FARMERS' AND MERCHANTS' BANK OF LOS ANGELES. A TRIBUTE TO THE SOUTHERN PRESS. In the agricultural column of the Sacramento Record we find a just tribute to the Press of Southern California. The progress of our section of the State is more largely due to the steadfast, untiring labor of its newspaper editors than to all other causes combined. The Record says: "There is one portion of the State at least, in which the local papers appreciate their mission, and where they have been pursuing that mission with zeal and effectiveness for the last three or four years, and that portion of the State is now receiving the benefits of these efforts. The State is now receiving an influx of from 6,000 to 7,000 of the very best classes of immigrants each month—farmers, mechanics and skilled laborers, and much the larger portion of these immigrants are going right through the northern and central parts of the State, scarcely turning their eyes to the right or left, so intent are they fixed on Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, or some other southern county. "Why is that? Simply because the local press of these counties have been more wide awake to their own interests and the interests of these localities." CARRIAGE PAINTER!

CALLAGHAN, having supplied the trade of the Pacific Coast with these celebrated Yeast Powders for the past ten years, would caution the public against spurious imitations as more are genuine unless D. CALLAGHAN'S signature is on every can. We are also putting up a superior article of each month—armers, mechanics and skilled laborers, and much the larger portion of these immigrants are going right through the northern and central parts of the State, scarcely turning their eyes to the right or left, so intent are they fixed on Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, or some other southern county. "Why is that? Simply because the local press of these counties have been more wide awake to their own interests and the interests of these localities. They have set forth the advantages of their climate, the richness and fertility of their soil, by portraying the successful experiments in fruit culture, the profits of orange, lemon, lime, raisin, English walnut, almond, prune, date and other fruit culture, by noting the great yields of alfalfa, of wheat, corn, barley, oats, flax, castor bean, cotton, tobacco and other products, by encouraging and speaking in friendly and truthful terms of all public enterprises, of harbor improvements, of railroad building, steamboat companies, and whatever adds facilities to and helps to build up and render valuable and desirable the country. While the local papers of the Southern counties are earnestly and effectively at work for their several localities, and for the general interest of that portion of the State, and while the title of immigration is steadily settling in that direction, a great majority of the local press of the northern and central parts of the State seem to have forgotten that a like course on their parts would produce like results." THE NAVIES OF EUROPE. All Europe at this moment has 142 iron-cased fit to be placed in line of battle. Of these England owns 38, France 28, Austria Russia Italy, and Turkey 15 each. Germany 8, Spain 7, Denmark 3, Greece 2. The tonnage of the German ships are large if their guns are; however, so uncommonly great that although few in number, they are supposed to be more than a match for any Navy; those of England Russia,and France excepted.Besides these there are 100 iron-cased vessels to be found in Europe for the defence of coasts.Of this number Germany has 2; Spain Norway,and Denmark;3each;Turkey:5Sweden:9;Russia:13;Holland:18England:23;andFrance:30;431 screw frigates and corvettes make up the wooden array of European strength at sea.Here again England with 192 vessels:5670 guns;and 50,700 horse mounted method long time til the next extensive vine where the end of October begins;stem of a low section covered evaporated in the pooled carefully grapes,tinted filled w quantity tom.Tandthe which it was.Thebe placed there arenthe them in close to tightlyincreasing.Cocoam-Munion-to the No in missionary WASHING AND IRONING DONE IN A prompt and workmanlike manner and at Lowest Rates.

