ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1889. The Weekly Gazette. Established 1870. Transient Advertising. IN TWO HALVES. THE FIRST HALF. Wet and dreary. It is midwinter; the scene is Kirklington, on the London and Northwestern; the time quarter to 11; just after the night mail had flashed through without stopping—bound for Liverpool and the north. The railway officials are collecting, preparatory to going off duty for the night. "Where's Dan?" asked one of the crowd upon the platform. "I saw him in the hut just after the quarter to 11 went through. Can't have come to any harm, surely?" "No; he said he'd seen something drop from the train, and he went down the line to pick it up." And Dan had picked up something: it was a basket, a common white wicker basket, with a lid fastened down by a string. What did it contain? Dirty clothes? What? It was sent a thank of England note for them. How sir, could my conjurer help me to the other half? How did you come by it? asked Jack at dinner. "I tell you, sir; short as I can make it. Conjurer or no conjuror, you've got a kindly heart, and I'm main sure that you'll help if you can." Dan then downloaded how he had picked up the basket from the 19:45 Liverpool express. There was the linen; I've kept it. See here; all marked quite precisely and properly with face round the edge, as though his mother loved to make the little one smear. Jack examined the linen; it has a monogram and crest. The first he made out to mean H. L. M., and the second was plaitly two hummers around, and the motto: "I strike—not a common crest—and he never remembered to have seen it before. And was that all? "Oopt the bank note. That was in a pair old purses with a pawn ticket and a thimble. I kept them all." Like a true detective Jack examined every article minutely. The purse bore the name Hester Gorrigan, in rude letters inside, and the pawn ticket was out in the same name. THE SECOND HALF. When Jack Newbiggin got back to the paragonage he found that his host had accepted an invitation for them both to dine at the "big house," as it was called, the country seat of the squire of the parish. "I have been fighting your battles all day," began Mrs. Sitwell, the hostess, when seated at dinner next to Jack. "Was it necessary? I should have thought myself too insignificant." They were talking at lunch of your wonderful tricks in conjuring, and one said that the skill might prove inconvenient—when you played cards, for instance. "A charitable imputation; with whom did it originate? Sir Lewis Mallaby." Please point him out to me. He was shown a grave, scowling face upon the right of the hostess—a face like a mask, the surface rough and wrinkled, through which the eyes shone with a As you have dared me to do wrong," said he. Silent now to whisper was only the half of a note, but I whispered the other half to be found. So much the better for me," said benocast, with an affair to appear him once. That other half was given to my Sir Lewis. Sir Lewis nodded indifferently. "It was given to one Hester Curran an old name, six years ago." Silence! Say no more," cried Lewis in horror. Sir Lewis had been a younger son, oldest inherited the family title, but early, leaving his widow to give his posthumous abstraction until time showed what inheritance was a boy or a girl. It proved he a boy, whereupon Lewis Mallaby had the first information of the fact into execution a matronical project we had carefully concocted in advance. A girl was obtained in a foundling palate and substituted by Lady Mallaby, who was in Lewis's pay, for newly born son and heir. This son he handed over to another place, Hester Corrigan, who was be with £100, half down, in the shape half note, the other half to be paid she announced her safe arrival in T with the stolen child. It occurred Mrs. Corrigan in her transit between London and Liverpool that though would-be acceptable on her arrival child would be only an encumbrance She therefore throw the basket coming him out of the window, forget that in it she had for safety deposited purse. It was the watch borrowed from Lewis Mallaby which first aroused Jamaicons. It bore the same crest—hammer crossed, with the motto strike—which was marked upon lines of the child that Dan Block picked up at Kirklington station. Initial of the name Mallaby coincided with the monogram H. L. M. From this facts and what we had been told by J Sitwell, Jack rapidly drew his consions, and made a bold shot, which the mark, as we have seen. Lewis Mallaby's confession, combined with that of Mrs. Corrigan, who found by the police, soon reinstated rightful heir, and Dan Blockitt in a just after the night mail had flashed through without stopping—bound for Liverpool and the north. The railway officials are collecting, preparatory