WIT AND HUMOR. "SHOW," said a Dutchman, "you may say that please put your neighbors. I have had to wait neighbor as never was. Minas pigs and fine hens own home mit des ears polite; and today day two of dem corn' home missing." A Irish house maid, who was sent to call a gentleman to dinner, found him engaged in using a tooth brush. "Well, is he coming?" asked the lady. "Yes, ma'am, directly; he is just sharpening his teeth." During a trial the judge called a witness—No one answered, and an elderly man prose and solemnly said: "He is gone." Where has he gone!" asked the judge, in no tender tone. "I don't know, but he is dead," was the guarded answer. SEASONABLE: Rector—"Ah, we shall be comfortable this morning, Gruffles; I see you have the temperature up nicely. Sixty; I declare!" Clerk—"Yes, sir; I allus he trouble to get that thing up, I took and warmed it jest this minute."—Punch. "Please, sir," said a boy, with two bottles, to a grocer, "mother wants a cent's worth of your best yeast." "Well, which bottle will you have it in?" "Please, sir, she wants it in both; and won't you put corks in 'em, and send 'em home, as I am going to other way; and mother says she hain't got no cent, but you must charge it." "Is Miss Blinking at home?" asked Mr. Sanders of the Irish girl who answered the ring at the door. "Yes, I b'lave she is, sir." "Is she engaged?" "An' is it engaged you say? Faith, an' I can't tell ye, sir; but she kissed Mr. Vincent last evening as if she had not seen the like nu him, an' it's engaged I b'lave they are, sir." A clerical gentleman, remarkable for preaching many Sabbaths from one text, irradially run through the year from these words: "Peter's wife's mother lay sick of a fever." The church bell tollled early one morning, when the minister dispatched a servant to inquire who was dead. The sexton pretended ignorance, but returned for an answer, "that he believed it was Peter's wife's mother, as she had been sick for a long time." Yankees are universally allowed to be A Lover's Esme. Some years since, two wealthy bachelors lived in the vicinity of Paris. They had a young maid-of-all-work named Marie de La Font. Marie was a sweet pretty girl, lively and piquant in her manners, although modest in the extreme, and this was the reason that the two brothers most her in their employ. They knew that she was frugal, economical, and dressed in the most moderate manner imaginable. One day Marie surprised her employers by informing them that a young artisan residing in Paris had asked her hand. They strove to dissuade her from accepting the offer of marriage, but she told them that she could not be happy unless she became the wife of her dear Henry. So it was arranged that the should quit the service of the two brothers at the end of the coming month. One day during this interval the brothers sold some valuable real estate, which they owned jointly, and the sum realized amounted to 108,000 francs. It was all in bills on the bank of France, and was paid too late for deposit the same afternoon. Night came, and as the old bachelors seldom had such a large amount in the house, they were considerably concerned least robbers should attempt to rob them. Their fears were strengthened by the numerous burglaries that had recently taken place in that vicinity. The residence of the old men was some distance from the main road, and stood near the river Seine. It was a lonely, gloomy location, and on the night in question the wind swept through the tall arches surrounding the mansion with doleful and moaning cadence. About midnight the old men retired; but scarcely had they fallen asleep when Marie rapped at their door and informed them that robbers were at work below. Both the bachelors were terribly frightened, and when one commenced to bar the door the other began to remove a tile from the hearth to hide the bills. "You have a gun," said Marie; "take it and shoot the villains." But the two trembling men paid no need to her advice. "Cowards!" said the brave girl scornfully. "I wish that I were a man for five minutes." Just then there came a heavy crash from the apartments below.

