Whatever happens in the progress or decadence of nations, the sites of battle-fields cannot be carried away. Theyonly undergo change. Cornfields, woods and towns take possession of the ground which was trodden down by the sorried ranks of the combatants, scarred by the missiles of artillery, and saturated by the blood of the wounded and dead. Most of the scenes of carnage in the United States, Canada and Mexico have already undergone this peaceful transformation. The sites can be described, but, their aspect of horror has vanished. Time and nature mercifully heal the wounds. Hardly a dozen square miles of Europe can be singled out over which armies have not marched or on which they have not been marshaled in camps or led to the fray. The records go back to the classic ages, over two thousand years, and every century teams with the annals of dreadful clash of arms in the field or under the walls of fortified cities. Except in the case Waterloo, no attempt has been made to wrest these sites from their lapses to natural uses. Waterloo has only a few mounds and monuments, and the rest is waving corn, pasture and wood, very picturesque, but quite conjectural as to phases of the great struggle which laid low the scourge of Europe. It is with difficulty today that the battlefields of the contending Roses or the parliamentary and cavalier forces can be traced. Much is guess work as to details. The field of Flodden dominates as peaceful a spot as may be seen in the North part of England, and that of Bannockburn, with its setting of hills and castle rock, owes more to Burns than natural suggestions of what was there arbitrated with frightful slaughter. So, says an entertaining writer in the San Francisco Call, with Gettyburg, Valley Forge and all other scenes of war. Nature will beautify and conceal the trenches and furrows, and those who fight battles over again will have to rely upon history and painstaking topographical research.

It always at its disposal, so that the finest music is at its command whenever he cares to listen to it. At White House receptions it is on hand with its most melodious strains. Every member of it must exist in the ordinary way, serve five years as a private at $13a month, after which he may be promoted through the grades of first and third class musician. A first-class musician gets $36 a month; a second-class $21 a month, and a third-class $17 a month. The leader draws $90 a month. There are thirty musicians and ten privates in the band. Every man of them gets $48 a year extra for playing in summer at the grounds of the Capitol and the executive mansion. At the first glance it seems astonishing that first-rate musicians should be willing to serve for such small pay. The fact is that, as a rule, the men insist for the sake of the prestige which they obtain from five years' service in the Marine Band. After serving out this term they have become attached to the organization and commonly remain with it. They enjoy many privileges which go far to make up for the small remuneration which they receive. They are permitted to earn money outside by concerts and otherwise, in this way making a great many dollars. Completely Uprooted. How many remedies there are which merely relieve without uprooting disease. The contrast with sterling medicines which such palliatives afford, not only enhances the dignity of the former, but serves to emphasize the folly of employing half-way measurable forms of food well attaining a height of two or three inches, it will be time for the first hoeing and either by borer cultivator in larger fields or by hand hoe in small beds, some of the earth may be tumbled into the trenches and cover up weeds and save hand weeding about the plants. Our Debt to Russia. That we are under tremendous obligations to the house of Romanoff is recognized by every American who knows the history of his country. Whatever may have been the motive which led Catherine II to join the so-called League of Neutrals, the result of the act was to complete the discouragement of the British ministers, to break the stubborn will of George III and to compel the acknowledgement of American independence. Whatever again, may have been the purpose controlling the mind of Alexander I when braving the anger of Napoleon, he refused to enforce the Berlin decrees against the American vessels thronging the Baltic ports, there is no doubt that he rescued from ruin our commerce. We accepted redemption at his hands; we proclaimed his protection, and it behooves us to remember it. The services of the house of Romanoff to the American republic culminated in the stand taken on our behalf by Alexander II at a crisis when our national existence was at stake, the French emperor having put forth all his influence at Westminster to persuade the British government to join him in intervening on the side of the southern confederacy. Then it was that the czar, who freed the Russian serfs, caused his embassads at Paris and London to announce that if France and England undertook to assure the destruction of the American union and to perpetuate the regime of slavery in the western hemisphere they would find Russian arrays against them. Nor was that friendly interposition of Alexander II confined to the harbor of New York, and a Russian fleet was dispatched to the bay of San Francisco. For us, for the American republic for the consolidation of our union, the czar made known his willingness to fight, and there is not the shadow of a doubt that his willingness averted a catastrophe. Growing Asparagus. As for making now beds a light deep soil is beat, and yet asparagus will grow almost anywhere; the ground should be thoroughly and deeply plowed and then furrows opened up at least six inches deep about three and one-half feet apart and in the bottom o these farrows plant good strong one or two year-old roots about fifteen inches apart placing the crowns of the plants so that they will be about two inches under the genera surface of the ground when it becomes roughly leveled off. For ease of cultivation it is better not to till up these furrows entirely at the time of planting, just lightly covering the crowns of the roots; after that sprout and begin to grow well, attaining a height of two or three inches, it will be time for the first hoeing and either by borer cultivator in larger fields or by hand hoe in small beds, some of the earth may be tumbled into the trenches and cover up weeds and save hand weeding about the plants.

