WEEKLY GAZETTE. Established 1870. SATURDAY... JUNE 30, 1877. There can be little doubt as to the Government having done all in its power for reconstruction, if Governor Hampton, of South Carolina, was not joking when, in apologizing for keeping a white visitor waiting, he said: "I have of late been represented" at Washing as refusing to see the negroes, and hence, when there is any doubt, I always give them the precedence." A very stringent law was enacted by the New Jersey Legislature at its last session, putting the brake upon locomotive engineers and firemen who go on a strike. At the late strike on the New Jersey Central, passengers were left shivering, several miles from any station, in the dead of night. If this experiment be again repeated, the perpetrators, under this law, will pay a heavy fine and go to State Prison. Another section of the act provides that "no man who takes the place of a striker shall be intimidated, nor shall any attempt be made to induce him to abandon his engine while making a trip." The Sacramento Record-Union has the following: At Gutenberger's Foundry a number of men have been engaged several weeks in the construction of improved apparatus. THE HONEY TRADE. The raising of honey has within the last two or three years become a business of great magnitude in this section of the county. The mountain sides and small canyons, hitherto considered worthless, except for grazing during a small portion of the year, and many localities not even fit for that, have now become quite valuable for bee ranches and have been rapidly occupied. The future of the business seems to be that it will become one of the leading industries of this section, and that with proper management, the mountain sides will vie with the valley in contributing to the wealth of the county. The rapid development of the business and the temptations offered by the health giving air of the mountains, and the almost security of the investment have induced many whose life had been devoted to indoor pursuits and who are new comers to the country, to embark in it and therefore there are very few experienced apiarists. The readiness with which the honey found a sale, introduced and fostered slovenly and insufficient methods of preparing and introducing it to the market, which, as the supply has increased, has worked great injury to its reputation analsale. In the older States every business which assumes any magnitude is protected and fostered by a system of united action among those directly interested in it. Such a system is now becoming essentially necessary among the bee keepers, and we are glad to see that efforts are being made to effect associations with a view of combining and utilizing the information acquired by Sunday Morning. The Christian Advocate of its brethren. It says bill was received at this day the benefit of a Protestant land a "Terpsicorean val."

The quarrels among the English Established Church The ritualists still declare their ground, and the Low for a rigid prosecution of The Sacramento Record-Union has the following: At Gutenberger's Foundry a number of men have been engaged several weeks in the construction of improved apparatus for the manufacture of sugar from melons, etc., at the works erected at Isleton, and the machinery is now advancing toward completion. We understand that the machinery which the company first obtained, in the East or Europe, failed to give satisfaction, and it was found necessary to replace it with something more complete. Hence the contract which is now being filled here. Captain Eads, the success of whose jetty system at the mouth of the Mississippi is now generally conceded, proposes a plan by which the channel of the same river from Cairo to the Gulf shall be kept at a minimum depth of twenty-five feet during the entire year. His scheme is to simply make the river of uniform width from Cairo to the mouth of the Red river. At present the stream varies from 8200 to 7000 feet in width. At the narrow places the current is swift and the channel is sleep, but where the river spreads out into a broad lagoon the slackens and the sediment is deposited in bars and shoals. Captain Eads proposes to run jetties along the wide portions of the river making a channel 3000 feet wide, and the stream thus restricted will, by the action of the current, keep the channel deep and clear. This plan, Captain Eads thinks, would save the erection of new levees which will cost $40,000,000. A late dispatch from Havana says: While there appears to be no indications of a unity of purpose among the so-called Spanish party, there are indications among individuals that they would gladly make peace with the insurgents upon almost any terms, but for the Spanish pride. As negotiations must surely result to the disadvantage of the Spaniards, the insurgents are not aware to negotiating peace, providing autonomy, with a sufficient foreign guarantee, be conceded. Sensible Cubans