.Drrtiiis Farmer: I See by your paper of 
i ulL, undur the hood of "The Geological 
>stian," that your correspondent, Mr. E. P. 
mdago, has taken up the gauntlet which bis 
larks in your paper of July Itilh, about my 
■■presumption" and "stupid blunders," uompel-

lult of a further expression of his ideas 
*4?just as I suggested in my notice of his article 
of March 3d ; aud lie nun- declare* more plainly, 
that granitic rook, was not fluid in its elementary 
state. A discussion of this question would not 
advance knowledge, for that is a settled fact in 

The solitary faot brought forward by your 
correspondent, that salt "-fjfs 1200 /eot and 1650 
feet deep, yield cold water, Jo,,., no t disturb the 
result of the incontroi-ert^'e evidences of the 
former fluidity of the gh/e. Wo must seek 
explanations for that fact without endeavoring 
to upsoi conclusions as steadfast as the globo 
itself. To argue against the former fluid ana 
incandescent stale of the globe, is "to kick 
against tho pricks." To argue in favor of it in 
this year of scientific light, appears to mo to bo 
wasting lime and words. Throwing out of con- 
i-jdoratior. all minor ™ui^™. tti» ert .oi IVt,, D f 
the elevation of mountain ranges and of the 
geological oscillations of continents from oyclc 
to cyule, show conclusively that tho crust of tf 
earth can bo of no great thickness, nnd that 
mast rest on n fluid which yields, and rises an 
fall*, and is in mora or less constant motioi 
throogh influences which at present nro voi 
mysterious, and which are now beoomin 
subjects of interesting inquiry with physical 
philosophers. 

A groat point at which science aims tc-doy, 
is to ascertain what produces those periodical 
changes of level, and those oonspiouous inaonal. 
itjes of the surface of this globo, and of tho 
other planets of our system. Physicists arc 
now etudying tho agencies by which God made 
"the dry land la appear" In preparing. rtU 
planet for tho dawn of its organic creations; 
and there is not tho least ground for fear that 
their researches mil bo "rewarded by dioop- 
pointmoot or danger." Only two classes of 
persons will bo disturbed by the bold researches 
and severe deductions of scionoe. Theso aro 
skeptics and infidels on ono hand, and on the 
other, ecclesiastical bigots, whoBO ednoation has 
chained thaai to tho oonmcnical formulas of tho 
middle ages, and who have not faith enoagh in 
God and Scripture, to contemplate nature bo- 
jond the vitiated horizon of Ihoir schismatic 
npmbfion. Scienc will set both of theso 
Classes of mistaken thinkers right, in tho course 
of the jnM calory. There may be skeptics ! 
and idolaters in all Qfit!K . PjU[ io \ ha |nfliQ ' Jn

We continued on up to the pine hills, aud the 
next place that wo observed of note was theSaw- 
mill owned by Smith, Dudley & Co. (formerly 
Smith, Hunt & Co.). This is a good sawmill, in 
a good lumber district ; has now been in opera- 
tion some fWo years, and yet good. Wesley 
Smith A Conrad, two of tho partners, stop at this 
mill and superintend in the way of good bard 
work, one at the engine and the other in the 
lumber ynrd. From this Iwcnt four miles in an 
easterly direction, to their new mill. Arrived at 
12 m. and fonnd their (able spread with the rich 
dainties of life. After a good dinner we repaired 
to the new mill for tho first time, and a good mill 
in every sense of the word it is. The resident 
owners are Wniter Smith & Dudley fpartners 
with Wesley Smith &. Conrad at the old mill), 
and both have good houses and tho needful (a 
good wife each). Now 1 must say to you that I 
have never seen as good a saw mill in any other 
State. Tho building is seventy-two feet long, 
thirty- five feet wide, twenty-two and a half feet 
posts, with a good roof, and a line spring of water 
is near by. Tho machinery is hard to bo beaten; 
the total weight of machinery and bolts is 45,000 
pounds— I mean the iron work. This mill has 
in tho work 900 bolts of various sizes, a largo 
proportion manufactured by themselves at their 
n place in the mountains. They hare a saw 
edge lumber, slit laths, &e. They are now 
preparing to put in operation a largo cylinder 
w, 42-inch diameter. They have two boilers 
'i feet long, 42-inch diameter, 10-inch flues ; saw 
no feet long, sash eight feet wide in the clear. 
Engine cylinder 12i -inch bore. 24-inch stroke. 
Fly-wheel 10 feet in diameter, lS-inch face. 
Grindstone and all tho fixtures aro propoHed by 
steam, oven to the milroad car to take the lum- 
ber from (he mill back to Jhe yard. They are 
prepared to saw large timber, which they have in 
great abundance, and close nt hand. They cot 
100,000 feet so near the log-way, as not to ose 
a team to get the lo^s into the mill. This mill 
company raiso wheat, potatoes and hay, have 
good gardens, some Iruit whiott does well up in 
these mountains; and if tho farmers would go 
up to Smith, Dudley & Co.'s mill, and get some 
of their good lumber, make a few good fences, 
and abandon their old ditcb, dag, and v>atdi 
a greater degree of harmony woold pro- 
mcb more grain bo grown and less stock 
harmed. 

