A full line of Hardware, Groceries, PAINTS AND OILS CROCKERY & LAMPS THE VITICULTURAL BILL. The following bill, with the amendments hereafter noted, has become a law. It was introduced and championed by Mr. Crank, Assemblyman from this county: An Act to Define and Enlarge Certain Duties and Powers of the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners. The People of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: SECTION 1. The Board of State Viticultural Commissioners, in addition to the duties and powers provided for by the Act entitled "An Act for the promotion of the viticultural industries of the State," approved April fifteenth, eighteen hundred and eighty, shall, in respect to diseases of grapevines and vine pests, constitute a Board of Health. It shall, in addition to laboratory work, cause practical experiments to be made to determine or demonstrate the utility of known and new remedies against such diseases and pests. SEC. 2. The Board shall elect of their own number, or appoint from without their own number, a competent person to serve as Chief Executive Viticultural Officer, who shall perform also the duties of Viticultural Health Officer, under direction of the said Board, and subject to removal from such office at any time by the Board. SEC. 3. The Viticultural Health Officer shall have power, subject to the approval of the Board, to prevent the spread of vine diseases and vine pests, by declaring and enforcing rules and regulations in the nature of quarantine, to govern the manner of, restrain, or prohibit the importation into the duties, or are unreasonably distasteful to the vine growers and grape dealers. SEC. 5. It shall be also the duty of the Chief Executive Viticultural Officer to personally visit, examine, and report upon the several viticultural regions of the State; to prepare documents for publication, as required by the Board, relating to any and all branches of viticultural industry, including treatises for the information of the public; to supervise the preparation of reports for publication, and especially report upon the practicability and means of eradicating diseases from vineyards, and to superintend experiments with known and new remedies. SEC. 6. All printing heretofore ordered by the Board shall be paid for out of the appropriations heretofore made for its use; all printing required hereafter shall be done by the State Printer. SEC. 7. The salary of the Chief Executive Viticultural Officer shall be fixed by the Board, not to exceed two hundred and fifty dollars per month, for services while engaged as such officer, and his actual traveling expenses shall be allowed, not to exceed five hundred dollars per annum. SEC. 8. There is hereby appropriated for the uses of the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners, as set forth in this Act, and in the Act providing for its organization, out of any moneys in the State treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of ten thousand dollars for the year commencing July first, eighteen hundred and eighty-one, and ten thousand dollars for a year commencing July first, eighteen hundred and eighty-two; and the State Controller will draw his warrants upon the State Treasurer in favor of the Treasurer of the said Board, for the said sums, or any part MACHINERY, Hardware, Groceries, PAINTS AND OILS CROCKERY & LAMPS Always on hand.

SEC. 3. The Viticultural Health Officer shall have power, subject to the approval of the Board, to prevent the spread of vine diseases and vine pests, by declaring and enforcing rules and regulations in the nature of quarantine, to govern the manner of, restrain, or prohibit the importation into the State, and the distribution and disposal within the State, of all suspected vines, vine cuttings, debris of vineyards, empty fruit boxes, or other materials on or by which the contagion of vine diseases and germs of vine pests may be introduced into the State, or transported from place to place within the State; to declare and enforce regulations approved by the Board for the disinfection of vines, vine cuttings, vineyard debris, empty fruit boxes, and other suspected material dangerous to vineyards, while in transit, or about to be distributed, or transported into, or within the State; to classify the vineyards and viticultural regions of the State, according to the degree of health, or vine disease prevailing therein, and to change the same as circumstances may require to be done, subjecting each class to such varying rules and regulations, respecting the introduction, or transportation of suspected vines, vine cuttings, and other