Two historic sites of imperishable fame are to be purchased and preserved in commemoration of great events in the life of the nation. One is Valley Forge and the other Gettsburg. One is associated most critically with the Revolutionary War, and the other with the turning point in the War of the Rebellion. A million dollars has been made of these furrows plant good strong one or two year-old roots about fifteen inches apart placing the crowns of the plants so that they will be about two inches under the genera surface of the ground when it becomes roughly levelled off. For ease of cultivation it is better not to till up these furrows entirely at the time of planting, just lightly covering the crowns of the roots; after the sprout and begin to grow well, attaining a height of two or three inches, it will be time for the first hoeing and either by horiz cultivator in larger fields or by hand hoe in small beds, some of the earth may be tumbled into the trenches and cover up the weeds and save hand weeding about the plants. It these furrows are not entirely filled up at the first hoeing, so much the better, it will give an opportunity to repeat the operation when second hoeing becomes necessary. It is a good plan after planting to spread along these furrows some well rotted stable manure or some high-grade chemical fertilizer rich in nitrogenous matter. After the first year all fertilizers should be broadcasted and thoroughly worked in with hoe or cultivator; liberal feeding and thorough culture will bring abundant crops of asparagus. It is the most economical vegetable to grow in this family garden and is so profitable that often wonder why more is not planted on our land. Dr. Guene's Onion Syrup.