and some Spaniards say that they know the dangers surrounding entire independence, and would prefer annexation to the United States. When Martinez Campos arrived, eight months ago, with 30,000 men, the pacification of the island was again promised at the end of the winter-campaign, but the results show that the advantages gained were overbalanced by the disadvantages. The state of the island is not better than last year at the same season, and the insurrection is as strong as ever. The only visible advantage gained during the whole winter campaign was the useless burning of plant with which the honey found a sale, introduced and fostered slowly and insufficient methods of preparing and introducing it to the market, which, as the supply has increased, has worked great injury to its reputation and sale. In the older States every business which assumes any magnitude is protected and fostered by a system of united action among those directly interested in it. Such a system is now becoming essentially necessary among the bee keepers, and we are glad to see that efforts are being made to effect associations with a view of combining and utilizing the information acquired by experiment and by united action regulate the disposal of therapeutically increasing crops. It seems to us that many profitable improvements can be made in the manner of putting the honey upon the market. It is custom now as it was with the sheep man in early years. Each one packs his crop in whatever is handiest without regard to appearance and convenience of handling, ships it to one merchant or another, and takes his chances for a good sale. Dark honey and light, good bad and indifferent is thrown together, packed in boxes, barrels, kegs, old coal oil cans or any other available package, and shipped to San Francisco, and the owner thereof is surprised and provoked that his honey will not bring the market rates. The practice of shipping honey in five gallon coal oil cans, which is so prevalent among the apiarists of this section, is not a good one for many reasons. The can in the first place is not an easy package to handle and in most cases is hardly strong enough to bear the pressure of the honey. But the most serious objection is that it does not make a presentable appearance in the market. Few housekeepers care to purchase so large a quantity of the article at once, and sweets as a general thing lose their attraction when presented in large quantities. From conversation with merchants who deal in honey we are satisfied that a much larger demand could be created if the honey was put up in smaller packages. Cans holding from one to five pounds, securely sealed and tastily labeled, would find a readier sale. These cans, when packed in cases like other canned goods can be readily handled, and command themselves more to the eyes of customers. The purchasers from retail stores are a hundred times more liable to buy a can of nice, clean white sage honey, tastefully presented to them on the shelves of the stores, than they are to procure their own package and go and ask for it, and have it measured out to them from a dingy looking coal oil can, which carries with it its remembrance of the nauseating odors of kerosene. This is a point to which we think the bee-keepers' associations in this section can with profit give a little attention. Another point, which we think would secure success, is a combined effort to control the shipment and sale of their products among themselves. If the apiarists of this immediate section would establish at Anaheim, which is their most convenient locality, a grading and packing establishment under the care of an experienced man also in accomplishing local compared with the booth many tribes on earth; they were exceedingly handsome ligence was quite spiritual. He was informed—he did that these people were enclosed ceremony. The quarrels among the English Established Church The ritualists still declare their ground, and the Lover for a rigid prosecution of devote themselves to vengeance other things which are safe Rome. Two Episcopal seceded and joined the Church A negro preacher had theory of the Exodus, to Sea got frozen over and ravelites a safe passage; he with his heavy iron charm they broke through and brother rose and asked that point, "I see been said and the geography says country—where de tropics too hot for free be explained," "bout bicee." The preacher strangled said, "Bradder, glad you! It give me 'casion to speak' that was great while 'good day had any' geography—tropics." Nothing so thoroughly piled has learned that a collection his church on Sunday most consequently been unable count of a severe pain in tend the evening service as man announce that "as man give were not present at this time, it will now be repealed. An Advent preacher in Harris, shaved his head so venerable aspect that balde trick was detected by merger, and he was expelled deception. He urged that head was