Fruit at the Canneries. Hurrah: shouts the schoo!-boy, tossing bis hat in the air and rushing into the house like a cyclone. No school next Monday; vacation for two weeks for bop picking! His sister, although more quiet about it, is equally as well pleased, for this is their grand holiday of the year. Then they be gin to speculate on about how much they will be able to make, and what they will do with their money. Every one who asks for it is given work. You may pick City ponuds. You aro paid 75 cents. You may pick for an hour, or you nay pick throughout the season. You may sing, you may laugh, you may pray; all have perfect liberty to do as they please, within cettain bounds, ef course. The rights of everyone are respected, and the truth must be told, there is very little trou ble of any consequence in the hop-fields of Healo_bnrg. With the exception of a few Digger In dians, white people exclusively are em ployed, the Indians are very "clean pick er-." They do not pick the big hops ami leave the smaller ones on the vines, and their baskets are not half-full of trash. Such is the case, sometimes, with the other pickers, i am sorry to say, but tliey are soon •'-; . .ted" and paid off. The ludians are very peaceful and bidable, unless they get pos session of the forbidden "lire-water"; then ifiey are more aggressive toward each other than to any one else. The hop-fields look unusually beautiful this season, the graceful wreaths swaying in the gentle breeze sending out an odor agreeable and refreshing. The prise that is offered for hops is refreshing too, the hop-growers say. They havo been offered 30 cents per pound, but not many have con tracted for their boos even at that price. Whole families, consisting of paren:s with from four to eight children, oftentimes bring their necessary household effects and tamp .beside the hop-fields. Good water and . enty of firewood is freely furnished, and tliey all, from father down to the little tot of 4 years, work with a will; and the amount the; earn is no small sum. Up in the morning at 4 o'clock, the hop-pickers from all over our little city eat a hearty breakfast, take their lunches prepared the night before aud hurry to the fields in merry little groups. They will receive 1% cents for picking. Last year it was IV* cents per pound. While to the uninitiated the quarter of a cent seems very trilling tothe hop-picker it gives added encouragement. Nearly all the small boys earn enough to buy their winter suit of clothes, and have something besides to get a n.-l.Lided jack-knife, fishing tackle or any other coveted treasure. One small boy of in', acquaintance (aid witli pleasant antici pation in his eyes, "if 1 can only make enough to buy Stanley's book, wont 1 be happy," and so it is each one has his cher ished dreams. May they all be realized. 1 1 he canneries and driers are not uearly through with their work. They are still very busy with peaches, pears and plums, and grapes and apples yet to come. •The Magnolia Cannery has been running day and nigfit. They have ISO employes and tlieir pay-roll last week was $'..'". The average waves of women and girls is 10 cents per hour. On "piece work" they earn more. One of the women employed said, with acute little smile, "Oh: they do not give us piece work all the time, we would make too much." They can easily make 51 75 to $2 or even more on piecework. It is not bard work and they are very con tented, cheerful workers. They put up all kinds of fruit ami several kinds of vegeta bles. Just think of the vast quantities of fruit that have been handled. This year's pack will amount to mure than 00,000 dozens. Many fruit-growers prefer to dry their fruit to selling it to tlw canneries. Bradford Brothers, of Up( Dry Creek, a few miles northwest of Heaidsburg, hive about twenty acres grown to fruit this year; they have twenty-live men, women and children working for them, paying them good Wiges. Galway ■ Brothers we equally busy, they have not enough of their own and are buying all tlie fruit they can get, paying the highest market price.

Potomac Kich Futurity - The Small Odds Offered by Beck-Makers— Derby Entries for 1832. The Futurity stakes, the richest prize of the year, valued at .'70,000, was won very handily last Saturday at Sheepshead Bay by A. Belmont's colt Potomac, by St. l_lai.e-Sus_uel-.tnna. Hamilton up. Masher, another colt from the same stable, ridden by Bergen, was second. The time was 1:14 1-5, very slow indeed. It was the third running of the event, and the flrst timo that the samo owner got first and second money. All the crack two-year-olds, fifteen in Dum ber, started, and the race, with the vast difference in weights, ranging from 105 to 130, was considered a very open one. Po tomac has shown up very well before and was made the favorite. Key del Key was fourth, aud finished only a head behind Strathmeath, who was third, the same dis tance behind Masher, why THE TIME WAS slow. There was a long delay at the post, the field being very fractious, and to this cause the slow time is probably due. Considerable betting was done in the local pool-rooms, and some wagers were made at 1 to 3 that the run would be made in 1:09%. Last year the stake was won by Protection, owned by Bob Camp bell, Baldwin's colored trainer. Campbell was so poor before the rare that he could nut pay his hotel bill, lt is believed that lie squared up his accounts after the races. This tine it was a millionaire's time to succeed.

