their equine heads. It may be that these fellowsin'the shape of white horses ave still following red-headed girls around.”? r t Mrs. Guffin Guitlless. The trial of Mrs. Alice Guffin, formely of this city, was concluded Thursday morning in the United States District Court, at San Francisco. At.half past 11 o’clock Judge Hoffman completed his charge. The jury then retired, and returned twelve minutes later with a verdict of not guilty. Mrs. Guffin wasformely stewardess of the Gaelic, and it was alleged that in that capacity she aided the smuggling ring in imporiing the contraband opium. She, was tried on a charge of smuggling based upon the finding of fifty-nine five-tael boxes of prepared opium in her staterooin June 29, 1886. Oe Cost of a Cannery. Academy Association Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the. Nevada County Academy Association was held yesterday morning at Glenbrook. Forty-two of the fifty-four shares outstanding were represented. The following were feelected as Directors for the ensuing year: M. L. Marsh, Geo. M. Hughes, J.T. Morgan, Edward Coleman, W. H. Crawford, W. B. Van Orden, Geo. Lord. The Board organized by reelecting M. L.Marsh President, Edward Coleman Vice President and Geo. M. Hughes Secretary. The President and Secretary were empowered to sell, if they saw fit, the 21 acres of land on the west side of the road opposite the Academy. This is one of the most desirable pieces of land between this city and Grass Valley, haying rieh, deep soil and all being capable of irrigat‘on. The pupils now attending the Academy are making admirable progress under the tuition of Principal E. K. Hill and his efficient corps of assistants. ; a Soine day Nevada county will need a fruit cannery, and will have one. At the rate that orchards are now being projected and planted the need will come in a comparatively short time. It is estimated that one capable-of turning out 10,000 cans a day can be erected for $30,000 in cash, and that a credit of $50,009 additional would-be necessary to insure its success. These figures are furnished by gentlemen who have made a careful study of the subject. Don’t Experiment. You cannot afford to waste time in experimenting when your lungs are in danger.

During the region of the Vigilance Committe of San Francisco, 1856,many outlaws were banished from the country, each with the express warning that his life would be forfeit in case of hisreturn: But one case is recorded, in Hubert Howe Bancroft’s comprehensive History of the Pacifie States, wherein this warning was disregarded, while the Committee was yet in active organization. This was in theinstance of Edward Bulger, a prisoner who was shipped by the Committee to Honolulu, bythe bark Yankee, and returned by the same vessel. Bulger was immediately arrested, and his reply to the Committee whén arraighed was the Hawaiian Isles would have pleased him well, had the people at large anything to steal; but after taking a look at the country he concluded to return and rask a hanging. Bulger did not seem#to realize his position. -Tre Committee were not accustomed to say what they didnot mean ;. they were not the men to promise and not perform. They sought the death of none. The y_ regretted thatany one against whom the death edict had gone forth should have the hardihood to return and place his own neck in the halter. But were it a son who disobeyed he should die for, it; and they wondered at this man’s temerity, his indifference to the awful fate awaiting him, for they saw no means of escape for him. * ‘‘Are you aware that the sentence of death is-hanging over you by rerson of your return?” askgd the president of Bulger when brought for -examination before the executive. **No,”’ was the reply. “Were you not told when you were sent away that if you returned your life would be forteit ?”’ ““No.”’ “What!’? exclaimed the president, who could but regard the statement as false, ‘‘were you never notifiedof. your sentence of banishment?” “Never; [ was merely tried a:d sent away.”’ “We will look into this matter,’’ said the president. ‘For your sake I hope what you say is true; if notyour life is‘Surely the forfeit. It was the custom of the Committee to frame the sentences of banishment; and it was then made the duty of one of the members to go around to the ce Is and read them to those so sentenced. Bulger was now put on trial for his life. Half a dozen members of the Committee were examined. Finally the member appointed to notify‘this prisoner of his sentence was found and called upon to testify. .The member said that although he did not recollect this particular case, he had undoubtedly followed therule. Bulger was now keenly alive to the perils of his position, and his dull wits began to work. His chances for a green old age began to look very dark. Greatly excited,he turned to the testifying member, and said : “Do you not remember that when you came tomy cell I asked you te read me a letter which I had just 1eceived from my nother, the contents of which so affected me that I wept like ‘a child? You went away from my cell without reading me any sentence whatever.” Bringing his fist down upon the table, with a ponderous oath, the member exclaimed, ‘‘You are right! I now remember the incident perfectly well. Gentlemen,’ said he, turning to the Committee, “I await’ your censure; and, in common with you all, I rejoice in this man’s almost miraculous deliverance.” Bulger was sentenced as before to leave the state, never to return, under pain of death. He departed gladly, and with the decree of the Committee so graven on his mind as to keep it in vivid remembrance.to his dying day. ~— Hideous in Every Guise, Whether it be the best known form, chills and fever, or elsé bilious remittent, double ague or ague cake, is that abominable disorder involving the liver, the bowels and kidneys, known as malaria. Every complaint classified under this generic, though erroneous appellation, is destructive of the neryous system, but is, unhappily, not to be subdued, or even checked, by the usé of ordinary nervines, febrifuges or tonics. There is, however, prompt relief and ultimate cure to be found in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, foremost among the proprietary remedies of America, and widely known in other lands. Not only diseases born of miasma, but rheumatic complaints, superinduced by exposure in bad, weather, inherited or incurred debility of the kidneys or bladder, dyspepsia and an irregular condition of bowels. are curable—nay, certain to, be cured by this deservedly esteenfed\and professionally sanctioned corrective.

