THAT the grape is distinctively an American plant is indicated by the fact that our indigenous wild species number nearly as many as occur in all the other sections of the world combined. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that this continent is responsible also for the chief enemies of the vine, both insect and fungous, as, for example, the grape phylloxera, which, in capacity for harm, taken the world over, outranks all other vine evils together, and such blighting fungous diseases as the two mildews and the black rot. The rapid growth of the vine industry in this country and the increasing cultivation of the less vigorous European grapes has impelled the Department of Agriculture to issue an interesting pamphlet on the principal insect enemies of the grape, from which we shall in future quote extensively. In this connection we may direct attention to Prof. Pierce's paper on diseases of the grape, published this morning on the first page. Upward of 200 different insects have already been listed as occurring on the vine in this country, and the records of the Department of Agriculture alone refer to over 100 different insects. Few of these, however, are very serious enemies, being either of rare occurrence or seldom numerous. They are the grape phylloxera, the grapevine fidia, both chiefly destructive to the roots; the cane-borer, destructive particularly to the young shoots; the leaf-hopper, the flea-beetle, rose-chafer with its allies, and leaf-folder, together with hawk moths and outworms, damaging foliage, and the grape-berry moth, the principal fruit pest. The extent of the loss that frequently results from these insects may be understood by reference to a few instances. The phylloxera when at its worst had destroyed in France some 2,500,000 acres of vineyards, representing an annual loss in wine products of the value of $150,000,000, and the French Government had expended up to 1895 in phylloxera work over $4,500,000 and remitted $3,000,000. LETTER FROM MANILA. Splendors of the Tropical Sunrise. Manila City of a Quarter of a Million Population—Advantages for the American Immigrant—The Island of Luzon Rich in Agricultural Possibilities and Minerals—Description of Hawaii. Where the Transport Bearing Troops to Unole Sam's New Possessions, Stopped En Route—An Interesting Letter from a Boy in Blue to His Friend In this City. Co. K., 14 INF., U. S. REG., MILITARY STATION NO. 1, MANILA PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. J. B. Rea, Anaheim, Cal.—Dear Sir: Your favor of Sept. 20 I received while I was in San Francisco. I thank you for the information and the pamphlet you sent me. I see that the man who gave me the information about the goats made a mistake or else I misunderstood him, but as I am not my own master for the present it does not matter. If I live to come back I will direct my inquiry in the direction you spoke of. As you perhaps see from the heading of this letter, I have shouldered the musket and with many others went to a foreign country to fight for the honor of the Republic; or in other words, as soon as the war broke out I enlisted. I left the mountains the latter part of May, and was sworn into the service the second day of June. I tried to get into some of the volunteer organizations of the State, but failed, because there were so many militiamen who wanted to come in. As to our voyage across the ocean, the Sandwich Islands, and our stay here, would perhaps be of some interest to you. I thought I would use my spare moments in writing this letter. In the morning, on July 14th, our battalion, the first battalion of the 14th Infantry, U. S. Reg., broke camp near the Presidio, San Francisco, and was marched down to the wharf, where the City of Pueblo, our transport lay ready to receive us. The Peru, our companion ship on the voyage, had on board the Fourth Cavalry, part of the Third Battery, U.S. heavy artillery, some of the Utah light artillery, some detached men from other organizations; in all about twelve hundred men. The work of getting the troops and baggage on board took several hours; and the scene on and around the boat snuggest, tiniest little specks of white cottages, villages and plantations, all hemmed in by the snow-fringed sea. "The Pall is not only an object of grandeur and beauty, but is also historical ground. It was here that Kamehameha, the Great, that Hawaiian Napoleon, who conquered all the islands and united them into one kingdom, achieved his most wonderful victory over King Oahu. Landing from his war canoes at Honolulu, aided by two sailors taken from American vessels, some artillery and small arms, he drove the army of King Oahu up Nunan Valley. As the valley gradually narrows in its ascent, the artillery of Jon Young, Kamehemeha's white general, made fearful havoc among the flying natives. The great precipices were finally reached, and the king wheeled his flying army about to make one more stand for his life, land and liberties. The contest was short and bloody. Kamehameha's trained warriors charged with spears and war clubs and drove the larger part of the king's army over that awful precipice, where they fell shattered and mangled on the cruel rocks below. "Oahu, with its flower-embowered city, its cloud-capped mountain peaks, its Palil and the gate to the fairy world beyond, is not more picturesque and beautiful than other portions of this paradise. The same soft-blue sky overspreads Maul, with its quaint, little bays, its villages and enormous plantations." "The trade winds sweep the island from