no more an offender hair, to trim the beard, or to improve one's personal there was a majority vote. The Bible production in more than a million copies more than nineteen thousand thousand an hour, or five working time. At this rate ducing an English Bible every twelve seconds. The wasted—they are required of the Sacred Scriptures and English tongue than in other nations of the world number of versions to give encouragement and above, is considerable hundred and fifty. It is something startling Cubans and some Spaniards say that they know the dangers surrounding entire independence, and would prefer annexation to the United States. When Martinez Campos arrived, eight months ago, with 30,000 men, the pacification of the island was again promised at the end of the winter-campaign, but the results show that the advantages gained were overbalanced by the disadvantages. The state of the island is not better than last year at the same season, and the insurrection is as strong as ever. The only visible advantage gained during the whole winter campaign was the useless burning of plantations. The treasury of the island is exhausted, and the daily publication of the situation of the treasury has been suspended. Last year at this date gold stood 315. It now stands at 237. Very few Cubans have taken advantage of the amnesty degree. They have no confidence in it. The state of affairs in the island is languid, prostrate and disheartening. In regard to the selling of grain the Solano Republican has the following very sensible article: "The question naturally arises with every careful, practical farmer, will he hold his grain for a fictitious price, or will he be satisfied with a handsome profit on his investment? This is a question which comes home to every farmer. There are some who would hold on for a higher figure if the market opened out at four cents. Occasionally a farmer makes a big thing by refusing to sell his crop at a fair price—a price which will abundantly remunerate him, but in a great majority of cases he makes nothing by the delay, and more frequently sustains loss. We hold that it is not the province of the farmer—it is not legitimate farming business—for him to hold his produce after a legitimate price is offered, and turn speculator. When he does so he is no better than a gambling speculator, and he is not justified in taking these hazards. A farmer should set a price upon his produce, sufficient to pay him for his labor, and if the market opens with that price he should certainly sell, regardless of the extravagant rumors which assure him that it will reach a fabulous figure. He has no business, if he is a legitimate farmer, and is wholly dependent upon his farm for a livelihood, to step beyond his depth in the speculative field." "Say, stranger, what do they raise out there? 'Raise h—l,' was the Black Hiller's reply, as he turned toward the nearest saloon. A gold nugget weighing a pound and three-quarters is reported as having been found last week in a tunnel claim near Mokelume Hill, which has been abandoned and unworked for several years." WEEKLY EIM GAZ ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1877. Sunday Morning Chit-Chat. The Christian Advocate is severe on some of its brethren. It says: Last week a show bill was received at this office advertising for the benefit of a Protestant Church in Oakland a "Terpsichorean and Dramatic" festival. There were "two plays" besides the eating, drinking and dancing! It occurs to us that a cirens, with a first-class clown and the usual "ground and lofty tumbling," would be equally pious and consistent, and possibly more lucrative—all for the promotion of the Redeemer's kingdom! Andrew Jackson Davis says that, on January 15, 1877, he had "a telescopic clairvoyant view" of the planet Jupiter, and was able to observe the inhabitants. He adds: "My attention was suddenly attracted to a massive assemblage of men, women and children, walking about beneath a bright sky, and performing peculiar acts, the majority of the host walking in an inclined position, and very many of them actually using their hands also in accomplishing locomotion. And yet compared with the bodily appearance of many tribes on earth, their physical forms were exceedingly handsome, and their intelligence was quite spiritual and commanding." He was informed—he does not tell how—that these people were engaged in a religious ceremony. The quarrels among the clergymen of the English Established Church still continue. The ritualists still declare that they will hold their ground, and the Low Church party call for a rigid prosecution of the persons who rier de Canada: "It is rumored that a Protestant minister of Montreal has been indicted by his Bishop for having established the confessional in his congregation, the minister having declared to the Synod, before which he was consured, that the confessional was the only means of saving society." At a recent meeting