CHICAGO, June 18.—Dispatches from St. Paul, Minn., says: There is a terrible row over census matters in the Twin Cities. Last night, armed with warrants charging seven census enumerators with making fraudulent returns, United States Marshal Daggett and some assistants swooped down on the oensus bureau in Minneapolis, arrested the men and took them and all the returns they were canvassing to St. Paul. This morning there was a tempest in Minneapolis when this was learned. A search warrant was sworn out in the municipal court of Minneapolis, and two officers came over here to get the returns, which had been confiscated. The custodians of the papers refused to surrender them, and, after an altercation, the Minneapolis men were forcibly ejected from the On Friugal, When Spotted Residence to the Vine Millmen. The world is turning with vegetable and animal life. In the process of evolution the vegetable life beginning first, so as to afford a means of subsistence, ready for animal life when it begins to be developed. And as in the animal life we find many different grades from the lower gradually advancing to the higher, so in the vegetable life we find lower and higher forms, each occupying a certain sphere and performing a certain work in the plan of creation. Plants are usually divided into two great divisions — Cryptogams and Phanerogams. Cryptogams or flowerless plants including the higher forms. Phanerogams or flowering plants including the higher forms. Among the Cryptogams are the Algae, growing in water and deriving their nourishment from it. These preserve the parity of the water and furnish food for the abundant animal life found in it. The lichens, growing on rocks and deriving their nourishment from the air. These clothethe bare rocks with a covering which makes the beginning of a soil for the growth of some of the higher forms of vegetable life. Then we have the fungi growing on dead and decaying animal and vegetable matter, and deriving their nourishment from the substances on which they grow. They hasten the decay of the material on which they grow and render it less noxious, and may be called the scavengers of the vegetable world. They grow from spores, first forming a mycelium, which is a mass of small threads penetrating the substance on which they are found. This mycelium, which is seldom seen on the surface, is the plant, the part appearing on the surface is the reproductive part. The commoner fungi such as the mushroom and the various kinds of mould are familiar to all. No sooner does death take possession of any vegetable, than a host of fungi of various kinds are ready to work its decomposition. This is at once evident in the softar instructures, which are seen reduced to humus by the combined action of putrescence and fungi. The hardest wood yields to the same agent.

AHEIM, CAL. night, armed with warrants charging seven census enumerators with making fraudulent returns, United States Marshal Daggett and some assistants swooped down on the census bureau in Minneapolis, arrested the men and took them and all the returns they were canvassing to St. Paul. This morning there was a tempest in Minneapolis when this was learned. A search warrant was sworn out in the municipal court of Minneapolis, and two officers came over here to get the returns, which had been confiscated. The custodians of the papers refused to surrender them, and after an alteration, the Minneapolis men were forcibly ejected from the building. The St. Paul people sore out warrants, which caused the whole affair, before a United States Commissioner last evening, and alleged that gross frauds were being perpetrated in Minneapolis in an endeavor to influence the population returns. It is stated late to night that the Inspector of the Census Bureau has telegraphed particularies of the case to Supt. Porter at Washington, and awaits instructions. It is posible a recount of both cities may be made. The fierce rivalry existing between them is at the bottom of the unfortunate affair. A dispatch from Minneapolis says the arrest of the enumerator was a high-handed outrage, which has stirred the whole populance of Minneapolis up to a high pitch of indignation, which is intensified by the forcible abstraction and detention of the returns. The officers and citizens who went to St. Paul this morning with the search warrant tell another story from that told in the St. Paul dispatches, and say they were grossly insulted and forced from the building at the muzzles of revolvers. An enormous mass meeting was held at Masonic Temple to-night, presided over by Mayor Babb, at which resolutions denunciatioty of the action of St. Paul were adopted; also, one calling on the people to use all means in their power to have the State Capitol removed elsewhere from St. Paul. There promises to be a great deal of trouble over the matter. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Ill. makes the statement that she caught cold which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeful victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist presented Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from first dose. She continued its use and after taking ten bottles, found her self sound and well, now does her own housework and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at Win. M.

