A FACT FOR ORANGE GROWERS. R. F. Chronicle. It is said that the Los Angeles orange growers have not been at all satisfied with San Francisco as a market for their fruit during the present season, and that the probability is that very few shipments will in the future be made to this point. It is also stated that in many instances shipments of oranges have decayed on the consignee's hands and become a total loss, owing to the impossibility of disposing of them at any price. So far as the cessation of shipments to this city in the future is concerned, in one respect that is a consumption most devoutly to be wished for. If those who have this season sent the quantities of small, amutty, half-decayed fruit to this market which have disfigured our streets shall in the future forbear from so doing, they will put themselves under lasting obligations to San Francisco housekeepers, who have been simply overrun with peddlers offering fruit for sale which was an offense to the sight and an insult to the palate. They would rejoice if all such were allowed to rot on the dealers' hands. But when it comes to the consideration of good fruit, that is another matter. From the standpoint of a consumer who uses oranges in large quantities whenever the price is not absolutely prohibitory, it is just as well for the orange growers to know that at no time during the season has good fruit sold here at retail at other than prices which should have returned a liberal profit to the orchard owner. Going from store to store, all over the city, it will be found that the prices run all the way from 25 to 75 cents per pound for fruit, which it would not After trying in vain to get Becknott to leave peacefully, the farmer invited his neighbors, opened a keg of whisky, and after they were sufficiently drunk, related his wrongs and suggested lynching as a remedy. Becknott was caught and strung up to a limb, the alleged intention being only to frighten him. When let down life was extinct. A Venerable Irrigation Court. In the work on Irrigation in the South of France, by M. Aymard, we find the original of the following translated account of the working of the famous Water Court of Valencia in Spain: "Every Thursday at eleven o'clock a crowd collects in the Cathedral Square, in front of the side door of the Cathedral, upon the porch of which the tribunal is to assemble. This place of holding the court was the same in the time of the Moors; tradition saying that it was the principal entrance to the Mosque, and it is known that at this day in Muslim countries justice is administered at these places. Here at Valencia there is placed upon the porch a large divan of semi-circular form." The seven or eight aged laborers, in decent garments, but not differing from their holiday attire, come from amongst the crowd and take their places on the bench. Around them are collected the water-guards ready to furnish any desired information, the crier of the court to announce cases, and the notary to take down sentences when those interested demand a record. The crowd stands at the foot of the porch a little distance away. The whole scene is grand, simple, patriarchal and vividly impressive, justifying the sort of reliance. Dogs are treated more into syrups kinds of dogs them is pursued methods are cities of dogs.

From the standpoint of a consumer who uses oranges in large quantities whenever the price is not absolutely prohibitory, it is just as well for the orange growers to know that at no time during the season has good fruit sold here at retail at other than prices which should have returned a liberal profit to the orchard owner. Going from store to store, all over the city, it will be found that the prices run all the way from 25 to 75 cents per dozen for fruit which it would not be an insult to offer to a guest. Only a medium quality could be had at any time at retail for 35 to 40 cents and if growers cannot get a decent profit from such prices something must be radically wrong somewhere. Orange growers and the papers which supply them with information make a great mistake in not keeping posted on retail prices as well as wholesale ones. Did they do so perhaps less would be heard of poor sales and the absence of demand, and perhaps also lovers of good oranges would be able to satisfy their appetites at prices more than six times as high as the grower reserves. The experience of a Florida orange seller with a shipment to Chicago may nowhaps be out of place here, and may supply a suggestion or two for thought. He sent a large lot of oranges to a fruit dealer and took the precaution to write to a friend in Chicago, asking him to visit the store as a purchaser and find out in what condition the fruit arrived and what prices it brought. The friend did so, and found the fruit in first class order and selling readily at $4.50 and $5 per box. This was encouraging to the shipper, but when he received his returns, strangely though he was told a most ludicrous tale of how the oranges arrived badly decayed and had to be rushed off at $1 a box or less in order to prevent total loss. This being demurred to, and the grounds of the demurrer being stated, a check for a handsome sum was at once forthcoming, and needless to say the fruit dealer lost at least one customer. The Citronelle does not wish to impugn the veracity of any dealer in the city, but at the same time the truth of the assertion is challenged that at no time during the season have oranges of good or even fair quality retailed here at the fruit stores at prices which would not leave a handsome profit to the grower.

