IRETON'S BRIDE.In 1851 Lieutenant Vane Ireton of the

British corvette Tigress, then at anchor inHavana, heroine acquainted withSenor Cor-dova, a Spaniard— a middle-aged person of"rather forbiddiug appearance, who oftenfrequented one of the taverns uear the bar-ber lauding.

This man, who seemed to take a greatlikingto Ireton, at length prevailed on him

•;• to visit him at his hotel.'1heie the young officer was introduced to

one of the liveliest young women he hadever seen— the Spaniard's daughter a tall." 'queenly girlof IS, with a voice of rich music

'cud a form undulating in movement like awave of the sea. Over the low, while fore-*" head the black hair was smoothly partedaud, being railed up in shining coils behind,

".it revealed the beautiful shape of a head' .poised ou a neck of matchless contour andgrace.

•\u25a0''\u25a0\u25a0'.

Ireton was charmed by this bewitching\u25a0

'

siren. Bay after day lie procured leave of- absence of bis commander that ho might seelit never, however, mentioning a wordabout his visits or the beautiful girl to hisshipmates.

1he influence obtained over by Bella—the inline of tins girl—was great, aud atlength lie asked her to be his wife."

Tell me what yon wouldsacrifice for me-.if1should consent?" said fli-, tossing backfrom her lace her hair, which had becomedisarranged in his embrace.

"All!"he answered—"

riches, life and—"Her brilliant gaze was looking down into

his very soul, and her beauty intoxicatedhim."

Well '.''' she said as he paused."Andeven honor I"was the answer.Triumph lighted her looks.' "

Then take me," sire said withcharmingnaivete and abandon, throwing herself,warm and fluttering, into bis arms; "lorthis is love1"

When the term of his leave of absencehad expired Ireton returned not to the

_*-\u25a0--. .ihe est day came and passed with no

better result The young man was stillmissing.

What I.l*l become of him? A vigilantsearch war, instituted, hut without avail.As his visits had been made at night no per-son hud seen him enter the hotel whereSin:*r Cordova lodged.

A week passed iv fruitless continuationof the search for Ireton, when the Captainreceived news which compelled him at onceto leave Havana.

From the Malta— schooner which hadbeen lyingin the harbor, but which hadlately sailed— a man hud deserted a fewdays before, and this person now informedtits captain of the Tigress that the vessel«as ,islaver.

As the Captain of the corvette bad ordersto overhaul ull such lawless cruisers, he atoi.ee set sail,«greatly to the delight of hisofficers, whose ardor, however, was a littlediminished by the diappearance of Ireton,who had been a favorite.

Various conjectures were formed about\u25a0 the missing man," some of the Ulcers think-ing be bad met an untimely end by acci-dentally tailing off the deck in the dirk andkern drowued.

Weeks pnssed before the slaver was"sighted." Allsail was crowded inchase,but a heavy gale then came, with a liliescloud of scud, widen soon hid the schoonerfrom view.

A month passed ere she was again seen,. this time off the coast of Africa, near Guinea.As she was olf a lee shore, the Captain of

the Tigress doubted not he could compel hereither to heave to or run on the rocks.

liemaneuvered so as to keep her betweenhim and the coast, a.'.d when within gun-r.i {_: -, toward nightfall, perceiving thai shewas kept obstinately **vher course, he triedthe ell cl of several shots from his bow-

chasers..As the smoke from the guns cleared the

c rvetto's people beheld the sl.iver healingpasta towering roc*,, beyond which thereevidently was absy He: bow, black hullami raking masts were tncs scieened fromeight, hut the corvette now feltsure of herj-rize, which bad been compelled to enterthe bay.

Two cotters were lower?*], well manneditharmed Bailors, under charge of a lieu-

tenant. 11,.1 bo hour's bard gullinglight them to the bay, now lighted by a

lull111-.011, but, to his siirpiise, lie could dis-• cover no blgn of the slaver.What had become of her?

Had -be glided into some other hidingplace near— some other inlet or bay'? Toa-sure himself on this point the young offi-cer mounted a loftyrock ami looked abouthim. His positiou afforded him a view ofevery hay and inlet in the vicinity, but the. vessel «hs out to be seen..Tie puzzled Lieutenant returned aboardwit*i tnls singular news for the Captain,-K.h-1, early iv the morning, went to the bay. to seek ,isolution ef the mystery.

Tlieie was not a breath of air stirring,while the surface of the water Was asunroll]as glass.

The crew pulled hither and thither, butnothing to afford a clew to the strange dis-appearance of the schooner was discovered,until they stopped nulling, and the water,. which had been broken into ripples aboutthe boat, subsided.

Then 1,11 exclamation broke from the cap-tain, as he pointed down into the cleardepths, where revealed, lying uuder thesurface on the bottom of the bay, and farover on her beam ends, was the schooner.Every shroud and spar, every intricaterope and chain, was distinctly revealed"

there under the water, where now a gala-colored and silvery fish, some of.them of• strange, uncouth proportions, darted fre-quently about the yards and booms, or went

\u25a0 in and out of the holes of the shining, pol-ished capstan.

