Hundreds of thousands for good roads, but not a cent for a new court house. Clean and improve the present one, and it will do for a time. COL. INGERSOLL has been presented with a "palatial" house by Mr. Dorsey. Star routers can afford to make princely gifts to their friends. Another champion is to the fore. Name, J. Baker. Residence, Tonawanda, N. Y. Feat, eating six pounds of beans in forty minutes. The Pope’s encyclical letter against secret societies is said to have had its origin in statements made by Freemasons. Some wicked wags have been “stuffing” his holiness. It is rather dangerous for a Republican to suggest to a muscular Democrat that Butler may possibly get the Democratic nomination. And yet the swivel-eyed statesman is on the track. Two very important cablegrams have come all the way from England and have been printed in the associated press during the week. They are: “The Queen went to church yesterday.” “The Queen is suffering from lumbago.” The merits of a man are measured by his success. When Chinese Gordon was carrying everything before him he was lauded as a demi-god, but now in the days of his adversity he is designated as a middle-headed IN A QUANDARY. A Commissioner for California at the New Orleans World’s Fair has been appointed. But Colonel Andrews declares it to be a hollow honor. The office is dignified enough, but the officer is powerless. No funds are provided for his use. He needs at least $10,000 to enable him to prepare a place for the California exhibits, secure their transportation and guard the goods that may be committed to his care. He has already been asked what space California will need, but he dare not reply. He really has no information as to what California will do. If he reserves space, and it is not filled, California will be humiliated. If he does not reserve it California will be shut out. If he advances the money necessary he has no security for its payment. He asked the Governor to include the matter in his call for the extra session of the Legislature, but it was not done. Colonel Andrews adds: “I do not feel like going down to New Orleans myself to pay all the expenses for a California exhibition. Of course I would not do that. At the same time I am willing to pay my own expenses, to receive no salary and to entertain my California friends when they come down to New Orleans. All the compensation I ask is the honor, and it will cost me probably $5,000 to go there.” STATE SENATOR MILLER, of Cape May Co., New Jersey, has got himself into hot water by his advocacy of a resolution for the appointment of a committee to examine and report upon the feasibility of having the public printing of that State done by convicts in the penitentiary. In doing so he went out of his way to insinuate that there would always be plenty printer convicts to perform the work. Trenton Typographical Union determined to resent the insult, and as the falsity of the statements made was proven by the official records of the New Jersey State prison, which showed that there have not been five printers confined in it in five years, that body passed a series of resolutions denouncing the unjust and unmanly aspersion and its author, and declaring him an enemy of the printers’ craft and NEWS OF THE The Ohio Legislature local option feature of The Kentucky Legislation it a felony to keep is reckoned certainudent of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambition of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambition of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambition of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortgage An Orange orator stone’s highest ambiance of the British Reception in real estate mortality A gratified Scotch with proud ostentation that his wife has hated her mother of seven years and seven months Mr. Spurgeon says comes to those who Two very important cablegrams have come all the way from England and have been printed in the associated press during the week. They are: "The Queen went to church yesterday." "The Queen is suffering from lumbago." The merits of a man are measured by his success. When Chinese Gordon was carrying everything before him he was lauded as a demi-god, but now in the days of his adversity he is designated as a middle-healed fanatic! "Dr. Orme introduced the subject of yellow fever, and spoke of sundry sensational articles in the newspapers of Los Angeles," is a quotation from the report of the proceedings of the State Board of Health. The sensational newspapers aforesaid will please attend to Dr. Orme. There is nothing new under the sun. Even the prevailing style of banging the hair, affected by the girl of the period, is of very ancient origin. A number of female statues recently discovered at Yucatan had their hair banged in regulation style. A new variety of chicken has been invented—or perfected. They have one long leg and one short leg, and this pedal peculiarity prevents them from scratching. The man with a garden, whose neighbor keeps chickens, should cut this item out and send it to him in a registered letter. Weston recently walked 5000 miles in England without taking a "drop o' the craythur" as a stimulant, and the teat is heralded as an additional argument in favor of temperance. It is said, however, that he daily bathed his feet in whisky, which fact leads a contemporary to ask: "What difference does it make at what end a man takes alcohol?" The assessor of Los Angeles county is, we believe, quite moderate in his valuation of improvements—among which are trees and vines. The assessors of Napa and Sonoma counties are in metaphorical hot water because they insist upon valuing bearing trees and vines at $100 per acre, in addition to the value of the land. So-called indignation meetings have been held recently at Healdsburg and Napa, at which the assessors were loudly denounced. The controversy between Commissioner Blowers and Chief Viticultural Officer Wetmore has culminated in the former bringing charges against the Chief. He alleges that Wetmore offered him 1000 acres to allow his name to be used in recommending the Cajon ranch, San Diego county, the sale of which is in Mr. Wetmore's hands, as especially public printing of that State done by convicts in the penitentiary. In doing so he went out of his way to insinuate that there would always be plenty printer convicts to perform the work. Trenton Typographical Union determined to resent the insult, and as the falsity of the statements made was proven by the official records of the New Jersey State prison, which showed that there have not been five printers confined in it infive years, that body passed a series of resolutions denouncing the unjust and unmanly sapersion and its author, and declaring him an enemy of the printers' craft and workingmen in general.