There are many of the older and more experienced orange growers in California who are turning their attention to the profit in or-anges that come into market late in the season. After four years of almost exclusive planting of Navel oranges, we find the sentiment is growing that the Mediterranean Sweet or Valencia are really the best oranges in the month of April and especially May, has caused the change in opinion concerning the Navel orange. J. DeBarth Shorb of San Gabriel advised a Pomona fruit grower, the other day, to plant Mediterranean Sweets. He argued that this variety of or-anges kept better, hung on the trees weeks longer than the Navela, were always popular and were very abundant bearers. He said he sold two weeks ago. Mediterranean spores of the vegetable world. They grow from spores, first forming a mycelium, which is a mass of small threads penetrating the sub-stance on which they are found. This mycelium, which is seldom seen on the surface, is the plant, the part appearing on the surface is the reproductive part. The com-moner fungi such as the mushroom and the various kinds of mould are familiar to all. No sooner does death take possession of any vegetable, than a host of fungi of various kinds are ready to work its decomposition. This is at once evident in the softar instruc-tures, which are seen reduced to humus by the combined action of putrescence and fungi. The hardest wood yields to the same agent. A stump of one of our largest trees when attacked by fungi becomes a mass of touchwood, which is nothing more than woody tissue traversed by mycelium. There are hundreds of fungi of the most varying form and size which more or less speedily accomplish the same end. But not only are there numerous species which grow upon vegetable matters already decomposed, but there are very many also which are the express enemies of living tissues. Species are even found in growing animals, causing a weakly and diseased condition in them and at last their death. And very many species are found growing upon living plants, the whole tribe of rusts and mildew being well-known examples. Let me call attention specially to the action of the genus Peronospora, one of the species of which I believe is the cause of the vine disease. It is one of the more minute fungi that attacks living plants and causes their decay and death. It is produced from two kinds of spores—the ordinary kind that germinate soon after their production if they find suitable conditions; if they do not bind suitable conditions they soon perish. But there is another kind of spore developed in mycelium called a resting spore. It has the power of remaining inactive for a long period, then when favorable conditions occur it germinates, grows into the original plant and produces again immense numbers of the ordinary spores. These spores falling on a moist leaf give out little shoots that penetrate the epidermis of the leaf, or in some instances enter the struc-ture by the stomata, and immediately develop a mycelium which pervades the tissue of the leaf, causing whatever it comes in contract with to decay, and putrify. Small branches come to the surface of the leaf bearing a great many spore cases, and then the spread of the plant is very rapid. One of the necessary conditions of the growth of these spores is that the leaf in which it falls must be moist. If the leaf is dry the spore will not grow, hence the influence of foggy weather in promoting their growth and of sunny clear weather in preventing it. And this also explains reason for powdering the leaves with sulphur or other powder. A powdered leaf presenting a dry surface for the spores to fall upon, and thus protects itself from their attack. The mycelium spreading through the tissue, then softer tissue or cellular becomes affected first, then the harder or vascular tissue, causing every part with which it comes in contact to decay. And as the leaves are the source of the vigor of the plant—the lunga—their decay impairs its life and it gradually dies. Whatever the mycelium touches begins to putrify, and this putrification gives rise to bacteria so that the presence of bacteria in diseased vines is rather the result of the disease than the cause of it. In a vineyard where the disease has begun, the deceased vines shed millions of spores all around ready to grow and cause disease in other vines. In a cure impossible then? Must all our vines perish? When epidemics come among a population, efforts are made to increase knowledge and comprehension of this fetal wall's nature.

He argued that this variety of oranges kept better, hung on the trees weeks longer than the Navels, were always popular and were very abundant beakers. He said he sold, two weeks ago, Mediterranean Swets from five acres for $2 25 a box, and the net profit was nearly one-third greater than for Navels at $3 50 a box. Mr. Shorb believes that the Mediterranean Sweet will always be the best selling oranges there in, and he quotes the fact that it has sold in Chicago and St. Louis for weeks at a better price than the far-famed Navel. Happy Healers. Wm. Timmona, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes: "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines combined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver troubles." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life.

