Queer Marriages. Among the many remarkable marriages on record, none are more curious than those in which the bridegroom has proved to be of the same sex as the bride. Last century there lived a woman who dressed in male attire, and was constantly going captivating her sisters, and marrying them! On the 5th of July, 1777, she was tried at a criminal court in London for thus disguising herself, and it was proved that at various times she had been married to three women, and "defrauded them of their money and clothes." The fair deceiver was required by the justices to give the daughters of the citizens an opportunity of making themselves acquainted with her features by standing in the pillory at Cheapside; and after going through the ordeal, she was imprisoned for six months. In 1773, a woman went courting a woman, dressed as a man, and was very favorably received. The lady to whom these not very delicate attentions were paid was much older than the lover, but she was possessed of about a hundred pounds, and this was the attraction to her generous friend. But the intended treachery was discovered; and, as the original chronicler of the story says, "the old lady proved too knowing." A more extraordinary case than either of these was that of two women who lived together by mutual consent as man and wife for thirty-six years. They kept a public house at Poplar, and the "wife," when on her deathbed, for the first time told her relatives the fact concerning her marriage. The writer in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1776, who records the circumstance, states that "both had been crossed in love when young, and had chosen this method to avoid further importunities." It seems, however, that the truth was suspected for the "husband" subsequently charged a man with extorting money from her under the threat of disclosing the secret, and for the offence he was sentenced to stand three times in the pillory, and to undergo four years' imprisonment. It is usually considered a noteworthy circumstance for a man or woman to have been married three times, but of old this number would have been thought little of. St. Jerome mentions a widow that had married her twenty-second husband; who in his turn had been married to twenty-swives—surely an experienced couple! A woman named Elizabeth Masi, who died at Florence, in 1768, had Catching a Shark. We are being flooded with bad novels this year. A glance at the catalogue of the publishers apprises us that, if we except Charles Beade, we have not a great fiction-writer left. Philosophers, statisticians, essayists who put their theories and facts into the shape of a novel, we have in abundance, but a man capable of telling a story, of appealing to the imagination, of piling incident upon incident to a given end, we have none except Reade who writes with a purpose. His episodes are all perfect stories in themselves. The following narrative of the killing of a shark by electricity will illustrate our meaning. It has little to do with the story of the "simpleton," but how admirably it makes one feel the sea and the voyages, throws out the resources of a man of science, and yet absorbingly amuses and interests. A man in the mizzen top noticed an enormous shark gliding steadily in the ship's wake. This may seem a small incident, yet it ran through the ship like wildfire, and caused more or less uneasiness in three hundred stout hearts; so near is every seaman to death, and so strong the persuasion in their superstitious minds that a shark does not follow a ship pertinaciously without a prophetic instinct of calamity. Unfortunately, the quartermaster conveyed this idea to Lord Tadcaster, and confirmed it by numerous examples, to prove that there was always death at hand when a shark followed a ship. Thereupon Tadcaster took it into his head that he was under a relapse, and the shark was waiting for his dead body. He got quite low spirited. Staines told Fitzroy. Fitzroy said, "Shark be hanged!" I'll have him on deck in half an hour." He got leave from the captain. A hook was baited with a large piece of pork, towed astern by a stout line, experienced old hands attending it by turns. The shark came up leisurely, surveyed the bait, and I apprehend, ascertained the position of the hook. At all events, he turned quietly on his back, sucked the meat off, and retired to enjoy it. Every officer in the ship tried him in turn, but without success; for if they got ready for him, and the moment he took the bait, jerked the rope hard, in that case he opened his enormous mouth so wide that the bait and hook came out clear. But sooner or later he always got SAN FRANK We have no space general market size has been very more so than usual. During the holiday business hours lying quite an inter trade.