Last Thursday saw the last of the Saratoga ami Monmouth meetings, and a deep sigh of relief went up from the plucked public, who have been s i unmercifully hit over the rac ing at both places this season. Two more disastrous meetings tor the public it would be hard to find in turf annals. The in and out running Ins been so continued that pub lic form ill's gone out of sight. The book makers at Monmouth especially made for tunes, and the public lost them. In this con nection the New York Tribune says : Never has a race course hi any country been so constant and rich a source of profit to the bookniakeis as the new Monmouth Park, with us wonderlul stiaiglit tracks, li was predicted with the most conspicuous emphasis and as surance that when we had the faultless and altogether admirablo English courses in tills country there would be no more strange varia tions of public form, that horses would no longer be pocketed or interfered with, that Ihe best horses would carry oil the prizes, and that the public with aimed voice would join In the heartiest approval of the plan ot slatting horses -i Eitloittowii and running them to Little Silver, with i lie coiite-tlnz animals out of sight of the spectators for nlne-tentns of the way. unless these spectators wero provided with the most powerful anil expensive liel.l glasses in the world. But for some Inexplicable reason the expected results have not been attained. There are more stii_.iit.-_r and eccentric variations of lorin at Monmouth than ever occurred before on any race-track iii the world. The great mass of race-goers me more profoundly bewildered dally In the Impossibility of getting the least Indication how* horses will run in any particular race oui the maimer In which lhey have run la pievloti races. Ii may be thai the somewhat unsettled and uncertain coudltlon of the new tracks at Monmouth may account lor some nt these wild vagaries, but although there may be soft spots I, eic and there, modulations of consistency and diversities of compactness m ihe make-up of these tract's, still ihcso Ins aud outs of me area could not possibly explain all the Ins and outs of the running ol any iaige percentage of them, In trull;, all the iimortunate and ieg;e:able ele ments of racing aio even moro prevalent and mote Injurious at -Monmouth itir.n on the cval couise mentioned. Mr. Withers may yet have to revise tils Ideas. Britannia Ii a wonderful coun try, anti mi some toil Diallers she Is still far aliead of the United States, but that the English system of i mining horses on straight courses will become more popular In this republic than the good old Ameiican fashion of oval tracks is an ihiiig but plain at present. CINCH ODDS. Book-makers can always be depended upon to look very closely after their own interests in offering as small odds as they possibly can. Locally, tho odds offered in the pool rooms are ridiculously low and utterly out of proportion to the true risks of the racing. The largest price laid here, even on the largest fields, is 30 to 1 straight audio for the place, thanks to an amicable understanding among the booking combina tion. Yet at the tracks Last, in almost every large field, as nigh as 100 to 1 is laid. The Sportsman, alluding editorially to the subject, says: It is only necessary to look dally at the quota tions ofici' d by the book-makers upou lite diller eot events at any meeting In order to see how oaring an advantage the pcncllers take of (he absence of the old familiar mutuel pool boxes. That tue Paris niuluel system Is calculated to teach book-makers lo oiler consistent odds no body will deny, we believe, who recalls Ihe effect pioduci'il in days now past, It can be but a tl'iesiloti of lime when Ihe managements of the laager tracks will icallze that the nubile must bo seived In this as In oilier equally Important mat ters.

Despite their continual complaints, that they are all heavy losers, a most pe culiar state of affairs, seeing that the out side public is continually on its "uppers," another new book-making linn commenced operations last Satunlay, and will try to get their share of the golden eggs laid by the public goose. The unfortunate bird is. however, nearly "laid" out, and will surely soon stop operations.

