DETROIT CURRENCY. From the Free Press. Is it Robert Katie Owen, or Katie Robert Dale, or King Katie Owen, or what? There’s been so much said that the names have got slightly mixed. When a Milwaukee lawyer drives up with a gorgeous turn-out to take his girl for a sleigh ride, her mother feels the need of fresh air and goes with them. A Philadelphia broker courted a young lady for six years, and was too bashful to ask for her hand until her brother horse-whipped him into it. In New Zealand they have to advertise for men to run for fat offices, and it is evident that the American traveler has not reached New Zealand. The Indianapolis Bentzel believes in giving the small boy a fair show, but we never knew of a small boy who wouldn’t take in all his privileges. Dio Lewis thinks that a strong man might live on roots for ten or twelve days, but we know of men who have lived for years on wind—a far cheaper diet. A church sexton at Watertown, New York, has officiated at 4,893 funerals and cried at every one of them, and he has tears enough for as many more funerals. There’s where a man has the advantage. He can undress in a cold room and have his bed warm before a woman has got her hair-pins out and her shoes untied. The Chicago Tribune says it’s shampooing which makes so many men bald-headed. The occasional handsfull lost in family disturbances are provided for by nature. Think of that! When you take a girl to spelling school in Nevada you have to ride twenty-four miles, and she expects you to keep your arm around her all the time! Virginia has a law by which a vagrant and a public nuisance can be put up at auction and sold for sixty days. Has anybody written to George Francis Train to keep away from Virginia? The belle of La Crosse calls herself “Izzie!” her name is Elizabeth, and when her mother calls her from the foot of the stairs she exclaims: “Lize! Lize! get up and wash them dishes!” A circuit preacher in Missouri prayed for rain one night at a farmer's house, and Proceedings of Congress. House. The only business done in the House was the adoption of the rule preventing filibustering motions. The debate was sharp and serious, and resulted in Rainfall and Cox resigning from the Committee on Rules. Following is the rule as adopted: “Whenever a question is pending before the House, the Speaker shall not entertain any motion of a dilatory character, except one motion to adjourn; and the motion to fix a day to which the House shall adjourn; but the previous question on engrossment and third reading of any bill or joint resolution shall not be ordered during the first day of its consideration unless two-thirds of the members present shall second the demand; provided that this rule shall not apply to House resolutions; and provided further, that it shall not apply to any proposition to appropriate money, credit or other property of the United States, except the regular annual appropriation bills.” After its adoption, Butler moved to go to business on the Speaker’s table, to take up the Senate Civil Rights Bill. Ward, of New Jersey, moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill giving the heirs of soldiers killed in battle who had enlisted for less than a year, the same bounties as if they had enlisted for three years. Without action on either motion the House adjourned. The Civil Rights bill came up, and the Senate bill was offered as a substitute. Various propositions requiring unanimous consent were made by members, but Butler of Massachusetts insisted on the regular order, which was on present consideration of his motion to reconsider the vote of last session by which the Civil Rights Bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The vote resulted, yes 147, nays 91, and reconsideration was then carried, 151 to 93. Butler asked if the previous question could be seconded to-day under the new rule, and the speaker replied that it could only be by a two-thirds vote. Butler then announced his proposed management of the bill. He would first yield to the motion to substitute the Senate for the House bill; then yield to White Alabama, to offer a substitute; then yield to a motion to amend by striking out all relations to schools. In this way all shades of Republican opinion might have their ideas voted upon. This programme was carried out, and Butler then gave notice that he would let the debate run all day, or as long as the House chose to sit, dividing the time equally between the friends and the opponents of the bill, and would move the previous question at 1 o'clock to morrow. Lynch (colored) of Mississippi, then read a speech in favor of the bill, at the conclusion of which a recess was taken till 7:30 p.m. The evening session was occupied exclusively in debate on the Civil Rights Bill. The attendance of spectators was fully as large as yesterday, a large portion being colored people. The Civil Rights Bill was taken up at 10:30 A.M., and a number of uninteresting speeches were made. At 2:15 Butler called for the previous question. VIRGINIA has a law by which a vagrant and a public nuisance can be put up at auction and sold for sixty days. Has anybody written to George Francis Train to keep away from Virginia? The belle of La Crosse calls herself "Izzie;" her