The people of the United States organized capacity, constrain not a mere confederacy of national Government is so sphere of its national duplexes have reserved rights which fully maintained. We have always received money known to the civil urge that efforts should bring the commercial nations into an international standstill for all the relative value of coinage. The regulation of communities and between them is most important prerogative Government, and the Reconstitution announces its purity legislation as will fully allow out the constitutional power interstate commerce. The principle of the railroad corporations is a one for the protection of people, and we favor legal prevent unjust discriminatory charges for transportation cure to the people and the fair and equal protection. We favor the establishment bureau of labor, the eight-hour law, and a system of general education appropriations from the nation the same is needed. We believe that every accorded to citizens of Anaheim be secured to citizens by law and we favor the settlementferences by international relations. The Republican party, a hatred of slave labor and men may be truly free and ably opposed to placing competition with any form whether at home or abroad we denounce the import labor, whether from Europe offense against the spirit institutions, and we pledge our present law restricting it and to provide such as is necessary to carry out the reform of the civil law begun under Republic should be completed by the law of the reform system already applicable. The spirit reform should be observed appointments and all laws the object of existing should be appealed, to the gers to free institutions w PLATFORM of the REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR 1884. The Republicans of the United States, in national convention assembled, renew their allegiance to the principles upon which they have triumphed in six successive Presidential elections and congratulate the American people on the attainment of so many results in legislation and administration, by which the Republican party has, after saving the Union, done so much to render its institutions just, equal and beneficent, the safeguard of liberty and the embodiment of the best thought and highest purposes of our citizens. The Republican party has gained its strength by a quick and faithful response to the demands of the people for the freedom and equality of all men, for a united nation, assuring the rights of all citizens, for the elevation of labor, for an honest currency, for purity in legislation and for integrity and accountability in all the departments of the Government, and it accepts anew the duty of leading in the work of progress and reform. We lament the death of President Garfield, whose sound statesmanship, long conspicuous in Congress, gave promise of a strong and successful administration, a promise fully realized during the short period of his office as President of the United States. His distinguished success in war and peace has endeared him to the hearts of the American people. In the administration of President Arthur we recognize a wise, conservative and patriotic policy, under which the country has been blessed with remarkable prosperity. We believe his eminent services are entitled to and will receive the hearty approval of every citizen. It is the first duty of a good Government to protect the rights and promote the interests of its own people. The largest diversity of industry is most productive of general prosperity and the comfort and independence power of official patronage may be wisely and effectively avoided. The public lands are a heritage of the people of the United States and should be reserved, as far as possible, for small holdings by actual settlers. We are opposed to the acquisition of large tracts of these lands by corporations or individuals, especially where such holdings are in the hands of non-resident aliens, and we will endeavor to obtain such legislation as will tend to correct this evil. We demand of Congress the speedy forfeiture of all land grants which have lapsed by reason of non-compliance with the acts of incorporation, in all cases where there has been no attempt in good faith to perform the conditions of such grants. The perpetuity of our institutions rests upon the maintaining of a free ballot, honest count and correct returns. We denounce the fraud and violence practiced by the Democratic party in the Southern States by which the will of the voter is defeated as dangerous to the preservation of our free institutions, and we solemnly arraign the Democratic party as being the guilty recipient of the fruits of such fraud violence. We extend to the Republicans of the South, regardless of their former party affiliations, our cordial sympathy, and pledge to them our most earnest efforts to promote the passage of such legislation as will secure to every citizen of whatever race and color the full and complete recognition, possession and exercise of all his civil and political rights. Appointments by the President to offices in the Territories should be made from the bona file citizens and residents of the Territories wherein they are to serve. The grateful thanks of the American people are due to the Union soldiers and sailors of the late war, and the Republican party stands pledged to provide