east to west, and this little group of islands have a most excellent climate." "Its citizens never forget to tell you of the many good things they have there, and indeed the wealthiest classes can there eat, drink and dream under a southern sky the day long. Life is easy and the thought for the morrow does not come there as it does in a more inhospital clime." The city of Honolulu with its 32,000 inhabitants has not many large buildings to boast of, but that part of the city that belongs to the white people is neat and clean, and their buildings though not large are of modern architecture. Then we have Chinese and Japanese quarters with their busy life and filth. Lastly the native quarters where everybody seems to have a day seven days in the week. Work to no native in Hawaii is a necessity, but not a virtue. The Chinese have a monopoly of the local trade of the island. The carpenters, blacksmiths, wagon makers, barbers, tailors etc., are all Chinese. Hawaii would probably be a good place to invest money in, but that group of islands is far inferior to the Phillipines in everything but climate. The hospitality of the citizens of Honolulu toward the boys in blue will never be forgotten by the First Battalion of the 14th. The reception we got there was ahead of anything done for the young shoots; the leaf-hopper, the flea-beetle, rose-chafer with its allies, and leaf-folder, together with hawk moths and outworms, damaging foliage, and the grape-berry moth, the principal fruit pest. The extent of the loss that frequently results from these insects may be understood by reference to a few instances. The phylloxera when at its worst had destroyed in France some 2,500,000 acres of vineyards, representing an annual loss in wine products of the value of $150,000,000, and the French Government had expended up to 1895 in phylloxera work over $4,500,000 and remitted taxes to the amount of $3,000,000 more. The grape vine sidia, on the authority of an Ohio correspondent, in a single season in one vineyard killed 400 out of 500 strong 5-year-old vines. The prominent leaf defoliators, as the rose-chafer and flea-beetle, frequently destroy or vastly injure the crop over large districts, and the little leaf-hopper, though rarely preventing a partial crop, is so uniformly present and widely distributed as to probably levy a heavier tribute on the grape in this country than any other insect. The Plain Dealer's peculiar policy of imitating the bird that gained notoriety if not fame by fouling [or Fowlering], which is the same thing], its own nest, received fresh exemplification by its article of last week dealing with the affairs of the local water company. Anaheim, which has "the worst reputation of any town in Southern California," as stated some weeks ago by the newspaper referred to, has also the distinction of having the most rotten water company, according to the same authority. Both statements are untrue, of course. The first was made from ingrained malice, pure and simple; the latter is made for a purpose. It has been for years one of the pet schemes of Fowler, the owner of the Plain Dealer, to convert the water company into what he terms a private corporation; and it is characteristic of the man that he should now attempt to disguise his views and purposes by pretending to deplore and antagonize a scheme which does not exist, but which he would like to see carried out if he could become one of the manipulators. Witness the conclusion of the article referred to—and the conclusion which the schemer and his parasites would like to see reached: "In the hands of a private corporation they [the water works] would be a magnificent source of revenue. They can be made no less profitable to the water company if properly managed. That stands to reason. If it is impossible to change the management the sooner the little stockholders let go and take the steps necessary to turn the works over to a private corporation the better off they will be in dollars and cents." The management which has been attacked as foolish, corrupt and imbecile has also been guilty of the following things which the Plain Dealer fails to mention: It has perfected the distributing and delivery system so that the waste of water is almost entirely eliminated; it is now, at an expenditure of $1500, making a betterment that will save at least 150 inches of water in a here, would perhaps be of some interest to you. I thought I would use my spare moments in writing this letter. In the morning, on July 14th, our battalion, the first battalion of the 14th Infantry, U.S. Reg., broke camp near the Presidio, San Francisco, and was marched down to the wharf, where the City of Pueblo, our transport, lay ready to receive us. The Peru, our companion ship on the voyage, had on board the Fourth Cavalry, part of the Third Battery, U.S. heavy artillery, some of the Utah light artillery, some detached men from other organizations; in all about twelve hundred men. The work of getting the troops and baggage on board took several hours: and the scene on and around the boat before she cast loose from her moorings was similar to those a man can see on the docks in Liverpool, or in any water-front city on the continent, as an emigrant steamer is about to leave for a foreign shore. A large crowd had come down to see the boys off, and in the crowd were parents whose boy was for the first time to leave home of his childhood to go out in this strange world of ours—going on a mission which perhaps to them appeared dangerous enough to make the return