of the General Synod of the Reformed Church of America, held in New York, a clergyman said: "I have received a telegram that God has given my wife a boy baby, and in honor of the event I subscribe $10 to the foreign mission cause." The President said that the Foreign Mission Board was $33,000 in debt, and that subscriptions were in order. Another clergyman said: "If pledging money for relatives is in order, I subscribe $50 for my son," Another added: "I give $50 for my wife." Still another gave a liberal sum on behalf of his mother-in-law. This episode made all the members of the General Synod good natured, and as a result $5,000 was subscribed. According to the investigation of M. Radau, a French authority, about the "science and manufacture of beer," the quantity of that article annually brewed by all the beer making countries is 2,354,000,000 gallons, divided as follows, viz.: England 880,000,090; Germany 660,000,000; Austria 261,000,000; North America 212,000,000; France and Belgium 154,000,000 gallons each. The enormous proportions of this one interest alone—affording employment to millions upon millions of capital, and furnishing honorable support to hundreds of thousands of people in all portions of the globe—should warm temperance extremists of the colossal task they have undertaken, while common justice should indict them to the precincts into the yawning depth below. Heroism of Montenegrin Women. Montenegrin women have the same passionate attachment with the men to family and country, and display much of the same valor. Goptchevitch supplies two most remarkable examples. A sister and four brothers, the four of course well armed, are making a pilgrimage or excursion to a church. The state of war with the Turk being normal, we need not wonder when we learn that they are attacked unawares on the way, in a pass where they proceed in single file, by seven armed Turks, who announce themselves by shooting dead the first of the brothers and dangerously wounding the second. The odds are fearful, but the light proceeds. The wounded man leans against the rock, and though he receives another and fatal shot, kills two of the Turks before he dies. The sister presses forward and grasps his rifle and his dagger. At last all are killed on both sides, excepting herself and a single Turk. She sacks for mercy, and he promises it, but names her maidenly honor as the price. Indignant, and perceiving that now he is off his guard, she stabs him with a dagger. He tears it from her hand, they close, and she dashes the wretch over the precipices into the yawning depth below. The second anecdote is not less singular. Tidings reach a Montenegrin wife that her husband has just been slain by a party under the command of a certain Aga. Knowing the road by which they are travelling, she seizes a rifle, chooses her position, and shoots the Aga dead. The rest of the party take to flight. The wife of the dead Aga sends her an epistle: "Thou hast robbed me of both my eyes. Thou art a genuine daughter of Tsernagora. Come to-morrow alone to the border line, and we will prove by trial which of us was the better wife." The Tsernagorine appeared with the arms of the dead Aga, and alone, as she was invited. But the Turkish woman had thought prudence the better part of valor, and brought an armed champion with her who chased her or horribly... The quarrels among the clergymen of the English Established Church still continue. The ritualists still declare that they will hold their ground, and the Low Church party call for a rigid prosecution of the parsons who devote themselves to vestments, mecense and other things which are supposed to smell of Rome. Two Episcopal clergymen have seceded and joined the Church of Rome. A negro preacher had elaborated a new theory of the Exodus, to wit: that the Red Sea got frozen over and so afforded the Israelites a safe passage; but when Pharoah, with his heavy iron chariots, attempted it, they broke through and were drowned. A brother rose and asked for an explanation on that point, "I see been studyin' geography, and the geography says dat be very warm country—where dey have the tropics." And de tropics too hot for freozin'. De pint to be explained in "bout breakin' through deice." The preacher straightened up and said, "Brudder, glad you axed dat question. It give me casion to splain it. You see, that was great while go-in de ole times to day had any geography—fo' dere was any tropics." Nothing so thoroughly pleases a man who has learned that a collection is to be taken in his church on Sunday morning, and who has consequently been unable to attend on account of a severe pain in his back, as to attend the evening service and hear the clergyman announce that "as many who desired to give were not present at the morning collection, it will now be repeated." An Advent preacher in Missouri, named Harris, shaved his head so as to acquire the venerable aspect that baldness