WIT AND HUMOR. Do the inhabitants of the pleasant Venus know that they have had a transit? is the question. A man who has been traveling in the "far West" days—but he probably misrepresents the matter—that when an Idaho girl is kissed she indignantly exclaims, "How put that right back where you took it from!" A Canadian murderer wanted them to put off the day of execution, owing to his being afflicted with the toothache, but the sheriff said he'd got to go to mill next day and he couldn't possibly accommodate the prisoner. An Indiana man bet ten dollars that he could ride the fly-wheel of a saw-mill, and as his widow paid the bet she re-marked: "William was a kind husband, but he didn't know much about fly-wheels."—Detroit Free Press. A man, about going to Europe, said to his wife, "I am afraid, my dear, that while I am gone, absence will conquer love." "O, you needn't fear for me," quickly said his wife; "the longer you stay away the better I shall like you." A little girl being sent to the store to purchase some dye stuff, and forgetting the name of the article, said to the clerk, "John, what do folks dye with?" "Die with? Why, cholera, sometimes," replied John. "Well, I believe that's the name; I want three cents' worth." A teacher attempted to calm his impetuous pupils by telling them that Cicero says, "The pursuit of all things should be calm and tranquil." "He says that does he?" shrieked a youngster; "then all I've got to say is that I guesa he never tried to catch a flea." General Butler tells of a civil service candidate writing against the question: "What is the distance of the sun from the earth?" That he couldn't tell the exact distance, but he didn't think it was near enough to interfere with his duties as postoffice clerk. A lady went into a carpet store recently and pointing out a carpet asked the proprietor what it was. "Brussels," says the proprietor. "Brussels," quoth the lady, passing her hand over it. "Seems to me the brustles don't stick up much." "What is the size of this place?" gravely asked a New Yorker of the con- Proceedings of Congress. Among the bills introduced were the following: By Banning—To establish a Mint at Cincinnati. By Garfield—In regard to alleged new evidence in the Fitz John Porter case. The House then proceeded to consideration of business pertaining to the District of Columbia. On motion of Garfield the rules were suspended, and the bill passed, 164 to 76, appropriating $25,000 to defray the expense attending the bringing of King Kalakana to the United States. A long discussion took place on the bill to relieve from taxation the Home for Indigenous Old Ladies of the District of Columbia, which finally passed. Adjourned. Lettrell introduced a bill relative to wagon roads, which he said would not endorse, though it was accompanied by petitions praying for its adoption. It is Caleb T. Pay's Road Bill. The petitions favoring it have one thousand signatures of residents of Butte and Plumas counties. Hoar (E. R.) offered a resolution for the appointment of a select committee to inquire whether the privileges of the House had not been violated by the arrest of Whitelaw Reid at the suit of A. R. Shephard, while Reid was in the District of Columbia under a subpoena from a Committee of the House. Butler, of Massachusetts, opposed, and moved to table the resolution. Rejected, 45 to 102, and the resolution was adopted, 187 to 44. The Speaker appointed E. R. Hoar, Hale of New York, Orth, Clymer and Sayler the Special Committee. Dawes presented the case of C. A. Wetmore, correspondent of the Alta California and other Pacific coast papers, who having said in his dispatches that there were strange rumors about Beck's connection with the Pacific Mall subsidy, was summoned before the Committee, when he said the rumors were about tracing a check from Font, banker, to Beck, but refused to give the name of his authority. After an indignant speech by Beck, a resolution was adopted summoning Wetmore to the bar of the House. The Sergeant-at-Arms appeared with Wetmore, who still declined to give the name of the person who mentioned Beck's name to him. He asked till to-morrow to consider whether he could answer without a breach of confidence. SAN FRANCISCO At last we have heard through transportation roads in the interior in some localities caused yet the genius crops of grain for the never more promising past week has not borne any part interruption by the erpool showing a deformity has caused accompany flour market is appropriate its price slowly with but little at former quotation quiet at nominal价 Potatoes are from some advanced steel light stock and fir wood is quiet, those looked for on account showing more ingenuity slightly, but is very prices.

