The question is frequently raised by a few in this State, and a great many more living at a distance, whether the fruit business will not be overdone in California! The various enterprises which at one time became hobbies here, such as the growing of mulberry trees, the cultivation of the ramie plant, and so on, are cited as hints of what may possibly no result of the great interest at present in the fruit growing business. There have been times when fruit was largely in excess of local wants, and there being no outlet to it abroad, and no local canneries, it became a drug in the market. It did not pay, or in many instances the poorer sorts did not pay much, if any, profit. It would not pay now many orchardists and viticulturists were it not for the fact that there is more than the local market. When another outlet was found that was the turning point in fruit-growing. For ten years previous to that time orchardists and nurserymen were growling that the business did not pay. Stocks of trees went over from year to year until they became too large to transplant, and so were as good as lost. The vineyard men gathered the sweeter sorts of grapes to fatten hogs, and many apples were used in the same way. The new condition is in striking contrast with the old one. The nurserymen cannot begin to supply the demand for approved sorts of fruit trees. Apricots, the better sorts of plums, prunes and pears, were all engaged weeks ago, or so nearly that it would not do now to depend upon the local market for any considerable supply of trees every year in this State illustrates the views which orange-growers take of this industry. The most careful review of the fruit-growing business in California only serves to confirm the opinion that there is no prospect that the business will be overdone.—S. F. Bulletin. Mothers and nurses cannot be too careful about the soap they use on the little ones. Few but physicians know how many of the so-called skin diseases among children are caused by the use of adulterated, poisonous soap. An analysis of several cakes of the pretty and perfumed toilet soaps that are sold on the streets showed the presence of ground glass, soluble glass, silax, pipe clay, rotten stone, borax, plaster of Paris, tin crystal, magnesia, pumice stone, oat meal and other substances, which are added to give the soap weight, hardness, toughness or clearness. The common colorings are vermilion, Venetian red and carmine, ultramarine green, pot pigment green, copperas, Spanish brown, ultramarine blues, yellow and scarlet anillines and burnt umber. Many of the perfuming ingredients, though harmless in themselves, become chemically poisonous by admixture. Adding the dangers from all these to the rancid, diseased, putrid qualities of grease used, and mothers may well be appalled at the permanent evils these neat-looking, delicately scented blocks of toilet soap contain, ready to be released whenever moistened and applied to the baby's body. The French wheat crop of the year will yield about 18,000,000 bushels less than the Stocks of trees went over from year to year until they became too large to transplant, and so were as good as lost. The vineyard men gathered the sweeter sorts of grapes to fatten hogs, and many apples were used in the same way. The new condition is in striking contrast with the old one. The nurserymen cannot begin to supply the demand for approved sorts of fruit trees. Apricots, the better sorts of plums, prunes and pears, were all engaged weeks ago, or so nearly that it would not do now to depend upon the local market for any considerable supply of trees for setting new orchards. Some supplies will be furnished from Oregon. But these will not go far toward meeting the actual demand. Several parties are now looking to the Eastern States for a supply of young trees. One firm in Sacramento has advertised to deliver young fruit trees from Eastern nurseries as late as November. Probably supplies might be brought in from that side of the country. Of course the new demand for trees will stimulate nurserymen here to increase their supplies. Those who had large stocks during the last two years have done well. The business has been very prosperous, and is likely to be for some years to come. Trash cannot be sold now; only certain approved varieties are wanted. Probably, if a nurseryman were now to advertise that he had 50,000 apricot trees and 50,000 Bartlett pear trees on hand suitable for setting orchards, his supply would be taken up inside of two weeks. There is some prejudice against bringing fruit trees from the East, lest the curculio, the scale bug and other pests should be introduced. But they are already here in force—Young healthy trees from the Atlantic States will not be likely now to aggravate the difficulty. New orchards and vineyards will be set out just so long as the business will pay. There will be a great difference in the product of vineyards. There will be famous wine districts, notable vineyards which will finally come to have a reputation all over the country. The wine produced in California makes little or no impression, in the matter of supply, on the great markets of the world. It is an important item to the producer, but a small item of commerce. Shutting out the consideration of a foreign market, which is such an important fact to wheat-growers, who will furnish freights for five or six hundred ships this year, the fruit-growers of California have the whole country for a market, and that will be large enough for generations to come. Fresh fruit shipments will increase from year to year, but only of those sorts which can be sent to Eastern markets in advance of the crop produced there. Canned fruits will go to the Atlantic States, and they will go abroad. Considerable shipments have been made this year. The canners will take care of the surplus green fruits. Shippers will take care of the early grapes and the wine-makers will take care of the later grapes, with some show for the raisin-makers. The French wheat crop of the year will yield about 58,000,000 bushels less than the crop of last year. The butter, cheese, egg and milk business of this country is estimated to be worth about $40,000,000 a year. The total area of Tennessee is 26,800,000 acres, of which 10,771,396 acres are still covered with the original forest. Ohio's wheat crop is 37,215,248 bushels. Last year it was 52,500,000 bushels. Almost all crops show considerable decline. By a recent census the population of Prussia is set down as 27,278,395 souls, of whom 1,222,440 live in Berlin. The use of beer and wine on the Iowa State Fair grounds was forbidden, but 11,600 bottles of whisky were sold to visitors to be drunk on the grounds.

