RINKER. One bright day in the early part of vacation some half dozen young people, myself one of the number, started from Anaheim for our beautiful Santiago canyon. We had arrived at the canyon quite early and after exploring some time, we had a regular picnic lunch. After this most important factor of our picnic most of us scattered in different directions. I strolled aimlessly about for some time, thinking about our past Commencement exercises, and that it really only prepared us to start on our life of study and thought. I came to a large oak by which a little stream was softly murmuring as it rippled over its stony bed, and scattered about were many small bushes. I sat down leaning against the oak, thinking what I should do for the future. I concluded it would be interesting and profitable to study nature. While I was thus meditating, my thoughts seemed to build a bridge from dreamland that in my imagination, at least, I might be transported to distant and beautiful lands. I soon heard a rustling in the branches overhead. On looking up, what at first appeared only to be a mass of leaves, soon assumed the form of a fairy with very dark hair and eyes dressed in Indian costume. She drew out in Indian costume. THE MORA CLAIM. A special from Washington indicates that the government has demanded that Spain must immediately pay the Mora claim of $1,500,000 or severe measures will be taken for collection. Antonio Maximo Mora was an American citizen owning valuable sugar property in Cuba. During an insurrection in that island it was seized by the Spanish government, and in the absence of its owner, was condemned and the property confiscated. Before Spain admitted its error in thus treating an American citizen and his property, there had been collected from the estate nearly $2,500,000. When it was seen that the United States government was determined there should be a settlement, the Spanish government offered a compromise. In place of the absolute indebtedness to Mora, which was admitted by the offer of compromise, Spain agreed to pay the sum of $1,500,000 with interest on such part of its idemnity award as should be deferred. Minister Taylor at Madrid has been informed by telegraph of the insistence by the United States upon prompt payment of this idemnity and has been directed to press for settlement and immediate payment regardless of the action by the proposed claims convention. This dispatch went to Minister Taylor several days ago, and the sub-letter is now in his hands. The expectation is that there will be a prompt and satisfactory settlement and payment at once. Should the Spanish neglect to properly impress upon the Cortes the importance of granting the necessary funds, or should the Cortes refuse to allow an appropriation, the United States government in self-respect would be constrained to try other means to secure payment. It may become necessary to occupy Havana and to retain control of the custom houses there until an amount equal to the Mora idemnity has been collected. This could be done without offense to international law, if the United States were not opposed by a superior fleet and military force at Havana. If it should be objected to by Spain that this is an awkward time for an embarrassed government to receive and entertain such a demand as that just sent to Madrid, it is plain that Spain has provided its own embarrassment by presuming upon cur good nature and toleration, rather than impertinent neglect and arrogance. If Spain cared as much for its own self-respect and our good opinion as it does for the possession of Cuba it would have said the Mora claim. ODDS AND ENDS ON: Lieut. Gov. Millard has gone home his old home in Michigan. He proved in health though far from requiring 35,000 sugar sacks, to shipping this season's sugar output. Southern Pacific surveyors work on the line to be built between Pomora and Pomora, setting grade stakes where they stopped a ship and working south. The contract been let. James Atkinson, an American and Francisco Hernandez, a Mexican man, fought a duel near Codat Atkinson was killed. The two wounded to the same senorita and decided their love contest with pistols. William H. Matthews, emplaced Humboldt jetties, now being contended for Government, had his right off by a two-ton pile driver hammer it May 7th, and has commenced the contractor for $15,000 damage. Florence Runyon Stanford, with B. Stanford, a nephew of the late Stanford, applied for a divorce one of desertion. She asks for a divisible property and generous alimony is a well-known San Francisco chant, and was married twelve years. The quarterly disbursement took place at the Soldiers' Santa Monica on Friday, when was paid out to the 820 old soldiers to receive the same.

