THE SEWING MACHINE. [Having become interested in the subject of sewing machines, we publish the following recommendation of a superior brand for the benefit of our bachelor friends. They will be furnished "as is," and at purchasers' risk, upon application to the old established house of Pater Familias & Co.—Ed. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN.] "Get one? Don't say so? Which did you get? One of the kind to open and shet? Own it or hire it? How much did you pay? Does it go with a crank or a treadle. Say, I'm a single man and somewhat green, Tell me about your sewing machine." "Listen, my boy, and hear about it—I don't know what I should do without it. I've owned one now for many a year. And like it so well I call it 'my dear;' Tis the cleverest thing that ever was seen, This wonderful family sewing machine. It's none of your angular Wheeler things. With steel-shaft beak and cast-iron wings; I work would bother a hundred of his, And is worth a thousand! Indeed it is: And has a way—you need not stare—Of combing and braiding its own back hair! Mine is not one of those stupid affairs That stands in the corners with what-nots and chairs. And makes that dismal head-achy noise. Which all the comforts of sewing destroys; No rigid contrivance of lumber and steel. But one with a natural spring in the heel, Mine is one of the kind to love. And wears a shawl and a soft kid glove; Has the merriest eye and a dainty foot. And sports the charmingest gaiter boot. that after cutting one crop it is harvest again in seven weeks, thus him at least 6 crops per year. Farmers take hold of this enterprise they will have something that exceed their expectations, and on moist grounds it will be independent rains. Some say they want to set to be sure of it. They need not that as it has been thoroughly the Southern States for the last sixty years, and it fulfills all that has been of it. A London merchant writes that best fibre they get is from the States, and urges people to go as it is a "big thing," and the market for all that can be sent. Quires but little starting capital each man commence with 1,000 enough to set an acre, and the ing year he will have enough to fifty acres if he chooses. They set out any time. All information instruction will be given by the scriber, who intends to be in January. Bayard Taylor on Schiller The well known American author famous for his translation of Goethe-Schiller the object of a public lecturer. He expatiated upon that the most interesting part of literary life dated from the time And is worth a thousand! Indeed it is: And has a way—you need not stare— Of combing and braiding its own back hair! Mine is not one of those stupid affairs That stands in the corners with what-nots and chairs. And makes that dismal head-achy noise. Which all the comforts of sewing destroys; No rigid contrivance of lumber and steel. But one with a natural spring in the heel, Mine is one of the kind to love, And wears a shawl and a soft kid glove; Has the merriest eye and a dainty foot. And sports the charming gaiter boot, And a bonnet with feathers, and ribbons, and loops. With an indefinite number of hoops. None of your satent machines for me, Unless Dame Nature's the patentee; I like the sort of thing that can laugh and talk, And take my arm for an evening walk: That will do whatever the owner may choose, With the sligtest preceptible turn of the screws. One that can dance—possibly—flirt, And make a pudding as well as a shirt— One that can sing without dropping a stitch, And play the lady, housewife and witch— Ready to give the sagest advice, Or do up your collars and things so nice. What do you think of my machine? Ain't it the best that ever was seen? 'Tis not a clumsy, mechanical toy, But flesh and blood! Hear that my boy— With a turn for goose, and household affairs, Which, include, you know, the sewing of tares! Tut. tut! Don't talk. I see it all— You needn't keep winking so hard at the wall; I know what your fidgety tremblings mean; Would you like, yourself, a sewing machine! Well—get one then—of the same design— There were plenty left when I got mine." —By a Connecticut Farmer. Ramie. COMMUNICATED. San Francisco, Dec. 11th, 1871. EDITOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN:—I notice that there is a good deal being said through the papers upon the subject of Cotton raising, and the adaptability of the climate and soil of California for the same, and one would suppose from the arguments, that there could be no other crop as remunerative, or as beneficial to individuals, and—the prosperity of the state, and now that there are so many looking anxiously for the results of the last years experiments, and as our planting season is rapidly approaching, I wish to put before the people, and especially those farmers near Anaheim, that there is another crop vastly superior both in profit and in safety, and which will give any one a fortune in a very few years. The well known American author famous for his translation of Goethe-Schiller the object of a public lecture Pittsburg. He expatiated upon that the most interesting part of Schiller life dated from the time he becoming acquainted with Goethe-Pittsburg Volksblatt says: "In ordering the reciprocal impressions made by the two poets, the lecturer took on to show how they were mutually reactive first they met; how gradually made advances until at last they at terms of intimacy resulting in a terchange of ideas, which was and prolific at the same time. In order was embodied the stately repose of classic ages; while in Schiller forth the sacred fire and the impulse of inspiration. Schiller, engaged on composing a work, was the peccessity of being gushing even to the details; Goethe, while conceived his compositions from beginning to keep them confined within the bounds his works until after they were finished. The lecturer pointed out the ball-Schiller, as the most perfect specimen that kind of poetry we know of—conception