Bacon against Bowen. Rev Dr. George R. Bacon makes another contribution to the great scandal literature, in Saturday's Tribune, wherein he criticizes his critics for the course he pursued respecting the sanitation of an eating for Mrs. Bowen on the Board of Trustees of the Congregational Union. In this letter Dr. Bacon uses this very plain language respecting the course pursued by Mr. Bowen in the scandal case; "Setting aside any general grounds of prejudice and dislike, there are definite and explicit grounds on which my recent movement can be justified, and which are wholly independent of my personal convictions concerning the case just now before the Court." Both parties in the case just now before the court cannot be right. One of them is wrong. So far as concerns the trustee whose fitness for a representative position in the management of a religious society is under discussion, it makes no difference which is right and which is wrong. He allows the public to believe that he knows all about the matter which is now on trial. He told me in the interview to which I have referred that he knew all about it. If he does, he knows either that his pastor is a good man or that he is an infamously bad man. If he knows that his pastor is a good man wrongfully accused and sits still, and not by word or gesture helps to vindicate that goodness—then he is not a man to represent me, at least, whoever else he represents—in any position which my vote affects. If he knows that his pastor is a bad man, and sits still and not by any manly word or open not helps to put him out from the position, which in that case, is every hour degraded and profaned, nay, more, receives from him the bread and wine of the Lord's Supper, while he knows that the hands that break the bread and fill the cup are what they are on this hypothesis—then he is not a man for whom I will vote for the occupant of a representative position in a religious society nor a man to whom I can willingly give Christian fellowship or social recognition. The only way to treat a man of this kind, as it seems to me, is to make him feel that the "policy of silence," under either of these alternatives, is to be pursued at the risk of every social and ecclesiastical penalty which it is possible for an indignant public sentiment to inflict. The plea that he is bound to silence still, by The Forests of Cuba. A recent report to the English Foreign Office by Mr. A. Graham Dunlop, on the forests of Cuba and the consumption of its timber, states that no calculation of any value can be made at present, so much of the best forest districts in the central and eastern departments being in the hands of insurgents; but little has been cut since 1868, when the insurrection began, the trade having been paralyzed; and the timber must have increased, and large masses must be maturing and improving.' Mr. Dunlop gives a long list of Cuban trees. There is a hard and compact mahogany, the soft cedar, "one of the most precious trees, and everlasting in dry places;" the light violet neuna, very hard wood; the sabina, "everlasting and good for all uses;" the ramon, a great resource in drought for feeding cattle with its leaves; the bluish-green flexible majagna; the best wood known for gunstocks, carriage-poles, and ship-knees; the quick growing lanero, "bearing an abundant fruit which encloses an enormous quantity of silky fibres, from which great advantages might be derived in industry;" the yaba, a hard wood, fit for shipbuilding, it being "indestructible under water and under ground;" but it is poisonous, and the "smoke produces blindness, and the bark is used to destroy worms." Cuba produces an immense variety of colored woods for cabinet work. Mr. Chapman, member and representative in Cuba of a large English engineering house, makes mention of a floor in a room he has seen inflated with fifteen or sixteen different kinds of beautiful hard woods. Of the fastic wood of this part of the world a vice-consul in Honduras says: "It resists the action of water better than any other wood known here, and house posts made of it have been found sound and fresh after being in the ground for a century." Almost all the forest land in Cuba belongs to private persons. The government forests have been neglected, and left to chance and plunder; and there has been no attempt to control the misuse and waste and wanton destruction of forests. Immense quantities of trees were felled by the breeders of cattle and swine to make enclosures, what was not required being burned, and no regard being paid to leaving valuable hard timber. The planters find sugar can be made cheaply in wooded districts, and the remains of the forests are burned and destroyed, but still there is a vast amount of timber, and SAN FRANCISCO Since the holidays have some revival in many areas; this taken together crop reports from there a much better feeling not only has trade