imparts. The trick was detected by members of his congregation, and he was expelled on a charge of deception. He urged that to shave the head was no more an offense than to cut the hair, to trim the beard, or in any other way to improve one's personal appearance; but there was a majority vote against him. The Bible production in our time is equal to more than a million copies a year, or say, more than nineteen thousand every week, more than three thousand every day, three thousand an hour, or five every minute of working time. At this rate the press is producing an English Bible or New Testament every twelve seconds. Those Bibles are not wasted—they are required—and more copies of the Sacred Scriptures are demanded in the English tongue than in the languages of all other nations of the world, although the number of versions to which this country gives encouragement and assistance, over and above, is considerably more than one hundred and fifty. It is something startling to learn that the second antecedent is not less singular. Tidings reach a Montenegrin wife that her husband has just been slain by a party under the command of a certain Aga. Knowing the road by which they are travelling, she sees a rifle, chooses her position, and shoots the Aga dead. The rest of the party take to flight. The wife of the dead Aga sends her an epistle. Thou art a genuine daughter of Tsernagora. Come to-morrow alone to the border line, and we will prove by trial which of us was the better wife." The Tsernagorie appeared with the arms of the dead Aga, and alone, as she was invited. But the Turkish woman had thought prudence the better part of valor; and brought an armed champion with her, who charged her on horseback. She shot him dead as he advanced, and seizing her faithless antagonist, bound her and took her home, kept her as a nurse maid for fourteen years, and then let her go back to her place and people. How a Chicago Girl Fixed Him. "Will you do something to oblige me?" shyly asked a beautiful young woman of a timid gentleman whose acquaintance she had just made at a small social gathering on West Adams street the other evening. "Anything that I can in honor, miss," he replied, blushing. "Well," said she, "come into the back parlor, where it is dark, and sit on the sofa with me, and let me rest my head on your shoulder, and you pretend to whisper in my ear—only don't blow, because that tickles and I can't laugh, for this new dress is very tight—and when anybody looks you can draw your arm away—I forgot to say I wanted you to put it round my waist—and I'll pretend to blush." "But my gracious, honored miss," stamored the young man, after hastily dividing 4 into 1874 and finding that it wasn't leap year; "my goodness, before all these people—and I am already engaged—and your father must weigh——" "Hush, I know what I am up to," replied the artless girl. "I am engaged, too, to that young man talking to the waxenfaced thing with somebody else's hair over there. I want to stir him up—to bring him down to business—make him come up to his milk, that's all." The young man said that a load had been lifted from his bosom, and aided her to the best of his ability, so well indeed, that in three quarters of an hour the true betrothed got his girl into the library; demanded an explanation of her shameless conduct; was softened by her tears; called himself a brute, asked if she could ever forgive him; and promise to behave better in future. And how did the young girl reward the young man who had helped her to this happiness? Why, she never said a word to him all the evening, in fact never mentioned him except to say to her reconciled lover; "Alonzo, could you have been so stupid as to think I could see anything to admire in such a mutton-headed claim as that?" O, woman, in our hours of case! An Oriental Esculapius. The following anecdote is told by Mr. Oscanyan in his book, "The Sultan and his People," of a Turkish physician whose prescriptions and mode of treatment are original and curious: A person exceedingly ill of typhus fever called in one of those medical gentlemen, who, although he considered the ease hopeful, prescribed for his patient and took his leave. The next day, in passing by, he inquired of a servant if his master was not dead. "Dead! no, he is much better." Whereupon the doctor proceeded up stairs to obtain the solution of this miracle. "Why," said the It is something startling to learn that the churches in New York city are mortgaged for about two and a half million dollars. How does this tally with the spiritual injunction, "Owe no man anything but to love one another." Little May had been on a visit to some of her mother's friends in Canada, and while there had heard the Sunday School hymn so well known, "Come to Jesus," He will wash you white as snow," etc. After her arrival at home, not feeling in a very playful mood, she seated herself on her little rocking chair and began singing, "Come