The Immigrant Question.
The following communication has been called out in answer to an editorial in the Eswing Letter "How Small Immigration be Guided." It consists, in the main, of an extract from the monthly circular of Charles Clayton & Co., and is worth perusal and attentive consideration:
One of those periodical excitements in regard to immigration to the Pacific Coast is now in existence throughout the Atlantic States, and every overland train is crowded, and the indications are that there will be no falling off, but an increase. The question arises, What shall we do with and for them? In order that we may be able to render some assistance in answering, we respectfully solicit correspondence from the intelligent and progressive men to whom our circular is sent, setting forth the inducements offered by their particular section. They will want to know whether land can be purchased in small quantities, and at about what price per acre. You understand, perhaps better than ourselves, what a new settler desires and expects, and without being interrogated, will know what other information it will be desirable to embrace in your correspondence. You are deeply interested in any and everything that may be the means of increasing the productions of your county, and to that end should render all the assistance in your power to the new-comer. The question is one that will not admit of delay—one of vital importance to the Coast, to the immigrant and yourself. We will give general publicity to any information you may be pleased to convey.
Our intention is, if we meet with encouragement and co-operation from landed proprietors and others interested, to classify all information forwarded to our office, and place it on file for the benefit and guidance of intended settlers.
We propose doing this work gratuitously, without charge to the buyer or seller, as we are both anxious and willing to do our part in maintaining the favorable impression existing in the States in regard to the Pacific Coast.

Buying a Horse.
Examine the eyes of the stable, then in the light; if they are in my degree defective, reject. Examine the teeth to determine the age. Examine the poll or crown of the head, and the width or tone of the shoulders, as the former is fine the seat of poll-evil, and the latter that of fistula. Examine the front feet; and if the frog has fallen or settled down between the heels of his shoes, and the heels are contracted, reject him; as he, if not already lame, is liable to become so at any minute. Next observe the knees and ankles of the horse you desire to purchase, and if cocked you may be sure that it is the result of the misplacement of the internal organs of the foot, a consequence of the neglect of the form of the foot and injudicious shoeing. Examine for interfering, from the ankle to the knees, and if proves that he cuts the knee or the leg between the knee ankle, or the latter badly, reject. "Speedy cute" of the knee and leg are most serious in their effects. Many trotting horses, which would be of great value were it not for this single defect, are by it rendered valueless. Carefully examine the hoofs for cracks, as jockeys have acquired great skill in concealing cracks in the hoofs. If cracks are observable in any degree, reject. Also both look and feel for ringbones, which are callosites on the pastern near the feet; if apparent, reject. Examine the feet for the same defects of the foot and ankle that we have named in connection with the front foot. Then proceed to the hock, which is the seat of curb and both bone and blood spavins. The former is a bony enlargement of the posterior and lower portion of the hock joint; the second, a bony exrescence of the lower, inner and rather anterior portion of the hock. They are either of them sufficient for rejecting. See that the horse stands with the front feet well under him, and observe both the heels of the feet and shoes to see if he "forges" or overreaches; and in case he does, and the toes of the front feet are low, the heels high and the heels of the front shoes of good thickness, and the toes of the hind feet are of no proper length, reject him; for if he still overreaches with his feet in the condition described, he is incurable. If he props out both front feet or points them alternately, reject. In testing driving qualities, take the reins while on the ground, in short apprehension.

The Seductive Wiles of the Auctioneer.
Mrs. M. H. Burnham writes to the St. Louis Republican an account of how her household goods were auctioned off when she "broke up" recently and went to boarding. "The auctioneer was an artist," she says, "and between legends and anecdotes the chattles were knocked down at splendid prices. I admired the ingenuity of the auctioneer, who made little heaps of my effects, christened 'em 'lots,' and paraded them over the floor so that one sort of fair article pulled through a number of worthless traps. Thus a good preserving kettle formed the basis of a 'lot of No. 10,' and had two broken castors, a soup-ladle with a hole in it, a section of an Old Dominion coffee-pot, a spice-box without a bottom, a pudding-steamer without a cover, the thrasher out of an ice-cream freezer, and two bald old blacking brushes stuck inside of it. That made it a 'lot.' There were about twenty of these lots, which looked rich and attractive, especially after the man went round with an armful of stair-rods and put a few in each lot to bristle up and call attention. The different styles of Toodles grouped over these little combinations and bid high for them, and they went off like rockets at two, three and four dollars a lot. I could have cried as I thought of the wealth I had thrown away in empty wine bottles, old hoop skirts and rusty pokers. You can buy a bran new clothes wringer for five dollars, but mine had lost its handle and went for $5.20. You can occupy a feather duster for a couple of dollars; the moths had gone into mine and it brought me two dollars and a half. A new fluting iron can be purchased for five dollars; the handle was gone out of mine, but Toodles got it cheap for five dollars and seventy-five cents. 'Here,' said the auctioneer, as the colored assistant elevated a clumsy old chair whose threadbare seat had been embroidered by the subscriber at the age of fifteen, 'here I offer you a rare and curious old chair, over one hundred years old, without doubt. At one time it was the property of Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In this chair sat numberless times the great George Washington. You observe the clip on the nigh side. I cannot tell a lie; he did it with his little hatchet.' That chair sold for twenty dollars, and forthwith my mind was made up. The road to fortune lies in making tapestry chair seats for George Washington to sit in."