RYR—Is in good There is a slight range being $1.400 GENERAL BUTLER tells of a civil service candidate writing against the question: "What is the distance of the sun from the earth?" That he couldn't tell the exact distance, but he didn't think it was near enough to interfere with his duties as postoffice clerk. A lady went into a carpet store recently and pointing out a carpet asked the proprietor what it was. "Brussels," says the proprietor. "Brussels," quoth the lady, passing her hand over it. "Seems to me the brustles don't stick up much." "What is the size of this place?" gravely asked a New Yorker of the conductor, just as the brakeman had sung out, O-pe-li-ka, at a southern station, where not a house was visible among the pines except a rambling shell called an "eating saloon." "It's about as big as New York," was the ready answer, "but it isn't built up yet." "Suppose I should quiz you about your bald head, you wouldn't get mad, would you?" said a young fop to an indigent old man in a railway depot. "Not at all; I should only just say, that when my head gets as soft as yourn, I kin raise ha'r tew sell, or something o' that sort," smilingly replied the old man. "This is a sad world," said a shrewish wife to her husband, who was sitting by her sick-bed, and were it not for you I should be glad to leave it." "Oh," said the good-natured husband, "don't let me stand in the way of your happiness for a moment. Go just when you like." She got well speedily. While manipulating the windlass of a well the other night, a party who had been laying in a store of whisky let the handle slip when the bucket was half-way up, and naturally enough received a chuck under the chin which knocked him over a neighboring fence. "Sold again!" he muttered, as he climbed to his feet. "Might 'a knowed—hie better than to—hic—go foolin' roun' so much water. Betcher boots I'll stick t' whisky after this." Comments on "Dad." Yesterday afternoon two strangers, walking up and down in the Detroit & Milwaukee depot to pass time away, were attracted to a locomotive standing on the rails, and as they walked around it one of them remarked: "It was one of these fellers that killed my old dad." "Is that sol" replied the other. "Yes, busted him into nine or ten pieces. I never think of it without the tears coming." He sighed heavily and then went on: "Dad was a walking on the track when she busted him. The engineer said he reimbursed his lever, blode the whistle, and did all he could to save the old man, who was trotting along with his head down, but nothing could warn him. This ere cowcatcher picked him up, tossed him forty feet high, and he turned over seven times and came down in a cornfield." "And he was dead!" asked the other. "Dead! Well I should say he was! Every rib was broken, the vertebra was shivered, his skull was stove, one leg gone, and he was the worst looking old man you ever saw. I shall never forget the day they brought the ripper back into said in his dispatches that there were strange rumors about Beck's connection with the Pacific Mall subsidy, was summoned before the Committee, when he said the rumors were about tracing a check from Font, banker, to Beck, but refused to give the name of his authority. After an indignant speech by Beck, a resolution was adopted summoning Wetmore to the bar of the House. The Sergeant-at-Arms appeared with Wetmore, who still declined to give the name of the person who mentioned Beck's name to him. He asked till to morrow to consider whether he could answer without a breach of confidence. The Appropriation Committee agreed to include the following items in the Sundry Civil Appropriations Bill. For refunding State expenses in raising volunteers, $279,000; construction and maintenance of military telegraph lines, especially in Texas, Nevada, Mexico and Arizona, $500,000; for collection of bounty, prize-money, and other claims of colored soldiers, $450,000; Freedmen's Hospital, $45,000. Storm, Sypher and Crittenden denied the truth of the charges that they were implicated in the Pacific Mail subsidy scandal. Dawes said he had the affidavit of Crittenden, from New York, denying that he had received money. Telegrams were read from D. W. Voorhees, of Indiana, and Boyd, of Winchester, Ky., protesting against the charges made against him in the matter, and requesting to be subpoenaed. A proposition to pay the Choctaw Indian award, nearly $3,000,000, was discussed at length, and finally agreed to, and the bill reported to the House. The Choctaw claim was then amended by reducing it to $600,000, and agreed to. The bill was then rejected—111 nays to 120 nays. The Speaker presented a letter from Irwin, the recusant Pacific Mail witness, stating his desire to answer questions and purge himself. Cox presented a petition of importers and dealers in foreign wines protesting against an increase of tax on low-grade wines to 40 cents per gallon, as exorbitant