ACIGAR-LIGHT SELLER.
One airless stifling night in August, I had taken a tramcar ride as far as Brixton, with the vain hope that I might find some exercise for lungs sorely tried all day with burning heat and absence of breeze; and, descending from the car at the end of its journey, I found myself in the midst of a party of holiday-makers returning to town, who had stopped at a wayside public-house to quench, and, unwittingly, to increase at the same time the inordinate thirst which posed them. The romps of the boys and girls of whom the party consisted were char-
about it; no good view to be got of it; no nice long stretch of building, but all broken up like; all broken up, just as the family is—just as I am."
I noticed that the poor old woman looked ill and wan. Her naturally delicate complexion had become almost ghostly in its pallor, and her knees seemed to bend under the weight of her body, although that to judge by her emasculated appearance, could not have been great.
She drew her poor thin black shawl tightly round her with a shiver as an unkind blast of easterly wind came rushing round the corner, and held out her boxes of cigar-lights toward me as she said, "Do you want any of these to-night, sir?"
I bought some other vesuvians in order to ingratiate myself with the seller of them. Then I asked her to tell me her story, which stripped of many sighings and ejaculations of woe, was as follows:
She was, as has been already said, born on the estate of the Northeys of Northey Hall, in one of the eastern counties. Her father, a small tenant farmer, died suddenly when she was a mere child. Her mother she could not remember at all; but she had been told that she ran away with a "real gentleman," and so broke her husband's heart. When her father died, she was taken up by the people to the Hall and appointed to the position of child-companion and maid to "Miss Caroline." There was at that time an heir to the name and estate of Northey in the person of "Master Ralph," a high-spirited and spoilt boy, the idol of his parents and the beloved tyrant of all the
THE CANNERY.
Los Angeles Express.
We yesterday paid a visit to the canning factory of the Southern California Packing Company. The season is practically over with them, and they are busy at present labeling and boxing goods. The season's work turned out about eighty thousand cans, comprising all the more commonly canned articles. The goods are stored in the company's large warehouse. There will be no trouble in finding a market for them, the short fruit crop East and other causes making the demand unusually large this year. About three hundred cases have been sold in this city, and Mr. Elliott, Secretary of the company, informed us that they expect to ship two or three earloads to Eastern markets very soon. The quality of their goods of all kinds is very superior, comparing favorably with those of any of the older factories. The demand for first-class goods is already great, and it is only necessary for them to establish a name for a superior article by this year's test to make a demand for more than they can supply. The company has found by its first year's experience that the most uncertain feature of the industry here will be the securing of fruit. They have found it almost impossible to make contraets for any length of time ahead, on account of the uncertainty of the crops. The farmers can not guarantee any certain amount of fruit, and will not. And where contracts have been made, they have been unsatisfactory; the fruit being generally brought in a much damaged condition, where the vendors were sure of a good price.
straight and delicate; and her teeth, as she showed them smiling at me in an interrogative manner, were as white and perfect as any turned out in Burlington street or Saville Row; her hands, too, were white and delicate, and altogether she suggested to me a lady.
But her dress. Ah me, there was little of "the lady" about that! Reckoning from the foundation—or rather from that portion of her costume which was nearest the pavement—she might be described as a rough pyramid or cone of rags, with an extensive base, apparently shaped by the lowest and last-remaining ring of a crinoline petticoat of ancient date, tapering upward, and terminating above the snow-line of the beautiful white hair in a crushed, shapeless head-covering of greasy black-brown crape and wire. The general color of the poor woman's costume was that of damp boots robbed of their brightness and defaced with stains.
Such was the person who in this whirligig crowd of beer-and-penny-fly-distracted people suddenly informed me that the "goings on" around us were "strange—most strange!"
While, like Captain Cuttle, I was "making a note" of this poor old wreck, she showed me that she had a vocation, or rather plied a trade, for she—dropping the Northeys of Northey Hall for a moment—asked me whether I "liked them black or red, the round sort or the flamers."
