TiiBRBuppeare to be nothing io the
way of President Harrison giving th
country a very satisfactory administration.
Bis long eineiience In public sirvce
cbould. .bffi. sufficient gnltje for "his entire
protection.'. There Is one point that mpn
chosen to fill positions nl trust when patron
age Is to bidistributed omit or at least they
fornot to enforce it Just as soon as they
are seated political grants and office seek
ers almost demand that their individual
wants lie snpplied regardless of the better
, interests of the people. Now it la. for an
official to take, bis choice which is Ih
greater the people or the politician. TV
latter can, by the pnlllnis of wires, usnall)
nominate their tnan. but to elect him 1
another thing! thi n taking this view of i
the people must be the greatei. Im
President Harrison Brut be curtain that ap
plicants are qualified for the position
soutflit after, then make an equal distribu
tion and he win come out all right.
The Cabinet.
The President has selected a very able
corps of -dvlsers with the exception of the
IKtmitcr General. Wannamaktr. He Is
business ruin in a certain ,11 oe of traffic.
never having tiad any experience In state
matters, and whether he will he able to
master the tituHtionreuiaine to be soon.
The propriety of selecting doctors, minis
ters and business men to fill political po
sitions bus not met wlih success in this
couniry. The President has conferred
quite a high compliment on the people of
the east In selecting members hot the
itrvme west has just cause for grievance,
It is true that he stepped over the Mlv
siHsippi for a Secretary of the Interior,
but they Joiibtless feel that a majority ol
the United Stub s Is without a representa

A rrospectiujr. Tour, No. 8, by Our
Special Correspondent

1 ' SOUTHER CA1JPOHNU.
fell tor ol Taa Kxrssraiss:
' What Italy, with her warm and pleasant
skies, her flowery vales, ber sonny slope,
covered with green vineyards, her lofty
mounUlns, her balmy summer climute and
bine seas has been to the world of the
past. ' Southern California is destined to
be to the world of the future. Altboncb
I have read everything about Southern
California that I could find t really had
no correct Idea of it nntll I saw it myself.
Everything so different here no one cm
appreciate what this country is until her
skies shine above them and ber warm
flower-docked earth is beneath their feet.
Farmers harvest here every month In
the year. , Now they are picking oranges;
two long trains loaded with this fruit,
called "orange specials," leave every day
for the Eastern markets. ' It will take un
til June to ship the present crop. Then
fanners aie bringing in Iresh from the
fields strawberries, pears, potatoes, and
tomatoes. They cnt their alfalifa fields
every slity days and it produces from ten
to twelve tons of bay an acre per annum,
- worth sow $13 a ton. Br the time the
citrna Iruitcrop is gathered apricots and
peaches will be oe band ; these will be
succeeded by nectarines; apples and pears
lasting nntll December. In June the bir.
ky hay la ripe, and In July the barley and
wheat are ready for the reapers. The
first grapes are ripe in Jnne and the last
are good antil Thanksgiving. These are
raised for market, raslos, and wine. Grsjie
raisins are simply placed on woudn trays
between the vines and in t short time be
neath the perpetual sunshine are ready to
be packed for market. No artificial
dryer Is needed to cure any kind of fruit
here. The frnlt is picked from the trees
aad placed on long wooden platforms be
tween the rows and in fonr or five days is
taken np ready lor shipping and replaced
with another compliment
The canning industry is also carried on
very eitenelvely. Fruit is thus rendered
imperishable and can be transported to
the furthermost limits of the earth. Cali
fornia is a great importing state of the
necessaries of life and exporter of the
luxuries. She imports beet, bacon, lard,
bam, butter, cheese, and chickens. The
reason of this is the wonderful profits of
California fruits have set everybody wild
to go into that business, and producing
ggs at 80c and butter at 40c Is considered
to slow a way to accumulate wealth, al
though this is the best couutry for lb pro
duction ot both I have ever found, m all
seasons are summer and .cows feed twelve
months 'n the year on the gm grown
, valleys in ths mountains. fIowevvr,me
of the cattle men have commenced dairy
ing oo their ranches. Last week Mr.