Prom this I went to tho floorishittg town of 
Coultervillc. Here I found a good Hotel, for- 
icrly kept by Geo. W. Coulter, and now by Mr. 
J. W. Porter and wife. This is a first-class house; 
good meals, good beds and no gambling allowed, 
not oven tho simplest games. This is most posi- 
tively b good place for the weary traveler to stop 
»t; all quiet and everything as it should be. for 
a traveler's home, I am pleased to say thai Mr 
P. gave mo his name for the F*bm», also (he

I' Ilia night with a young bachelor who wi 

tc Kith a neighboring lassie, 'fliers was a 

rod of bis present who was joking him about

Tithing; but at length be came oot like* a

he would give the world to gel her. 

'■Sow," said I, ''if you will follow' my adric 
I'll insure you to get her." 

"Tell us what you would advise," said he, "an 
I will tell you whether I will follow it or no." 

"I have about live thousand dollars, " said ' 
"which I would like to lend out, at flee per ceo 
per month, interest. If you will borrow tbi 
money, give your friend hero on tbo note, and do 
just as I tell jou with it, if you don't get the girl 
I won't charge any interest. And then, I will 
not require yuu to spend more than fuur or Ave 
hundred dollars, at tbo most" 

"Now go it," said bis friend. "If you don't have 
lo spend moro than that, and won't let it run 
more than six months, 1 Kill sign the note." 

"Block out tho course that I am to follow," 
said the lover, "ami I'll give yon an answer." 

"In the first place," said I, ,: lake about three 
hundred, and buy a buggy ; for that is an iudis- 



Sntibath, and tako her to church ; "but," said I,

One Saturday evening, last winter, I bad gut

might wash the scholars, and another where tbe 
operaliou of washing, would make a tidy

(old that teachers aro not allowed to re- 
sort to corporeal punishment to enforce obedi-

marches around the schoolroom with a raw hide 
over his shoulder, crying cm, at Baed intervals, 
"silence 1" ' silence !" in a deep bass voice, calcu- 
lated io slriko tenor in every little listener,

confirmed by tbe peculiar comical twist on somo 
of the juvenile faces, when his back was presented. 
Of course, it is necessary, that tho little Young 
Americans should understand, lhat thefesr of tho 
red is the beginning of wisdom. 

I was much pleased with tho few recitations I 
beard at tbo High School. Mr. Hill seems de- 
termined to make bis pupils thorough in what 
tbey do learn. Mr. Wells has tho plcasantest

with tbe appearance of Mrs. Young's school. I 
bad nooppurtunily of observing the advancement 
of her pupils, except in reading ; in which depart- 
ment they aro deserving 1 credit; especially, as 
it is a branch too often neglected. 

In my visit to tho schools 1 bavo been sur 
prised throughout with the entire absence of il

thus, by these cheap and slmpl/ means could the

Fourth of July In Napa. 