name is Elizabeth, and when her mother calls her from the foot of the stairs she exclaims: "Lize! Lize! get up and wash them dishes!" A circuit preacher in Missouri prayed for rain one night at a farmer's house, and the farmer, who had a horse race arranged for the next day, was so mad that he turned the good man out doors. They tried to scare a Toledo man in Missouri by threatening to tar and feather him, but he replied: "Come on with your old tar—I've been there six times and I've got a receipt for washing it off!" When a Chicago jury will give a freckled-nosed woman $10,000 damages on a breach of promise suit, it stands a Michigan man to throw a tumbler at his landlady every time she smiles at him. A French girl nineteen years of age and worth 14,000,000 francs, advertises that she wants to marry some one who will love her for her goodness. And hang it! says Blabbe I was married only a month ago! A Postoffice Story. Mr. John H. Hallett, one of the oldest public servants in the New York postoffice, remembers that in 1835 a young woman used to call every week for a letter addressed "Miss Mary H. Russell, Postoffice." The regularity of her visits, and her apparent unwillingness to give any account of herself, elicited much curiosity among the clerks, but their inquisitiveness was never gratified. Years passed away and gray hairs appeared on the woman's head, but she made her calls as regularly as ever, and the expected letter was always waiting for her. Nearly ten years have elapsed since her last visit, but the letters still come addressed to her name, although the intervals between them are longer than in the old time. These letters have, of course, been opened but they contain no clue to the identity of either the writer or the recipient. Each contains a $5 bill with a few lines of writing to say when the next remittance will be made. No address, no date, no signature. The handwriting is that of a man apparently feeble with age, and another letter with the usual superscription is, at present writing, lying unopened at the post-office. Maria H. Russell, an elderly woman ten years ago, is probably dead. The letters with their contents are sent to Washington, but no one can guess who the anonymous writer is who so faithfully maintained his correspondence. Postoffices are essentially practical places, but little bits of romance may sometimes be found even in their history. Curious Glass Tumblers. Among the curiosities exhibited at the late Vienna Exposition, were some articles of glassware manufactured in Hungary. The peculiarity to be noticed in these articles was a beautiful iridescence and play of urinistic colors, which gave lean opinion might have their ideas voted upon. This programme was carried out, and Butter then gave notice that he would let the debate run all day, or as long as the House chose to sit, dividing the time equally between the friends and the opponents of the bill, and would move the previous question at 1 o'clock to-morrow. Lynch (colored) of Mississippi, then read a speech in favor of the bill, at the conclusion of which a recess was taken till 7:30 P.M. The evening session was occupied exclusively in debate on the Civil Rights Bill. The attendance of spectators was fully as large as yesterday, a large portion being colored people. The Civil Rights Bill was taken up at 10:20 A.M., and a number of uninteresting speeches were made. At 2:15 Butler called for the previous question. Shanks, In the course of his speech had the Equal Rights plank of the Cincinnati platform of 1872 read, causing laughter all over the House, which was renewed when he announced that he would offer it as a preamble to the bill. Butler accepted the substitute, and the bill is now in that shape before the House. At 12:40 Butler rose to close the debate. The scene presented in the House has rarely been surpassed. Every gallery, including the diplomatic and ladies galleries, was crowded, and nearly a thousand people crowded around the doors attempting to gain entrance. Butler's speech presented no notable points beyond an attempt to retaliate on John Young Brown, by having read a treasonable letter written by him at the beginning of the war, in spite of the objections of Hale of New York and others. Hale moved that the letter be stricken from the record, but no vote was taken; Butler concluded his speech, and a vote was then taken on the school amendment which was carried, 128 to 48. The next vote was on the motion to insert the amendment of White as a substitute for Cessna's amendment, which was practically the Senate bill. White's amendment was rejected, as was Cessna's. A vote was then taken on the adoption of the preamble moved by Shanks, several Democrats voting for it. The preamble was adopted by 219 to 23; and at 3 o'clock the bill was placed upon its passage. The vote on its passage was—ayes, 153; noes, 98; J. Ambler Smith, Standard, Crutchfield, Lowndes, Roderiek R. Butler, Shan, Bromberg and Phelps, Republicans voted in the negative. No demonstrations either on the floor or in the galleries followed the announcement of the vote. Butler of Massachusetts introduced an Act removing restrictions on the right of Representatives elect to receive pay during the recess of