General Notes.
CULTIVATION OF TBEBS AND VINE.*.
h.t the recent meeting of the State Horti
cultural Society, held in Kan Francisco, the
topic, •■ The Cultivation of Orchards and
the Tools Used Therefor," was discussed,
and while much intbelineof experimental
reports was brought out, it was disclosed
that verj divergent views were held upon
this as well as most other subjects pertain
ing to horticulture. The subject was
oper.ed by Hubert Williamson, of Sac
ramento, who held that the style of culti
vation must differ somewhat with different
trees and soils. Mis ideas and method had
changed from the method he at first adopt
ed. He used te plow the soil away from
the trees at the first plowing, and then
work it back at the second plowing. Now
he plowed first, throwing the dirt toward
the trees, thereby covering up and smother
ing the weeds and saving much hoeiag.
By subsequent plowing ami cultivation the
soil was worked back again to the level.
Sometime ago his main idea with refer
ence to cultivating orchards was to get per
'»•■ t pulverization ■ •! thesoil on the surface;
now bis main idea ir; to get depth in stir
ring the soil. Cultivation cannot be too
deep, providing the viots of the trees are
not injured. He used the plow but once in
the season and used cultivators afterward,
; nr. pig-weed coming in so clogged the
cultivators that he use.l plows oftener am 3
cultivator less. He plows both ways if
the slope of the snrfece allows cross-plow
ing. He leaves about ten days between tae
first and second plowing. Last year he
plowed his orchard four times and celti
vated once, and the trees didbetterthan
ever. He uses a movable beam plow to
work closeto the trees.
James Shinii, of Siles, was the next
speaker, and said ins way was to twra two
furrows against eaoh other midway be
tween the rows of trees and then plow
away from the trees on each .side, using a
one-horse ['!•>". ;> finish near the trees.
He (lows thus early in the season, and
when the weeds h re got a good<growth he
turns thesoil ba '. away from the trees
and leaves a. shallow dead-fHTrow in the
center, lie believed !'.: deep cultivation,
and cited the'ease of a neighbor who U.u\
■ ! :.-. a complete pulverization of the
surface. He used a cultivator incessantly
and brought the surface <>' the soii to a
fineness like mash-heap. Heneversawa
finer cultivated orchard. That season,
however, Ira neighbor's apricots were very
small, so small that he had to dry them, as
they would not suit the fanners. 1; vras
discovered that the fineness on top would
not do rithout deep stirring because the
soil beneath the powdi face was hard
and dry as a floor.

Four to six weel afterwards he would

and rub down tie surface with a dod

they plow away from the trees, end the
next vi-:ir t!je_, pk>w toward the trees.
Tlie manner which Mr. Williamson
stated that he bad abandoned, A. T. Hatch,
of Solano.says he follows. He plowed first
away from the trees and afterwards towards
them. ! !•■ ■|■■ tl the prai to ol

the result would have been, at the very

this rate can we afford to give up so much

A IncTv York microscopist, Dr. Walker,
of Franklinville, has discovered that the
gape worm, producing the well-known dis
ease iii fowls, lives during one stage of ex
istence in the earthworms; just as the
liver flake of sheep passes during part of
its life tin a species of snail. In a paper
read before the Builalo Microscopical So
ciety, Dr. Walker stated that the earth
worms are the host of the minute cysts of
the gape worms., and the chickens in eating
the former, also swallow the latter. Prob
ably only those earthworms in yards where
the fowls have run for some time contain
the parasites, and hence the fowl yards
should be occasionally changed.

