The costumes of the ladies were conspicuous. They looked as if they had gotten themselves up to represent rainbows at a fancy dress ball. The most gorgeous tints of all colors were combined in a confusion that was bewildering, and with their lavish display of arms and neck, their barbaric taste for gold and silver gowgaws, and their great, black sensuous eyes made a picture which might be taken to resemble the court of a savage king. They are educated to distrust everybody. AGRICULTURAL NOTES. Irrigation bonds. Kn-Judge Ramahmiah of the legal firm of Ramahmiah & Subhash of San Francisco who is justly regarded as one of the best authorities on bonds and like matters, was nominally by a Bulletin reporter, and asked whether in his opinion irrigation bonds were good, marketable securities. "Well," he said, "the Wright hall itself is constitutional, for the Supreme Court has twice denied on that point. The real source of danger, however, and one from which many complications are likely to arise, which may originate prejudice their sale, in the manner in which the bonds are prepared. The very greatest care should be employed in forming the districts, and the service of a competent lawyer secured who will draw up the bonds so that they will comply with the law. "In the first place the Wright bill requires that at least fifty freewashers shall sign the petition for the formation of a district. The legal definition of a freewasher is one who inherits an estate or holds it for life. "In some instances persons other than freewashers have signed the petition or at least it has not been signed by fifty freewashers, and this if proved would be sufficient to render the bonds invalid." "This has been the difficulty with a great many municipal and county bonds as well as irrigation bonds. I have pawned on a number of city and county bonds for bankers and others and I have often been compelled to reject them on account of this very defect. I rejected the mostgomery-averse bonds after half a dozen lawyers had approved them, because the petition for their issue had not been signed by a majority of the property-owners on the street, as the law at that time required. The Shaheen county bonds also were rejected by me, on account of their defective insurance, but were afterward redrawn in conformity with the opinion I rendered and were sold at a premium. THE LAW SHOULD BE OBSERVED. "Then the directions of the law as to the manner of holding the elections should be strictly followed out. In a great many in..." THE WOMEN OF COSTA RICA. Ignorant and Not Beautiful, but They Make Good Wives and Mothers. The costumes of the ladies were conspicuous. They looked as if they had gotten themselves up to represent rainbows at a fancy dress ball. The most gorgeous tints of all colors were combined in a confusion that was bewildering, and with their lavish display of arms and neck, their barbaric taste for gold and silver gowgaws, and their great, black sensuous eyes made a picture which might be taken to resemble the court of a savage king. They are educated to distrust everybody; they learn nothing but embroidery and wickiness, and spend their lives in rocking chairs telling each other what they have heard from their husbands of this, that and the other Don Juan. They go to mass every morning and usually take a promemale in the plaza after dark to hear the band play. With these two entertainments the daily routine of their lives begins and ends, and they compose the most diverting incidents of their existence. They are not beautiful, these tropical women, as the pests would have us believe. They have wondrous eyes and white teeth and syphilis formis when they are young, but the lack of physical exercise makes them awkward and obese, and their complexions are destroyed by the use of plaster of paris enamel with which they cover their faces. Their husbands control their bodies and the priests their souls. To be a dutiful wife and to go to mass every morning, to so that Dolores does not flirt with men through the window grating, and to know the latest scandal about her next door neighbor is the duty and diversion of the tropical matron. At first to the inexperienced traveler the tropical belle appears very attractive. When her plaster of parts complexion is not too thick to be repulsive, and permits the transparent purity of her olive skin to be seen, she is certain of leaving a pleasant impression upon the mind of a susceptible man. Her eyes are wonderously effective, and to use them is a matter of education. A tropical girl can throw more meaning into a single glance than her Yankee sister can convey in an hour's conversation; and her gestures and motions are captivating in their intelligence and grace. She may not be able to write a sentence correctly—for the education of women has not been considered essential to their happiness—and have as vague a conception of where an American comes from as she has of the composition of the stars. She can, however, conceal her intellectual defects and exhibit her attractions with more than an abundance of those coquettish graces with which budding womanhood has been endowed in all ages and latitudes. She is amiable, gentle and generous, never loses her self possession, and is never at a loss for the proper word or movement. She does not know how to be rude, and is gifted with rare natural powers of sympathy and diplomacy. Her perceptions are keen and unerring. She does not need a diagram to find the point of a witticism, and reads one's thoughts with clairvoyant power. But she never reasons; it is not necessary for her to do so. She follows instinct, and the faculty is strongly developed. In your conversation she is always interested, and brightens it with flashes of wit and sympathetic interpolation. You feel