to going off duty for the night. "Where's Dan?" asked one of the crowd upon the platform. "I saw him in the hut just after the quarter to 11 went through. Can't have come to any harm, surely." "No; he said he'd seen something drop from the train, and he went down the line to pick it up." And Dan had picked up something. It was a basket, a common white wicker basket, with a lid fastened down by a string. What did it contain? Dirty clothes? What? A baby—a child half a dozen-weeks old, no more. Where did you come across it? asked one. "Lying on the line, just where it fell. Perhaps it didn't fall, perhaps it was chucked out. What matter? I've got it, and got to look after it, that's enough for me." The little mite's linen was white and of fine material, but lay upon an old shawl and a few bits of dirty flannel. All they found was a dilapidated purse, a common snap bag pulse of faded brown leather. Inside was a brass thimble, a pawn ticket and the half of a Bank of England note of £100. A new parson—Harrold Treffry—had come lately to Kirklington. He is now paying a round of parochial visits, accompanied by an old college chum, who is spending Christmas with him. "Yonder," said Treffry, pointing to a thin thread of smoke which rose from some gunt trees into the sullien wintry air, "yonder is the house—if, indeed, it deserves so grand a name—the hovel, rather, of one whose case is the hardest of all the hard ones in my parish. This man is a mere hedger and ditcher, one who works for any master, most often for the milley, but who is never certain of its job all the year around. It has a swarm of young children, and has just lost his wife. He is absolutely prostrated; aghast probably at his utter incapacity to do his duty by his motherless little ones. I wonder whether you could rouse him. If you could only get him to make a sign, or cry, or laugh, or to take the smallest interest in common affairs. Jack, I believe you're the very man. You might get at him through the children—that marvelous hanky panky of yours, those surprising tricks; a child takes to you naturally at once. Try and make friends with these. Perhaps when the father sees them interested and amused he may warm a little, speak, perhaps approve, perhaps smile, and in the end give in. Jack, will you try? Jack Newbiggin was by profession a conveyancer, but nature had intended him for a new Houdin, or a wizard of the north. He was more than half a professional by the time he was full grown. In addition to the quick eye and the facile wrist he had the raiser gifts of the suave manner and the face of brass. He had even studied mesmerism and clairvoyance, and could occasion surprise his audience considerably by his power. They entered the miserable dwelling together. The children—eight of them—were all skirmishing over the floor, except one, a child of 6 or 7, a bright eyed, exceedingly beautiful boy, the least—were not nature's vagaries well known—likely to be born among and belong to such surroundings, who stood between the legs of the man himself, who had his back to the visitors, and was crouching low over the scanty fire. The man turned his head for a moment, gave a blank stare, then an imperceptible nod, and once more he slowed. "This is far too valuable," he said courteously "too much of a treasure, to be risked in any conjuring trick. An ordinary modern watch I might replace, but not a work of art like this." And he handed it back to Sir Lewis, who received it with ill concealed satisfaction. He was as much pleased, probably, art Jack's expression of possible failure in the proposed trick as at the recovery of his property. Another watch, however, was pounded into a jelly and brought out whole from parish. "I have been fighting your battles all day," began Mrs. Sitwell, the hostess, when seated at dinner next to Jack. "Was it necessary! I should have thought myself too insignificant." "They were talking at lunch of your wonderful tricks in conjuring, and one said that the skill might prove inconvenient—when you played cards, for instance." "A charitable imputation; with whom did it originate? Sir Lewis Mallaby." "Please point him out to me." He was shown a grave, scowling face upon the right of the hostess—a face like a mask, the surface rough and wrinkled, through which the eyes shone with a baleful light, like corpse candles in a sepulchre. Jack let his companion chatter on. It was his habit to get all the information possible about any company in which he found himself, for his own purpose as a clairvoyant, and when Mrs. Sitwell flagged her with artless questions, and led her on from one person to another, making mental notes to serve him hereafter. It is thus by careful and laborious preparations that many of the strange and seemingly mysterious