boomed but prices for nearly all domestic produce has thus giving increase duers. Harvesting has now come coast, and the time to the best authorities about two-thirds that surplus for export cars. The new crop of wheat forward and priced, while as yet the current rates is quite changed and tonnage progressed of an advance migration to the coast process of arrivals over a June being about 40%. Wheat is in light prices firm at our quintuple new crop; the old brick and in request for mills being in demand chiefly in fair demand with various quotations. Bread and rates are firm; bread has been quite a mass of oats, with an active new crop; the stockgon. The supply of hay not changed frightened for rye is steadily small transactions. Potatoes continue shade off in considerable large, and thus far latest new crop good prices are in free supply mandate at our quotation wool has nearly all bulk of the clip prices to the production stock of wool in the fall clip of high grade character. Rough wool, both California demand, and a silk would soon rid them. These high priced wheat than the low priced shrinkage in clean loss in some clips is as high as 70 percent to clean wool ought the part of producing annually, as at annually, is received parts of the Star New Fall clip have. Dairy produce comes from markets not oversize while receipts from been quite light. Interies are in active high prices ascome the supply is moderate. Lord's Supper, while he knows that the hands that break the bread and fill the cup are what they are on this hypothesis—then he is not a man for whom I will vote for the occupant of a representative position in a religious society nor a man to whom I can willingly give Christian fellowship or social recognition. The only way to treat a man of this kind, as it seems to me, is to make him feel that the policy of silence, under either of these alternatives, is to be pursued at the risk of every social and ecclesiastical penalty which it is possible for an indignant public sentiment to inflict. The plea that he is bound to silence still, by any covenants—tripartite or other—or by obligations of honor and friendship, is a plea which will not be generally accepted. There are other obligations which, under the circumstances, may well be paramount, and these obligations are not to be ignored without offence to public sentiment, nor without provoking public censure." The Influence of Reading. If I were to pray for a taste which would stand me in stead under every variety of circumstances, and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness to me through life, and a shield against its ills, however things might go amiss and the world frown upon me, it would be a taste for reading. I speak of it, of course, only as a worldly advantage, and not in the slightest degree as superseding or derogating from the higher office and surer and stronger panoply of religious principle; but as a taste, an instrument and a source of pleasurable gratification. Give a man this taste and the means of gratifying it, and you can hardly fail of making him a happy man, unless indeed, you put into his hands a most perverse selection of books. You place him in contact with the best society in every period of history—with the wisest, the wittiest with the tenderest, the bravest, and the purest characters that have adorned humanity. You make him a denizen of all nations—a contemporary of all ages. The world has been created for him. It is hardly possible but the character should take a higher and a better tone from the constant habit of associating in thought with a class of thinkers, to say the least of it, above the average humanity. It is morally impossible but that the manners should take a tinge of good breeding and civilization from having constantly before one's eyes the way in which the best bred and the best informed men have talked and conducted themselves in their intercourse with each other. There is a gentle but perfectly irresistible coercion in the habit of reading, directed over the whole tenor of a man's character; and conduct, which is not effectual because it works insensibly, and because it is really the last thing he dreams of.—Sir John Heraehell. The Priest and the Surgeon.—The Paris correspondent of the Graphic tells the following anecdote: Dupuytren was a famous surgeon, but brusque and unpolished. One day, as he re-entered his house, he found installed in the anteroom an old pricat, who had long been waiting his return. "What do you want of me?" growled Dupuytren. "I wish you to look at this," meekly replied the priest, Culture of Trees at the West.