ADAMS ON RAILROads. The Record-Union has done the people of this State a good service in publishing the speech of Hon. Francis Adams Jr., on "The Railroad Question." This speech should be widely read. It is to be hoped, however, that the very important suggestions of Mr. Adams do not sink out of sight in the Record-Union's comment that the solution of the railroad problem is simply to "let it alone." Railroads would like this. The railroads of Massachusetts would prefer there were no Commissioners to listen to complaints from the people, to suggest changes or improvements and to bring public opinion to bear upon railroads, and if this last falls, to introduce the matter to the legislature. The work of the commission in Massachusetts has been so happy during the past six years, that other States may be pardoned if they should desire the same advantage. As the Record-Union has so fully endorsed Mr. Adams, we may hope to see it, and the great railroad corporation it supports, or which supports it, make strenuous efforts to have a similar railroad commission established in California. We may also hope in this State to inaugurate that other reform in railroad methods, to which Mr. Adams refers, which will place us in the vast railroad State as we al- STATEMENT OF Statement of the tel and Building helm, Incorporated Expenditures paid: For real estate...

We cannot refrain from again referring to the matter of a public school building, and we address our remarks more especially to the parents of the children, and to our public-spirited citizens. The need of adequate and suitable provision for our scholars, for our children, has been more than painfully apparent during the last hot term. Not to speak of the aesthetic influence of beautiful surroundings; not to speak of comfort while in the school-room; the time spent in recess, and in the interval between morning and afternoon session, in the broiling sun, in the heated air, with not so much as a bush for a shade or a place of rest, is enough to compel parents, who reside some distance from the school, to refuse to send their children. The benefits of recess are lost in the heat the children must suffer whether they run or play, or not. As they return to study it cannot be with the vigor and elasticity they ought to have; but it can only be with lassitude and weariness, while those children who come from a distance must spend the noon-hour lounging about some lumber pile or unfinished building, or hanging around our bar-rooms or saloons. They must either be in some place where they are not wanted or ought not to be, or else they must almost melt in the broiling, hot sun. It is a positive shame to a community of the age and happy during the past six years, that other States may be pardoned if they should desire the same advantage. As the Record-Union has so fully endorsed Mr. Adams, we may hope to see it, and the great railroad corporation it supports, or which supports it, make strenuous efforts to have a similar railroad commission established in California. We may also hope in this State to inaugurate that other reform in railroad methods, to which Mr. Adams refers, which will place us in the van as a railroad State, as we already are in the direction of finances. In the language of Mr. Adams, as reported in the Record-Union, this needed reform is as follows: "In Massachusetts there is one thing more which we are aiming at, and if that can be secured I shall for my part consider the railroad question as settled there for many years to come. That thing, too, sounds as if it were a trifle, and yet with it everything is secured—without it, nothing. We are casting about to effect in some way what no State has yet approached to, practical uniformity, approximate exactness and absolute publicity in all railroad accounts; and this not in one State alone, but in all the States. This I believe to be the one vital, radical, all-important measure of railroad reform, in itself including all others. The books of all railroad corporations should, I do not hesitate to say, be kept on an exactly uniform system, and like the national banks, under a right public supervision. This, too, for the protection of the stockholders and bondholders, no less than for that of the community. An altogether too murky darkness has hitherto been jealously preserved over the intricate science of railroad book-keeping, and under cover of it endless frauds have been perpetrated; this it is which has led to the abuses of stock-watering, and made railroad financiering a proverb—and for what? only to result in periodical discontent on the one hand, and bankruptcy on the other. The old system has ever proved a cover and an invitation to fraud; we should reform it altogether." Mr. Adams hopes for a peaceful and adequate and speedy solution of the railroad problem. This will certainly come as well as the solution of other important questions, just as soon as honest, unbiased, straight-forward, unselfish common-sense attempts the work. But self-interest and paid participation cannot in the nature of things make any very great advance. Such disinterested thinkers as Mr. Adams are far in advance of those whose short sight cannot see beyond immediate profits. It certainly must be a nice county to live in.