feats of the clairvoyant conjuror are performed. When the whole party were assembled in the drawing room after dinner a chorus of voices, headed by that of the hostess, summoned Jack to his work. There appeared to be only one dissentent; Sir Lewis Mallaby, who not only did not trouble himself to back up the invitation, but when that performance was actually begun was at no paints to conceal his contempt and dignitary. The conjurer made the conventional plum pudding in a hat, fired wedding rings into quartem loaves; did all manner of craft tricks; knife tricks, pistol tricks, and juggled on conscientiously right through his repertory. There was never a smile on Sir Lewis' face; he sneered unmistakably. Finally, with an orientation that savored of rudeness, he took out his watch, a great gold reporter, looked at it, and unmistakably yawned. Jack hungered for that watch directly he saw it. Perhaps through it he might make its owner uncomfortable if only for a moment. But how to get it into his hands? He asked for a watch—a dozen were offered. No, none of these would do. It must be a good watch—a reporter. Sir Lewis Mallaby's was the only one in the room, and he at first distinctly refused to land it. But so many earnest entreaties were addressed to him, the hostess leading the attack, that he could not in common courtesy continue to refuse. With something like a growl he took his watch off the chain and handed it to Jack Newbiggin. A curious fashioned watch it was, which would have gladdened the heart of a watch collector—all jeweled and enameled, adorned with crest and inscription—an heirloom, which had probably been in the Mallaby-family for years. Jack looked it over curiously, meditatively; then suddenly raised his eyes, he stared intently into Sir Lewis Mallaby's face almost as quickly dropped them again. "This is far too valuable," he said courteously "too much of a treasure, to be risked in any conjuring trick. An ordinary modern watch I might replace, but not a work of art like this." And he handed it back to Sir Lewis, who received it with ill concealed satisfaction.

The man turned his head for a moment, gave a blank stare, then more he gloered down upon the fire. "Here, little ones, do you see this gentleman? He's a conjuror. Know what a conjuror is, Tommy?" catching up a mite of 4 or 5 from the floor. "No, not you; nor you, Sarah; nor you, Jakay" —and he ran through all their names. They had now ceased their gambols and were staring hard at their visitors—the moment was propitious: Jack Newbiggin began. He had fortunately filled his pockets with mats, oranges and calbebefore leaving the paragon, so he had half his apparatus ready in hand. The pretty boy had very soon left the father at the fire and had come over to join in the fun, going back, however, to exhibit his share of the spoil and describe voluminously what had occurred. This and the repeated abuses of laughter seemed to produce some impression on him. Presently he looked over his shoulder and said—but without animation: "It is very good of you, sir, surely; very good for you to take so kindly to the little chicks. It does them good to laugh a bit, but it isn't much as they we had to make 'em lately." "It is good for all of us now and again, I take it," said Jack, desisting and gotowards him, the children gradually collecting in a far off corner and compiling notes. "You can't laugh, sir, if your heart's heavy; if you do it can be only a sham." While he was speaking he had taken the Bible from the shelf, and remaning his seat began to turn the leaves over. "I'm an untraught, rough countryside, air, but I have heard tell that these strange things you do are only trickier, ain't it any? Here was indeed a hospitable sympathHe was roamed them to take some leisure in what had occurred. "All tracers, or course, it all comes of practice," said Jack, as he proceeded to explain some of the simple process, hoping to enchain the man attention. That's what I thought, sir, or I'd be in want of a real conjurer many a long day, and nothing will do. See here, sir, And as he spoke he took the pocketbook from the hands of the really simplified harness, and exhibited, for inspection—the half of a Bank of England note for 100. "Stay!" said Jack Newbiggin, facing him aloudly, and speaking in a voice of thunder. "It is not so—you know it—it is only the halt! And as he spoke he took the pocketbook from the hands of the really simplified harness, and exhibited, for inspection—the half of a Bank of England note for 100. There was much excitement at this harmanism and successful comment of what thou shalt lead to alter-ning proceedings in a general. But Jack produced yet no salient. This is far too valuable," he said courteously, "too much of a treasure, to be raked