The English Sporting Time', alias "The Pink 'Un," is responsible for one more story on the irrepressible Betesfords: On ono cc asion at Stockbridge, when Lord William Beresford had been riding in a race, a demonstration was got up against him. Selecting the noisiest of the hooters he said to him: "See here, my friend, lets take a cab and drive a mile or two and have this thing out." "_fes," replied the rough, "1 see. We go for a drive together, you give me a darn gootl billing and leave me to pay for the cab. I ain't on." W. 11. E. Smith bus decided not to go East with Al Farrow, ami as a result that fast horse will race at West Side Park, Chicago, until the opening of the fall campaign at Louisville.

If her luck were as good as her looks she would have a continual round of victories, but nature, after making her a racehorse, afflicted her with a species of nervous rheumatism, which has crippled her when big prizes have scenic I within her grasp. The Lady, who is by Miser, out of i.u-jiii" Lass, by imrorted Buckden, second dam Bonaventure, by Harry of the West, thirtl dam .Maggie G. by Brown Dick, is a Chestnut filly, looking scarcely more than a pony. A close examination, however, shows her power. She is a picture "to follow," with grandly muscled quarters right dowu to the hocks, a splendid shoulder, deep barrel and strong back. ANOTHER RECORD BBOKE-T. On August 20th, at Butte. Mont, Bub Wade, a bay gelding, went a quarter of a mi la in 21% seconds, breaking the record by a quarter of a second. Patsy Duffy, the well-known jockey, has been released from St. Vincent's 80-pital, St. Louis, where he was untler treatment for alcoholism. He came out iv very good shape, aud saitl he was determined to re deem, himself by good Work in the saddle on Eastern tracks. When he reached Chicago, however, his guol resolutions vanished, and he drank heavier thau ever. MONGOLIAN WILES. Varney (.askill Falls a Prey to a Design in? Heathen. Deputy Surveyor of the Port of San Fran Cisco, Varney W. Gaskill, was tearing his beautiful blonde mustache in despair Friday afternoon, and refused to be com forted, even when a gorgeous Illy of the valley was placed upon ins desk by one of the many ladles who admire his military form. lie cause of his lamentations was the fact that he, Yaruey XV. Gaskill, had allowed a slippery Mongol to escape from liis custody into which the laws of the United States had consigned him for safe keeping. Tho Chinaman was one of those who bad come from the far Orient in the steamer Oceanic, and were waiting to pass through the hopper of Commissioner Mc- Allister's habeas corpus mill. But the wily -Mongol, hearing of Judge Hoffman's suuden activity in calling a halt on the methods of that friend of the in swarming Tartaric hordes, and meditating upon the increasing cost and uncertainty of the writ route iuto Uncle Sam's dominions, concluded to take a shorter cut; hence the handsome Varuey's despair. The thing happened in this way: It is the custom when "Bockwsh Doc" Itickard's is questioning the Chinamen in the recently arrived steamers to have a table placed on the deck of Ihe vessel away from Un smells of the steerage where the Chi amen dwell, and the Chinese are marched up to this table and put through the inquisitorial catechism. After each one is questioned he Is allowed to wander 0 7er a certain por tion of the deck, always, however, under tin* watching eye of some of Varuey's guards. Last Friday this process was going on and the Chinamen were being watch' d by none other than the eye of the superb Varney himself, assisted, of course, by several of his henchmen. Varney noticed a sleepy-looking Mongol standing near the ship's side looking down upon the crowd of his countrymen on th" dock below. lie was one of those who bad just passed through "Doc" ltickard's cross examination. There was something in the gleam of the man's eye which caused the watchful Varney to suspect him of some sort of mischief, ana lie determined to order him below. Before he could put the determination info effect some one claimed his attention. It was ' only for a moment, but when the conscien tious Deputy Surveyor again turned his face tow aid the ship's side lie gave a cry of dis may and sprang to the bulwarks. The sleepy-looking Mongol was gone. Varney looked down upon the crowd be low, but alas! Chinamen are so very much alike, and he only -at; a sea of grinning faces, not one of which he could re< o_ttil_e. They were all lau.liing at him— at him, the repre sentative of the Government ol the United States, and the sight made him furious. HOW did the man get down"*' It seemed im possible for any one to drop that distance •without a broken leg, but he saw no liuipin-t Chinaman in tliat throng. Perhaps it was a mistake ; perhaps the man had mingled with his countrymen in the toat. He would ascer tain the fact at once.' The Chinese were quickly herded into the steerage and counted. Dispaii I One was missing. Again thocouut was gone through with, hut the tally was unmistakably ono short v-"s'. ".: Varney called to his men to follow, and rushed down among the crowd ol Celestials on the deck. With feverish haste he peered in all their faces, but he could not recognize his man. He pushed his splendid silk hat far back upon his bend and pressed his hand to his hot brow. There was nothing to be done but go and report the escape. Slowly and sadly he traveled hack to the Custom-house ami, calling his superior in command, Paris Kilburn, into the private office of Collector- Phelps, he fell upon his knees before the two potentates and con fessed his fault with lamentations and tears. 'ihe two men forgave him, nnd then the power of the Federal Government was in voked to keep the matter from tho newspa pers. ■-, Strict injunctions of secrecy were placed upon all 011 the boat but, unfortu nately for their plans, they could not muzzle the Chinaman who escaped, aud so the story got out. ■ .