Of the total population of Utah, 143,997, there are 99,974 native born and 43,944 foreign born. Of the whole number of inhabitants, 20,000 in round numbers are Gentiles and 124,000 Mormons, and of the Mormons but 3,000 have more than one wife. The Okeechobee Land Company, in Florida, where jute grows wild, propose to make some experiments in its cultivation next season. The demand for jute bagging, the main supply of which comes from India, is very large both in the South and in the North. The annual product of gold is now less than $100,000,000, and its foreign coinage is practically suspended. In the United States the production has gradually diminished. In 1878 it was $47,107; in 1879 it was $38,900,000; in 1880, $36,000,000.

According to semi-official figures, compiled for the New Orleans Picayune, the sugar crop of the year ending September 1, 1881, was the largest raised in Louisiana since the war.

That certain varieties do resist fully is shown by thousands of examples in France, where they have been planted in the worst infected apots and continue to thrive and flourish, while all the Viniferae have succeeded whenever moistened and applied to the baby's body.

Fresh fruit shipments will increase from year to year, but only of those sorts which can be sent to Eastern markets in advance of the crop produced there. Canned fruits will go to the Atlantic States, and they will go abroad. Considerable shipments have been made this year. The canners will take care of the aur-plus green fruits. Shippers will take care of the early grapes and the wine-makers will take care of the later grapes, with some show for the raisin-makers. There is, therefore, no prospect that the fruit business will be overdone in this State, except in solitary instances where poor varieties are produced. Fruit-growers now study the market. They understand just what is wanted. They know, for instance, that apricots, plums and prunes will be in demand, certain varieties of pears will be wanted, and that early grapes, or the more tropical varieties, can always be sent to the other side of the country, because not a pound of these grapes can ever be produced there. As for the almond-growers, some will do well and some will not. It is a very capricious crop. One almond orchard of twenty acres is now being grubbed up in Alameda county, and many others have been neglected in different parts of the State. Yet, on some of the mountain slopes, as at Los Gatos, the almond does well. That product does not at present promise to make much of a figure in this State, although there will be almond orchards enough at least to supply the local demand. The orange-growers will finally conquer more than a local market. They compete to some extent with the tropical islands of the Pacific. Tahiti formerly supplied this market with limes and oranges, except the few which were brought from Mexico. The orange-growers will have the whole Pacific Northwest, and will push their trade as far East as St. Louis and Chicago. There they will meet the competition from supplies furnished by Florida, Cuba and the countries about the Mediterranean. But having more than a local market, in fact a constantly increasing one, there is no prospect that branch of industry will be overdone in our time. The fact that a very large increase in the area of new orange orchards is made By a vote of a degenerate Virginian Bayard, the pure and good, sana puer et sana reproche, has been "hauled down," and a ton of stale lard in the shape of David Davis made possible President of the United States—and all on account of the treachery of Billy Mahone.—Richmond State. According to semi-official figures, compiled for the New Orleans Picayune, the sugar crop of the year ending September 1, 1881, was the largest raised in Louisiana since the war. The total pounds of sugar are given at 272,982,899, and gallons of molasses, 15,-255,030. Kentucky is said to have 58,000,000 gallons of whiskey in store, very nearly four-fifths of the annual production of the country. This mass of spirits represents $150,-000,000 locked up in a general speculation which the short crops this fall may make profitable. Baltimore, Oct. 23.—Among the cargo of the steamer Leipsig, which arrived here yesterday from Bremen, were 8,000 head of cabbages imported from Oldenburg, Germany. This is said to be the first importation of vegetables ever brought to this port, and is due to the high prices of home-raised cabbages. The U. S. Senate adjourned nine days on Saturday last. The only changes made in the Cabinet were Judge Folger of New York for Secretary of the Treasury in place of Windom. Postmaster-General Jannas has consented to remain in the Cabinet until the let of December. What is said to be the largest specimen of the century plant ever known is owned by Fred Englehardt, and is in Kenosha, Win., in the care of a family to whom it was presented about thirty years ago, it being then between thirty and forty years old. It is now about to bloom for the first time. The plant is about twenty feet in diameter, the leaves being from eight to eleven feet long. The report of the newly established Analytical Laboratory in Paris, shows that out of 455 samples of wine purchased by the inspectors in the month of June, 218 were adulterated; out of 22 of cider, 15; out of 160 of milk and cream, 120; out of 19 of butter, 10. No fewer than 49 of the 64 samples of spices analyzed were condemned in like manner. The report on chocolates and sweetmeats is scarcely more favorable. Omaha, Oct. 30.—Captain Paul Boynton arrived here this afternoon from Sioux City. His arrival was witnessed by at least 10,000 persons. Boynton was accompanied by Crellman, correspondent of the New York Herald, who rode in a canoe. They will remain here a few days and then start for St. Louis. Soon after the arrival of Boynton an unknown man stripped off, and stating that he was going to give a public swimming exhibition, plunged into the river. He soon sank and was drowned. It is thought to be a deliberate case of suicide. Philadelphia, October 28.—General Bonlanger, one of the French guests, captured a person known as "Buffalo Bill," who is a notorious criminal; in his room last night at the hotel, and detained him with a award until the police arrived. The burglar was taken to police headquarters, and the Grand Jury at once found a true bill against him. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. "I don't see any of the wild-cats you spoke of on this land you offer me. Have been all over it and can't see a single hand." "Oh well, probably you can't, this time of day, but just wait till moon-up, or about daylight in the morning, and you'll see plenty of heads and tails too — soybeans we call 'am.'" Rochester (Pa.), October 18.—As the Treasurer of Beaver county was opening his cafe this morning he was knocked down by two unknown men and $12,000 of county funds abstracted from the safe. The robber escaped with their booty without leaving any clue to their identity. GAZETTE. MER 5, 1881.