The sudden death of a bookkeeper in San Francisco brings out the following facts: He was a defaulter and had swindled his employers; he had been arrested for the crime and died in prison; he had been excessively intemperate, and his death was due principally to alcoholism; he was a Mason in good standing and was buried with all the honors which that fraternity confers upon its deceased members. It is stretching the fraternal cord to an absurd tension when Masonic honors are paid to a thief and drunkard. Organges in New York. Los Angeles Herald. The returns from the New York Custom House for 1883 are full of important information to our orange growers. The amount of the business is very great, but the most interesting portion is the surprising statement that out of a grand annual total of 33,150,363 oranges received at the port of New York, one-half perished on the voyage. This striking fact should induce our shippers of oranges to cultivate the New York dealers and furnish them with selected fruit which would not delay in transit. Los Angeles oranges properly packed will go to New York with one per cent. loss of decay. That is a very surprising advantage in favor of Los Angeles fruit. A ripe, unbrused, perfect Los Angeles orange, if laid upon a plate and kept out of the sun and the rain in an airy room, will not decay for years. A Herald reporter has an orange three years old, another two years old and another one year old, and none of them have shown any sign of decay. They are drying and the crust is hardening, while the flavor and odor remain quite strong, but the juice is small and highly concentrated. The following list shows the source of the foreign orange supply of New York: The importation of oranges from the West Indies and Central and South America consisted of eight full cargoes and parts of several cargoes by sailing vessels, and 85,923 barrels by 144 steamers. Of the above, 47,078 barrels were from Kingston, Jamaica, containing 16,918,350 oranges; from Havana, 13,126 barrels, containing 4,351,148; from Port Maria, 13,742 barrels, containing 4,809,600; from St. Ann's Bay, 3800 barrels, containing 1,329,950; from Montego Bay, 3340 barrels, containing 1,168,700; from Port Antonio, 1852 barrels, containing 661,340; from Port Rico, 988 barrels, containing 329,050; from Dominica, 849 barrels, containing 297,151; from the Windward Islands, 337 barrels, containing 117,950; from Cathayena, 266 barrels, containing 93,100; from Trinidad, 261 barrels, containing 91,350; from Samana, 124 public printing of that State done by convicts in the penitentiary.

