. inches wide, being oval-shaped on the A FAMOUS RELIC A Snuff-Box that Belonged to the Barl of Buchan, George Washington and Com- modore Decatur, It is Now the Property of Lewis Williams, of Belleville, Il An interesting souvenir is in the possession of Lewis Williams, city marshal of the city of Belleville, Ill. 1t is a snuff-box, which, according to tradition and the written history ac companying it, was made from the wood of the tree that sheltered Sir William Wallace after he and his army had been defeated in the terrible bat- tle of Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland, fum,ln July 22, 1208, The box, which has several compartments, is now over years old, and is in a perfect state, with the exceptions of the loss of sev- eral o1 the hinges to the lids, The wood of which this ancient snufi-hox is made no one appears to be famihar with, but it resembles the cherry of the present day. Tt is five inches long and two and three-fourths top with a flat bottom. " In the mid- dle of the box is the compartment for snuff, which is closed by a'lid apon which is a silver plate bearing the en araving of the Scottish coat of arms. The hinges of this lid have become worn oub from age and use. In each «ond there is also & compartmentclosed with lids. The hinges of oneof these lids are yet in good condition,while the others are long since gone. The com- partment in oneend is for wafers which were in general use in those and later stimes. The compartment in the other .end 1s for ink, pens and holder or quill, which was more likely used then, From this end of the box run two cir- cular holes, one on each side of the box, and nearly the whole length, ‘One of these holes was for the ink and the other for the keeping of the quill. Tn the middle of the box and just under where the lid of the snuff’ compartment fastens is another nar- row lid. This closes a compartment which is between the bottom of the Aox and the bottom of the snuff com- partment. There is not much room in thiscompartment, and1t is for the keeping of valuable papers, ete. Near -each end of the box is a band ot sil- ver, and around the edges of the lids -of the end compartments there was the same, but they are no longer there. The box has yet a high polish and is good for 500 or m.ore years, This box was presented to Gen. Geo, Washington by the earl of Buchan, awho had received it from Goldsmith's company of Edinburgh, Scotland, which company, at the request of the carl, consented to its transfer to Gen. Washmgwn The box then was con- sidered a valuable souvenir gift on account of its age and history, and was in a manner revered by Seottish chiets and people on account of the event its existence commemorated. The trec of which this box was made wag‘cut pieces and taken by the Scotch soldiers and people and made into souvenirs to honor and remem- ber the brave though defeated Wallace and that signal bat- tle, in which from 20,000 to 40,000 of Wallace's men bit the dust, Altho Washington in_his last will qnunl bequest & the box, in which he tted it to the earl of Suchan or Lis heirs, it seems that the bequest was not faithfully carried eut, as the box went into the possession of Cowmodore Decatur, and was by him presented to Catherine Clark, the present owner's grandmother, who was on intimate terms with the com modore’s family. It wag in 1844 pre- sented by Catherine Clark in D, ware to her son, V. L. Williams, her of the present owner 1846 a representative from Scotland | came on this country and ascert ing that the box was -in_the pos. |1 1 of . V.; Li Willisws, lleville, Iil,, he continued his to that ]\l.u:l‘. He offered M 8600 for the | journe Williains the sum of $ wanting it to place in the Scottish museum, Mr, Williuns declined to take the swm, saying that its associa tious made it invaluable to hin. The Scotchman then asked what he would take for it, and Williams would not set a price, as he would not part with it. The managers of the centennial exhibition, in 1876, at Philadelphia, desired to obtain it for exhibition, but Mr. Williams would not let it go, not being willing to trust it out of his pos- session. A few years ago V. L, Wil- liams died, and this interesting relic Eluflvd into the possession of Lewis Williams, his son, its present owner. In the unnp.llhnun of the box forval- uables or papers is the following, writ- ten on note paper, in the handwriting of the late V. L. Williams: *“This box is made of the tree that sheltered Sir William Wallace at the battle of Falkirk, and was presented to Gen. Washington as such. Washington presented it to Commodore Decatur and Commodore Decatur presented it to Catherine Clark, my mother, and she to me, Volney L, Williams. This box has a Scottish coat of arms on it. There came a man, in 1846, on from Scotland and offered me §600 for it to put it in the Scottish museum, But as I promised my mother to keep it in gremembrance of Washington, Decatur and herself, T refused to accept the aer. Ho then asked me what weuld take for it and T told him I woxld not part with it,” [$igned) V. L WiLLiavs, The present owner zealously guards and as greatly prizes the an- cient snuff-box as did hn father