A DEEP FARM—A worshipper in a church apologizing for the small size of his pew, claimed that it nevertheless reached "all the way up to heaven." Few owners of small real estate think to make more of it by measuring downwards, as a little rather anterior portion of the hook. They are either of them sufficient for rejecting. See that the horse stands with the front feet well under him, and observe both the heels of the feet and shoes to see if he "forges" or overreaches; and in case he does, and the toes of the front feet are low, the heels high and the heels of the front shoes of good thickness, and the toes of the hind feet are no proper length, reject him; for if he still overreaches with his feet in the condition described, he is incurable. If he props out both front feet or points them alternately, reject. In testing the driving qualities, take the reins while on the ground, invite the owner to get in the vehicle first, then drive yourself. Avoid the display or use of the whip; and if he has not sufficient spirit to exhibit his best speed without it, reject. Should he drive satisfactorily without, it will then be proper to test his amiability and the extent of his training in the use of the whip. Thoroughly test his walking qualities first, as that gait is more important in the horse of all work than great trotting speed. The value of a horse, safe for all purposes without blinds, is greatly enhanced thereby. Purchase of the breeder of the horse if practicable; the reasons are obvious.
LIVINGSTONE'S RESEARCHES.—It would be impossible to overstate the importance of Dr. Livingstone's researches and discoveries. By his own exertions, beset with perils and obstacles which would have driven back a man less courageous and determined, he has filled up a great space in the map of Africa; he was the first European whose eyes beheld vast inland seas whose existence had been vaguely conjectured from native reports; he laid down the course of hundreds of new rivers, and noted their volume and the velocity of their flow. Most important among the facts recorded in his journals is the discovery that Lake Nyassa belongs to a totally distinct system of waters from that which holds Lake Tanganyika and the rivers running north and west. With regard to the latter lake he leaves an interesting problem to be solved by future explorers. It may be taken for granted that he would hardly venture the surmise that Tanganyika duly weighed the probabilities in the scale with his elaborate observations, but whether this lake pours its waters through the caverns of Western Kabogo into the vast rivers flowing northward is a problem which must soon be determined by actual exploration.
Besides geographical information of importance, these journals contain innumerable notes on the habits of animals, birds and fishes; descriptions of native life and habits and sketches of personal adventure told with the natural modesty of a great man whose thoughts were more on his work than on himself.
TALLOW DIPS.—Seventy years ago, when gas and kerosene were not, and wax candles were an extravagance indulged in only on state occasions, even by the wealthy, the tallow dip was an article of necessity, and "candle dip-day" was as certain of recurrence as Christmas, though perhaps even less welcome than the equally certain annual Feast Day. Fancy an immense kitchen with the before-mentioned fireplace in the centre of one side. Over the blaze of blacklog rather anterior portion of the hook. They are either of them sufficient for rejecting. See that the horse stands with the front feet well under him, and observe both the heels of the feet and shoes to see if he "forges" or overreaches; and in case he does, and the toes of the front feet are low, the heels high and the heels of the front shoes of good thickness, and the toes of the hind feet are no proper length, reject him; for if he still overreaches with his feet in the condition described, he is incurable. If he props out both front feet or points them alternately, reject. In testing the driving qualities, take the reins while on the ground, invite the owner to get in the vehicle first, then drive yourself.

A DEEP FARM.—A worshipper in a church apologizing for the small size of his pew, claimed that it nevertheless reached "all the way up to heaven." Few owners of small real estate think to make more of it by measuring downwards, as a little boy in the Rochester Industrial school suggested. The School Report says:
One of our managers on a visit to the institution some time since, was much interested in listening to a talk among a group of our boys. It seems that by some accident one of them had become the owner of fifteen cents. This was a matter of great interest to the whole group, and various were the suggestions of the youngsters as to what he had better do with so large a sum of money.
One thought it would be well to put it in the bank. Another had heard that sometimes poor people lost their money by putting it in banks, and so another boy counselled him to buy a piece of land with it.
"O, pahaw," said the lucky owner. "How much land would fifteen cents buy?"
"Why!" replied the other, indicating by his fingers a measurement of about three inches. "It might buy a piece about so big, and then and if 'he's small at the top,' would be deep, for you would have it all the way through to China, and that would make a pretty big chunk."