Through the watchfulness of twqpolice- Dim a large and important seizure of opium wl 3 made early yesterday morning in the very heart of Chinatown, after being smug gled successfully from a schooner at Lom bard-street wharf past the United States of ficials by an ordinary seaman. The smuggler was placed in a cell at the City Prison aud will be given in custody of the United States Marshal this morning. He gave the name of Louis Mattson, and said he was a sailor on the schooner Jennie, uo.v lying at Lombard-street Wliarf. The opium, which he had taken from British Columbia, was confiscated by the police, who hold it temporarily for the Fed eral officers. It consisted of So'- o-tael boxes, worth about 57400. . About 12:30 o'clock yesterday morning Officer Michael J. Conboy and Special Of ficer Farrell were standing at the corner of Kearny and Commercial streets, when their attention was attracted to a back drawn by two gray horses and which was driven up and down Keirny street three or four times. A nan who appeared to be a sailor loitered at. lie opposite corner and was apparently on ho lookout for something. Each time tin hack passed by its solitary occupant lift 1 up the blind ami looked out cautiously. Th. suspicions of the officers were aroused, and it was decided to watch the buck. A CLEVER DISGUISE. Very soon it was driven up Commercial street, toward Dupont, and stopped opposite the old Verandah Theater building, A .Clii nese opened a door and '-aid something to the man in the carriage, who was not quite shrewd enough to carry his scheme through, for a cripple limped past painfully and overheard the words: "All right; I'll be back about 3 o'clock." The lame man was Special Officer Farrell, who cleverly assumed the disguise, at a mo ment's thought. Conboy and Farrell were then certain that some unlawful transaction was to be perpe trated at that hour, and they made arrange ments to meet shortly before the time, and se crete themselves near by the doorway, to be in readiness for anything that might transpire. They lii 1 iii a dark recess opposite the place the, were to watch, and just at 3 o'clock were rewarded with seeing the same hack and its gray burses pats the street along Kearuy in a southerly direction. Two men were on the corner,' however, and, it seems, friglitenetl the smuggler from turning into the Chinese quarter with ids precious booty. * s-V AT THE I.AST MOMENT. The carriage passed on, and returned again and- again, while i s occupant peered anxiously through its windows toward where he wished to go.. All was as still as night in the narrow street, ami the uncertain light encouraged him to hasten forward and finish his risky task; but the uight prowlers. ho imagined, were watching him, ami lie drove around to Dupont street. After a brief interval his carriage appeared at the other end of the block and stopped. Then it stol almost noiselessly down the slight hill and stoiped at the point where it had beeu thies hours belief. The smuggler stepped out quietly with a large case, which he carried into a door way, where a Mongol was waiting in the dark. The box was too large to pass through the small door, and the iron door had to be opened to get the opium inside. As it was deposited on the lloor the big weather-tanned sailor who took it in was placed under arrest by Officer Coubuy. The sailor looked un from where lie was stooping, and in a terrified voice exclaimed: "It's all up with me now. There is no use in denying anything." At the City Prison the smuggler gave the name of Louis Mattson, and talked quite freely of his capture and how lie came by the opium. TUE -SMUGGLE-. SrEAKS. . Hi said that the opium had been smug gled into British Columbia some time ago froti China, and held at Nanalmo until the . ..ut.u- Jennie; on which he worked, ar- rived there ao*j took it on board for this port Only himself was interested in the scheme, and his remuneration was set at $50. He told another story to the effect that he was to have been paid 51315 by the Chinese for the opium, which was carefully packed In two large boxes and a bag. Maurice Walsh, the hack-driver who owns the