Representative Sumner, of Cali fornia, has introduced a bill to fix and establish the maximum rate for fares on the Pacific railways. It proa-ides that after forty days from the passage of the act it will be unlawful for these companies to charge more' than three cents per mile for first-class passengers, two cents for second class, and one and a half for third class.

Though many years have ' passed) since lho.se joyous times, yet well do i remember those dear ohteKentucky ' nils, ana me many nappy days 1 pent with my boyish aoiii- rades wandering through the wild woods, gathering wild grapes and nuts, and how we used to imagine ourselves to be nimble little squir rels in scaling up the hanging grapevines and in climbing up the tall hickory trees. Ah yes, how vividly is that day imprinted on my mind! Twas in tlie persim mon grove, where we were exer cising our gymnastic skill in climb ing the tives0by swinging from the top of one to another, when sud- lenly I saw more stars than I ever linngmed existed, as 1 picked myself up from my back on the v & i i i i i ,i groumt. aim tnose lovely ramble-j n ie old p;tstunl;elds and llov,- er-decked meadows! And when we had tired of roaming we would sit beside the murmuring brook vd listen to the feathered song fUers as they fluttered from bough to bough; or perhaps to "build min iature water wheels and imaginary sawmills.

And when we had seized our game, how we made the forest ring with our shouts of triumph, as we went tripling homeward through the frosty night air. And w hen we had safely housed our game under the old washtub, we were soon tumbled in or bed of feathers, perchance to hr the old clock oiuthe mantel chiming its midnicht carol, and to , I ClOlTllw, ., .

A California correspondent writes: Cave City is in the east ern part of Calaveras county. It once contained 1000 inhabitants, but on the failure yf the gravel unties tlie imputation aimmisiieu as in other miningdtowns, till at present the "city" consists .of a hotel, a saloon and a haystack. A few of the curiosities of early times still remain to the place. One of these is tie graveyard on the hill side above the town. It contains sixteen graves, fifteen St them filled bymen who died with their boots on between 'SOand'otJ. The graves at one time were inclosed by neat fences, but these have rotted away like the bodies they 1,1 , i e inclosoti, ana soon not a trace oi the poor fellows will remain. An other of the curiosities is the great cave from which the place took its name, and well it may be called jrcat, not only from itsextent, but for its great beauty also. The cave has thesappearance of favmg been at some time the subterranean Rit- let for some large lake, as it showsf beyond doul5t"great traces of erosion iy water, mere are lis large chambers with narrow pas- sages leading irom one to anotner. The roofs ami sides are covered with beautiful formations. Many of them, three feet in length, are pendant from the ceiling; and glit ter in. the lamp-light like thou sands of diamonds. There is an other cavern near i& town called the Skull cave, but from tflKs I woiijhJ advise my friemK to stay awayt It was discovered by some Spaniards in 184-4, and the country wWoXafter it, the word Cal averas in Spanish miming 6kull. This cave extends into the moun tain aide tdxjut three hundred. eet; tiud contains over one hundred human skeletons Indians have ik) traditions of how the skel etons were put there, but I think it was an oj.1 Indian camp, and tQit in time of war the unfortunate wretclw'were shut up in the cav ern and perish for want of fotgl and water. The skeletons are scat tered all around as ifgthe creatures hail been wanderincr about in tl?e cavern and fallen dowi? -and died. 1 am told that w hen the cave was frr" ? number of flint arrow points and other Indian weapons. All around the place has a death-like appear ance, and any one who goesthere once will never want toaee it again. W 11 EAT FARMING. A buisness man of Walla Walla, who owns 010 acres of laJ, instead of allowing it to lmain a wild waste, cultivateAt and makes it produce its quota. Being unable to attend to it himself, he "has entered into a contract with a man who undertakes to plough, seed and look utter it in every way untilp1 it is harvested, or Srz.oO per acre. The owner furnishes tW? seed and i '!' all expense of narvesti and by calculation the total cost per acre, including hauling to the cur.--, i i exacuy cu.uu per acre, or for the whole tract oiQUO acres, $:,840. lie has placed his estimate of the crop at the lowest possible figures, .and calculates the price of wheat is fifty cents per bushel, aud allows only twenty bushels to the This will give 13,800 bush els, which will briCy ' him in fi,900 leaving a clear profit of jvi.OGO. The price for sacks are included in this, as the money for them is returned by the grain dealers. At this rate there is no reason why oyj wheat growers should not become prosperous, for (die average yield per acre, with anything like farming, is alkthe way from twenty-five to lO'ty bushels per acre, and is nearer forty than twenty-five; and again iustead of fifty cents per bushel, the price,- as at present, is about sixty-five cents, which leaves a much larger margin. Of course this only applies to land that has been broken aud not to wiia lanus.