to Jesus"—which seemed to be all she could remember of the hymn. After repeating the words several times she was asked by her auntie, "May, where is Jesus?" May answered, "Over in Tanaday." "Well, what does he do?" "He works," said May. "Works at what?" To which, after some hesitation, the little one replied. "He washes." Whitefield often affirmed that he would rather have a church with ten men in it right with God than one with five hundred, at whom the world laughs in its sleeves. Not long ago I heard a church member who had failed four times, and paid only ten cents on the dollar, and who had three times assigned his property to relatives in an infamous manner. He was making a speech in a summer evening devotional gathering; the shutters of the basement of the church were open, and the quick, sharp boys of the Common were within hearing. This religious man was saying: "I am of the opinion that our congregation should all alone maintain a missionary on some foreign shore. For such a purpose I will myself give him hundred dollars." "Ten cents on the dollar," said a boy outside. Boston paper. A queer statement is this from the Courthouse. The San Diego Union of the 19th published a review of the prospects of the honey crop. Reliable information from all parts of the county and the honey-producing sections of adjoining counties warrants the belief that the honey crop of 1877 will be nearly a total failure. In San Diego County, which last year produced 1,227,155 pounds, we shall not suffer as much as neighboring counties, but the extreme dryness of the Winter, the cold late Spring, and finally the recent extraordinary heated term, have nearly destroyed bee food everywhere. In the range extending from the coast back to the Cucamonga mountains, from San Luis Rey river, bees have to be fed. Many apiarists have lost largely. In the mountain ranges, where there has been food and Winter rains, the bees will make a small amount of surplus honey. Other ranges will, at best, support themselves. Spring flowers and wild sage are a total failure. The sumac and greasewood, now coming into bloom, are the only dependence to carry the bees through the season. As above stated, the situation in other counties is worse than there, and altogether it may be safely predicted that the honey surplus of the present year will be hardly sufficient to supply the San Francisco market. Eureka Sentinel: They have some queer girls over about Ward. One of them, who resides in Steptoe Valley, had been receiving the attentions of a young man for about a year, but becoming impatient at his failure to bring matters to a crisis, she resolved to ascertain his intentions. When he next called she took him gently by the ear, led him to a seat and said: "Nobby, you've ben foolin' round this claim for mighty near a year, an hev never yet shot off yer mouth on the marrying his. I've cottoned to yer on the square clean through, an' hev stood off every other galbot that has tried to chin in, and now I want yer to come down to business or leave the ranch. Ef yer off the marry an' want a pard that I stick rite to ye, pass in yer checks; but if that sint your game, draw out and give some other fellow a show for his pile. Now sing yer song or skip out." He sang. An Oriental Esculapius. "The following anecdote is told by Mr. Oscanyan in his book, 'The Sultan and his People,' of a Turkish physician whose prescriptions and mode of treatment are original and curious: A person exceedingly ill of typhus fever called in one of these medical gentlemen, who, although he considered the ease hopeless, prescribed for his patient and took his leave. The next day, in passing by, he inquired of a servant if his master was not dead. Dead! no, he is much better." Whereupon the doctor proceeded up stairs to obtain the solution of this miracle. "Why," said the convalescent, "I was consumed with thirst, and I drank a pailful of the juice of pickled cabbage." "Wonderful!" quoth the doctor. And out came the tablets, on which the physician made this inscription: "Cured of typhus fever, Mehemed Agha, an upholsterer, by drinking a painful of pickled cabbage juice." Soon after, the doctor was called to another patient, a vaghlikgee, or dealer in embroidered hanukkichereis, suffering from the same malady. He forthwith prescribed "a painful of pickled cabbage juice." On calling the next day to congratulate his patient on his recovery, he was astonished to be told the man was dead. The Oriental Esculapius, in his bewilderdment at this phenomena, came to the safe conclusion, and duly noted down in his memoranda that "although in cases of typhus fever pickled cabbage juice is an efficient remedy, it is not however, to be used unless the patient be by profession an upholsterer." New Patents. Through Dewey & Co., San Francisco, we receive the following list of U.S. patents granted to Pacific Coast inventors, viz.: C. Groth, S. F., tool handle; W. H. Long and A.

