Thecircumstance which created the greatest surprise was the certainty that such products could be grown in It was a convincing argument, as has already been demonstrated in the sudden and unusual demand for our fruit lands. significant fact is this: That these lands are being bought up largely by men who were present at these Fairs and were thus convinced of the fru:tfulness of this region. in which the sales were not. made directly to persons wh» visited the Fairs, in nearly every instance they can be traced to those who have become convinced through the statements of those who were there.

With today is ushered in the penitential season of Lent. This is Ash’ Wednesday. Previous.to.all high. mas:es in the .Catholic-churchdss an introit and four collects will be recited at length by the celebrant, in which pardon and mercy are implored for the ful are then instructed to approach and kneel at the altar rails, where the clergy place ashes on the forehead of ento, homo, qui pulvis eset in pulverem revertis!’? (Remember, man, thou art but dust and unto dust thou shalt return.) The administration of ashes but only to public sinners. These had to appear on the first day of Lent, in pentiential garb and with bare feet, before the church door, where their penances were imposed. They were then brought into the church before heads, saying besides the words above quoted: ‘‘Age peenitentiam ut habeas vitam eternam!’”? (Repent that thou mayst have eternal life.) Out of humility and affliction friends of the penitents, though not in the same condition, used to join themselves to guise a similar contrition and offering their foreheads also to be sprinporsons gradually increased until. at. length the aduministration of ashes was extended tothe whole congregation and the rite took its present form. The Anti-Mining Falstaffs, “The anti-mining spies make th people who send them here believe,’’ said a gentleman recently returned from a trip through Yube, and Sutter counties, ‘‘that a man takes his life in his hands'when he comes to Nevada county to hunt for points against the hydraulickers. Some of them write back to their bosses of hairbreedth escapes from miners who lay in wait for them to blow the tops of their heads off. As a result of the yarns they Yuba City and Marysville they are looked upon as little gods. They actually make many people down there believe that they take bigger risks ceming here than as if they had been scouting among hostile Indians.’’ The fact is that, much as the spies are despised by.the people of the mining sections, no move is ever made to molest them while here. Their talk about the risks they run are manufactured out of whole cloth. What He Says Privately. Superintendent Tiffany was yesteiday shown an article in the Truckee Republican stating that he had not acted in good faith when endeavoring to ascertain if the teachers of the county “meant business’? when they adopted a resolution to hold the next Institute at Truckee. ‘‘I guess,’’ said Mr. Tiffany, “that the editor of the Republican has a snowball on his shoulder and is hunting around for ing wide of the facts in his statements about the contents of the document which was submitted to the teachers to ascertain their feelings about going up there, as well as” about other things. The teachers know this, and I do not care about having a newspaper controversy with him. So you needn’t met.tion it.’ On His Travels. The Eureka (Humboldt county) Times last week says: (Mr. A. kk. Lord, Grand Patriarch of the Grand Encampment of the State of California I. O. O. F., and a resident of Nevada City, made a call at the Times sanctum yesterday, and expressed himself as highly pleased with the appearance of Eureka, especially with the many fine buildings everywhere apparent. He will be at Ferndale, Myrtle Encampment, on Saturday evening, the 11th instant, and at Hydesville Encampment on Monday evening, the 13th. ‘At last night’s meeting of Mount Zion Encampment, Eureka, Mr. Lord was present.’ Tree Planting on Glenbrook Avenue. The committee of ladies who have in charge the planting of shade trecs on the Nevada City end of Glenbi ook avenue have received from the: nursery the forty walnut trees which they recently ordered, and the same are now being set out. Ten .or twelve trees contributed by citizens are also being planted, and donations of others will be thankfully received. The Nevada City section begins at Glenbrook Academy and extends in this direction. A few years hence, if the trees are properly cared for in the meantime, that will be one of the most picturesque and pleasant ‘drives in the State. 3 rr iE 9 No orner medicine is so reliable as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, for the cure of * coughs, colds, and all other derangements of the respiratory organs.

No one can deny that there is an unusal inquiry for Nevada county footThe frequency of strange faces on the streets of the town and the almost (daily reports of sales of land in large'and smal) quantities indicate that new forces are at work here, and that if the present movement’continues for any length of time the population of this county will certainly become largely immigrants in search of b is some adequate cause for this’ “movement, and where are we to look for it? It is due to a Jimited extent to the fame which has been given to Califor; each, repeating as they do so: “‘Memnia climate and California product by the enterprise of the people who reside in the Southern part of the State. But, while they advertised California in general, it can hardly be claimed that they advertised Nevada county in particular, for the reason that this is a mining county and is. known as such to the world; and people abroad, in common with many residents of the county, share in the popular prejudice that a mining coujity is emphatically not an agricultural county, nor even a fruit growing regicn. Hence Southern California can hardly be credited with the movement in land matters here. The Land Association hus undoubtedly accomplished much good in this direction, yet its representations have been confined to a large extent to paper, and Eastern people have learned to consider with an ndue degree of allowance the glowing accounts which ‘are daily circulated among them, of thé climate and other big things west of the Sierra Nevada mountuins. the people who are coming here are They are not to be frightened away by the freaks of the weather, nor by any local doubting Thomases who have little faith in the alleged miraculous futility of the soil These people bave evidently become convinced for other reasons than the mere ‘say-ao of advertising material and of land agents. ; In reading the reports of the Directors ofthe State Fair at Sacramento and the Mechanics Fair at San Francisco, we get some solid facts which are not capable ofsuccessful contradiction.