Parker, who sold hid print-shop aud struck outofor the Couer d'Alene mines, sends back some notes on his trip while en route, from OvhicJ we exfcf&t ho following: After crossing the open prairie the trail takes up the hills and thence across the basaltic tablo lands, whence it descends abruptly into a tributary canyon of the St. Joe, where we made camp for the night and found ice an inch thick in our gold pan next morning. We were up at daylight, broke camp and headed down the canyon and soon arrived at St. Joe lake, from whence the vapors were rising heavily. Following around its westn shore we found an encamp ment of half a dozen Indian lodges on an arm of the lake, and the scene presented as pretty a picture of Indian lire in an Indian country aa i evei beheld.' lhe air was chill, but tlie sun v3?is signing brightly, faft dissipating the va pors rising from the lakeoas we rounded the southern shos of ita glistening surface pd beheld in a shtered cove flie conicaforms of the lodges whose white drapery glistenetr with the fastodissolving frost-crystals, and from whose apex Hspirai wreames oi sujont; uuiu una campfires ascende lazily heaven ward. Cigar-shaped birch-bark ennues floated gracefully on the waters, or were hauled, high and dry, on the beaqjh, where, with their red sides, painted ends and gaping interiors, they looked like some stranded aquatic monsters. A horde of vigilant igs, with ears Qnd tails erect, gave voiQ at our approact?, and upon our arrival, a half dtgenqsaddle-tmted children of the forest gave us genteel greet ing, lira Ime itself is but a tri angular body of dead water, two miles long by one'mile wide, and folding part of the St. Joe river. On its northern shore is a long utrAtck of level meadow lnnd, covered with heavy ggnss of this season, the timber-clatPdiills, with the snowy caps of inSJniain range visible to the eastward. The scene is pretty enough to look at in the distance, but the enchant ment is dissipated, like the morn ing mist by the rising sun, as one is brought face to face with the re pulsive details whjjch confront youG when brought into close contact with the encampment. For pend ing the transfeiD of our effects BwingiiO our horses across the cove, we had time to note that the encampment was a lister of filth, old packaddles, deerskins, fish b()3os.?uid animal and vegetable matter in all stages of putrefac tion. The lodges which glistened so brightly afar off developed into scraps of dirty old flour and gunny sacks; the graceful canoes smelled to hiQven of rotten fish ; the dogs stole and ate a bar of soap from our packs, and to cap the climax, two sqiw?rrels sat in the sun en gaged iu the diverting exercise of picking the grey backs off each V.ll..- rpi r 1 1 "i ., otiier. xuese lnuians are an uatn olics, and all wear a brass medal .with an embossed representation of the crucifixion, which they nnd fiomewnat ostentatiously display to j n fC&wftwgeik. They are also peace able, industrious, very obligincr. and speak excellent English, but despit0these good traits of charac ter their close acquaintance is not desirable, and I coujd not help thinking the good Jesuit fathers who taught theihjcould have done letter by teaching them to be more cleanly and less devout. A flutter has been caused in scientific circles by the announce ment, in The Union M.ejjgnl of June 2, of the discovery, on pierc ing a new gallery in a coal mine at Bully-Grenay (Pes-de-Calnis9, of a series of very remarkable cav erns. In the first were the intact fossil bodies of a n9m, two women and three0children. Beside them were petrified pieces ofryooden utensils and remains of mammals and fish, as well a3 stone weapons. A second subterranean cavern re vealed eleven bodies of gigantic size, the fossils of several animals, and a great number of various ob jects, including precious Ftones. Into a third and large chamber the miners could not enter, on account of thp carbonic acid it contained. If aliens turns out to be as true as it appears to be, the existence of prehistoric man is a stern fact, 1 oven to the most sceptic-aR 9 . o 3
