Touched by a master hand the story grew Of those sweet children of the syrvan world, Of bird and beast and wonder matilda, Of faithful ever yeer, And thus the world never bade the twins alcu. But deams that in some far Edenic Isle Paul and Virginia still th'ir loves pursue, Where Nature's charm Arcadian hours beguile. In simple phrase, above the forms of art, Their voices echo from that peaceful land With grace that flies the eyes and moves the heart— A brave of fragrance from the mytic strand Where loving sill and never move to part. And children still they wander hand in hand. C. B. Carter in Chicago Inter Ocean. Naval Combatts of the Future. No one knows what will be the outcome of the next great collision of the navies, and it is possible that doubt will not be answered in the remaining years of the nineteenth century. Much has been written picturing the details of the great combat. In the way of romance Stookton has written his "Great Syndicate War," and hardly less fanciful but confined to the actual forces in the recent book by an English officer describing "How we Fought the Battle." The changes in the conditions are too numerous to recall in the preliminary survey. Since the days of Trafalgar steam has taken the place of sails. The guns are worked mechanically. A single shot will do the deadly work of a former broadside. The old picture representing the hand-to-hand conflict when ships were grappled, can never be painted again in the times to come, for the rapid fire guns would annihilate the bravest body of tars before it could tread a hostile deck. No wooden hulks will be seen floating half sunk in the sea and half seen in the murk of powder, with men clinging to the scattered spars and hatchways. Vessels of iron have a terrible alacrity in sinking, and the ram crushing into the sides of a ship has a merciless power. In fact, even the defensive features of the new warfare have elements of terror. The sums that have been spent on these untried navies are enormous. Of course their destructive possibilities are amazing. It is not a settled matter that a small boat, not much larger than a harbor tag, armed like the Vasuvius with dynamite guns, could annihilate the most formidable armored vessel afloat; but such a result is the aim of all experiments with high explosives. It is almost useless to speculate on the uses to which the pneumatic principle of firing may be put. Of course, it will not be continued to the special boats like the Vasuvius. It will, however, in all probability, be years before a high explosion is found that can be fired safely from an ordinary gun with the charge of powder commonly used while compressed.

Alexander Badlam of San Francisco off the following resolution: Resolved, That this congress request Federal Government to place the counall arid and timber lands located within States and Territories west of the Mississippi in hands of same, and when said L are sold a certain sum per acre to be paired securing title thereto; that such States Territories can at any time make payed receive title to such lands; that State or Territory containing arid L shall enact laws providing methods odeum by irrigation suitable and able cable to its own situation and surroundand such State or Territory shall reced and sell such land for a price under conditions and terms as it may deem best. Resolved, That this congress pass suit resolutions requesting the Government enact such laws as will insure a specregation of all arid and timber lands the United States Congress. A letter from Secretary Noble was asking whether if the reservoirs are un at heads of streams in one State or Terriry, they should be left entirely to control of that particular State or Terriry by the United States Government, and if transferred to it whether the Government should still keep control in order that States or Territories lower down on stream may not be utterly deprived water; that in whether the Government shall keep its hands, as it were, upon valve, to control it in case of necessity. Francis D. Newlands of Nevada argue that the field of individual effort in thereto of irrigation was now exhausted and thus ripe for action on this part of theremen and States. The United States should make grants in arid regions will view to developing school interests. Government should also enforce provation of forests. A resolution was in duced and defended, calling for an issuance bonds to be amounted to $150,000,000 for govration, the bonds to be redeemable in Tury notes issued against them. JuGoodwin, The Salt Lake Senator, War of Wyoming, W. H. Mills and John P. were among the chief orators. Irish not favor the ceding of lands to States. Territories by the national Government, thought that State Government shuassume the relation of treasurer and trustee a plan similar to that which obtain Illinois in days of Stephen A. Doug. The question of irrigation he consid- largely one of population. Congress shall be asked to desist arid lands to therese States and Territories in trust. The convention closed its session on one day after the promulgation of followresolutions as result of the deliberation of therese: Resolved, That this congress is in favor granting, in trust, upon such condition shall bear serve public interests, to states and Territories needful of irrigating all lands now a part of public domain with such States and Territories, excepting oral lands, for the purpose of developing rigation to render the lands now arid fear and capable of supporting a population.

