The Ruin of the California Missions.
The ruin of the Missions was com
pleted by the American contest. The
few remaining Indians were speedily
driven or enticed away , for the rough
frontiersmen who came over the plains
knew nothing of the missionary friar
or civilized Indians ; they came here t
squat on public land and respected no
possession beyond 160 acres , and tha
only in the hands of one familiar will
the English language and modern weap
ons. None of the establishments re
tains its original character.
Where population has grown uj
around the site , as at Santa Clara , San
Francisco , and San Rafael , they became
parish churches. At other place
squatters took possession of them , ex
trading priest and mayor-domo impar
tially , and in more than one case even
the churches were sacrilegiously degrad
ed to the use of stables and the like. In
others many parts of the buildings were
demolished for the sake of the timber
tiles , and other building material they
afforded. John T. Doyle , in January
Century.
The people of Culbertson turned out
en masse to see it the water from
Frenchman river would run up hill
through the irrigating ditch that has
been dug to water a good portion of the
land in that vicinity. The old miracle
was performed in due time. The water ,
after a little hesitation , concluded to go
right up and the prophets of evil were
disappointed. Fact is that all irrigat
ing ditches and mining flumes appear
to the uneducated eye to run up hill.
The eye is deceived by the grade of the
natural water channel which appears to
it a plane , whereas it is always an in
clined plane , or there would be no cur
rent. The irrigating ditch certainly
runs up hill , granting that the- stream
from which it flows is running OB a lev
el. But it isn't running on a level , and
there is where the eye gets left. State
Journal.
It Means Muchly.
Work is progressing on a canal water
power for Culbertson. McCook is also
arranging to tap the Frenchman and
thus receive power. Why coulda't the
Culbertson canal be extended ? McCook
should get this water power by all
means. It means much. Hastings

"Society" Disappearing.
From Harper's Magazine.
In this democratic nineteenth century , "so
ciety. " in the old and aristocratic sense of the
term , is disappearing. People of certain class
and certain means do certain things at certain
times because other people of the same class
and the same means do likewise. There is a
universal tendency toward the equalization
of luxury and of the exterior manifestations
or refinement. Social habits are formed on
the models established by two or three great
centers of civilization , and all the life you find
elsewhere is a more or less palo reflection of
the real article. With the increase of facili
ties of communication originality of all kinds
decreases , and the search for local color be
comes more and more hopeless.
EPOCH.
The transition from long , lingering and pain
ful sickness to robust health marks an epoch
n the life of the individual. Such a remarka-
jle event is treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has been at
tained is greatfully blessed. Hence it is that
so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters.
So many feel they owe their restoration to
health to the use of the great alterative and
tonic. If you are troubled with any disease
of kidneys , liver or stomach of long or short
standing you will surely find relief by use of
Electric Bitters. Sold at 50 cents and SI per
bottle at A. McMillan's drug store.

"Some Good Place to Go To. "
From the New York Ledger.
We often receive letters from discontented
people who want to know "some good place to
go to" where.they can find everything to sui
them. The search after such a place is. of
course , vain. It is doubtful if anyone ever
found contentment by looking after it in a
change of locality. The fact is , a man must
grapple with the circumstances which sur
round him. and "conquer a peace , " or else go
without it. Contentment depends on the state
of the mind ; and it , is no use to try to run
away from a discontented mind , because the
mind always goes along. Men have sought to
escape trouble In that way for ages , and have
always failed. After all their changes of resi
dence in searchof contentment , they have one
after another come to the same conclusion :
"Very , very vain , my weary search to find
That bliss which only centers m the mind. "