As the seamen still gazed they beheld,brought suddenly to view by the steady butinvisible undercurrent, two human forms,;which tho drooping mainsail had hitherto

concealed. There they were, locked ineachother s embrace— a man and a young girl,swaying tcand fro under the sea; held nearthe deck of the sunken craft by meaus orcoils of rope. in which their persons wereentangled as in the folds of a serpent.

-twos a strange si_:ht to see them there-under the water, the girl's dark hair stream-rig fur nut from her bead, which reposed onthe neck of tne man, retaining even ivdoathhis clasp of the fair form, which be had evi-dently endeavored to savo when the vesselwent down. • ...

Two skillful divers among the boat's mensoon brought lho two forms to the surface.\u25a0ben exclamations of surprise and horror-• were heard, for the body of the dead manwas now recognized as that of Vane Ireton,

• so long missiug from the Tigress.As tne spectators gazed on the Lieutenant

-and the girl—beautiful even In death— theycould only guess at the fearful truth thisdiscovery revealed, but toward noon, halfof the slaver's crew being captured ashore,among the number; Captain Cordova, thisman made fullexplanation.

Bella bad consented to marry Ireton, andbad persuaded him to desert the corvetteami go away with her and her father aboardthe slaver, acting as Cordova's first officer.

\u25a0 ,1.too lieutenant had been surprised to hear. that the schooner Malta was a slaver andCordova captain, but haviug consented tomake any sacrifice -even that of his honor-furBella he would not refuse her request

and after having been married by a Spanishpriest he repaired with her aboard theschooner, which sailed next day.

*• . The cause of the slaver's sinking had beenone of the shots from the corvette, which

J crashing through her counter, had plowed a-hole through the bottom. The captaiu hadatonee put into the bay, his vessel goingdowu five minutes later with such sudden-ness that onlyhalf the crew hud been ableto save themselves. The rest, who wero-" below after the valuable*, were carried un--der with the doomed craft, which was alsodestined to be the coffin of Ireton and his.beautiful wife, who, while running up fromthe cabin, were caught In a part of the run-ning rigging, which held them fast to the

\u25a0 doomed vessel.— Selected.A New Trial Granted.

QUITE A CONTRAST.

Fruit and Flowers Here, Snowand Ice at Hie East.

What Can Be Found in Our Local Markets To-

Day-A Great Profusion of Everything

Needed by the Housewife.

A young English lady who arrived heroabout six years ago from the old country tovisit some friends, after being in San Fran-cisco a month remarked earnestly that shedid not like the ways of the people ;theywere so unlike the English, you know; theclimate was beastly (it was in the summertime, when the stion? afternoon winds wereblowing), and that she should return homeat the first opportunity, as there was noclimate like that of dear old England.In about one year after making the re-

marks the young lady was married to ayoung business man here, and last July shewent back to England to visit her old home..

Ina letter received from her a few daysago she says: "The weather Is and liasbeen terrible here, and it is so hard to getthe things Ibecame accustomed to in Cali-fornia and that we considered necessaries.Here they are considered the greatest luxu-ries and can only be bought by the wealthy.No grapes, no fresh fruit of any kind, noflowers, and just fancy salmon half a crowna pound and crabs half a crown apiece.The only vegetables we can get are Brusselssprouts. Oh, "What wouldn't Igive for a bitof California climate IIleave hereon Feb-ruary 7th for San Francisco, and ifIgetthere safely willnever leave it again."

OUR GLORIOUS CLIMATE.Tho youug lady mentioned is not the only

one who would like just at present to enjoytin; blessings of the glorious climate of Cali-fornia. -Not from England alone, but fromallparts of Europe coma reports of unprece-dented cold weather, of a dearth of provis-ions, of starvation, of sufferings of homeless,hungry poor, of misery and distress. Fromthe Eastern States comes news of stormsand blizzards and washouts, of trains beingdelayed by snow-banks, and of accidentscaused by the severe stormy weather.

What a great contrast that is to the glori-ous climate of California. The term hasrather a chestnntty flavor, but though old itis ever new, and has been frequently usedlately by residents here as they read anddiscussed tlie weather reports from the Eastand silently sympathized with their brethrenon the other side of the Rockies.

Here, all through the winter, if thnt namemay be given to the last three months, theweather lias been mild anil pleasant; morelike late spring or early summer than in-ter. The weather has had its effects on theproducts of tho soil, and never before per-haps at this time of the year has there beensuch a profusion and variety of provisions,fruits una flowers, and in fact all the essen-tial good things of this life as there is to-day.

IN THE MARKETS.On a visit being made to the principal re-

tail markets yesterday it was found thatthey were all supplied with goods for lhousual Saturday trade. In the vegetablestalls there were the usual large stocks ofgreen stuns such as chives cress, celery,Cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, radishes, pep-pers, etc., which are inseason all the yearround and fluctuate but littlein price.

