DETROIT CURRENCY. From the Detroit Free Press. Cases of toilet soap and $2 suspenders are beginning to reach the Nebraska sufferers. The last book is entitled: "Only a Woman." If that's all there's no use of an excitement, as the last census shows over 14,000,000 of 'em. If Mr. Bergh can send a man to jail for killing a mad cat, we'd like to know what we can do with a boy who feeds marbles to a parrot. If there wasn't any first day of April it would be a good idea to call the 14th of February "All Fools Day." "Let us pause at the grave of Webster," said a Vermont lecturer, "Too cold!" shouted a man in the audience, and no pause was made. A Chicago man says that if Job had had a jealous wife instead of boils he would have known what real misery was. The Sandwich King took twelve nice spittoons home with him, and probably sits up every night till midnight to spit in them. "Ir isn't loud praying which counts with the Lord so much as giving four full quarts for every gallon," says an Arkansas circuit-rider. The Ohio Legislature refused to change a man's name to "John Smith," on the ground that there was already one John Smith in that State. Mr. Childs, of Philadelphia, is not Mr. Childs at all. He is George Washington Childs, A. M., A. B., D. D., P. M., S. S., and he never opens a letter not properly directed. The English are going to make a cannon that will throw a ball thirteen miles, but the cheapest way is to get close up to a man and knock him down with a club. If you want to escape the heated term come over to our State and sit on the top rail of some fence and dangle your feet in the snow. Tom Trump owns stock in a sewing machine company, and he raised his little voice for an extension of the "feed" patent. Robert Dale Owen says you can't believe in what you see, but just let him see a runaway horse coming! Bayard Taylor says that California is the place to raise children, but we know of lots of people who are doing well enough in Michigan. Lord Macaulay a Thief. It is possible to be a thief without intending any wrong not, and to take another's property violently without guilt. Lord Macaulay was an unconscious thief in this way, and had an amusing experience, though very mortifying. Well, Macaulay was at Home when he was quite a young man—before he was celebrated at all, you know—and one night he came here to do just what we are doing. Well, he was all by himself under those dark arches, where it is as black as night, when all of a sudden a man in a large cloak brushed past him rather rudely, as Macaulay thought, and passed on into the darkness. Macaulay's first impulse was to clasp his hand to his watch-pocket; and sure enough he found that his watch was not there. He looked after the man who he doubted not had stolen his watch as he brushed past him, rushed after him, overtook him, and seizing him by the collar demanded his watch. Now Macaulay could, at that time, speak very little Italian, and understood none when spoken. So he was obliged to limit his attack on the thief to a violent shaking of him by the collar and an angry repitation of the demand, "Orologio! orologio!" The man thus attacked poured forth a torrent of rapidly spoken words, of which Macaulay understood not one syllable. But he again administered a severe shaking to his captive, stamping his foot angrily on the ground, and again vociferating, "Orologio! orologio!" Whereupon the detected thief drew forth the watch and handed it to his captor. Macaulay, satisfied with his prowess, turned on his heel as he pocketed the watch and saw nothing more of the man. But when he returned to his apartment at night his landlady met him at the door holding out something in her hand, and saying— "Oh, sir, you left your watch on the table, so I thought it better to take care of it. Here it is." "Good gracious! What is this, then?" stammered Macaulay, drawing from his pocket the watch he had so gaillantly recovered in the Coliseum. It was a watch he had never seen before. The truth was plain—he had been the thief! The poor man he had so violently attacked and apostrophized in the darkness and solitude of the Coliseum arches had been terrified into surrendering his own watch to the resolute ruffian who, as he conceived, had pursued him to rob him. The next morning Macaulay, not a little crest-fallen, hastened to the office of SAN FRÉ The long legged spring rains have past week reports all portions of news of showers to insure full kind for the co-ventured since one quotations.