—Under the act of Congress offering 160 fresh after being in the ground for a century." Almost all the forest land in Cuba belongs to private persons. The government forests have been neglected, and left to chance and plunder; and there has been no attempt to control the misuse and waste and wanton destruction of forests. Immense quantities of trees were felled by the breeders of cattle and swine to make enclosures, what was not required being burned, and no regard being paid to leaving valuable hard timber. The planters find sugar can be made cheaply in wooded districts, and the remains of the forests are burned and destroyed, but still there is a vast amount of timber, and Mr. Dunlop states that, if the fellings were properly regulated, the export of timber from Cuba might be very large even though the government should not insist on "replantings." Three million square feet of mahogany, five million square feet of cedar and two thousand tons of fastie wood would be ready for the axe every year. Mr. Chapman observes that in the last century forty-two ships of war were built in the Royal Arsenal of Havana, chiefly with Cuba wood, and some of them still exist as hulks; and ships of excellent quality were built in Cuba not long ago. But complaint is now made of the forests not even attracting rain enough for the crops in the plains, although with proper management these would have produced sufficient timber for navies of several powers. The California Quail. I now come to a species of bird essentially Californian, and, although it can hardly be classed as a songster, undoubtedly a favorite with the sportsman and bon evict. I refer to the California partridge, more commonly known by the name of the "valley quail." It is a most beautiful species of the quail family, and is remarkable for a graceful top-knot, consisting of five or six feathers curved forward like a plume on the top of the head. It is gregarious, collecting in large coveys and seeking during the day the shelter of wooded canyons and thickets, usually in the vicinity of a mountain brook, and at night roosting among the branches of some shady trees. The male, like the Scotch grouse, is fond of mounting upon a stump or rock, and in the early morning may be heard calling her mate, uttering a peculiarly full and pleasing note, somewhat resembling the words "huck oueck nuck," which he repeats several times. Sometimes the first note will be sounded two or three times in succession, with a slight pause between each, and finally the two other notes added. His call has by some writers been designated as harsh and disagreeable; I believe people will agree with me that his cry when heard in the early morning is suggestive of rural pleasures and the delightful awakening of another day. The mountain quails, so-called from their frequenting the mountain districts, are larger and still handsomer birds; they are less gregarious, and the top-knot, which book-like a single feather, is much longer; and instead of hanging forward like that of a valley quail, droops gracefully backward. Their call-notes resemble somewhat the chirping of a flock of chickens. Wm. Paton, in Over. Monthly.

One day, as he re-entered his house, he found installed in the anteroom an old priest, who had long been waiting his return. "What do you want of me?" growled Dupuytren. "I wish you to look at this," meekly replied the priest, taking off an old woolen cravat, which revealed upon the nap of his neck a hideous tumor. Dupuytren looked at it. "You'll have to die with that," he coolly remarked. "I thank you, doctor," simply replied the priest, replacing his cravat, and am much obliged to you for warning me, as I can prepare myself, as well as my poor parishioners, who love me very much." The surgeon, who was never astonished at great things, looked upon this priest, who received his death sentence unmoved, with amazement, and said, come to-morrow at 8 o'clock, to the Hotel Dieu and ask for me. The priest was prompt. The surgeon procured for him a special room, and in a month's time the man went out cured. When leaving he took out of a sack 30 francs in small change. "It is all I have to offer you, doctor," he said; "I came here on foot from R——in order to save this." The doctor looked at the money, and drawing a handful of gold from his pocket, put it in the bag along with the 30 francs, saying, "It is for your poor," and the priest went away. Some years later the celebrated doctor, feeling death to be near, bethought him of the good priest and wrote to him. He came, and Dupuytren received the "last consolations" and died in his arms. The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues would be proud, if our faults whipped them not; and our crimes would despair, if they were not cherished by our virtues. FINN, the celebrated comedian, once fell over a lot of wooden ware in front of a man's shop, upon which the shopkeeper cried out, "you came near kicking the bucket than time, mister." "Oh, no," said Finn, quite complacently; "I only turned a little pale." The population of Japan has increased 150,000 since 1873. CULTURE OF TREES AT THE WEST.