A clerical gentleman, remarkable for preaching many Sabbaths from one text, had nearly run through the year from these words: "Peter's wife's mother lay sick of a fever." The church bell tollled early one morning, when the minister dispatched a servant to inquire who was dead. The sexton pretended ignorance, but returned for an answer, "that he believed it was Peter's wife's mother, as she had been sick for a long time." Yankees are universally allowed to be unexcelled in asking questions, but unite Irish loquacity with Yankee interrogation and the cup is full. A girl of Irish descent, but reared in Vermont, was rebuked by the lady with whom she was living for her interminable propensity to ask questions. Closing the rebuke the lady remarked, "You beat the Jews at asking questions." When, true to her nature, the girl rejoined, "Do the Jews ask many questions?" APROPOS of the Tyndall-Darwin theories comes in one of General Schenck's stories that he told to the wife of a British Cabinet officer, who assured him that "England made America all that she is." "Pardon, Madam," said the General, "you remind me of an answer of an Ohio lad in his teens, who attending Sunday school for the first time, was asked by the teacher; 'Who made you?' 'Made me?' 'Yes,' 'Why, God made me about so long (holding his hands ten inches apart), but I growed the rest.'" How he Did It.—There is enough for a volume or a sermon in the following little incident; and we earnestly commend it to all afflicted with a bad temper: A merchant in London had a dispute with a Quaker respecting the settlement of an account. The merchant was determined to bring the question into court, a proceeding to which the Quaker objected. Desiring to make a last effort, the Quaker called at his office one morning, and inquired of the servant if his master was at home. The merchant, hearing the inquiry, and knowing the voice, called aloud from the top of the stairs, "Tell that rascal that I am not at home!" The Quaker, looking up towards him, calmly said,—"Well, friend, God put thee in a better mind." The merchant was struck with the meekness of this reply, and having more deliberately investigated the matter, became convinced that the Quaker was right, and he in the wrong. He requested to see him, and after acknowledging his error, he said, "I have one question to ask you,—how are you able, with such patience, on various occasions, to bear my abuse?" "Friend," replied the Quaker, "I will tell thee; I was naturally as hot and violent as thou art. I knew that to indulge this temper was sinful, and I found that it was imprudent. I observed that men in a passion often speak loud; and I thought that if I could control my voice I should repress my passion. I have, therefore, made it a rule never to suffer my voice to rise above a certain key; and by a careful observation of this rule, I have entirely mastered my natural temper." Forgot His Wife. But scarcely had they fallen asleep when Marie rapped at their door and informed them that robbers were at work below. Both the bachelors were terribly frightened, and when one commenced to bar the door the other began to remove a tile from the hearth to hide the bills. "You have a gun," said Marie; "take it and shoot the villains." But the two trembling men paid no need to her advice. "Cowards!" said the brave girl scornfully. "I wish that I were a man for five minutes." Just then there came a heavy crash from the apartments below. The brothers crept beneath the bed, where they shivered and cringed unable to speak from terror. "We shall all be murdered in our beds," said the girl. "We will be found by the police in the morning with our throats cut from ear to ear. Peste! fools, give me the gun." She seized the double barreled gun that lay on the shelf, and started down stairs, while the frightened men watched her without saying a word. Presently gang went the gun and a groan was heard. Bang! went the second barrel, and a screech of pain resounded through the house that caused the blood of the brothers to run cold. A brief pause ensued, and then Marie came tripping up stairs, but her face wore a determined, dissatisfied look. She asked for more powder and ball to reload, which were furnished; but before she finished loading, footsteps were heard retreating from the house. No one slept in the house that night, nor were they again molested. But at early dawn, on going down stairs, a pool of blood on the hall door showed that one robber, at least, had been seriously, if not mortally, wounded; and it was plain to see by the bloody path in the earth that the victim had been dragged to the river. Gore marked the whole distance, and the police were on the alert for the arrest of the living thieves and the recovery of the body of the dead one. But all efforts proved vain, and the bravery of the young girl was discussed far and near. The grateful bachelors were so overwhelmed that they offered to give Marie a dower. "Ah! messieurs," replied she, affectionately, "how can I leave you? You may again be attacked by robbers." "But we will not, nevertheless, stand between you and happiness," they replied. "Here are thirty thousand francs—you have saved our lives, and richly deserve the money. If you choose to live in this house with your husband, we will repair the lower part for that purpose, and you can also be hired to keep our room neat as at present." Henri married Marie, and they accepted the dower and the house. Years passed, and recently the facts of this midnight robbery came to light. Both the old bachelors were dead, and had willed Marie another thirty thousand francs. The brave girl did not refuse it. It turned out, however, that the robbers were not plural. Henri acted as the burglar, the blood was from a lamb killed for the purpose, and the whole was but a ruse of the two lovers to open the hearts and pursues of the two old misers. Forget His Wife. "I have one question to ask you—now are you able, with such patience, on various occasions, to bear my abuse?" "Friend," replied the Quaker, "I will tell thee; I was naturally as hot and violent as thou art. I knew that to indulge this temper was sinful, and I found that it was imprudent. I observed that men in a passion often speak loud; and I thought that if I could control my voice I should repress my passion.