and would not past with it, o is going to have the linges, which are gone, replaced and the fact noted upon pu. per to be placed in the proper com. partment the box t be a portion of | being informed u( rom Flanders Edward I, this hastened home and marched towards Scotland, where he gained the battle of Falkirk in ties. 1208, Wallace still continued to harass the English people, but in 1505 he was betrayed into their hands by Sir John Monteith, in whom he had confided. The king sent him iz chains to London, where he was executed on Tower Hall, August 23, 1305, He was beheaded and guartered and the parts sent to the four parts of the country. His story is familiar to all the world throvgh Miss Porter’ famous novel, the ‘‘Scottish Chiefs, Mr. Williams has also another sou- venir, which he greatly values It is a pearl-handled kise with twenty-four blades of the common.sized pocket- knife, The blades are nearly all emall and with the handle bear the evidence of good workmadship. This knife was the property of Commodors Decatur, who gave it to Mrs, Clark when he presented to her the historic snuff'box, Mr. Williams takes great pleasure in exhibiting these herrlooms to persons desirous of sceing them, but would not, on account of their history and the persons and events they commemorate, part with them for any sum that wouid be likely to be offered. Foeding Forty Cent Corn. With the ¢ on hand and cattte to buy at 0 per hundred, would you sell your corn at forty cents per bushel, or )m\ cattle and feed them This is abaut the form of question put to us on Tuesday by one of our| extensive farmers and hm\\ stock feeders. We replied that while we, verhaps, were not qualified to give an intelligent opinion on that subject, yet we thought the feeding ot forty cent corn to caftle, under any circum- stances was somewhat r Corn is selling in this market to-day at 40 cents per bushel, and dealers are offering to contract at that price, There is every reason to believe that the price will advance with the sea- son, but without considering the probabilities of a raise, farmers should think well before they invest their surplus money, and more particularly before they invest any borrowed mon- ey in cattle exclusively for feeding purposes. There may be ecircum- stances under which a man may feed cattle on borrowed money, with corn at the price named, and make a profit but, if so, he must be one of sufti- cient experience to take every advan- tage there is in the business, Our farmers have derived a nice profit on their stock-feeding opera- tions the past several seasons and we would very much like to sce this state of affairs continue. But ‘‘cir- cumstances alter cases,” and they must bear in mind that the vuling price for corn now 18 50 per cent. higher than any they have fed for years. It iswell enough for fancy feeders, those who buy their corn and stock and feed for purely speculative purposes, to take such chances if they choose too, and farmers are too apt to follow the example of such men without counting the cost or to think that having raised their ewn corn, they are safe enough. But if corn is worth 40 cents to the farmer who has raised it, and if he feeds it to stock and does not get his 40 cemts back, together with compensation for his time and trouble, he loses money. The farmer and stock man, mentioned said to us that he could not afford to feed 40-cent corn, and we have leard a number say if they had the eattle on hand they would sell them ofi’ as quickly as possible, We have no wish to uHu)lll age stock-feeding, but we do wi to im- press upon the minds of farmers the | fact that the present and prospective | | price of corn naturally changes the | couditions, and we would ha them well and thoroughly cousider the ques tion in all its 1 ngs before they in A Dosert Roclaimed. | Correspondence of San Franciseo Chronicle ‘I used to herd sheep all over this valloy, and seven years ago there wasn't as much as a Tiding switch to be found in a day'sride. Fact is, it was all desert The grizzled old rancher who made the foregoing re- mark yesterday told the truth Even yet thero are stretches of country many miles m extent where not a green spear grows - spots of gray earth, sparsely covered by dry grass and short brush, that look as if they were destined never to yield one grain of sustenance to man or beast, Wherever water has not been foreed to flow the desert presents the same forbidding appearance, There is no variety of colors; everything is gray, with occasionally a slight tinge of brown. Little birds, known as “‘chip- pies,” ground squirrels of industrious habits and sprightly ck-rabbits abound; but they so closely resemble thesoil and vegetation in hue that {heir presence #ould remain unknown if they did not at man's approach. of antelopes may often be ob- served, not because their bodies are brizht spots in the landscape, but be- causo they are always at a considerable distance and the curvature of the earth throws their slender torms full st the horizon, The roads in many places lie beneath loozo sand ot dust, and so the traveler with his horses and vehicle soon comes to look 11\.