This boy may grow up to astonish the world yet—if he stays long enough at the industrial school.
A retribution was presented to the Massachusetts Legislature last week asking that the sentence of banishment against Roger Williams, passed in 1635, be revoked. As he has been dead about two hundred years it is not likely that he takes a very personal interest in the success of the appeal.
Din George W. Childs write "Rock Me to Sleep," and if so, why his nobody reaked him!—Rachel Dennis.
"No sir," said a weary looking man on a street car, to an individual by his side, "I wouldn't marry the best woman alive. I've been a dry goods clerk too long for that."
TALLOW DIPS.—Seventy years ago, when gas and kerosene were not, and wax candles were an extravagance indulged in only on state occasions, even by the wealthy, the tallow dip was an article of necessity, and "candle dip-day" was as certain of recurrence as Christmas, though perhaps even less welcome than the equally certain annual Feast Day. Fancy an immense kitchen with the before-mentioned fireplace in the centre of one side. Over the blaze of blacklog and forestick, and something like half a cord of "eight-foot wood," are swinging the iron cranes laden with great kettles of melting tallow. On the opposite side of the kitchen two long poles about two feet apart are supported at their extremities upon the seats of chairs. Beside the poles are other great kettles containing melted tallow poured on the top of hot water. Across the poles are the slender candle-rods, from which depend ranks upon ranks of candle-wicks made of tow, for cotton wick is a later invention. Little by little, by endless repeating the slow process of dipping into the kettles of melted tallow and hanging them to cool, the wicks take in their proper coating of tallow. To make the candles as large as possible was the aim, for the more tallow, the brighter the light. When done, the ranks of candles, still depending from the rods, were hung in the sunniest spots of a sunny garret to bleach.
LIPPINCOT'S
AMPUTATION EXTRAORDINARY.—Anson Franier of Horicon, Warren county, N.Y., froze his feet recently, and as he was in indigent circumstances the town poor master was called upon for aid. He employed a certain aged doctor, living in Horicon, to amputate two of the sufferer's toes. It was done with a mallet and chisel! The chisel was placed on one toe and struck with the mallet five times and hastily with an axe it encumbed. The other toe passed through a like ordeal, the victim groaning and kicking at every blow of the mallet.
An elderly clergyman who is a bachelor, and rather good-looking, on being asked why he had never married, replied that he had been looking all his life for a woman who would refrain from working him a pair of slippers, and had not yet been able to find her.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
Business between vetchood in all departments for the week since review, though without special activity lately except that of wheat, in which there have been large increases. Price of grain now gradually advanced as the supply being reduced and the product shortages become apparent. Reports from the different sections of the State are conflicting to unilate damage to growing crops from serious causes, and many of them we believe to be exaggerated; at present we see no reason to charge the vetch. We have heretofore expressed, viz., that the crops of all descriptions will be fully up to the average of the two past seasons in quantity and quality. The title of immigration continues strong from all the Western States, the daily increase to our population being estimated at 600 pennants per day. Receipts of wheat from the Interior are diminishing daily, causing thereby a material advance in the price within the week. The demand both for milling and for export continues good. Tonnage is abundant. First-class grain-carrying ships can be chartered to Liverpool direct at 2376d, which is an advance over rates last week. Floor is in fair demand for local use, but the demand for export has fallen off and is now quite light; rates for the finer grades have been advanced, while superintendent and country brands continue low as herefores quoted. Oregon is sending down large quantities by steamer and sail vessels. Barley and oats are in active demand at advanced prices. Corn is in fair demand at our quotations. Buckwheat is firm at the late advance, with light stock in market. Rye is without change with but little inquiry. Potatoes have eased off-in price for both old and new crop, the new coming in quite freely, and the old fast working off. There is a large margin on onions—inferior are plenty and cheap; choice have appreciated in value and bring a good round price—Oregon sending us large quantities by every steamer from the Columbia River. The stock of hops is nearly exhausted, prices are lower. In Fall wool there is no improvement as regards price, the stock being quite large and nearly all of inferior quality. The Spring clip continues to come forward quite freely and finds a ready market at satisfactory prices, the general quality being superior, fine and long staple, for which there is a good Eastern demand. Dairy products are in free receipt, fully up to daily requirements, without over-stocking the market or reducing prices below fair paying rates.
WHEAT. The market is in a manner demeralized. There is a fair demand, but holders are unwilling sellers, eye at the advance, which has been liberal, especially for choice milling and for export. Transactions have not been large, as buyers are, many of them, limited as to prices to fill foreign orders. Freights have also improved, the latest chartering being at the rate of £27s 6d, with upwards of 40,000 tons of disengaged tonnage in port. The present range of prices may fairly be given as follows: Choice Milling, $175@180; Ordinary do,$170@175; Choice Shipping qualities,$1.65@170; Inferior,$1.45@155. Latest Liverpool quotations are: For average per ctl,$9@3d; for Club, 9s 4d@9s 9d.

