T. N. Lofton, of Spraguo river, is in

The Chinese of Lakcview have dur

a strung bow across the top which, in

at the same time gives the kite the
appearance of a lieetle with a long at

Mr. Hall of Santa Barbara, Cal ,
has a large tract of ground entirely de
voted to the culture of tuberoses vio

familiar Provence or cabbage rose. He
has completed arrangements for distil
ing and will supply the market with
perfumery. A writer in the Rural
Press says: "Two weeks ago the tube
roses were still in perfection a field of
10,000' Surely the breezes off the
coast should be 'spicy' with the breath
of these flower angels. Too sweet, too
overpowering, the scent of a single
tuberose in a closed room, but mingled
with the salt sea air it might be a de
light. Who ever smelled too long the
breath of violets? There are banks
and banks of them, a purple flush of
sweetness on the bosom of the wintry
earth."
A sensible proposal comes from an
Ohio paper to abolish the a. M. and r.
M. fooliFhness and count the-hours from
1 to 24; thus calling 1 o'clock r. m. 13
o'clock. For instance the teacher will
say "school is dismissed! You will be
here at 14 o'clock precisely," i. e. two
p. m., the preacher will announce that
"services will bo held in this church,
beginning at 19 o'clock this evening,"
and the judge will say "prisoner! You
will be taken to the place of execution
on Friday, March 4 th between the
hour of 10 and 16, then and there dp
hung by the neck until you are dead."

The Republican, which is always
ready to print the woes and joys of
mankind, and is recognized as their
organ, has just received a very remark
able letter on the subject of the census,
from a valued contributor iu Illinois.
He writes as follows:
"Monticello, Piatt County, 111.,
Dec 29, 1SS0. Editor National Re
publican Dear Sir: Excuse mo for
presenting to you a picture of my five
babies, born September 18, 1880. I
am anxious to learn whether there is
any other such case on record or not.
From all authority I can gather, there
is no other man can show a picture of
five; and if I am tho only man that
can do so, I think I am entitle- too
premium. I am a wounded soldier of
tho late war. Yours respectfully,
"Michael Hazzard."
P. S. Their weight, when born,
averaged from three to five pounds;
total, nineteen and one-half pounds.
On the hack of the picture, which
we cannot reproduce, is the following:
"Born Sept. 18, 18S0, of Mrs.
Aseneth Salitia Hazzanl, wife of
-Michael Hazzard.
"The wife was born a Little York,
Washington County, Ind., May 2,
1844: Michael Hazzard was born at
Vienha, Sco'.t County, Ind., Dec. 7,
1841; married Oct. I, 1863.
"Michapl Hazzard enlisted in Com
pany C. Thirty-eighth Regiment Indi
ana Volunteers, Aug. 26, 1861, and
was shot through the right shoulder at
Perryville, Ky., Oct. 8, 1862. Dis
charged Dec. 31, 1862, and moved to
Monticello, Piatt County, in 1S66.
Both are Americans."
While Mr. Hazzanl may be justly
entitled to a premium, the facts of his
tory show that he lags behind in th
race.
The prolific powers of some individ
uals among mankind are yery extra
ordinary. Instances have been found
where children, to the number of six,
seven, eight, nine, nnd sometimes six
teen have been brought forth at one
birth. Tlie wife of Emauurl Gago, a
laborer n-ar Valladolid, was delivered,
the 14th of June, 1700, of five girls.
The celebrated Tarsin was brought to
bed in the seventh mouth, at Argonte
ful, near Paris, 17th of July, 1779,
of three boys, each fourteen nnd a half
inches long, and of a girl twenty-three
inches. They were baptized, but did
not live twenty-four hours. In June,
1799, one Maria Ruiz, of Lucena, in
Andalusia, was successively delivered
of sixteen boys, without any girls.
Seven of them were alive on the 16th
of August following.
In 1535 a Muscovite! peasant named
James KyrlolF and his wife wero pre
sented to -tho Empress of Russia.
This prasaut had been twice married,
and was then 70 years of age. His
first wife was brouglrt to bed twenty
one time-, namely, four times of four
children each time, seven times of
three, and ten times of two, making in
all (ifty-seven children, who were then
alive. His second wife, who accom
panied him, had been delivered soyen
times, once of three children, and six
times of twins. Thus he had seventy
two children by his two marriages.
A great many newspapers, especi
ally on this coast, are publishing the
law in regard to stopping papers be
fore paying up arrearages. Tho fol
lowing extract from the autobiography
of a retired country editor is interest
ing in this connection: "No publisher
cr should dun his delinquent subscrib
ers through the columns of his paper.
Write to them personally, call upon
them, send the constable around with
tho bill, and make their lives misera
ble. When all these mthods hae
failed, a shotgun has sometimes been
known to prove effectual. But by all
means avoid boring your paid-up
readers by filling your columns with
duns to delinquents. Elko Post.
Our delinquent patrons aro notified
that, acting on the foregoing valuable
hint, re have procured a shotgun and
will soon go a-gunning. So be warned
in season.
A London newspaper has an article
about "Native feeling in India."
What the nati"o was feeling for is not