and unjust. Garfield, of the Committee on Appropriations, reported in favor of the bill appropriating $182,500 in coin to pay the interest on the $182,500 of the District of Columbia. Ordered printed. Smith of New York, from the Committee on Elections reported in the case of the Utah delegate a resolution to exclude him, on the ground of polygamy. Ordered printed. Maynard presented the report of the Committee of Conference on the Little Tariff Bill, and explained its modifications. Among other things it increases the duty on mixed silk goods from 50 to 80 per cent. After some discussion the bill was agreed to, 136 to 99. Charles A. Wetmore, the recusant Pacific Mall witness was again brought before the House, and asked whether he was now ready to answer questions. In the course of the examination Wetmore made some impudent remarks for which the House ordered him to be confined in the common jail. The next day Dawes presented Wetmore's apology, intimated that it was satisfactory, and moved his discharge. Agreed to. Senate. The Senate considered the amendment to the appropriation bill to continue the Bureau of Statistics. It was agreed to. Edmunds offered an amendment requiring this bureau to furnish statistics with regard to the foreign and domestic commerce of this country, the railroad systems of this and other countries their cost, etc., cost of transportation on railroads, canals, rivers, etc. Agreed to. Morrill, of Maine, moved to admit the appropriation of $20,000 to defray the expenses of the bureau. Agreed to. Windom moved to make the reports of the Bureau of Statistics quarterly instead of monthly, as heretofore. Agreed to. TALLOW. The large prices are dency,the range is worth 8@8%,at current rates.

"I had was a walking on the track when she busted him.

This ere cowcatcher picked him up, tossed him forty feet high, and he turned over seven times and came down in a cornfield." "And he was dead!" asked the other. "Dead! Well I should say he was! Every rib was broken, the vertebrae was shivered, his skull was stove, one leg gone, and he was the worst looking old man you ever saw. I shall never forget the day they brought the pieces back into the house. There was mother a-weeping in the corner, sister Julia up stairs, Jim on the bed, and I had to run the funeral business, though I was that near gone that my head swum and I couldn't keep nothing on my stomach but Injun porridge." "It was a sad thing, indeed," responded the other. "You bet it was!" continued the son, "and the worst of it was the newspapers came out and said that dad was a blamed old fool for walking on the track—them were the very words." "They were!" "Yes, them were the words, and I tell you they struck us bad. Dad might have leased rockless, but he was no fool. He had a good heart, and was powerful on poetry and figures." He wiped his eyes on the palm of his hand, and he and his companion moved away.—Detroit Free Press. "You will never lose anything by what you have done for me," remarked a grateful soldier who was convalescing in a Government hospital, to a comrade who had attended him through a dangerous fever. Last week that comrade, a cabinet maker, residing in Mt. Pleasant, Pa., received the official information that he was sole heir of C. R. Sykes, who left him $20,000 in Governments as a testamentary remembrance of kindness to him while sick in a fever hospital near Warrenton. Puma froz.—Absolutely pure iron is said to have been produced by a Russian chemist by means of the galvanic battery. During the process a large quantity of hydrogen became disengaged from the ordinary iron used. The pure iron is a silver-white metal, very malleable and ductile, and so soft as to be readily cut with a pair of scissors. It oxidizes rapidly, and water is decomposed by it with the rapid absorption of oxygen. Senate. The Senate considered the amendment to the appropriation bill to continue the Bureau of Statistics. It was agreed to. Edmunds offered an amendment requiring this bureau to furnish statistics with regard to the foreign and domestic commerce of this country, the railroad systems of this and other countries, their cost, etc., cost of transportation on railroads, canals, rivers, etc. Agreed to. Morrill, of Maine, moved to admit the appropriation of $20,000 to defray the expenses of the bureau. Agreed to. Windom moved to make the reports of the Bureau of Statistics quarterly instead of monthly, as heretofore. Agreed to. Sargent moved to lay the amendment of the Committee, as amended, on the table. The amendment as amended was then agreed to. Sherman from the Committee of Conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses upon the House Tariff Bill, submitted a report. He said the report was substantially the same as that presented last session, with the exception of duty on hops, which had been fixed at eight cents. Two sections relating to tobacco, and the tax on sales