England, Russia, and France excepted. Besides these there are 100 iron-cased vessels to be found in Europe for the defence of coasts. Of this number Germany has 2; Spain, Norway, and Denmark, 3 each; Turkey, Sweden, 9; Russia, 13; Holland, 18; England, 23; and France, 30; 431 screw frigates and corvettes make up the wooden array of European strength at sea. Here again, England with 132 vessels, 5070 guns, and 50,700 horse power, has the first place. France, the second on the list, records only 52; Russia, 48; Turkey, 44; Spain, 37; Holland, 25; Italy, 24; Germany, 17; Denmark, 16; Austria, 14; Portugal, 8; Sweden, 5; Norway, 5; Greece, 2. Smaller craft such as avisoos, gunboats, &c., of which England alone has 179 with 300 guns and 13,281 horse-power, are not reckoned in this calculation. If England were to man her navy for war, she would require 68,000 men, of whom 22,000 would have to be called for the purpose. Russia for the like object wants 33,000; France, 33,570; Turkey, 21,000; Spain, 14,000; Germany, 13,000 (every one kept in readiness); Austria, 11,530; Italy, 11,200; Holland, 6,260; Denmark, 4800; Norway, 3500; Portugal, 3300; Sweden about 3000. Comparing the total of the German crews with those of the other States, we find it exceeded by England, Russia, France, Turkey, and Spain. Spain does not count so much of her forces existing only on paper; nor can Turkey's numbers be relied upon; she being to a great extent dependent on foreign help for the effective manning and officiating of her ships. Hence the German navy is in reality inferior only to the British, Russian, and French; and even this statement requires to be qualified. German vessels being much more sparingly manned than either the Russian or the French, and 13,000 German sailors being accordingly not so very much below the strength of 36,000 Russians or 33,570 Frenchmen as the figures would seem to indicate. This is a much more rapid progress in the Berlin naval department than the most sanguine expected but a few years ago. GAZETTE NO. 6. A COMFORTING SENTENCE. — "One of them fellers" remarked Blijah, as he hailed out Thomas Lullington, a young man charged with vagrancy. "So you haven't nothing to do, eh?" asked the Court. "Nothing," mournfully answered the prisoner. "Out of work—no home, and your cash so short that you couldn't get into a woman's rights convention, eh?" continued his Honor. "You've struck it, partner," answered the prisoner with a smile. "Yes, and now I'll strike you, Mr. Lullington. I'm down on loafers and vage, and I'm going to boost you for sixty days if it tears the desk down. You'll have something to do up there besides sitting on a box in the alley and whistling 'Come Love Come,' and when day fails into night, and the remainder of the world retires to rest, you'll have a bed and some covering. They'll hire some one to hoe that dirt off you, cut your hair, dig out your nails; and when you come out you will be so disguised that your own mother will think you are some English duke over here to hunt ducks and buy gas stock." The prisoner said he would be willing to go up, and if the institution pleased him as well as he thought it would, he might come back for a longer sentence.—Detroit Free Press. BROOMCORN CULTURE.—One of the most profitable crops raised in this State is that of broomcorn. On an average the crop of broom brush to the acre is about $80 or 1,000 pounds. MISCELLANEOUS The Ashantas have deposed King Koffie. The population of Virginia City has doubled during the last four years. San Diego is shipping flour to San Francisco. Senator Jones' bill, providing for the collage of twenty-cent pieces, will probably be among the earliest enactments of the next Congress. Syracuse University of New York has been anonymously presented with $75,000, and the giver positively refuses to make known his name. Dame Ramor has it that Blumank has forbidden the bans between the Crown Prince of Hanover and the Princess Thyra of Denmark. The Berlin African Society are about to send another expedition to Central Africa under the command of Captain Von Homeyer. Utah has put into circulation during the present year about $10,000,000 of the precious metals. This is double the amount of last year. Boynton went to sea in his life preserver seventeen miles from the Irish Coast, and floated and navigated himself to shore in safety. An investigation into the affairs of the Charity Commission of Brooklyn, New York, reveals a deficiency of nearly $100,000. As compared with 1873, the internal revenue receipts for 1874 have fallen off $2,055,289 93, as appears by the BROOMCORN CULTURE.—One of the most profitable crops raised in this State is that of broomcorn. On an average the crop of broom brush to the acre is about 800 or 1,000 pounds. Good brush is worth one year with another from five to seven cents a pound, or say from $40 to $50 per acre. An acre of good broom brush will furnish from a ton to a ton and a half of seed, worth from $10 to $12 a ton. The seed will ordinarily pay all expenses of the crop—cultivation, harvesting and marketing, leaving the entire value of the brush as net profits. Broomcorn will grow in all the agricultural portions of the State where good corn can be produced, and as a general thing good corn land is good broomcorn land. The cultivation is the same as that for corn, and requires no more skill. It may be planted any time in the season from April to July, according to soil and locality. It would be an excellent crop to precede wheat, barley or other small grain. Bottom lands that have been covered with sediment from the rivers are most excellent for its successful growth. Such lands in Yuba and Sutter counties have been devoted to this crop with good success, and the area of its cultivation is annually extending, and the market is annually increasing.