Ill response to an inquiry from the Boston Globe, Dewitt Talmage gives his opinion of journalism of today. He thinks it is all the time and that, for energy, attractiveness and moral power, it is almost miraculous.

He would stop the grow Is against it, cease calling it the unscrupulous press, and have reformers and clergymen employ it more and more for the dissemination of right ideas. If often the newspaper is open to bad news we must remerater that it is also open to good news, and there is not a church or a Christian, or a reformatory institution that cannot have justice done him or it, if he will apply to the reportorial or editorial rooms of any resjiectable newspaper.

Cornwell, President of the Napa Board of Trade, is in receipt of the following letter from J. A. 8. Reed, General Traveling Agent, Union Pacific R. R.

It is dated at Chicago Feb. 20th: Dear Sir: Your letter of the 12th, sent me by your agent, D. W. Hitchcock, at Ban Francisco, just received. I shall be glad to welcome your agent, Mr.

Any and all advertising matter you see fit to send me I wfll have our traveling men distribute in a judicious manner. Hoping our combined efforts will result in turning the large emigration from Southern California to the Central and northern part of your great Btate, with kind regards I remain, very truly yours.

Ty Talley Bean. St. Helena Star, Feb. 24. John Ward died at the Home Monday, February 20, 1888, after a long and painful illness, in the 73d year of his age.

Ward served in Company California cavalry, from May 4th, 1863, to June 12, Wife, Funeral on the 22d. We had tlie pleasure Wednesday, of seeing the diploma awarded by Mechanics Institute of San Francisco, to C. P. Adamson, of Rutherford, for the splendid exhibit of wiDes made at the last fair. It is a fl ne piece of work and Mr.

Adamson is Justly proud of it. Business at the depot has been livelier this week than for some months past. Including to-day, eighteen carloads of wine have been shipped to San Francisco, one carload to Philadelphia and a carload of part wine and fifty-two halfbarrels of brandy in tend to New York. Also a carload of hones and old junk to San Francisco. The total numter of gallons of wine shipped Is 48,000.

Mr. T. C. White, the proprietor of Raisina Vineyard of Fresno, Mr. Goldstein, owner of the old Sigrist farm, sometimes known as the Smoltz place, west of Union Station, is putting out a large numter of fruit trees of different varieties.

These are on the plateau a short distance from the road, formerly covered with grape vines. Over one hundred acres in one field are now in fruit trees. Undoubtedly this will, in a few years, be one of the finest orchards in the valley. Besides this there is on the same place an orchard two or three years old, on tlie flat in front of the house, containing ten acres or more. Immediately opposite Is the fine apricot orchard of L.

M. Turner, now in full bloom, presenting a beautiful appearance. Adjoining this is the 80 or 90-acre orchard of S. M. Tool.

Just below is the large peach, apricot and prune orchard of W. A. Fisher. This locality bids fair to be, at no very distant date, the fruit-growing center of the lower Napa valley. The soil is unexcelled for fruit-raising.

Union Station is a well situated shipping point, or if steamer transportation is preferred, tlie distance to Umu can be cov ered in a very siu.t time. From tfee Hmm JmsIk PlalM. We extract the following from a private letter from Tulare, situated midway between Modesto and Merced, on the wide San Joaquin plains, east side: We have heavy sand storms most every season, but that of last Monday was the severest known here for very many years. The wind blew a gale for hours, and dust, as floe as the finest of ashes, filled the air and penetrated every crevice in our house. Our' carpets and furniture were sights to discourage the housekeeper when the storm had subsided.

The earth covering the grain, recently grown but not yet sprouted, was entirely removed, and now the grain lies on top of the ground. Wheat plants that were from three to four inches high were left like stranded vessels, high and dry, just clinging to the ground for dear life by a few rootlets, and the stalks were so parched by the hot winds that they could be broken like straw in harvest time. Hundreds and hundreds of acres were thus damaged and the loss to our farmers will he very great. This is too much like the cyclone weather of the States east of the Rockies and I want to find a more agreeable climate somewhere in this Btate, as I know I readily can. Your own valley is as good a place to live In as I know of and I should much enjoy a home within your prosperous Professional (Sarfts.