In tho Yreka Juarnl of a late date
we find some interrsting experience re
lated by some Yreka pioneers- at
re union. Dr. Hearn was one of the
first speakers and spoke of his vogago
in a prairie schooner across the plains
via. fort Boiso and Idaho. "His com
pany after starting found a widow and
three children en route, whose husband
had been killed by the Indians, and
they voted her all tho provisions they
had, taking chances on the country in
killing game and trusting to luck in
striking some camp for relief. At Fort
Boise they procured dried salmon skins
put up by tho Hudsoit Bay Company's
men, which at the Dalles appeared like
skippery cheese. On journeying here
tho last houso they passed was the
Umpqua ferry house, all the country
south being a wildernes inhabited only
by tho aborigines. Ho and his party
first prospected for gold along Yreka
creek, with good success. About tho
same time, in 1850 and 1851, there
were a largo number of miners at Sal
mon river, where tho people were des
titute, many coming to Yreka with
plenty of money to buy a square meal
to escape starvation. Tlie pioneers
here assisted them and came very near
suffering the same fate as the Salmon
river miners, which was prevented by
the timely arrival of a man named Par
kins, with a load of flour from Oregon.
The diggings on Yreka Flats were dis
covered in April, 1851, when the people
began flocking here from Salmon river
and Scott river, and a year later a
steady immigration poured in from all
directions, as the news of rich diggings
on Greenhorn, Humbug, Cottonwood,
McAdams Creek and other localities
was reported.
Ail. Wink'er, who was at Salmon
river during tho starvation time, ex
perienced rr ugh times at Bestville, then
the principal mining camp, a place sit
uated about threo miles below Sawyer's
Bar. He mentions the djviding of a
loaf of bread among his party, and thr
men coming into camp for something
to eat causing them to put their bread
in their pockets. After a long sus
pense, Winkler lining both hungry and
sympathetic, said he would divide, and
nil did likewise. One of the party had
hidden a loaf of bread, and with this
they started for better quarters to ob
tain food, but finding ono of their lato
visitors lying in the road determined
to die, they divided with him again.
Tlipy went out hunting nnd killed somo
elk, which had mule's lioof-t, and aKo
journeyed to tho summit of the divide
between Salmon river nnd Orleans Bar
where 150 pounds of flour and a lot of
dried apples had been left during a
snow storm. After n diligent search,
these articles were found, nnd mado in
to pie?, one man offering S10 for the
lust half pie left. At South Fork of
Salmon, they found plenty of fine fat
salmon, 'which wns eagerly devoured,
and in the way of game even a gopher
would have been a luxury. L. Husp
man was called upon to tell about sell
ing a load of apples, which he brought
from Oregon, but this wns in 1854,
when prices were more roasonablo than
in 1853.
A. E. Raynes, Jas. Wheeler, Geo.
Dnrnnd, Perry Hoyt, Chnrley Prters
and others were called upon, wlio coin
cided with much that had been related,
Peters referring to the prospects of val
uable corner lots in the anticipated
metropolis, Klamath City, which had
been surveyed and established at tho
mouth of the Klamath whero largo
ships could float in, until shortly after
great bars formed so that they could
almost walk across the mouth of this
great river. The story about the great
price paid for salt, was also correctly
explained in the following manner.
During the starving times of 1852 in
Yreka, there was plenty of beef
but no flour or groceries. In eating
beef straight, salt was grpatly needed,
when a man named White, who after
wards became a partner with F. J.
King, went over to Rogue River Val
ley, and procured a ten pound sack,
which he sold nt a dollar an ounce, and
not at SI 6 an ounce ns has been erron
eously reported. Tlie great rush for
the new mines during 1852, without