material liable to spread contagion of disease among vines, as may in the opinion of the Board become necessary and expedient for the preservation of vineyards. Such rules and regulations shall be circulated in printed form by the Board among the vine growers and fruit dealers of the State, shall be published at least thirty days in two daily newspapers of general circulation in the State, not of the same city or county, and shall be posted in a conspicuous place at the county seat of each county affected by their provisions. SEC. 4. The Viticultural Health Officer may appoint local resident inspectors in any and all of the viticultural regions of the State, whose duties shall be to report to him concerning the health of grape vines, the progress of vine diseases and pests, and all violations of the rules and regulations of the Board; to certify to the proper disinfection of vines, vine cuttings, empty fruit boxes, and other transportable articles required by the Board to be disinfected before transportation, or while in transit, or after delivery at any point of destination, the methods of disinfection to be determined and approved by the Health Officer and the Board; to seize upon and destroy all suspected vines, vine cuttings, debris of vineyards, empty fruit boxes, and other material liable to spread contagion, which may be found on transit or delivered after transportation, not certified to as required by the Board; provided that the same may be exempt from such destruction if the cost of disinfection by such inspector shall be provided for by the owner SEC. 8. There is hereby appropriated for the uses of the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners, as set forth in this Act, and in the Act providing for its organization, out of any moneys in the State treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of ten thousand dollars for the year commencing July first, eighteen hundred and eighty-one, and ten thousand dollars for a year commencing July first, eighteen hundred and eighty-two; and the State Controller will draw his warrants upon the State Treasurer in favor of the Treasurer of the said Board, for the said sums, or any part thereof, when they become available, upon proper demand being made for the same by said Board. SEC. 9. This Act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The amendments to the above bill are thus noted in a despatch from Sacramento: The Viticultural bill as amended in the Senate has its provisions extended to horticulture, contains a proviso that no claim shall be paid out of the' appropriation until it shall have been approved by the Senate. The salary of the chief viticultural officer has been reduced from $250 to $150 a month, and the Board of Viticultural Commissioners are to appoint a chief horticultural office with like powers and salary as the chief viticultural officer, to enforce quarantine rules and regulations for the protection of fruit and fruit trees from the spread of insect pests. The bill as amended was passed by the Senate to-day and sent to the Assembly, which concurred in all changes. Antidotes for Scale Bugs. At the last meeting of the San Jose Horticultural Society, a committee that had been previously appointed for the purpose of investigating and reporting on remedies for the scale insects that infest the orchards in that section, made their report. They state that crude petroleum kills the insects without any apparent effect, neither good or bad, to the tree. That potash lye will kill the insects also; and the committee thinks that the lye has a beneficial effect on the tree. They recommend the application of both substances in the winter, when trees have no leaves on them. It was shown that the scale insect, which has been so destructive to the apple trees in Santa Clara valley, will live and thrive on cherry trees as well as on apple trees, and, of course, will prove as injurious to the cherry as to the apple. A member of the Society was of the opinion that petroleum not only destroyed the scale, but was of decided advantage to the tree in giving it general vigor and good health. He stated that the oil killed the scale, and at the same time loosened it so that the rain washed it from the tree, leaving the bark smooth and healthy. This discovery is of great practical value, as the San Jose scale was being spread over the State quite rapidly by nursery stock and orchard trees sold by the San Jose nurseries. It is a nity that the discovery PRODUCE SOLELY ON COMMISSION. Returns Promptly and Accurately Rendered ...HEADQUARTERS FOR... CALIFORNIA RAISINS, NUTS Green and Dried Fruits.