Crusade Against Foreign Corporations. Attorney-General Hart has commenced suit in Los Angeles against the Pacific Railway Company of Chicago to prevent it from operating railroads and doing business in this State, upon the ground that foreign corporations organized in other States for the purpose of escaping the personal liability of stockholders imposed by the Constitution of this State are forbidden by the Constitution from doing business in this State. The Pacific Railway Company is the Chicago corporation which owns the cable system in Los Angeles. The effect of this suit will be to declare the transfer from the Los Angeles company to the Chicago void, and reinvest the California company with the Resolved, That the congress is in favor granting, in trust, upon such conditions small boat serve the public interests, to States and Territories needful of irrigation all lands now a part of public domain with such States and Territories, excepting oral lands, for the purpose of developing rigation to render the lands now arid free and capable of supporting a population. Upon request of the Kansas delegation, following was also adopted: Resolved, That it is justly due the settee of Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming, braska, Kansas and Oklahoma, who paid into the United States treasury mill of dollars in the purchase of these land and have expended other millions in less attempts to farm them without irrigation, that a portion of the funds so paid expended in securing to such lands the best of irrigation. As a committee to carry out the action the congress, and prepare a memorial to progress, the convention appointed C.Wright, of California; Platt Rogers, C.rado; A. D. Roote, Idaho; A. W. Stuart Kansas; J.C. Botkin, Montana; John bott, Nebraska; S. D.H. Menzer, Mexico; J.H. Hamilton, Oregon; J.Bailey, South Dakota; Walter Greath Texas; W.H.King, Utah; Frank Bowyoming; C.W.Irish, Nevada. The executive committee consists of I.Drumbo, Californiia; A.W.Hagar, Idaho W.Gregory, Kansas; W.A Clark,Mtana; James Stephenson, Nebraska; W.Poor New Mexico; J.K.Huntington,Mtougon; J.H.Balley,South Dakota; MeJones,Texas; Edward Meade,Nevada; A.Smythe，Utah. The place of the next meeting of the grass has not yet been determined, but it probably be in California. The convention does not appear to be thrown much light on the subject, so far reported. The resolution in favor of irrigation irrigable lands in trust to the States Territories does not especially commence self in view of past experience in the diaport of State lands. It would be easier for alutators to manipulate a State than the local Government,and regulations for sale of coveted lands and water rights are not to regulate in practice.The proposal to indemnify people in Montana,the Dakota Wyoming,Nebraska,kansas and Oklahoma who have bought Government lands and fathom them successfully without irrigation is cool,tay the leastThose setts bought voluntarilywith their eyes openand now they want the United States to them for their lack of judgment,sounds like Kansas political economy.