It is a positive shame to a community of the age and wealth, and supposed intelligence, of Anaheim, that the present structure has been allowed to satisfy so long. Something should be done at once. Authority to bond the district, or to tax the district, can be secured by some kind of vote, or by a special enactment at Sacramento. If anything can be done in either way, a movement should be inaugurated at once. Is there not some one, who will secure either a proper authorized election, as to submitting to a tax? or if this is not best, will secure the framing of a suitable law to enable the district to issue bonds for the work, and by a largely signed petition, secure its passage this winter? Let the mothers talk to the fathers; let the fathers consult together; let it be seen that we are not devoid of interest in the welfare of our little ones, nor are we without a broad and liberal public spirit. DR. HILGOARD, Professor of Agriculture at the State University, has been on a visit to Sonoma and Napa counties to confer with vinticulturists in regard to the ravages of the phylloxera in those counties, with a view to applying a remedy. We are glad to see this movement, and hope it will be followed up by the Professor till some good may grow out of it. We are principally pleased, however, because it is a proof that the Professor of Agriculture has an eye to practical results. It certainly must be a nice county to live in. Read what the Mountain Echo says: "We hear persons very frequently speak of the condition of things in Breathiti county, Kentucky, as though one would be in danger of losing his life in passing through that county, and we understand that many persons are actually afraid to go to Jackson, the county seat, to trade or transact business. Such fears are by no means well founded. The time has never been when a stranger was in any danger, except it should be from an accidental shot." Cooking Rhubarb. Rhubarb is best cut in lengths, boiled in water and sugar, and served with boiled rice round the dish; or it may be treated like "gooseberry food." A little good cream gives it a delicate taste, which it never has in puddings or tarts. The following are excellent receipts for making rhubarb jams and marmalade: Cut the rhubarb as if for tarts, and to every quart give one pound of good moist sugar; put the sugar over the rhubarb and leave it for twenty-four hours to draw out the juice. By this method the pieces of rhubarb remain separate from each other when the preserve is done. It keeps good for a year if kept in jars well-dried in a dry place. For the marmalade procure six oran es; peel them, and take away the white rinds and pips; then slice the pulp into a stew pan along with the peel, cut very small; add thereto one quart of rhubarb, cut finely, and from one pound to one pound and a half of sugar. Boil the whole down in the usual way, as for other preserves. Made in this manner, it is nearly equal to Scotch marmalade, which is regarded on all hands to be the finest anywhere made.

A prominent democrat in Cleveland, Ohio, who was quite zealous in canvassing for votes, concluded to alve Wan Lee a turn. Accordingly he dropped into the sanctum of the great washerman, and opened his batteries without ado. "We want you to vote the democratic ticket, Mr. Le," said he, politely. "It is the grand road to wealth, and the party which fathers it is the home of the suffering poor man." "Yes," said Wan Lee eagerly, "him Wan Lee a welly poor man." "We will make you rich," continued the canvasser. "With a fresh issue of greenbacks, labor will command higher prices, and the price of washing will go up." "Welly good," said the delighted Wan. "Him alle me want. Send him up top side alle soon you dam please." "I should not be surprised," said Mr. democrat, highly pleased with the progress he was making, "if in less than a year you could get three dollars a dozen for your laundry work, if the democratic ticket carries." "What that!" shrieked Wan. "Say him again. Just tell me him again. Three dolle dozen. By damme, I vote democratic ticket to-day; to-mollow, yesterday—alle time. I vote him boily, bleeces, and boots—thiee dolle dozen—whoop!" The democrat left, sure that he had Wan Lee and all the celestials on the right side of the fence, while the 'heathen chinee' went back to his labor with a smile on his face that was bland, but not childlike by any means.

