Yet Alpine county is in the amo congressional district as Lo3 Angeles , and the Voters in Los Angeles may frequently have to await the returns of its election before they know who is to represent - sent them at W'ashington. The votilig register of Alpine county con- acres sultablo for farming purposes In the whole 755 square miles of Its territory. The population of the county Is less than t350 , anti of these only about 100 lIve in families , the remainder living lonely liveR In mountaiii cabins. The only town or : vlilago In the county Is Mnrkleeviile. the county seat. whose population is but 143 Pcrson. There is but one doctor in the county , and hut one barber and ono law- yer. There nra two nwrchiants , nine pro- fcssional gamblers , four barrooms _ , two potomCeS and one hotel within thin boundaries - daries of tim 'cyliolo county.

Assessing Is a serious job in Alpine county. Sometimes the assessor rlks his life In getting to a ranch or mine. Stories are told of instances where that official , fearing to endanger his neck in getting to certain ranches , had crawloil up to the highest mountain peak and looked down on them in order to assess them. Residents up there cannot dodge paying poll tax. because - cause they are all known. Taxes on real estate are hard to collect In some cases , because - cause , when the land is offered for sale by the county , nobody will bid It ln and should somebody. do so , the rancher would Just. move over on to another section. Years ago Alpine county was the scene of extensive mining ojierations. Eastern cnpltaiiats lost a great amount of money In gold mid silver mines , and in the paimlest ( lay the county rang the pickax of the miner and the thunder of the large quartz iiiiiis echoed from canyon to canyon. In these days Marklecvihlo numbered about 2,000 souls. It has twice been ilavastateti by fire , and altogether shows few signs of its former prosperity. Ia 1S72 a company of Naw York capi- .

The character of the hardy mountaineers Who live in cabins far removed from the county highways is sbowii by an experience ot the assessor last year.

If one happened to be in Markicevihle anti saw a frightened hog running like a cyclone , its eyes hanging out , its tail curled up like a corkscrew and Its whole being indicative of an ovcrpowerin desire to get in out at the wet somewhere , one need have no appre- liension , for not far behind and surely gain- lag on the bog one % lht find a rattlesnake gliding along , his head raised six inches above the ground anti his glittering eyes fixed on the flying hog. The snakes do not eat the hogs after they kill them , for even an Alpine county rattle- nako has not capacity enough to swallow down anything larger than a rabbit. They simply seem to have an uncoiitroiinblo'nnd deadly hatred of swine , and kill them be. cause they hiato them. 2'ill'lllt CAlLUS TO % ADiht.

The range of the honey bee Is but little understood by the masses , says the Ihalti. more Anierican , many supposing that bees go for miles in quest of nectar , while others think that they go only n short distance. It may be curious to many to underatnii.l how any one can toll how far tIm bro may fly , but this is simple when understood. Years ago , when the Italian bees were first introduced in the United States , these bees , having marks different to the common bpea already here , were easily distinguished , and after any beekeeper had obtained thto Italian - ian bees they could be observed and their range eatdiy noticed. If bloom Is identiful iienr where the bees are located tiiy will not go very far , perhaps a mile in tango , hut it bloom is senrco they may go lIve miles. Usually about three miles Is as far as they may go profitably. Ilees have been known to go as far as eight miles in a straight line. crossing a body of water that distance to land. It is wonderful how the little honey bee range go so far from its borne and ever hInd its way back to its oivii particular hive. If , while the little bee is out of ita home , or hive , the hive should ho removed sonic ten or twenty feet , according to the surroundings - roundings , when it came back to where its home was first located it would be hopelessly - lessly lost. If its home was in an open 51)0cc , with iio other objects close , it might find its way hionie , but , even should the hive be moved only a few feet , many of the bees would get lost. So to move a hive. if done in the winter time , it would ho all right , hut if in the summer time It shoaid be ilono after dark , or when the bees are not flying , 01111 even then the bees should ho stirred up sonic and smoke blown In at the hive entrance and a board or wino object placti.l in front of the hive so that the bees in coming out may mark their now location. I3ee , no doubt , nrc guided by s'ght , antI also by sense of smell. They are attracted by the color of bloom , as , If they are at work on a certain kind of bloom , they are not likely to leave that particular kind of bloom for any other as long as they can find tbat kind. Again , bees are often attracted to sweets by 1helr , souse of siiicll , for they will go after sweets , eveti if in the dark , if close. however , any kind of sweets may be placed in glass in phalli sight , but if covered , so as not to emit niiy smell , the bees will take no notice of them. teers , Ralph , who is only 16 years of ago , went to the recruiting otlice to enlist , but svas rejected Oil account of a slight physical - ical defect , lie grieved a great deal , espe- daily when lie saw the Kansas troops of the command of Colonel Lindsey en route to Camp Alger. lie went up to thin lower house of congress to ask his father as a special favor to use lila influence at the War department in bile behalf. Ito was the only son and Mrs. Ihotkln , who was ill , hinted to see him go to war , so young. Mr. Ilotkin , seeing that the boy was very anxious to enlist , called a carriage anti both of them rode direct to the White Ihouse , Mr. llotkin explained the situation to Preal- dent McKiniey. who after questioning thp young mao closely said that ho would sos- peed the regulations in order to give such a bravo young patriot a chance to servo his country.

Ziir , McKinley called the War dopartinont up by telephone , and , after getting thin adjutant - jutant general of the army , he said ; "Cor- bin , I have a young Jaybawker hero that wants to fight for his country ; assign him to Colonel Lindsey's regiment , at Camp Alger , without examInation.

One is a sleeping tent tweuity-eigiit fcet long , with walls six feet highu and a roof with six feet pitch. It is made of linen. The other two are marquee tents of smaller size , one with wails , the other a shelter tent open emu the sides. That tIm tenting uuinterial of revolutionary clays was of good stuff is lroveil by the excellent condition of these tents which sheltered the great commander through all his severe campaigns.

Not far from these Washington relics is a cohleetloul of nienentoes of General Jack- son. t the foot of a hifcsizo painting of "Old hickory" is folded lila military coat of blue with Inass buttons , lace trimmings , high collar anti gold epaulettes. The gar- nient was worn by hini at the battle of Not Orleauls , January 8 , 1811 , when with 2,100 AmerIcan militia ho overcame the British troops of seasoned regulars 5,000 strong. Ilelow the coat is his case of pistols , looking strong antI ready as If they had been rubbed and oiled daily inco Jackson - son last fired them at the foe. They nrc stout flint-hocks of large bore and substnn- that grip , such as one aught fancy that a warrior of Jackson's temperament would select. Close at mmii are two small flint-lock pistols taken from the llritish at Now Or- leans. It the difference in size between the British lIstOla and those of General Jackson - son obtained as to all tIm other weapons used by the Ihritlsli anti the Americans , it ill small wonder that Jackson defeated tim redcoats. Not far away tiucro is a sword whIch was carried by Captain Seth Brett Thorn- ton of the Second Dragroomus. who struck the first blow iii the Mexican war at Cas- attn and who fell in the last attack on the City of Mexico. To go back a bit , mention should be made ot the old service-worn canteen carried through the revolution by John Paulihing , ono of the three captors of Major Andre. It is of metal with a cork stopfde , is about two-thirds of a foot long and nearly four inches in diameter. The label does not say so , but it Is presumed tiuuzt the canteen was for water , though It Is known that tIm American soldiers in those days like some of other times were not averse to an ocea- sionni flavor of applejack in their ivater- casks. After a glance at a broad yellow sash worn by General Siuerman at Atlanta amid criticised since then as to its cut by the residents of that city , one spies two very interesting relies of tIm rebellion.
