WIT AND HUMOR. There is a Quaker in Philadelphia so upright that he won't sit down to his meals. The young woman who was "driven to distraction" now fears that she will have to walk back. "Saman was a good wife," said a Georgian, speaking of his late wife, "but she could never do up a shirt real nice." A young man in the country announces that he will give a chromo to the young lady who will take him for better or worse. "I say, Pat, what are you about, sweeping out the room?" "No," answers Pat, "I am sweeping out the dirt," and leaving the room." "Is that clock right over there?" asked a visitor the other day. "Right over there!" said the boy, "tain't nowhere else." An Indianapolis woman has pued for a divorce because her husband made her eat for her supper a large loaf of sour bread she had set before him. A Minister who came into church during a sudden shower, requested another to preach for him, as he was very wet. "No," said the other, "preach yourself; you will be dry enough in the pulpit." A Michigan paper says: "Young man, if you are looking for a wife, come to Michigan, the noble Peninsular State, and we'll put you on the track of a young lady who can husk her fifty bushels of corn per day, yoke oxen, drive horses, teach school, and saw with a cross-cut saw. She wants to be loved for herself alone." A woman having fallen into a river, her husband went to look for her, proceeding up the stream from the place where she fell in. The bystanders asked him if he was mad—she could not have come against the stream. The man answered, "She was obstinate and contrary in her life, and no doubt she was the same at her death." Couldn't Stop. Here! hold up!" called a boy to an acquaintance about his own age on Woodward avenue yesterday. "Can't do it!" replied the other, hurrying along; "Bob Stack's been arrested for throwing clubs—mother crying—old man walking the floor in despair and I've got Death of the Irish Giant. James Murphy, Jr., known as the Irish Giant, died in Baltimore early on Friday morning of consumption. Mr. Murphy was born in Waterford, Ireland, was thirty-three years of age and unmarried. He measured nearly eight feet in high. The Baltimore Sun says of him: "Some months ago, when he was in comparatively good health, he weighed 351 pounds. He had weighed more when his health was better. He had been in this country twenty-four years, having been brought here by his father and mother, who still live at the house on Chester street. The giant traveled three years with Barnum as one of the great living curiosities of the world. In his professional career he visited every part of this country, from Maine to California and the extreme South. After terminating his engagement with Barnum the giant traveled with a circus, where he contracted the bronchial disease, which finally ended his life. When in good health he had a fresh, pleasant face, and like all large men, and particularly all giants, except those of the story books and nursery tales, was amiable as he was great in stature. He had a very youthful expression of countenance, coal-black hair, and his hands were so large that one of them could cover the head of a large man, just as an ordinary hand would cover an orange. His feet were not so large, proportionately, as the hands, but beside an ordinary shoe, one of his shoes would seem to be a sufficient habitation for 'the old woman' of the story book, who 'had so many children she did not know what to do.' When the undertaker came to measure the dead giant for his coffin, it was found that the deceased was full eight feet long. Surely the measure of a man is correctly known when he is dead. The coffin will be nearly 8½ feet long. The body was visited by hundreds of people yesterday, the giant being well known on Pell's Point, where he was justly esteemed for his amiability, especially by the children, who, after the first shrinkage, generally liked to be taken to his arms and elevated as far above the heads of their parents as he could conveniently hold them. Some of the little boys in the neighborhood knew him only by the name of "the GFnt." The body lay in a small room about twelve feet square, against the south wall, feet toward the SAN FRANCISCO.