—Under the act of Congress offering 160 acres of land to any person who would plant forty acres of them to trees and cultivate them for eight years, about 1,100 had taken up 170,000 acres of land in Minnesota, up to January. This was an encouraging effort, considering the brief space of time elapsing after the amendment of the act. By the effort of the State, and private and associated effort, it is estimated that 80,000,000 trees are now growing in Minnesota, besides those planted under the Congressional act. A report on the subject says that the cost of planting and of cultivation is marvelously small, in many cases not exceeding from two to five cents a tree. We suspect that tree culture will prove the best farming for some of our worn out New England farms. The advocates of a system of forestry in this country will find their model and warning in Prussia, where the government already owns a third of the wood land, and proposes to prohibit private owners from clearing off their own soil, except so far as they will replant with young trees. Friedonthal, the minister of agriculture, claims that while Russia has 37 per cent. of her soil under wood, and Austria 30, Prussia has only 28%. Stringent as the proposed legislation is, it stands somehow of adoption. The artificial culture of trees, by the way, is coming more and more in vogue in California, and the demand for young trees to set out this spring is very large.—Springfield Republican. MAJOR COLE, of Chicago, is producing almost as great surprise in London, in his children's revival meetings, as Moody and Spankey has done in preaching to adults. Fully 10,000 children were present in Bow Hall, London, and the singing is described as wonderful. A SMALL woolen mannufactory has been discovered among the ruins of Pompeii. Several charred fragments of tapestry were found, besides various machines for carding and weaving wool. SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. Since the holidays have past there has been some revival in many departments of business; this taken together with more cheerful crop reports from the interior, has produced a much better feeling among our merchants; not only has trade been more generally active, but prices for nearly all the varieties of our domestic produce have advanced materially, thus giving increased encouragement to producers. Harnessing has now well advanced all over the coast, and the final crop result, according to best authorities, may safely be placed at about two-thirds that of last year, giving surplus for export estimated at $50,000 tons. The new crop of wheat is very slow in coming forward and the crop remains at our quotations, while as yet the demand for export at current rates is quite light. Freights are unchanged and tonnage abundant, with little prospect of an advance for some time yet. Immigration to the coast has fallen off, the excess of arrivals over departures for the month of June being about 6,000 persons. Wheat is in light receipt and in fair demand, prices firm at our quotations for both old and new crop, the old bringing the higher price, and in request for millers' use—the new crop being in demand chiefly for export. Flour is in fair demand with a slight advance over previous quotations. Barley is in liberal supply and rates are firm, though unchanged. There has been quite a marked advance in the price of oats, with an active demand for both old and new crop; the stock of old is chiefly from Oregon. The supply of corn is liberal and prices have not changed from last report. The market for rye is steady with light supplies and small transactions. Potatoes continue to arrive freely, and prices shade off in consequence. The demand is large, and thus far since the appearance of the new crop good prices have been obtained. Onions are in free supply and in moderate demand at our quotations. The Spring clip of wool has nearly all been marketed and the bulk of the clip disposed of, realizing fair prices to the producers. There is still a large stock of wool in the market, including some of the Fall clip of 1874, but it is mostly of low grade character. Really fine grades of Spring wool, both California and Oregon, are in fair demand, and a slight congestion in prices would soon rid the market of the entire lot. These high priced wools are frequently cheaper than the low priced, on account of less shrinkage in cleaning. The percentage of loss in some clips is from 50 to 60 per cent, and we have heard of cases where it has run as high as 20 per cent. The preference given to clean wool ought to stimulate more care on the part of producers. The question of shearing annually, as at the East, instead of semi-annually, is receiving some attention in different parts of the State. A few small parcels of new Fall clip have been received. 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 These high priced woods are frequently cheaper than the low price, on account of less shrinkage in cleaning.

