'Yes," said a traveler to the editor of
the Salt Lake Herald, "California is a
wdnderful country—wonderful— won-
derful! Tarantulas as big. as pullets'
eggs, black, hairy—legs all aroundthem
to crawl over you at night. Big trees
—enormous---tcentipedes, every leg a
sting, stinging while they crawl over
you—fifty legs—make 5,000 stings while
th,etr crawl over your lea. Enormous
crops of grain—when they get 'era—
once in two or three years. Wind in
San Francisco? Blows a gale in San
Francisco every sumnaer day from nine
in the morning until four in the after-
noon. Sand and desert? No. Grit,
gravel and. pebble -stones: and, as for
sand stone—pure sand—it drifts four
feat deep over pavements and. covers
lamp -post. Yoseraite ? G -rand,
a,nd. half a dollar toll every fortyl
rods. Rattlesnakes? Long ones in the
mountains, short ones on the plains—
short and. thick look like bologna sau-
sages; and lying by dozens about the
paddles. Country parched -and dry as
a brickbat in summee—no sod.—no
grass—and hot! Cook an egg out of
doors anywhere.
"Cool in San Francisco? Yes, too
cool half the time for comfort—and. for
every day, morning and night, fog,thick
damp, nasty and clammy. Scorpions
in the country—sting with their tails—
feels like a yard of real:tot knitting needle
run through you; they get into your
boots at night, and start you out of them
on the double quick in the morning.
Yet, delightful country; so much' that
is new to see, feel and. think about all
the time—especially feel. There's the
yellow -jacket, a cross between the wasp
and bumblebee—settles on the table
while you're eating—bores holes in the
beefsteak and carries off half an ounce
at a load, and ,stings like fury if inter-
rupted. Stocks—mining stooks? Yes,
people are frequently bitten by them
avvfully—half the cases are fatal. Such
a variety of the works of nature in Cal-
ifornia. Mosquitoes? Yes. -Going by
river to Stockton or Sacramento, clouds
and clouds of them. Verdure in the
cbuntry ? Yes, Poison oak—touch tit
and your head swells to the size -of a

Winter of '50—splendid type of man-

derful country—garden of the earth—
everybody calling for Eastern capital to

everybody ready to take your green-

live anywhere else ; good. place to send
men to when they die to punish them

Moved. by Bev. C. B. Chambers, se-
conded by hir. J. R. Dougall.
That while we remain unshaken in
our conviction of the desirability of
complete prohibition, yet believing that
the principle of empowering the ma-
jority of the ratepayers of a,mtuaicipal-
ity, to determine whether they shall
have licensed plaCes for the sale of in-
toxieeting- liquors or not is reasonable
and just. And we desire to record a
thorough conviction that it is the duty
of the Dominion Parliament to make
farther efficient provision for the sup-
pression of the traffic in intoxicating
drinks in all localities where a majority
of the ratepayers by their votes demand
it.
The, deputation appointed_ by the Do-
minion Prohibitory Alliance for that
purpose, waited upon Hon. Mr. Mac-
kenzie and presented. the resolutions to
him.
Hon. Mr. Mankenzie said he was much
obliged. to the cleputetion for their visit,
and for their expression of sympathy -in
reference to the proposed action con-
cerning the liquor traffic. At the same
time, it woulcl ne doubt occur to gentle-
men present that it would be exceed-
ingly inconvenient for himself, as a
member of the Government, to discuss
matters which are under consideration
by the Cebinet. In reference to a
measure of this kind they would ell
have observed ereference in the Speech,
and probably most of them had noticed
allusions ia the Speeches he had him-
self made duringthereeess, to the effect
that the Governthent were prepared to
so. They think it cannot be as hand -
sore° as it ought to be, and they would
rather have more material added, how-
ever much the design may be marred,
than pay less. 1 assure you this is a
fact. Consequently, when I meet ladies
who know that dressmaking is an art, 1.
take very great satisfaetion in having
them as patrons._
"'It isn't every woman who knows
how to wear a drees.1 When I have
done my best I try to make my client
do her best by seeing her walk and sit
down. To -walk with style is rare
enough, but when it comes to being able
to sit down in a dress properly—well,
there are not manyequal to that, I can
tell you. Then, .women think they '
ought to have s. number of dresses,howt
ever hideous, than wear one dressehow-
ever becoming. There never was a'
-greater 'mistake. If your frame is ap-
propriate stick to it. Don't be getting
out. of it and trying experiments. I
have just made a dress for Madame
Nilsson, in which she looks better than
I ever saw her before,eoad I have begged
her to wear that dress constantly in
Russia if she wants to produce a most
charming effect. As she is sensible I
think sheiwill take my advice, which,
ycaa perceive, is against nay interest; but
good gracious me! money isnot my only
object. Art is intended to beautify na-
ture, not to deform it.'"
Thomas Lord and his Sons.
do anything in their power to suppress
the evile of intemperance. • He need
hardly call the attention_ of the dele-
gates. to the peculiarities of _ the situs -
tion and the possible difficulties that
mey arise in conneetion therewith.
While the Government was expected to:
some extent: to lead public- opinion, it
must not be forgotten, also, that it is.
the duty of the Government to: give ef-
fect to public opinion when they con-
curred. And. public opinion reached
them in many ways, both with respect
to this and other matters. His per-
sona' opinion -always had, been—it had.
been on record in various ways for
thirty yeers—that the people had a
right to Iegielate in, a matter so inti-
=etch- affecting the health and:: welfare of
the whole people. But whatever legis-
lation was: adopted, it must be in ac-
cord with the public opinion of the
country., No:: Government could, hope
to check the evils of intemperance, arid
to cause a removal of the evils by which
it was surrounded. without being thor-
oughly supported by the people. He
represented that anything. the Govern-
ment could properly do in this direc-
tion they were prepared to do. At the-
-- sem* time it was right that those gent-
lemen who- 'waited upon him, and who
-
looked merely at one phase of the sub-
ject, should remember that the Gov-
. erument Were bound to regard. it from
all other aspects; and -while he might
be disposed to regard the question
through their spectacles, he was obliged.
through his own spectacles,. to leek on
all the other phases of the question. In
concluien, he assured them that noth-
ing would give him greater pleasure,
while he remained in power, than to as-
sist in reducing, if net annfhilating„ the
evils of intemperance.
This extraordinary -dispute between a
wealthy old man and his sons, now
bandied back and forth in New York
conrts, furnishes ground enough for a
smart `novelette, if not the ultinelete ob-
ject of a three -volume Reade romance
of fact. It has been managed most in-
geniously in respeat to the publico sen-
sation, and certainly the parties to it
may blame themselves for the various
satiric -impertinences and possibly slan-
derous gossip that have adorned the
key -hole reports of metropolitan papers.
There is no properreason why a respec-
table and wealthy old gentleman should
not marry a wife when he pleases; and
in the present lcase of Mr. Thomas Lord
but one conclusion can be reached.
These sons of his have evidently lived
upon the expectation of thennoney their
father has won by his long lifetime of
shrewd industry, and. have watched his
declining years with the tender attention
that coyotes pay to a stricken buffalo.
When they found him refreshing him-
self with a comely and. vigorous partner
they cursed their luck and called in a
judge and a writ de lunntico inquirendo.
If they had been able to catch the old
man at once, the public sentiment
would have been perhaps a trifle in their
favor, but the lapse of so many days
kas shed a clearer light upon their mo-
tives, and the cunning seclusion of the,
aged bridegroom in his honeymoon has,
given due opportnnity for the leaven to
work. Mr. Lord'scountercheck, recit-
ing the facts of his continuous control
of his large estate ; his long engagement
to his present wife; his deliberate con-
summation of that engagement, as of-
fering " the best means to assure cora-
" fort and happiness -to my declining
years ;" the murderous threats of one
of his sons; the curious circumstance
that his lawyer thought him sane en-
ough to_execute a will on the 30th of
December, and yet now believes him to
have been. insane on the 31st when he