Two hundred and forty-three shares of the capital stock have been subscribed and 40 per cent paid up on the most of it, and the balance is secured. Fifteen shares more have been subscribed, but not yet taken. There are one hundred and forty-two shares to be subscribed for yet, making one hundred and fifty-seven shares that has not paid assessments yet. Should we succeed in getting the balance on the stock taken, there is nothing to prevent us from going ahead and completing the hotel at once. Had a like enterprise been inaugurated in any other town in the State of the same population and wealth, the stock would have been taken and the building completed in six or seven months, at the furthest; but this placed has been blessed with a non-progressive, do-nothing, pull-back (by the way, I think some of their names are backs) sort of people who earnestly desire the place to improve in wealth and population, and to see their property increase in value, and see the streets and sidewalks made passable for vehicles and pedestrians, without disbursing a dime towards the consumption of any part thereof; their only object appears to be to get money and property, and keep it. Santa Barbara is very little ahead of Anaheim, either in wealth or population, yet they are building an $80,000 hotel on the same plan, viz: by a joint stock company; and all the stock has been subscribed at home, in the town of Santa Barbara, whereas only 188 shares of our hotel stock has been taken in town, and the people here appear to be perfectly willing, and even anxious, to have the citizens of Los Angeles to take the balance of the stock and own the hotel. Every good citizen who desires the welfare of the town and its surroundings should immediately come forward and take what stock they can in this enterprise, and help us to complete this much-needed edifice. A good hotel would draw to our town many wealthy people from the North and East, who are seeking after health in our salubrious climate. They would not only spend their money among us, but it would give the town an enviable reputation abroad. Let every property holder come forward and subscribe liberally, and the hotel will be completed in the next six months, and there is no doubt but it will be a paying investment, besides being a great ornament to the town. S. J. DAVIS, Secretary. What that? shrieked Wan. "Say him again. Just tell me him again. Threedole dozen. By damme, I vote democratic ticket to-day; to-mollow, yesterday—alle time. I vote him boily, bleeces, and boots—threedole dozen—whoop!" The democrat left, sure that he had Wau Lee and all the celestials on the right side of the fence, while the then chineese went back to his labor, with a smile on his face that was bland, but not childlike by any means. A republican dropped in a few moments afterward, and Wau commenced pouring out to him the golden prospects that shone before him. "But he didn't tell you all," said the republican. "If washing goes up everything else will." "Whate that?" asked the heathen. "Why, everything else will go up with washing," said the republican. "Your rent will be doubled, soap will, and rice will be fifty cents a pound—" "Stoppee, there," said Wau, while his face blanched. "You telle true when you telle me rice go up to fifty cents a pound?" "True as anything." "And lente costee me more?" "The rent of the room will be more beyond a doubt." "And soapee, and calce, and shirtee?" "All will go up," answered the amused republican. "The damne democratic ticket! Him don't gotte my vote. Him go to the devil for alle Wau Lee. Alle light as it is. Wau Lee don't want to pay more lent, and alle go republican alle time on him. Hear me!" —Cleveland Leader. What our Tea Brands Signify. In Taylor's Travels in China, the significations of some of the names by which the different brands of teas are known are given, which are as follows—making due allowance for the changes and corruptions they undergo in form and sound, in being Anglicised: "Hyson" means "before the rains" or "flouring spring"—that is, early in the spring. Hence it is often called "Young Hyson." "Hyson Skin" is composed of the refuse of the other kinds, the native term which means "tea skins." Refuse of a still coarser description, containing many stems, is called "tea bones." "Bohea" is the name of the hills in the region where it is collected. "Pehoe," or "Pecco," means "white hairs"—the down on the tender leaves. "Ponchong"—folded plant." "Twankay" is the name of a small stream in the province whence it is brought. "Congo" is from a term signifying "labor," from the care required in its preparation.

How to Calculate Interest, and What it will do. The following rules are so simple and so true, according to all business usages, that every banker, broker, merchant or clerk should post them up for reference. There being no such thing as a fraction in it, there is scarce any liability to error or mistake. By no other arithmetical processes can the desired information be obtained by so few figures: Six per cent.—Multiply any given number of days of interest desired by the principal; separate the right hand figure and divide by six; the result is the true interest, in cents, on such sum for such number of days at 6 per cent. Eight per cent.—Multiply any given amount for the number of days upon which it is desired to ascertain the interest, and divide by forty-five, and the result will be the interest on such sum for the time required, at eight per cent. Ten per cent.—Multiply the same as above and divide by thirty-six, and the result will be the amount of interest on such sum for the time required at ten per cent. What it will do.—If a mechanic or clerk save only two and three quarters cents per day, from the time he is twenty one until he is three score and ten, the aggregate, with interest, will amount to $2,900; and a daily saving of 271 cents reaches the important sum of $29,000. A spence saved daily will provide a fund of $7,000, sufficient to purchase a good farm. Every person should provide for old age, and the man in business who can lay by a dollar a day will eventually find himself possessed of over $100,000. Sam. Smith, the driver of the Sonora and Milton stage, which was stopped by three highwaymen near Milton last Tuesday, is reported by the Sonora Democrat to have delivered the following eloquent address upon that occasion: Gentlemen, I have been a driver, boy and man, going on twenty years. I never ditched a stage or growled at a passenger, and gentlemen, I assure you I had some of the toughest outsiders that ever left Boston for a week's chassez in Yosemite. I have met gentlemen of your kind before, and I defy any of them to come forward and say I ever treated them with contempt; on the other hand, it has been my aim to act toward highway—excuse me, gentlemen, I mean road agents, with the distinguished consideration due their standing in society. Hence you will believe me when I say that I have nothing for you this morning. Sorry, gentlemen, but the truth of the matter is, Wells Fargo & Co.'s boxes are young poor houses on this road just now, and you couldn't squeeze a picayune out of one of them to save your sweet necks from the gallows. Oh, she was an A 1 Conneaut belle," of the very first water," or more; and she married a regular fine-haired "swell" who clerked in a dry goods store. And he clerked, and he clerked till at last he fell into trouble with some of the money; and they went out West in a way, folks tell, not particular funny. And after a time the belle came home, the old folks for to see; and the neighbors asked, when they found she'd come, what her husband's biz might be. "Oh, he is a railroad man now," she said—"Assistant conductor," said she; but some one asked, as he shook his head, what the Dickens that might be. And then with that high old "style" of here, she answered the interrogation; "He assists in slacking the speed of the car, when the train approaches a station." K. N.

Pool, a resident of Salinas, who was a passenger, but was not on the stage at the time. He was walking just behind the coach.