- the vest of nature, Ile has the y soil thickly depesited on 1 cont, his hat, in his whiskers and eyes. A- WROUGHT BY IR TION, THE MIRACLE 3ut this monotony is hroken when | the vicinity of a canal is veached, Under the wonderful influenco of water all beautiful forwms of vegetation have sprang into luxuriantgrowth and bloom, just as if the desext had been treasuring for centuries earth’s pro- ductive powers. Oneamongthe v y spots converted to brightness by i gation is the Eisen vineyard, nlmut four miles from Fresno. In order to roach this place a strotch of desert must be traversed, and the change from sterility to fruitfulness 1s so sud- den as to be almost startling, It is like the quick shifting of scenes in a theatre. One moment the visitor is moving along a dusty road among stunted bru Tl, and the next intsant having passed the gateway, he is driv- ing through a magnificent garden ay- enue, For half amile the way is lined on either side by poplar, cypress, locust, fig, pomegranate and oleander trees. They grow densely, and their folinge almost obscures the view of vineyards stretehing away from the 1 of the drive to the” boundaries of the farm. It is only five s since the first little twigs were planted l)y the roadside. Now the poplars tower loft as if they had been growing for w generation; the cypr trees look like patriarchs, and the oleanders cov- ered with white and pink and deep- red blossoms, are no lenger tender shrubs, but are sturdy trunks. Bright green grasses spring from every bit of unbroken soil, and the wild willow crowds its way into every unwatched corner, Beyond the avenue, on both sides, are acres ot vines, loaded with choice varieties of wine grapes, and at the edge of the vineyard is a collec- tion of cool vaults and adobe build- ings, It is here that one finds the crushers, the mighty tanks, the small- er barrels, the demijohns, the murky goblets, the ~half-score of visiting tasters, and all the other appurtenan- cos of 4 *‘winery” in successful opera- tion, Tt is to these and to many oth- er evidences of cultivation and civili- zation that one is suddenly introduced from the desert plain, contrast has not been too stror drawn. Tu- ed, words cannot m 1t sufticient- ly apparent. But this case is only an illustr; i rughout the entire flows there are vases firmly the season for buying 1 lh\‘ stock, and if they take this fir st | ,vu;m.u cannob retreat witfiout loss, ‘ Look t tter very carefully | before purchasing, and if you d | to purchase, then' go ahead turning neither to the right nor the left, We | vise one way or the other, but present these ideas to beget thought and aitation of tho | subject, and the Pilot would like to hear the opinions of any of our farm- ers on the subject, — Jay Gould Caught for Once. Mr. L. Pine, of this city, on one of his recent trips to Cairo in the inter- est of the Singer company, took their Chicago attorney along to sce that the titles to the property purchased by Mr. Pine for the Singer company were perfect. In the discussion tho question of the right of redemption came up and one of the Cairo mil- lionaires declared there was no re- demption law in Illinois. The Singerattorney showed him the law, but it had not been enforced for twenty y . Halliday hurried out and instructed his agents to buy up all the second mortgage bonds of a railway company whose first mort- gage bonds had recently been bought by Jay Gould. They cost Halliday $1,250,000. He telegraphed Jay Gould that he held the sccond mort- gage paper and perhaps he (Jay Gould) had better call and seo hin, Jay Gould telegraphed back that as he owned the first mortgage paper the wer other didn’t nterest him, Hulliday telegraphed back that Jay Gould’s attorney ought to post himself on the 1llinois re- demptien law, Inashort time a tel- egram was received from Jay Gould | that his agent would call o llu]lnln) | When he came Halliday asked an ad vanco of £40,000 over ‘what he had paid for the bonds, Jay Gould “kick- ed,” snd Halliday advanced the price another 840,000, and he proposes to advance by forties until Jay d | comes to time, which he will have to | resent inyvestment, wllace was born about youngest son of Sir| colm Wallace, of E eli- shive, Scotland, In 1205 ke slew | on of the English governor of | a duel, whereupon he fled > the chiof of a band of ad- | nturers.

Of the total area of the country considerably more than 1,000,000 acres are susceptible of irri- gation, and, much of the foot-hill region beyond the reach of practica- ble canals is capable of yielding crops under a careful system of dry farming, The district of country lying between King’s and San Joaquin rivers, which has Fresno for its actual center, com- priscs at least 500,000 acres of good lands, Most of thisis held in large tracts, but the system of col- , which has already proven ful, will soon convert the o rches into small farms, or- chards and vineyards, Lomes and ;unnluuug wealth for thousands thing can be done with these fields except by irmgation, In view of this fact, King's river lLas been tapped by several canals at conven- ient points, and alveady sufficient wa- ter can be brought down to render fertile twice the arca now under cul- tivation.