I came to a large oak by which a little stream was softly murmuring as it rippled over its stony bed, and scattered about were many small bushes. I sat down leaning against the oak, thinking what I should do for the future. I concluded it would be interesting and profitable to study nature. While I was thus meditating, my thoughts seemed to build a bridge from dreamland that in my imagination, at least, I might be transported to distant and beautiful lands. I soon heard a rustling in the branches overhead. On looking up, what at first appeared only to be a mass of leaves, soon assumed the form of a fairy with very dark hair and eyes, dressed in Indian costume. She asked me if I would like to take a trip with her to see some places that were really Old Mother Earth's and had not been changed by man. I gladly accepted the invitation, and we started at once in a kind of air ship which looked like a bird of paradise. We took an eastward course, with a slight upward inclination, and soon were flying over the tops of mountains, interspersed with numerous beautiful valleys. Every where and in every thing could be seen the hand and busy brain of man. On the farm, in the work shops, in the mines, until all nature was compelled to contribute her choice and best fruits for his comforts and riches. Those long black lines were the tracks over which the iron horse unceasingly carried the products of other lands. But while we have been commenting, the mountains have disappeared and in their places come the orange groves, the magnolias, the dates and palms, showing us that we are again within the domain of the Tropics. Before we scarcely have time to realize the change or catch more than a passing glimpse of such beauty, my conductress waved her wand, and the effect was magical. In the place of the laxurious homes, well kept farms, and beautiful cities, were dense forests echoing with the myriad life of semi tropical animals. Abi Indeed this was rightly named Florida, or the land of flowers. We were about to land or rather to alight, for our movement was like flying, when I suddenly protested, for the red man, indigenous though he may have been, could be seen at his different vocations, hunting, fishing, or practicing the art of war. This was not what I wanted. We sailed across the waters to an island not very far from the coast. Here the Indians were just gathering on the beach, and Columbus had just arrived. I asked to be conducted to some portion of the glots where I could see something it came from the divine hand of the Creator, and that man had not disturbed. But she told me that man had not changed things here; that these were only the children of nature. I argued with her and she then took me to Mexico, where the loveliest banana trees and other tropical plants grew, where the Aztecs were living, and I explained to her that although these Indians were only the children of nature, they had changed nature. As she saw that this was not for what I was searching, she waved her wand over the waters and her cousin, a mermaid, appeared, and she told her to take me to the bottom of the sea. My fair guide said this in such an imperious way that I was half afraid they would harm me. They seeing my fright laughed at me and assured me that there would be no harm done me. Thus reassured I stepped into another peculiar looking boat which had nearly the form of a fish. We started at once and took a long trip through the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The surface of the bottom of the sea is like the surface of the continents, with hills and mountains, some so high that they form islands, and valleys, some deeper than others; and some of them so deep and narrow, they look if they would form river basins. After we had gone some distance I noticed the high Himalaya mountains, and then we went down one of the valleys to a depth of five thousand feet. While we were going through the Pacific one place I particularly noticed, on account of its coral lads, which feeblely containment in self-respect would be constrained to try other means to secure payment. It may become necessary to occupy Havana and to retain control of the custom houses there until an amount equal to the Mora idemity has been collected. This could be done without offense to international law, if the United States were not opposed by a superior fleet and military force at Havana. If it should be objected to by Spain that this is an awkward time for an embarrassed government to receive and entertain such a demand as that just sent to Madrid, it's plain that Spain has provided its own embarrassment by presuming upon our good nature and toleration, rather than importment neglect and arrogance. If Spain cared as much for its own self-respect and our good opinion as it does for the possession of Cuba it would have paid the Mora indemnity years ago. Leaving it to be settled as it must now be, it will be difficult to avoid the conclusion that the payment of the award is also the purchase of our abstention from practical intervention in behalf of the Cuban insurgents. UNCLE SAM AT KIEL. The German and Austrian newspapers highly commend the appearance of the United States war vessels and crowds at the celebration of the opening of the Baltic canal. They praise the ease of motion and the exactness of their manoeuvres, and accord them the place in this respect. They style the New York the finest vessel of her kind at Kiel. The American warships also aroused more curiosity than all others, and they were visited by thousands of people. The officers of the United States squadron showed good nature in welcoming every one and trying to talk German. The German visitors were considerably puzzled by the fact that the Marblehead and others of the American squadron had Japanese stewards and negroes among them. In this section the critical comparison of the various warships at Kiel made by an English naval expert is interesting. Omitting the British fleet in order to avoid a semblance of partiality, he expresses the opinion, after taking careful notice, that in respect to value and efficiency, the various crews might be placed in the following order: First, the Germans; second, the French; third, the Americans; fourth, the Austrians; fifth, the Russians; sixth, the Italians; seventh, the Swedes; eighth, Dutch; ninth, Danes; tenth, Roumanians; eleventh, Portuguese; twelfth, Spanish. The French squadron, containing the flower of the French navy made an excellent and impressive showing. The men were neat and smart and the boats' crews excited general admiration. But the ships, especially the hideous ironclad Hoche, flagship of the French squadron, were unfavorably criticized. All of the French vessels carry so much top humper that should latter be shot away during an action it would fall and disable the guns beneath. A German officer, commenting on the French squadron, said that both the French ships and the French people were a trifle extravagant and exaggerated. The Russian ships have same defect of too much top humper, although in a lesser degree than the French ships, while the personnel of the Russian vessels was pronounced to be far inferior to that of the French. As to the Italian squadron, the ships were pronounced to be good and their officers efficient. The boats were well kept and the men looked clean and well-tressed. Yet it was added that the Italian ships inspired no confidence as fighting machines, the prevailing opinion among the naval men being that they would prefer to go without the active help of the Italian fleet in time of crisis than with it. ORIGIN OF WARS. The action of the French at Toulon in ordering the flags of the city to be lowered to half mast on the occasion of the attendance of French warships at Kiel celebration has directed attention to the fact that great membership to be 1,656 off members absent from farbongs leaving 12 quarters.