in any conjuring trick. An ordinary modern watch I might replace, but not a work of art like this." And he handed it back to Sir Lewis, who received it with ill concealed satisfaction. He was as much pleased, probably, at Jack's expression of possible failure in the proposed trick as at the recovery of his property. Another watch, however, was pounded into a jelly and brought out whole from a cabinet in an adjoining room. "Oh, but it is too postponous," Sir Lewis Mallaby was heard to say, quite angrily. The continued apprehension profoundly disgusted him. "This is the merest charismatism. It must be put an end to. It is the common imposture. These are things which he has coached up in advance. Let him be tried with something which upon the face of it he cannot have learned beforehand by artificial means." "Try him, Sir Lewis; try him yourself," cried several voices. "I scarcely like to lend myself to such folly or encourage so pitiful an exhibition." But he seemed to be conscious that further protest would be in Jack's favor, so he said: "Can you tell what I have in this pocket?" He touched the left breast of his cost. "A pocketbook." "Bah! Every one carries a pocketbook in his pocket." "But do you?" asked several of the bystanders, all of whom were growing deeply interested in this strange duel. Sir Lewis Mallaby confessed that he did, and produced it—an ordinary monocle leather pince and pocket book, all in one. "Are you prepared to go on?" said the hornet, houghtily, to Jack. "Certainly." "What does this pocketbook contain?" "Evidence." "Evidence of what?" "Of facts that must sooner or later, come to light." "What ridiculous nonsense!" I give you my word that this pocketbook contains nothing—absolutely nothing—but a Bank of England note for £100. "Stay!" said Jack Newbiggin, facing him aloudly, and speaking in a voice of thunder. "It is not so—you know it—it is only the halt!

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. Romy Mcnally for the Vine Minesmen Two or three suggestions have recently been made concerning this matter which are worth while noticing, if for no other purpose than drawing attention here to and securing the experience of a number of vine-growers in the same direction. The idea has been advanced that the mysterious affection of the vine may be the outcome of the practice of pruning followed for a long term of years. It is claimed, with great show of reason, that it is unnatural for a vine to be out back to the stamp each year, as is the practice here. The greater proportion of energy necessary each year in producing the heavy growth of canes, with the additional burden of a larger amount of fruit, than when the cases are allowed to remain in great part, is reasonably claimed to be a far greater effort than would be required were the vines trained on stakes or trellises, and only moderately pruned each season. By requiring the almost entire reproduction of the vine each season the vitality of the soil is depleted in a rapid manner, and unless fertilizing substances are added it must inevitably result that there will be a depreciation in the productivity of the vines. Nature always recompenses care or neglect in an unmistakable way. It is as impossible that long continued cropping without the use of fertilizers will not result disastrously, as that the application of fertilizing material will not be followed by good results. The vegetable kingdom in this respect may be likened to the animal. With a low-aged vitality brought about by insufficient nourishment and improper care, the human system becomes liable to the attacks of disease of various kinds, which it would successfully resist it in a proper condition. Indeed, while disease may not in many cases be the direct outgrowth of such a lowered state of vitality, nevertheless that condition directly invites the attacks of different diseases, which assume all varieties of forms. So it is with plant life. Let the vitality of tree or vine be reduced by the long-continued production of heavy crops, without the stimulation of food, and they will become fit subjects for the ravages of disease. This may appear in various forms, and it may broilers—(the percentage of him in hatching in very small) every four weeks may one figure up for himself by amputating what he can get for them in the local markets or from dealers who ship to San Francisco. If this might be too costly for the pumme, there are smaller men for less than thirty dollars, or, in default of even that, after settling home, which heat nothing a long ways. If any one doubts the market of these things, let him consider the immense amount they are daily shipping from "the crates," the frequency with which carriages from the East are attached here and sold, and that as high as