of bonds, etc., were both stricken out. The report was agreed to. Clayton introduced a bill to protect each State of the Union from invasion, and for other purposes. The bill makes the invasion of any State, for the purpose of violating the laws of said State or of the United States, or interfering in any manner with the execution of this law, a felony, punishable by fine and imprisonment. It gives United States Courts jurisdiction in such cases. Officials of such Courts, and all other officers who may be specially empowered by the President of the United States, are especially required to institute proceedings against offenders, and they are authorized to call upon the land and naval forces of the United States if necessary, for the enforcement of the provisions of the bill. Consideration of the Legislative Appropriation Bill was resumed. An amendment reducing the rent of Alex. R. Shepherd's home, used by the Post Office Department, from $2,300 to $1,800, was agreed to. Some other minor amendments were made, and the bill reported to the Senate, the amendments adopted and the bill passed. The Senate took up the Fortifications Appropriation Bill. It appropriates $750,000 less than last year. The Senate then took up the proposed amendment to the Constitution, submitted by its Committees on Privileges and Election, providing for the election of President and Vice-President by a direct vote of the people. Several speeches were made on this amendment but no action was taken. The chair called on the Committees on Reports, Hamlin, from the Committee on Civil Service and Retrenchment; reported adversely the bill to reduce the salary of the President of the United States; with the request that it be placed on the calendar with the adverse repeat. So ordered. At the expiration of the morning hour, consideration of Schurr's Louisiana resolution was resumed Sherman having the floor. Quite a warm debate ensued in which several of the Seminars took part. GREEN FRUIT DRIED FRUIT APPLECATE Plums Oranges Limes Green Peas Squash SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. At last we have rain in abundance, and though transportation over nearly all the roads in the interior is checked for a time, and in some localities serious damage, has been caused, yet the general prospects for large crops of grain for the coming season were never more promising. The business of the past week has not been active for many reasons, but more particularly on account of the interruption by the storm. Adriens from Liverpool showing a decline in the price of wheat has caused corresponding declines here. The flour market is reported weak. Barley maintains its price almost quoted. Onsia moves off slowly with but little inquiry. Corn is steady at former quotations. Buckwheat is very quiet at nominal prices. Bye is unchanged. Potatoes are firm and in good demand. Onions have advanced steadily. Hops are held in light stock and firm with few transactions. Wool is quiet, though an improvement is looked for on account of Eastern advices showing more inquiry. Cotton has declined slightly, but is very heavy even at present prices. Hides both dry and wet-salted meet a ready market at our quotations. Tallow is firm with prospect of improved rates. Dairy produce is much wanted, the market being entirely bare of butter and cheese. WHEAT—Prices have declined materially, partly on account of fall of prices in Liverpool, and partly on account of the large quantity of rain which has fallen within the past week, which rellerves all concerned of the anxiety previously felt by prospects of a dry season. There has also been a decline in freights, the present rate being 50% for first-class iron ships to ports direct in the United Kingdom. We note transactions for the week under review as follows: 15,000 ctls choice @ $1 00; 10,000 ctls extra choice white @ $1 62%; 15,000 ctls fair shipping @ $1 55; 6,000 centals @ $1 52%; millers purchasing choice at the close at $1 55 @ $1 57%. Our latest Liverpool quotations are: for average, 9s 3d @ 9s 7d; club, 7d@9s 11d. FLOUR—The market is weak though there has been a fair business for the week. Rates are as follows for cargo lots: superline country brands, $4 @ 42%; city mills, standard $4 @ 25%; extra superline, $4 @ 75%; silk dressed a shade higher. BARLEY—Very little trade is in progress, pending the rainy weather, but the belief that the stock is light keeps up prices. Sales aggregate as follows for the week: 5,000 ctls Bright Bay for brewing at $1 62%; 1,000 ctls Chevalier at $1 62%. We quote feed at $1 42%@1 47%; brewing at $1 55@165 centsal. OATS—A week since sales were recorded of 1,500 kgs good to choice at $1 75@1 90. Since then, by reason of heavy rains and wet weather, prices have eased off, with but little business transpiring. We quote fair to good at $1,65@185; choice, $1 87%@$2 ctl; Surprise held higher. BYE—Is in good demand; receipts are light.