vehicle which conveyed the opium from the schooner, lives at Twenty-ninth and Folsom streets, and may be held responsi ble for Ins complicity in the smuggling, al though he claims he does not know what Mattson hail iv the bag and boxes. When he found how matters turned out he loudly demanded his fare. "it's all up now," replied Mattson, "and I cannot pay you. If 1 had got my money on the opium I would havo paid you." "1 don't know about your crooked work, but 1 want to be paid for driving you about the town for live hours," retorted the angry hacktnan. Mattson hired the back early in the even ing, drove to the Cliff House, where he took dinner with the driver, and then returned to the wharf. lie gave Walsh .ti, all the money he had in his possession. 'Die schooner Jennie trades mostly be tween England and France, with general merchandise, and sailed to Vancouver Island with a mixed cargo, after which she came to this port with the smuggled opium. A SNAKE IN lU-.K BONNET. Thick Hair Saves n Woman From a Vcnn niniis Sting. A few evenings since the neighbors of Mrs. Kate Lynehbar were much alarmed to hear a succession of shrieks issue from that lady's residence, anil ran instantly to her assist ance, writes a correspondent from Galves ton, Tex., to the Philadelphia Times. They met Mrs. Lynehbar, who is a widow, as she rushed from the liouse, holding her hands to her head; but it was some time before She could calm herself sufficiently to tell them what was the matter. Her story was that, having an engagement to go to church, she had gone into a spare 100:11 for her bonnet, which, on coming home from morning ser vice, she had put temporarily ou a table in the room. She picked up the bonnet, noticine that it seemed unusually heavy, but put it on her head, or tried to, for she was prevented from doing so by the presence of some body in it tco large to permit her bead to enter. Be- 1 fore she could .natch it off, however, whatever it was struck her on tne head, she said, and, frightened out of her wits, she tore off the bonnet, anil what she declared she knew by the feel of its slimy body to be a snake. Though believing that the lady was mistaken in the thing that had been iii her bonnet, her neighbors proceeded to thoroughly search the room, and finally dis covered a small puff adder behind a dress ing cast;. The reptile showed fight, but the numbers being unequal it was at last dispatched. There being on the island no snakes of that kind which is extremely venomous, the only explanation of its presence is that it must have been brought from Mexico on one of the fruit schooners plying between there aud this place, ana probably was concealed in a bunch of bananas Mrs. Lynehbar had that day purchased. Her hair prevented the blow the snake gave her irom imlicting a wound, which in all likelihood would have proved a serious matter. WILL DIE ON THE GALLOWS. A Convicted Murderer I'.-tc.pes Jail, but In Recaptured. - lUleig.l (N. C), Aug. 23.— There was a largo assemblage of people nt Lumberton yesterday to see Steve Jacobs, the noted outlaw, who, heavily ironed, was taken there from Jesup, Ga., where lie was recap tured a few days ago. Jacobs is a Croatian Indian of tlie most bloodthirsty and re vengeful nature. He brutally murdered Sirs. Earp, an aged white woman, in Robin son County, a year ago. | De escaped and was recaptured, tried, convicted of murder and sentenced to death. He appealed to the Supreme Court, which affirmed the Judg ment. The Governor then is.v d his death warrant, but ten days before the date fixed for the execution Jacobs escaped from jail. lie lived in the swamps, . but at times ap peared in the public roads, both in South and North Carolina. He threatened many, persons with deatli and was feared by every- : body.-. A big reward was offered for his capture and he tied into Georgia. His uncle, l'urdio Jacobs, is also in Lumberton Jail under sentence of deatli I for the murder of Mrs. Kit rp, who was assassinated in her. house. —Louisville Courier-Journal. •tli.~i|iiiti ci Hate Oil. - '^'Wherever you find petroleum yon : wont find r mosquitoes," said au old. oil country man.