Why Popes Change Their
Names.
It is a fact generally known that
monks and nuns ou assuming their
vows, and Popes on ascending the Pon-
tifical throne, usually change their
names. The reason of this change, in
the case of the Popes, is a superstitious
belief that unless this is dohe the new
pontiff will not live long. The custom
has prevailed since it was inaugurated
in 956 by Octavian Conti, who assumed
the name and title of John XII. Jul-
ius Medici would have made a breach
had he been permitted, but his friends
prevailed upon him to take the name of
Clement, he being the seventh Pope to
bear that name. Thirty-two years later
in 1755, Marcellus Servius was elected
and insisted upon retaining his own
name. As Marcelius II, therefore, he
ascended the throne on the 9th of April.
He was a young man and in robust
health, and yet he lived but twenty-one
days after his elevation. Since that
time no Popo has ventured to offend
against the tradition. It is a little sin -
„outer that while the name of John has
been a favourite one, no less than twen-
ty-one Popes having chosen it, none

The Paris Man -Dressmaker on
Dressmald-ng.
An English newspaper gives the fol-
lowing interesting particulars of Trth
the celebrated dressmaker :
"Worth is a tallish man, with a big,
clever head and, very prominent, fore-
head. His brown eyes are singularly
shrewd in expression, and their seizure
of detail is surprising—that is, for a
man. As a rule, men have no more eye

said to inherit an insene predisposition
from hie mother who died crazy.
Russian Cheese.
An article of diet of almost universal
consumption antong the poorer classes
in Russia is the, variety of home-made
cheese knoWn as " Tworog," of which
more than seven_ million pounds are
sold annually in St. Petersb-urg alone.
Its mode of preparation is very simple.
Sour skim -milk ie placed_ over night in
a warm oven, and poured the next day
upon a sieve, where it is allowecl to re-
main till all the'wheylhas run off. The
curd is then packed tightly in a wooden
-vessel and catered. with- a lid made to
fit exactly within it. On this heavy
weights are placed. so as to keep up a
constant pressure on the mass of curd.;
and the space between the lid. and the
top of the vessel is filled with cold
-water, which is frequently renewed.
Tworog cheese is, in fact, nothing more
than hard-pressed milk curd. in the
northwestern and southern govern-
ments of the :empire it is often made
from sheep's milk, and in ;Bessarabia a
superior quality made from .the whole
milk is prepared, which possesses far
better keeping properties than the or-
dinary sort, and which is exported in
considerable quantities to Wallachia,
Moldavia, and even to Austria.

affecting incident is told by G.
W. Snealley inthe New York Tribune.
It occurred during a recent in-undation
in the South of France. A house con-
taining a father and. mother and two,
children, had. been swept away by the.
flood, and. was about to go to pieces.
The father clung to the house, but the
mother, regardless of her own life. clasp-
ed. her two children to her bosom, and
when they were seized by the rushing
waters, she managed to.grasp the
branches of a sniall tree near by. The
tree being too slender tp support them
all, the mother, by alioost superhuman
exertion, fastened the children to the
limbs, and with a prayer on her lips
, sank back into the hungry flood.
