Moreover, the frosts help to color the follage, al- though In this country the deciduous trees drop the greater part of their follage before the frosts come, The soft maples, olms, white birches, and locust trees, which have been naturalized here, for the most part, have cast their leaves. Yet the maples take on a wealth of color before the leaves fall; so the frost does not do all the coloring. eucalyptus, which casts Ita leaves at midsummer, and continues dropping them until late in autumn, has & wealth of color which s hardly noticed. The coniferous trees provail so largely in California that the high colors of declduous trees which grow on the hillsides and mountain slopes of eastern states are rarely seen here. Yet In every dell after the first frosts have come in this latitude, one may find patches of color shading off In the last. The Nevada pewspapers, save those published in Virginia City,unite In condeming the swindling methods pur- sued, No powers of Imaglnation could pot- tray the misery that stock gambling on this const hes cansed.

Mr. Blaine seoms espe- cially to be the sport of some malicious splrits, who let him go on nearly to the gonl of his ambition, and they suddenly drop him In chill waters.

Even werea bonanza dlsoovered, the result would be nothing but a ‘‘deal” —an enormous Inflation of prices, follow- ed by a correspondin g depression.

One life was lost and three men 0 serlously injured that life in thelr case was despaired of. It was a case cf peculiar interest. A man known as Pantheon Estrada, a worker in guitars, tying a stone to the end of an ordinary wire threw it over the electric wire. from goldto scarlet, with a great many svbdued tones, which artists, who are good colorists, do not fail to notice. The firs and the pines clothe many of the mountains 1n eternal green. When they are bare, they are as desolate as In Spain until the vernal season sets The first rains have already come. But the winter rains have not yet ap- peared. There is a sort of hush between the autamn and winter. 1If one goes to the woods he wlill hear hardly any other sound than that of the harsh and obstrepeous bluejay. Here and there will be a tapping on the trunks, and an occasional equirrel descends to see what provision in the way of acorns there may yet be left on the ground. In the open, where the ground Is soft, there are the tracks of the sneaking coyote. Even owls cease In a measure to hoot in the winter meason, and the mourn- ful sound of doves has alto- gether veased. A great silence has fallen upon the woods. There is hardly a singing bied. The linnets In the sub- urban gardens, which two months ago were 80 active in feasting on the ripe frult, bagloning even earlier with cher- rles, and continuing until the last ripe vear had disappeared, have become silent also. No mcre songs and no more dep- redations, for the good reason that there is nothing to steal, and the pairing season has not begun. The white frosts are the the fitting introductlon of winter. They precedo the heavler rains. The trade winds have died out, They will not prevail in this latitude before the middle of next May. Some are un- kind enough to say that It s a pity that they should ever prevail. But these winds are the Lord’s avengers, sent up as 80 many messengers from the salt ocean to deliver the clty from plagues and pes- tllence. San Francisco has not been a clean city from the day of its foundation, There is Oriental dirt and Occidental dirt, It has cometo be a forelgn city. Merchandise fills the sldewalks, and in many places crowds the pedestrian into the street. Offal is .thrown there. ~ The six month's trade - | winds of summer and the six months’ rain are the two sanitary agents which keep watch and ward over the city. The most most dangorous weeks of the year, on the score of health, are those when neither the trade winds nor the ralns prevail.

