In April, 1W1, the secttwloa con

"to Uke Into consideration the duty
of MitVMiri under the alarming cril
In political affairs." While a large
majority favored secession, there wan
a difference touching the time when
the ordinance ought to be pawed.
Acrimonious debate caused the dull
pjwlons to drag from day to day till
the patience of the hot hea) wa
almowt exhausted.
Metnwhlle In the Utter part of the
month, the governor concluded to
throw off all dlHgui.se or concealment,

purpow partially, but with a result
as nnexpeeted a unwelcome to the
Mate government; and it failed utter

An encampment watt formed in

a prolongation of Market street, and
here were gathered U'twe-n 30)0
and 4000 men, Infantry and artillery,
well armed and equipped, under
command of Gen. 1). M. Front, a
graduate of Went I'olnt. (Jon. Hhaler
was second In command. Both were
of northern birth, the former a ua
tlve of New York, the latter having
been born and bred la Pennsylvania;
but both were outsokrn In syin
ixtthy with the secession movement,
and both held high rank subsequent
ly in the confederate army. These
facts are mentioned an showing that
the catastrophe which soon 'after
befell the garrison of camp Jackson
was not attributable to disaffection
on the part of these officer. Btlll, It
is difficult otherwise to account for
the admirable precautions taken to
Insure the success of an attacking
party, or for the absence of even the
semblance of resistance when the
attack was made.
From the actual limits of the city
to the location of Camp Jackson a
narrow causeway or corduroy road
was the only means of crossing the
morass which Intervened. 80 far
the posit Ion was well taken, for a
few guns properly posted at the
western extremity of this causeway
would have rendered the passage of
a hostile, force almost impossible.
At the further end of this marsh the
country rises into a series of well
defined hills, easily defensible, but

jjoned of state troops legally organ
ized and called Into service by order
of the lawful governor. Whatever
Improper or Inimical purpose might
be suspected and the arsenal at
Clinton having been already seized,
It might well bo feared that a similar
design against the arms and muni
tions at Jefferson llarracks was en
tertained no overt act had yet been
committed. It was claimed by those
assuming to speak for Gov. Jackson
that the occasion for this muster was
only a (tenure to educate the mllltla
In the duties of soldiers, In provision
against disturbances likely to ensue
unon tho excited condition of the
popular mind. It was denied that
this force had been recruited with
reference to the political sentiments
of those enlisted, and alleged that
neither officers nor men had been
committed to any project hostile or
disloyal to tho United Htates.
Cantaln Nathaniel Lyon was the
senior officer in charge of tho 8t,
Louis arsenal, a man of bold and en
terprtslng nature, fully competent to
copo with such a crisis as that now
confronting him; but general control
of the situation lu Missouri had been
entrusted bv President Lincoln to
Hon, Frauk P. lMalr, and It was In
consultation with the latter that the
military commander decided upon a
nolicv and matured his plans for
carrying It Into effect. The consult
ants were agreed that force would be
needed sooner or later. Tho detach
merit of regulars at the barracks was
Inadequate to a successful demon
tratlon against the state troops,
Captain Lyon proceeded to utilize
the large (terinau population, unan
Imous in union and anti-slavery sen
timent, and forthwith organized sev
eral thousand men, arming them
from the government stores, and
using the halls of the various athletic
and musical societies as drill rooms,
thus securing comparative secrecy
for his preparations. He was soon
In position to defy assault so far as
the arsenal was concerned, and In
possession of a force, should offensive
movement bo demanded, largHy in
excess of that upon w hich the state
authorities could rely.
It now became necessary to rceon
nolter Camp Jackson, as well to de
termine the mute and mode of as
sault as to discover the design and
temper of the men there assembled
The first purpose was easy of accom
plishment; but the second called for
tact and for an emissary whose pres
ence would excite no suspicion.
Captain Lyon decided to take that
task upon himself, and In the execu
tion of it he performed a clever bit
of masquerading, the story of which
has never before been given to the
public. Its troth lsvT.ichPd ibr by

Forming one of the family circle
at the Blair mansion on Washington

Mrs. lilair, to whom age bad brought
infirmities of sight and bearing, bat
who was still active in habit. Her
person was familiar to the people of
Ht Louis, as seated In a low, covered
phaeton and wearing a thick, green
veil, she was a constant driver
through tho streets and about the
suburbs. Her Jehu was a respectable
old darkv named Louis, who had
served the anally for throe genera,
tlons, was a repeal tory'of Jhetr confl-
dence and do mean representative of
old-fashioned respectability, and who
bore himself with the dignity befit