Hartwell, who has just returned from the isles of the South Pacific, sends the following to the Ballet: At the Island of Raiatea, in the South Pacific Ocean, on the 20th day of September, 1885, I witnessed the wonderful, and, to me, the unexplainable performance of passing through the fiery furnace.

The crowd stands at the foot of the porch a little distance away. The whole scene is grand, simple, patriarchal and vividly impressive, justifying the sort of religious belief of the Valencian people in the infallibility of the tribunal. "The cases tried are of two kinds: Sometimes it is an information of an infringement or delinquency of an employee; sometimes a complaint made by one irrigator against another. In every case the signer of the water community to which the case belongs acts as the judge advocate; attends to the case, interrogates the witness, etc., but in order to preserve his independence in the matter, custom forbids his voting on the decision. When the case is heard, seven other signers collect in a group to one side, deliberate in low tones and immediately pronounce sentence." The decision is without appeal, and it is not even recorded, unless the parties at interest demand and pay for the record. Neither is there any expense, if the fines, damages or reparations are immediately paid; but if resistance is made, the tribunal is armed with the most extensive powers to make seizures up to the full value of the amount due and enough in excess to cover expenses. The penalties imposed are always those named in the regulations of the association of which the offender is a member." A Damaging Norther- MARYSVILLE, Cal., June 12.—A heavy norther has been blowing since yesterday morning, and is doing considerable damage to property and crops. Two bents—about one hundred feet—of the long bridge across Butte slough, in Sutter county, were blown down early this morning, causing a suspension of travel by that route between Marysville and Colusa. Several windmills have been demolished and other damage done. Great damage is done to the fruit crop. Some of the farmers report half the fruit already whipped off. The windstorm is not blighting the grain. In Yuba county a portion of the grain fields are ripe enough to suffer loss by shelling out, and some loss will be sustained in consequence. In Sutter county but little grain is thus advanced, and a proportionately less loss will result. The Longest Day. The longest day of the year occurs on the 21st of this month. It is an event that takes place only once a year. The sun rises that day at 4:39 o'clock in the morning and sets at 6:39 o'clock in the evening.

Hartwell, who has just returned from the isles of the South Pacific, sends the following to the Bulletin: At the Island of Raiatea, in the South Pacific Ocean, on the 20th day of September, 1885, I witnessed the wonderful, and, to me, the unexplainable performance of passing through the fiery furnace. It is performed by the natives of the islands, and is at times, as I am informed, observed as a religious ceremony. The furnace which I saw was an excavation of three or four feet in the ground in a circular form and about thirty feet across. The excavation was filled with logs and wood, and then covered with large stones. A fire was built underneath, and kept burning for about a day. When I witnessed it on the second day, the flames were pouring up through the interstices of the rocks, which were heated to a red and white heat. When everything was in readiness and the furnace still pouring out its intense heat, the natives marched up with solemn countenance and measured tread, to the edge of the furnace, where they halted for a moment, and after a few passes with wands made of the branches of the tea root, by the leaders, and the repeating of a few words in their native language, the little company stepped down on to the rocks and walked leisurely across to the other side with their bare feet, stepping from stone to stone. This was repeated five times. At the last crossing there were nineteen men and women passed through. This was done without any preparation whatever on their feet, and without injury or discomfort from the heated stones. There was not even the "smell of fire on their garments." I am authorized to use the name of Geo. W. Manning, formerly of this city, in roboration of the above, who will miss if and about two hundred natives, willess the performance. He Get Rid of His Rival. Grand Forks, Ark., June 12.—It is learned here that a few days ago a lynching occurred near H. Andrews', five miles north of here on Red river. Old Becknott, working for a farmer on the Missouri side, supplanted the latter in his wife's affections, The longest day of the year occurs on the 21st of this month. It is an event that takes place only once a year. The sun rises that day at 4:39 o'clock in the morning and sets at 7:25 in the evening; yet no steps have been taken toward celebrating the day. Indeed, it is not definitely known that Gov. Stoneman has declared his intention to make it a legal holiday. It is true that Tennent's Almanac gives the same figures for the rising and going down of the sun for three days succeeding the 21st, but the great weight of authority is to the effect that the 21st is a fraction of a second longer than any other day of the year—enough to satisfy the Governor that he would make no mistake in setting apart that day. Think of it, here's the whole month of June without a holiday!—Bulletin. A Chivalrous Indian. Tombstone, June 12.—It is reported that Mrs. George Sheppard, whose husband was killed by Apaches the night before the Calabasas raid, has since died from grief and the effects of the shock and the exposure undergone during the night of captivity. Her first husband, a Scotch-Canadian, was a compadre of Geronimo in his younger days, and after Geronimo ascertained who she was he gave her a serapie to put around her shoulders, for the night was cold and most of her clothing had been taken from her,and said: "If I had known that man belonged to you I would not have killed him. You can go, but I'll continue to kill the whites till my wife and child are returned from the far-off country to which the whites sent them."