StT/. OiTT.Joly6.I8S7. 
Scar F*eiuek: I Lko too term, whilo address- 
ing jour valuable journal j for what also should I 
call in advocate of the interests of tbo industrious, I 
toiling, cnergclji:, enterprising laborer, of all pui 
■nits and every grade, but a faithful, unfaltering 
friend. Yes sir, there is no ona perhaps in tho 
State of California, who bis more critically 
-sorted tlio course puraued by tho Farmer, than 
four humble servant. Aye! sir, jou will bear 
me witness that, I have been with fan from the 
beginning, a faithful rt-ader of your Journal. And 
L I can safely assert, without tha fear of successful 
I contradiction, that jour course has been marked 
I with unmittukublc signs of self abnegation. 

Very unlike thocourso pursued by an unfortu- 
I Qlte few, who, like the doctor and tho lawyer, 
I their very existence dependsupon tho misfo 
of their fallow men; if men are prospei 
healthy and peaceable, they must starve, 
qniet breeze of tho happy atmosphere of human 
prosperity soon fins them far away i 
Lethe (though gentle in its nature), wrecks them 
Upon the fatal rock of oblivion, and they shame- 
fully sink beneath the wares of forgo [fulness.

who set themselves up to reform mankind by 
pitching into everybody and every thing indiscrim- 
inately, claiming for themselves the title of the 
only Irue moral ptrceptar, Thk Great Allhbe- 

IVcll, indulgent reader, you must bo getting 
tired of this theme ; so I will now take up the 
subject of tho Glorious Fourth of July, as it 
passed off in tho quiet little village or Napa. 

Tho morning was lovely, and as soon as [be 
sun made its first appearance, it was greeted by 
tbo Bring of the usual national salute, and a mag- 
nificent American Slar-ipangUd Banner was 
majestically waving at tho top of the Liberty 
Polo on the plaza. Tho brass Laud accompany- 
ing Rowe's Pioneer Circus passed through tho 
principal streets and halted in front of tho Revere 
Houso on the plaza, and there mode tbo welkin 
ring with tbo favorite national air, Yankee Doo- 
dle. As tbe day advanced, tho streets became 
crowded with living patriotic citizei 
parts of Ibis and adjoining counties, 
appropriately celebrate tbu cightr-fl 
Eary of American Independence. 

At eleven o'clock, in conformity with preri 
announcement, atl assembled at (be large t 
brick warehouse of Grimes & Co. at tbo foot of 
Third strccl, where tbe largi audience was enter- 
tained two honrs and a half, as follows: 

Declaration of Independence, read 'by R. T. 
Montgomery, which was delivered in a olear and 
wry artistic manner. Mr. Montgomery is an 
elegant reader, 

Then followed an Oration by Henry Edgerton. 
which was a splendid affair. Mr. Edgerton ha, 
fine oratorical paners; Ml tpeech -aai perti- 
nent to the subject, metltodicalty arranged in 
all ill part,, and elegantly embellished with the 
beauties of language, and was pronounced with, 
eloquence. A Poem was then read by Dr. Eat™, 
Tho Napa Brass Band was in attendant 
with their music added greatly to the tut

We nut throw ourselves upon "* generosity of 
onrfriendi for the delay of this number of our 
journal, ond for the nonappearance of several arti- 
cles, which are reserved for the next issue. Our 
own overtasked mind and body, and severe illness 
of the lost wok. ond a press of matter continent 
upon a very largo correspondence, wo offer as an 
apology. , 

Wo havu eommuni cations on band from "Luna, 
from "Clara Wildwood," "Silvio," "Elliot," "C. A. 

S.," "Author of , Ac," "Laura," and do 

merous former contributors, and several new 
friends— all welcome. Our letters ore so many, 
and our duties so laborious, we pray our rricnus 
will not think we intentionally neglect them, ir 
Providence permits, wo hope to have aid in oar 
labors, and then we will do more for all. 

A valuable address on Female Education, re- 
cently delivered at Sanla Bow, we shall lay before 
our readers at an early day. 

A valuable letter from a lady on Bear River, 
"H. B, S." will appear neit week. 