Mrs. - defective sight prevented
recognl Jon of any acquaintance out
of doors. She was, however, unlver
sally popular, and on those expedl
tlons would be the reclpleent from
all classes of folk of respectful saluta
tlons, which, being unconscious of,
she was of course unable to return
Hut Louis would have thought the
reputation of the Blalrs seriously af
fected had these tokens of respect
naNed without response; so it was
his habit, while driving slowly
along, to maintain an alert eye upon
the passers-by, to keep his right
hand disengaged, and to reciprocate
with prompt and cordial flourish of
his hat everv bow accorded to his
mistress.
It was of Iaoula, therefore, that
Captain Lyon made a coconspirator
lu his designs of espial upon the sus
pected insurgents. Through conniv
ance of the ladies 0 the family, the
bold captain was attired one morning
In female garments, not forgottlng
an antiquated poke-bonnet and im
penetrable baize veil. Thus dis
guised he entered the phaeton, Louis
mounted by his side, the staid horse
was chucked Into the usual perfuncv
tory trot, and In this fashion a com.

perfectly uccessful. The pretended
blind and deaf lady made active use
of the sharp eyes and ready ears of
the adventurous officer, and saw and

The "agar Harvest.
Beets have been coming in steadily
thlM week at the average rate or
about VA tons per day, the delivery
for the week being 2,225 tons, none
being hauled Saturday or Sunday.
This being tho total for the season
from the Chlno fields up to 8858
tons. From Anaheim there have
been delivered this week 828 tons,
making the total from Anaheim so
far 1384 tons, or the total received
Into the factory of 10.237 tons. The
Chlno beets are of fine size, clean and
high In sugar percentage. The ave
rage of no day has been below 15
In sugar, and the average of the en
tire harvests so far Is over 16 per
cent. Homo splendid crojia have been
harvested already and we hope to
publish some figures regarding them
In a week or two,
A very good run was made in the
factory last night, 830 tons being
worked by the shift. During one
hour In the night there were 4? tons
sliced. Carrying this out, it gives
the machine a capacity of over 1,000
tons a day.
The refined sugar output for the
week has ls?en 708,246 ounds, mak
Ing a total for the season to date of
1,.VS3,393 pounds, or 782 tons 78 car
loads. This is Just a beginning.
Wednesday was the semi-monthly
pay day at the factory. There were
handed over the counter on that day
for wages to the employes, 11,000.
Th'.i was paid to over 300 men. The
regular operatives of the factory Itself
now number over 2M.
This means a payroll amounting
monthly to probably 119,500, or dur
ing the campaign to perhaps tA,000,
which goes into direct circulation
hereabouts. Then there will be paid
to the farmers for beets in the neigh
borhood of 9225,000, besides the
money paid for oil, lime, coke, eoocr
age, freight, repairs, Incidentals, etc.

THE KIM AW AT MOT.
Richard Malcolm Johnston, a pop
ular Southern writer, recently read
some of his stories at Indianapolis,
alter being introduced to an audi
ence by James Wbltcomb Riley, as
follows:
"There was once a boy an ag
grieved, unappreciated boy who
grew to dislike his own home very
much, and found his parents not at
all up to the standard of his require
ments as a son and disciplinarian,
tie brooded over the matter, and one
morning before breskfkst climbed
over the back fence and run away.
He thought of the surprise and re
morse of his parents when they dis
covered that he had Indeed gone,
and he pictured with rainbow colors
tho place he would make for himself
In thi world. He would show his
parents that he would not brook
their III treatment, and that he could
get along U'tter without them than
they could without him. Some way
this feeling o( exhilaration died out
as the long, hot day wore on. There
came a time w hen other boys went
home to dinner. He raided a neigh
boring orchard. The afternoon
seemed endless. A knotted, rigid
sort of an aching spot came Into his
throat that seemed to hurt him worse
when he didn't notice it than when
he did. It was a very curious, self
assertive, opinionated sort of a pain.
"It was nearly dark w hen the strug
gle was given up and the boy slowly
walked along the dusty mad toward
homo. . When he reached the wood
pile ho gathered up a load of wood
and carried It In with him. The
hired girl was washing the supper
dishes, but he did not seem to have
noticed that he had been away. J Je
sauntered carelessly into the pantry,
but the cupboard was locked. He
went out In the back yard and wash
ed his feet at the rain-barrel. Every
thing seemed pleasanter than It ever
had before. The fireflies flitting
among the grape vines, the reflection
of the stars In the rain-barrel, were
soothing to the tired boy. Then be
walked straight Into the old sitting-
room. Ills father didn't took op
from his paper, his mother was so
busy sew Ing she didn't notice his en
trance. "He sat meekly down on the edge
of a chair. Why didnt somebody
say something? He was ready to be
scolded or punished, anything rather
than this terrible silence? If the
clock would only strike it would be
a relief. He heard the boys shout
ing far down the streets, but no de
sire to Join them no, never again
in the world, lie Just wanted to
stay In of nights, right there at home
always. He coughed and moved to
attract attention, but uo one heard
him nor looked up. He couldn't re
member any prior silence that at all
approached It In point of such pro
fundity of depth and destiny of hush.
He felt that be himself must break
It. Assuming an air of careless nat
ural nesi and old-lime ease, he airly
remarked :