Dogs are the favorite trick animals, for the reason that they are capable of entering more into sympathy with man than other kinds of the animal race. The training of them is pursued as a business, and various methods are employed with different species of dogs. "All dogs," remarked Mr. C. C. Hough, an experienced trainer in this city, to a Journal reporter, "cannot be taught precisely the same kind of tricks. For example, you would hardly expect a mastiff to sit up or walk down the street with a rognish smile on his face, a pipe in his mouth, and a hat on his head tipped much to one side, but this is just what you could expect of a poodle. It may be that there are some very intelligent looking animals that it would be almost impossible to teach, but these are very few. Dogs generally take great delight in learning and in being considered clever, and they soon learn not only to please their masters, but to please their own canine vanity as well. Now, unless you love your dog and he loves you, and you can put yourself in accord, as it were, with his mind through the medium of that affection, you will utterly fail in teaching him a single accomplishment worthy of a name. It is a great mistake to suppose that the whip is essential to the government and regulation of these animals. They are too often abused by their teacher when it is his own error. To whip a puppy ten minutes after he has committed an erger would be absurd, as his latent natural instinct is almost lost for the time being, but if he is punished the instant the fault is committed he at once recognizes fore feet well thrown out and his chin either between his feet or high in the air, then the trainer can increase the height from which he leaps till finally he will jump from a high bridge as easily and willingly as from a low bank. Jumping from a boat in motion is the next feat in the water training. In this case no effort must be made to force the dog, but he must be excited by pretending to throw the stick several times before it actually leaves the trainer's hand. Having worked him up to the proper pitch of enthusiasm, when the stick is thrown ten to one he will go after it. He must then be given the usual reward. Saving lives usually comes natural to well-bred Newfoundland dogs. When it is not, it may be taught by getting up a dummy man and having it thrown overboard from the boat in full view of the dog, he and his master both being on shore. There are many other things, if one will watch his dog, that may be taught him. Notice any particular trick or manner the dog may have, and give it a name, and he will soon learn to do it to order. For example, large dogs have a habit of stretching—that is by extending their forepaws and lowering the body and head between them. This may be called "making a bow." When you see a dog doing this of his own accord, you might repeat the words to him, and it will be surprising how soon he will make the bow to order. Teaching a dog to shake himself is accomplished in the same way, and is a very useful trick. There are many other clever antics, such as opening a door with his paw or nose when told, or standing up on his hind legs. This last should be taught a poodle or other small animal, as he will have better power of balancing himself. EVERYTHING.

In Suits advanced, An Eastern Dakota bank who recently dishonorably failed; ran a business which assets he claimed to be worth nearly $20000. He kept above water for over three years; says the St. Paul Pioneer-Press; cut out great dash; but when he failed it was learned that his assets were an empty elephant; a bank building and the expectations had of inheriting his father's estate when the latter died. The failure of the old gleaner to die is assigned as cause of crash. A philanthropic Detroit naturalist said that he has got the greatest land-making scheme ever known. It is to graft the mine plants of the Gulf of Mexico upon the marine vegetation of the great lakes. They would; he thinks; give to the hardy northern growths the rank and quick growth characteristics of the tropical growths; and he would get a plant which; introduced in northern swamps and bayou lands; would form a foundation that would ultimately suit in good land. That his scheme would require a century or two to develop does not lessen the enthusiasm of the Michiganander. Another effective advertising scheme has been invented in England. A leading cofectioner was ordered to put up 10,000 boxes of candy; hermetically sealed; with advertisement of a cheap watch in each box and in some of the boxes; in addition there to; a coupon entitling the finder to one watches. On the occasion of the Oxford and Cambridge boat race the 10,000 water tight boxes were thrown into the river; to divers and grappled and raked for by any body who thought it worth while to take much trouble to get the sweets; and possibly watch No little excitement and talk was caused; and the object of the enterprise watch vendor—the getting of much advertising—was fully attained. —New York Sun Cumulative Voting The Legislature of New York has passed and the Governor has under consideration; bill regulating elections; which includes provision for cumulative voting. In '187 Governor Hoffman objected to similar bills as an experiment. It had then just been introduced in Illinois in the election of members of the House of Representatives and has since been in