Silent Men. — Washington never made a speech. In the zenith of his fame he once attempted it, failed, and gave it up confused and abashed. In framing the Constitution of the United States, the labor was almost wholly performed in the Committee of the Whole, of which George Washington was the chairman; but he made two speeches during the convention of a very few words each. The convention, however, acknowledge the master spirit, and historians affirm that, had it not been for his personal popularity and the thirty words of his first speech, pronouncing it the best that could be united upon, the Constitution would have been rejected by the people. Thomas Jefferson never made a speech. He couldn't do it. Napoleon, whose executive ability is almost without a parallel, said that his greatest difficulty was in finding men of deeds rather than words. When asked how he maintained his influence over his superiors in age and experience when Commander-in-Chief of an army in Italy, he said, by reserve. The greatness of man is not measured by the length of his speeches and their number. Some young men living near Muscalungo creek, a small stream flowing into Black River bay near Dexter, New York, went to the creek, one day, and cut holes in the life for the purpose of fishing with hooks and limes. The instant the holes were cut they became literally filled with bullheads, and the man began scooping them out by dozens. At noon there were about one hundred and fifty persons on the ice. It is estimated that about four tons of fish have already been taken. Two men in three hours took 1000 pounds of fish from two holes twelve inches in diameter. There seems to be an inexhaustible school of them. Tant Tennin played a brilliant match in Pittsburgh this earlier day. His case was suppressed from a shrubby and bloody box. Forgot His Wife. The story of the absent-minded man, who, meeting his own son on the street, shook hands with him and asked him how his father was, has been equalled by the forgetfulness of a Wisconsin farmer. The man drove to town to transact some business, and was accompanied by his wife. Leaving her at a dry goods store, he proceeded to carry out his intentions. Having finished his business, he forgot all about the little circumstance of bringing his wife with him, and started home alone. Arriving there, he put up his horses and processed to do his chores. In the meantime his wife had learned that her husband had left town without her. Hiring a conveyance, she was driven home. She didn't wait to take off her things, but made her way to the back yard. The husband had just seated himself on the milking-stool, and had just opened a conversation with the cow on the subject of listing, remarking frequently that it was so boss." He was just sitting down to business when he heard a rushing sound of something on the other side of the cow. It was his wife coming to see him. The cow, having conscientious scrruples about standing between man and wife, left very suddenly, and in her hurry, kicked the poor man in the immediate vicinity of the vast pocket. The unhappy victim of circumstances scrambled up on all fours, when his wife earnestly asked him if he would ever forget her again. He rather thought he would not. A little fellow who is a regular attendant at one of our Sabbath schools, recently lost by death his older brother. His teacher was expressing her sympathy for the lad in his loss, and spoke in praise of the departed boy as a smart youth. "Yes'm," said the little scholar, "He sees the smartest boy I ever know. He could stand on his head longer than any chap in our neighborhood." Henri married Marie, and they accepted the dower and the house.

The winter was all that could be desired by the husbandman, and the farming so far has continued prosperous; we know indeed no portion of the country whose present condition more assured than this, our own state and Coast. The coming harvest season presents a greater abundance of grain, fruit and vegetables than any son in the history of the State, all the attendant industries appear to be like prosperous and promising condition. Wheat is coming forward slowly. There is a fair demand for export with almost advance in the European market; prices here are fine at our last quotations. Barley is steady, with free receipts from Oregon—market rather quiet. Barley is dull and market inactive at unchanged rates.

Potatoes have advanced on account of light stock and a speculative demand. Onions are plenty and a speculative demand. Onions are plenty and a speculative demand. In Fall wool there is no improvement as regards price, the stock being quite large and nearly all of inferior quality.

A preparation containing no poisonous ingredient whatever, but manufactured by a process known only to the proprietors, from mountain laurel, commands a steadily increasing trade. Almost every horseman upon the coast can attest to the excellency of the PARMER'S XXX HORSE MEDICINE, The "King of Liniments." This well-known remedy does not cure all diseases of the horse, but Messrs. Williams & Co., confidently recommend it for all complaints that are curable by any combination of medical appliance. In the same department we find HORSEMAN'S COLLAR GALL AND ROOF OINTMENT, An article that no livery or horseman can dispense with. MURRY'S MAGIC OIL Forms no inconsiderable part of this stock in trade, and the demand for which as a family remedy is steadily increasing.