Lake Irrigation Convention. a had the largest representation, Utah, at the Salt Lake Irrigation twenty-seven delegates answering nomes, Colorado had twenty, Idaho assus six, Montana eight, Nebraska nine, Oregon six, Texas two, Wyoming twenty, Wash-okota Missouri, Minnesota, Ark-okaona and New Mexico were not ten. The California delegation ran by reason of experience in irrif-iation and ability. Numerous were introduced, among them M.Tucker of California: That it is the sense of this Con- petition the Congress of the states to without unnecessary delay allowing each State and Territory of the Missouri river all public on the borders of said States and to have and to hold such lands and benefit of the said States series as their respective Legisla-determine. Our Bidlam of San Francisco offered resolution: That this congress request the government to place the control of timber lands located within the Territories west of the Mississippi is of same, and when said lands certain sum per acre to be paid for sale thereto; that such States and can at any time make payment title to such lands; that such fierce bull and a 900-pound bear, which was fastened by a chain to a stake. The bull made a rush at braun, knocking him down. The bear quickly rallied, getting his teeth into the bull's throat, but was pried away by the attendants. The bull made another furious rush, striking the bear so hard that he broke the chain holding him. Bruin evidently had enough and rush for the fence, causing a panic among the spectators. During the excitement a drunken Mexican named Juan Alviso drew a pistol and commenced shooting into the crowd. The first shot hit Manuel Martinez in the leg. The officers grappled with him, overpowering him after he had fired another shot, which went through Andy Mackay's hat. Alviso was securely bound with ropes and put away for safe keeping. He says he intended only to kill the bear. The bear was recaptured after a lively chase before doing any damage. The same animals fought again last Sunday. The European Situation. The incident of the passage of the Dardanelles by Russian war-ships has raised the question whether it menaces the peace of Europe. It is quite certain that while Russia did not force passage that power, was ready to do it had it been necessary. All the maritime nations of Europe are debarred by treaties from passing the Dardanelles with war-ships without the express consent of Turkey. In the instance cited, as the consent of Turkey was forced, it is held to be no consent at all. Does it follow that the several treaties of 1841 and 1871 finally that of Berlin in 1878 are a nuility by this single infraction? There have been many intensions that the hour was drawing near when Russia would no longer respect these treaties. Two or three events occurring so near to the passage of the Russian war-ships are supposed to have unusual significance. One is that Russia has been pressing Turkey for the payment of the war indemnity. The latter has been unable to meet the demand. Russia would consent to forbearance, and would probably cancel the debt, if by Turkey's consent the barrier to her free passage into the Mediterranean could be broken down. of Europe and of Asia at the Dardanelles; distant enough to make retreat safe, near enough to make the keeping of connection with the base of supplies a matter of comparative case. There is much to justify belief that England has taken Sigri on the island, says the Record-Union, and intends to hold it as a naval station. Thus, it may be taken in retaliation for the act of Turkey in passing Russian ships through the Bosporus when loaded with supplies of war. It may have been taken by consent of its Turkish owner, the Sultan, who wishes to keep Turkey out of the coming war, and is therefore content that England may have near vantage ground as a conservator of peace. On the other hand, there is much to justify unbelief in the story; as, the absence abroad of Premier Salisbury, the fact that the seizure is in violation of the tripartite agreement, by which such occupation is specially made causes bellis. If now, England, supposed to be the power of all others depreciating war, has been the first to give cause for it, then indeed the liability of the torch being lighted in Europe and in Asia is imminent. At this writing it is impossible to tell from the dispatch just what the truth is. It strongly leans however toward the verity of the story of the seizure. Mitylene is the most considerable island of the archipelago. It has three fine harbors and is admirably adapted for naval uses. It lies within sixty miles of the Dardanelles and is about midway between Athens and Constantinople. It really, and by right, belongs to Greece. It is Grecian property by every equity. Turkey wrested it from its rightful owner, but has never been able to expel the Greeks by the introduction of her own people. No mosque or minaret is to be seen there, and only the Greek tongue is spoken. Its history relates to earliest times, and its romance runs abreast with the Homeric period. Its circumference is about 140 miles. Its surface is mountainous, undulating and plains lands in about equal parts. Clinging to its hillsides are pretty villages and groves of oak, cultivated for the acorns they yield, and which are shipped to Europe for tanning purposes. Its soil is very of the Missouri river all public in the borders of said states and to have and to hold such lands and benefit of the said States as their respective Legislature determine. No Badlam of San Francisco offered long resolution: That this congress request the government to place the control of timber lands located within the Territories west of the Mississippi is of same, and when said lands certain sum per acre be paid for thereto; that such States and