Her question referred to the boxes of vesuvians which she carried in her hand; and when I told her that I wanted none of either sort, she put her head on one side, loosened with one hand some of her hair, and drawing her fingers through it, asked: "Did you know the Northeys of Northey Hall?"
I replied that I had not had that honor; whereupon the vendor of vesuvians went on, without any invitation on my part:
"Oh! the Northeys are a good old family, though there aren't many of them left now, for the matter of that. Why, it Miss Caroline had been in the world at this moment, do you think I should be here? No, sir; she would have seen to that. She was very good. And what wonderful eyes she had! Why, sir, when the Squire came down to the dining room one day, and made a row about Hall, in one of the eastern counties. Her father, a small tenant-farmer, died suddenly when she was a mere child. Her mother she could not remember at all; but she had been told that she ran away with a "real gentleman," and so broke her husband's heart. When her father died, she was taken up by the people to the Hall and appointed to the position of child-companion and maid to "Miss Caroline." There was at that time an heir to the name and estate of Northey in the person of "Master Ralph," a high-spirited and spoilt boy, the idol of his parents and the beloved tyrant of all the servants and people about the place. An accident on the lake in the park, when a tiny boat was upset, robbed the family of its hope; and the light of the place went out when little Ralph was brought home one dull October afternoon, "nigh fifty years ago," with his long curls crippling dirty water on the hall-stones and "death within his eyes."
From that moment all seemed to go wrong with the Northeys. The Squire became harsh and difficult to deal with; My Lady—"for she was a lady in her own right"—grew "peaky" and querulous; no company was kept. Year after year went on. The Squire died; My Lady did not long survive him, and Miss Caroline "came into her own." She, from injudicious and careless training, had grown into a capricious, albeit beautiful woman. She knew little of men, and she chose a husband most unwisely from the crowd of suitors who came around her seeking, at her expense, name and fortune. She married, and lived for twenty years the life of a dissatisfied and childless wife. Her husband took to ill-treating her. Her health broke down. The doctors were called in; and "Miss Caroline"—as she was still called by her quondam maid—disappeared.
Alter the disappearance of the mistress short work was soon made of the confidential servant. She was told to go about her business; and she went. Her own poor little family had not been without its share of troubles, and had melted away under them. Her efforts to keep herself in the country, failed; her efforts to sustain herself in London were, as I could see, only partially successful; and as a policeman came to move her on, and she shuffled away uncomplainingly, I could not help feeling that the contrast of the beginning of her life in the bright little farmhouse on the estate of the great and happy family of the Northeys, with its evidently fast-closing chapters on the cruel curbstone of a London street, was wonderfully strange and sad.
I saw the cigar-light seller once more. It was in Great Tufton street, Westminster—a most unholy place. It was very late at night. Her hair was hanging down on each side of her face; her eyes were raining tears; her hands were empty; and her clothing was more scanty than ever. I do not know what the immediate cause of her grief was; she would not tell me; but I stopped her, and asked her where she was going; and she without recognizing me, took hard at me,
them to establish a name for a supermarket by this year's test to make a demand for more than they can supply. The company has found by its first year's experience that the most uncertain feature of the industry here will be the securing of fruit. They have found it almost impossible to make contracts for any length of time ahead, on account of the uncertainty of the crops. The farmers can not guarantee any certain amount of fruit, and will not. And where contracts have been made, they have been unsatisfactory; the fruit being generally brought in a much damaged condition, where the producer was sure of a good price anyway. But this year could hardly be made a test of the matter, on account of the small fruit crop. The company is already in active preparation for next year's work and expects to put up 300,000 cans. This will of course depend upon the fruit crop. If the fruit comes in they will be prepared to handle that amount. The experiment of canning quail was very successful so far as the product is concerned. To this we can testify, having had the pleasure of trying some canned quail which were certainly delicious. We hardly see how they could be improved, and there should surely be a ready market for this article. But they have found it impossible to get them in sufficient quantities to make it profitable. The company would now be glad to secure an unlimited quantity of quail at a good market price, and there is where they should be sent instead of to San Francisco. The statement that mutton had been put up by them is a mistake. Such had been their intention, but circumstances prevented their carrying it out this year. Altogether the year's work has been satisfactory and encouraging, and with a right spirit shown by our farmers in fostering and promoting this great industry, it will be developed to an importance of which we shall be proud.