A woman named Elizabeth Mash, who died at Florence, in 1768, had been married to seven husbands, all of whom she outlived. She married the last of the seven at the age of seventy. When on her death bed she recalled the good and bad points in each of her husbands, and having impartially weighed them in the balance, she singled out her fifth spouse as her favorite, and desired that her remains might be interred near his. The death of a soldier is recorded, 1774, who had five wives, and his widow, aged ninety, wept over the grave of her fourth husband. The writer who mentioned these facts merely added: "The said soldier was much attached to the married state." There is an account of a gentleman who had been married to four wives, and who lived to be one hundred and fifteen years old. When he died he left twenty-three children alive and well, some of the said children being from three to four score. A gentleman died at Bordeaux, in 1772, who had been married sixteen times. In July, 1768, a couple were living in Essex, who had been married eighty-one years, the husband being one hundred and seventeen and the wife one hundred and three years of age. At the church of St. Clement Danes, in 1772, a woman of eighty-five was married to her sixth husband. Instances are by no means rare of affectionate attachment existing between man and wife over a period that is longer than is ordinarily allotted to human life. In the middle of the last century a farmer of Nottingham died in his one hundred and seventh year. Three days after his wife died also, aged ninety-seven. They had lived happily together upwards of eighty years. About the same time a yeoman of Coal-pit Heath, Gloucester-shire, died in his one hundred and fourth year. The day after his funeral his wife expired at the age of one hundred and fifteen. They had been married eighty-one years. Dr. Kayes on the English Polar Expedition. Dr. I. L.

If slightly hollow in the back, so much the better, for it generally tends to ease in action, and to lessen motion in the saddle. A lady should never be hard upon the saddle—that is, there should be no bumping noise, not even in a trot. She should sit so closely, and when rising to the trot, possess such elastic motion from the foot to the knee and the waist that her return to the saddle should seem as light as a feather. She should sit "square to the front," and her horse's ear (to speak as a soldier) ought to dress well with the buttons on the bosom of her habit. Nothing is so bad as to sit with a lean to one side, and, when admirers are following after, to let them fear that a very little would cast her off from the stirrup side of her saddle. Her hands should be down, but light, and her arm, as well as every indication of her figure, should harmonize with the motions of her steed, as if both possessed the same volition.—Grantly Review. We are as liable to be corrected by books as by companions. WOMEN do not disprove their rivals. They hate them. "The only thing I fear, said Staines, is that the moment he takes the bait he will cut the wire before I can complete the circuit and fire the fuse." Nevertheless, there was another objection to the success of the experiment. The shark had disappeared. "Well," said the captain, "at all events you have frightened him away." "No," said little Tadcaster, white as a ghost: "he is only under water, I know; waiting—waiting" "There he is!" cried one in the ratlins. There was a rush to the taffrail—great excitement. "Keep clear of me," said Staines, quietly but firmly. "It can only be done at the moment before he cuts the wire." The old shark swam slowly around the bait. He saw it was something new. He swam round and round it. He won't take it," said one. He suspects something. Oh, yes, he will take the meat somehow, and leave the pepper. The old fox." He has eaten many a poor Jack, that one. The shark turned slowly on his back, and instead of grabbing at the bait, seemed to draw it by gentle suction into that capacious throat, ready to blow it out in a moment if it was not all right. The moment the bait was drawn out of sight, Staines completed the circuit; the bottle exploded with a fury that surprised him and everybody who saw it; a ton of water flew into the air, and came down in spray, and a gory carcass floated, belly uppermost, visibly staining the blue water. There was a roar of amazement and applause. The carcass was towed alongside, at Tadmaster's urgent request, and then the power of the explosion was seen. Confined first by the bottle, then by the meat, then by the fish, and lastly by the water, it had exploded with tenfold power, had blown the brute's head into a million atoms, and had even torn a great furrow into its carcass, exposing three feet of the backbone. Teddy gloated over his enemy, and began to pick up again from that hour. As soon as the baby's teething begins the romance of married life ceases. No woman can feel any sentiment for a man who travels around in his night shirt, of a hot summer's eve, with a squalling infant dangling over his shoulder. It is then that she stops calling him "darling," and descends to such commonplace observations as "John Camfire, be careful how you hold that baby."