Congress. Referred. Senate. Pratt presented joint resolutions of the Indiana Legislature in favor of the passage of a bill granting pensions to the surviving sailors and soldiers of the Mexican war. Ordered printed and to lie on the table. He sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a letter from the Commissioner of Pensions stating that the number of survivors of that war was estimated at 35,604; the number of widows of soldiers and sailors about 12,600. The House amendent to the bill to provide for payment of interest on the 3.65 bonds of the District of Columbia was agreed to, and the bill passed. At the expiration of the morning hour consideration of the Schurz Louisiana resolution was resumed and West took the floor. Clayton presented a petition from James Brooks claiming to be the legal Governor of Arkansas, and praying that—the office now withheld from him by force and fraud be restored by the action of Congress and he be protected therein. Ordered printed and referred. Sherman submitted a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire into existing legislation in the District of Columbia; if any there be, to suppress gambling establishments in the District, and if there is no such legislation, to report a bill to confer such power. Adopted. Windom from the Committee on Transportation, submitted the preamble and resolutions agreed on by the committee yesterday. Curious Glass Tumblers. Among the curiosities exhibited at the late Vienna Exposition, were some articles of glassware manufactured in Hungary. The peculiarity to be noticed in these articles was a beautiful iridescence and play of prismatic colors, which gave to the articles a pleasing and novel effect. Iridescence, it is well known, is caused by the interference of light reflected from two inner surfaces of an angle, or from a concave surface. It is this property which gives to the mother-of-pearl (a ring) its peculiar brilliancy. Mr. N. M. Lowe, of Boston, one of the artisan commissioners to Vienna, has a tumbler in his possession of the manufacture spoken of, and thinks the process of making such ware—which is held as a close secret at the place of manufacture—can be had in America. Although the secret of the process is a close one at present, it is evident the iridescent state of the glass is produced by mechanically affecting the surface in some peculiar manner. The process, though no doubt simple enough when known, adds materially to the cost of the ware, a tumbler like the one in Boston selling for two florins, or about one dollar. An ELOPEMENT IN MAINE—a youth in Portland, Maine, 17 years old, has just married a girl aged 15. The Press says the latter's father objected to the match, and when he heard that the day for the marriage was set, locked the girl in her room. But love recognizes no locks or bars, and, as the appointed hour for the wedding drew near, the young lady jumped from her window. It had been agreed that the couple should meet at the house of a Justice of the Peace, and there be made one. The young lady in question was promptly on hand at the appointed time and place, and the ceremony was duly performed. When the indignant father went to the room of his daughter to release her, he found the room vacant and a note on the table saying that she was Mrs. ——. The father at once sent word to her that she need not return to his house. It was probably unnecessary; as the young couple are now living as happy as clams in high water, all by themselves. At the expiration of the morning hour consideration of the Schurz Louisiana resolution was resumed and West took the floor. Clayton presented a petition from James Brooks claiming to be the legal Governor of Arkansas, and praying that the office now withheld from him by force and fraud be restored by the action of Congress and he be protected therein. Ordered printed and referred. Sherman submitted a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire into existing legislation in the District of Columbia, if any there be, to suppress gambling establishments in the District, and if there is no such legislation, to report a bill to confer such power. Adopted. Windom from the Committee on Transportation, submitted the preamble and resolutions agreed on by the committee yesterday, recommending appropriations for the improvement of certain water routes. It was announced that Sargent, who was to address the Senate on Louisiana matters today, had been taken suddenly ill and could not speak to-day, and, on motion of Ingalls, the Committee on Indian Affairs was allowed till 2 p.m. for the disposition of bills on the calendar from that committee. Ingalls called up the bill to authorize the Seneca nation of Indians in New York to lease lands within the Cattaraugus and Alleghany Reservations, and to confirm existing leases. A long discussion ensued, McCreery and Hamilton, of Texas, opposing the bill as part of a scheme to swindle these Indians out of lands they had held peaceably for ninety-nine years, and the title to which was not now and never was in the United States. Hamilton presented a petition from the Indians against the proposed bill, and McCreery moved to recommit it; but Ingalls defended the bill, and it finally passed, 