A gentleman who has visited and examined most of the noted vineyards of Europe, expresses the opinion that the chief requisite for the highest merit in wine is neither the management of fermentation nor the variety of the grape, but the soil; and he states facts that will leave no doubt in the minds of those not previously convinced, that good soil and exposure are indispensable to the production of the best quality of wine. The main idea is not new; it is universally conceded that most of our vineyards are planted on soil too rich, and on situations too low and flat to yield the best quality of wine. But "M." gives new illustrations, and his remarks will tend to impress upon our readers the superiority of the hills for vineyards. He pays a high compliment to the ordinary California wine, made from the Mission grape, and says it is superior to any made in Italy, and also superior to the wines grown on the plains of Languedoc, imported here from Bordeaux and sold as Medoc or Claret. Some of the Cucamonga, in his opinion, rivals the best Sherry and Madeira. He dislikes our port, because it is made in imitation of the sweet Port, mixed with distilled spirits for English use, whereas the dry Port made in the ordinary method for consumption in Portugal is a much lighter, more palatable and more wholesome article. We regard our California Port as an excellent article of its kind and valuable as a heaver. Wanted—Population. The State gain in population, and railroad, in 1870 was only 15,000 persons; which increased pared with our wants, is about a fying as the "peanut a month ago to the wants of the hungry stage.

The enterprise was a grand success both parties. It made hundreds dustrious immigrants rich, and millionaire of Governor Seymour are all waiting, waiting for pro "When will times change?"

FINE PROSPECT.—From the San Juan Echo of 21st ult., we clip the following: We have reliable intelligence of a rich discovery at or near Shaw's Flat, Tuolumne county. The lead pans out from 50 cents to $7 to the panfull, and it is expected that three men will be able to take out $1,000 a day. This discovery has a local interest, in the fact that several of our citizens—Dr. Wiggins, Major McMichael, George Tate, S. W. Smith, Ed. Burch, Thomas Mylar Sr., W. G. Hubbard — are the principal owners. Mr. Hubbard above referred to, is of the firm of Hubbard & Hunter, Anaheim. The weather is very cold in the eastern provinces of Germany.

The interior is then completely out, the ripe granges are placed and the cover replaced and firmly. The pumpkins are thinned in a cool place, and the grapes found to retain their freshness very long time. We are told very careful selection must be made for the pumpkin, the common fieldkin, however, being well adathe purpose in question.—W. porter. LIGHTNING CURED WINE.—A wine is improved so as to seize instead of ten cents per liter. Sequest experiments tend to show a current caused by the imminent two platina electrodes, in cowith a galvanic battery, has afflicted on wine. IN the Union of the 2d, we have the annual report of John Forster, Esq., President of the above named Company, in which he speaks favorably of the prospects of the company, and hopes that during the present year they will make a commencement on the road. From this report, we make the following extract: By reference to the report of the Treasurer—on file—it will be seen that the amount of capital stock, actually subscribed in this County, upon which ten per cent. has been paid into the treasury of the Company, amounts to $189,000; amount of cash received by the Treasurer, $18,900; amount of disbursements during the year, $868 50; leaving a balance in treasury, $17,041 50. A large amount of stock has been subscribed, or guaranteed, by citizens of Los Angeles county, which has not, as yet, been entered upon our stock books, but will be available when required for the construction of the road. In taking leave, in my official capacity, of the Stockholders of the Company it may not be improper for me to make a suggestion concerning the kind of road it may be desirable, under the circumstances, for the Company to build. It is known to many of you that, in many places in England, what are known as "narrow gauge" roads have been built and operated with great success, saving to the builders more than It made hundreds of immigrants rich, and made a Governor Scymour. We long, waiting for prosperity. Times change?" "when will pass away?" are the quesary body's mouth, and are which nobody seems to feel so answer. We, however, that times will not change increase our population, and be done until proper inducement held out. Abel Stearns, Bowney, Judge Pratt, John R.

It is known to many of you that, in many places in England, what are known as "narrow gauge" roads have been built and operated with great success, saving to the builders more than one-half in the cost of construction, and also one-half of the expense of operating. A railroad with a gauge of thirty inches can be built and equipped upon our route, for about ten thousand dollars per mile. Such a road, properly equipped and managed, would be capable of doing more business than is now being done by any railroad in the State, and do it at about half the cost of an ordinary wide gauge road. Such a road would be able to do all the business required for many years, and double or treble the profits to be derived from our investment, and subserve the interests of the country quite as well as a more expensive road. Is it not, then, for the best interest of all concerned, that the narrow gauge be adopted, and these most desirable results obtained. Election of officers—at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the S D. & L. A. R. R. Co., held on the 23d instant the following named gentlemen were elected Directors for the ensuing year; John Forster, C. J. Couts, A. E. Horton, E. W. Morse, J. Nash, A Pauly, Levi Chase, J. W. Gale, D. W. Briant, J. S. Mannasse, M. Sherman, W. H. Cleveland, J. M. Pierce. Immediately after the adjournment of the Stockholders meeting the newly elected Board of Directors organized and elected their officers, as follows: President, John Forster; Vice President, A. Pauly; Treasurer, E W. Morse; Secretary, J. Nash. No man is a man till he is tried; till he has passed through the ordeal; through deep water and scorching fires. A man surrounded with comforts, friends and relations, food and raiment; whose barns are filled with plenty, and whose presses gush out with new wines; who eats his fill; sits and reads, doles about, taking his case and pleasure; smoking his pipe and chewing his cud, is he a man? Far from it. A man is not a man until he is proved—has passed the ordeal—drank the bitter cup; risen above life's conflicts; mounted the billows of the wave. METHOD OF PRESERVING Travelers inform us that the have a method of preserving grapes to have them at their coming the entire year, and a re-gives us the following acclimate method adopted. It consisting a circular piece out of a tin or gourd, making an aperitif enough to admit the hand. It is then completely cleaned the grapes are placed inside, never replaced and placed in the pumpkins are then kept face, and the grapes will be retain their freshness for a time. We are told that a selection must be made of the common field pumpkin, being well adapted for use in question.—W. & F. Reeves. CURED WINE. At Digne, several butts of wine were served by lightning, and their pressed along the floor into a death. It was found, instead suffered by the accident, the improved so as to sell at sixty ten cents per litre. Sub-experiments tend to show that caused by the immersion of electrodes, in connection with battery, has a similar effect. Following is a list of the newly elected United States Senators: F. P. Blair, Jr., for Missouri; John A. Logan, for Illinois; William Windom and O. P. Stearn, for Minnesota; Gov. Saulsbury, for Delaware; F. T. Frellnhuysen, for New Jersey, Governor Claton, for Arkansas, Henry Wilton, for Massachusetts; Lot M. Morrill for Maine; and J. R. West, for Louisiana Saulsbury and Blair are the only Democrats in the list, Blair being a Democratic gain. A label, of which the following is a verbatim copy, accompanied a chest of a new brand of tea recently received by Mr. Nabb. The label is good, but the quality of tea is better, as we can vouch, having tasted it; "They are both kinds, Yeenyoy and Sancing.

"Are the pictures which you brought home from Europe all landscape?" said an artist to Mrs. Shoddy, one day. "Lord bless you, no," replied the indignant lady, "they're ill painters."