"Can't do it!" replied the other, hurrying along; "Bob Stack's been arrested for throwing clubs—mother crying—old man walking the floor in despair, and I've got to bail him out." A man in Michigan procured a divorce from his wife, intending to marry another woman. The latter, however, got tired of waiting and married another man on the day the divorce was granted. Then the fellow hesitated whether or not to try to make it up with his wife again, and while he was hesitating his wife married another fellow. This is what would naturally be called getting left all round. A Western justice ordered a witness to "come up and be sworn." He was informed that the person was deaf and dumb. "I don't care," said the judge, passionately, "whether he is or not. Here is the Constitution of the United States before me. It guarantees to every man the right of speech; and so long as I have the honor of a seat on this bench it shall not be violated or invaded. What the Constitution guarantees to a man, I am bound he shall have." A farmer called at the house of a lawyer to consult him professionally. "Is t squeer at home?" he inquired of the lawyer's wife. He was answered negatively. After a moment's hesitation a thought relieved him. "Mebby yourself can gi' me information as well as t squeer, as ye're his wife!" The kind lady promised to do so if she found it in her power, and the other proceeded as follows: "Spoozze ye were an old white mear, an'I should borry ye to gwang to mill with grist on yer back, an' we should get no farder than Stair Hill, when all at once ye should back up, and rear up, and pitch up, and kneel down backward, and break yer darned old neck, who'd pay for ye?" "Not I—darn me if I would!" The lady smilingly told him, as she closed the door, that as he had himself settled the case, advice would be superfluous. His Only Reason—Thursday night an old Sixth Warder was found drunk on the street, and yesterday morning he was fined five dollars at the Central Station Court. His wife was there with the money, but she declared that she would let him go up. "Well, Hanner, if you want me to go up I will," he answered. "I don't care for myself, of course, but when I think of you getting up in the morning to build the fires and catching your death of cold, and dying, and me not there to close your darling eyes, it breaks me down!" She paid the fine.—Detroit Free Press. No man shows his insignificance and utter uselessness about the house to such a degree as when his wife is mopping up. He feels this, and so does she, and he knows she feels it, which is worse still. To offer an adverse remark on such an occasion, is about as insane an enterprise as eight feet long. Surely the measure of a man is correctly known when he is dead. The coffin will be nearly 8½ feet long. The body was visited by hundreds of people yesterday, the giant being well known on Fell's Point, where he was justly esteemed for his amiability, especially by the children, who, after the first shrinkage, generally liked to be taken to his arms and elevated as far above the heads of their parents as he could conveniently hold them. Some of the little boys in the neighborhood knew him only by the name of "the GFnt." The body lay in a small room about twelve feet square, against the south wall, feet toward the west, stretching almost across the apartment from side to side. Candles were burning at the head and feet and sides of the corpse, which was covered with a black pall, with a large white cross on the breast, and croses in the corners of the cloth. The father of the giant is a large man. When at his best he stood over six feet in his stockings, though he is now a little bent. The mother is not above the medium size for her sex. Both of the old people are in good health, and seem vigorous for their years. Including the giant, they have had born to them five sons and three daughters. One son only is alive. Some of the children were undersized. Only one a son, attained the size of the father, except the giant, who exceeded the father by nearly two feet. The funeral will take place on Monday, and the burial will be in the Cemetery of the Holy Cross."—New York Times, March 2nd. America the Tomb of Races. Dr. Edward H. Clarke, author of "Sex in Education," brought forward at the Detroit meeting of the National Educational Association a paper on the "Building of a Brain," in which he laid down the problem of life which the American nation confronts, as follows: No race of human kind has yet obtained a footing upon this continent. The Asiatics trace back their life in Asia so far that the distance between today and their recorded starting point seems like a geologic epoch. The descendants of the Ptolemy些 still linger about the Nile. The race that peopled northern Europe when Greece and Rome were young, not only retains its ancient place and power, but makes itself felt and heard throughout the world. On this continent races have been born, and lived and disappeared. Mounds at the West, vestiges in Florida, and traces elsewhere, proclaim at least two extinct races. The cause of their disappearance remains undiscovered. We only know that they are gone. The Indian whom our ancestors confronted was losing; his hold on the continent when the Mayflower anchored in Plymouth Bay, and is now rapidly disappearing also. It remains to be seen if the Anglo-Saxon race, that has ventured upon a continent that has proved the tomb of antecedent races, can be more fortunate than they in maintaining a permanent grasp upon this Western world. One thing at least is sure—it will fail as previous races have failed, unless it can produce a physique and a brain capable of meeting successfully the demands which our climate and civilization make upon it.