A Trip to Mission Valley— Kailroad
Matters— Fine Sport at Ocean
Fishing.
[Correspondence of the EbOORD-Unioh.]
It was a beautiful morning that my
frieud had chosen for a drive to Mission
valley, and we were soon speeding along
at a two-forty gait. It really seemed, no
time ere we were at old ga>; T)'iego, a dis
tance of four miles. The place seems
"gone to the bad" entirely. The old
adobes are crumbling with age, few being
occupied. The population does not exceed
150 souls. Borne of the walla of the first
county jail built in this section are still
standing. The jail was built many years
ago, and when completed its first occupant
was the individual who was Sheriff of the
county at the time of its being erected. He
was a defaulter to the tune of $12,000. and
was arrested and sentenced to imprison
ment. After serving two years, some of
his friends procured his pardon. He still
lives at old San Diego and has become
a well-to-do and respectable citizen.
A mile farther on and we enter Mission
valley, which can be reached by two ways,
one route being by Old San Diego, and the
other across the mesa. This latter route is
much the shortest, and my visit to the val
ley was by Old San Diego, returning by
way of the mesa. The valley is a lovely
spot. Its length perhaps twenty miles, its
width varying from one to three miles.
Throughout its center Hows in a serpentine
manner the San Diego river, a miserable,
dwarfish stream, with the treacherous
quicksand for a bottom. When heavy
storms occur in the mountains this river
gets to an immense depth and width, but
its present appearance makes it hard to re
alize that fact. The valley is completely
hemmed in by high hills, the land sloping
toward the river.
MANY OLIVE GROVES
Are to be seen, and some few fruit trees,
while here and there is a barley field. The
feed remains green the entire year, and a
great portion of the valley is therefore used
more for grazing than for other purposes.
The land is excellent, and prices range from
$30 to $300 per acre.
Since my last letti-rdisappointment,misery,
and all else unpleasant, has taunted me,
for then being so premature in my exult
ations over the climate of San Diego. I
represented it as being liken unto " perpet
ual spring lime." and so it was at that par
ticular time. The air was soft and mild,
while the nights were cool and clear; but
since rtie 13th I have found it just as
changeable as could be found anywhere,
with thunder and lightning, wind and rain.
Of course it is the month of .Mar,':, and all
allowance should be made, therefore I cease
my complaints for the lime being. I do
not know what I would have done had I.
by accident or otherwise, have met during
that spell of bad weather any friends from
Sacramento who might have been in
fluenced by my letters to come hither for
health. I would certainly have felt much
mortified. Yet, perhaps, I could smooth
things over by repeating that oft-told story
" that these changes were some thine quit*
unusual— entirely beyond the comprehen
sion of ye oldest settler." Still, lam afraid,
notwithstanding my excuses, I would be
considered as one who handled the truth
carelessly, no matter how often or how hard
I might strike my breast for repentance.
The weather has again settled ; the rain has
mnm nth) crnno mthl u<> :i:v nrnv> 111 ore in
the enjoyment the Italian-like climate
for which San Diego is so much nrrxii.
The coming of the rain was a God-send,
and was the cause of much rejoicing on
every side. All seem happy bow, and lively
times arc anticipated from now on. i hope
so. for times here have been very quiet.
RAILROAD MATTERS. ETC.
Many strangers are visiting us; some
have come to stay, while others just take a
look and go. Everybody is talking rail
road. The San Diegoans think they see
their fondest hope about being realized, in
the shape of a through railroad line to this
place. The California Southern is rushing
things with a vengeance. It has between
800 and 000 Chinese employed in the
Cajon Pass at grading. The average grade
of this road will hardly exceed 10U feet to
the mile. Track-laying will commence
sometime in .Inly, and the company ex
pects to be running through trains by Jan
uary 1. 188 G. General Manager A. A. Rob
inson, of the A. it 1., accompanied by his
Chief Engineer and one or two others,
arrived herein a private car quite unex
pectedly recently. Mr. Robinson has been
mi a tour of inspection over the several
roads of which bis company has control.
ll is stay was short, departing as quietly as
he came. .1. X. Victor, the genial Superin
tendent of the California Southern, accom
panied Mr. Robinson from Daggett, taking
him across the -.sidy district, by private
conveyance, as far as San Bernardino, and
thence hither by rail.
I was one of a party who went on the
yacht Restless by invitation of Captain
Niles a few days since, with the object to
fish for barracuda. We leit our moorings
about • li :."i'J a. m. Fora while- our progress
up the bay ■■•,. - very slow, the wind being
so inconstant, at times leaving us in a per
fect calm. By 10 o'clock; however, we were
Hying over the water in gallant style, and
thus we sped along until we were some
miles put on the grand old ocean, i never
saw so many geese and ducks. The geese
were of the brant variety, and the finest
citing in the market. One of our party had
with him a very line shotgun, and for a
long time I tried to capture a brant, but
to approach within shooting distance was
impossible. I kept my patience manfully,
until finally, patience "ceasing to be a vir
tue, I said that there was nothing nicer
than " goose stuffed with sage and onions I
— when you once get the goose."' At 11:1')
a. m. we were well out in deep water, and
sailing with great force. Lines were now
■■•i ready — eight in all. Our bait consisted
of .■' piece of white rag securely fastened
round the hook. When all was in readi
ness the Captain gave the command to
heave our lines, and they were out in an
instant and we were
' :.: [NO 108 B \i:l; \' i in.
Each one was watching closely, and hop
ing for the honor of catching the first fish.
A fish was seen to jump from the water
some distance from our hooks, and tbo
Captain remarked that we would soon have
our fun. All were anxious and trembling
with excitement, when suddenly one deaf
ening ye!!, like the cry of a war-whoop
from a hundred Indians, broke from the i
party. " They bite," " Pull r;uiek."' " Look
out for your line there," " Whew," "Ain't
we catching them!" and many other ex
clamationa of excitement were heard min
gled together. Aft era few minutes, all settled
down to folid work, and in one hour's time
we had hauled in 185 barracuda, and some
mackerel. One of the party caught a fine
salt-water salmon. It weighed ]!»i pounds.
and lie thought it was a young whale. We
now changed our course, and were soon
homeward bound. At -i p. m. we were on
shore, each with a line barracuda, dressed
and ready for the pan. A vote of thanks
■a..- tendered Captain Jules, and all agreed
that a more exciting or a finer day's sport
had never beenj enjoyed by any of the
party.
We have in our midst an old-time Sacra
mentanby name of Warren Wilson. He
says he has come to stay, and lias shown
that disposition by purchasing the Ban
Diego Sun, which he lias changed from a
morning to an evening paper. Mr. Wilson
is an intelligent, wide-awake gentleman,
and a thorough business man. 1 cannot
see why he will hot meet with success, and
I hope "he will. Yours truly.