We respectfully call the attention of our readers to Messrs. Williams & Co.'s advertisement in another column. The Risdon Iron and Locomotive Works. This well known firm is, as stated previously, in our columns, an incorporated company (composed of some twelve shareholders), of which Wm H. Taylor, Esq., is President, and Joseph Moore, Esq., is Superintendent. There are perhaps few branches of manufacture in endeavoring to describe which it is so essential to have some practical acquaintance with the details as in the case of Foundries, Locomotive and Machine Works, and we must therefore ask the indulgence both of the Risdon Company and the public generally, for our brief and very imperfect sketch of this extensive undertaking. The Business Offices, Foundry, Machine Worker are situated at the corner of Beale and Howard streets, San Francisco. The premises occupied by the buildings and yards measure 275 feet frontage by a depth of 212'feet, embracing no less than ten water-lots. However they can independently of any other claim on the business public, well afford to stand by their record, including their business reputation and the class of work which they turn out. On leaving the Superintendent's office we were shown into the Machine or Finishing Department. Here were a number of Car-wheels (for use of railroads) in course of completion. These are made a specialty with the Risdon Company, which is only establishment in the city that manufactures them. We also observed Marino Engines, and work connected with ship-building. The corporation to which this notice has reference has been engaged since our previous issue in building heavy boilers of % inch iron plate, for compound engines, the largest that have ever been built in the United States; this firm having just completed two Compound Engines of 400 horse-power. Included in the work done, we may allude to a large amount of sheet iron pipe for hydraulic purposes. These orders are being filled on telegrams from England and New York for South America and California mining operations. To those engaged in gravel mining we would say that these works are now engaged on an order for the noted Cox's Pans. Utah Salt Lake, is also numbered among their present customers for car-wheels, and the Narrow-Gauge Railroad has already entered into contracts for a large number of wheels. Before closing this short and imperfect sketch of the business operations, capacity and energy of the corporation to which our present reference alludes we would in justice to manufacturing interests generally draw attention to the heavy pumping machinery constructed for mining generally. It may possibly give some additional idea of the magnitude and importance of this undertaking; if we state that the "Risdon Iron Works" employ an average of 300 men, disbursing about $20,000 per month for wages. They are now engaged making Hoisting and Pumping Machinery for the Ophir Mine, Nevada which will enable them to work to a depth of 4,000 feet. The greatest depth to which they work machinery in any part of the world, at the present time is 3,500 feet. National Surgical Institute.

Address Post Publishing Co., San Francisco. 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 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 larger 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 wheel 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 Languedic 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 harbor. 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 uncleancer; 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 day of sale,and ten per cent,semi-annually,theft,tenernert,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\ntenant,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent,\tnent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncent.\ncents.\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncents;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\ncens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcens.;\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.:\\ mcenc.: \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn:. \\ Mcenn: \nl EVERY FAMILY WANTS IT.

WANTED 17 NEW Montgomery St National Surgical Institute. The Pacific Branch Permanently Established in San Francisco. Since the first visit of Dr. H. R. Allen (the founder of the National Surgical Institute) to this coast, nearly two years ago, it has been the intention of the Institute to establish a Branch in San Francisco. The subsequent visits of other Surgeons of the Institute, and the unparalleled success which attended them, has served only to strengthen the project. After the expenditure of much time, labor and money in preparing instruments, machinery, etc., the Pacific Branch is at last permanently established, and will be open for the reception of patients by the middle of this month. For the present, and until further notice, the business will be continued at their old building, No. 319 Bush street, between Kearny and Montgomery. The machinery for the Swedish movement and vacuum cure; Galvanic and Electrical apparatus, and for giving the Electro Thermal, Vapor and other baths, has all been received from the East; (where it was manufactured in the Institute machine shops), and is rapidly being placed in position. Dr. J. M. Hinkle, one of the oldest and most successful surgeons of the Institute, associated with Dr. Thos. Mayon and a corps of skilled assistants, are already in San Francisco, and will remain there permanently in charge of the Branch Institute; consequently no further questions need be asked or fears apprehended concerning the permanency and proficiency of the Pacific Branch. Dr. Allen will visit the Institute in San Francisco on the 20th of this month, and remain until the 15th of May following, during which time he will be pleased to see all the old patients now under treatment, and as many new ones as possible. The Institute is especially prepared to treat all Deformities and Surgical cases, Chronic Diseases, etc. Address National Surgical Institute, 319 Bush street, San Francisco, for circular and particulars.