uncertain. Brothers and sisters, who came to say good-bye to playmates were there, and occasionally a timid maiden would come up and politely ask. If you could tell her where Mr. So-and-So of our command could be found. Your duty performed, you could lean back against the railing of the ship and at leisure study the surging mass of people before you. But why dwell on it here? To those of us who are old enough to have seen some of this world before, it is not new, yet I must confess that it certainly did interest me. I saw in the short hours that we were at the wharf many noble impulses, and the sacred love of mothers toward their children manifested in more ways than one; and well worth to be remembered even by the most uninterested. After everything was ready the Pueblo cast lose from its moorings and went out to anchor in the bay overnight. At 2 o'clock next day the steam whistles and siren in the city told us that General Otis, our commander, was on peru, his flagship, and everything was gotten ready for the start. Half an hour later the signal came. Crafts of all descriptions were steaming back and forth between our transports crowded with people. First the Peru weighed anchor and got under steam, the Pueblo following in her wake, and then began the booming of cannon, the cheering of the people, the shrill noises of the many steam whistles and the waving of flags. The two transports were slowly steaming out through the Golden Gate on a voyage across the broad Pacific of nearly seven thousand miles. How pleasant did the hills and valleys of California appear to me that afternoon as I stood on the deck among a crowd of strangers to be taken to a foreign country! And even now—although I have gone nearly round the globe, I will say that to me there is no place like California, and my wish is that I may live long enough to come back again some day. Once outside the Golden Gate the big ships began to forge ahead under full steam, and as the sun went down a stiff breeze from the west caused more than one of us to seek the rallying. I was seasick a good deal of the way, as well as many others. The distance between San Francisco and Honolulu, which is 2080 miles, is covered in seven days and a half. The weather was pleasant enough, but being sea sick, the only thing of interest was land, and glad we were when land was sighted. The only island in the Hawaiian archipelago that we came here would perhaps be of some interest to you. I thought I would use my spare moments in writing this letter.

Such have been some of the results of the management of the men who have without pay or reward given their time and abilities to the affairs of the company. The fate which frequently overtakes earnest, successful and unselfish efforts is theirs, however; and the yelping of individuals surcharged with yellow envy and malice from a knowledge that their aefarious schemes have been uniformly blocked, while annoying is not unexpected. The majority of James C. Needham for Congress in this district is 125, Once outside the Golden Gate the big ships began to forge ahead under full steam, and as the sun went down a stiff breeze from the west caused more than one of us to seek the railing. I was seasick a good deal of the way, as well as many others. The distance between San Francisco and Honolulu, which is 2080 miles, is covered in seven days and a half. The weather was pleasant enough, but being sea sick, the only thing of interest was land, and glad we were when land was sighted. The only island in the Hawaiian archipelago that we came near to, was the island where the city of Honolulu is located. This island is the third in size and is about forty miles long and its width is. I suppose, from 7 to 15 miles across. The island is of volcanic origin, a chain of mountains running through its entire length, except back of the city, where this chain is cut in two, forming a good many square miles of low, level country, with a gentle slope to the sea, where some of the finest sugar plantations of the world are located. Going out Nunanu Avenue in Honolulu, I come, after leaving the city, into a pleasant little valley, the upper end of which is about five miles back of the city from the famous Pali Pass. Of this little valley and mountain pass, Mr. Musick says: "Passing around Punch Bowl is a broad, well-traveled road leading up to the Pali, a great mountain pass, one of the picturesque and interesting points on the Island of Oahu. The ascent is a gradual slope until the height of two or three thousand feet is reached. Here is a narrow pass, seemingly cut into the mountain range, through which the wind at times rushes with such a terrible fury as to almost sweep the tourist from his feet. On either side are precipitous cliffs, mounting up to the height of thousands of feet. On the left side is a deep, narrow, dark chasm, gradually widening on the side opposite Honolulu. The garoba, ohia and other trees common in Hawaii, have grown up in this dark gash in the earth, adding to the gloom, mystery and dread below. "From the Pali, or pass, one has a view of both sides of the island. It is a narrow gate-way in the mountain range, opening between a paradise and a fairy-land. "In the distance from the rear may be seen the Crystal Bay and shipping of Honolulu, while before, the land to which the traveler has not ventured, there break before the view rivers of delight, and fields of living green, with will say that to me there is no place like California, and my wish is, that I may live long enough to come back again some day.