At Louisville, Ky., The controversy between Commissioner Blowers and Chief Viticultural Officer Wetmore has culminated in the former bringing charges against the Chief. He alleges that Wetmore offered him 1000 acres to allow his name to be used in recommending the Cajon ranch, San Diego county, the sale of which is in Mr. Wetmore's hands, as especially suitable for raisin grapes. Mr. Blowers declined to allow his name to be associated in the enterprise and charges that Wetmore is using his official position for selfish ends. Wetmore has asked for an investigation. The only way for an honest farmer nowadays to compete with rascally adulteration and fraud is to get up a reputation for his products and let consumers know where they come from. If his butter and cheese and hams go to market, and they are such as he can be proud of, let them bear the stamp of the maker, so that when purchasers get hold of them they may know where to always find a good thing. The latest suggestion we have seen in this line is that the man who sends eggs to market should stencil his name and residence, and the name of the breed and fowl producing them on each egg. This would cause some extra labor, but not much, and it might pay in the long run. Why not add the date when the egg was laid? In the edict of the Louisville (Ky.) Court against Mother Hubbard costumes were enforced in this city (says the San Francisco Chronicle) there would be a large amount of wailing among the fair sex. To prohibit a costume because it is worn largely by a disreputable class is a very weak sumptuary law. On the same principle the sealkin sacque would be ruled out, as it has always been a favorite with those who have the smallest amount of female virtue. In fact, it is very absurd for any court or any city authorities to regulate dress so long as people keep within the bounds of decency and propriety. There are many things in Kentucky which need reformation far more than women's dresses, and one of the chief of these things is politics of the Bourbon strips. Exempting Fruit Brandy from Tax. WASHINGTON, April 19.—The House Committee on Agriculture has made a report in favor of a bill permitting any person to manufacture apples, peaches and any other perishable fruits raised by himself or his tenants into brandy, free from any internal revenue tax or restriction now existing. The report says that a tax imposed on any product of the soil, whether in its crude state or any manufactured article into which it is convertible by the producer to enhance its marketable value, is a clog upon it, tending to retard or restrict the production of natural articles. There is no greater reason for taxing apple or peach trees or peach or apple brandy in the United States than grapevines in France or the wine product resulting, and they hold that the decadence of orchards in sections remote from markets is directly traceable to this tax. The insignificant item of revenue derivable from this source the majority fail to find a corresponding equivalent for the loss occasioned by it. Cullen, Howey and White of the committee do not agree with their colleagues. They believe that the effect of the measure would be to complicate, to the detriment of the Government, the collection of internal revenue taxes, by imposing on the Government the burden of proof as to the material out of which alcoholic liquors are manufactured. It would also tend to the perpetration of fraud on the revenue through the clandestine production of alcoholic liquors from grain, under the guise of fruit distillations. The chief objection of the minority is that the proposed law would allow the product of fruit distillers to come into the market in competition with that of others who pay a heavy tax to the Government. NEWS OF THE WEEK. The Ohio Legislature has repealed the local option feature of the Scott liquor law. The Kentucky Legislature has a bill making it a felony to keep a gambling-room, and is reckoned certain to pass it.

Reynolds, former Dirgetor of the so-called People's Railway Organization, of Indianapolis, was horsewhipped by Emi Kennedy, President of the same company. A fight ensued and Kennedy drew a revolver, but was prevented from using it. Reynolds charges Kennedy with having obtained ninety thousand dollars cash through subscriptions, for which there was no accounting; that Kennedy proposed issuing twenty millions in bonds at fifty cents on the dollar, taking what cash he could get and balance in promissory notes. A nephew of Louis Payen of Sacramento arrived from Paris a few days ago. He brought with him various things of interest, including among them a small quantity of a peculiar bean, a singularity of which is that the bean and pod, even when ripe, retain a green color. It was found or developed by Mona. Chevrier, grand uncle of the young man who has received three silver and three bronze medals at various exhibitions for his discovery, if such it may be termed. Mr. Payen has given samples of the bean to his farmer friends, and, if the plant is as successful here as in France, it will prove a valuable addition to California vegetables. Carolina's Plight. The details of the situation in South Carolina show that the State is in a most pitilable condition. The drought of last year not only beggared the people dependent upon the crop yield, but it also developed a malarial poison which effectively fastens itself on systems weakened by poverty and want. Illustrative of the prevailing distress may be quoted the statement of a Barnwell county business man. He said: "My section could have weathered it through had the merchants been able to stand the pressure. You see, they had advanced supplies to the farmers, taking liens on their growing crops. These crops were turned into parched strings, and the merchants were left with their liens, which, by the law, are only good for the crop on which they were taken. The merchants as a rule are not rich, but get their goods on credit from the city commission factors and merchants. They pay these in the fall, after the liens are paid. See yonder, that big store is closed, and there over the way they are selling out P. & N. That will be the way for the next twelve months. I know NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Card.