Dr. Henry T. Hembold has published under the title of "Am I a Lanatic?" an interesting account of his experiences in and out of the saylums for lunatics. Trouble over Land Titles. An affray occurred in Valle de las Viejas, San Diego county, on Saturday, growing out of a disputed title to land, in which one of the parties is reported to have lost his life. The news was brought to the San Diego Union by a young man named Tyler. His story, as published in Sunday's Union, is in effect as follows: Tim Royal Barton has been cutting grain on a piece of land claimed by Tannahill and Barton; that Tannahill determined to go down and haul away what grain was left, and that about 9 o'clock yesterday morning he and Tyler started with their team to take it; that as they approached the field they saw Barton standing guard with a rifle; that Tannahill cried out "don't shoot!" and told Tyler to drive on; that Barton then fired, the ball passing between Tyler and Tannahill; that Tannahill then jumped out of the wagon and ran toward Barton, who retreated, reloading his gun as he ran; that Tannahill overtook him, but just as he came within reach his foot slipped and he fell over a pile of hay, upon which Barton struck him over the head with the rille two or three times; that Tyler then ran up with the pitchfork, and Barton ran off to his place, mounted a horse and rode into the hills; that he (Tyler) then went to Tannahill and found that he was dead; Tyler at once mounted a horse and rode into town with the intelligence. About three o'clock in the afternoon Royal Barton arrived in town and proceeded to the Sheriff's office, whom he delivered himself into custody. A reporter of the Union visited him, but he very properly declined to enter into any statement of the case pending an examination. He said, however, that the story of Tyler was untrue in every material particular, and was confident that he would establish by the evidence of witnesses the affray that he had acted wholly in self defense. It is the opinion of Master Connie Brown has opened at Martinez a night school for Chinese. Eight servants of families there are learning the rudiments of English. Santa Rosa Times: The road debt of Sonoma county is $20,000. One would think there ought to be a good road or two in the county; but there isn't. Governor Blue Jenna Williams has just appeared with great effect at an Indiana logrolling. Several thousand spectators watched him as he hurled the logs about and shouted to his oxen. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes says he likes lawyers so well that he never likes to trouble them with litigation which gives them anxiety and keeps them awake nights. Precious hinnocent. Michigan girls use dry corn husks to fill out their buckles, and the young men, until they learned what the material was, were upset with wonder by the mysterious rustling that they heard whenever one of the fair creatures stirred. The Healdsburg Flag states that 150,000 pounds of wool were sold at Cloverdale to a San Francisco dealer, last Tuesday, for 27 cents per pound. There were a good many dealers present, and much competition. Artificial flowers called barometers are now seen in many Parisian shops. They are colored with a material composed of chloride of cobalt. When exposed to sun and dry air the leaves become deep blue; when the air is moist they turn pinky. A hotel chambermaid at Oswego found a room door unlocked on cirens day, and after securing it, warned the guest that there was a lot of rough showmen in town, and he had better be careful of his property. The careless guest was Barmun himself, and he admitted that they were a rough lot. Anna Dickinson began her career as trance speaker and writer, "under the influence of Col. E. D. Baker."

The careless guest was Barmun himself, and he admitted that they were a rough lot. Anna Dickinson began her career as trance speaker and writer, "under the influence of Col. E. D. Baker." Afterward her canny mother perceived that Annie's gift of obsession could be made to pay, and induced her not only to abandon the Spiritualists, but to deny that she had ever associated with them. Sacramento Tree: Director Limlerman, of the United States Mint, is reported as recommending the coining of two-dollar gold pieces. Or what benefit to trade would a two-dollar piece be, anyhow? Not the slightest. It would not work in with our other coins. There is no place for it. Like the three-dollar gold piece and the silver twenty-cent piece, it would only be a cause of confusion, wormment and trouble to the community. It would be a regular nuisance. The Johannisbrod, a black bread used so largely by the Russian army for food, is made with a quantity of some kind of grease, which becomes a substitute for butter. It can be eaten dry, but the Russian soldier prefers, when he can get it, to break the bread into small pieces. These he put on a bowl and pours hot water over them. The grease then develops into a gravy, and the whole forms a simple kind of soup. Miss Kate Claxton is represented as having assured a World correspondent that after her agent had engaged