A Croaker’s Views—4 Man Who Knows What He Talks About. “I think you newspaper fellers dé wrong in advising Nevada county land owners to plant fruit trees and grape vines,” said-a‘chronic croaker yesterday. , “What makes you think that?” asked the feller. ‘‘There’s more fruit raised here now than there is a market for, and prices are down to nothing. In‘a ‘couple of years more the State will be producing several times as much as-it can find sale for.’’ This conversation occurred in front of a Commercial-street fruit store. As the last sentence was spoken the chronic croaker turned around to the proprietor and said: ; “Gimme two bits worth of nice eating grapés.”’ ‘‘Haven’t any but these,” said the dealer, ‘‘and I can’t them.” Z “Do me up some figs, then,’ said Mr. Croaker. enough for their own use.” “Suppose you have, plenty of fine eating pears.

In a paper entiled ‘‘Cyclopia,”” P. D. Nott entertainingly describes the old forges and charegal furnaces of Pennsylvania. Exactly how and why our continent came to be called America rather than Columbia, is very clearly set forth in a paper by Abby Sage Richardson. It has’ been the fashion for more'than @ century to fling abuse upon Amerigo Ves puccifor having wrested the honoa of naming the continent from its discoverer. Quite recently documents have been recovered which place the matter in awhoily different light; at all events, as Mrs. Richardson represents it, Vespucci seems to have made no claim for honors that were not his due, ‘and should not be blamed because they were conferred upon him.

The C2lumet and Hecla copper mine in the upper peninsula of Michigan isthe most extensive mine in the world. Several weeks ago the timbers which support the pumps and ‘‘man engines,” which are very extensive, caught fire on the 1,600 foot level. ‘The entrances to the mine were hermetically sealed, and. it was thought the fire could be extinguished by steam, which was poured into the level in great quantities through a four inch iron pipe extending five hundred feet into the mine. Prof. Alexander Agassiz, Boston, president of the mining company, arrived on the scene a f»w days after the fire broke out. He conceived the idea of flooding the mine with cazbonic acid gas.Chemicals were procured and the gas was manuiaciured in great quantities and forced into the mine by heavy pressure from the engines. The plan was entirely successful, and when the mine was opened a few days later, not a trace of fire remained. An engine was then set to work ‘pumping out the gas and another to forcing in fresh air. Red-Headed Girls and White Horses. The Macon Telegraph gives the following explanation of why when a red-headed girl appears on the street a white horse soon makes his appearance: ‘‘Away back in the early Greek and. Egyptian day, red-headed girls were very justly prized above all the members of her sex. Men fought, bled and died for their smiles, and they were quite the rage. Cleopatra herself was the possessor of an auburn head, and Helen of Troy, some contend, was equally fortunate. The belief in transmigration of souls was then prevalent, and it was believed that conspicuously brave men killed in battle took the forms of white horses. We can imagine then that when gallant knights went forth to battle after passionate adieus to their auburn-headed Helens and Cleopatras, and found themselves after fierce conflicts with the barbarians, prancing steeds with snowy flanks, that memory of their lost loves dwelt in their equine heads. It may be that these fellowsin'the shape of white horses ave still following red-headed girls around.”? r t Mrs. Guffin Guitlless. The trial of Mrs. Alice Guffin, formely of this city, was concluded Thursday morning in the United States District Court, at San Francisco. At.half past 11 o’clock Judge Hoffman completed his charge. The jury then retired, and returned twelve minutes later with a verdict of not guilty. Mrs. Guffin wasformely stewardess of the Gaelic, and it was alleged that in that capacity she aided the smuggling ring in imporiing the contraband opium. She, was tried on a charge of smuggling based upon the finding of fifty-nine five-tael boxes of prepared opium in her staterooin June 29, 1886. Oe Cost of a Cannery. Academy Association Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the. Nevada County Academy Association was held yesterday morning at Glenbrook. Forty-two of the fifty-four shares outstanding were represented. The following were feelected as Directors for the ensuing year: M. L. Marsh, Geo. M. Hughes, J.T. Morgan, Edward Coleman, W. H. Crawford, W. B. Van Orden, Geo. Lord. The Board organized by reelecting M. L.Marsh President, Edward Coleman Vice President and Geo. M. Hughes Secretary. The President and Secretary were empowered to sell, if they saw fit, the 21 acres of land on the west side of the road opposite the Academy. This is one of the most desirable pieces of land between this city and Grass Valley, haying rieh, deep soil and all being capable of irrigat‘on. The pupils now attending the Academy are making admirable progress under the tuition of Principal E. K. Hill and his efficient corps of assistants. ; a

