For many years after the sht was established it was a question ther it would be lighted or not. The epers paid little attention to their busi- ess, and oftentimes, it is said, the lamp was lighted by some rancher while they were absent. ¢ after the excitement of the war had ed the Government was more strict rard to such matters. Appropra- were made for improving the light- service, and practical men were em- ation and their homes house ployed to investigate and report on what as needed. As Point Bonita required a sum of money to put it in first-class ndition, no changes, except minor ones, re mude until 1877, but the work then ne was properly finished and is still ° cate to guard | the 1ar§e oil lamp alight while the lanterns Wwere being changed. Cuptain Brown never missed a night in the lighthouse un- tila few months ago, when he was sick :nth an atiack of la grippe. In addition };7 his duties as lightkeeper, Captain ”rown has_done considerable work asa ife-saver. Wrecks of vessels have strewn the coust in all directions as far as one can see when standing in the lighthouse. 1t Was over there the Costa Rica went ashore,” said the captain, pointing_to the left, “‘and right down there the tug Rescue went aground. Over there the ship Eliza- beth went to pieces; there is where the schoO'neI' Pet sank; on that rock over there the New York struck, and near the same place the Whitelaw went down.” During the twenty-four years the captain estimates that he and his men have saved over eighty people that would have per- ished but for their timely assistance. They have taken several hundred off vessels that simply “grounded” when the seawas smooth, On one stormy night a man was heard crying for help at the base of the Cliff beneath the old lizhthouse. Captain Brown could not see him, bat he climbed down 300 feet on a rope and found the man, almos: dead, in a deep pool, some- what sheltered from the breakers. Both were hauled to the top with difficulty. The greatest number of men have been saved from fishing vessels that got into the “bit of nasty water” just beneath the cliff. The lighthouse has'a good compart- | went boat that will Jstand pretty rough water, and the men are ready at all times to lend aid to those in danger. The residences of the keepers are large comfortable buildings, standing in shel- tered positions on the eastern slope of the cliff. ‘Mrs. Brown, the captain’s wife, bas been to great pains and succeeded in grow- ing an extensive garden of flowers and vegatables that form a bright spot of color in the barren surroundings. The lighthouse tract of land consists of forty-eight acres adjoining the Lime Point government reservation. That portion of 1t north of tne lighthouse is very good soil, and several springs of pure water flow from the hillsides. It affords pasturage for sev- eral horses and cows belonging to the lighthouse, but the ground is not of such a character as to be cultivated with profit. On account of 1ts isolated position few opie visit Point Bouita lighthouse. Some days there will be fifteen or twenty visitors, and at other times the keepers will not see a stranger for weeks. BATES STILL NSETILEL The Railroad Tariff to Follow That via the Isthmus Route. Another Victory for the Panama Railroad Company—More Fric- tion in Prospect. Ailthough the Pacific Mail Steamship Company has been forced to comply with the demand of the Panama Railroad Com- pany to reduce the rates from 60 cents per 100 pounds to 40 cents on east-bound busi- ness, all possibility of serious trouble be- Point Reyesto the north flashesevery | tween the two corporations named has not | been removed. The new rates on the Panama route go | into effect on the 8th inst. They make such a difference between the all-rail or overland route that it is very unlikely the | transcontinental roads by and allow business to leave their roads to take advantage of the much cheaper | rates via the isthmus. ‘When the new Panama rate goes into ef- fect it will mean a difference of $7 per ton to all who ship through freight eastward. The railroad rate is 75 cents per 100 pounds and the steamship rate will be $8. The ex- isting differential is but $3 per ton. But in his demsand for a 40-cent rate President Simmons of the Panama Com- pany went further than to ask merely for such a reduction. He insisted that in case of any reduction by the transcontinental confronted the engineers in shape of | railroads, a proportionate reduction should | be made by the Isthmus combination. The Southern Pacific Company, control- City, naturally have the greatest influence in rate-making for eastbound business, | and it will have to take the initiative in any reductions that may be contemplated. It was learned from one of the officials connected with the freight department of the Southern Pacific Company that a re- duction would undoubtedly be made to meet the cut of the Panama-Pacific Mail combination, but just when it would be made he could not tell. General Manager Stubbs is expected home from the East on Wednesday, and it is thought that the matter will then be formalily taken up. Had the 60-cent rate via Panama re- mained in force it was the intention of the Southern Pacific Company in conjunction with the other transcontinental lines to raise rates on other commodities than those on which an advance was made shortly after the signing of the latest Panama-Pacific Mail contract. But this step of the Panama people has upset all such calculations. The Panama people say they are deter- ed to get their full share of through ht, and shall insist on such a differ- ential, as experience will show, as will give them the business, and that they pro- pose to disregard