Machinery for the Swedish movement and vacuum cure; Galvanic and Electrical apparatus, and for giving the Electro Thermal, Turkish, 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.

Honey. There is no change to report. Present receipts are small. Owing to a large export trade at low prices early in the season, stocks are much reduced and prices remain steady and firm at 18%22 for White Comb; dark do. 10%15c; Strained remains steady at 6%10c, according to quality.
Potatoes. The stock of old is much lighter than is usual at this season of the year, and the bulk of it is controlled by a few large houses. Receipts are fair, the demand is brisk. Prices of old have ceased off slightly within the week, and are now quoted at $2.00$2.55 100 Da, at which price they are firmly held, the market being supplied from Humboldt, Tomales and Petaluma. New crop coming in freely from Half-Moon Bay, and sell readily at 3%3e.
Onions. There are a great many inferior quality in the market, and for such prices rule low. Strictly choice Silverskins are scarce and in active demand at a sharp advance, and now command $3.50$4.00 100 Da.
Wool. The stock of Fall Wool remaining on hand is unusually large for the season, and although prices are exceedingly low the quality is so inferior as to make it almost unsaleable
Dairy products are in free receipt, fully up to daily require-ments, without over-stocking the market or reducing prices below fair paying rates.
WHEAT.-The market is in a manner demoralized. There is a fair demand, but holders are unwilling sellers, eve. at the advance, which has been liberal, especially for choice milling and for export. Transactions have not been large, as buyers are, many of them, limited as to prices to till foreign orders. Freighters have also improved, the latest chartering being at the rate of $27 76 d, with upwards of 40,000 tons of disengaged tonnage in port. The present range of prices may fairly be given as follows: Choice Milling, $175@180; Ordinary do,$170@175; Choice Shipping qualities, $165@170; Inferior, $145@155. Latest Liverpool quotations are: For average, per ctl, @93d; for Club, 954d@93d. FLOUR.-There is a light demand for stand- extras and superline for export, with a firm but quiet market at our quotations. Millers are slow to purchase at the advance on wheat, and a portion of the mills are now reduced to ordinary running time. Oregon is sending us large quantities by every vessel from the Columbia River. We quote the range for the various grades as follows: Standard country brands, $400@440; extra superior, $450@500; silk dressed, City Mills, jobbing at $25@55 50 per bbl of 196 Da.
BARLEY.-The market is stronger, with an upward tendency. The supply is fair. Prices are firm. Our quotations are for round lots, at which sales have been made as follows: Bright Bay brewing, $155@102%; ordinary coast and feed, $150@155; extra choice brewing would probably command $160@170 per ctl.
OATS.-There continues a good demand, with a further advance in prices. The demand is supplied largely from Oregon—but it is thought shipments from that quarter must soon cease. Fair to choice feed sell at from $165@215 ctl.
RYE.-Is in limited demand; receipts are light. There is but little change to note in price, the present range being $115@20 per 100 Da.
CORN.-Receipts have been moderate, with little more inquiry. Small transactions are reported at $145@150 for prime Yellow. White being very scarce is held higher.
BRAN AND MIDDLINGS.-The mill prices have been advanced to $18 00@19 00 for bran, and $27 50 ton for middlings. The demand is good.
HAY.-Is in light supply, with an improved demand and a tendency to higher prices. The cargo price on the wharf ranges from $8 00 to $17 00 ton, according to quality, there being an unusually wide range in prices for the reason that strictly choice Wheat is scarce.
STRAW.-Is quoted at 90%75 per bale.
BEANS.-White are scarce, and all choice lots are in good demand at fair prices; colored are neglected. We quote the range of wholesale prices for round lots as follows: Beryos, 23%23c; Pink, 14%14c; Red, 13%13c; White Pea, 33%c; White Butter at 34%4c.
HOPES.-No movement to speak of. Stocks are very light, and prices are easing off; 30%32c may now be quoted as the range.
HONEY. There is no change to report. Present receipts are small. Owing to a large export trade at low prices early in the season, stocks are much reduced and prices remain steady and firm at 18%22 for White Comb; dark do. 10%15c; Strained remains steady at 6%10c, according to quality.

WOODEN PUMPS AND PIPE
FARMERS and Miners in want of a durable, simple and cheap P.M.P. should examine these manufactures. They are one-bolt shingle, work under, keep in order longer, and use newer parts. They may be used for a cold climate, as by leaving the waste hole open they serve from us, the working part of the pump being below the floor.
One P.M.P. alone may be used in manufacture and where the pressure is not great, will last longer, and it will not fill up like iron. The inside of a small pipe is desired, thus requiring the assistance of wrenches.