Soine day Nevada county will need a fruit cannery, and will have one. At the rate that orchards are now being projected and planted the need will come in a comparatively short time. It is estimated that one capable-of turning out 10,000 cans a day can be erected for $30,000 in cash, and that a credit of $50,009 additional would-be necessary to insure its success. These figures are furnished by gentlemen who have made a careful study of the subject. Don’t Experiment. You cannot afford to waste time in experimenting when your lungs are in danger.

During the region of the Vigilance Committe of San Francisco, 1856,many outlaws were banished from the country, each with the express warning that his life would be forfeit in case of hisreturn: But one case is recorded, in Hubert Howe Bancroft’s comprehensive History of the Pacifie States, wherein this warning was disregarded, while the Committee was yet in active organization. This was in theinstance of Edward Bulger, a prisoner who was shipped by the Committee to Honolulu, bythe bark Yankee, and returned by the same vessel. Bulger was immediately arrested, and his reply to the Committee whén arraighed was the Hawaiian Isles would have pleased him well, had the people at large anything to steal; but after taking a look at the country he concluded to return and rask a hanging. Bulger did not seem#to realize his position. -Tre Committee were not accustomed to say what they didnot mean ;. they were not the men to promise and not perform. They sought the death of none. The y_ regretted thatany one against whom the death edict had gone forth should have the hardihood to return and place his own neck in the halter. But were it a son who disobeyed he should die for, it; and they wondered at this man’s temerity, his indifference to the awful fate awaiting him, for they saw no means of escape for him. * ‘‘Are you aware that the sentence of death is-hanging over you by rerson of your return?” askgd the president of Bulger when brought for -examination before the executive. **No,”’ was the reply. “Were you not told when you were sent away that if you returned your life would be forteit ?”’ ““No.”’ “What!’? exclaimed the president, who could but regard the statement as false, ‘‘were you never notifiedof. your sentence of banishment?” “Never; [ was merely tried a:d sent away.”’ “We will look into this matter,’’ said the president. ‘For your sake I hope what you say is true; if notyour life is‘Surely the forfeit. It was the custom of the Committee to frame the sentences of banishment; and it was then made the duty of one of the members to go around to the ce Is and read them to those so sentenced. Bulger was now put on trial for his life. Half a dozen members of the Committee were examined. Finally the member appointed to notify‘this prisoner of his sentence was found and called upon to testify. .The member said that although he did not recollect this particular case, he had undoubtedly followed therule. Bulger was now keenly alive to the perils of his position, and his dull wits began to work. His chances for a green old age began to look very dark. Greatly excited,he turned to the testifying member, and said : “Do you not remember that when you came tomy cell I asked you te read me a letter which I had just 1eceived from my nother, the contents of which so affected me that I wept like ‘a child? You went away from my cell without reading me any sentence whatever.” Bringing his fist down upon the table, with a ponderous oath, the member exclaimed, ‘‘You are right! I now remember the incident perfectly well. Gentlemen,’ said he, turning to the Committee, “I await’ your censure; and, in common with you all, I rejoice in this man’s almost miraculous deliverance.” Bulger was sentenced as before to leave the state, never to return, under pain of death. He departed gladly, and with the decree of the Committee so graven on his mind as to keep it in vivid remembrance.to his dying day. ~— Hideous in Every Guise, Whether it be the best known form, chills and fever, or elsé bilious remittent, double ague or ague cake, is that abominable disorder involving the liver, the bowels and kidneys, known as malaria. Every complaint classified under this generic, though erroneous appellation, is destructive of the neryous system, but is, unhappily, not to be subdued, or even checked, by the usé of ordinary nervines, febrifuges or tonics. There is, however, prompt relief and ultimate cure to be found in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, foremost among the proprietary remedies of America, and widely known in other lands.