Valuable letters from the East, upon the Best 
Blood Slock of the country— their price, Ac, will

Volume Eight 
Seven times six moons have pissed away 
since we penned the first article in which we 
addressed the readereof IhoUAuronNiA F*hmer, 
and seven volumes of oor journal have been bid 
before Ihcm, each one, we trust, as good and as 
acceptable if not belter than the list. 

To those of our patrons who joined us at the 
beginning of our labors, and who have continued 
with os, and we can number a goodly bosl, to 
such we lender our grawful thanks and cordiil 
greeting, as we enter this our Eioiith Volume, 
and trust we shall bale their continued favor and 
kindly support and influence, that wo may, by 
such aid. make each succeeding volume better 
than the last. 

To those who have joined us at each succeed- 
ing volume, to all who have joined us, or have 
given us eneouragement by their patronage, wo 
tender most grateful (hanks) and to the many 
who, by kindly words of cheer to us, personally, 
and by their generous and friendly influence 
among their friends, have aided us in this great 
enterprise we say, God bless yoo '. we are indeed 
grateful and will try to deserve your good will, 

Few, very few ot tbo readers of our journal can 
have any conception of tbc anxiety, (oil, and 
weariness which it is (he lut of an editor and 
publisher of a newspaper to endure ; and notone 
of tho many thousand readers of the FiHMtncjn 
over form an adequate idea of tbo amount of 
sacrifice, of toil and tubor, physically, or llie 
wear of mind as well as body which has been re- 
quired of us to commence, build up, and sustain, 
through a period of nearly foor years, the journal 
which wo have the pleasure to present to them 
under the name of the CaLifObnia Fahhch. 

Were it not for an Innate love of Nature, for (ho 
beautiful in Nature, as revealed to us by Ihe 
great fcience of Agriculture ; were it not (bat wo 
were coasclous (hat wo had accomplished, and 
were accomplishing good for the land of oar 
adoption, by laboring to reveal (he wonderful re- 
sources of this glorians State, wo should long era 
this have fainted by the nay; but wo foresaw ih. 
work wo had to do ; we knew, beforehand, (hat 
it must he up-hill work: we knew tbat years of 
toll, care, anxiety, repeated trials and disappoint 
mcnls would be ours to endure; hut this did no 
discourage us. We had an abiding faith that th 
causo of Agriculture woold one day be the great 
caoso of California, and of her citizens; and 
although tbo great maEaofthc people should took 
coldly upon it then, the day was not far distant 
when a new era would dawn npon (his fair land 
when fields of golden grain would wave in many 
thousand valleys; when orchards of luscious 
fruit would meet us at every turn, and when 
hillsides; would bo as fragrant with the btossot 
the grape as tho vine-clad hills of France. 

Wilb an earnest and relying faith, we v 
willing to toll on, (rosting to tbc goodness of oar 
cause, and the sustaining power of the intelligent, 
the wise and the good (hat we should not fail or 
our reward finally ; and (o the intelligent, to the

If nny argument were ue,..l.j (o prove tbc

tho oreolion of two large tire-proof briok ware- 
houses, capable of holding seven thousand tons 
of grain boyond tho amount housed lost year,

Hostt W.irjon Loads. 

The annexed letter from our correspondent L, 
wo cheerfully publish, as wo arc glad to have all 
such facts. The immense loads of grain and 
beans that are often seen drawn by tha Me lieani 1 
teams are wonderful, and we intend, ere long, to 
present such teams in engravings. Our friends 
In Stockton will have no objection to any trial of 
strength, either by single or double teams, and 
wo presume such trials of skill will be had tin , 
year at tho Slate Pair at Stockton, to give all a 
chance, and show who can do most : 

EniTOHB FaniHEn: In your issue of Jono, 
5th, yon mako mention of floe teams and their' 
loads, and many papers throughout tho Slate, and, 
I may say, tho Eastern Stales, also copy, and con- 
sequently Stockton is par excelttnee the City o 
Dig Teams and Heavy Loads, 

Believing yoo act in a spirit of fairness in pub- 
lishing the facts, and not wishing to "extenuate 
or aught tot down in malice," nor yet take from 
the teamsters of Stockton ono jot or tittloof their 
good uamo, I will mention a fun facts (some ol 
which came under my own observation, and 
others I secured from reliable parlies) in relation 
to Sue teams and big loads, in California and 
elsewhere. 