Ophir, Mexico, Slerra Nevada, Union, and other favorite stocks wkich brought hundreds of dollars a share, are now quoted in ceits, The great bonanza stocks, Con, Virginia and Californla, which once sold for over $600 a share,have lately been con- solidated,snd under the designation of Con, California and Virglnia bring just ten cents per share. What an amazing shrinkage in price! And there is not a stock on the fist that has not boen assessed during the year for more than its present price. The *‘outside stocks,” as they were for- merly called, meaning shares in mines not located on the Comstock, now sell, in numerous instances, for more than any Comstock shares. It is & never- ceasing wender, how people continue to pay assessments on stock that is practl- oally worthless. For half a dozen years or more the explorations in the deep levels of the old lode have discovered nothing of value, so far, at least, as is known to the public, Bat still the miners go deeper and deeper into the bowels of the earth and Into the pockets of the stockholders, As fast as one assessment s collected another s levied, and so, from year to year, the pumps have been kept golog and low-grade ore stoped out for the benefit of the mill owners. Those deep holes on the side of Mt, Davidson have absorbed many millions of dollars of late years without returning a dollar of profit to the dupes who pay the assess. ments, Yets strange infatuation still clings to the Comstock, and the unfortu- nate viotims of stock gambling continue to devote their hard-earned savings to the psyment of the relentle ments, The bare possibili bonanza may yet be found ficlent to lure them on. hints are from time to time thrown out that the management have dlscovered rich bodles of ore whose exlstence they keep from the public, and persons can be found who really belleve that such con- coalments have been made. But the be- lief that rascality of this kind is practiced by the mine managers, strange to say, serves but to increase the disposition to buy stock and psy assessments, Fraudu- lent and wicked the mansgement of the Comstock mines has certalnly been, and will continue to be, doubtless. to the Estrada immediately fell dead in his tracks. The contact of the two wires in- stantly killed him. A policeman stand- ing by and a street car conductor had much of thelr clothing burned off, and were themselves 8o seriously injured that their lives tremble in the balance. The electric current affocted others also more or less. The scene succeeding the trag- edy was demoralizing. For a moment the dum terror of seeing strong men tot- ter and fall, as if struck by some invisi- ble hand, held the crowd spellbound. Succeeding the terrorized apathy came a wild rush for life. Fortunately, exits were plentiful, and to that was due the fact that many were not stamped to death. John Herbert of the electric light com- pauy mounted a ladder, with asilk hand- kerchief in hand to remove the wire thrown by the unfortunate Estrada, The rain was falling heavily at the time but he did not notice that the handkerchief was becoming damp. He applied it to the wire to remove it, and recelved him- self a severe shock that threw him from the ladder. Falling to the stone pave- ment his head was cut open. He wlll recover, however. The police believe that Estrada represented a gang of plck- pockets and thleves and that his object in throwing the wire was to extinguish the electric lights and give his pals a chance to operate. Whether that was so or not is not known for he who could have told has had his lips burned to silence. ———— YOUNG MAN, READ THIS, THE VOLTAIO 5ELT UOMPANY, of Marshall Mieh{lgnn. ofier to send their celebrated ELro TRIC VOLTAIO BELT and other Erecrrio Ap- PLIANCES on trial for thirty days, to men (young or old) afflicted with nervous_debility, loss of vitality and manhood, and all kindrs troubles. so for rheumatism, neuralgia, paralysis, and many other diseases, Complete restoration to health, .vigor and manhood guaranteed.

Fortane never seemed surer for him than it did this fall, but fatal November found him again *‘unhorsed by the strong god, circum- stance.” Kor years he lived in a com- fortable house on Fifteenth street that he owned, but when he became a cabinet officer, he started to build a house appro- priate to that rank and his own private fortune, In order to finish it appropriate- 1y ho sold his old home to WilllamR, Tra- vers of New York, and the salowas hard- ly consumated before he found the neces- sity of a larger house gone, His colleague, Secretary Windom, who stepped right back from the cabinet to his place in the senste, built himself a grand mansion at the same tlme, and his Minnesota con- stituente, avho sent him here a poor man, resented his suddenly acquired wealth, and his costly residence crushed him be- neath it, politically. Mr. Blaine atill having ambitione, got out of his great house and ren‘ed it to a richer man, be- sance prowling around after people with his portable camera, electric slides and thiogs. Oae day he would be found am- bushed beside the railway track and fiil- ing up the switch-tenders with beer, In the happy antlcipation of catching a good impression of & first-class smash-up; the noxt, he was trying to bribe some dying man’s family to allow him to take a snap shot at the patient just when the death rattle set in, In fact, it is stated that once, when some miners were having a terrific quarrel in a bar-room, Studberry ap- paared suddenly in the doorway with his instrument over his head and exclaimed, excitedly: “Walt till T put on & dry plate before you shoot, gentlemen! Get your pistols roady and fire together when 1 say three; I want to get in all the flashes.” Woll, as we were going to say, this same Scudberry was engaged tor girl named Pliffey, and somehow had got the {dea into his head that Amelia—her name was Amelia, and she wore a num- ber four shoe, which is mighty good for a Maysville girl—was uvntrue to him; In fact, that sho was still encouraging to the nttentions of a dry-goods clerk named Boggs. So Scudberry, h.ving just recbived an automatic clockwork attachment to his apparatus, carrled his machine over to fiancee’s home on pretense of taking the piotures of the famlly, He took Amelia's mother in the act of spanking the baby; took the bady In the act of swallowing a pin; took the cat in the act of eatching a mouse, took dinner and then took his leave. Sondberry explained that he was going to be out of town that evening, and asked that hls camera be allowed to stand in a corner of the parlor until his return the next day. Last night Boggs, the alleged rival called on Amelia, and it was natural to suppose that they were both unaware that the photographle apparatus in the corner—the lens of which was adjusted 80 a8 to rake the sofa fore and aft, so] to speali—was auntomatically adjusted to take an instaneouns negative at preciseiy 1130 pm, that being the hour when the jealous Scudberry supposed the fos- tivities wonld be in progress if atall.