The reception we got ahead of anything done for get twice as large returns from a given area tilled as the native; his product would be of a superior quality and would bring a better price in the market. The native would either have to adopt the American method or else find that as the produce of the American grower would be in demand at an advanced price in the market, so his produce would be in decline. Five acres bought and tilled by an American emigrant would induce his brother emigrant to buy 10 acres, the next 15, the next 20, and so on—gradually, yet honorably, the land would pass away from the natives, into the hands of the Americans. But the native would be given a fair show, he would get the chance to run the race with his white brother, in the evolution of mankind and the betterment of the race. If he were left behind—as I am almost sure fate has ordained—we are not to blame. He would by the law of a well-established principle be a servant to his new master, not by force, but by circumstances. He has the privilege to work side by side with his white brother, if he is intellectually and financially able. But as is already seen though apt in some things, they are as yet hardly a half-civilized people, and it is a question if some of them ever will be anything else. Thus it will be seen that the race problem would solve itself. The change would be gradual, and as no tyrannical measures would be taken everybody would be contented. Under the new conditions the natives would be happier than they have been in the last three hundred years. Then we have got the Chinese to deal with. As already seen, they have the monopoly of the business here in Manila and interior. But the Chinese nation, old as the hills, does not follow in the wake of progress. They are lacking taste and cleanliness, essential to success in dealing with white people. While they may succeed in retaining the Chinese element as customers, they would to a great extent lose the native trade, who think the American is the proper man to deal with. Anything American will be patronized in these days. The Chinese immigration would stop. American business men would come here by the hundreds, and the Manila of the future will indeed be a queen city of the tropics. The city and island a strength and honor to the American nation. The climate here is very good, being a tropical country or nearly so. Whenever the nights are clear a person sleeps with a light blanket over him. While the heat is felt more here than in California, owing to the moisture in the air, yet a person is by no means prevented moving around or working because of the heat. They say that from March to May it is hot here. But I believe that in the interior can be found any climate that a person would wish to live in, as the mountains in the interior rise to an altitude of 9,000 feet.

"A noveltyinnavali combat" Most of the produce brought into the city by the natives is brought in canoes and junks down the River Pasic. Small steamers and sailing vessels go as far up the river as the bridge that connects old and new Manila. There are, I am told, about 500 persons in the hospital from the eighth army corps, but I am sure that half of that number are there through their own neglect. They eat and drink anything that comes in their way. The horses on the island, which in size are between a Shetland and an Indian pony, are used for driving purposes only; while the water buffalo is the beast of burden. Next to the water buffalo, are the Chinese coolies, who for a few cents will carry a heavy load from one end of the city to another. It is a wonder to see how much labor these coolies can perform in a day. Well, I suppose it is about time that I should draw my long and tiresome letter to a close; but I suppose it is better for me to try and improve myself in English, than to play cards or run around in the saloons like a good many others and see how much beer and bino (bino is a native drink) that I could get away with. Enclosed you will find a photograph, which is supposed to be myself, but as my uniform did not fit me as it should it does not look very well, still perhaps it resembles me enough to bring to your mind the features of a stranger to whom you extended your hospitality, when harsh and unbending circumstances made it so welcome, and for which I ever will be grateful. Please give my regards to your family. Hoping you are well, I remain, yours respectfully, MATT B. SKEYEN. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E.

Morgan and his estimable wife gave a reception at the parsonage Tuesday evening. It was a most enjoyable affair. The program was informal, consisting of a report of the building of the parsonage and congratulations on all sides at the completion of so modern, cozy and pleasant a home. There was music and refreshments and an exchange of greetings long to be remembered. The same evening the Methodist ladies gave a supper at Foresters Hall, which was much enjoyed by all lovers of good New England dishes. Sunday night the large glass window in front of Warren's store was smashed up generally. No other damage done. The barber shop is vacated, leaving an open door for the right man. Nelson, the bicycle man, has a billiard table in the warehouse. The opening took place last Saturday night. NOTICE.