At Watsonville, Robert Willits shot Geo. Gastrock in the neck. Both were intoxicated. The wound is not dangerous. The body of James Murphy, aged 30 years, was found in Stockton channel last Saturday. It is supposed the drowning was accidental. John B. Le Clerc, a Frenchman, aged 63, killed himself in San Francisco by suffocation with charcoal. Sickness, long continued and hopeless, was the cause. John W. Eckstrum, a Swedish sailor, fell overboard from a skiff in Mountain Lake, near the Presidio reservation, San Francisco, and was drowned. The will of the late Peter D. Bailey of Napa has been filed for probate. Among the bequests is one for $5000 to the Catholic Magdalen Asylum of San Francisco. The estate is valued at $111,000, and is principally in Government bonds. "Why are you so later?" asked one of the teachers in the Chico Grammar School of a little girl last Friday. She hung her head and said, "We have a baby at home." "Don't let it happen again," said the teacher savagely, and the little girl said she would not, and took her seat. An experiment in rice cultivation in Sonoma county resulted badly. On the lst of August the crop on the upland looked at a water on him while washing her feet. It is believed by the Chinese that such an accident will bring misfortune to the person upon whom the water thus falls, and it becomes the duty of the careless person to prevent to the other a certain amount of candy and cola to avert the evil. The woman did as this strange superstition commanded, but the man was not satisfied and threatened to shoot some one in the house. A few hours later he returned and deliberately shot the woman. She is in a precarious condition and will doubtless die. A Georgetown (Cal.) dispatch of last Saturday says: Yesterday evening a little child, daughter of L. Guerder, of this place, was taken suddenly and violently ill, with symptoms of strychnine poisoning. She stated in answer to questions that on her way home from school she had eaten some crackers and cheese which had been given her, and nothing else except part of an apple. After considerable suffering she died last night. To-day an autopsy was held to determine the cause of her death. The contents of the stomach were removed, among which were found undigested portions of the cheese. The vessel which contained these was inadvertently placed where two young dogs and a kitten had access to it, and a short time after all three died with undoubted symptoms of poisoning.

On the list of August the crop on the upland looked at a distance as though it was ripe and ready for the reaper and thresher, but on close examination not one grain of rice could be discovered. It would have made first-class hay if it had been cut and cured at the proper time. Fish Commissioner B. B. Redding reports there are now at the San Leandro establishment 200,000 young salmon ready for distribution, and that they can be sent out in lots of from 10,000 to 15,000 to desirable points, upon proper application being made to J. G. Woodbridge, San Leandro. A lot of noted whitefish of the Great Lakes will be ready for distribution at an early date. SAN FRANCISCO, October 29.—In an address to the Horticultural Society yesterday, Mr. J. Brewer of Sacramento showed that the shipments of green fruit overland had increased from 2,500,000 pounds in 1871 to over 10,000,000 thus far in the current year. Great losses have occurred to shippers from careless packing, and from mixing fruits intended to keep for several months with those that should be used immediately. The following extract is from the proceedings of the St. Helena Viticultural Society: Amount of grape crop being referred to, McCord said he had about half a crop this year; Peterson, about half; Adamson, about half; Ewer, over half; Wheeler, not quite half; Jno. Lewelling, a little over half; Crane, over two-thirds; Lemme, one-third more than last year, having no frost nor mildew; Krug, not all picked, but thought a third short. Fruit growers in California should redouble their energies to extend their orchards, and to keep those already planted in a healthy condition. Reports from the Eastern States show more clearly than ever that many young orchards of peach, pear and apple in the Middle and Northern States have been destroyed. The nurseries also have suffered. A scarcity of fruit trees is expected everywhere. John Hunter, a young man aged 24 years, was instantly killed at Ellis' lumber yards, in San Jose on Saturday by lumber falling on him. Young Hunter was on a wagon before a twelve-foot pile, receiving lumber from the yardmaster, when one tier of the pile fell outward, throwing the yardmaster clear over the wagon without injury and crushing Hunter to death instantly.