Mr. Blaine's family have felt the nip- ping touch of fate as well. bis son, Walker Blalne, who is an assistant counsel before the court of Alabama claims, is desirous of being advanced to the vacant judgeship on that bench, which carries with it the comfortable salary of $6,000 per annum. This favor: ite son acted as his father’s private secretary last summer and fall, and though an average young man, does not come up to general expectations, that gauge him by the measure of his father's abilities. It is sald that Pres- ident Arthur has expressed hls willing- ness to appoint the young man to the judgeship, if Mr. Blaine personally re- quests the favor for his son, and there is where the thumb-ecrew 1s applied. As Mr. Blaine intends always to reside here, and this son is equally attached to Washington lfe, 1t is necessary that he should have some kind of a govern- ment position that will give him an in- come and: a social standing of his own, but it will be a trial to have to ask the favor of President Arthur, who, they claim, was so indifferent to Mr. Blaine's interests durlng the campaign. While the matter rests in suspense, Walker Blaine is realizing the fleeting character of earthly grandeur, as the croatures and satellites, who flattered and surrounded him at his club hous last sprioe: and summer, are dropping | away, flocking to other standards, and allowing him new occasionally to pay for his own cigars and seltzer. e —— ©UBHION-STUFI'ING. e An Insight of Some of the Tricls. of) the Trade by a Repairer, [ New York Sum. Lu the rear of a small harness shop.in a New Jersey village, the other day, the proprietor was making a thumping nolse and ralsing a big dust by pounding with & whip-stock a heap of curly black.hair,. which he had taken out of an old car- riage cushion. ‘“What are you pounding that hair for?’ was asked when he stopped to get a breath and wipe the moisture from bis forehead with a red cotton handkerchief. It is not hair,” said the man, *“What is it then?’ “A mixture of marsh grass, moss and cocoanut fiber. Good imitation, though,, isn't it? You see,hair 18 a first class arti- cle for stufting mattresses, cushions, oto:, bat it 1s expensive. It is clipped from the tails of horses, dead and alive, from the tails of cattle, from the bellies off |/ hogs, and from the human head. It is twisted into ropes to make it kinlky, and when the kink is set it is used to stuffithe cushion, It cost alot of money even whea freely mixed with shoot hals. Most people prefer a genuine halr cushion at 50 cents, to a’genuine hair cushion at 5. So the manufacturers uccommodate them with this mixture, Sowetimes fine split whalebone is put in the mixture,and sometiwges, though not often, it is ditated with hair, The stofF costs from $20te $28 aton, Itpacks with use, but the cover of the cheap cushion wears out about as soon. We can raske a uew cover and then use the ol& filllng over agasin by whipping it wita a slender whip to liven it up.

From all of them I heard of hard times, low prices: and financlal distress. 1 was shown samples-of wheat and bins of wheat, and the price the cora was bring— ing in the country markets-was given to me in desponding toness This farmer eold his wheat for 20’ cents per bushel, that one for 21/ cents; anothez for 18 cents, another for 37, cents, another who sold directly after harvest received 40 cents. I heard of the prices.that many farmers-{lknew, bat did not see, received for their.grain. The aversge for wheat was 35 cents—15 cents below the cost of production. These prices mean bank- ruptey. g The feeling against the xailroads in the portion of'the wheat I'was in was-exceed- ing bitter. That the roads do not seem willing to share the dlstreas.of the Sarm- ers by reducing the fright charges is a fact, and it 1s a fact that hostile legisla- tion is certain, The farmers are zesolute in thelr determlnation to force the rail- roads to rsduce transportation charges on grain to a point that will: correspond to its value., It may be that thesa roads can thrive when the country tributary to them is on the verge of bankruptoy, but that is not the opinlon of the intelligent [ farmers J. talked with. . Oneof my neighbors, a gragp-haired man from Ohlo, during our talk. af the probuble outcome of the low price of ‘wheat, oaid: *‘This. governmen’ cares nothing, for the people; and the people are the biggest fools on earth..