It is seldom that we notice anything in the medical line nor would we now unless we could be convinced that we are not doing our duty as a journalist in recommending to the public the celebrated botanical preparation of Dr. Henry. Whoever induces the victim of Scrofula or any other disease of the blood, to use Dr. Henry's Extract of Sarasaparilla, has begun a good work. There can be no question as to the result of this medicine if perservered in. It is sure cure for Scrofula, Rheumatism, Salt Rheum, and indeed all complaints arising from vitiated or impure blood. It is just what a good physician would prescribe for these complaints, and we confidently recommend it as being the best article now in use.

Sales aggregate as follows for the week: 5,000 cts Bright Bay for brewing at $1 65@1 67%; 1,000 cts Chevalier at $1 62%; We quote feed at $1 42@1 47%; brewing at $1 55@165 cental. OATS.—A week since sales were recorded of 1,500 sks good to choice at $1 75@1 90 Since then, by reason of heavy rains and wet weather, prices have eased off, with but little business transpiring. We quote fair to good at $1 55@1 85; choice, $1 87%@$2 ctl; Surprise held higher. RYE.—Is in good demand; receipts are light. There is a slight advance in price, the present range being $1 40@$1 45 per 100 lbs. BUCKWHEAT.—Offerings are light. There is a steady demand at $3%c. CORN, of good quality, sound and dry, is in fair request, meeting a ready market at $1 50 @$1 55 for white, and $1 40@$1 45 @100 lbs. for yellow. The stock of choice is light, and an improvement in price may be looked for soon. We note a sale of 500 sks yellow @$1 45 @100 lbs. BRAN and MIDDLINGS.—The mill prices are $160 for bran, and $200 ton for midlings. HAY.—Is in good supply, meeting a ready market at advanced prices. The cargo price on the wharf ranges from $120 to $170 ton, according to quality. STRAW.—Is quoted at 75@50c per bale. BEANS.—White are scarce and in good demand at good prices, while colored have suffered a decline—good sound, dry lots being hard to obtain even at present prices. We quote the range of wholesale prices for round lots as follows: Bayos, 2@3c; Pink, @22%; Red, 1%@2; new White Pea, 3%@3%; White Butter at 4%@3c. HOPS.—There is no movement to speak of. Stocks are very light, and prices are firm, holders waiting for higher prices; 35%@37c may be quoted as the range. The greater portion of the crop was purchased early in the season for export. HONEY.—Present receipts are small. Owing to a large export trade at low prices early in the season, stocks are much reduced and prices remain steady and firm at 18%@22c for White Comb; dark do. 12%@15c; Strained remains steady at 6%@10c, according to quality. BEESWAX.—The supply is fair, and with a light export demand at 25%@27c. POTATOES.—A really choice article is hard to get in this market. Inferior are plenty and cheap.

ONIONS.—The supply is fair—the larger portion of our receipts being of inferior quality. Choice Silverskins bring $13%@$140 @100 lbs. WOOL.—The market here is very dull, prices remaining low, while our merchants are holding large stocks, unwilling to sell until better prices can be obtained. The stock remaining on hand at the close of the year was closely estimated at 20,000 hales. There is a better feeling in the Eastern market, and it is to be hoped that its influence will soon be felt in this. Present quotations are, for choice: 18%@21c; fair shipping grades 14%@17c; earthy and burry 10%@12c. COTTON.—There is no movement, and prices are merely nominal, say 18%@14c. Stock on hand held for higher figures. HIDES.—Dry are wanted; 19%@20c cash is paid for usual selections; 8%@9c for wet-salted. TALLOW.—The demand is light and receipts large. Prices are firm, with an upward tendency, the range being from 6%@7c; refined is worth 88%c, with sales of 15,000 lbs in lots at current rates.