The examinations are regarded among the clerks t!emselves as a farce, for no matter how high your percentage is, you muy be sure you will never be certified for promotion unless you are ‘‘sol'd’” with your chief. Oh no, Mr. Cleveland, you will have to get some better bait than this, before you will ever succeed in catching any of the soldier votes. The boys have not, and are not likely to forget the “ghoulish glee” exhibited by you in some of your messages vetoing pen sione for crippled soldiers. The prospects of the Republicans for electing the President and a majority of the next House of Representatives, grow brighter every day. The Republicans all over the country are united and determined to go.into this fight to win. The Democrats have fully demonstrated their incapacity to govern this country successfully, and it is truly amusing to hear their leaders arguing that because the country has not wholly gone tothe dogs since Cleveland came in, they should be entrusted with.another term: of four years; they do not pretend to point out anything good that they have accomplished, but wish to claim credit and ask a continuance of public confidence because no very great evils have come upon us. If that is not ‘gall’? then what should it be called? But of course no one is surprised at anything a Democrat may do. The great Democratic fight in the dark is still going on. The contestants are supposed to be Cleveland on one side and. Hill and Randall on the other. It is adraw up to the present time. Forty-Ningr. A Bachelor . Bambooziled. The Tidings tells this: Two frolic some maidens who live with their parents not many miles from the Union Schoolhouse recently habited themselves in attire of the sterner sex and called on an elderly bachelor friend. They guyed the old man considerably, winding up with pretending to purchase a number of. kine. The price to be paid caused much haggling, end when it was satisfactorily agreed upon the fiesh ‘‘young men’ departed with a promisé to ‘‘cull tomorrow, pay the money and take the c ttle.” Tur Rev.

The broken telephone or messenger-call wire may at some point .come in contact with an .clootrio light wiro ovor which.a fierce dynamo current is liable to be diverted and rush to the earth, . through the smaller wire and the body of any one who happens to touch the latter. “The electric light wires strung overhead are covered with cotton or some other non-conducting substance, and us long as this insulating covering remains intact the wires can be safely handled; but the friction caused by another wire resting on. the covering soon wears it off and’ makes a good electrical contact between the two wires, rendering the ordinarily innocent wire as deadly as its electric light neighbor. A person standing on the stone pavements is a good electrical conductor, and a double contact is not necessary. The people who know’ a litle abont electricity run more risk than those who do not. The former usually know that to send: telegraph messages a complete circuit is necessary, and that no shock occurs unless you form a connecting link between the two ends of a circuit. Hence they conclude that electric-light wires are harmless unless you are in contact with both ends of the circuit, which is erroneous, as death has resulted in many instances from merely touching an electric wire, or another wire which is in contact with an electric-light wire. = “A night or two ago the writer saw two men, pulling at the end of a broken telephone wire on Broadway, and as it lay across an électric-light ‘wire he cautioned them to desist; they sneered at this suggestion, but finally one ofthem put on a glove and resuined pulling and jerking. “Within three minutes thereafter he lay stunned on ti:e sidewalk.

These had to appear on the first day of Lent, in pentiential garb and with bare feet, before the church door, where their penances were imposed. They were then brought into the church before heads, saying besides the words above quoted: ‘‘Age peenitentiam ut habeas vitam eternam!’”? (Repent that thou mayst have eternal life.) Out of humility and affliction friends of the penitents, though not in the same condition, used to join themselves to guise a similar contrition and offering their foreheads also to be sprinporsons gradually increased until. at. length the aduministration of ashes was extended tothe whole congregation and the rite took its present form.

As a result of the yarns they Yuba City and Marysville they are looked upon as little gods. They actually make many people down there believe that they take bigger risks ceming here than as if they had been scouting among hostile Indians.’’ The fact is that, much as the spies are despised by.the people of the mining sections, no move is ever made to molest them while here. Their talk about the risks they run are manufactured out of whole cloth. What He Says Privately. Superintendent Tiffany was yesteiday shown an article in the Truckee Republican stating that he had not acted in good faith when endeavoring to ascertain if the teachers of the county “meant business’? when they adopted a resolution to hold the next Institute at Truckee. ‘‘I guess,’’ said Mr. Tiffany, “that the editor of the Republican has a snowball on his shoulder and is hunting around for ing wide of the facts in his statements about the contents of the document which was submitted to the teachers to ascertain their feelings about going up there, as well as” about other things. The teachers know this, and I do not care about having a newspaper controversy with him. So you needn’t met.tion it.’ On His Travels. The Eureka (Humboldt county) Times last week says: (Mr. A. kk.