Mrs. Delta Andrews, of Auburn, Maine, returned to her new home at Pasadena last Wednesday. All of the trees in the center of Grand Avenue are down and grading will soon begin. Miss Cora Champlain returned to her home in Chicago today. The Very Best. Did you ever stop to consider that the Santa Fe route is the best line to take when going to Los Angeles? Its excellent service and frequent trains admit of passengers going and returning at almost any reasonable hour of the day, which is not the case over any other line. Special low commutation rates to Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Fullerton and other points. Also individual mileage tickets. It is also the best route to Chicago and other points East and South. For full particulars communicate with the agent at Santa Fe depot, Anaheim. Manners Outside the Navy. The ordinary seaman's respect for rank and station when not connected with his beloved vessel is decidedly meager. When the president of the United States visits one of our men-of-war, he is received at the gangway by the admiral, commanding officer and all of the officers of the ship, in full uniform, the crew at quarters for inspection, the marine guard drawn up with the band on the quarterdeck, the national flag is displayed at the main, the drummer gives four ruffles, the band plays the national air and a salute of 21 guns is fired. The same ceremony also takes place on his leaving. On one occasion the president visited one of the ships informally, dispensing with the salute and ceremony, when one of the men rather indignantly asked another who that lubber was on the quarterdeck that didn't "douse his peak" to the commodore. "Choke your luff, will you," was the reply, "that's the president of the United States." "Well, ain't he got manners enough to salute the quarterdeck, if he is!" "Manners! What does he know about manners? I don't suppose he was ever out of sight of land in his life." — "On a Man-of-war." In a Bad Condition. PASADENA, Cal., Nov. 10, 1898.

By order of the Board of Directors, W.H.BLENNERHASSETT, Secretary, n24-2t Notice to Irrigators When thus in contact, the superior of the British eighteen over the American twelve, though less than at assistance, was still great, but a far earlier disparity lay in the fabrics of two enemies. The Richard was a new old ship, rotten, never meant for real use. The Serapis was new, on first commission. The fight hitherto being engaged the port guns of the river, the starboard lower gunports were still closed, and from the ships nothing could not be opened. They therefore blown off, and the fight put on. A novelty in naval combats was presented to many witnesses, but few admirers," quaintly wrote Lieutenant Dale, who was in the midst of some scene below decks. "The rammers were run into the respective ships to disable the men to load"—that is, the vessels of the rammers of one ship ended the ports of the other as the guns were being loaded. "We became so fore and aft," reported Pearson, that the muzzles of our guns touched each other's sides," and even so, by the testimony of the lieutenant on the lower deck of the Serapis, her guns could be fully run out owing to the near-sides of the vessels.—Captain Mahan in Gibbera'a. An Anecdote of the Revolution. Senator Bate of Tennessee told the following anecdote of Colonel Tom Hunter: Sumter was a great big giant a fellow, with a voice like a fog man. It is said his "holler" could be heard for miles. On one occasion when he was off on a foray the Tories came and captured his wife, Molly, and slipped the plantation of everything. When "Old Tom" came home and found Molly gone, his rage knew no bounds. Together such forces as he would he put after the Tories. He overkicked them on the third day and hung out until midnight. Then he deploy his forces around the camp and told them to avail his orders to fire. He was held of Molly being shot in the melee. When he got everything ready he opened his big mouth and let out a yell that fairly made the earth tremble: "Lay down, Molly! Lay down, Molly!" And Molly, recognizing those stentorian nurses, fell prone on her face, and after last "Lay down, Molly!" came the command fire and charge. Molly was captured without hurt. PASADENA, Cal., Nov. 10, 1898.—Jeanne Cocayne, 257 Grand avenue, this city, says: I was broken out with pimples, but after taking several bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla my skin was cleared and my health became better than for years. A Wedding Announcement. This is how the editor of the Humboldt (Kan.) Herald recently announced his marriage: "Mr. F. A. McCarthy (that's us) and Miss Nannie Fisher (that's more of us) were united in marriage Wednesday, July 27, at 10 a.m. The ceremony was followed by a sumptuous repast, which we have only a faint recollection of. Some way events seemed to crowd on each other then, and God has given us the best earthly thing within his gift. The joy in a sweet wife is too great to be described—too sacred to be spoken of." Too Much Eating. Gluttony has its victims, hardly less numerous than other vices. To overeat is to overburden the digestive organs to such an extent that it will be impossible for them to perform their duties properly. Deleterious products are created, and health is finally destroyed. A prominent judge used to say such men dig their graves with their teeth—and it is so. On the other hand, there are those who eat too little. All extremes are evils that experience should govern. The Sure La Grippe Cure.