He feels this, and so does she, and he knows she feels it, which is worse still. To offer an adverse remark on such an occasion, is about as insane an enterprise as an individual can embark upon. But a Patch street man did it, Saturday. His wife was mopping the kitchen floor, and he was moving about the room to keep out of the way of the wet mop, when he unhappily observed, that that wasn't the way his mother did it. It was done in a flash. There was a sharp report as if three pounds of very wet and very dirty clothes settled across a human face, and the same instant a man went over a chair, and half way under a table, looking very much as if a mud volcano had kicked him in the head.—Danbury News. No RETRACTION.—A whimsical incident once happened in the State of New Hampshire. A peripatetic old codger, named Nascomb, had been brought up in Coos County, and there started a newspaper. One day he received a marriage notice for publication, accompanied by a generous slice of plum-cake. He inserted the notice, acknowledged the cake, and wished the wedded pair all sorts of wedded bliss. Now this affair chanced to be a hoax. One or two wickedly inclined rascals had sent in this notice of the marriage of a couple who had not yet thought of being married; and, as a matter of course, the poor fellow who had been thus falsely set before the world as a husband, hurried to the printing office, and having assured the editor that it was all a base hoax, desired him to correct it. "How would you have me correct it?" asked the editor with dignity. "Why, state that it was a wicked hoax, to be sure." state that I have not been married at all." "Ah, my dear sir," the genius of the sanction replied, with a decisive and majestic wave of the hand, "I cannot do that. I cannot admit that I have been imposed upon. Such puerilarstraction would lose me the confidence of my readers at once. The most I can do, air—and that I will do with pleasure—is to publish in my next issue that your wife has depicted, and you are thus left a single man and free."—N. Y. Ledger. RUSSIAN HORSES.—An English writer says: A specialty of renown in Russia are the little horses of the Mushik. They are hardy in the first instance, as everything is in Russia, and they are quick and strong. Two of these little horses, hardly large enough to be called ponies, will draw a plow all day, with a pause at noon. They are now largely exported (under the name of Litthauers) to Prussia, and in some places have altogether dispossessed the oxen of their old privileges. I worked with them on one of the estates of Mr. Barton Pluce, where they were fed upon-chaff of any description, even of lupines, very successfully, condimented with some potato refuse from the distillery. In harvest-time, when the little mice had to work like brewers' horses, I administered to them some bran, and they grew fat even under so unfavorable circumstances. We soon had some twenty more sent down, and so we would spare them a little, and send them into the closure with the foals now and then. Two of them were able to draw the Champion reaper all day long, and got two pecks of oats each as an encouragement. They too, laid on flesh during the time. I mean to say that they are the most useful animals for easy agriculture existing, as we used to work them. A curious phenomenon, frequently met with in the Indian Ocean, the real cause of which has not been ascertained, is the existence off Malabar, and in certain spots along the Coromandel coast, of vast mud banks, and of tracts of mud suspended in the sea, wherein many kinds of fish find abundance of food, immensity from such disturbance in the surrounding element, and a place in which to breed. The exact cause of the existence of these large tractors of men whose in mud remains in solution is still a mystery, but at any rate the tractors are so smooth that, even during the height of the southwest monsoon, vessels can run shelter into the midst, and once there are as safe as when inside a breakwater.

Accounts from all parts of the coast agree as to the prospect of the coming harvest being the largest State has ever known; the weather having been uniformly favorable during the entire past season, and so continuing up to the present date. Business of all kinds has been quite fair; better perhaps than usual at this season of the year. Grain is steadily moving seaward from the interior, and at the present writing there is a fair prospect of disposing of the surplus on hand before the incoming of the new crop, and that at better prices than have been ruling for the past two months. Purchases are now being made mostly on ship's account, present rates of freight to the United Kingdom being lower than any previous year—the Sovereign of the Soas taking wheat to Liverpool at 22 2s 6d. Wheat has advanced in price under the impression that the stock on hand has been overestimated, and large transactions are reported as having taken place at the higher figures quoted elsewhere. Flour has also felt the advance and better figures are obtained for all grades. Barley is less inquired for, the demand for shipment overland by rail having nearly ceased. Receipts are light, however, and prices hardening. Oats maintain former rates. Corn is in fair demand at unchanged figures. Buckwheat is quiet. Bye is in light demand at nominal prices. Potatoes arrive freely from Humboldt and move off readily at our quotations; receipts of new are increasing daily, selling at good prices. Onions are plenty and cheap. The stock of hops is nearly exhausted and prices rule high. Wool is more enquired for, though there is no improvement to note in prices, which are down to the lowest point apparently. WHEAT—During the past week prices have been steadily advancing, and the range of prices may safely be stated at $1 55@1 65 for choice, for export, and holders are slow to accept even these prices at the close. Millers are offering as high as $1 67% for extra choice lots for milling. Sales for the week are recorded as follows: 150,000 skis for export, private; 25,000 skis extra choice, $1 65; 12,500 skis do; $1 62%; 10,000 skis for export, $1 60; 5,500 skis do; $1 55; 3,500 skis, $1 52%; 5,500 skis, $1 45% for sale; 12,000 skis choice milling, $1 63%. The latest Liverpool quotations are: 8s 11d @9s 3d for average, and 9s 9d @9s 11d for club. FLOUR—There is a fair demand, all the mills around the Bay being actively engaged and running full time, partly on orders for export and partly for home consumption. Prices have been advanced for the finest grades—country brands of Superior are unchanged.