suitable pensions for all who were disabled and for the widows and orphans of those who died in the war. The Republican party also pledges itself to be wisely and effectively avoided. THE FAMOUS BLUE LAWS. The territory comprised in the State of Connecticut was formerly two colonies—Connecticut and New Haven. The colony of Connecticut was planted at Windsor, in 1663, by emigrants from Massachusetts, at Hartford in 1675 and Wethersfield in 1635. The other colony was settled by emigrants from England in 1638, and was called the Dominion of Haven. The two colonies were united in 1685. The famous Blue Laws of which a full copy is given below were enacted by the people of the Dominion of New Haven: The Governor and magistrates convened in general assembly are the supreme power, under God, of this independent dominion. From the determination of the assembly no appeal shall be made. Conspiracy against this dominion shall be punished with death. Whosoever says there is a power and jurisdiction above and over this dominion shall suffer death. No one shall be a freeman and give a vote unless he be converted and a member in full communion of one of the churches allowed in this dominion. Each freeman shall swear by the blessed God to bear true allegiance to this dominion, and that Jesus is the only King. No Quaker or dissenter from the established worship of this dominion shall be allowed to give a vote for the election of magistrates or any officer. No food or lodging will be offered to a Quaker, Adamite, or other heretic. If any person turn Quaker no shall be banished and not suffered to return, but on pain of death. No Quaker Priest shall abide in the dominion; he shall be banished and suffer death on his return. Priests may be seized by any one without a warrant. spicuous in Congress, gave promise of a strong and successful administration, a promise fully realized during the short period of his office as President of the United States. His distinguished success in war and peace has endearned him to the hearts of the American people. In the administration of President Arthur we recognize a wise, conservative and patriotic policy, under which the country has been blessed with remarkable prosperity. We believe his eminent services are entitled to and will receive the hearty approval of every citizen. It is the first duty of a good Government to protect the rights and promote the interests of its own people. The largest diversity of industry is most productive of general prosperity and the comfort and independence of the people, the taxpayers, without injuring the laborer or the great productive interests of the country. We recognize the importance of sheep husbandry in the United States, the serious depression which it is now experiencing, and the danger threatening its future prosperity, and we therefore respect the demands of the representatives of this important agricultural interest for the readjustment of the duty upon foreign wool, in order that such industry shall have full and adequate protection. We therefore demand that the imposition of duties on foreign imports shall be made not for revenue only, but that in raising the requisite revenue for the Government such duties shall be so levied as to afford security to our diversified industries and protection to the rights and wages of the laborer, to the end that active and intelligent labor, as well as capital, may have its just reward, and the laboring man his full share in the national prosperity. Against the so-called economic system of the Democratic party, which would degrade our labor to the foreign standard, we enter our earnest protest. The Democratic party has failed completely to relieve the people of the burden of unnecessary taxation by a wise reduction of the surplus. The Republican party pledges itself to correct the irregularities of the tariff and to reduce the surplus, not by the vicious and indiscriminate process of horizontal reduction, but by such methods as will relieve the taxpayer without injuring the laborer or the great productive interests of the country. The Republican party favors a policy which shall keep us from entangling alliances with foreign nations and which gives us the right to expect that foreign nations shall refrain from meddling in American affairs. The policy which seeks peace can trade with all Powers, but especially with those of the western hemisphere. We demand the restoration of our navy to its old-time strength and efficiency, that it may, in any sea, protect the rights of American citizens and the interests of American commerce, and we call upon Congress to remove the burdens under which American shipping has been depressed, so that it may again be true that we have a commerce. It is the duty of Congress to enact such laws as shall promptly and effectually suppress the system of polygamy within our Territories, and divorce the political from the ecclesiastical power of the so-called Mormon Church, and that the law so enacted should be rigidly enforced by the civil authorities, if possible, and by the military, if need be. The people of the United States, in their organized capacity, constitute a nation and not a mere confederacy of States. The National Government is supreme within the sphere of its national duty, but the States have reserved rights which should be faithfully maintained.