All vines, or other articles absolutely prohibited of importation or transportation, may be promptly destroyed by any inspector discovering the same transported, or in transit, in violation of regulations, and the cost of such seizure, together with a fee of ten dollars, shall be paid to such inspector out of any fine that may be collected from the party or parties guilty of such violation. Willful violation of the quarantine regulations of the Board shall be considered a misdemeanor, and punishable by a fine of not less than twenty-five nor more than one hundred dollars. Whenever required for the convenience of vine growers, or fruit dealers, a resident inspector shall be appointed upon the petition of any three neighboring vine growers, or dealers in grapes, to reside in their vicinity if not already provided for, and there shall be not less than two inspectors appointed for each county which is subjected to such quarantine regulations, and they shall each be subject to removal at the will of the Vitisultural Health Officer, if incompetent, or if they fail to perform their trees, and, of course, will prove as injurious to the cherry as to the apple. A member of the Society was of the opinion that petroleum not only destroyed the scale, but was of decided advantage to the tree in giving it general vigor and good health. He stated that the oil killed the scale, and at the same time loosened it so that the rain washed it from the tree, leaving the bark smooth and healthy. This discovery is of great practical value, as the San Jose scale was being spread over the State quite rapidly by nursery stock and orchard trees sold by the San Jose nurseries. It is a pity that the discovery had not been made before so much injury had been done to the orchards of Santa Clara county. The above facts should furnish a hint to all whose shrubbery, such as rose bushes, is affected with insects of any kind. The oil or the lye can be applied with a common garden pump or large syringe, throwing the solution over all parts of the tree, stem and branches. Some time ago Edward Hanlan and Wallace Ross offered to row any two men in the world in double sculls for $2,500 a side, in a turning race of from three to five miles. The challenge was printed in the London Sportsman over a month ago. Ross is a well-known Canadian oarsman, who defeated Hanlan last summer at Providence, when Hanlan was sick, but who failed to do anything more than win a trial heat in the late professional regatta on the Thames. Although Hanlan's last victory over Laycock in singles has made him the undoubted champion of the professional rowing world, the possibilities of a double-scull match have induced John A. Kennedy and M. P. Davis, both well-known professionals of Portland, Me., to accept the challenge. The race is to be for $3,000 a side, in American waters, and Davis has deposited $1,000 in Boston. The negotiations will be completed on Hanlan's arrival in this country. A citizen of Richmond, Va., being asked how his town had flourished since the fall of the Southern Confederacy, replied: "Oh, excellently well; we live on red herrings and glorious recollections!"

Col. A. P. Chamberlain, an English engineer, has invented a new process of lighting. It is called the atmospheric light, and is produced by a process somewhat like that of making coal gas. The process has been introduced into the engineering and boiler-making works of a Glasgow firm. A furnace has been erected within a small shed, and outside the shed is a gasholder. The furnace contains three retorts, and these are supplied with a combination of mineral oil, water and air, which enter through a small pipe carried from the back to the front of the retort, and the gas finds an exit through a large pipe at the back of the retort. The vapor is conducted to the purifier. Thence it is carried into the gasholder, and then led through the old pipes in the works to the various machines and beaches in the shop, supplying about 200 burners. The gas is said to give a whiter and more pure light than coal gas, or something between coal gas and the electric light. The odor is not offensive, and it is stated to be freer from deleterious effects on pictures and paper than coal gas. The chief advantages claimed are simplicity of application to public works, country churches, schools, and mansions. The cost is said to be less than half that of coal gas. The utility of the new gas, however, is still a matter of some speculation, it requiring more extensive experiments to determine it. At Jersey City, New Jersey, a new fuel manufactured from steam and petroleum has been tested, with alleged success. The present cost of coaling a locomotive from New York to Philadelphia is twenty-five dollars, and it is said that, by using the new fuel, a train can be run between the points named Bulldozing a Voter. Old Uncle Mose, of Galveston, was not noticed near the polls on election day, consequently a colored striker was sent to hear him up. He was found sitting by the fire, groaning dismally, ir his cabin. "Uncle Mose, has yer voted yit?" asked the colored rounder. "No, chile, I wouldn't risk ketchin' cold in my lungs foah all de money in the world." "Here's a dollar to pay for your time." The old man secured the subsidy, remarking: "If you is comin' de bulldoze on dis old niggar he weakens. Hev you foched a kerridge for me." "Hit's waiting at the doah, Uncle Mose." "Is yer gwine to bring me back after Iee voted?" "Bring you right back, Uncle Mose; hurry up, now." "Gimme a dram foah I start?" "Here it is," said the emissary, producing a flask. "Take a pull." He pulled and asked: "Gwine to gimme anudder pull when Iee done voted?" and then he pulled again. "Yes, take anudder pull right now. Don't be afear ob it. Dar's plenty moah whar it come from." So the old man pulled again and wanted to know: "Hev yer got anudder dollar bill wid yer?" "Look heah, ole man, you must 'low the campaign committee's made of money. Here's yer udder dollar. Now jump in. De poll is gwine ter'close." "Lor, chile, you makin' out you is a statesman, heah! heah! I've been foolin' yer.