In a vineyard where the disease has begun, the deceased vines shed millions of spores all around ready to grow and cause disease in other vines. Is a cure impossible then? Must all our vines perish? When epidemics come among a population, efforts are made to increase knowledge and so devise means for their prevention. Let every possessor of a vineyard become a close observer, so that knowledge may be increased. The diseased condition is not the natural condition. Healthy, strong plants should be able to resist the attacks of the fungus. Then improve the vines by careful cultivation, by attention to irrigation and fertilizing. A starved condition of the vines makes them more open to the attack of the fungi. And good may also be done by the use of some stimulant such as sulphate of potash or sulphate of amonia. Sulphate of copper is sometimes applied with the idea that it kills the spores, but perhaps it acts more beneficially in stimulating a healthy growth. All withered leaves and prunings should be carefully collected and burned, so as to destroy all the resting spores, and the soil should be turned well over up to the stems of the vines so as to bury any spores that may be lying around. To powder them with lime after they are pruned, and when they were wet with rain would be a means of cleaning them from the spores of fungi. The only remedy that can be applied to the vines now that they have begun to grow is spraying with a weak solution of sulphate of copper and lime. More attention perhaps has been given to the production of a large crop, then to the production of healthy vines. Let attention be directed to growing healthy vines and as a natural consequence a good crop will be the result.—D. Gregerson in Rural California. California Brandy. According to the Wine Trade Review of England, California brandy is rapidly gaining favor both in Europe and America. "In California," it says, "the over-production of wine suggests the desirability of commencing the distillation of brandy, and the work has been undertaken with true American warranties." Last year 608,000 gallons of grape brandy were manufactured in that State, and not less than 1,000,000 gallons will be distilled this season. We believe very good brandy is made in California, but his genius. He owes influence, we little capacity for that the Duke owed in 1805, describe bragging which,the impression that the great war m exclaimed," "It we expect to take sally bragging," "woman's fool wh none the less a t had the capacity follies of an Alexa a shy, melancholy rather than an easy say, dying." "Kin acted as hazel poleon when he capitulation and moderns who wished surrender." Nela in shame over his prayer of his shot.

One of the lax canal enterprises 'the Isthmus of Oceans came some time hundred years.' rinder; one of th Like the Spanish, it suffers from the deficit of want of age." The fiction has the following to say about the effect of internal revenue laws upon the brandy industry: "The United States internal revenue tax on spirits is levied in an annual manner, and, in order to escape its unfair insiderness, the whisky distillers often and out their products to Bermuda or Europe just before the tax falls due and shall them afterwards, or reimport them. It is proposed to follow a somewhat similar plan as regard to brandy. The scheme is to build a large warehouse at Honolulu, and shortly before the three years have expired when the 90 cents per gallon internal revenue must be paid, to ship the brandy to Honolulu under bond and let it remain there until it is wanted for the market. By this means, it is said, small brandy-makers could establish co-operative distilleries and could ship their brandy and store it at a very little expense, and avoid paying the tax until a purchaser was found. It is absurd that distillers of either whisky or brandy should be compelled to protect themselves by resorting to devices of this kind, and if the United States Government wishes to encourage the new industry established in California, it will endeavor to adopt a system under which the tax will be demanded until the brandy is finally needed for consumption." Nelson and Grant. The American reader of the new life of Nelson will be astonished to find in his career, though not in his character, points of remembrance to that of Grant. With the exception of the famous Admiral Blake of Cromwell's time, Nelson was about the only great English man who did not owe something of his early opportunity and later success to the power of family or court or official influence. The young naval officer started at least a midshipman. He had some lord to back him in the start. But Nelson started with a meager education, and had so little family influence that when he joined his first ship of war he was rated as "Captain's servant." In his disgust he left this war vessel and enlisted as a common sailor on a West Indianman. Returning from this voyage, he again joined his uncle's ship of war, and made a voyage as only coxswain. In 1774 he sailed for the East Indies as a foreword by Demetrius Polisciroides, in 300 B.C., and once more by Julius Caesar, in 50 B.C. It was actually begun by a Nero, who employed among other inhabitants, 6,000 Jews whom Vespasian had taken prisoner, and it is to be finished by Gen. Tewar, a Polish engineer, who was in the Italian service with Garibaldi, and who house to have it ready for use by 1892. He has carried on the work from the point at which the Nero left off, following the latter's lines and making one of a double row of thirty-two pits, some of them one hundred and thirty feet deep, which had remained unchanged for eightteen hundred years, except that they had become filled with debris. The excavation now reaches from sea to sea, and is in some places two hundred and twenty-five feet deep. The canal is to be over seventy-five feet wide at the top and two hundred and sixty feet in depth at the point where the inthusia is highest. A Misleading Interview. The New York Sun of the 3rd instant has a very misleading article on the vineyards of Southern California, which is apparently founded on an interview with Mr. Charles Stern, formerly of the firm of Stern & Rose. It might very well have been written last year and the year before, but it is absolutely inapplicable to the present year. We cannot help thinking that Mr. Stern has been grossly misrepresented. If he has not been, he would certainly modify his views now, in face of the facts. The Sun, in its geographical references, is greatly wide of the mark, to begin with. It speaks of Los Angeles as the center of the San Bernardino valley, while, as a matter of fact, Los Angeles has nothing to do with the San Bernardino valley, and it is the center of the Los Angeles valley, which, including the San Gabriel stretches inland some forty miles before it reaches the San Bernardino line, with a spread of country reaching for eighteen to twenty miles between Los Angeles and the sea. Says this somewhat confused journal: "The trouble prevailinl the San Bernardino valley. This is a fertile region running from the coast some sixty miles up toward the footbills of the mountains. Los Angeles The comcom and the similar to all, sensation of any composition, after instructing by humane influence and to the same largest trees a mass of more than there is most varying speedily not only are grow upon imposed, but are the exotic Species are causing them and many species plants, the being well attention Peronoschia I believe it is one attacks living and death.