that she is entertained, and are gratified at her attention and apprehension, but when you attempt to search her mind for knowledge the illusion vanishes, and you see only the plaything that she is—Costa Rica Cor. Philadelphia Inquirer. Paganini's Grave. In the Mediterranean, not far from the town of Cannes, St. Ferreol, a naked woman with irrigation bonds. I have mamed on a number of city and seamy bonds for bankers and others and I have often been compelled to reject them on account of this very defect. I rejected the montgomery avenue bonds after half a dozen lawyers had approved them, because the petition for their issue had not been signed by a majority of the property-owners on the street, as the law at that time required. The Shaeta county bonds also were rejected by me, on account of their defective insurance, but were afterward redrawn in conformity with the opinion I rendered and were sold at a premium. THE LAW SHOULD BE OBSERVED. "Then the directions of the law as to the manner of holding the elections should be strictly followed out. In a great many instances bonds are drawn without the services of an attorney having been secured. I remembered in the case of the Santa Ana bonds, which I examined and rejected, that they were drawn under a law which had been repealed before the bonds were issued. This certainly showed the absence of the offices of an attorney, or at least the presence of those of a very poor one." "You may state generally," said Mr. Rosenbaum, "that if the districts that issue bonds would strictly comply with the law and employ competent lawyers, they would have not the slightest difficulty in placing them. Why, I have to reject nearly one-half the bonds that are presented to me for examination, and solely because they are not according to strictly legal form. The fault is not in the bonds themselves, but in their method of preparation. "Irrigation bonds are a good investment. undoubtedly, for I know a number of banks in this city that are willing to take them, and there is any amount of idle money in San Francisco looking for investment. I have a number of bonds under consideration at present, and if they are found lawless I know that my client will invest. BANKS WILLING TO INVEST. "The Bank of California are willing to buy them, after they are satisfied that the bonds are perfect, and so are a number of the savings banks. "There is no question but what irrigation has been a great blessing to the State, or at least part of it. Look at Frese, now one of the most prosperous counties in the State. Why, before the introduction of irrigation, land in Frese would not bring $3 an acre. And the same way with Stanialaus, which contains two districts—Turlock and Modesto. Before irrigation was made possible it was not usual to count, on more than one crop in three." "By the way, there ought to be no trouble about the regularity of the bonds from those two districts, as they are in a position to secure the services of Mr. Wright, the author of the bill, who lives in Modesto." Mr. Rosenbaum again stated, and with emphasis, that if the precise form was closely observed in the matter of the petition elections and drawing of the bonds, no difficulty need be anticipated in placing them." If you make this very plain," said he, "it may be of some benefit to the farmers of districts in the future, as they may take pains to correctly observe the law; and as I said before, if this is done they will find a ready market." A New Theory. A correspondent of a Los Angeles exchange asserts that vines can trivially only in a draft, or that a plenty of windy weather is essential to their healthy growth. Not well-watered, but the well-winded tracts will soon be in demand by viticulturists. The vine is no succulent plant requiring a moist, rich, alluvial soil; out of aridity, on coarse "good for nothing" ground it thrives. On poor, thin soil, on the barren, gravel, slopes of the hills and highlands, where there is plenty of air and sunshine, is the natural healthy home of the vine. The grape is home of the spirit of the air! Nothing short She does not need a diagram to find the point of a witticism, and reads one's thoughts with clairvoyant power.

Philadelphia Inquirer. Paganini's Grave. In the Mediterranean, not far from the town of Cannes, lies St. Ferreol, a naked rock, bristling with stony spines and points, and evidently bidding defiance to any one who would dare seek a foothold. A little earth has accumulated in its hollows, and affords nourishment to beautiful lilies and blue iris. Here for five years lay the body of Paganini, the great musician. In 1840 he was on his way home to Genoa, accompanied by his son, and died at Nice, where the cholera was raging. The son infrequently took his body on board ship and set sail for Genoa, but on his arrival there the authorities refused to give burial to the musician, whose well known peculiarities had given rise to a general belief in his insanity. Moreover, the cholera was also raging at Genoa, and it was pretended that the presence of the body of one who had died where the disease was prevalent might increase the alarm of the people. The son then returned to Marseilles, but entrance to that port was refused him for the same reason, and he went on to Cannes, which was also closed to him. His plight was a desperate one, and when he at last chanced to sight St. Ferreol, a new thought suggested itself. He effected a landing there, with the greatest difficulty, and buried his father's body in the center of the island. In 1845 the body was removed, and taken to Genoa for burial. One can scarcely help feeling, however, that the lonely lake, almost overwhelmed by billows, was a more appropriate resting place for one who had never been akin to serenity.—Youth's Companion.