26 to 17. The House bill appropriating $25,000 to defray the expenses of entertaining King Kalakaua during his recent visit here, passed. The Senate then disposed of a large number of bills reported by the Committee on Pensions. Morrill, of Vermont, called up the resolution of the Vermont Legislature protesting against the ratification of the proposed Canadian reciprocity treaty, and addressed the Senate in opposition to the treaty. After executive session the State adjourned. The Senate in executive session this afternoon considered the proposed Canadian reciprocity treaty, which found few if any friends, and was rejected without division. Logan, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported back the House bill to provide relief for the grasshopper sufflers. Morton moved that the Senate proceed to consideration of the joint resolution for the repeal of the 22d Joint rule of the two Houses of Congress. Agreed to, 21 to 18. Morton said the existence of the rule subjected the country to great danger. He offered the following as a substitute: No objection to the reception and counting of any electoral vote or votes from any State shall be valid unless such objection is sustained by an affirmative vote of the two Houses. Thurman moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Privileges and Electives, that it might be perfected. Agreed to. Adjourned. SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. There is very little to note in way of change in our report of the market for the past week. Crop prospects are very promising; the weather is particularly favorable for the season, and if our exchanges report correctly, farmers in every section of the coast are making the most of time and opportunity with a view of reaping abundant harvests this year. Wheat is slow of sale at unchained rates. Tonage is abundant, and charters for grain in first-class iron and wooden ships are mainly being equal to the demand for all purposes, both for export and home consumption. Barley maintains the high prices quotable for the past two months both on account of light and export requirements overland. Oats move off slowly with but little inquiry. Corn has improved in price with a better demand. Buckwheat is very quiet at nominal prices. Rye is unchanged. Potatoes are firm and in good demand. Onion has advanced steadily. Hops are held in light stock and farm with few transactions. Wool is quiet and prices are unusually low; the larger portion of the stock on hand not being available for Eastern requirement on account of its general poor quality. 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 in good demand, with very light supplies, but a continuance of fair weather will soon fill our market and cause a falling off in prices. WHEAT.-Prices remain as last quoted. The low price paid for shipping qualities is quite discouraging to holders, and, as the portion for export is purchased on limited orders, there being but little speculative, transaction are necessarily very restricted. Liverpool quotations at this are as follows: 93 d6£7d for average, and 85 d6£10d for club. Transactions for the week embrace the following in lots: 54 choice milling, $1 60; 15,000 sks do, $1 10,000 sks do, for export, $1 55; 30,000 sks do, $1 52; 5,500 sks @1 47½. Ivor parcels are very slow of sale, ruling sum $1 25¼ according to order, condition, and cleanliness. The range of the market may be said to be about $1 40½ to $1 60 as extremes. FLOUR.-The market is unchanged since our last business for the week has been quite light. Rates are as follows for cargo loads: an perineer country brands, $4 00£425; elty mills, standard $4 25£430; extra superline, $4 75£550; silk dressed $5 12£@$5 25. BARLEY.-The market is very quiet; stocks are reported light and prices stationary but firm. Transactions for the week past are reported as follows: 4,500 centals coast within the range of $1 45½ to $1 52½; 2,500 etls fair do, $1 55; 1,000 etls extra choice brewing at $1 65 @$1 70¢ etl. OATS.-Sales for the week have been ralte at $1 65 for light feed; fair to middling, $1 70¢ etl; choice is quotable within the range of $1 75½ to $1 80¢ etl, with light rpts and few transactions to record. RYE.-Is in fair demand; receipts are right. There is a slight decline in price, the present open with lower lights more room, and all items is warranted to get perfect satisfaction. Customs regulations still apply daily. J.H.D.BROWN succeeds to the best mind. SOUTH ADVERTISING. PUBLICATIONS AND OTHER MEDIA. Answer the new holdings erected in San Francisco during the past few months, a prominent place should be given in the landmark four story building erected by the enterprising firm of Feelheimer, Goodkind & Co., manufacturer and importer of clothing. Nos. II and III have immense street. It has a frontage of 60 feet and a depth of 90, providing abundant accommodation for the storing and display of the immense stock of goods which this firm constantly on hand. It is built after the style of wholesale houses in New York, and is provided with Hinkle's latest improved elevator. This firm having determined, when they decided upon the construction of the building, to have not only one of the most handsome, but also the most