Important to Hunters.
From reports from many counties of injuries by hunters to private property it is evident that it is not generally known that there are stringent laws of interest to hunters. Below is given the law of this State relative to hunting on inclosed lands, and to damage to stock, fences, etc.:
Section 1. Every person who shall open any gate, bars or fence of another, for the purpose of passing through, and shall willfully leave the same open without the permission of the owner, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Sec. 2. Every person who willfully opens, tears down or destroys any fence on the inclosed land of another, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Sec. 3. Every person who willfully enters upon the inclosed land of another for the purpose of hunting, or who discharges firearms, or lights camp-fires thereon, without first having obtained permission of the owner or occupant of said land, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
with one hand some of her hair, and drawing her fingers through it, asked: "Did you know the Northeys of Northey Hall?"
I replied that I had not had that honor; whereupon the vender of vesuvians went on, without any invitation on my part:
"Oh! the Northeys are a good old family, though there aren't many of them left now, for the matter of that. Why, it Miss Caroline had been in the world at this moment, do you think I should be here? No, sir; she would have seen to that. She was very good. And what wonderful eyes she had! Why, sir, when the Squire came down to the dining-room one day, and made a row about a favorite dog of hers that had kept them up half the previous night with his howling, she turned upon him with a look that positively frightened him. Her eyes made everyone afraid of her—all except me. To me she was all gentleness and goodness, and she always looked upon me as a friend. She was the last proper one of the family, sir; for the Squire himself was a nobody. I was with poor Miss Carry from her cradle to her well, grave, I was going to say, but I mean till the time when she was taken away, and shut up out of sight and out of her mind. I was her maid, sir. And when she disappeared my real troubles began—troubles which have brought me at last to cigar-lights and the streets. But that is no fault of hers. If she recovered her senses—and it's my opinion that those who should love her best have no wish that she should ever recover them—they'd have me back at the old hall, and I should once more be, as I was ever so long ago—a respectable woman."
The crowd had ceased to jig, and was remounting its vans to be carried off to Bethnal Green; the heat seemed more oppressive than ever, and I left the old lady with a wheezey voice and an unfinished history and returned to town.
A long while after that August night, I again met my cigar-light seller. It was on the topmost height of Pentonville Hill. I stopped her, and asked whether she had heard anything of the Northey family of lais.
"No, sir," she replied. "I hardly ever hear of them now, and this grieves me much; for you must know, sir, I was born on the estate. A fine place the house is, sir, but dull—one of those old houses all towers and corners, and ins and outs. Nothing straight date of the great and happy family of the Northeys, with its evidently fast-closing chapters on the cruel curbstone of a London street, was wonderfully strange and sad.
I saw the cigar-light seller once more. It was in Great Tufton street, Westminster—a most unholy place. It was very late at night. Her hair was hanging down on each side of her face; her eyes were raining tears; her hands were empty; and her clothing was more scanty than ever. I do not know what the immediate cause of her grief was; she would not tell me; but I stopped her, and asked her where she was going; and she without recognizing me, looked hard at me, brushed the tears from her cheeks with a hard savage rub of has poor withered, white hands, set her teeth together, and, apparently without unclenching them, muttered: "I am going home! Can't you see that? Miss Carry's gone years and years ago, and now my time's come. Don't bother me! What are you staring at? Pray go, and leave me alone!"
And God help her! I left her alone. — Chambers' Journal.