THE CHURCH WALKING WITH THE
WORLD.
The Church and tr.e World walked far apart,
On the ..-hanging shores of time i
The World was singing a giddy song,..
And the Church a hymn sublime.
" Come, give me your hand," cried the merry
World.
" And walk with me this way :"
But the pood Church hid. livr snow; hand,
And solemnly answered " Xav,
I will not Rive you my hand at all,
And I will not walk with you :
Your way is the way of endless .loath :
Your words are all untrue."
'• Nay, walk with me a little "-pare,
Said the World, with a. kindly air :
" The road I walk is a pleasant road,
Ami the sun shines always there : .
. Your path is thorny and rough and rude,
And mine is broad and plain ;
My road is paved with flowers and gem*,
And yours with tears and pain.
The s£v above me is always blue ;
No want, no toil I know ;
The sky above you is always <i^vk ;
Your' lot is a lot of woe. .
My path, you see. Is a broad, fair pat".,
And my' gate is lush ami wide-
There is room enough for you and for me
To travel side by side.
Half shyly the Church approached the World,
And gave him her hand of snow :
The old World grasped it and walked along,
.Saving, in accents low,
" Your dress is too simple to i lease my '.aste ;
I will give you pearls to wear.
Rich velvets i:!:d silks for your graceful form,
And diamonds to deck your hair."
The Church looked down at hr; plain white
robes, ■-**.!
And then at the dazzling World, ' '".**"
And blushed as she saw his handsome lip
With a smile conteruptuouseurled.
" I will change my dress for a costlier one,"
Said the Church, with a smile and grace :
Then her pure, white garments drifted away,
And the World gave in her place
Beautiful satins and shining silks,
And roses end gems and pearls ;
And over her forehead her bright hair fell,
Crisped in a thousand curls.
"Your house is plain," said the proud old
World,
■• I'll build you one like mine :
Carpets of Brussels, and c mains of lace,
And furniture ever so fine."
So he built a costly and beautiful house—
Splendid ii was to behold :
Her son- and her beautiful daughters •!■■••. '.
there, ;■-•■•■;
Gleaming in purple and gold ;
! And fairs and snow! in the balls were held.
And the World and his children were there :
And laughter and music and feasts were heard
In the place that was meant for prayer.
Shu had cushioned pews for the rich and great
To sit in their pomp and pride, -
While the poor folks, clad in their shabby - lits,
.Sat meekly down outside.
The angel of mercy Qew over the Church,
And whispered, " I know thy sin ;"
I The Church looked back with a sign, ami longed
To gather her children in.
But some were off in the midnight ball,
And some were off at the play,
And some were drinking in gay saloons ;
.So she quietly went her way.
The sly World gallantly said to her,/
" Your children mean no harm —
Merely Indulging in innocent sports."
Ko she leaned on his proffered arm.
And smiled, and chatted, and gathered!
As she walked along with the World :
While millions and millions of deathless souls
To the horrible pit were burled.
" Your preachers art; ton old and plain,"
i Said the gay old World with a sneer :
" They frighten my children with dreadful tale?,
Which I like not" for them to hear ;
They talk or brimstone and tire and pain,
i And the horrors of endless night :
They talk of a place that should not be
Mentioned to ears polite.
l I will send you some of the better stamp,
Brilliant and gay and fast,
Who will tell them that people may live as they
list,
And go to heaven, at last,
i The Father is merciful, and goud,