Fruits of all seasonable varieties are in active demand and command high prices as compared with former seasons; the supply is moderate with quotations having a wide range, as prices fluctuate daily according to the supply. WHEAT.-The new crop comes forward slowly and the demand, though fair, is not active--export requirements being limited to orders and entirely without speculative demand. Freights are nominal and steady, say within the range of £25@$210s, the latter being the outside rate for first-class grain ships to ports direct. The latest Liverpool quotations are given as follows: Average California wheat, 95%@$54d; Club 95%@$94d. Old wheat is in good request for milling purposes. We note sales during the week of 15,000 sks of new for export within the range of $1$25@$167s; choice old milling is quotable at $1$70@$180 per ell. FLOUR.-Trade is reported active in all grades both for home consumption and for export. The stock on hand is light and several of the mills are running on full time. Present quotations range as follows: Superfine stand-out brands,$4@$450; Extra Superior $4$70@$80; Extra Family $5$25@$625 per barrel of 190 lbs. BARLEY.-Transactions have been fair, receipts moderate, with a good demand for feed. Prices are firm but unchanged. We quote choice旧 Bay Brewing at $1$50@$160; choice Brewing, new,$1$45@$150; old feed,$1$45@$147; new do,$1$30@$150. OATS.-The demand has been unusually active, and prices for some time past have been tending upward, sales being noted within the week at $2$25@$2575 per cent. New hare now made their appearance, and the market will probably decline as the supply increases. Present quotations are within the range of $2$15@$220 per cent. RYE.-In light demand, receipts are limited. Prices are steady, the present range being $1$275@$30 per 100 lbs. CORN.-Receipts have been moderate, with but little inquiry. Small transactions are reported at the following figures: $1$40@$145 for prime Yellow; White is very scarce, quotable at $1$50@$155. BRAN and MIDDLINGS.-The mill prices are steady at $180@$80 for bran, and $280@$90 for middlings. The demand is good. HAY.-Receipts have been very large during the week, causing a general falling off in prices. Good new Wheat is now selling at $1750@$180 per ton. The range of prices for all other kinds is from $10 per ton upwards. BEANS.-Supplies are liberal and the market very dull. Following are current quotations for jobbing lots: Bayo,$2$75@$300; Butter,$3$25@$50 for small; $4$25@$450 for large; White,small,$3$25@$500 large; $3$50; Pan,$3$25@$350 central; Pink and Red,$1$75@$200. SEEDS.-There is a demand for Brown Mustard seed at low figures. We quote: Flax,$78.32%@c; Mustard,white,$13.24%@c; Mustard,Brown,11.22%c; Canary 29c; Alfalfa,156lbs. HOPES.-There is no movement to speak of. Stocks are very light, and prices are firm for choice; $30%@c may now be quoted as the range. The new crop is reported as promising in quality and fully up to the average of former years in quantity. 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%@c for White Comb; dark do, 10%@c; Strained remains steady at 6%@10c, according to quality. BEESWAX.-The stock is quite small, and prices are steady at 27%@30c, with a light depreciation of Thoroughbred Spanish Bruner of Thoroughbred Spanish Brunei, Rheumatism, Mind Fever, Swellings, etc. Try it and you will use no other.

The Celebrated Gerke Ranch, Living on the Sacramento River in the counties of Hastings and Tehama, has been surveyed and disabled up into small farms of more than 4 acres up to 20, in such a way to make each farm a MINIMAL AND FALEABLE HOMESTead. THE GENERAL LOCATION OF THIS LAND is unpassed on the Pacific Coast. The Narrauate River which bounds it on the west, is navigable to and above the Ranch at all seasons of the year. On the east of it runs the Yosemite and California Railroad, thus affording at all times competition in the passenger and carrying trade, and bringing the markets of the world to its river landings and railroad depots. The northern boundary is Deer Creek. A SEVERE 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 so arranged that each farm will have timbered and untimbered land and roads so running that all will have convenient access to river and railroad. The GENERAL LOCATION of the Narrauate Valley is unpassed by any other locality 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, Oats, Rye, Corn, Cotton and all the vegetables. ORANGES and LEMONS and other semi-tropical fruits do well in the open air, and no better locality or soil can be found for 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 contain land equally well adapted to the vine as that now in vineyard—and vines two years from the cutting 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 HONESTEADS 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 EXCURSION TRAIN WILL RUN ON THAT DAY From Sacramento to the Ranch 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 offices 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. Land may be purchased at private sale until the day of public sale on Sept. 8. J. H. CARROLL, 77 Front Street, Sacramento City, General Agent. For information apply to DR. J. S.