eightteen carloads—about 3,200—have been brought to Los Angeles in a week. How much money are we then sending away that we ought to keep at home? Enough to make us poor and keep us poor—and serve us right, too, for being too lazy or incompetent to feed ourselves. Artesian Wells of Dakota. The artesian wells of Dakota are probably the most remarkable for pressure, and the immense quantity of water supplied, of any ever opened. More than a hundred of such wells from 500 to 1,600 feet deep, are to-day in successful operation, distributed throughout twenty-nine counties, from Yankten, in the extreme south, to Panbina, in the extreme north, giving forth a constant, never varying stream, which is in no wine affected by the increased number of walls, and showing a gauge pressure in some instances as high as 160, 170, 175 and 187 pounds to the square inch. The tremendous power is utilized, in the more important towns, for water supply, fire protection, and the driving of machinery, at a wonderful saving on the original cost of plant and maintenance, when compared with steam. In the city of Yankton a forty horse power turbine-wheel operating a two-mill by day and an electric-light plant by night, is driven by the force of water flowing from an artesian well, the coast of obtaining which was no greater than would have been the cost of a steam engine developing the same power, not counting the continual outlay necessary (had steam been employed) for fuel, repairs, and the salaries of engineer and fireman. What has been accomplished through the aid of natural gas and cheap fuel in building up manufactures elsewhere, may some day be rivalled on the prairies of Dakota by taping the inexhaustible power stored in nature's reservoir beneath the surface. In 1860 less than a thousand bushels of In the watch borrowed from Sir Mallaby which first aroused Jack's admiration. It bore the same crest—two crossed, with the motto: "I—which was marked upon the child that Dan Blockitt up at Kirklington station. The name Mallaby coincided with the monogram H. L. M. From these and what we had been told by Mrs. Jack rapidly drew his conclusion made a bold shot, which hit back, as we have seen. Mallaby's confession, combined with that of Mrs. Corrigan, who was the police, soon reinstated the their, and Dan Blockitt in after no reason to prompt him to give the founding the shelter of his rude London Tid-Bits. The vegetable kingdom in this respect may be likened to the animal. With a low vitality brought about by insufficient nourishment and improper care, the human system becomes liable to the attacks of disease of various kinds, which it would successfully resist were it in proper condition. Indeed, while disease may not in many cases be the direct outgrowth of such a lowered state of vitality, unaversible that condition directly invites the attacks of different diseases, which assume all varieties of forms. So it is with plant life. Let the vitality of tree or vine be reduced by the long-continued production of heavy crops, without the stimulation of food, and they will become subject for the ravages of disease. This may appear in various forms, and it may show a wide divergence in its method of attack, so much so as to be puzzling even to experts. But the broad principle may be laid down that the majority of diseases which attack plant life are directly invited by lack of proper nutrition and the exhaustion of the soil. The remedy, therefore, is easy. Provided the matter has not been neglected too long, upon the first appearance of the disease, or even before, for that matter, let a thorough course of fertilization and cultivation be resorted to, and nine times out of ten no serious damage will result. For many years the fruit growers of those portions of the State where irrigation is practical have indulged in the belief that the application of water obviated the necessity for the use of manure. They pointed to the vigorous growth of vine and tree as a proof of their position; and indeed, their opinion seemed well founded. But, as time went on, it has been developed that the stimulus of irrigation must have its reactionary effect, and that dissatisfaction were certain to follow sooner or later unless propitions were taken. It is believed by many that the orange orchards of the various localities which have been ruined by the scale insects would never have fallen so easy a prey had they, from the beginning, been treated in other than the most careless fashion. This opinion finds support in the fact that in sections where careful cultivation and fertilization are the uniform practice, none of the enemies of the orange have yet obtained a foothold even though separated by but a few miles from sections where the orange groves are now melanomaly wreck.

