Some xx-eeks ago a paragraph in the Monroe Looking Glass suggested that there must lie a considerable discrepan cy somewhere xvhen the estimated cost of the district court Tor the coming year was placed at so high a figure. However much the estimated amount, there is no compulsion to use any more than is actually needed. The following will explain itself, mid we give it without comment: CoLrMMCS. Neb., March Ifi, 1891. Ed. JorusAL: I take pleasure in handing you, as per request, a statement ot expenses of district court for the year 1810. This statement was prepared by the clerk from the records, and while I have not verified it myself I have no doubt of its correctness. From the rec ords it appears that court xvas in session 78 davs in 1890 at a cost of $1,696.:!1 as follows: Jurors' fees Fees of clerk and sheriff . . S 2,228 CO 676 7S A'X 00 l.Vi 00 100 00 Bailiffs Bar dockets Records and stationery Fees of at t'ys assigned by court Telephone ' Go 00 40 00 "3 oeac :k It has been a matter of satisfaction to me that the expenses of the court in this county have lieen less per year than in any county in the state, so far as my knowledge extends haxing the same amount of business. I am not. aware of any reason for the estimate of the lioard of supervisors for court expenses Tor this year, towit, $121. 000. It is probable the board included in this estimate costs or Iioardiug pris oners, rent or house Tor sheriff, and the fees of the latter as-jailor, janitor, etc., but theae are matters outside the juris diction of the court.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. ;iimii f the tand of SmtHkiHi and r'low rr Srrn by a foluwtm Cillxm. Mr. and Mm. J. S. Murdnck returned Thursday from their winter's sojourn in southern California. In a talk with him Monday we learned a great many items or interest, some of which we summarize: All the former Columbus people now re siding iu southern California are well, so far ns heard from. Messrs. Schutte and Smith are at Carlsbad, and Capt. Wads worth is at Eseandedo. The method of booming a city is to first build a large hotel, then a land oflice. and then sell lots. Now. the country is lieing 'boomed." A syndi cate will buy a large tract of land, nnd then sell it out in small tracts of ten acres and upxvard. People who went there when land was cheap and invested in ten to twenty acres, and planted it to fruit, could, after seven to ten years, hnve something to realize from no great surplus beyond a decent living, but, if the orchard was good, and the crop sure, fruit is a per ishable commodity, and no great price is realized, as a rule. As everylKxly expects to raise fruit, the man who sells nursery stock is aliout the only one xvho is making a big per centage on his investment. Mr. Murdock thinks it likely that no count ry in the world has a climate supe rior to that of southern California. A man with $1,000 has better chances of making money in Nebraska; if he has nothing but his own lalior, he it very much better off, here. It is a bad place for rheumatism, dur ing the wet season. Religious societies of all kinds are very numerous, for some reason or other; the salvation army parades the streets with drum and fife, tambourine and fiddle; the gospel mission also get into line, pray and talk; the Y. I. C. E. come on the streets und hold a preliminary meet ing, and invite the public in; spiritual ists have u hall in every city, and servi ces us regularly as any other of the organizations; (one of the Columbus people is a spiritualist and-says she has lately held conversations with two of the old. Columbus friends now iu the spirit world. Carlsbad has good, cool, soft water from a well that cost 00. (t is worth $100 an acre to break land. There is some laud (hard-pan) that, when dry, has to be blasted iu order to get space for planting trees. In rainy weather, if a hore gets off the lieaten road he may sink to the luidy into the mud. Mr. Murdock says that at Grand Island there is 110 snow. For 75 miles near Ogden the snow is aliont four feet deep, but outside of that stretch there is comparatively none. On the Rock mountains the cattle are grazing. Will Murdock is to be back iu April to stay. District C.iun. Stephen H. El wood v John M. Mac farlaud. Jury waive I. Tried to court.

Blooming spring is crowding upon lis, ami with it comes the busy beoson for all who wish to enjoy the luxury bfa home garden during the year. Aside 'from considerations of soil ami culture, a vital point for success is the choice of varieties and seed. Onr garden plants have, nearly all, developed varieties as a result of long cultivation, possessing 1 habits and traits which fit them dif ferently for different conditions. This fact should lie considered in making choice. A variety may fail in one situa tion, and succeed in another. Seed culture is a business in itBelf. Plants from well-develojied seeds, free from admixture and properly garnered, are earlier and stronger under the same conditions thnn those from stock grown pronnsciously among others, and per haps indifferently vitalized. The one tends to further development, the other towards decline ot qualities and vital deterioration. It will pay any one to spend the small amount it costs, in buying seeds ror the garden and flower beds, of responsible iersons making this a business and study. Much of the failure in our gar dens, flower lieds, and also in farm crops, can be traced back to imperfect, poorly developed seeds whose vital powers are on the decline, or which by admixture are moving backward towards the wild varieties from which they sprung.