—Susamato Record. KEEPING GRAPES FRESH. — A method of preserving grapes for a long time, even from one Autumn until the next Summer, has come into extensive use. The grapes are kept on the vine as long as possible—in France where this device originated, to the end of October or the beginning of November. Before the first frosts appear they are cut, leaving a portion of the stem of about two or three knots below the bunch and two above it. The section of the upper end is then to be covered with wax, to prevent the evaporation of the liquids contained in the pores of the wood; and after carefully removing all the unsound grapes, the lower end of the stem is inserted in a small elongated bottle filled with water, having a small quantity of wood charcoal in the bottom. The space between the stem and the tightly fitting cork through which it is inserted is to filled up with wax. The bottles thus fitted are to be placed on shelves in a dry room, and there arranged so as not to fall over, this being best prevented by inserting them in holes bored in a frame, as close together as they can stand conveniently. COCOA-NUT LIQUOR AT THE COMMUNION.—An overture was presented to the New Hebrides Mission Synod, in June last, by the Rev. John Inglis, missionary from the Reformed Presbyterian Church. Utah has put into circulation during the present year about $10,000,000 of the precious metals. This is double the amount of last year. Boynton went to sea in his life preserver seventeen miles from the Irish Coast, and floated and navigated himself to shore in safety. An investigation into the affairs of the Charity Commission of Brooklyn, New York, reveals a deficiency of nearly $100,000. As compared with 1873, the internal revenue receipts for 1874 have fallen off $2,055,289 93, as appears by the report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The President resists all pressure to induce him to alter his determination of non-interference in the latest Arkansas muddle.—"A burnt child dreads the fire." Herr Forklainek resigned the Presidency of the German Parliament on last Wednesday during a fit of the sulks, and the next day he was re-elected to the position. The Trustees of the city of Sacramento have granted permission to the Board of Health to plant eucalypt trees on certain streets of that city for sanitary and ornamental purposes. The Mormon Bishop, Wm. H. Dame, who is said to have been the colonel commanding the Mormons at the Mountain Meadow massacre, has been arrested. Fullerton won the trottling race at San Francisco on Saturday last in three straight heats, making the first heat in 2:20a, the best wagon time on record. Occident was third in each heat. The Commissioner of Agriculture says the demand for semi-tropical plants for experiments in the Southern States is very great. The Chinese teplant is especially in demand, and many thousand young plants were distributed through the year. The New York Tribune suggests that the Constitution of the United States be so amended as to make the President eligible for but one term of six years, and that on the expiration of this term he be retired on a life salary and declared a United States Senator at large. Eugene Sherwood, of Salinas City, has donated 60 acres of land to the Mayor and Common Council, in trust for the inhabitants of Salinas City; the same is to be used for a race track, fair grounds, etc. The conditions are that the grounds are to be improved by planting two rows of trees this season around the entire track, and to otherwise ornament the same. A scientific report received by the War Department shows that the Black Hills country is admirably adapted for settlement. It abounds in timber, grass, flowing streams and springs. The soil is of wonderful fertility. No coal has been found, but iron, gypsum, and traces of plumbago, and indications of gold in the soil near Harvey's Peak, as well as in quartz beds, in considerable quantities. Twenty thousand acres more land will be under cultivation this season. Cocoa-Nut Liquor at the Communion.—An overture was presented to the New Hebrides Mission Synod, in June last, by the Rev. John Inglis, missionary from the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Scotland, asking the Synod to consider the expedition and propriety of discontinuing the use of wine at the Lord's Supper in these islands and using it in its steal the liquor of the cocoa-nut as so many missionary brethren do in that part of the mission-field. Mr. Inglis said: "I have always found that the strongest and most effective argument I can use with the natives against intoxicating drinks is that I never use them myself; and if they were good things, like water, or milk, or ten, or the liquor of the cocoa-nut, I would use them every day. Now if we discontinue the use of fermented wine at the Lord's table, we shall remove a serious stumbling block from the path of the natives, and a grave difficulty out of the way of the missionaries." It was agreed that the overture should be over for further consideration till next meeting of the Synod. Medical Properties of Eggs.—The white of an egg has proved of late the most efficacious remedy for burns. Seven or eight successive applications of this substance soothe the pain and effectually exclude the burn from the air. This simple remedy seems preferable to collodion, or even cotton. Extraordinary stories are told of the healing properties of a new oil which is easily made from the yolks of hen's eggs. The eggs are first boiled hard, the yolks are then removed, crushed, and placed over a fire, where they are carefully stirred until the whole substance is just on the point of catching fire, when the oil separates and may be poured off. It is in general use among the colonists of Southern Russia as a means of curing cuts, bruises, and scratches. The Austrian and Russian Governments have agreed upon a Joint Commission to establish the boundary line between those two countries.