Population,ledge and he starts without health, with our influence, without friends, and with so little capacity for making a good impression that the Duke of Wellington, who saw him in 1805, describes him as vain and silly braggart, which, by the way, was exactly the impression that General Wolfe made upon the great war minister, the elder Pitt, who exclaimed, "Is this the vain creature that we expect to take Quebec?" This "vain and silly braggart," Nelson, who was a false woman's fool when off his quarter-deck, was none the less a man of mighty genius. He had the capacity as well as the passionate follies of an Alexander. His picture shows a shy, melancholy face, that of a sentimental rather than an affectionate man. He could say, dying, "Kiss me, Hardy," and yet he acted as basely and cruelly as ever did Napoleon when he violated the terms of a capitulation and hung the Napoleon commodore, who was protected by the terms of surrender. Nelson's own officers were sunk in shame over his act, and he even refused the prayer of his victim that he might be shot. Because of his relation with Lady Hamilton, and his disloyal treatment of a dutiful and loving wife, honest old George: the Third hatred Nelson, and the English government treated with contempt. Nelson's dying request that Lady Hamilton and his illestimate daughter might be cared for. He was neither a human, a modest nor a moral man, but his genius and his services were so vast that even to-day his name is most magical in its capacity to bring the English blood. Even as the names of Frenchmen delight in Beranger's songs concerning the conqueror of Austerlitz and Marengo, so do English sailors love to sing. "Twins in Trafalgar bay." The braggart Frenchman lay." And well may England continue to remember Nelson, for the great saman's final successes and forever to Napoleon's intention of invading England. In his melodramatic nature Nelson was more like Napoleon than he was like Wellington, for Napoleon is said to have wrested Lenin, and to have kissed Durce in death. In his thirst for glory, as separated from duty, he was more like Napoleon than like Wellington, and in his magnificent agility he was more like Napoleon than Wellington, but on the quarreldeck, as the greatest moral strategist and tactician the world ever saw, Nelson was a true hero. Englishman, fit leader of the greatest sailors of England. One of the latest and most interesting canal enterprises now on foot is that across the Latham of Corinth, in Greece. It has been some time under way—over eightteen hundred years. It was engaged by Pemander, one of the seven wise men of Greece, nearly six hundred years before Christ, again. When I was there last summer," said Mr. Stern, "it was estimated that the Nadeau vineyard of 2,200 acres would yield 5,500 tons. The prospects are so bad now that they don't know whether they will try to raise grapes for the next season. Gen. Stoneeman promised from his vines 400 tons. That he was able to give us was 70 tons. A vineyard at Downey promised 600 tons. All we got was 150 tons. So it has been in many other cases that have come under my personal notice. Vineyards that four years ago gave from 600 to 800 tens of grapes have not given a bunch for two years. The only thing to do that I know of is to let matters move along just as they are. Perhaps it may pay to let the land he idle for a few years and then replant. It would not pay to replant now, judging from the experience of L. J. Rose, a grower in the San Gabriel district. He had 175 acres that were the pride of the district. There is not a vine left there. He planted a new vineyard and it is now half gone." Now, as a matter of fact, the man who would form his impression from the foregoing would be all wrong. Instead of depression in the districts named there is a high state of exhilaration at the splendid showing of the vines, and the writer from personal inspection of extensive regions of vineyard in the San Gabriel and Los Angeles valleys is able to add his personal testimony to the gratifying accounts which reach this office from all hands. The new Rose vineyard is in capital condition. There is in all quarters room for congratulation. In both the Rose vineyard and in that of the San Gabriel Valley Wine Company the outlook is quite twenty times as good as it was at this time last year. Another circumstance, as to which there is no hint in the Sun's article, is that the foreign vines have been very little affected at any time. The havoc has been principally on the old Mission vines. The indications are that we are entering upon an era of great prosperity in all that relates to our grape wine and brandy interests. —Los Angeles Herald. Buchlen's Arion Salve.