The people of the United States, in their organized capacity, constitute a nation and not a mere confederacy of States. The National Government is supreme within the sphere of its national duty, but the States have reserved rights which should be faithfully maintained. We have always recommended the best money known to the civilized world, and we urge that efforts should be made to unite all the commercial nations in the establishment of an international standard, which shall fix for all the relative value of gold and silver coinage. The regulation of commerce with foreign nations and between the States is one of the most important prerogatives of the general Government, and the Republican party distinctly announces its purpose to support such legislation as will fully and efficiently carry out the constitutional power of Congress over interstate commerce. The principle of the public regulation of railroad corporations is a wise and salutary one for the protection of all classes of the people, and we favor legislation that shall prevent unjust discrimination and excessive charges for transportation, and that shall secure to the people and the railways alike the fair and equal protection of the laws. We favor the establishment of a national bureau of labor, the enforcement of the eight-hour law, and a wise and judicious system of general education by adequate appropriations from the national revenue where the same is needed. We believe that everywhere the protection accorded to citizens of American birth must be secured to citizens by American adoption, and we favor the settlement of national differences by international arbitration. The Republican party, having its birth in a hatred of slave labor and a desire that all men may be truly free and equal, is unalterably opposed to placing our workingmen in competition with any form of servile labor, whether at home or abroad. In this spirit we denounce the importation of contract labor, whether from Europe or Asia, as an offense against the spirit of American institutions, and we pledge ourselves to sustain the present law restricting Chinese immigration and to provide such further legislation as is necessary to carry out its purposes. The reform of the civil service auspiciously begun under Republican administration should be completed by the further extension of the reform system already established by law to all grades of the service to which it is applicable. The spirit and purpose of the reform should be observed in all executive appointments and all laws at variance with the object of existing reform legislation should be appealed, to the end that the dangers to free institutions which lurk in the CORROBORATIVE. In his Sunday morning prayer a Wisconsin minister prayed the Lord that such his congregation as were speculating in wheat might be brought to a realizing sense of their iniquity by losing heavily. During the next week wheat dropped nine cents per bushel, and twenty-three members of the congregation had such cold feet that they couldn't stand still. The week after that there was a meeting of the congregation to see about raising the minister's salary, and the result was to cut it down from $1,500 per annum to $800. As one of the kickers answered in explanation: "We had them Milwaukee chaps right by the short hair, and this feller had to jump in and request the Lord to knock us endways. If he wants more'n $800 a year let him buy lottery tickets and pray for 'em to hit. Grupe Seed Oil. Grape seed oil is (according to the Corps Gras Industriels) used in Italy for purposes of illumination. The extraction is principally effected at Modena. It has also long been used for similar purposes in Germany and the Levant. Thirty-three pounds of seed yield about 13 quarts of oil (or about 18 per cent.) The seeds of white grapes yield less oil than those of the dark variety, and young vines are said to be more fruitful in this respect than older ones. As to the French varieties, the Rossillar, Anbe, and Herault seeds yield 2 per cent. more than Bordeaux seeds. The color is a golden yellow, and the oil loses about 25 per cent. in purification. What every man can do better than any one else, says a Western exchange, are to poke a fire, put on his hat, edit a newspaper, tell a story—after another man has commenced it—and examine a railway timetable. "My dear what shall we name our babe?" said Mr. Smith to Mrs. Smith the other day. "Why, hub, I've settled on Peter." "Peter! I never knew a man with the simple name of Peter who could earn his salt." "Well, then, we'll call him Salt Peter." All for 50 Cents. Mr. E. C. Walker, Editor "Track and Road," The Spirit of the Times, New York, after an exhaustive interiew, with all leading horsemen, stablemen, sportsmen, drivers and breeders of horses of the country, states that St. Jacobe Oil, the great paincure, will do all that is claimed for it in the care of aches, pains and suffering in man and beast. Cremation in Venezuela. The President of Venezuela has ordered the cremation of the bodies of all persons dying of yellow fever, on the ground that there is danger of infection from buried bodies for months after the burial. The decree says: "The national Government will order from Europe the apparatuses necessary for the cremation of the bodies, for the purpose of establishing one in Caracas, one in the capital of the States, and one in each one of the districts annually visited by the fever. The cremation will be declared obligatory as soon as the apparatuses can be made to work, under the direction of employees taught to manage them by an operator brought from Europe