Here were shown new potatoes, just upfrom Los Angeles, which were selling fourpounds for a quarter. "Itwould be a treatfor an Easterner to be transported here sud-denly and take a trip through the market,"said the dealer. "Besides the new potatoeswe have sweet green peas from Los Angeles,12% cents a pound, aud string beans fromthe same pl-tce. They are _!"> cents a pouud.Then we have fresh summer squash, whichis 25 cent*, and lush tomatoes, which areb_ to 1254 cents a pound.

"Here we have mushrooms. They arecultivated and retail for from "J cents to Sla pound. Then to-day we received newrhubarb from *s m Leaudro. Itsells for 35'cents a pound now, but willsoon be cheaper.We have also artichokes and gem squashand swei t potatoes from Merced. Appara-gus is 75 cents a pound." .

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.''We have lots of fruitof all kinds," said

the fruit-dealer, pointiug to his fine display.""Pineapples, oranges, apples, pears, man-goes, cranberries, limes, lemons, bananas

—anything you want. To-day we received afine lot of Ferrara grapes from Santa Cruz.They are 15 cents a pound."

At the florist's stall flowers were seen ingreat profusion. There were camellias, cin-erarias, frisias, China primroses, caila lilies."Chrysanthemums," said the dealer, "areyet In bloom iv the open air; ruse.-,, hya-cinths, California popples are yet in bloom.Isaw au early flowering almond inbloomthis morning, and we have lots of pausicsand violets.

MEATS, rOULTUY, ETC.Atthe butchers' stalls meats of all kinds

were still lound to be dear, first-class cutsetbeef being SO cents a pound. • .!.... * "

Eggs and oilier dairy produce was foundto be selling at the same prices as lastweek. •\u25a0 »

\u25a0 Poultry is very plentiful, and the stallsln the market- specially devoted to thatbranch of business were found loaded downwithpoultry of all kinds, ducks, geese, hire,rabbits, turkeys, etc. Wild game, 100, isvery plentiful and cheap.

Altogether, perhaps, there is no city inthe world where, at this time of the year,the markets are so well stocked with such avariety of ill., necessaries and luxuries, andselling at suh cheap rates as they are inSan Francisco to-day.

APPLES CAME MIGHT1' HIGH.Dr. .J. R. Card well's AiitlK-*.-* Contains

Some Very Interesting Matters.Some very interesting information con-

cerning the early history of fruitculture inOregon, and ti.e fabulous prices obtainedfor the product of the firstorchard*, is con-tained in the address of Dr. J. IJ. Caldwell,President of the Oregon State HorticulturalSociety, which he delivered at a recentmeeting of that body.

Ho recites that itwas in the summer of1817 that .Henderson Lewelling of lowabrought across the plains several hundredyearling grafted trees— pear, cherry,plum, prune and peach, and several varie-ties of grapes and berries. To successfullytransport them thoy wero placed in soil intwo large boxes made to fita wagon-bed.They were carefully attended to aud watereduntil they were safely planted on the bankof the Willamette, near the present villageof Jdilwaukie, Clackamas County. Thiswas the first Oregon fruit orchard, andreally the nucleus of the great fruit Interestswhich are now such a source ofprofit to thehorticulturists of the State. A WilliamMeek, who brought a seek of apple seedsfrom the East, termed a partnership with-Mr. laewellin-r, and together they started anursery in 1818. The next season yearlingtrees sold at from 7,0 cents to 81 each, andHie nurserymen had more customer, thanthey could supiilv. -" .

After a time Mr. Lewclling's orchard be-gan to bear fruit, which. Dr. Caldwell says,was delicious and brought exceedingly highprices, $1 per pound being paid for the firstapples sold. The first box ofapples broughtto Portland sold for 875— 0r Sl per apple lor

oric purses, bid high lor Oregon surplusfruit,and in 1893 a lew boxes of apples, se-curely bound with strap-iron (as was thecustom iv those days to protect tho fruitfrom thieves), v,ere shipped to ban Franciscoand sold at •*'!per pound*. In1804, 500 bush-els of apples were shipped to the GoldenGate, the sale uf which netted the shippersfrom {.150 to £'_' per pouud. In 1855, COOObushels were sold in the same market atfrom 520 to $30 per bushel. :Young treeswere now bearing handsomely, and the ex-port ofapples in IS."!, was 20,000 boxes. Thisyear one box.of Esopus Spiizenberg paidtlie shipper a net profit of SIX), and threeboxes of Winesaps were sold in rortland for.8102. From this time on to 180!) the fail andwinter .shipments bi-monthly to San Fran-cisco per steamer were from: 'MM to 6000boxes. This season began tho end of highprices, the drop being constant, with but oc-casional variations until the present time.

signee of a discharged police officer namedPiieli, brought suit against City and CouutyTreasurer Iteis to enforce him, by writ ofmandate, to pay him S-~0, being the amountthat his assignor had paid intothe "LifeandHealili Insurance Fund.'.'

in which his assignor bus a vested right andthat on his discharge he is entitled to its re-turn. The defendant interposed a demurreron the ground of the insufficiency of thefacts to constitute a ciuse of action, whichthe court sustained.

The case was appealed to the SupremeCourt, and yesterday an opinion was handeddown, nttirming the judgment of the lowercourt. a r