the Indianapolis Opera House, the owner of the building had the insurance unit doubled. This is perhaps not so low in the scale of superstition as the plantation darkey's practice of sleeping with a horseshoe about his neck; but it doesn't help those any who take the negative of the question, "Is our civilization a failure?" Toronto Globe: A application of the Peterboro Band to be allowed to play in the park has been rejected, the reason given for for the refusal being that the newly-planted trees would suffer from the carelessness of persons congregated. The end of the Warden's answer is very ironical. It reads thus: "I beg to suggest that the old burying-ground would be a suitable place for your performances, and the county will have no objection to your using it." Recently, Mr. Jackson Kirkssey, who keeps a mill near Bater, Penn., was standing in the door of the mill-house, when he saw a large beaver on the bank of the Patsalaga Creek. He seized a pole, and ran between the creek and the water, expecting the beaver to make for the water. To his astonishment the beaver turned fiercely at him, when a regular fight for life ensued. Mr. Kirkssey broke his pole into three pieces during the fight, but finally killed the beaver, which was a very large one, weighing fifty pounds. The liquor manufactured by the Carthusian monks in the Department of Icare, France, has obtained a world-wide reputation. The manufacture of it is a secret known only to the head of the monastery, the receipt being kept sealed under a stone in the great altar. The death of the chief has rendered it necessary to break the seal, which is done with great pomp. The sale of chartuse is immense, and nearly a hundred thousand dollars of the profit is annually sent to the Pope. It is three centuries since the manufacture was commenced by these A Boston parent objects to having his boy whipped in school on the ground that he was sent to school to have his intelligence cultivated, and the best authorities agreed that the seat of a boy's intellect is not covered by the seat of his trowers. The Board filed his protest for future consideration. Little Johnnie Smith, of Healdaburg, found an empty whisky barrel on the sidewalk, and thought it would be fun to point his toy pistol into the bunghole and snap a percussion cap. Gas had generated in the barrel, and a young earthquake resulted. Sticking plaster made Johnnie all right. George Francis Train lectured in Rochester recently and declared that there would be 3,000,000 people in heaven, and all the rest in the other place. With the majority were Byron and Franklin, "and I want to be able to grasp their extended hands," he said, "if I have to go to hell to do it—and by the way, all those in favor of going to hell with me say 'aye.'" The audience, forgetting the sentiment, perhaps, but wishing to encourage Train, all shouted "Aye." together. It really seems easy enough for skillful exhorters to get recruits for either place. The New York Herald's London letter: Much amusement has been created here by the letter of Lord Eglinton, whose ancestors were the patrons and friends of the great Scotch poet, Robert Burns, declining to subscribe to the Burns' monument at Kilmarnock because he disliked both the poems and character of the Bard of Ayr. Commenting on this, Truth says, with becoming severity, that Lord Eglinton has passed his life in hunting and third-rate racing, and can have no more appreciation of a genius like Burns, than a grunting hog would have of the beauties of an oak under whose shade he crams himself with acorns. Philadelphia Bulletin: A man in Wisconsin has applied for a divorce on the ground that his wife married him under false pretences. He says she told him while he was addressing her that she could hoe an acre of potatoes and split two cords of wood between breakfast and dinner; and she had proved herself a fearful fraud, because she could only split a half a cord and hoe three times across the field. It seems hard that men are continually to be made the victims of these designing women. Why will wives trifle in this manner with the tenderest affection of their husbands? How much happier would have been the home of this Wisconsin woman had she emulated the example of the Shoshone squaw! One of them goes out and digs turnips all day, and then wheels them home at night in a push cart, while her self-sacrificing husband, in the depth of his unspeakable love, sits on the front door-step smoking Lone Jack tobacco, and medicating upon the quantity of pyrotechnical runs he can put in his jug with the money he gets when he sells that squaw.

Here's a hint to those whose angellie better halves are blessed with nimble tongues. A girl in New York was seized recently with a severe attack of lock jaw. She made frantic efforts to talk but for a whole hour there was a dead look of lionnacity. The family physician pronounced it a clear case of too much chewing-gum. The article is very cheap,and it is so behold at all drug stores and confectionaries. When you see signs of a curtain lecture or breakfast discourse,hurry and gum your wife up.