A correspondent of the Troy Times writes as follows concerning the New York fruit market: Speaking of the market, one cannot but notice the advance in quotations. Some articles, however, have been very low. Grapes, for instance, have been sold at two cents a pound, and three cents was considered a good price. The question may arise, can Concords pay at such a price, but when the market is glutted it is a more important question how to get rid of perishing stock. Grape-growing has become a very extensive interest, and the receipts have some days been ten tons. No wonder the market was glutted. On the other hand, choice peaches have brought $12 per basket, these being required among other costly luxuries for table use. The tomato crop in some parts of the country was an utter failure, but Long Island farmers had good success, and have made more on this specialty than in many previous years. The demand for Hartlett pears will lead to increased culture, which, at $10 per barrel, pays well. The uncertainty of the New York markets, however, is their worst feature, and what is made one day may be lost the next. Fruit growers get hardened by experience, and so do the dealers. Hence those who object to such things used not ship fruit to New York.
Vaccination as practiced in China has two peculiar features. The subject is not operated on the arm or leg, but on the nose; and the Government, while it does not compel people to submit to the operation, practically reaches the same end that it would by doing so, by offering to parents for every child vaccinated a premium of 100 copper cash, which amounts to about 10 cents, and for a poor Chinaman in his own country, a sum not altogether to be despised.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
San Diego, Calif.
It is a fact patent to the most casual observer that Southern California is attenting
more attention than any other nation of country on the Pacific coast. Our exchanges of the southern counties of this State, day after day and week after week,
give the most encouraging reports of the business outlook. There is a steady influx
of people who have come to stay, as well as a large number of visitors who are making
a careful reconnoissance of the different counties, with the intention of remaining, in
the event they succeed in finding locations to suit them. It is hardly necessary to say
that a majority of them will not be disappointed. Enough has already been accomplished to show the wonderful possibilities
of Southern California. Beautiful homes
have been established here and there over
the entire territory. A great variety of farming crops have been produced; orchards
of both semi-tropic and deciduous fruits are in full bearing; luxuriant vineyards have made rich returns of their precious fruiting;
and in fact the most satisfactory experiments have been made in the culture of all the growths found in a wide range of countrys, all of which have illustrated in the most satisfactory manner the richness of the soil and its remarkable productive capacity—both as to quantity and variety. It is not necessary that we should own a large tract of land; hence the country is peculiarly adapted for small farms, or orchards or vineyards; therefore it is within the reach of persons of limited means to render them

FUSS AND FEATHERS...
New York, October 19th.—The Tribune's correspondent in speaking of the non-arrival of the French guests on time at the Yorktown celebration says: At last the secret of the delay comes out. The French were offended at the position of the German flag on the President's boat and demanded an explanation before they would go ashore. It seems that their jealousy of Germans began in Washington, and the German officers failed to make any ceremonial call on them and only left cards at the State Department to be sent to them. The cards were not delivered until both parties came on board the Catskill. Another and more serious grievance was that Blaine in going to the races on Saturday rode in a carriage with Von Steuben instead of Commodore Lichtenstein, who, as the representative of President Grevy, ranked him, as did also General Boulanger of the French army. All the way down from Washington to Fortress Monroe the French showed coldness towards the Germans, but no discourtesy. Secretary Blaine was equally friendly with both parties, but at the table gave the Frenchmen the precedence their rank demanded.
On arriving at Yorktown the American ships were seen displaying the French tricolor at the fore, the stars and stripes at the main, while the German with its black cross was at the mizzen. This was all right, but unluckily the Dispatch had but two masta, so the French and German flags were both run up side by side at the fore.

Mrs. Eliza Tooke of Marysville died from a burn received on Saturday from a kerosene lamp. Suspicion attaches to her husband, who is under arrest. Some think he threw the oil over her. The Coroner's Jury were unable to agree and, have been discharged. No charge is yet made against the prisoner, there being no evidence against him. A woman swore that the burning was accidental.