—Brooklyn Argus. SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. We have no special change to make in the general market since our last review. Business has been very dull and quiet, perhaps not more so than usual at this season of the year. During the holidays the banks and principal business houses in this city were closed, proing quite an interruption to the routine of trade. Harvesting is progressing freely, the late rains having only delayed programs without materially injuring the grain and hay; or the other hand, they were a positive benefit to the fruit crops everywhere on the coast. Immigration still continues from the Western States, the rate being nearly as great as during May, and nearly all who come seem to find employment of some kind—at least we hear but little complaint. The receipts of new grain are remarkably light, farmers evidently holding off for better prices. Townage is abundant and freights rule low, with no prospect of change in rates for some time to come. The present prices for first-class grain ships to ports direct in the United Kingdom being at 22 75¢ @ 21 10$, and very little doing at that. Wheat is without change in value since our last writing, though rates are well maintained and but few transactions in either old or new. Barley comes forward but slowly though the demand is good and prices hardening. The supply of oats is fair, Oregon still keeping up her supplies. Prices are nearly stationary as last quoted. Corn is without change, the demand and supply being nearly equally balanced. The market for Rye is steady with light supplies and small transactions. New Potatoes are arriving freely and the supply fully equals the demand, which is large; Prices are gradually seeking lower levels. Onions are at this writing rather scarce and better prices are obtained. Receipts of wool have fallen off; the demand is good; the Fall clip has been nearly all worked off at low rates. The stock of Spring is now quite light, as during the season, now nearly past, the market has been unusually active and sales have been affected at fair prices nearly as fast as the clip has been received; the general quality of this season's wool has been quite above the average, especially for all Northern fleece. Dairy Produce continues to bring good prices, the demand being unusually good and our markets not overstocked with home products, while receipts from Eastern markets have been quite light. Fruits of all seasonable varieties are in active demand and command high prices as compared with former seasons; the supply is moderate: our quotations have a wide range, as prices fluctuate daily according to the supply. WHEAT—There is but little offering in this market of either old or new. The price of choice old milling, which is quite scarce, has advanced, while new is stationary but firm at our quotations. The latest Liverpool quotations are given as follows: Average California wheat, 180 lbs @ 24¢ @ 6d. The present quotations in this market are for choice old milling $1 70@$1 72%, and for old shipping grades $1 65@$1 67%; new Shipping, $1 92@$1 65 for choice—ordinary to fair grades command $1 52%@$1 60 per cental. Oregon continues to send down supplies, the matter from State since January. Something New in Art. A CALIFORNIA DESIGN It is possible immaterial whether we class Photography amongst its affinities or among the fine arts. If we know where to obtain its best rendition. It is sufficient for any purpose in consider it as an art, to the perfection in which a certain amount of scientific knowledge is necessary, but whose indirect achievements are probably in the absence of a central rated state. The mechanical processes, the manipulation of materials and the mixing of colors and but primaries. Not unquestioning their importance, the eye that takes in the relations of the parts, breadth of light and shade, quality and balance of color and unity and harmony of the whole subject, determines the artist. The time to pause when photographs are made of material that is unit for anything else; it is graced by men whose scientific attainments are of no mean order, whose tastes have been entitied by the study of Nature and the minders, and whose works will live forever. We have seen on exhibition at Monroe's gallery, in this city, some specimens of photography which entitle the artist to a place in the foremost rank of those who have contributed to the progress of the art. Some fifteen years ago quite a sensation was created by the introduction of cartes de la vie, and the production of a dozen pictures for about the same one had therefore cost. Then came the porcelain picture, soft and brilliant, captivating all who saw it, and counting money for those who were successful in producing it. Later "cabinet" sizes were introduced, and then "retroching" to subdue or remove the rigidity or imperfections brought out by the enlargement of the head. Thus it is evident that "somebody" is thinking and experimenting all the while, and progress is the order. San Francisco is entitled to the credit of the last great improvement. Our climate and sky are favorable to experiments, and we have in our midst those who are quiet but persistently pushing their way beyond the beaten paths, and bringing back as the result of their enterprise new ideas and new styles. Concerning the latest novelty, the Photographer, a magazine published in the interest of the art in Philadelphia, says: "Since the introduction of retouching there has been but little new or novel, except it was that which called for more retouching, viz: the immense heads; and these have been pushed by many with a zeal that deserved a liberal reward, but it became irksome at last. There were calls for something different; some new style must be introduced. It came in a right tabout face, and from a source the least expected. We had all been looking for relief from the Old World whence most of the new things in art originate, but it came from the opposite direction. From the Golden State of the Pacific we have the last sensation in photography in form of the beautiful 'Promenade Photograph.' As we have before said, this style was originated and introduced by I. W. Taber, of San Francisco, who seems to possess both the inventive faculty and the enterprise to make a new thing go. It has recently sent us some cannibals made by him threw away which show that new designs are with him a matter of business." We commend lovers of the beautiful, as well as those who appreciate genius and enterprise, to Morses Gallery, at Montgomery street, where specimens of the art are on exhibition, which entitle this Gallery to rank as one of the first in this city about five years since its establishment. Mr. Morses established himself in this city about five years since his establishment which he deserves acclimatization today, by reason of his enterprise in introducing new styles. From this Gallery many of the new styles which have been so generally popular throughout the Union have originated.