The thirty-first report of the directors of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company was made to its members at the annual meeting, January 25, 1875, and it is such an one as should come from the richest and most prosperous life insurance company in New England; as it is also the senior company of Massachusetts. As the New England Mutual was established upon strict principles of conservatism with respect to all its financial operations, so it has also been liberal and indulgent to all its policy-holders, and between the two come the confidence and the popularity which have been awarded to it. The Manufacture of Canned Goods in San Francisco. The Factory of Canning & Co. We give in this number of the Journal of Commerce an illustration of one of the largest local manufacturing establishments on this Coast, and also one of the oldest. The name of Cutting & Co. is as well known on the Pacific Coast as is that of Crane & Blackwell in England, and it is as fully deserving of honor as its older prototype. The Factory and Store Rooms, which are probably the finest buildings in that quarter of the city, are located on Main street between Market and Mission, occupying the whole of a two-serva lot. The warehouse has a frontage of 182 feet on Main street, by one of 45 feet 10 inches on Spear street, and extends 273 feet between the streets. The factory building is a frame one, two stories in height with a basement, while the storehouse is of brick and is made so as to resist, the severest earthquake. The whole framework consists of immense beams and joists firmly bolled together and to the roof, so that the walls might fall while the floors, roof, etc., would remain standing and uninjured with their contents. The factory is 100 feet square. The basement is used for storage. The ground floor is used for general manufacturing purposes; while the second floor is appropriated to the manufacture of Cans and the storage of Tinners' stock. The Process of Manufacture Is very simple. We do not, however, propose entering into details, but will simply content ourselves with saying that the fruit having been received on the main floor of the factory is first carefully weighed and has its quality carefully examined, is then passed different gauges of laborers who prepare it by peeling, coring and stoning, is packed in cans and covered with Syrup of sugar, sealed and passed through a bath. It is then placed on trucks which by a steam elevator are carried to the second story where they are lacquered labelled and cased. The fruits used are all of the best quality—of the kind found on the best private tables. None but the purest white Sugar is used. In the Summer season there are not less than four Hundred Manda Employed. Of which forty are occupied in making Tin Cans, the balance in preparing and packing the fruit. The factory is divided into eight departments in seven of which none but white labor is employed. The firm is gradually trying to work out the Chinese element, and is doing so as fast as circumstances will admit. They would now employ none but white labor, but it is difficult to get so many men and boys as they need for three or four months only. The power used is supplied by an engine 60 to 70 horsepower with two fifteen foot boilers. All the cooking is done in iron vents heated by steam coils. Jellies and preserves are made in copper kettles in the same manner. The extent of their trade is immensely last year they put up fully. Two Million Cans Of Table Fruits, Jams, Jellies, etc., which are New England Mutual Life Insurance Company. Review of their Annual Statement. The thirty-first report of the directors of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company was made to its members at the annual meeting, January 25, 1875, and it is such an one as should come from the richest and most prosperous life insurance company in New England, as it is also the senior company of Massachusetts. As the New England Mutual was established upon strict principles of conservatism with respect to all its financial operations, so it has also been liberal and indulgent to all its policyholders, and between the two come the confidence and popularity which have been awarded to it. In the present report we learn that the total receipts for premiums and interest in 1874 were $3,267,990.61. The death claims were $81,457.85 on 239 lives insured under 265 policies. Endowments matured and paid, 71,300. The result of the business of the year is an increase of the funds of $1,474,189, after allowing for claims not due to $102,200. The market value of the securities of the company is $219,771.56 more than the cost upon the company's books, but the directors say this item is not used in the computation for surplus, and is valuable only as showing that the standard of the company's investments has been rigidly adhered to. The amount of premium returned in 1874 was $508,835.33, an increase of $86,214.19 over the amount returned in the preceding year. The amount insured during the year was $4,634,001.05 on 1,356 policies, against $4,778.02 on 2,056 policies in 1873, exhibiting a much less