The house of N. Jeleitch, at Jackson, Amador county, was destroyed by fire last week. All the inmates, consisting of Jeleitch, his wife and two children, a girl two years old and an infant son only a few months old, perished. Jeleitch's remains were found with those of the infant within a foot of the kitchen door. He had apparently suffocated whilst trying to escape with the infant in his arms. The bodies of the wife and oldest child were found close together by the bedroom window, the bodies burnt to a cinder. Four men were sleeping within a few yards, but could do nothing for the inmates. The tire is believed to have been accidental.
Scene in the Ohio Legislature, Eighty Years ago.
Michael Baldwin, the irrepressible and incorrigible, was no more dignified, abstemious, or moral in his position as Speaker of the first Ohio House of Representatives than he had been in former years or lesser stations. He presided over the Chamber in 1803, 1804 and 1805. It is a matter of tradition that for his own pecuniary benefit, and for the entertainment of those among the legislators who had a penchant for gaming, he established in his rooms the game of "himself" alone acting as bachelor and

On arriving at Yorktown the American ships were seen displaying the French tricolor at the fore, the stars and stripes at the main, while the German with its black cross was at-the mizzen. This was all right, but unluckily the Dispatch had but two masta, so the French and German flags were both run up side by side at the fore. At first the French officers did not see their flag and were highly incensed. Afterward, when they caught sight of it, they were hardly less provoked to see it in such close companionship with that of the nation they so much disliked. What was said in explanation by Secretary Blaine has not transpired, but it is rumored that the French threatened to withdraw unless the German flag came down before dark.
Chicago, October 16.—The Times' Yorktown special says: The French guest last night left the Catskill Hotel, where they have been entertained, to keep house on their own vessel. They think that too much attention has been shown the Von Steuben family, and object to the showing of German colors by the fleet, saying that all the aid Germany gave at the captures of Cornwallia was given by Steuben, who represented only himself.
Chicago, October 22d.—The Times' Richmond special says: The German and French visitors are not yet wholly at peace. While waiting for the carriages, delayed by accident at the depot here, they went to the wharf in order to amuse themselves. The Germans commenced throwing silver pieces into the river. The French determined not to be outdone in this diversion, and throw five-dollar bills and gold coins into the water, with lavish hands. This costly sport was kept up for some time. A crowd of negroes gathered about the boat. For the moment they were bewildered by this utter disregard of all value of "The root of all evil." The darkness, however, quickly saw that it no other good had resulted from this jealousy between the Rechambre and Von Steuben, it was likely to prove a bename for them. They jumped into the stream and dived for the gold and silver pieces which had been so lavishly discarded by the French and Germans.
Michael Baldwin, the irrepressible and incorrigible, was no more dignified, abstemious, or moral in his position as Speaker of the first Ohio House of Representatives than he had been in former years or lesser stations. He presided over the Chamber in 1803, 1804 and 1805. It is a matter of tradition that for his own pecuniary benefit, and for the entertainment of those among the legislators who had a penchant for gaming, he established in his rooms the game of "ringt-at-un," himself acting as banker and dealer, and as a matter of course winning more frequently than any of the other players. On one occasion, after much drinking and a late sitting at the gambling table, Baldwin found himself in possession not only of all the money of his companions, but of many of their watches. In the morning the House of Representatives was found to be without a quorum; but Baldwin, commanded to heavy drinking and late hours, was in his place back of the Speaker's desk. Rapping savagely with his gavel, he demanded the roll-call of the House, and then sent the corgeant-at-arms out with orders to bring in the delinquent members. After an hour or so that functionary returned, followed by about a dozen members of the Ohio Legislature, whose blood-shot eyes, enflamed faces, unsteady, shambling steps, and general air of shame facedness indicated the late hours they had kept, and their heavy indulgences. With much ansterity of manner, Baldwin reprimanded the tardy members, reminded them of the cost to which the infant State was subjected by payment of their per diems, and was proceeding to further elaborate his content on their late arrival and the consequent delay of legislation, when one of the delinquents, accompanied beyond control, cried out, "Hold on there, Mr. Speaker; hold on! How could we tell what time it was, when the Speaker of the House had all of our watchers?" — Alarma Mathewsa, in Harper's Magazine for November.