The sixteen-year-old son of John Mlmbs of Dublin, Ga., died a day or two ago. Four years ago he swallowed a brass thim ble off the end of an umbrella, which lodged in his throat ami there remained until his death. It is said that the poison from the brass caused his death. Mrs. Starkweather and Miss Elliott, a Philadelphia girl, are the two most promis ing singers of the season iv Europe. Miss Elliott is at present in America, but Mrs. Starkweather has been singing with suc cess in grand opera in Europe uuuor the curious name of Starvetta. Some years ago John Boyle O'Reilly and the American Minister in Eugland both in quired of the English Government if he would be permitted to visit Canada aud Ire land, but the answer was returned that, in view "of tha circumstances of your case," such permission would not be given. Inspired by tho attentions showered upon the Cossack officer Peshkoff, who rode from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg, Miss Lin bnuovska, a young woman of the Russian capital, has decided to ride from that city to Odessa. She is well known as oue 'of the best horsewomen in St. Petersburg. A learned man lias said that tho hardest words to pronounce ln the English lan guage are "1 made a mistake." When Frederick the Great wrote to the Senate "1 have just lost a battle and it's my own fault, Goldsmith said, "His confession shows more greatness than his victories." An English scientific person has dis covered that sitting down is an acquired habit. The majority of mankind do net sit, -lit "simply squat, or, as it is sometimes said, sit on their heels. This position, the scientific person thinks, is the natural one, while sitting on a chair is an* artificial one. The energetic maimer in which Emperor Wilhelm is weeding old men out of the German army is shown by statistics: At the end of ISS4 there were 3018 officers of the Prussian contingent in retirement. To-day there are 407-. Generals of infantry aud cavalry have been retuorscly mowed down. A few miles from the eastern shore of Florida,- nearly opposite Matanzas, a large spring of fresh water boils up in great abundance. So large is this spring that Lieutenant Maury took his little coast sur vey steamer on top of "the boil" and it was quickly swept to one side by the boiling spring. The ways of auctioneers in different parts of the world vary greatly. In England and America the seller bears the expense of the sale, but in France the purchaser bears the cost, per cent being added to his purchase. In Holland it is worse, the buyer being re quired to pay 10 per cent additional for the expenses of the sale. Rather a unique invitation to a merry making was that issued by the Bristol Couuty Fruit-growers' Association, to a clambake to be held at Dighton, Mass.. July .list. The invitation was printed on a postal card, of which it occupied but one halt. The other half contained the business card of a funeral director. Gnstave timircand, a citizen of Nantes, has a hobby for bills and posters. He made an exhibition of his collection last spring lor a local charity of Nantes, and was able to produce designs in this neglected but not humble line of art by a large number of artists who made some mark in their day. A catalogue was supplied by the collector. Even great metropolitan journals slip sometimes. A writer in the London Daily News alluded to "the best things" Cardinal Newman "had said about Charles Kings ley." After the sentence had journeyed over the cable and through the New York Herald's composing" and proof-reading rooms it came out, "the best things he had said about Charles King's leg." A shepherd dog fell into a dry well in Oglethorpe County, Ga. A young man went to the canine rescue, and as soon as tho animal heard his voice it went into rap tures of delight. The man procured a rope long enough to reach to the bottom of the well, and, lowering it, was surprised to see the dug grasp the end firm in his mouth and hold on until ho was drawn to the top. The dog had received no serious injuries, and, being given a hearty meal, was us frisky as ever. Cough-Cures Are abundant; but the one best known for its extraordinary anodyne and expectorant qualities is Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. For nearly half a century this preparation has been in greater _______ than any other rem- edy fur colds, coughs, bronchitis, and pul- monary complaints in general. "I suffered for more than eight months from a severe cough accompanied with hem- orrhage of the lungs and the expectoration : of matter. The physicians gave me up, but piy druggist prevailed 011 me to try Ayer's- Cherry Pectoral- I did so, and soon began to improve; my lungs healed, the cough ceased, and I be- came stouter and healthier than I have ever been before." I would suggest that the name of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral be changed to Elixir of Life, for it certainly saved my life." — F. J. Oliden, Salto, Buenos Ayres. - "A few years ago I took a very bad cold, which settled on my lungs. I had night • sweats, a racking cough, and great soreness. ■ .My doctor's medicine did me no good. I tried many remedies,' but received no bene- fit ; everybody despaired of my recovery. I was advised to use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, : and, as a last resort, did so.