WHEAT. There is but little offering in this market of either old or new. The price of choice old milling, which is quite scarce, has advanced, while new is stationary but firm at our quotations. The latest Liverpool quotations are given as follows: Average California wheat, 100¢95 2d; Club 95-2d¢95 6d. The present quotations in this market are for choice old milling $170@$172; and for old shipping grades $165@$173; new Shipping, $162@$165 for choice—ordinary to fair grades continue to send down supplies, the entire receipts from that State since January 18th to date amounting to about 20,000 cents. The new crop in that State promises well. FLOUR. There is a fair demand for all grades, both for home consumption and for export, and prices are firm but unchanged. City Extras command $475@$5 by the cargo. Superfine selling from $4 up to $150-190 Ds. The city jobbing price for Extras from the Golden Age and Golden Gate Mills is $525-50. The City mills are running on full time and doing a fairly active business. BARLEY. Receipts of both old and new crop have been limited and transactions light. There is a good demand for feed; Brewing is in moderate request. Our quotations are as follows: Brewing, $150@$160; Coast Feed, $140@$145 per cental. New feed is selling at $136-$140 per cental. OATS. The market demand is fair, but supplies are light, partly from Oregon, which are selling within the range of $200-$125; California Coast, $190-$200 per cental. RYE. In light demand, receipts are limited. There has been a slight concession in price, the present range being $275-120 per 100 Ds. CORN. Receipts have been moderate, with but little inquiry. Small transactions are reported at the following figures: $140@$145 for prime Yellow; White is very scarce, quotable at $150@$155. BRAN and MIDDLINGS. The mill prices are steady at $180 for bran, and $20 for middlings. The demand is good. HAY. There is a fair supply of both new and old, with an improved demand and a tendency to higher prices. The cargo price on the wharf ranges from $10 00 to $15 00 ton for new, and $12 00 to $17 00 for old, according to quality, there being an unusually wide range in prices. STRAW. A good article is saleable at 60¢95 per bale. BEANS. The demand is fair, and prices hardening. We quote the following rates for jobbing parcels: Bavos, 2¢93e; Pink, 1¢92e; Red, 1¢92e; White Pea, 3¢93e; White Butter at 4¢95c.d.b. HOPS. There is no movement to speak of Stocks are very light, and prices are firm for choice; 30¢93e may now be quoted as the range. HONEY. There is no change to report. Small lots of new strained are received weekly from Los Angeles and San Diego. Present stocks are much reduced and prices remain steady and firm at 18¥22£c for White Comb; dark do., 10¥15e; Strained remains steady at 6¥10e, according to quality. BEESWAX. The stock is quite small, and prices are steady at 27¢93e, with a light demand for export. POTATOES. We now have liberal supplies from Sacramento River and Half-Moon Bay, and prices are declining steadily. The range may be fairly stated at $10 00$157c per 100 Ds, according to size. New in small quantities have made their appearance in the market. ONIONS. Are doing better, the present price on the wharf being $125 for Red, and $140@$150 for Silverskins. WOOL. Transactions have been quite light for the week. There is no accumulation. All the old Fall stock, and the greater portion of Spring ellip have been disposed of. Receipts are falling off, and prices obtained for nearly all grades are satisfactory. We quote burry and seedy Spring, 15¥17e; good free shipping grades, 17¢93e; Choice and extra choice Northern, 20¢93e; Southern is not so desirably. We had all been looking for relief from the Old World whence most of the new things in art originate, but it came from the opposite direction. From the Golden State of the Parin we have the last sensation in photography in the form of the beautiful Promenade Photograph. As we have before said, this style was originated and introduced by I. W. Taber, of San Francisco, who seems to possess both the inventive faculty and the enterprise to make a new thing go. It has recently sent us some cabinets made by him three years ago, which show that new designs are with him a matter of business. We commend lovers of the beautiful, as well as those who appreciate genius and enterprise, to Morse Gallery. Established himself in this city about five years since, and was at once universally accorded the leading position which he deserves occupies today by reason of his many of the new styles which have been so generally popular throughout the Union have originated, and the same stodious enterprise and taste which have done as much for the artiving public characterize it still. We shall continue to anticipate new delights from the same source.