It is due to a Jimited extent to the fame which has been given to Califor; each, repeating as they do so: “‘Memnia climate and California product by the enterprise of the people who reside in the Southern part of the State. But, while they advertised California in general, it can hardly be claimed that they advertised Nevada county in particular, for the reason that this is a mining county and is. known as such to the world; and people abroad, in common with many residents of the county, share in the popular prejudice that a mining coujity is emphatically not an agricultural county, nor even a fruit growing regicn. Hence Southern California can hardly be credited with the movement in land matters here. The Land Association hus undoubtedly accomplished much good in this direction, yet its representations have been confined to a large extent to paper, and Eastern people have learned to consider with an ndue degree of allowance the glowing accounts which ‘are daily circulated among them, of thé climate and other big things west of the Sierra Nevada mountuins. the people who are coming here are They are not to be frightened away by the freaks of the weather, nor by any local doubting Thomases who have little faith in the alleged miraculous futility of the soil These people bave evidently become convinced for other reasons than the mere ‘say-ao of advertising material and of land agents. ; In reading the reports of the Directors ofthe State Fair at Sacramento and the Mechanics Fair at San Francisco, we get some solid facts which are not capable ofsuccessful contradiction.

The prospects of the Republicans for electing the President and a majority of the next House of Representatives, grow brighter every day. The Republicans all over the country are united and determined to go.into this fight to win. The Democrats have fully demonstrated their incapacity to govern this country successfully, and it is truly amusing to hear their leaders arguing that because the country has not wholly gone tothe dogs since Cleveland came in, they should be entrusted with.another term: of four years; they do not pretend to point out anything good that they have accomplished, but wish to claim credit and ask a continuance of public confidence because no very great evils have come upon us. If that is not ‘gall’? then what should it be called? But of course no one is surprised at anything a Democrat may do. The great Democratic fight in the dark is still going on.

The broken telephone or messenger-call wire may at some point .come in contact with an .clootrio light wiro ovor which.a fierce dynamo current is liable to be diverted and rush to the earth, . through the smaller wire and the body of any one who happens to touch the latter. “The electric light wires strung overhead are covered with cotton or some other non-conducting substance, and us long as this insulating covering remains intact the wires can be safely handled; but the friction caused by another wire resting on. the covering soon wears it off and’ makes a good electrical contact between the two wires, rendering the ordinarily innocent wire as deadly as its electric light neighbor. A person standing on the stone pavements is a good electrical conductor, and a double contact is not necessary. The people who know’ a litle abont electricity run more risk than those who do not. The former usually know that to send: telegraph messages a complete circuit is necessary, and that no shock occurs unless you form a connecting link between the two ends of a circuit. Hence they conclude that electric-light wires are harmless unless you are in contact with both ends of the circuit, which is erroneous, as death has resulted in many instances from merely touching an electric wire, or another wire which is in contact with an electric-light wire. = “A night or two ago the writer saw two men, pulling at the end of a broken telephone wire on Broadway, and as it lay across an électric-light ‘wire he cautioned them to desist; they sneered at this suggestion, but finally one ofthem put on a glove and resuined pulling and jerking. “Within three minutes thereafter he lay stunned on ti:e sidewalk. He had worn the coating off, and but for his glove would have probably been killed.’’ , ———--+ 9@ee--The Irrepressible Prospector. The Virginia City Enterprise says: The American prospector is not satisfied with having pushed his way to the head waters of the frozen Yukon and with having sealed the eternal ice fields of Alaska. His head is now up for still more northern regions. The El Dorado of which he now dreams is away up beneath the blazing aurora borealis in the land of the Yakutat. If.the North Pole is ever reached by unwinged, featherless biped it will be by the American: prospector, Dressing in skins of furred animals and subsisting on the blubber diet of the natives of the frozen region within the Arctic. circle, he will work his way. beyond all regions inhabited by even the wild men of the human race. With visions of golden m:untains before him in the far North, he will finally bestride a polar bear and push on until the North Star glitters above his head and ‘“‘Symms’s Hole” yawns beneath his feet.

Monday evening some of the miners who came down from North Bloomfield that afternoon enroute to pastures new dropped:into the Salvation Army barracks on Broad street.

Shortly after he re-entered the room and preserved the required degree of decorum during the balance of the services.

The San Francisco Daily Hotel Gazette of Saturday says: ‘“The climate othe Nevada county fodt-hill region has been frequently noted in the Gazotte as particularly favorable in cases of lung disease, asthmatic complaints, and general debility. As a case in point we may mention that of Mrs. M. J. Lawyer, an aged lady whose home is in Oakland and who has for several successive years made a long stay at the Naticnal Exchange Hotel at Nevada City, at each recurring visit entirely regaining the health which seemed to desert her as soon as she left the invigorating yet mild air of the Sierra foot-hills. ‘he Rector Brothers have on file similar testimoniats from hund reds of others who have been equally benefited. California has health stored’ away somewhere for somebody ; and he who can not find it at the sea-side or in the warm interior valleys, can ‘‘flee as a bird to.the mountains,’ and ~particularly—so say those who have been there—to the balm-breathing slopes of the Nevada county foot-hills.’’ Usep .two bottles of Ely’s Cream Balm and it has cured me completely o! catarrh.