Tom Thumb owns stock in a sewing machine company, and he raised his little voice for an extension of the "feed" patient. Robert Dale Owen says you can't believe in what you see, but just let him see a runaway horse coming! Bayard Taylor says that California is the place to raise children, but we know of lots of people who are doing well enough in Michigan. An Illinois boy has carved the likeness of long John Wentworth out of a pumpkin, and the resemblance is so close that his friends are enthusiastic. "There! that explains where my clothesline went to!" exclaimed an Iowa woman as she found her husband hanging in the stable. A Detroiter says he don't find fault with the capital prize in the Louisville lottery being reduced to $98,000. What hurt him is the fact that his ticket didn't draw it. What inducement is there for an agriculturist when a Chicago judge sends a man to State Prison for three years for "raising" a small bag of spring wheat. You dargn' go into a bar-room at Kansas City and call out, "Judge, you lie!" Every man in the room would know you meant him, and you would have to run a mile a minute to get away from them. "That clock, stranger," said a Michigan farmer, "was the best kind of a clock up to six months ago, when my daughter began to have beas, and now the blamed thing is two hours too slow." Livers Mended. An English physician, says the Danbury News, recently removed a section of a patient's liver, placed it on a plate, scraped it carefully, and returned it to its place, fully restored to its normal action. This promises to work a revolution in the treatment of disease, and in a few years we will have an addition to domestic literature something like: "Husband, I wish you would take John's right lung down to the doctor's this morning and have the middle valve fixed;" or, "Will you stop into the doctor's when you come home at noon, and see if he has Mary's liver mended, as she wants to go out to tea this evening?" The practice will become so common in time, we are sure, that none of the neighbors will be in any way startled to see a wife with a veil tied round her head, leaning out of a bedroom window, shouting to a receding husband, "Je-remiab! tell Dr. Scrapem to send up Willie's right kidney at once, whether it is done or not. He's had it more than a week, and the child might as well be without any kidney, and done with it." Caught. Shooting buffalo, and even deer, from the cars of the Pacific Railroad, while crossing the great plains, is a not uncommon incident in the adventures of modern American travel; but the Dubuque Times reports something more novel—without even the smell of gunpowder: On Friday evening, as Conductor Carney's train on the Illinois Central was Oh, sir, you left your watch on the table, so I thought it better to take care of it. Here it is." "Good gracious! What is this, then?" stammered Macaulay, drawing from his pocket the watch he had so gallantly recovered in the Coliseum. It was a watch he had never seen before. The truth was plain—he had been the thief! The poor man he had so violently attacked and apostrophized in the darkness and solitude of the Coliseum arches had been terrified into surrendering his own watch to the resolute ruffian who, as he conceived, had pursued him to rob him. The next morning Macaulay, not a little crest-fallen, hastened to the office of the Questor with the watch, and told his story. "Ah, I see, said the Questor; "you had better leave the watch with me. I will take your excuses to the owner; he has already been here to denounce you. To THE UNMUSICAL...there is no greater delusion than that of supposing that the best music can be enjoyed only by the "musical." Ordinary people can derive keen pleasure from a sympathetic listening to great music if they will but believe that they can, and so attend to it accordingly. There is no need of being billed by a want of knowledge concerning keys, nor by an ignorance of modulation. Your next neighbor may know that the air began in G major, but you can still get your own simpler pleasure out of it. What is it to me what Titian's secret of pleasure might have been? He had it, and that is enough for one who cannot even draw. The first rule in listening to music is—to listen. We do not want to arouse ourselves to a frenzy of delight, but we do want to hear what the music is like. A very simple and very good rule for those who are perplexed by an orchestra, and fancy they are puzzled to know where the tune comes in, is to listen to one instrument, the violins, for instance, alone for a time. These will probably take up the melody and sing it plainly enough, then the movement may become more complicated and the air seem to have grown florid, to be broken perhaps into brilliant fragments, but heartken!—the violoncelli have taken it up, and over it floats this new and lovely strain of the violins, then the flutes catch the melody, the cornets and the bassoon swell the harmony, the drum makes its rhythmic beats, the whole orchestra is alive with the theme, and before you know it you are in the very centre of the music, and what was before involved and intricate now becomes plain and beautiful.—Scribner for April. REMARKABLE ARTESIAN WELL...One of the most remarkable artesian wells of our own time (says the Garden) is that of Gronelle, in the Paris basin. It was undertaken in 1834, up to which time no successful artesian sinking had reached a greater depth than about 1,000 feet. It was calculated that the water-bearing stratum sought would be reached at a depth of 1,500 feet; but that was not deep enough. The boring continued, with intervals, until 1841, when on the 26th of February, the boring-rod was observed to descend suddenly several yards. In a few hours the water reached with immense violence, mixed with sand and mud. But the sand and mud soon ceased bearing FLOUR...The trade.