-S. P. Hallett. Evidences of Prosperity. We love to see energy, hard work and perseverance meeting its just reward. We were very much gratified a day or two since in drooping in upon H. Williams & Co., to note the evidences of thrift and prosperity in their business. The increased demand for the "Verna Buena Bitters," not only in this city, but the country trade, has necessitated the adding of enlarged facilities for manufacturing this new remedy that is so rapidly growing into popular favor; while the demand for the XXX Horse Medicine, or "King of Liniments," is steadily increasing—every man that uses it seems to be satisfied that no other will supply its place. The Horseman's Collar Gall and Hoof Ointment is in steady demand. Indeed, Messrs. Williams & Co. seem to be fortunate in the class of remedies that they have presented for popular favor: "Murray's Magic Oil," "Warren's Botanic Cough Balsam," "Warren's Mountain Laurel Hair Tonic," as well as several articles of less importance, are all finding a rapid and increasing sale.

SAN FRANCISCO. 150 FARMS FOR SALE. 15,000 AGREED OF THE NEW PARK LAND, TO BE MOLD IN FAIRS TO SELL EVERY PURCHASE. The Celebrated Gerke Ranch. Living on the Saramacio river, in the counties of Bastia and Tehama, has been surged and divided into small farms of from 10 acres up to 30, in such a way as to make each farm a desirable and valuable homestead. THE GENERAL LOCATION OF THIS LAND is unassessed on the Pacific Coast. The Saramacio river, which bounds it on the west, is navigable to and above the lance at all seasons of the year. On the end of it runs the Oregon and California Railroad, thus affording at all times competition in the preservation and carrying trade, and bringing the markets of the world to its river landings and railroad depots. Do northern boundary is Deer Creek. A NEVER FAILING STREAM OF CLEAR SOFT WATER. Capable of furnishing sufficient water to irrigate ten times the number of acres every day in the year, and the land has a natural slope, so that every foot can be irrigated at comparatively small expense. Water rights will be secured to each and every farm purchased, and the surveys are no arranged that such farm will have timbered and untimbered land and roads so running that all will have convenient access to river and railroad. The CLIMATE of this portion of the Saramacio Valley is unparalleled by any other location on the coast, and no more healthy place can be found in the State. The SOIL is of a deep sandy loam, most admirably adapted to GENERAL AGRICULTURE, to the production of Wheat, Barley, Harey, Rye, Corn, Cotton and all the vegetables. ORANGES and LEMONS and other sent-tropical fruits do well in the open air, and no better locality or soil can be found for the fruits of all kinds. A VINEYARD OF 100,000 VINES. And the grapes grown are among the best produced in the State for the table, for raisins and for wine. While this vineyard will not be divided to accommodate all purchasers, every subdivision of the place will remain equally well adapted to the vine as that now in vineyard—and vines two years from the setting will bear fair crops. The above proposed sale presents to immigrants or others of small or ample means, the best chance to secure COMFORTABLE HOMES in the very GARDEN OF THE COAST, ever before offered in the State. No better opportunity was ever offered for 100 or 150 FAMILIES TO UNITE TOGETHER IN A COLONY AND PURCHASE HOMESTEADS FOR ALL. The land will be sold in small or large lots at private sale up to Sept. 8, at which time Public Sale will take place on the premises, and an EXCESSION TRAIN WILL RUN ON THAT DAY. From Sacramento to the lance for the accommodation of all who desire to attend. A CORRECT MAP OF THE WHOLE PLACE. Showing in a bird's-eye view the subdivision as laid out by the late survey, the rivers, creeks and lakes, as well as belts of timber, can be seen at the office of the General Agent, and will be forwarded to any one applying for them free of cost. TERMS OF SALE: One fourth cash; balance in equal installments of one, two, three, four and five years, at 10 per cent. per annum, payable annually.