Many farmers now currants, gooseberries, strawberries and blackberries are needed for home consumption, but they buy the cranberries they use, if they have any. The great majority of farmers have more for the reason that they are not kept in country greenery, or because their price is above their means. A small patch of cranberries will prove to be a paying investment to any farmer who has a place on big land on his place and facilities for flooding it. When it is once prepared and a good amount of plants has been obtained, no further labor will be required except to gather the fruit. There are good reasons for expecting that it will produce crops for fifty years. A cranberry patch will continue to be productive longer than an apple orchard. Cranberries ordinarily sell less $2.50 per bushel, and a good picker can gather two bushels or more a day. No small fruits will keep as long as cranberries, and none are more desirable. They are to the winter season that strawberries are to summer. It is best to make the surface of the cranberry patch level and to remove from it all grasses.

Adams, of Tustin, tells us three-fourths of the attention to orchards that the Eastern farmers air grain fields and then economize in their properties, the aggregate of from fruit culture would be unparalleled in the whole world. The Captain has up of English walnuts for four years forty trees, and says he has never crop for less than $475. He recently crop of the walnuts for exactly $531. Has his trees as carefully as a merlard his ledgers; he knows them all he makes a thorough business of farms. The average proceeds from an ount tree on his place this season has 27. The crop was not a very good one. His walnut trees, he has 1,000 orange trees, which he looks after with care, and last week he was given a offer, for two weeks, of $3,280 for one on the trees. He sold last year's $3,000 cash down, without picking himself. He has also fear areas of trees that have borne for three years. He sold the whole crop for $296. Ancient more walnut and orange trees. He has paid $130 for labor during twelve months. He is still another practical illustration that a twenty-acre farm in Southern Illinois locality will do under the entreat of an efficient wide-awake man. He states that no land-farmer or horticulturist east of the mountains has made such profits from a twenty-acre piece of property at since the war. And yet there are people who will sit amid the grass whittle up day goods horses for horses and dolefully tell you that there is in southern California we insist that there is if the attends to his business—Pomona Valley.

Chicken culture is from which any careful, attentive and industrious person could realize a handsome competence in a few years, but that important branch of our industrial prosperity and progress is nally neglected. We need poultry raisers as well as small fruit farmers and diligent workers in all the different branches of agriculture and horticulture. We have thousands of acres of idle lands in this valley that ought to be bringing in an income. Charles A. Gardiner contributes the following in the Pasfflena Star upon the chicken question: You cannot do a better service with your excellent paper than by urging your readers to raise more poultry, not, as has been fancierly observed, to raise them on dark nights; employ colored servants to raise them on the way home from prayer meeting; but the good old legitimate way of setting a bed or an incubator, and producing a plantful crop of chicks in the regular period of twenty-one days. Probably there is no other article for which there is required little time as a crop of chickens. The money necessary is very little. For less than $100 can be had a 250 egg incubator, with the necessary materials and eggs for setting. Almost anything can be congruent back room or kitchen suitable for its accommodation. Very little time is necessary to be given to it during incubation. At ten or twelve weeks old the chickens are ready for sale as broilers, and then, in fifteen weeks from the beginning in a crop ready for sale, for which there is always a good demand for "cash"—no credit. The incubator, of summe can be kept always running from fresh eggs be produced every three or four weeks throughout the year. The value of this crop—twenty-five dollars cause their price is above their means. A small patch of cranberries will prove to be paying investment to any farmer who has a place of big land on his place and facilities for flooding it. When it is once prepared and a good stock of plants has been obtained, no further labor will be required except to gather the fruit. There are good reasons for expecting that it will produce crops for fifty years. A cranberry patch will continue to be productive longer than an apple orchard. Cranberries ordinarily sell for $2.50 per bushel, and a good picker can gather two bushels or more a day. No small fruits will keep as long as cranberries, and none are more desirable. They are to the winter season what strawberries are to summer. It is best to make the surface of the cranberry patch level and to remove from it all grass and the roots of bushes. The sod can be cut with a plow and used in constructing a dam. The surface should be covered with clean sand so that it will be from three to four inches thick. Great pains should be taken during the first season to prevent the growth of grass and weeds. In cultivating a patch containing only a few square rods no implements will be required but a common hoe and garden rake. These move through the sand very easily. Plants can be obtained from any of the large growers at a very low price. The bell and pear varieties, so called from their shape, are the best. Halse Poultry.