l> Father i- mer iful, jp-eat .ir.'": good,
'enderand tr c and kind ;
you think he would take one child to heaven
.lid leave the rest behind?"
j So he filled her house with gay divines,
Gifted and great and learned :
And the plain old men that preached the Cross
Were out of the pulpit turned.
'■ You give too much to the poor," said the
Far more than you ought to do :
If the poor need shelter and food and clothes.
Why need it trouble you .'
i Go, take your money and buy rich robes,
! Ami !■•:■■- ami carriages fine,
And pearls .:ud jewels and dainty food,
And the rarest and costliest wine.
I My children they dote on all such things,
i And if their love yon would win,
You must do OS they do, and walk in the ways
That they are walking in.'J
j The church held tightly the stringsofthi purse
And gracefully lowered her bead,
And simpered, " I've given too much away :
I'll do, sir, as you have said."
; So the poor were turned from her door in scorn
And she heard not the orphan's cry :
And she drew her beautiful robes aside,
As the widows went weeping by.
The ins of the World and the sons of the enure!
Walked closely hand and heart.
And only the Master, who knowetl all,
Could tell the two apart.
Then the Church sat down at livr ease i nd said.
•■ I am rich, and in goods increased :
I have need of nothing, and naught to do
But ■■ laugh and dance and feast.
The sly World heard her, and laughed in his
sleeve.
And mockingly said aside,
" The Church is fallen — the beautiful church—
And her shame is her boast and pride ! "
The angel drew near to the Mercy .Scat,
And Whispered in sighs her name :
And - ■ thi ir anthem of rapture hushed,
And covered their heads with shame.
And a voice came down, through hush of heave n,
From Him who -,i; on the throne,
" i know thy work, and how then 1,.-,-: »aid
I am rich, and hast not known,
T;:;it thou art naked and poor and blind.
And wretched before my face :
Thus from my presence I cast thee out,
And blot thy name from its place!"

Grant ■•-. the S: KREJJI En.— A friend
of mine, while talking of General Grant's
illness, said : " The General is a wonderful
; man. He often speaks volumes i:> :< single
; sentence. ! remember that on one occa
i sion a rather cheeky individual was pest
ering him with questions about son. c ■■;' his
1 campaigns! and the results not being to his
taste, finally told the General that it was
■ a common criticism passed upon him that
; he had the soldiers, the money and the
i power, and that any man of ordinary ca
■ pabilities would have succeeded with the
j same opportunities. Grant slowly rolled
his cigar from one side of his mouth to
the other, and replied quietly: 'I have
heard of these criticisms before. There is
only one answer that I can make. General
1 Lee surrendered to me. He didn't sur
render to any other Union General, al
! though i believe that there were several
efforts made in that direction before ! as