The Handling of an Appropriation The Los Angeles Times has secured a co-offan itemized account of the State Board Horticulture, certified to by its secretary, to the expenses of Albert Koebele on his cent trip to the Sandwich Islands and Australia in search of prodacious insects. shows expuses aggregating $4337.18 out an appropriation of $6000 made for the purposes by the Legislature of 1890 91. The fact that it cost in 1891 92 nearly times as much as a similar expedition undesired NEWS IN BRIEF Over two-thirds of the orange crop of Riverside has been shipped. The total number of carloads sent out is nearly 1,900. There will be probably 400 more carloads of the late varieties. The market the last week is decidedly improved. The Superior Court of Los Angeles county has rendered a decision to the effect that a nurseryman who sells trees that are not of the variety represented is responsible to the purchaser for damages. There ought to be something more than the mere money involved put upon the tricky nurseryman for a penalty, for the grower, in ascertaining at the end that he has been swindled, has wasted three or four years of valuable time. A firm of Baltimore grain dealers have exported to France 100 tons of American hay, said to be the first shipment of its kind to European markets. It was sent on an order and as a sample of American feed product to see if it will suit the French demand. France and the United Kingdom suffered a severe drought last season, and the hay crop was almost a total failure. It is said the present drought in England is without precedent since 1818. After waiting for the Burlington and Rock Island to arrange their private troubles the Atchison, late last Wednesday afternoon, announced its rate as $37.50 for the round trip between Denver and Chicago, and $17.50 round trip to Missouri River points, to be put into effect Thursday morning. Unless another string is attached to this notice it will have a tendency to knock the bottom out of the World's Fair rates from all over the west. The great question troubling the roads is, if they lower rates now on account of the World's Fair, how are they going to get them back again after the fair is over? The steamer Brisbane, unloading coal at San Francisco for the Southern Pacific Company, had a narrow escape from destruction last Saturday. When the bottom of one of the wings was reached a valise was uncovered containing fifteen pounds of dynamite and a cocked revolver. These implements of destruction were ingeniously arranged, so that when the ship should be tossed by waves, or the coal removed, the trigger taken by Mr. Koebele in 1888 is enough to pique the curiosity of the public and warrant an investigation. The former expedition occupied eleven months, we believe, and the latter fourteen, but the difference in time does not account for the difference in the bill. While the latter expedition was undoubtedly undertaken with a desire to achieve good results, the fact remains that it turned out a failure so far as the importation of bugs went, as our readers have already been advised. On top of this failure, the State Board of Horticulture applied to the last Legislature for an appropriation of $10,000 to be expended in another Australian bug chase. We are glad to state that this last demand was not honored. When the horticulturists of the southern counties presented a memorial, asking that the appropriation called for be placed in the hands of the United States Department of Entomology or the Agricultural Department of the State University for expenditure, it is said that members and attaches of the State Board of Horticulture were very angry, and declared that if they were not to have the disbursement of the money they would defeat the appropriation altogether. The appropriation was defeated. The Times has made something of an investigation of the expense bill of Prof. Koebele's last expedition, with such facilities as are at hand, and we have no hesitation in saying that the more light is thrown upon the matter the more suapicious it becomes. Nothing short of an official investigation would show that there has been actual crookedness in the handling of the funds; but we make out such a prima facie case as demands attention from an investigating committee of the next Legislature. It is the opinion of several gentlemen who are familiar with Australian prices (one of whom was a Government commissioner in Koebele's first expedition), that board bills, hack hire and other items are charged double in many instances and never at less than 75 per cent over what they should have been. Hotel bills average about a £1 a day, whereas it is stated that there are very few hotels in Australia that charge such a price. Railroad fare is charged up at around price, while it is a well known fact that on the Australian lines, which belong to the government, an taken by Mr. Koebele in 1888 is enough to pique the curiosity of the public and warrant an investigation.

It is the opinion of several gentlemen who are familiar with Australian prices (one of whom was a Government commissioner in Koebele's first expedition), that board bills, hack hire and other items are charged double in many instances and never at less than 75 per cent over what they should have been. Hotel bills average about a £1 a day, whereas it is stated that there are very few botols in Australia that charge such a price. Railroad fare is charged up at around price, while it is a well known fact that on the Australian lines, which belong to the government, an accredited representative of a foreign State is entitled to free transportation. Prof. Koebele knew this, for he traveled on passes during his former expedition. People conversant with the case are loath to charge that Koebele has been benefited pecuniarily by the swelling of his accounts, if they have swelled. The opinion is rather that some one in authority above him has been trafficking his necessities, and that he could not have secured the appointment of automobiles under the act of 1890 91 had he not previously agreed to the rendering of an account on the plan of "what the traffic would bear." Deputy Commissioner Merry says that Koebele's reputation was good while he was associated with him at the Melbourne fair of 1888. But that is not the matter under discussion. The question is how much of that $437.18 has been absorbed by inflated and fictious items? It looks as though $1200 to $1600 had been converted into "velvet" in the items of board and hack hire. There is a margin of $60 in the amount of steamfare between San Francisco and Melbourne, as books of Spreckles Bros. would show. Who got the velvet? This is a matter in which the whole State is interested, inasmuch as the whole State was taxed to supply the appropriation. But it was in behalf of the fruit interests that the money was appropriated, and the orchardists of this end of the State feel that they have been doubly aggrieved, and they are determined to probe the matter to the bottom.