operation there with satisfactory results. The Senatorial district is adopted as the unit of representation Each voter has three votes; all of which; he chooses; he can throw for any one candidate. The practical result is some measure of minority representation; and experience shows it tends to discourage deals and bargains. The system has been in use for years in Pennsylvania in town elections. We have an instance in California in the Constitution some sense of fun and humor are good signs. From the time you come in possession of your puppies, say at 3 or 4 months of age, many important lessons may be given at feeding time, before you undertake the more difficult tasks, and in giving orders one should use such words as do not often occur in a conversation. This is the reason I prefer 'charge' to 'down,' and 'toho' to 'hold up' with all kinds of dogs." Fetching and carving are very useful requirements, and are very easily taught when the dog and master perfectly understand each other. The first of these lessons is generally given during a game of romps with a ball, stick or newspaper. The next stage in "fetch-and-carry" lessons is to place the article on the ground and teach the puppy to bring it to you only when you say, "Now go fetch;" an excellent way is to put it down and make him "keep to heel" by the motion of the finger, until the order "go fetch" is given, which he will be intently watching for. The trainer may gradually increase the weight of the article, and if the pup has been previously taught to "keep the heel," he will soon become very expert. Keeping to heel is very easily taught. I take a cane or long stick and attach it to the dog's collar, by a string about eighteen inches in length and walk about the yards, stopping occasionally, and when starting give him the command "come heel," at the same time pulling the stick close up to me. This will have to be very carefully done, and the words must be uttered firmly, but not too much so, or the dog may be cowed. Lessons in swimming can be given as soon as the dog is broken to retrieve. It is always best to commence by throwing sticks in shallow water. I do not risk his going in beyond his depth until he is quite at home in splashing around. I do not mean that there is much risk of drowning, but there is a risk of giving him a fright and making him water-shy. A dog can be taught diving, but the water must not be deep at first, and it must be done by throwing-in some articles that will sink at first very slowly, and that can be seen at the bottom. Another accomplishment a good dog should be taught is that of taking the water with a spring, and still another is that of leaping from a height, but it takes some time to acquire this. He must be taught at first to jump off the bank of a stream. When he has completely mastered the art of springing, with which passed the patience of statesmen, would be generally regarded as incredible. KING LUDWIG COMMITS SUICIDE. MUNICH, June 14.—Ludwig, who was recently deposed from the Bavarian throne, committed suicide at 6 o'clock yesterday evening. He had gone out for a promenade in the park of Berg Castle, accompanied by Dr. Godden, his physician. The King suddenly threw himself into Stamborg Lake and was drowned. The physician jumped into the water to rescue the insane King, and was also drowned. No Chance for a Third Party. PHILADELPHIA, June 12.—Gen. B. F. Butler, in a lengthy interview to-day, maintains that in the next Presidential campaign there will be no third organization of consequence. He says: "I know now what I did not once appreciate; that is, that the laboring element of this country cannot be cemented into a successful party organization. There are too many conflicting interests among them. I do not, therefore, think that there will be, at the next election, any disturbance of the contest between the two parties by a third candidate. The two organizations will bid for the laboring vote and get it just in proportion as they are able to commend themselves to laboring men. The laboring men have not the financial power or local leadership of strength enough to make and keep up a separate party organization." A Noble Philanthropist. BERLIN, June 3.—Duke Karl of Bavaria, famous throughout Germany as an oculist, has recently been ministering to the poor of Meran. He has operated upon hundreds of patients, steadfastly refusing to receive pay for his services, and as a rule confining his practice to those who are unable to pay. He departed to-day, and was followed to the railway station by crowds. Many people knelt in the streets and offered prayers in his behalf. The meed of merit for promoting personal aesthetics is due to J. C. Ayer & Co., whose incompatible Hair Vigor is a universal beautifier of the hair. Harmless, effective, agreeable, it has taken rank among the indispensable articles of the toilet. To scanty locks it gives luxuriance, and withered hair it clothes with the hue of youth. Age and Size of Orange Trees. According to a writer in El Diario de la Marina, there is still flourishing in the porch of the convent of Santa Sabina, in Rome, an orange tree that is said to have been planted in A. D. 1200. Another, in the monastery of Tondi, is supposed to have been planted by St. Thomas Aquinas in 1278. In the Moorish Alcazar of Seville, Spain, exists one that was planted during the reign of Pedro L., between 1350 and 1366.