The team you make particular mention o r , con- 
sisting of eight mull-:., which drew twenty-ono 
thousand pounds, and the value— team ond 
wagon, $8000; toad, §750— must bo A No. 1 in 
Slockton. Good ! Now, I have seen seventeen 
thousand pounds upon one wagon, and one of (he 
old Santa Fe stripe at that, tho owner or which, I 
will venturo Lo say, never heard of "Lambert's 
Patent Axle Grease," nor of any other grease 
(although a Greaser himself), to judge by Ihe 
sound as it lumbered along, drawn by two psirs 
of Spanish oxen yoked by the horns. Tho load 
consisted ot white beans, nnd tho market value nt 
that time was S1360. A portion of the road was 
through the sandy streets ot Oakland. Slill bet- 
ter drawing than the above was dona by s pair of 
horses, and by pulling (hem separately, whilst 
building n lock upon the Oneida river, in tho 
State of New York. One horse of tho (cam drew, 
upon a stone-boat, a lockstono weighing Jour 
tons, nearly a rod, winning a bet of one thousand 
dollars. The pair would draw, upon a wagon, 
about the Stockton (cam's load. 

What will our Eastern friends think of a single 
toad of beans of such a valoa? 1 say not a 
word about the "value of tho team and wagon." 
"Handsome is that handsome does." !.. 



California Apples,

Eurroiu FAitMKn ; Ono year ago lost Jann- 
ary, I planted an Orchard, comprising various 
kinds of fruit trees. Apples being a favorite 
fruit with me, I concluded to plant a varioty of 
apple trees, notwilhstnnding some of my friends 
urgently soliciting mo to Ihe contrary, assigning 
for their reason the orronious argument tbat 
California *ns not adapted to the growth of 
Apple*. 

T selected Tram the nursery of Smith & Wiii-

which are nearly all in boariag at present. I

Wo hare received two communications, re-

each so beautifully appropriate lo our theme, we 
publish them in this connection for this depart-

The lines in prose pay a very noble and beau- 
tiful tribute (o California, and show bow deep a 
hold our climoto has upon those who can apprc- 
ciato-lhe beautiful in nature. 

Ibo poetic lines by V. V. will also Sod a re-

Allien to Calif ernia. 
Adieu, blessed California 1 around my spirit 
steals a bright imago of the past. Thy ( 
Sunset and Iby gorgeous twilight may visit 
mere; (by hills and vales wilt echo ne'er 
with my returning footsteps; but my sol 
bear their impress with undying memory, and 
the heart grow holier for the wisdom thou bast 
laugh L In fancy's won deriugi I will return, and 
my loici haunts revisit. Again I'll climb the 
mountain's misty brow, and gaze will) rapture on 
Ihy lowering hills, thy fertile valleys and thy 
teeming earth, disclosing (tenders ; and wilh awe 
"re. Ihy greatness and thy g! 
riily arrayed. I'll seek thy 
bold communion with notuto; stray along toy 
wandering streams and listen to their laughing 
marie; rest awhile where mountains rise like 
holy loners towards heaven; where oiks of giant 
growth rear their majestic heads, thi 
limbs, glorious m beauty, clothed with verdant 
foliage; tbtn hie lo some sequestered spot where 
Doners spring up unbidden, bloom and i 
gathered ; where the tiny rill babbles it 
ending song of glee, and the quiet shades 
qcent with nature's poesy. Fain would 
hero as in happier hours, and heal the saddened 
heart with the soothing balm of memory. 

Away ! my spirit leads to yon tall cliff upon 
whose InRy peak the lonely redwood sways its 
feeble trunk: the granito precipice froni whose 
diary hight comes dashing tho while foam of

him that hath adrcitn Ult a dream." With your 
permission I will tell my dream : Who, of oil 
your numerous readers nod correspondents, will 
reveal Iho interpretation thereof? 