"Be you the manager herer?" inquired a man of the ticket agent in the Spring street office of a pretty well known railroad system. The inquirer was evidently a native son of some county in the back tier. His rural simplicity was very striking. The frost was on his whiskers and his hair was in the shock—in fact a veritable crop of luxuriant alfalfa peeped out from under his passe hat, and his whole personality was redolent of the free air and shimmering fields far from the madding crowd. "I'm not manager; I sell tickets," said the agent.

When will the speed of the "ocean grayhound" reach its limit? is the question often asked in this age of Atlantic flyers. No sooner has one leviathan steamship been launched than there is talk of another being built to outdo her. The Canard Steamship Company in its new vessel, the Campania, which arrived in New York on its first trip from the other side a few days ago, has outstripped all its rivals. The dimensions of the Campania are enormous. Her length over all is 620 feet, her breadth 65 feet, and her estimated horse power is 30,000. She made over twenty-three knots an hour on her trial trip, which is equivalent to more than twenty-seven English miles. Shipping men booked on in wonder when this leviathan at the deep was successfully launched, and thought that ship-building had reached its acme of perfection. During the past week, however, rumors have been spreading abroad that the White Star Company has in contemplation a new vessel which will put into the shade the rival Campania, and even make the Great Eastern look small in comparison. The name of the new vessel will be the Gigantic, and she will not believe her name. The White Star Company is keeping the matter quiet and refuses to give definite par- plant good strong one or two wives of fifteen inches apart, owns of the plants so that they two inches under the general ground when it becomes thouoff.

"I'm not manager; I sell tickets," said the agent. Well, you're the feller an' I want to talk business with yeh. I'm not foolin', either. I've got a crowd uv fifteen an' we all want to go to the world's fair. Now what—— Oh, of course," broke in the agent affably, with views of fifteen big fat fares with only a $2.50 cut each; "it will cost you $97.50 per capita." Purkapity! what's that?" asked the man from way back. The agent explained with his customary nuavity, but bit the remains of his cigar in two in an effort to keep from smiling broadly. "What I want ter know," said the inquirer, "is what it will cost us to go in a box car, where we can put our stove, grub and bedlin', and live ekronomical but comfiable like. We hain't never been robbed and don't intend to be. We'll take a tent along with us an' camp out on the World's fair grounds an' do our own cookin' all through. Now I don't see why you can't take us through for the same price as you would a carload of oranges or hogs." The agent began to lose interest in the case and simply remarked that the chances of getting a place to camp out on the world's fair grounds were not promising. He referred the economical excursionist to the freight agent for further particulars, but at last accounts the box car reservation for the crowd of fifteen had not been made. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

She made over twenty-three knots an hour on her trial trip, which is equivalent to more than twenty-seven English miles.

During the past week, however, rumors have been spreading abroad that the White Star Company has in contemplation a new vessel which will put into the shade the rival Campania, and even make the Great Eastern look small in comparison. The name of the new vessel will be the Gigantic, and she will not belie her name. The White Star Company is keeping the matter very quiet and refuses to give definite particulars about its new vessel. It has leaked out that the Gigantic is intended to be the swiftest and largest steamship afloat. Her length will be 700 feet, her beam 68 feet and her engines will develop 45,000 horse-power. The new vessel will thus be longer than the Great Eastern, but her beam will be fourteen feet less. The horse-power of the Great Eastern was only 7500 while that of the Gigantic will be 45,000. This is an enormous difference, and is an example of the vast strides that have been made of late years in mechanical engineering. The Gigantic will, it is expected, make twenty-seven knots an hour, and will be able to make the run from Queenstown to New York in a little over four days. The best her owners hope the Campania to do is to cross the Atlantic in five days, so that if the Gigantic can do it in four days there will be a complete revolution in ship building.