and language, so that the clumsiest translation could not any harm to their intrinsic beauty. dramatic pieces of Schiller he read second to Shakespeare, entering into details regarding some of them. His greatest work was William Tell which he was partly indebted to Gotha who had intended to compose an poem upon the same subject. A occasion he remarked, that if any indulged in the mistaken notion of the German language was not eucious, let him only listen to the Boy's song from William Tell. Taylor read it then in German and English, and was highly applauded. Mr. Taylor concluded by mentioning Schiller's powerful aspirations in air at perfection. He was not, he said genius of the first order; but by incipient working, even to the destruction of health,—by continually studying and veiwing his own writings—he had reded a degree of perfection, which securing him a place among the poets of all ages. THREE NEW STATES.—The San Francisco Bulletin says: Colorado, New Mexico and Utah other crop as remunerative, or as beneficial to individuals, and the prosperity of the state, and now that there are so many looking anxiously for the results of the last years experiments, and as our planting season is rapidly approaching, I wish to put before the people, and especially those farmers near Anaheim, that there is another crop vastly superior both in profit and in safety, and which will give any one a fortune in a very few years, and that crop is "Ramie." The advantages are many over any other crop. It is a very hardy and vigorous grower; it will withstand the longest drought and the most excessive rains without injury. It has no enemies, while cotton may be totally destroyed by the army worm or other insects. After the plants become rooted it fills the ground full, like a wheat field and the foliage is so thick that the weeds cannot grow and the ground keeps always moist, and then there is no more cultivation to do, and the harvesting will go almost constantly on. As a crop may be cut three and four times a year. It will yield from 800 to 1200 pounds to a cutting, and sells in London at from $250 to $400 per ton. It can be harvested in the morning, and at night ready to send to market. It does not wear out the soil. The refuse is spread on the field which is all the manure ever wanted. The fibre is nearly equal to silk, and goods are made of it from the finest gauze to the heaviest canvass. It can be cut with a reaper or mowing machine, and the machine for extracting the fibre will clean some 1,500 lbs a day, the cost of which will be about $500. Parties in San Francisco will purchase all that can be raised, or it can be shipped direct to London or Liverpool. A person, raising it at the Sandwich Islands, writes Schiller's powerful aspirations in air at perfection. He was not, he said genius of the first order; but by incertely working, even to the destruction of health,—by continually studying and veiwing his own writings—he had reaped a degree of perfection, which secured him a place among the poets of all ages. Three New States.—The San Diego cisco Bulletin says: Colorado, New Mexico and Utah during the present Session of Congress apply for addmission as States into Federal Union. Each of them has two or three years ago to be admitted account of the small number of inhabitants. No formidable objects are now anticipated to the admission Colorado and New Mexico. But because Utah is admitted, polygamy must be tiled. A polygamous State will never recognized. If Utah were to incorporate a provision into its constitution forming forever polygamic marriages, disposing equitably of such cases as he already occurred, the way would be sonably clear for admission. The "Gritile" element will very soon outnumber the Mormons, and would control the Islature of the State. Mr. Bryant, of New York Event Post, has (it is alleged) hung up a catalogue of words that neither editor nor reporter is allowed to use. Among the interdicted words are bogus, authoritative, collided, debut, donation, loan located, ovation, predicate, progressive pants, rowdies, roughs, secesh, osculum (for kiss), indorse (for approve) lady (for wife), jubilant (for rejoicing), baggy (for capturing), loaned (for lent), post (for informed), realized (for obtained). A new discovery has been made regarding grape leaves—namely, that from them yeast may be made, which some respects is superior to hop yeast; the bread rising sooner, and not possessing that peculiar taste to which man object in hop yeast.

It is estimated that 40,000,000 acres are still in the hands of the Government, worthy, however, or fit only for grazing purposes. The real growth and prosperity of California lies then in the settlement and development of her valleys and arable land which have passed from the Government into the hands of individuals. To them then we must look for what this State is to become; if they inaugurate a system sufficiently liberal to induce settlement, the tide of emigration will turn bither. and this coast become, in population, what its climate, soil and manufacturing advantages will warrant. — Santa Cruz Sentinel. Gail Hamilton concludes an article in the Independent on a woman's meeting with a reference to the fact that, although the tyrant man had been rigorously excluded, he was called in again to put out a little dog which disturbed the proceceedings, and adds: "That is always the way. Women will not be true to themselves. They will keep up a mighty fusilade on parade days; but they will not stand by their guns on a pinch. They turn man out of their halls with beat of drums; but at the first bark they rush to bring him in again. We have our women candidates all nominated for the Presidency; but just as we are on the eve of going to Eton to vote for Miss Anna Page, it turns out that she is a great lubberly boy. When Greek meets Greek, I prefer Ulysses the Silent, fight- ing it out on his own line, to Demosthenes the Eloquent, hiding under a woman's gown."