Shooting buffalo, and even deer, from the cars of the Pacific Railroad, while crossing the great plains, is a not uncommon incident in the adventures of modern American travel; but the Dabuque Times reports something more novel—without even the smell of gunpowder: On Friday evening, as Conductor Carney's train on the Illinois Central was passing the timber region of Central Grove a flock of wild turkeys were noticed running along the track a considerable distance ahead of the engine. The conductor stationed himself on the pilot and as the train approached the birds, they took to the wing, rising directly in front of the engine. For a few seconds, which seemed like minutes, there was a most exciting race, but the engine was too fast for the birds, and as it caught up with them the smoke-stack knocked three or four of them to the ground, and Mr. Carney caught one, a monstrous gobbler, by the legs, and so strong was the bird that it was only by desperate efforts Mr. Carney could regain his place on the pilot with one hand, and hold the bird with the other. He succeeded at last in getting him safely back in the baggage car, where it was found that his turkeyship weighed twenty-two pounds. The bird was fat, and in fine condition for Thanksgiving Day, and for that day was served up with oyster stuffing. "What are you digging there for?" "I am digging for money." The news flew; the idlers collected. "We are told that you are digging for money." "Well, I ain't digging for anything else." "Have you had any luck!" "First-rate luck; pays well; you had better take hold." All doffed their coats and laid hold most vigorously for awhile. After throwing out some cart loads, the question arose: "When did you get any money last?" "Saturday night." "Why, how much did you get?" "Four dollars and a half." "Why, that's rather small." "It's pretty well; six shillings a day is the regular price for digging cellar all over town." The spades dropped and the loafers vanished. Rumors of every kind should be washed in cold suds and not rinsed. TORTOISES AFRAID OF HEAT AND RAIN. Close observers of nature discover many curious habits in the lower orders of animals. Tortoises seem, by their thick shells, to be protected against all changes of the weather. But one of immense size, imported from the Galapagos Islands into England, was actually afraid of rain. Its owner says: "No part of its behavior ever struck me more than the extreme timidity it expresses with regard to rain; and though it has a shell that would secure it against a loaded cart, yet does it discover as much solitude about rain as a lady dressed in all her best attire, shuffling away on the first sprinklings and running its head up in a corner. If attended to, it becomes an excellent weather glass; for as sure as it walks clate, and as it were on tiptoe, feeding with great earnestness in the morning, so sure will it rain before night." The same tortoise was careful to keep out of the hot sun, and always sought a shady nook at mid-day in summer. It slept, also, under ground from the middle of November to the middle of April, and from four in the afternoon till a late hour in the morning. No man's spirits were ever hurt by doing his duty; on the contrary, one good action, one temptation resisted and overcome, one sacrifice of desire or interest purely for conscience's sake, will prove a cordial for weak and low spirits, far beyond what either indulgence or diversion, or company can do for them—Palay. SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. The long looked for and much needed Spring rains have commenced, and during the past week reports have reached us from nearly all portions of the State and coast, bringing news of showers of rain in sufficient quantities to insure full and abundant crops of every kind for the coming harvest. Which has advanced since our last review and is firm at our quotations. We also note an advance in the European market—the latest date of Liverpool quotations being 24@34 for average, and 97@910 for June. Tonsage is unwilling in our harbor, and feigns to Liverpool for first-class grain ships. Since March 1st, 22 grain ships have been loaded and dispatched with wheat to the United Kingdom—their united cargoes having a value of nearly $1,500,000. Grain is steadily moving outward 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. Flour is quite active with a large export demand; prices are unchanged since our last. Barley has rallied a little in demand, but not in price. Oats are depressed in value owing to free receipts from Oregon and a leased demand. Corn is dull. Buckwheat is quiet. Bye is in light demand at nominal prices. Potatoes arrive freely from Humboldt and other points, 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 hope is nearly exhausted and prices rule high. Wool is exceedingly dull, with no improvement to note in prices, which are down to the lowest point apparently. The Spring clip is coming forward freely with a prospect of a tolerable fair market, and, as far as reported, good prices are obtainable. WHEAT—Receipts are rather light for the week and transactions limited. Prices have advanced slightly for choice for export and for millers' use and are firm at the close. The range of prices may be stated as follows: Fair to choice, $1,600@1,67%; extra choice, $1,70. Sales for the week are reported as follows: 25,000 sks choice for export; 3,500 sks extra—all within the range of our quotations. FLOUR—There continues a good export trade. Owing to the rise in Wheat, millers have been compelled to advance their rates for Extra brands. The present price for rounds of Extra Superline is $4,50@$4,80; while for silk-dressed Golden Age, etc., the price is $45,25@196 bs.; Superline for export is obtainable at $4@$4,35, according to brand and quality. BARLEY—We note a better feeling in the market, owing to a renewed demand for export overland. Prices remain as last quoted, the range being $1,40@1,45 for feed; $1,55@1,60 for browning. OATS—Prices remain nearly stationary. Receipts are quite free.