Gird, owner of Cblno Ranah, sent his
compliment to S company of g.ct at the
Ontario Hotel, with an Invitation to visit
him at hi dairy. There was party t
'twenty toon made up and they el me
to join (hem. . They wors such a Jolly lot
ol people and had such large basket ;lc
tic that T accepted, a reluctantly an I
roald. A .b:inkr f f OnUrio, , filial t
man, had our partyln charge, and as we
irathered in at the Cblno dapot be slapped
me on the shoulder and said i "It looks
its though it was a go." u We boarded the
special car sent over lor us by Mr. Gird,
shohaa a railroad (all hta own) running
from point to point on his ranch. We
were soon rolling over Chiuo Ranch, a
rich valley (arm containing 46,000 acres,
worth $100 an acrs.or $4,000,000 We
nrrivi'd at a flower-embowered mansion
traong noble trees with broad Sn tzy ver
and and romantic arbored outbuildings,
ind as Mr. Gird appeared I was never
more surprised. Iiistcud of having on
overalls with one suspender and a mllklnu
Hlool in his bund he was drvssed in broad
cloth with a white tie, and looked as clean
and tat and good natured as the Methodist
miuimers thut stop at our house, "Woll,"
mid he, "I am glad you have come to see
us." lie lend the way into the "dairy
house" and started the "cream separator."
It is run by water power; water couiin.
through a pipe from an art' alan well turn
it small tiirbun wheel which gives the
separator 7.500 revolutions a niloute. The
milk is pound in this us fast as it come
irom the dairy ; the cream is allowed to
stand twenty-four hours, then churned b)
the Baine water power In a revolving
churn. Mr. Gird claims 30 per cent more
butter is made Iroui the milk by ibis pro
cess than by any other. This U the best
plan for butler making I ever saw. bo
simple and Inexpensive, only costing $500
lor ihe entire outfit, mking $30 worth ol
huttor every day in the year. How many
cows are you miming, oroiner uiru:
"Only 150 no ; when butter i high we
milk three or four huudied. There are a
thousand cows on the ranch, but the boy
rather let the calve milk them ; they con
aider the diiry of miner importance, as we
lmveow' 000 bur s and 8,000 head of
cattle." You have ibeep als i, I believe f
"Yes thereare several thousand back lu
the foothills. We shear In April ami
September." Wowereshon twoborsca
thai cost $10,000 each, and a fine mile
truck. The ladles spread the picnic din
ner In a shady retreat, und when the vin
had painted the west In crimson and gold
we all returned to Ontario feeling that ire
hud glory enough for one day.
GOLDEN WEDDING.
.There has probably passed no more in
teresting day In vbe lives of Mr. and Mrs.
E. W. Houghton, of Wellington, than that
of March 0th, 1889, when they celebrated
the (iltieth anniversary of their marrluae.
Among ihe fifty or more g iesU invited to
their borne, and tendering their congratu
lations, ten bad been present at their wedding-.
A son snd son-in-law had died on
the field, In the War ol Ihe Rebellion, but
the four remaining childten were at this
reunion ; the first occasion on which the)
were all at borne at one time Jiiice the
wedding of the youugest dangbtor four
teen years ago. Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Clif
ford and sons, of Wellington; Major A. C.
Uonehion, of Minneapolis, with bis wile
and danehter and two sons; Rev, and
Mrs. V. C. Randolph, of Pekln, 111, and
Mrs. Edith Buell, wife of Professor M. D
Buell, of Boston University, completed
the immediate tamily circle, with the ex
ception of Mr. Buell who could not be
spared from his college duties at this tirae
much to bis own and tbe regret of bis'
friends. Eiwln W. Iloughtoo and Eleanor
daughter oi Charles Daogherty were mar.
ried at the close of a cbur:b service in
Spencer, Ohio, by the Rev. James Brews
tor in 1839. They conquered the difficul
ties of pioneer life, making a comfortable
home and farm from a part of the forest-
covered tract of nearly 1500 seres for
which his father, Asa Iloughton, had ex
changed a cultivated farm and nice home
a Datavia, N. Y. .
Exoept a few years in Borea, When E.
W. Houghton, was financial agent of the
Raid win Institute, the family bourewasoo
that farm, until their removal to Welling
ton, thirty-two years ago. The pilnciple
on which the home was founded: to deal
justly and generously, to promote tbe
happiness ot sll who came within the
clrr.1 of its influence, devotion to each
other snd loyalty to God, accomplished Its
purpose, a happy borne. With a suffi
ciency ol material blessings, there has re
suited a rarer competence In tbe character,
acquirements and usefulness of their
children, a family endowment which
while it maketh rich "addelh no sorrow."