for that purpose by the Government. The ashes of the bodies will be delivered to the relatives or other persons interested, in an urn, shut and sealed, with the corresponding certificate signed by the chiefs of the establishment. In no case will the friends and relations of the deceased person be prevented from witnessing the cremation of the corpse." Wanted to be Cremated. A Chicago man, who seemed lying in the throes of death, said to his wife: "I believe I would like to be cremated." "I don't think you can be," with tears rolling down her cheeks. A week later, when he was getting better, the Chicago man said: "What made you believe I could not be cremated; Jane?" "The crematory could never reduce your cheek to ashes, dear. They cannot cremate brass, iron and metals, you know." "That's a fact," he replied. "I had not thought of that." A whisker dye must be convenient to use, easy to apply, impossible to rub off, elegant in appearance, and cheap in price. Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskere unites in itself all these merits. Try it. GAZETTE. JUNE 14, 1884. NO. 3 BLUE LAWS. The introduction of illuminated ballet girls has greatly added to the attractions of the spectacular stage. Girls with electric lights on their foreheads and batteries concealed in the recesses of their clothing first made their appearance a year ago, but as yet the use of illuminated girls has not spread beyond the stage. There is, however, a great fortune awaiting the grand idea of incandescent girls, and there is reason to believe that in a very short time private houses will be lighted by girls instead of stationary electric lights. The formation of the Electric Girl Lighting Company is an event second in importance only to the invention of electric lights. This company proposes to supply girls of fifty candle power each in quantities to suit householders. The girls are to be fed and clothed by the company, and customers will, of course, be permitted to select at the company's warehouse whatever style of girl may please their fancy. A very beautiful design for a front hall girl is now on exhibition at the company's office, No. 409 Gold street. The present system of lighting the front hall of a dwelling house has the disadvantage that the light — whether it be a gas light or an electric light — must be kept burning all the evening, and that a servant must be employed to answer the bell. Thus there is a double expense—the cost of the light and the cost of the servant. The Electric Girl Lighting Company will furnish a beautiful girl of fifty or a hundred candle power, who will be on duty from dusk till midnight—or as much later as may be desired. This girl will remain seated in the hall until some one rings the front door bell. She will then turn on her electric light, open the door, admit the visitor, and light him into the reception room. One girl thus performs the duties of lighting the front door bell. The Napu Valley Grape Growers Association. An interesting and profitable meeting was held last Saturday afternoon. Hon. M. M. Eatee presided, Mr. Charles Krug, of St Helena, a member of the State Board of Viticulture was the first speaker. His remarks were substantially as follows: GENTLEMEN: I have not prepared myself to make a speech; however I can say something concerning viticulture. We are busy at home just now suckering and staking. A few are sulphuring. We have also done considerable grafting, and nearly every vineyard in our section has had some grafting done on it this year. We are favoring more and more the planting of resistant stocks. The outlook is encouraging, and all the vineyards that I have inspected, including Mr. Eatee's and others, I have found in very fine condition. Now about resistant stocks; we must give up our European vines and rely solely upon our American stocks. Hill land for grapes in our vicinity is growing into greater favor every year, and wine men prefer such land, even though it is rocky. I have not yet seen, in my trips through the valley, any signs of frost. Everything looks well. Especially did I admire Messrs. Miller's, Eatee's and Hogan's vineyards. They are in excellent condition. There is something strange about the sickness of vines; one day they look well and the next they appear black and are soon destroyed. Constant care and great pains are essential to keep a vineyard in proper condition. Only by this attention can we hope for a yield commensurate with the labor expended and the capital invested. President Eatee then took the floor and spoke briefly as follows: In regard to sulphide of iron I will say a few words. When used as a liquid, or when ground up, sulphide of iron is a very valuable substance. wear by the blessedance to this dominion,only King. ter from the establishinion shall be allowedselection of magistrates will be offered to aother heretic.

Prof. Collier, late chemist of the U. S.Department of Agriculture, has long been anardent believer in the idea that sorghum isin time destined to furnish all the sugarneeded in this country, and probably yetmore for export. He has just publisheda volume presenting the most important factsbearing on this subject, as obtained fromextended examinations of different varieties of sorghum, and the actual working resultsof numerous trials on a practical scale. In anaddress before an agricultural conventionin Connecticut four years ago, the Professorof lighting the front hall of a dwellinghouse has the disadvantage that the light-whether it be a gas light or an electriclight—must be kept burning all the evening,andthat a servant must be employed to answerthe bell.