Residence ot Dr. Hostetler, No. 200 North Mam HI. leblOdwtf In olden times tlie plumage of the peaeoek ss considered among (lie brightest of natures beauties, The proud bird itself was prepared Mitii all its feather on for the grand ten-quels of kings and high nobles, where it held tlie most prominent place. UtiUl within a few years only a small numter of even the Mcalthlest )eronK, erqieoially In America, felt that lliey could afford to Include jieacocks among their js-ts.

The feathers were eostly, and every woman prided herself upon tiie jsrssessiou of a few- in her ten-net. If she Mere foriunate enough to have a fan made of these feathers she felt proud indeed. Gradually, as tlie hunters secured larger quantities, M'ealthy )eople tegan to use them for decorative puroaoii. Elegant screens, some Mith the feathers spread thinly on a elotli surface, and others, Mhich M-ore more cowl ly, ith the feather closely acM ed together; fans Midi silver handles, sofa cushions and chair mutts M'ere made of the brilliant plumage. These feathers Mere even used in the decoration of M'alls and for friezes and dadoes.

But suddenly, and apparently M-ithout cause, the demand ceased. The feathers that had previously leen the joy of the om ner Mere, looked upon Mith distaste and pronounced out of fashion. They ere ruthlessly torn from walls aud screens, and throw into the rute bish heaps. Whence came this sudden and un-exsu-ted dislike? The rejtorter us told that an ancient sdsilitiou to tlse effect that jsoicoeks and )-cooks feathers were sure to bring had luck to their owner had I men revived, and brought ateut the doM ii-fall of tlie fashion. He made inquiries at the stores where feathers Mere formerly supplied anil found that tlie demand for them had ceaed entirely.

At Tiffanys it as said tiiat they had not sold a fan or screen of jceaoock feathers for several years. Gustomors never ask for them. The reporter was informed at other bouses that feathers that formerly sold at high juices can now te olil afned for 25, and 75 cents a hunch. A numter of inqcorter said they were used very little. Daniel Hodnot, a resident of Long Branch, aud a brother-in-law of the lute Daniel Liddy, brought ids Mifo a screen made from peacock feathers from Kurojielast summer.

He told tier of the prevailing siqiei-stition jestingly, and she was not distorted by it. Since then Mr. Hcsinot's house has several time esoiqsMl destruction by fire; a valuuble dog belonging to him lias died without apparent cause; burglars entered the place and stole valuable, and bolb Mr. Liddy and Mr. Hodnot have died.

Finally a lawsuit Id contest Mr. Liddys will is threatened. A', )'. Bun. THE ROOM WILL WOT STOP.

The harriers between the southern and northern sections of California are breaking away. Los Angeles and Ban Diego still have their hand on the boom, but they cannot control it. W. C. Land, an Arizona stock raiser, arrived in Ban Francisco Wednesday.

To a news-pajier reporter he said: I was interested in noticing that there is no cessation in the immigration to California. The cars are crowded to their utmost. I could hardly get a seaton the traiu I came on, anti there were people from everywhere. One thing about the immigration now, however, is that fully half is coming to points north of Los Angeles. Banta Barbara, Ban Louis Obispo and Fresno are catching most of them, and they are 'gradually spreading farther north.

This boom will not stop, I am satisfied, till it reaches clear to the Oregon line, and there it will take a second move and go clear through to Puget Bound. As soon as they found I was an old Californian I was plied with all sorts of questions about the Btate. I talked to men from at least ten diti'ereut States east of the Rocky Mountains. Many of these concluded to stop a I Hint. Fresno, while others came farther north.

jy2idwlf Rural Retreats. Summer travel will soon set in and our hotel men will have their hands full of business and their houses full of guests. The crop of summer boarders promises to he unusually large and the need of increased accommodations in the country is just now being discussed by the city press. In treating the subject the S. F.