A correspondent of a Los Angeles exchange asserts that vines can tival only in a draft, or that a plenty of windy weather is essential to their healthy growth. Not the well-watered, but the well-winded tracts will soon be in demand by viticulturists. The vine is no succulent plant requiring a moist, rich, alluvial soil; out of aridity, on coarse, "good for nothing" ground it thrives. On poor, thin soil, on the barren, gravel, slopes of the hills- and highlands, where there is plenty of air and sunshine, is the natural, healthy home of the vine. The grape is born of the spirit of the air! Nothing short of a miracle can make water into wine, but the wondrous cells of the vine can distill the choiceest, gladsome juices from the solar rays and the rare breath of heaven. Like its devotes the vine is a good feeder and a deep drinker; but it does not live upon the fat of the land nor love to dwell by the still waters. It is a hardy plant, has no need of sheltering care; asks only heroie treatment. It does not dread, but demands, exposure to the pitiless heat of the summer sun and the winter's wind. The former perfects its glorious fruit; the latter defends it from its foes. From November to April the vine laughs with and loves the wanton winds. She has nothing to lose and everything to gain from them; during these five months of her hibernation. The harvest of her precious fruitage over, she eats aside her foliage, and submits to be shorn of her graceful sprays and a bare and lowly stock says to the ruthless, penetrating rushing winds: "Scratch me and see if there is any evil thing in me." And they do it, piercing into every crevice and possible lurking-place of an enemy; and, indeed, rage so far蛮然 that every perifectorous thing is cut off from any possible approach. Lance-Winged Fly. As we journeyed into the city last Tuesday in conversation with a prominent orchardist of Sierra Madre he stated that there is now no reasonable doubt that the lace-winged fly is destroying the red scale. The larva very much resembles a very small scorpion and has the power of pinching or blinding when disturbed, and no doubt uses these little flaps in penetrating the crust of the scale. This fly is a native of this section, having been known to naturalize all along; but how it is possible it should allow the red scale to get such a firm hold, being an amount of the scale, is more than our enthranimatic friend can tell. It may be just possible there is a mistake out and that even some of our enthranimates are having deceived, but at present writing the weight of evidence seems in favor...

The time is coming when something presented in California will find a ready market. Only a short time ago they were shipping petroleum this way, but now the millands are taking main loads of the host petroleum in the world, mind in southern California, to the East, and the supply and demand are continually increasing. After years ago the writer, while travelling in Iowa and adjacent States, found the only position to use there to be imported from Ireland. If they can be bought so many thousand miles there is no reason why they cannot be carried one fourth of the distance from this State. This is being done now, and railroad officials report very large shipments from this nation to the East, the market extending from Denver through the Western States to Chicago. California wines do not yet come and the prestige they ought to at the East, but the time is coming when every gallon that can be manufactured here will find a ready market. The faith has been that not enough care was examined in preparing, holding and shipping. The wine was often sent before sufficiently aged and before its flavor was fully developed. That is being remanded and California wine will soon dominate the market at the East. The industry is a comparatively new one here, and vigourous have yet much to learn, but they are becoming adoptive in the matter and will in time rush their reward. Good wine well handled will make its way in the world, and command a good price. Recently a wine maker of Los Angeles sent a sample of his clarets to a Chicago hotel with the prizes naked, and a telegram name book with an order for the whole lot. The Pomona Wine Company has just received an order from New York for 50,000 gallons of wine, twenty carloads to be shipped immediately. California will soon take their proper place in the markess of the world. The orange industry is in a most flourishing coalition, and we fear for five years ago Signed and put into prison, there will be a change in the character of our founding and a standard government in the futility of our calls. The Goodhouses Commission. San Francisco will be glad to hear that California is to be represented at the meeting of the International Geodetic Association, which will be held at Paris on October Sixth. George Davison of the Coast and Goodhouses Survey has been notified to be present to represent this country. Goodbye is the colonies of measuring the earth, a landmark which has only been undertaken on current principles in our time. It is so important, of the only means of correcting maps, that by every civilized country unimitable engraving we are now at work on by whom they have completed their labors we shall have more reliable knowledge of the features of the globe on which we live. When the conditions mount at Paris the promise of the permanent commission will exhibit the truth of their labors in the international determinations of latitude, latitude and minima, levelling of precision, results obtained from self-engineering tidegues, determinations of gravity from pendulum experiments, and local definitions of the plumb-line from the presence of mountain masses, or from heavier masses below the surface of the ground. On these points the United States Geodesic Survey will be able to report a main triangulation of the whole country from this coast to the Atlantic on the parallel of 35°—a network larger than has been undertaken in any other country, and which has been proclaimed by foreigners to be "unique in the history of geography." In some branches of the work our American performance has not been annulled. It has taught us that along our seaboard the bottom of the Pacific drops suddenly to a depth of two miles in a distance of fifty miles from the shore, while the seaboard itself is marked by the parallel mountains of the Coast Range and those of Sierra Nevada and the Cascades. Lines of precise levelling have been carried across the continent; when they are completed we shall know the exact relation of the surface of the I have pawned on county bonds for bank here, often been commissioned of this very montgomery avenue lawyers had applied for them by me, on account of the street, as the law The Shaeta county by me, on account of the street, as the law The Shaeta county by me, on account of the street, as the law The Shaeta county by me, on account of the street, as the law The Shaeta county by me, on account of the street, as the law The Shaeta county by me, on account of the street, as the law The Shaeta county by me, on account of the street, as the law Of the law as to the collections should be in a great many instances without the service being secured.