In anaddress before an agricultural conventionin Connecticut four years ago,the Professorof lighting the front hall of a dwellinghouse has the disadvantage that the light-whether it be a gas light or an electriclight—must be kept burning all the evening,and that a servant must be employed to answerthe bell.

Prof. Collier, late chemist of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has long been an ardent believer in the idea that sorghum is in time destined to furnish all the sugar needed in this country, and probably yet more for export. He has just published a volume presenting the most important facts bearing on this subject, as obtained from extended examinations of different varieties of sorghum, and the actual working results of numerous trials on a practical scale. In an address before an agricultural convention in Connecticut, four years ago, the Professor predicted that, within five years from that time, we would be producing our own sugar. He then referred to the large possibilities of making sugar from corn stalks, then, as now, almost entirely wasted; pointed out the wasteful manner in which sugar was made at the South and in Cuba from the sugar cane, and claimed that, either from sorghum or beet raising, though preferably from sorghum, we could more regularly and economically obtain all the sugar the country would consume. We are very far as yet from having attained the development of this industry that was then predicted, but that we are progressing toward it there is much proof. Counting the average consumption of each individual at about forty pounds a year, we produce only about one-eighth of the total supply required. The trouble seems to have been that, though the sorghum has been demonstrated to have sufficient sacharine matter, and can be raised at a cost not greater than that of sugar cane, the amount of crystallized sugar obtained therefrom has generally been far below what had been expected. In some of the trials most excellent results have been reached, but more often, owing to the planting of wrong kinds of sorghum and defective methods of manufacture, the results have been disappointing to those who at first were most confident of an early and brilliant success. Prof. Collier has enjoyed exceptional advantages for the observation of all that has thus far been done in the United States in this direction, and now admits that "there are still many unsolved questions relating to the perfection and cheapening of working processes," but claims that, with proper conditions, and attention to the rules for practice which experience has shown to be necessary, the "successes will greatly outnumber the failures" in the manufacture of crystallized sugar from sorghum. A dead shark fifteen feet long was washed ashore near Fort Harford last week, and in its stomach was found a small whisky bottle and some human hair. The name of the deceased Democrat has not been yet ascertained. Large Grape Vines. Capt. W. G. Phelps has a grape vine that is now believed to be the largest in the United States. In 1867 the large vine that was famous in Southern California was cut down and exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition. It measured 14 inches in diameter. This vine of Captain Phelpa' is 25 years old and is 13 inches in diameter. It is of the Mission variety, and it has never received the benefits of irrigation. It stands near the house, south of Stockton about two miles, and it covers about 4,000 square feet of ground. If it had been permitted to run where it wished it would have covered a much larger area, but it was found necessary to cut it back in order to save the roof of the house. The largest crop that grew was two or three years ago, when, after selling a ton and a half by actual weight, the remainder was estimated at two tons and a half.—Pacific Rural Press. (In the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club for January, 1882, Prof. C. E. Bessy reports finding in Wayne county, Ohio, a colony of grape vines, supposed to be Vitis labrasca L., the trunks of which were, some of them, over a foot in diameter. In a subsequent number of the same journal, Mr. H. W. Ravenel, of Bluffton, S. C., states that in March, 1881, while in Darrien, Ga., he rode out to Baislen's Bluff on the coast, some twelve miles northeast of Darrien, to see a celebrated grape vine. It was just in leaf, and, from the wood and bark, appeared to be Vitis aestrilla. On measuring the trunk at 8 feet from the ground, Mr. Ravenel found that it had a circumference of 44 inches. This rather beats the grape vine of the land of the "big trees." Another large vine, although of smaller dimensions than those noted above, is reported by Mr. N. L. Britton (l.c.) as growing near Egbertville, at Staten Island, N.Y. This vine (Vitis cardifolia) has a circumference of 25½ inches at a point three feet above its base, "completely covers three cedar trees, each at least 20 feet high, and is a very beautiful plant." Almost everybody has seen a cat sig; but few have heard a lamb sign.