Address Post Publishing Co., San Francisco. Home Mutual Insurance Company. In alluding to this justly popular Company, we cannot, with the small editorial space at our command, do better than quote the following complimentary, but at the same time, truthful remarks, which we extract from a former issue of the Spirit of the Times. That journal says, under date August 20th, 1874: "Men of thorough business capacity are successful, let the undertaking in which they may be engaged what it may. Close attention to the interest in hand, a clear understanding as to the wants and requirements of those dealing with them, and a determination to excel, are the qualifications of the capable business man, and the foundation of his success. In the science of underwriting, particularly these qualifications are absolutely necessary to insure patronage and build up a profitable business; and we know of no institution where they exist to a greater extent than in the Home Mutual Insurance Company of San Francisco. Mr. Redington, the former President of the Company, laid the foundation of the excellent management that has characterized it; and Gen. J. P. Hoghton, who succeeded him, has, by devotion to the Company, and by the possession of just such attributes as those we have mentioned above, succeeded in building up and strengthening a business for the Home Mutual second to no other insurance company in our midst; not a profitable return on paper, but in dollars and cents. Gen. Hoghton has, in the short time he has been at the head of the Company, done wonders in making solid, safe and reliable business for it, giving evidence of a quick comprehension of what is required of a thorough underwriter. On the first of the present month (August), the assets of the Company were $543,500; and without any demands upon them, between now and Monday next, their assets will be further increased to $560,237.07. This is a showing which any insurance company might be proud of, and it is certainly very creditable to Gen. Hoghton. Gen. Hoghton has been well sustained by the Secretary of the Company, Charles R. Story, who has held that important position more than four years; and in the general management of details of the business of the Company, he has enjoyed the able experience of the general manager, H. H. Bigelow, a veteran in underwriting." Before concluding this brief notice we would allude to the prosperous condition of the Oakland Branch, which, through the energy and sound business policy of R. H. Magill, Esq., the General Agent, has for some time past been doing an extensive business, conducted on a basis alike satisfactory to its customers and profitable to the shareholders. 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 sem-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 COTTON.—There is but little movement, and prices are merely nominal, say 13½% of 15c. Stock on hand held for higher figures. HIDES.—Dry are wanted; 10@20¢c cash is paid for usual selections; 8½% of 9c cib for wet-salted. TALLOW.—Stock on hand is still accumulating, and hard to work off the demand being quite light—prices are merely nominal. Reduced, of good quality, commands 6½% of 7c, while large quantities of fair grade will bring only 6½%. SEEDS.—There is an active demand for many varieties, the oil-mill taking all the clean Flax offered at our quotations. We quote: Alfalfa, 10@18c; Canary, scarce, 12½% of 15c; Flax, 3 @ 3½c; California Mustard dull, 1½% of 5c; Timothy, 7c Pb. CATTLE.—Our markets are well supplied with all the varieties of meats. The following are the wholesale rates: Beef, 4½c according to quality; Calves scarce at 6½% of 10c; Mutton, 4½% of 5c, plentiful; Hogs on foot, 7½%; Hogs, dressed, 9½%; the latter price for choice small ones. POULTRY.—The market demand is fair, receipts are light, prices moderate. We give the range as follows: Hens and Roosters, $7.50@8.50 doz; Broilers, $6@8.50 doz; Geese, tame, $2@2.50 doz; Poultry, doz; Hogs on foot, 7½%; Hogs, dressed, 9½%; the latter price for choice small ones. DAIRY PRODUCTS.—The supply of Fresh California Roll Butter is about equal to the daily consumption, all the surplus being packed by the dairymen as fast as made—present prices being within the range of 25¾c, the latter price being for the production of the best dairies in Marin county. There is some Eastern here, but not offered on the market. New California cheese is coming in freely and stock is accumulating, selling at 14½c. During Easter week eggs were plenty, but the demand was so great as to keep up the price to 27½c—since Easter prices are declining, the present rate being 25¾c per doz. GAME.—Hare are very plentiful, $1.00@1.50 doz; Rabbitts, $1.25@1.50 doz; Birds, $0.75c English Slupe, $2.00@2.50 per doz; Small doz, 75c@1.00 doz; Gray Geese, $2.00@2.50; Brant $2.50; White Geese, $1.50; Honkers, $5@8.00.

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, 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 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 the company. O.L.ABOTT, Santa Barbara; Parties desiring to visit the land should take steamer from San Francisco to Los Angeles (fare,$18); or take the Southern Pacific Railroad at San Francisco at 8:10 a.m.via Solcedad or the 4 p.m.train via Bakerfield，to Los Angeles.