The industry is a comparatively new one here, and vigorous have yet much to learn, but they are becoming adepts in the matter and will in time reap their reward. Good wine well handled will make its way in the world, and command a good price. Recently a wine-maker of Los Angeles sums a sample of his clarata to a Chicago hotel with the price asked, and a telegram name bank with an order for the whole list. The Pomona Wine Company has just received an order from New York for 50,000 gallons of wine, twenty carloads to be shipped immediately. California will soon take their proper place in the markets of the world. The orange industry is in a most flourishing coalition, and yes fear or five years ago the grower was lucky if he did not receive a bill from the commission house for a portion of the freight, the invoices not having sold for enough to transport it to the market. Now he demands a rousing profit for the fruit as it hangs upon the tree, and is relieved of all care as to the picking, packing, shipping and selling of the crop. Part of this is due to the railroads, which have done all they can to foster and encourage the enterprises, and it is partly due to the better means of caring for the fruit and thus putting it on the market in a perfect state. Lemon culture in this section has not been a very paying investment, as the fruit does not stand well in the market and does not keep well in the hands of the Eastern par­enter, but a change will soon come, and the grower of the best varieties of lemons will be as well rewarded for his labors as the raiser of oranges. The orange is shipped in the winter and does not need much preparation or caring process to put it upon the market, although some inventive gasins will yet find a way to cure them and place them fresh on the markets in middle August. The lemon had been shipped in the same manner as the orange, and the result has been that it failed when brought into competition with the European article. This is being remedied, and now a well earned lemon is being shipped every week to the East that for shipping and other qualities will hold its own with any grown in the world. This is a comparatively new country, and it will take time and experience to bring its products to their best state for market purposes, but intelligent men are working the problem, and their success in the market is assured. A Novet Prayer. At Panadena, it is said, a band of prohibition women visited a dragstore which reputed to be doing a backdoor business in the wet good lime and tried by praying to induce the proprietor to obey the precepts and intents of Ordinance 125. Mr. Mortarand-pental invited the ladies to meet and asked them to pray, and then offered himself the following prayer: "Almighty Creator in Heaven! Thou hast made heaven and earth and created man in Thine own image as ruler of this earth. Whilst animal are living on grass and water. Thou didst Thy servant Neah to make wine, and thou didst not punish him for making intemperate use of it. At the wedding of Onee Thiny only Son Jama Christ transformed water into wine when the juice of the grape was exhausted, that the enjoyment of the guests might not be disturbed. The great reformer Martin Luther, said: "He who loves not wine, women and song remains a fool all his life long." And all the great men upon this earth have been drinking of the wine Thou hast given Thy children upon the earth. O Lord! we pray these, have pity upon these women here who are not grateful for Thy gifts, who want to make Thy children like beats of the field and compel them to drink water like an ex., while they dress extravagantly and lead their husbands, by other extravagance not tending to our well-being to bankruptcy, and depriving them of all pleasures of this world, yea, driving them even to suicide. O Lord! have mercy on these ladies; look upon them; they wear not even the color of the face which Thou hast given them, but they are sinning against Thee and, not content with naturs, paint their faces. O Lord! canest only perceive that their figure is not as Thou hast made it; but they wear humps upon their backs like camels. Then seest O Lord! that their head-dress consists of false hair, and when they open their mouth Thou seest their false teeth. O Lord! these women want men who will patiently accept all these without using the power Thou hast given to man that all women shall be subject to man. They will not bear the burden of married life and obey Thy commands to multiply and replenish the earth, but they are too lazy to raise their children; and O Lord! Thou knowest the crimes they commit. O Lord! have mercy upon them and take them back unto Thy bosom; take folly out of their hearts; give them common sense that they may become good and worthy citizens of our beloved city of Panadena, the Crown of the Valley. O Lord! we thank Thee for all the Los Angeles exchange arrival only in a draft, only weather is essential. Not the well-winded tracts will visit viticulturists. The plant requiring a moist, acidity, or coarse ground it thrives. On barren, gravel, alpine lands, where there is no rain, is the natural wine. The grape is air!