We started at once and took a long trip through the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The surface of the bottom of the sea is like the surface of the continents, with hills and mountains, some so high that they form islands, and valleys, some deeper than others; and some of them so deep and narrow, they look if they would form river basins. After we had gone some distance I noticed the high Himalaya mountains, and then we went down one of the valleys to a depth of five thousand feet. While we were going through the Pacific one place I particularly noticed, on account of its coral lids, which frequently contain as much as twenty-five percent of carbonate of lime, consisting of fragments of coral, calcareous e'gea, molluscs, and remains of other lime secreting organisms. There is a large amount of some kind of substance in the deposit which gives it a sticky and chalky character. The particles are of all sizes, according to the distances from the reefs, the mean diameter being one to two millimeters, but occasionally there are large blocks of coral and large calcareous concretions; the particles are white and red. The rest consists usually of a small amount of argillaceous matter with a few fragments of volcanic minerals; but off barrier and fringing reefs facing continents there are great variety of rocks and minerals. Beyond a depth of one thousand fathoms coral islands, the remains of the reefs, begin to diminish and the deposit becomes more argillaceous, of a reddish or rose color, and gradually passes into a red clay. Coral sands contain much less amorphous matter than the coral beds, but in other respects they are similar, the sanda being found in shallower water and nearer the coral islands than the beds. We went to some of the coral islands. One group we visited was the Gilbert Archipelago, which is cut by the equator. It contains sixteen groups of small coral islands, low and barren. We found different kinds of coral on different islands. At the base of these islands or mountains there were a great many fragments of pink and white coral. The "reef building" corals are essentially shallow water forms, flourishing between extreme low water mark and depths of from twenty to twenty-five fathoms. By their continued growth and aggregation they give rise to the great banks of coral which are known as coral reefs. The fringing reefs are shallow water reefs, found near the neighborhood of land, either surrounding islands or skirting the shores of continents. These shore reefs have no channel of any great depth of water intervening between them and the land; and the surroundings on their seaward margin indicate that they repose upon a gently sloping surface. Barrier reefs, like the preceding, either surround islands or are found near continents. They are distinguished from fringing reefs by being placed farther from the land, and there would harm me. They seeing my fright laughed at me and assured me that there would be no harm done me. Thus reassured I stepped into another peculiar looking boat which had nearly the form of a fish.

The action of the French at Toulon in ordering the flags of the city to be lowered to half mast on the occasion of the attendance of French warships at the Kiel celebration, has directed attention to that great wars have had their origin in mere trifles. The war between France and Germany, which he lowered in his origin in mere trifles, was brought about by a remark made by the Emporer of Wilhelm to the French Ambassador at Ems, at a moment when it was believed that a satisfactory settlement all differences between two nations had been arrived at. Popular tradition attributes this last Turko-Russian war to the blow-of a Balkan blacksmith's hammer upon the head of a Turkish tax collector. The famous War Of Succession in the eighteenth century, which retarded the development civilization not only by Spain but also by a hundred years, resulted from a quarrel at the Court_of Versailles about a glass_of water. The most terrible and sanguinary war in India an annual China is known bythe name_of_the_Teapot_War,and was caused bythe smashing_of_a valuable teapot belonging toa memberofthe_reigning family while travelling inthe northwestern provinces.Nearlya million lives were sacrificed in this conflict.

The child has been given in charge of its grandparents. The reason that the Wanamaker-Warburton marriage in the sleepy town of Philadelphia was kept so quiet is that John Wanamaker sent notices to all the papers that the names of guests and details of the wedding must be kept out of their columns under penalty of withdrawal of the large Wanamaker advertisements.

A few aluminum cooking utensils comprise the camp outfit. During their trip they have been detained several times for trailing robes. The marriage of Miss Shepard, grand-daughter of late W.H.

Patrons of Royal Baking Powder Are advised to write their orders upon their grocer, specifying the fact that Royal Baking Powder is wanted, and no other. Surreptitious efforts are being made by the manufacturers of inferior brands of baking powder to induce clerks and carriers to substitute their goods where consumers are using and desire the Royal. There is no other compound or mixture that can take the place of Royal Baking Powder, or that will make cake, biscuit and bread so light, sweet, palatable and wholesome. Examine the label, and if another brand has been sent you instead of the ROYAL, send it back. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK.