1H)XKKT AMA1SST WOLF.
A combat of a most amusing char
acter occurred near Paso del Norte a
short while ago. The participants
were a burro, or little Mexican lack
ass, and a wolf of the large sicles,
known as lohos. The principal
means of transportation in this sec
tion is supplied by the diminutive
and patient burros, all traveling of
short distances being accomplished
on them, whllo they are almost the
only beast of draught employed.
They cau never, by any persuasion,
be coaxed or driven out of a slow
walk, but that they are capable of
resentment, and even fight on occa
sions, need not be doubted after the
gallant victory achieved by 0110 of
them over an animal as savage and
courageous as the loins. This wolf,
which is as large a mastiff, resembles
the hyena more closely than any of
his kind in America, having a back
arched like that animal, and often
approximating it In color,, though
sometimes found nearly black. The

THE ENGLISH LASUUAUE.
Khe principal languages which
coiuK.te with English, not consider
ing such as Chinese and Hlndostanee,
are French, Spanish, Russian and
Herman. French Is practically sta
tionary as regards the number of Its
adherents ; Spanish la largely spoken
In South America and the southern
part of North America, but It owes
Its prominence to the colonizing gen
ius of Its speakers 5 where Uetman Is
introduced it rapidly gives way to
the native tongue, generally F.nglish;
Russian, like the German, has little
Inlluenco upon the Western civiliza
tion. It is a remarkable fact that,
while the English in their colonies
and offshoots have absorbed millions
of aliens, there is no record of any
other race.
In the United States there are mil
lions of Uermaus and other foreign
ers w ho have become merited with
the English speakers In a single gen
eration, they losing even their family
names; and the children, In many
cases, do not understand their par
e tits' language. In Canada, however,
the French-speaking population I In
creasing faster than the English
stroking. This Is not becauso the
French element almorbs the English,
but becauso It crowds it out. While
the French is seldom absorbed by
any other tongue, It is almost always
absorbed by the English. The Eng
lish has practically driven the French
out of Egypt, and Is rapidly driving
the Dutch out of Africa. This has
been accomplished in Egypt within a
dozen years. Tho change in Africa
is being effected with even greater
rapidity. As tho English-speaking
settlers rush into the new country,
tho Dutch and other languages,
which are rarely to Is met with, drop
Into the backwoods and are finally
last. Africa Is witnessing a repeti
tion of the fight of the tongues In
America three centuries ago, which
resulted In a victory for the English.
The history of lingual development
in America alone Is a suRkient argu
ment for the prediction that no lan
guages, excepting possibly those of
the Orient, will long remain formida

heavily loaded. When the horaes
got to the point mentioned they stop

them sharply with the w hip, and, as
they did not respond, begun to bela

uttering a volley of oaths. An Ab

the driver not to beat bis horses so.
As the brutal work continued the

angered the Boston man, and Jump

Asotlier Kcntfdj,
Mr, Henry dans, of Oswego, be
lieve4 he has a sure method of pre
venting prune trees from dying from
Winter-killing. It Is to slit the bark
on the trunks and larger branches of
the trees. This is a very common
practice with cherry trees and he has
treated his prune trees In the same
way. Hi observation leads him to
the conclusion that the trees are most
likely to die In their third year. He
slits the hark (length wise of the trees)
early In Juno and has lost no teees
from winter-killing. The French, or
Petite, Is practically proof against
winter-killing.

MIRIAMS Of Mi; IK.
This Is the kin. I of if. ins tli:it tin

tion :
This week has given the liU'trexi
haul of beets of the season. The de
livery from the Chlno fleliN for tin
past six days ending ln.-t nleht war
3,7M tons, or an average of i;.'t; m i
day. This brings the total for tht
eat-on to date to K',011 tons. Add
to this 2,125 tons from Anaheim and
the factory has received 1 l,73i tons.
The sugar ercentHges still average
high, uml ninny flelds yielding ).', to
IS tons r acre tire gi ing 1 tt to 17
per cent sugar. Some very large
beets have Ist n harvested this week.
There were 80U tons of la-els de
livered yesterday the larucst diiyV
delivery yet.
Nearly .0,0o) gullniis of oil are
consumed dally in tie ten 1 toilers
now.
The Hleffins plttut, the oxrstioi
of w hich has caused some trouble, is
giving better result, and Is hoped
soon to have It give the same satis
faction that a similar plant has given
the company In Nebraska.
Standing at almoht any dint in
the factory grounds or buildings, one
sees a scene of activity, of Industry
and of prosperity that Is a marvel
these "hard times," and one which
cannot Is? rivaled any place In south
ern California. The employment of
a million dollars' worth ol machinery
and buildings ami over ;loi Ameri
can worklngmcn, the consumption
daily of 700 or M tons of the irl-
uct of the soil and a tniulmi ofxnp-
ilies in tho sliafie of fuel, rs k,etc,
tho shipment every day of a train
loadoC flue granulated sugar, all are
sights to gladden the lienrt of the
American ritiacn.
The sugar output for the week
ending last night was 972, l7 unds,
making the total for the maon to
late 2,43A,sM) pounds, or 1, 207 tons.