We quote: Alfalfa, 17%@18c; Canary, 8%@9c; Flax, 3%@3%; California Mustard dull, 2%@3%; Timothy, 7%@9c. CATTLLE.—Our markets are well supplied with all the varieties of meats, and at reasonable prices; the following are the wholesale rates: Beef, 7%@acording to quality; Calves scarce acorn; Mutton, 5%@acorn; plentiful; Lamb, 8%@acorn; Horses on foot, 6%@acorn; Lambs on foot, 6%@acorn; Lambs on foot, 6%@acorn; Lambs on foot, 6%@acorn; Lambs on foot, 6%@acorn; Lambs on foot, 6%@acorn; Lambs on foot, 6%@acorn; Lambs on foot, 6%@acorn; Lambs on foot, 6%@acorn; Colonel Andrews' Diamond Palace. No one thinks of visiting San Francisco without seeing the magnificent jewelry store owned by Colonel Andrews, at 221 Montgomery street. Every visitor must be perfectly satisfied with all the grand things on exhibition, unless perchance he is disgusted at his own picture which constantly looms up before him on account of the entertaining Colonel's having surrounded his establishment with mirrors. The market is always overstocked with cheap and worthless jewelry, which so closely resembles the genuine article that none but an expert at the business can detect the difference until the article has been brought into use. Then the buyer resolves that he will never again purchase anything in this line except from some firm well known to be reliable. There are so few of these firms that they usually sell at very high figures, and the purchaser pays a profit which he would never think of paying on any other goods, since he has the impression that he cannot get a first rate article without paying an exorbitant price. But this firm has gained the reputation of selling the very best jewelry at reasonable prices, much lower than the same article can be bought elsewhere. We noticed many kinds of Gold and Silver Watches of very high finish; also Bracelets, Chains, Rings, and various kinds of Silver Ware found only in the best shops. In the evening the brilliant chandeliers shining upon the Diamonds and Precious Stones make a very gorgeous display. Crowds of people are attracted to the establishment, and few go away without some of those glittering prizes which every fashionable lady or gentleman covets. A daily paper says that ladies insist upon trading with Col. Andrews not only on account of the positively cheap prices of his goods, but their belief that everything purchased of him is first-class and up to his recommendation. If the Colonel can make as large a margin on his goods as a banker does upon his loans, then he is perfectly satisfied. The close estimate on profits permits him to sell at about 40 per cent less than some of the crack jewelry stores in the United States. The Colonel has a watch-repairing department under the charge of one of the best watch-makers in the world, and any work in this line is executed with great care and skill, and always warranted. People who take their watches to a cheap establishment for repairs run a great risk. It is far better for them to pay a little more at an establishment that can be relied upon. We recommend our readers to call on Colonel, and they can be sure of getting what they bargain for. Centinela Colony. The Centinela Rancho, situated on the coast in a westerly direction from Los Angeles and about three miles distant from the limits of that beautiful city, contains 25,000 acres of good arable valley land, a large portion of which is choice bottom and well adapted to the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits. Near the highest elevation is a cluster of large buildings given to us for all blossoms and diseases of the horse... HIDES—Dry are wanted; 19@20c cash is paid for usual selections; 8@9c for wet-salted. TALLOW.—The demand is light and receipts large. Prices are firm, with an upward tendency, the range being from 6½% to 7c; refined is worth 8½%c, with sales of 15,000 lb in lots at current rates. SEEDS.—There is an active demand for many varieties, the oil-mill taking all the clean Flax offered at our quotations. We quote: Alfalfa, 17½%@18c; Canary, 8@9c; Flax, 3@3¼c; California Mustard dull, 2@3c; Timothy, 7c @B. CATTLE.—Our markets are well supplied with all the varieties of meats, and at reasonable prices; the following are the wholesale rates: Beef, 7@9c, according to quality; Calves scarceal 6@9c; Mutton, 5½¾c, plentiful; Lamb, 8@10c; Hogs on foot, 6@6½; Hogs dressed, 8½%@8½%; the latter price for choice small ones. POULTRY.