The present cost of coaling a locomotive from New York to Philadelphia is twenty-five dollars, and it is said that, by using the new fuel, a train can be run between the points named for four dollars. This would almost revolutionize railroading. At the Fair at Russell, Kansas, on April 13th, a sheep-shearing match will be held by the Central Kansas wool growers, representing 40,000 head of sheep. The shearing is to be done by machinery, and the result is expected to demonstrate the value of such machines, as compared with the old method. Recent French papers contain accounts of the automatic machines for making "hand-made" lace, to which the Alta has already briefly referred. From these accounts we learn that from 1800 to 2000 spindles are put in movement, and from 200 to 300 'pins are used. It is claimed that all kinds of laces hitherto made by hand can be rapidly turned out, including Valenciennes, Malines, Guipure, Chantilly, etc., and that even the old styles, for which it would be impossible to find workers, can be reproduced, the work of several hundred girls being readily done at once. The statement is made that the American and English patents can be disposed ot at a million dollars each. The papers praise the work as equal to the best hand work. The success of the machine would render the making of imitation lace of the present sort unnecessary. Five hundred thousand women are engaged in the making of lace in Europe, and the machine will bring hard times and suffering to most of them, if it does all that is claimed for it.—San Francisco Alta. Pruning Apricot Trees. The apricot tree is the most difficult of all trees to get into shape. If you are impatient and attempt to make a top first year, or to make your trees grow tall, you will surely lose two years growth as a punishment for your haste. Cut all the top off your trees when you put them out and cut them down within one or two ft. of the ground. When the twigs start out all over the body of the tree, as they should, don't strip them off, let them grow. In July pinch back these side shoots, select the most thrifty from which to make the future tree. Let all grow to shade the old trunk and to make it strong, but give your selected sprout a good chance over the others. Tie it to the trunk. In the latter part of the summer it will show its superiority; then you may still further dwarf all other sprouts. Be sure and not attempt to preserve and make a top to your trees from that "Yes, take anudder pull right now. Don't be afraid ob it. Dar's plenty moah whar it come from." So the old man pulled again and wanted to know: "Hev yer got anudder dollar bill wid yert!" "Look heah, ale man, you must 'low the campaign committee's made of money. Here's yer udder dollar. Now jump in. Do poll is gwine ter close." "Lor, chile, you makin out you is a statesman, heah! heah! I've been foolin' yer. I done vote the other ticket only dis morning, heah! heah! heah!" and the old image settled down in front of the fire and nearly chuckled his head off. Pute Mating Season. [Pioche (Nev.) Record.] This is the mating season with the Piutes. The manner in which they do their courting may be described as follows: Fighting commenced on Meadow Valley street between two gentle maidens, who had a quarrel over a handsomely painted buck. The girl stood their ground, and punched each other with their fists in true white man style, affording much amusement for red and white spectators. After the battle the victor walked over and stood by the side of the prize she had won. There was a number of fights between the bucks. Two brothers, who had changed squaws, had several fights during the day. One brother, who thought he had worst of the bargain, wanted to trade back, but the other refused, and they were fighting at intervals during the whole of the afternoon, resulting in the buck getting both squaws.