Bulletin incidentally says it is only a matter of time when Senator Stanford will have his hotel project at Calistoga completed, and that a new resort on the cottage plan will be opened in May on Howell Mountain, near Bt. Helena. Napa Soda Springs will as usual he the favorite stopping place in this part of the State for tourists and the almost numberless places of refuge in this vicinity for the weary will he ready to give welcome and rejuvenation to all comers. A Delusion and knurr. They are reporting hack in Kansas that the senior member of the real estate firm of Evans Rust, this city, is displeased with California and would, if he could satisfactorily arrange his business, shake the dust of Napa from his feet and return to Atcliinson.

But the contrary is true. The doctor likes California, and more especially this part of it. He is glad he came and has no regrets to offer for leaving the blizzard belt for one of thecitrus variety. Oh, no, you stayers east of the Rockies will have to resort to other tactics if you succeed in checking immigration from your own to this more favored State. You might as well shut up shop and come along with the crowd.

AFTER BRIO IIUI'S IKSTITL TIOST. Culberson of Texas has proposed in the House a resolution as an amendment to the Constitution relating to polygamy. It is calculated to stamp out the Utah evil and provides First, that polygamy shall not exist or lie lawful within the United States, or in any place subject to their jurisdiction. Second, polygamy shall consist of marriage relations by contract, or in fact existing at the same time between a jierson of either sex and more than one person ot' either sex. Third, Congress shall have power to concur with the several States to enforce this Act.

HR. WYLIE'S LECTURE On Travel la a Fcrclg Laml. An appreciative audience of two hundred and fifty people gathered in the lecture room of the Presbyterian church last evening to hear the pastor talk of his journeyings in foreign lands. By way of introduction Mrs. Wylie sang a favorite selection, Sands Dee, and then Mr.

Wylie commenced speaking. He said he was present pursuant to promise long ago made to the ladies, and though suffering from a severe cold, would do his best to make his part of the contract good. The three things to be looked after in arranging for a trip abroad are the pocket, the back and the head. The cost of traveling in Europe has been fixed as low as $1 .23 per day, but $5 is nearer the figure, and this does not include coBt of extras in the shape of wearing apparel or the little souvenirs you will buy. In providing for your back, take as little baggage as possible.

In the matter of the head, have it well stored. Prepare the mind for what it is to meet. To the person who has no appreciation of poetrj of music, of art, or of pleasure, traveling is a bore. Pictures do not please him. Ruins have no inspiration for him.

Before starting upon your journey familiarize yourself writh the history of the places you are to visit; think of the people among whom you are to travel and learn their language. What is the open sesame in foreign lands? Speak the language. Thus you enter into sympathy with the people you respect their institutions and tongue you take the direct road to their hearts. As to the rules to be followed in traveling: First, do not travel; stay at home. You have the finest climate in the world right here in California.

The history of every country is to be had. You may read it at home, and thus avoid the numberless annoyances that come to the wanderer through the mails about home affairs. If you will go, however, always be on time; always be philosophical; always feel well even though the train is five hours late, by having something in your pocket to eat or drink; always be courteous and he prepared to come in contact with thorough human swrine. The speaker vividly pictured the comforts and discomforts to he found on board of ship the paintul regularity of meals, the seasickness which is advertised not to kill but which it is a lie to say will do you good, the impossibility of going to sea often enough to try all the remedies recommended for this peculiar sickness, and the little matter of busiuess one has with the Custom House officer on lauding. To the question, What is test worth seeing in Europe? the lecturer answered, that depends upon the point of view, the temperament of the mind, etc.

First of all the scenery each country has its own peculiar kind. The sky of England is not so clear as ours because of the black smoke of the millions of furnaces of its manufaceories and industries. The chief characteristics of Holland, Germany, Italy and Spain were pointed out. In some countries it is more difficult than in others to gather a knowledge of the language. The German, for instance, wrould rather be taught English than teach you German.

This is complimentary to the German, who wishes to learn something. The places of inspiration in Europe are varied and myriad in numter. It depends up-ou the disposition and taste of the traveler which shall be visited. Among the great structures of interest is to be numbered the Colosseum in the city of Rome eliptical in form, covering five acres of ground, and of three styles of architecture Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. Its longer diameter is 615 feet, it shorter 510, and in its completed state it accommodated eighty thousand spectators.