can at any time make payment title to such lands; that such Territory containing arid lands laws providing methods of re-irrigation suitable and appliable to land for a price under such terms as it may deem best. That this congress pass suitable requesting the Government to laws as will insure a speedy all arid and timber lands by States Congress. From Secretary Noble was read either if the reservoirs are made of streams in one State or Territory should be left entirely to the particular State or Territory used States Government, and even to it whether the Government keep control in order that the Territories lower down on the river not be utterly deprived of it whether the Government its hands, as it wore, upon the control it in case of necessity. Newlands of Nevada argued that individual effort in the maturation of now exhausted and the colonization on the part of the Governed States. The United States grants in arid regions with a developing school interests. The should also enforce the prescriptions. A resolution was introferred, calling for an issue of an amount of $150,000,000 for irrigation to be redeemable in Treas-issued against them. Judge Salt Lake Senator, Warren W. H. Mills and John P. Irish took the chief orators. Irish did not code lands to States and but the State Government should relation of treasor and trustees on similar to that which obtained in the days of Stephen A. Douglas, son of irrigation he considered of population. Congress should deal arid lands to the respective Territories in trust. Sentiment closed its session on Fri- day promulgation of the following as the result of the deliberations enunciation: That the congress is in favor of trust, upon such conditions as serve the public interests, to the Territories needful of irrigation, new part of public domain within and Territories, excepting minor purpose of developing ir- renders the lands now arid fertile for supporting a population. The Kansas delegation, the also adopted: That it is justly due the settlers, the Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska and Oklahoma, who have the United States treasury millions in the purchase of these lands, expendied other millions in fruit- resolution: The passage of the Russian war-ships is supposed to have unusual significance. One is that Russia has been pressing Turkey for the payment of the war indemnity. The latter has been unable to meet the demand. Russia would consent to forbearance, and would probably cancel the debt, if by Turkey's consent the barrier to her free passage into the Mediterranean could be broken down. Another fact is that Turkey has asked England to withdraw from Egypt, and that France has been backing up the demand. There is very little prospect that England will vacate Egypt at present. Salisbury asked the Porte for an explanation of the apparent violation of all European war-ships through the Dardanelles. There is also the mitigating circumstance that most of these Russian ships had assumed the character of transports, and were on their way to Vladavistock with railroad material. The existence of Turkey in Europe has for many years depended upon the favor and support of England. The former has been kept in place as a strategic power, for the purpose of resisting the aggressions of Russia. After the Treaty of Berlin England made a secret treaty with Turkey, in which it was agreed that the latter should be defended against Russia's aggression. That treaty is still in force. The first nation to inquire as to the meaning of this passage of the Dardanelles was Great Britain. If the passage was really forced then the latter would have something to do under the provisions of the treaty. England long ago determined that Turkey should not be left as merely of Russia. This decision was made purely for strategic purposes. If Russia, in violation of treaties, could have the free passage of the Dardanelles, the next step might be to take possession of Constantinople. The floats of Russia and France would be massed in the Mediterranean, and the whole aspect of European affairs would be changed. The landing of a large body of British soldiers on the island of Mitylene, in the Egean sea, sixty miles from the mouth of the Dardanelles, although it is protested that the landing was only a priory party, furnishes reason to believe that the incident had more significance than would attach to a mere holiday excursion, and may constitute the next move in the complicated European situation. There is small doubt that in the present strained condition of affairs this step may prove the point of ignition for a war that will spread from Eastern Europe and probably involve an entire continent in a struggle such as has never been witnessed in the history of the world. The critical condition of affairs in Eastern Europe arises from the necessity felt by Russia for securing a free passage to the ocean. The most productive part of her territory is its outlaws through the Black sea, and it is there that her principal ports are situated. But only passage from the Black sea to the highways of the world is through the narrow channels of Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, both running through Turkish territory. After the defeat of Russia by England and France in the Crimean war the Treaty of Paris provided that the Black sea should be neutralized, that neither Russia nor Turkey should be permitted to build or maintain war-ships or armada upon its waters or coasts and that no ships of war should be allowed to enter the sea through the Dardanelles and He has announced his intention of never again returning to England, nor to his dearly loved native hills of Scotland, where while a lad he imbibed, as did Sir Walter Scott, the healthy spirit of romance which is the chief charm of his work.