We clip the following from an exchange, and recommend its perusal by our citizens; in fact it would not be unproductive of good if it was committed to memory: 1. Soll your building lots at a reasonable price. 2. If you can afford to do so, donate a building lot to some large building enterprise, and thereby enhance the value of town property. 3. Induce business men to locate in your own town. 4. Patronize the business men of your own town. 5. Always sum up your own expenses when you visit places outside of your own town to buy goods. 6. Speak well of worthy public enterprises. 7. If anything should be undertaken that may be of benefit to the town, do not speak ill of others because you happen to be prejudiced against it. 8. Speak well to strangers of your town and people. 9. If you have surplus money"do not invest it in far-off speculation, but give yourself and town the benefit of it by establishing some profitable factory. 10. Encourage your newspaper by advertising in, subscribing for and paying for it. There is a story that the popular hymn, "The Sweet By and By," was the work of two men while drunk. Joseph P. Webster, who composed the music, died several years ago. Dr. S. F. Bennett, author of the verses, lives at Richmond, Ill. He says that the charge of intoxication is untrue, though Webster was a free drinker. The two wrote a hymn book in 1874, and "The Sweet By and By" was one of the pieces jointly produced for it. The suggestion came from a chance remark by Webster, who was habitually despondent, that all would be well "by and by." Bennett at once made the rhymes,and Webster brought the music out of a siddle, which was his customary aid in composition. The hymn book had its day, and is forgotten; but this one tune is put into every new publication of the kind, and has a sale of about 10,000 copies a year in shoot form. Dr. Bennett says that he and Webster were not orthodox Christians when the hymn was written, and that he is now even less a believer. As interesting to the many members of mutual benefit societies, we make mention of two recent decisions by the Michigan Supreme Court. One holds that a contract by a benefit society to pay money upon the death one of its members to one who it is clearly apparent has no interest in the life insured, is contrary to public policy, and will not be enforced.

Governor Perkins has pardoned George McClintock, aged twelve years, and sentenced from Placer county to twelve years in the State Prison for breaking into a car. The pardon was granted because of the extreme youth of the boy and because James Rouytier, a reputable citizen, has been by Court appointed his guardian and proposes to take him on his farm and endeavor to bring him up to useful manhood. The profits of carp culture are illustrated in the following telegram from Stockton: William L. Overhiser, a farmer who resides about four miles from this city, shipped 100 carp to a farmer who resides in the State of Nevada and who proposes to propagate that kind of fish for market. About two years ago Mr. Overhiser started in with 20 carp, and he has now about 20,000, varying in size from tiny minnows to plump twelve-pounders. The sum of $50 was paid for the 100 shipped to-day. The Modeste, Tualumne and Mono Railroad Company has been incorporated for the purpose of constructing and operating a railroad and telegraph line from Modesto in Stanislaus county to the San Joaquin branch of the Central Pacific, thence running through Stanislaus, Tualumne and Mono counties to Bodie.

One holds that a contract by a benefit society to pay money upon the death one of its members to one who it is clearly apparent has no interest in the life insured, is contrary to public policy, and will not be enforced. The other case was as follows: A member of a benefit society was entitled upon his death, to have the sum of $2000 paid to the person or persons named by him, and entered by his order in the society's "will book." He directed, and there was so entered, that $100 should be paid his daughter and $1900 to his wife, reserving the right of changing beneficiaries or annulling the disposition. Subsequently he made a will revoking his former disposition and providing that after payment of debts $500 should go to his wife, the remainder to be equally divided among his children. The Court held that the will was a valid disposition of the fund, although not entered in the society's will book, and payment should be made directly to the beneficiaries. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.— General Drum, in his annual report to the General of the Army, says: The losses of the army during the year were: Deaths, 248; discharges, 6-564; desertions, 2,361. Total, 9,173. Number recruits assigned, 2,905. This shows an increase of 1,260 discharges, 12 deaths and 310 desertions. The General recommends a change in the method of promotion to the rank of field officer below the rank of Colonel, and this end, he thinks, can only be attained by promotion in the army instead of by commission in particular regiments.