Then far off in Spain is an interesting building, the temple of Philip II a tomb for the Kings of Spain built in the shape of a gridiron, unique, of massive granite and beautiful in its grand solidity a structure of which the asylum is a reminder. St. Peters, on the banks of the Titer, and other great edifices of note were referred to. Of all the things to be seen in the older countries the most interesting are the ruins, because of their association with the past. The sneaker said he had often been asked (by married men) in what country he saw the handsomest women.

To this he would reply that in all countries one wrould see in traveling peculiar types of beauty, but perhaps in Napa City, California, the handsomest ladies were to he found. This compliment to home people of course elicited prompt applause. In summing up the gaius acquired through travel the one most beneficial is found in the spirit of contentment with home and the desire to remain within the charmed circle of love and sympathy that bounds it. In closing Mr. Wylie referred to the worship of different people in different countries and more especially the summons to prayer by the aid of tells in Russia.

In Germany the noise and clangor of the tell is seldom heard it is considered a nuisance. In Russia the chiming of bells is a regular occupation and their music and language made such an impression upon the speaker that he cast them into verse. These lines, full of sweet rythm and pregnant with religious meaning, were repeated and fitly crowned an entertaining lecture. Mrs. Langdon and Mrs.

Wylie then sang several selections, to tlie great delight of an audience that refused to grow weary, though the hour was late. Mr. Wylie thanked the people for the goodly sum they had placed in the treasury of the Ladies Aid Society by coming to the lecture, aud the company retired. O. IK GORTON, A ENTIHT.

Tlie digestive system is wholly out of order and Diarrhea or Constipation may ho a symptom or the two may alternate.

WOMAN INFERIORITY. A Tlonh Ifni I.lttle Emmy From the Pen R. S. BnHfllr, True, she cannot sharpen a pencil, and, outside of commercial circles, she cant tic a package to make it look like anything save a crooked cross-section of chaos; but land of miracle! see what she can do with a pin! I believe there are some women who could pin a glass knob to a door. She cannot walk so many miles around a billiard-table with nothing to eat, and nothing (to speak of) to drink, but she can walk tue floor all night with a fretful baby, without going sound asleep the first half hour.

She can ride five hundred miles without going into the smoking ear to rest (and get away from the children). She ean go to town and do a wearisome days shopping, and have a good time with three or four friends, without drinking a keg of beer, She can enjoy an evening visit without smoking half a dozon cigars. She can endure the torturing distraction of a house full of children all day, while her husband cuff's them all bowling to bed tefore he had teen home an hour. Eveiy day she endures a dress that would make an athlete swoon. She will not, and possibly cannot, walk five hundred miles around a tan-bark track in six days for five thousand dollars, hut slie can walk two hundred miles in ten hours, up and down the crowded aisles of a dry-goods store, when there is a reduction on.

She hath no skill at fence, and knoweth not how to spar; but when she javelins a man in the ribs, in a Christmas crowd, with her elbow that mans whole family howls. She is afraid of a mouse, and runs from a cow, but a book agent cant scare her. She is the salt of the church, the pepper of the choir, the life of the sewing society, and about all there is of a young ladies school, or a nunnery. A boy with a sister is fortunate, a fallow with a cousin is to be envied, a voung man with a sweetheart is happy, and a man with a wife is thrice blessed more than they all.

We went out to Berlin via Williams and on down south nearly to Arbuckle, and home by way of Sycamore, oil Friday last, and found that everywhere the land nul dried out wonderfully. The grain is not large enough anywhere to protect the ground, and the drying wind takes the moisture directly from the bare laud.

The ground never was wet down more than a foot. We will therefore have to have several more inches of rain to insure anything like a ood crop. And we have been thinking. Lite is not worth the living without man lias some satisfaction as he goes along. If one lias a crop in upon which his future depends, and he has to keep his neck broke all the time looking up at the clouds, what satisfaction can he have in living? 1 the same man had enough of other tilings in the ground and irrigated to bridge him over a wheat failure, ith how much more complacency could he view a north wind.

Tlie parties owning small tracts of land along the river ho have flooded them arc as contented as though it had rained a foot more. Their hind wilt produce, in any event. Is not the mails satisfaction worth all that irrigation will cost? Colusa Bun. W. I.