For many years, too, he will find near at hand material sufficient to furnish him with plot and scene for novel, essay, poem or descriptive letter, and at each of these branches of literature he is past master. Nevertheless there must be sooner or later, a touch of homesickness, and in spite of his resolution his friends will hope to see him That the congress is in favor of trust, upon such conditions as serve the public interests, to the Territories need of irrigation, now a part of public domain within and Territories, excepting minor purposes of developing interior lands now arid fertile of supporting a population.

Between a Bull and a Bear of the celebration of Mexico's Tia Juana, across the Mexican miles below San Diego, on Wednesday was a fight between a sia for securing a free passage to the ocean. The most productive part of her territory has its outlets through the Black sea, and it is there that her principal ports are situated. But the only passage from the Black sea to the highways of the world is through the narrow channels of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, both running through Turkish territory. After the defeat of Russia by England and France in the Crimean war the Treaty of Paris provided that the Black sea should be neutralized, that neither Russia nor Turkey should be permitted to build or maintain war-ships or armada upon its waters or coasts and that no ships of war should be allowed to enter the sea through the Dardanelles and Bosphorus. When France had become involved in the war with Germany in 1870 Russia announced her intention of annulling those provisions of the treaty that prevented her from maintaining fleets and armada on the sea, and as no country was in a position to interfere she carried her point. There remained the prohibition of the passage of war-ships through the straits. When some few weeks ago, the Russian transport Moscow, carrying troops, attempted to pass the Dardanelles, she was stopped by the commander of one of the Turkish forts. The Russian Embassador insisted upon her immediate release and a guarantee that the vessels of the Russian volunteer fleet should be allowed infature to go in and out without detention, and after some discussion the Turks submitted. The Russians maintained that this was not a violation of the treaty, since the vessels of the volunteer fleet were not war ships but merchantmen. But the British and other opponents of Russia insisted that the treaty had practically been torn to pieces, since if armed ships of any kind were allowed to go through the straits it would be easy to pass war vessels through. The English Government has had the idea that if Russian fleets were allowed to escape from the Black sea the road to India would be threatened. The Austrians, too, are jealous of any Russian advance to the southward, for they think that any progress in that direction involves the acquisition of territory to make it secure, and any territory that might be taken would be some that Austria either holds now or wants to hold. Besides, Austria and Germany, too, would like to get England committed to the Triple Alliance, and so they have been pushing her forward and urging her to resent the Russian aggressions. Mitylene. Napoleon held that Constantinople was the key to the road to India. If England has seized Mitylene it has been done because she believes Napoleon spoke the truth, and that it is necessary for her to have an island naval station in the archipelago close to the forts He has announced his intention of never again returning to England, nor to his deeply loved native hills of Scotland, where while a lad he imbibed, as did Sir Walter Scott, the healthy spirit of romance which is the chief charm of his work.

Nevertheless there must be, sooner or later, a touch of honestickness, and in spite of his resolution his friends will hope to see him back again. He has, however, had recently sent out to him patent ice chests, an electric light plant whose cost he proposes to share with a few neighbors, and other expensive devices for comfort, which are evidences of an unalterable determination. Stevenson's handwriting is a horror to typewriters and compositors, yet he is a most particular man about his proofs, and grows very irate and sarcastic on the subject of typographical errors. His readers must have noticed that he is most accurate and systematic in his punctuation. In spite of the fact that it is often impossible for the unhappy composer to distinguish between a comma and a period, and a capital letter or a small letter on his MS., nothing annoys the author so much as a mistake of the kind. Stevenson is about 45 years old, and though in delicate health and always working with pain, is I hope, destined to do much more of his good work. "The Wrecker" and "The Pearl fisher" are Mr. Stevenson's latest efforts, both novels dealing with the south seas, but not yet finished. At the Marietta vineyard at Fresno, a few days ago, Dewitt Parkhurst and Gordon Griffin climbed to a chimney fifty-three feet high to secure some honey from a swarm of bees that had taken up quarters there. While fighting the bees Parkhurst lost his footing and fell down inside the chimney to the bottom. The duck was twenty-two inches by six feet inside. He was cut about the chin and face, but otherwise was unhurt. His escape from death was miraculous. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