I know half a dozen merchants in this little place who, by hard work, have obtained an extension of time till next November. It is only adelay of the trouble. I suppose the city factors are selling out these men because those liens became baubles. Just so. Sometimes, however, it is done by large houses North, by men who credited here heavily. Now, there is a result upon the people from these failures that is like the fresh application of tire to a barn. The majority of the people depend upon these merchants for their supplies until the fall of each year. These supplies are now necessarily cut off in hundreds of cases. Any man who can put two and two together knows what is coming." A small farmer in another part of the State said: I had something to live upon till Christmas. Since then I don't know how we have lived. Many times there is not a mouthful to eat in the house. I have kept my horse alive by picking moss from the trees till the grass grew, and now he lives on that, but he is nothing but skin and bones. The Marion Index of the 16th inst., says: Reports reach us from different sections of the country giving accounts of many instances of actual suffering caused by persons unable to get bread. From what we learn there has been no year since the war when provisions were so scarce. There are hundreds perhaps in Marion county-to-day who cannot get enough food to eat. The largest liberality must prevail; or starvation in some instances must be the consequence. Floods Even in China. The North China Daily News of February 27th says: "A few gentlemen were out yesterday distributing a portion of the money subscribed by the foreign community for the relief of the villages about Tianxin that are surrounded by water. They found the distress very great. In many cases where the mud houses had been washed down the inmates had been given shelter in the homes of the more fortunate, and so six or eight persons were huddled together in a room scarcely ten feet square. The principle food is kao-liang-mao-taz—the heads of the blasted kao-liang gathered out of the rising waters last fall, ground up with similar stuff and made into bread. For fuel they have the kao-liang stalks pulled out of the gradually receding waters. For condiment to this black, coarse, chaffy bread they have the leaves of the quarter-grown cabbage, saved and thrown on the house-tops or hung up to dry. It could not be kept green in pits like the full-grown cabbage; and the supply of these is limited. Still surrounded by water, their outlook, even with such aid as may be given, is dreary enough. An Earthquake in England." In France, according to statisticians, suicides are rapidly increasing, not only among adults with real woes or sufferings to account for their rash act, but also among juveniles, who make away with themselves for the most trivial causes.

At Louisville, Ky., on Friday of last week a lawyer named Corneilson cowhidded Supreme Court Justice Reid on account of a decision unfavorable to the former, and because of strictures on his conduct contained in the opinion of the Court. At the State capital and all through the Blue Grass region excitement over the affair is at the highest pitch. Some months ago a person calling himself Dr. Beaumont married a young lady of Shellbyville, Illinois. The courtship was by letter, and the parties had never met until the day they were married. After their marriage they went West, where he proposed to locate. In a short time he succeeded in getting several thousand dollars that his bride had and decamped, leaving her among strangers. Miss Maud Manning, daughter of Chief Justice Manning, of Louisiana, and G. W. Compton, eloped from Alexandria and were married by Rev. Marshall, at his residence, Saturday night. The couple were followed by the irate mother and two gentlemen, but managed to elude the vigilance of the mother by changing cars three times. They were caught by persons and locked up in a box car on a freight train and taken to Marshall, Texas, only to discover they were man and wife. Cypress Trees.

London, April 22.—At 9:30 this morning an earthquake shock of considerable force was felt in the eastern counties of England; localities in Essex and Suffolk were the scenes of the greatest disturbance. At Ipswich, the shock was so severe that the walls of houses were perceptibly shaken. plates were rattled and bells were rung. The people have been thrown into such a state of consternation that business, for a time, is suspended. The shock was still more severe at Colchester. The concussion lasted half a minute. The first symptom was a deep rumbling sound, portentous and awful-inspiring, which was speedily followed by a quaking and shaking of all buildings. The church bells sounded as though swayed by unseen hands. The tall chimney stacks of factories crashed to ruin to the earth, and other lofty structures were destroyed. The spare of one of the largest churches in the city, 150 feet high, fell with an awful crash to the ground. It is impossible to estimate the amount of damage, but it is known to be very great.