altogether the interests of the Southern Pacific Company or any of the transcontinental lines. They even go so far as to intimate that if C. P. Huntington’s stalking horse, the Pacific Mail Company, fails to live fairly and squarely up to the letter and spiriv of the new contract the agreement will be abrozated and the Panama Railroad Com- pany will again play a lone hand on both m the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, P POETS AND AUTHORS. They Are to Gather in Force at Mil- waukee Next April. An impending event of contemporary interest is the round-up of poets and authors on March 10 at Milwaukee, under the auspices of the Milwaukee Ethical So- ciety. Milwaukee has long been almost as famous for its poets as for its beer. Ella Wheeler, formerly the poetess of passion, now Mrs. Wilcox, came from there, and others almost equally famous developed and remained there and are the basis through their deliverances of what has become widely known as the Milwaukee Schooi of Poetry, says Harper’'s Weekly. 1i a convention of poets is a good thine there is no better or worthier place to hoid it than Milwaukee. R It seems, however, to be fairly question- able whether there is true profit in getting poets together. Aslon: as they are apart they can use their own volition about reading or hearing one another’s verse, but brought face to face and grouped in bunches they cannot very well dodge. What makes the prospect more doubtful is that the poems which are most likely to be read are unpublished ones, unsold, and possibly unsalable, which threaten to perish with their beauties unrevealed. All too many of them are likely to be long poems, for of course the marketabieness of every poem is in inverse proportion to 1ts-| length. The sort of convention which would seem most likely to §ive poets com- fort and satisfaction should be one where only a limited number of poets would be let "in, and where the bulk of the at- tendance should be made up of hardy listeners, ——————————— C.

A Grand Army Comrade Who Would Take a Whack at John Bull. DR To the Jannary number of the Nineteenth Century, Henry M. Stanley contributed an article, entitled “The Tssue Between Great Britain and America.” Mr. Staniey had just returned from a three months' tour on this continent. He had traveled from Mon- treal to Vancouver, to San Francisco, New Orleans, and thence to New York. Everywhere he talked with Americansand found a universal desire for a brush’ with England. In hiscontribution tothe maga- zine he ascribed the cause of American hostility to the Canadian Pacific Railway and matrimonial alliances between rich American girls and titled Englishmen. The article was read in San Francisco by Dr. C. B. Hutchins. The doctor, whoisa veteran of the late war and a comrade of George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., was fully convinced that Mr. Stanley knew better than to ascribe the American feel- ing to such trivial causes, and while not being personaily acquainted with the dis- tinguished African explorer, wrote him a refreshing letter. In this letter he re- minded the member of Parliament that the conduct of ‘“blamed fool” American girls bad nothing to do with the case. As far as the Canadian Pacific Railroad was concerned the doctortold Stanley that the militia could take it if we ever should need it. Thenin a straightforward man- nier Stanley was told how Americans for a century had yielded to British aggressions in boundary disputes and how in our struggle for National existence England nad sent ships-of-war and masses of armed men to Canada to menace us. Reference was made to the acts of Great Britain in building ana sending out ships with Eng- lish guns, English ammunition and Eng- lish gunners to drive our commerce from the ocean. The doctor closed by sayin, that he was 70 vears of age and had serve in the war to preserve tbe Union, but not- withstanding his age he would gladly “shou.der his musket again to take a whack at John Bull.” s Dr. Hutchins did not write expecting a reply, but sent the letter to ‘‘free his mind.” To his surprise, the Hon. Mr. Stanley replied in a six-page letter, which was received day before vesterday. Stan- ley admitted that he had found the feeling against England in the United States | wide, deep and tierce, and that when he | returned to England he tola the people | there that a storm was brewing in the West which would throw in the shade the troubles in Egypt and Armenia. Every one wanted to know what it was all about, and he told them that American hostility to England was deep and widespread. The English received the news with prefound surprise. They were absolutely uncon- | scious that any differences with the United | States existed. | Mr. Stanley ciaimed that John Bull had | not wronged Uncle Sam since 1862, and | that was thirty-four years ago. He knew that America was growing strong and powerful, and was preparing to fight Eng- land. He believed the conflict would come as the American press and public senti- ment would force it. He deplored the idea of & war between the. two igremost nations of the world, and did not like the spectacle of the Russian and Teuton looking on a8 spectators, Stanley held that if our commerce was driven from the ocean it would have been restored had not the greater weaith of in- | terior development claimed the attention of the coumrg. He contrasted that enor- mous and substantial development of our | incerior with England’s fleet on the sea to show that America had been the gainer. Stanley assured the doctor thatJohn Bull was a just_man, and did not want to quarrel with Uncle Samn, and that there would be no trouble unless it was forced on England.