Our American experiment stations are only just getting into working order, but if they are properly conducted, and farmer profit by the information imparted by the bulletins of the Agricultural Department, old aliphad method of farming will give place to a higher scheme of cultivation. In the newer States and Territories, with their rich virgin soil, the progress of what is called scientific farming will be slow. But it is a good sign that the Western States have been among the earliest to establish agricultural experiment stations. It is well known that in all the States except the newest, thenable yield of the cereals has been steadily diminishing, and that it is only by our vast extent of territory and the constant taking in of new lands that we have been able to furnish a large surplus annually of wheat and flour and corn for exportation. If we compare the average yield of our wheat fields, including even the greatest wheat fields of Dakota, which are the newest under cultivation, with one average yield of wheat in England and Germany, our unkillful and wasteful methods of farming will become at once manifest. In Germany and England the land—the same soil—has been under tillage for many centuries, yet it is now in a higher condition of fertility than it was two centuries ago, and the average norrble yield of wheat in fair seasons is quite double the average yield in the United States. If we took only into consideration the old board States the difference in favor of England and Germany in norrble yield would be nearly two-thirds. The average yield of wheat per acre in Maryland, according to the last summers, was less than eleven hundredths to the new while in England and Germany it ranges from twenty-four to thirty hundreths. The same contrast prevails in all of the older States of the Union, although Pennsylvania makes a better showing than any of the others. Of recent years the Maryland farmers have also annually increased the average product of their fields. But the fact remains that from the date of the earliest settlement of the country we have been wanting our inheritance taking in new hands as the old becomes exhausted, and doing little or nothing to restore to the soil the constituents that the crops took from it. The agricultural experiment stations have been instituted to ensure a better order of things, and if the humans they teach are thoughtfully considered, backs like camels. Then meet, O Lord! that their head-dress consists of false hair, and false teeth. O Lord! these women want men who will patiently accept all these without using the power Thus hast given to man that all women shall be subject to man. They will not bear the burden of married life and obey Thy commands to multiply and replenish the earth, but they are too lazy to raise their children; and O Lord! Thou knowest the crimes they commit. O Lord! have mercy upon them and take them hearts; give then common sense that they may become good and worthy citizens of our beloved city of Fremontana, the Crown of the Valley. O Lord! we thank Thee for all the blessings bestowed upon us, and ask Thee to deliver us from all evils, especially hypocritical women; and Thine shall be the praise for ever and ever. Amen." A synopsis of capitalists, including a dozen or more million residents of Bismarck, Grand Yorks and Jamestown, has been organized to develop a new canal scheme that will reclaim upward of 5,000,000 acres of arid and new neolithic land in North Dakota. The idea is to construct a canal from the Minneapolis river at Bismarck, 1,668 feet above the level of the sea, to Lake Traverse and Big Stone Lake, 900 feet above the sea level. This canal would run through a section of country in North and South Dakota that is in great need of irrigation. Lateral annals are to be constructed by various counties and hundreds of thousands of acres land reclaimed, while the present cultivated country will be wonderfully enhanced in value. The announcement by Prof. Elisha Gray that he has perfected the telartograph, will bring some dismay to the holders of Ball telephone stock. As a means of prompt and above accurate communication by wire, it is far ahead of the telephone, and in advance moreover of the telegraph. It would not be surprising to find the telephones out of date and wholly dismarded two years from now. A most ratttmannak has been discovered at the summits of Wilhelm's Peak, where the new observatory is to be placed. Professor Black came within an hour of being harpenced by a huge mariner' winning fourteen rattles and a brittle last Friday evening. John L. Sullivan was sentenced to a year's long sentence at Puerta Mina, for having fenghs with Kilman. He gave bail in $1,-000 m appalachian, which will be heard in March next.