falling off in amount and numbers than was to be expected from the general prostration which has affected every kind of business since the panic of two years ago. The total funds of the company have reached the amount of $13,558,847.13, which, after providing for the balance of unpaid distribution account, $142,230.15, and claims not yet due, of $102,200, will be reduced to $13,114,416.98, a sum not only amply sufficient to provide for the valuation of the company's liabilities upon policies, but showing a surplus to be distributed among the members. Notwithstanding a slight diminution in the receipts for the year (amounting to less than $25,000 in an aggregate sum of more than three millions of dollars), and the fact of an increase over 1873 in the amount of death claims paid of $55,069.85), the general business of the company may be considered to be in a flourishing condition. The surplus for the year is very favorable, being very nearly the same as last year, except that less gain has been realized through the vitality of members or smallness of claims, for loss during the year, compared to what was expected by the table of mortality. The total amount to be distributed to members the present year is $575,000. In regard to the "cost of insurance," the report draws a parallel between the expense of insurance in mutual and stock companies, with illustrative tables, showing that the premium charge of the New England Mutual is in the end more favorable than that of stock companies. The report makes some reference to the company's new building on Milk street, which will be ready for occupancy in the coming Summer, and concludes with a brief reference to the company's operations during its thirty-one years, during which 52,000 persons have been insured to the amount of $143,000,000. Death claims and endowments of more than 9,000,000 have been paid, and the members have had returned to them more than 60,000 in surplus—a record of the past which is a certain guarantee of future prosperity.

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 which is choice bottom and well adapted to Of which forty are occupied in making Tin Cans, the balance in preparing and packing the fruit. The factory is divided into eight departments, in seven of which none but white labor is employed. The firm is gradually trying to work out the Chinese element, and is doing so as fast as circumstances will admit. They would now employ none but white labor, but it is difficult to get so many men and boys as they need for three or four months only. The power used is supplied by an engine 60 to 70 horsepower power, with two fifteen foot boilers. All the cooking is done in iron vats heated by steam coils. Jellies and preserves are made in copper kettles in the same manner. The extent of their trade is immense, last year they put up fully Two Millions Cans Of Table Fruits, Jams, Jellies, etc., which are worth on a moderate estimate half a million dollars. This includes Canned Meats which are also put up by the firm. Of Meat, there is a good deal being put up for export to England, but the competition from Australia and South America is very close, and there will be considerable difficulties to encounter in this department. Salmon Packing This firm has a large establishment on Columbia River, where they put up 35,000 cases a year. Most of this is shipped to England Australia and South America; where on account of its splendid quality it finds a ready market. In fruits and vegetables they have done an unusually Large Export Trade For the past season. They have gone chiefly to Western and Middle States. Here their splendid quality has obtained for them universal favor. Did Gold and Greenbucks more nearly approximate in value; this branch of the trade would become a most important one. As it is now,the goods cost the house a certain amount in Gold,nobar matter what premium currency has East.Should the latter be low,they can be sold at a profit; otherwise those their prices as the premium on currency advances.Having reached a certain point they can sell no more,and must either cease buying or sell at a loss.At the present time the premium leaves no profit,and the consequence is a decline in the demand for goods from California.In Montana and Idaho they enjoy a very large trade heretofore almost exclusively monopolized by the merchants of St Louis.Their goods are found on the tables of every hotel on the borders of Pacific,and on every ship that leaves port of San Francisco.Besides selling their own goods they also sell J.Winslow's Corn and Lobstersfor which they find a large and ready sale on this coast.The firm have identified with the progress of the coast for over the past twenty years,having began business with twelve men.

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 erytal water several feet wide and six or eight inches deep, which may be conducted 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 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 sanctioner, as at Lompoz, 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 Lompoz, 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.