—Prices are variable, depending in a measure on the supply of game. Supplies of all kinds are light on account of the late storm, and prices have been advanced—the demand is good. We give the range as follows: Hens and Roosters, $750@850 doz; Brollers, $600@700 doz; Geese, tame, $2@350 pair; Ducks, do., $700@900 doz.; Turkeys, live, $212lc doz; do., dressed, $25c pr. doz. GAME.—We have an abundance of all seasonable varieties at prices so low as to enable almost any person to live entirely on wild meats. The following are market jobbing rates for the different varieties: Hare, plenty at $350 @300 doz; Rabbitts, do., at $150@200 doz; Wild Geese, $200@400 doz; Do. Ducks, large Mallard, $300 dozen; do., do., small, $100@120 doz; Quail, $150 doz; Doves, 750 doz. DAIRY PRODUCTS.—The supply of fresh California roll batter is not equal to the demand for home consumption, the wholesale price being from 40@50c, the latter for fancy dairies. Eastern Firkin, fair to good, sells at 35@30c. The market is entirely bare of California Cheese; New York State, 18@20c; Western, 14@15c; Fresh California Eggs are coming in slowly, quotable at 37½c per doz; Oregon Eggs in good order sell for 25c, with light receipts. GREEN FRUITS.—Many varieties are now out of market, and nearly all choice fruits, except apples and oranges, are quite scarce, commanding good prices. Oregon supplies the market in part with choice apples. We give the following approximate rates at this writing: Apples, cooking, 60¢@110 box; choice, $100@150; Pearls, $200@250 box; Figs, bd.; Eastern Cranberrys, $17@15 bd.; Oranges, Los Angeles $25@40 M.; Loreto $45 Mexican plenty, at $20@$55 M.; Lemons, Los Angeles $25@40 M.; Goosemushrooms $28 @100; Los Angeles Walnuts $810c @B.

Centinela Colony. The Centinela Rancho, situated on the coast in a westerly direction from Los Angeles and about three miles distant from the limits of that beautiful city, contains 25,000 acres of good arable valley land, a large portion of which is choice bottom and well adapted to the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits. Near the highest elevation is a clanter of large springs, from which flows a stream of crystal water several feet wide and six or eight inches deep, which may be condeneted to almost any portion of the rancho. On the adjoining ranches are strong flowing wells, and it is the opinion of Governor Downey, Mr. Garey and others that artesian water can be readily secured on a large portion of the land purchased. The surveyor is laying out a town in a central position and about three miles from a well sheltered bay. The Los Angeles and Pacific Railroad Company has been incorporated to build a railroad from the landing where a wharf will be built running through Centinela to Los Angeles. There are orange, lemon and lime trees now loaded with fruit, 6,000 orange trees growing in the orchard, 7,000 three-year-old orange trees growing in the nursery, 1,500 Languedoc almond trees just commencing to bear several hundred other fruit trees, and $50,000 worth of sheep and other personal property. The soil is first rate, water good, landing convenient, market good, and the land dog cheap. Centinela will sell well under the hammer. Here is a chance for those who are looking for homes. Over two hundred shares have already been subscribed for, and I presume all the stock will soon be taken. Persons anxious to join the colony should lose no time in making a personal examination of this property. These lands will be disposed of by the auctioneer, as at Lompoc, to the highest bidder whether a member of the Association or not. The purchaser of homesteads will pay ten percent of the purchase money on the day of sale,and ten per cent. semi-annually thereafter with interest at ten per cent.per annum until the whole purchase price has been paid. Persons desiring homes on this beautiful ranch should secure stock equal to the value of the land desired,so that if high prices are obtained,aas at Lompoc,the dividends on their stock can be applied to their final payments on their homesteads,and reduce the cost to or below the original purchase price by the company. O. L. ABOTT, Santa Barbara. Parties desiring to visit the land should take steamer from San Francisco to Los Angeles (fare,$12); or take the Southern Pacific Railroad at San Francisco at 8:10 A.M. via Soledad,或the 4 p.m.train via Bakerfield，to Los Angeles.