convenient wholesale clothing warehouse on the Pacific Coast, so ordered the internal arrangements as to comport best with convenience and effect. All the floors therefore are without division, and all the goods are placed to the best advantage. The basement is devoted to case goods and packing; the first floor to pantaloons, diapors and overcoats; the second story to casi-mee suits and castor clothing; the third story to Spring and Summer clothing, and the fourth to surplus goods. Each floor has uniform features of finish and elegance, perfect light, and all the best modern conveniences desirable in the business. As to the class of goods composing the stock it is almost supererogatory to say that there are in every department the very finest that can be procured in the country. Feelheimer, Goodkind & Co. have always made it a point to have their clothing made of the best grades of material, in addition to keeping a complete assortment of low and medium grades. Indeed it is claimed for them that they have long enjoyed the reputation of not only keeping the finest goods, but also the best fitting clothing manufactured in the United States. They base their claims well, too, for the firm has been established in business in this city for the past twelve years, has given the best possible proofs of fair dealing, integrity and enterprise, has now the largest house in the city exclusively devoted to gentlemen's and youth's clothing, has an establishment in New York in which all the clothing is manufactured directly imports its foreign goods from the most celebrated manufactories in Europe, has perfectly arranged arrangements in every branch of its business and commands a vast circle of patronage that strongly influences the trade. Thus, in the plainest terms, the proprietors of the handsome new Sansome-street building are well supported in their claims to be regarded as deserving, to a special extent, of recognition in the business world; and it is only reasonable to suppose that they will now quicken you can be reduced for a shillings.

The distinctive feature of the machine consists in the fact that the drying is done by hot air combined with steam. The great advantage claimed for this is that it can be adapted to any kind of fruit, some requiring more heat than others. Another advantage is that there is no danger of burning the fruit. Apples can be dried in from two to six hours, as the operator may desire. The heating is done by a boiler, the same fire furnishing the hot air and generating the steam. The engineer can regulate the degree of heat and amount of steam as may be desired. This engine also drives a fan for the purpose of keeping up a circulation of air, giving more or less draft, as desired. The advantages of this fruit drier are: 1st- After the fruit is prepared it takes two men to tend it—one as engineer, and the other to put in and take out the fruit. 2nd- Convenience; as it is only five or six feet high it can be placed under any ordinary shed. 3rd- Every machine is furnished with a steam boiler and five-horse power engine, which can be used to run any kind of machinery; a pump that can be used for irrigating purposes if desired. It can be used when the drier is in operation or separately, as may be needed. 4th- The entire cost of engine and drier is less than one-half the price of any other drier of the same capacity. 5th- The advantage of combining steam with hot air, as already mentioned. 6th- This drier can be attached to any steam boiler and engine now in use, and two kinds of business carried on at trifling expense, considering the advantages gained. One of Plummer's California Fruit Driers is now in operation at the factory, 31 Beale street, Sun Francisco, where it can be seen. This machine dries 2000 pounds of squash in eight hours.

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.

GREEN FRUITS—Many varieties are now out of market, and nearly all choice fruits, except apples and oranges, are quite scarce, commanding good prices. We have not received any supplies of apples from Oregon for some time on account of the closing of the Columbia river by ice; consequently at this writing choice apples are scarce and command higher prices. We give the following as approximate rates at this writing: Apples, cooking, 7½c @$100 P box; choice, $150@200 P box; Pearls, $100@$150 P box; Figs, $6½%@8½%; Eastern Cranberries, $18½%@144 P box; Oranges, Los Angeles $22½%@M Mexican plenty at $30½%@M Lemon, Los Angeles $14½%@M Lime, $12½%@M Goronilla, $7½%@$100; Los Angeles Walnut, $14½%@R. 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 springs, from which flows a stream of crystal water several feet wide and six or eight inches deep, which may be conducted to almost any portion of the rancho. On the adjoining ranches are strong flowing wells, end 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 auctioner, as at Lompoc, to the highest bidder whether a member of the Association or not. The purchaser of homesteads will pay ten per cent. 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 rancho should secure stock equal to the value of the land desired, so that if high prices are obtained, as 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 company.