WHERE DID LIFE BEGIN ?
An Interesting ; Discussion of a Very In- 1
teresting Subject.
President Warren, of Boston, thinks he
has succeeded in solving the problem as to
where animal and' vegetable life com
menced: His. researches, he says, have led
him to fix that palr.^ftt {he North Pole.
The doctor sustains his theory with much j
energy and with a surprising array of evi
dence, and this in turn throws much light
on the most vital of. the current problems
of biology, terrestrial physics, ancient cos
mology, comparative mythology, primeval
history, scientific anthropology, and He- ;
brew and ethnic traditions, lie claims to ,
have given to the work the .study of many !
years, He says the poles were iirst fitted
: to produce life, which consequently com
menced at the northern and southern ex
tremities of the globe, developing iiule- [
pendently. but to a certain extent corrc- j
spondingly, since conditions were similar. '
By the secular cooling of the globe the j
poles ultimately became unfitted to sup- i
port life, and such forms as did not perish ;
in the changes of the earth's surface slowly '
migrated toward the equator, changing in
the course of aces, and ultimately giving .
rise to a fauna, which, over most of the •
globe, consists of a mixture of northern i
and southern forms.
Many facts derived from the northern
hemisphere lend support to this theory, '
and the southern hemisphere has recently i
added new facts which tell in the same i
direction. The animals of the northern •
hemisphere are still almost identical
throughout the world's circuit. The same ,
families and even the same specif- of mam- ,
mals and birds are common to the north of i
the Old World and of the New. To give a I
few examples, the elk or moose, the rein- j
deer, the beaver, the lynx, the wolf, the fox '<
of Europe and Asia, are specifically identi- j
cal with those of America. The bison of
America is closely allied to the aurochs of [
Europe: the brown bear of Europe to our j
own grizzly, the stag to the wapiti or elk. |
and so on. j
Remains of mammals now regarded as '.
tropical, such as the elephant, hiDpopota- I
ruus, rhinoceros, hyena, lion, etc., are com- j
mon in the tertiary strata of temperate and 1
even arctic regions. This is proof of j
southern migration when climate changed. '
In, the southern point of South America, in !
desolate Patagonia, have been found mam- ,
malian remains which tend to show that ;
the tertiary fauna of Patagonia preceded ;
that of the Argentine republic, to the north i
of it. Forms of the pampas are there, but j
are somewhat more generalized, as though ,
older. Hooker has shown that seventy- j
seven species oi plants are common to :
South America, New Zealand and Tasma- j
nia. A small family of fishes | ''•.'■ !
and the marsupialia kangaroos, wombat, j
opossum, etc. are Australian and South ;
American. :.. i
A sort of submarine plateau connects '■
Staten Island (part of the Terra del Fucgo !
archipelago) with South' Georgia and other i
antarctic lands, and it seems not unlikely j
that a great antarctic continent once exist- ■
ed, the remains of which are Australia, i
New Zealand; etc., on the one hand, and i
Patagonia on the other. In Australia the I
niarsapialia multiplied, and spreading '■
northward, mingled with the boreal fauna '
that had been driven southward. In South
America the marsupialia did not greatly
multiply, though they spread, after the up
heaval "of the Isthmus of Panama, into i
North America, where they are represented i
by the opossum. J
The edentata 'sloths, armadillos. ant
eaters and their relations) first appeared in
Patagonia in the miocene period, and
spreading northward, became the charac
teristic animals of South America. Eden
tates -the aard-vark or Cape ant-eaters, and
the pangolins or scaly ant-eaters) occur also
in Africa, which was probably once con
nected southward with the ancient antarc
tic continent.
In many eases the animals of northern
origin, which are the more numerous, can |
be distinguished from the southern, but in
other cases we cannot distinguish them.
since on the one hand, animals which na
turalists place in the same family on ac
count of resemblances '.'■> structure may
very possibly have had a distinct ancestry,
and on the other hand the northern forms,
which evidently predominate, have not
only varied greatly in the course of ages,
but have penetrated far toward the south
ern extremities of the continent*. As re-.
gards the Northern Hemisphere, the re
scmb! antes between the fishes, insects and
□ o lv ca of lie Old World and the New
are even more striking than those 'the
higher animals.
II« that wait* for an opportunity to do
much at once may breathe out his life in
idle wishes, and regret, in the last, his
useless intentions and barn zeal.

sician his suspicions, but the physician at once
ridiculed the idea; and refused to attend him
any longer. His son then mentioned Dr. ('. Mc-
Laiie's Yermifusc and asked him if be would