The sons snd daughters, native and ao-
quired, made honorable record In the
higher institutions of learning.'
Tbe oldest gnest at the "golden wedding"
as an uncle of Mrs. Houghton, Vr. Rich
ard Hendee,of Spencer.the only survivor oi
bis father's lamtly. Mr. Curtis Houghton,
of Diiltoo, who would have paired wiih
bim as a relative on tbe other side, was by
reason of bis 87 years deterred from ming
ling in rich festivities, though the picture
sent might have denied a decade or so of
bis acknowledged years. Lutber Hough
ton, of Emporis, Kan. ; George, of Oberlln ;
Dr. anf Mrs. Houghton, of Wellington;
Mrs. B. F. Pratt, of Huntington; Mrs. W.
W. Ross, ol Fremont; Mr. and Mrs. Wm
Dniigherty, of Gallon; Mrs. Colpctzer,
Lyman, Thomas, and Mr. and Mrs. James
Daugherty, of Spencer; Mrs. Z. Daugherty,
of Wellington; and Mitchell Daugherty ,of
Michigan, repreaented tbe families of
bribers tad listers. A few were detained
by 'personal or family Illness. The sug'
gest ioo of the cards of invitation, "Presents
not expected or desired," was considerably
ignored, snd beautiful and Valuable me
uiei.toe testified lo the thoughtful regard
of children,' relatives, friends snd tielgh
bor.i Mr. Uonghton said be "Had been
no! to being minded, better than that?
Notkiably onlquo ainong tbo gilts Was sn
iilustra'd volnrae,' binding, MnVmtS,
cover, all the work of loving bands wblcb
with brush and pen had wrought truly "A
thing of beauty" to be ua joy forever ." An
original poem by the son A, C. Houghtonj
read during tbe literary exercises without
hint of Its authorship, hud been transcrib
ed In quaint old script, and the text of tbe
verse lllust-atod on each written page In
water color, by Miss Myrs Twltcbell, of
Mansfield, assisted by her sister, Mrs. A.
C. Houglrton. From cover to' cover this
ws a charming piece of literary and ar
tist)) skill.
The Rev. W. C Dawson voiced the
fcclim.' of the company In hU congratula
tory remarks, adding some reflections
upon the world's progress in the half
century.' The host reviewed the Journey
by which he unJ his cherished wile hud
arrived at this eveuitul dny, the hopes,
ambitions, tender experiouces, gladness
and grief, underlying peace and domestic
happiness. Tho "alter dinner" toam
culled out responses as follows: "The
Log Cabin," recalling to mind humorous
experiences in the arly life ot Mojn
Houghton. "The Pioueer Itinerant'
brouuht out the fact that Rev. V. Cartright
Itaadolph wus a nauiesuke of the fam as
Peter Cartrlnht, who was a pastor of tbe
clergyman's father. He said that the old
tune MetbodiKt circuit-rider had need to
he strong, physically, and In character,
courageous and Intelligent, abreast of his
time, and an alilo disputant, as in matters
if controversy and public Intorest.his com
bined largely the duties of the pulpit,
press, and platform of to-day. The sub
ject of "The Pioneer Layman" was hap
pily relerred to by tho Rev. N. S. Albright.
Dr. Houghton gave an historic account ol
the Iloughlon family, with Its genealogy
nd sunie of ihe characteristic!, ot the im
mediate ancestors. "From "30 to '89 wss
ketclud in rhyme by a neighbor, Mrs. V
Wadsworth, and the Btory In verse, be
fore referred to, by Major Houghton, con
cluded the more formal ixerclsci ol (1y,
which was distinguished for its sociability,
its joyful greetings and its tender fare
wells, thus bimllnn auew the lies of kin
dred sod of friendship.
Deafness Can't Be Cured
bv local applications, ah they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. fhere is
only one way to cure Deafness, and ihni
is by constitutional remeaies. ueaineas
is caused by an inflnroed condition of Ihe
mucus lining of Ibe Eustachian Tube.
When thta tube getB tnnamea you nave s
rurubllnir sound or imperfect heifring, and
when It is entirely closed Deaf newt is the
result, and unlens the Inflamatlon can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, beannc will be destroy
ed forever; nine casesotitof ten are caused
by cataiTO, which Is nothing but an in
flamed condition of ibe mucus surfaces.