Lo I in my dream a vast city of marble palat 
Stood upon the margin of on inland sea. Masai 
granilo structures, enduring as tho ages, rose su 
limely ahovo those noble plies, pointing lh( 
minarets and spiics tonard Heaven. Grand old 
trees, where centuries had chronicled their years, 
spread their protecting arms around and above, 
o'eiorchiiig its broad avenues wilh living verdure. 
Across tbe eapansa of water, In retnute per- 
spective, primal forests stretched far away to tho 
north and the south, losing themselves in the- 
deep bloo or tho distant boriion. Thriving vil- 
lages were grou|wd at intervals amid tbelr open- 
ings, relieving (bo dense shade in the background 
of the charming picture, nod suggesting thoughts 
of quiet home-delight amid the cool and refresh- 
ing haunts of Nature. 

The light which illumined llie scene, was not 
of the sun, or of the moou, neither was it Ibo 
inspiring light of the morning, nor the trsuquil- 
izing hue of the evening twilight; but a soft, 
clear, and serene emanation, through which the 
eye could ponetrale immensity of space, unwearied 
with gazing. It was a light which scintillated 
through tho soul, liko "the still, small voice" of 
the infinite Father, leaving a holy calm upon the 
spirit, and a deep and beautiful repose upon the' 
landscape. Tbo bush of noon was in the lucid 
atmosphere, tho noon nf a subdued summer's 
day ; and yet tho thoroughfares of that vast city 
were filled with crowds of human beings, who' 
walked slowly ami thoughtfully beneath the shade 
of those grand old trees. And as they walked 
they turned silently, at intervals, to look back' 
upon tbe path they had trod, and, thence, for- 1 
ward into the distance with an earnest, cspeclanti 
gaze, as if watchful of a coining ovent. And the 
windows of the marblo palaces wore filled with 
the same earnest, espectaut faces; and groupsof, 
men and women stood upon porticos and balco- 
nies, watching. And the city, and tho sea, am 
tho woods, with intervening villages, and tbi 
bending heavens which lovingly embraced then 
all, wore the satno expectant expression; it wen 
as if the material world bad caught t ho lono o 
Ultimate nature, and harmonized with it in I 
sublime and absorbing auticipation of the future 
T stood with others upon a lofty balcony vrhict 



self, and I have jot much lo accomplish before 
my departure to that sphere." 

"If yon are not a spirit," I responded, "how 
coold you possibly assume tho form of an Eagle7" 
At Ibis inquiry, the beautilul bird moved a 
littlo In advance of me, end, shaking its rich 
plumage until tho long sweeping feathers fell in 
skirt-like folds around, turned upon mc ft look of 
deep significance as it answered: "/ cuiumed it 
by the potter of a hioiiti* WILL;" and thou, 
gathering upitsdiaping robe, and spreading Its 
broad pinions, it soared away. 

I was suddenly awakened by a voles repeating 
fn iny car: "The dream is o leason for yoor in- 
struction." Again 1 inquire, Who will interpret 
my dream 1 - SEnCNa.

huge one. No wonder the majority of women 

shrink at the bare idea. Tubs obliged lo assume

Educate woman and she will bo the equal. 

unt, as Iho writer so eloquently urges-woman 

must have health of body „ prvp J for ^"T 

propriete education ; and It Is a lomentablo truth 

thatwobave few women whoenjoy perfec. health, 

and. by reason of a false education, Ihe race of

hands almost touch Iben

right, the duty, u> have health ; and, of course, to 
sustain such oxloroal relalious a* are the con- 
ditions of health. Oh I if woman could know 
what bounding, vigorous hcahh i ; , ivhiii /■hytic-i! 
ecstaey there is to be healthful, in comfortable 
dress, pure air and sunshine, out-door Borft, 
simple food, rest, sleep— if -liu could realize how 
ill health enfeebles the mind and wrinkles the 
heart, bow it makes her selilsh, unloving, un- 
gentle, and unenduring — could she but catch a 
glimpse of woman with all her faculties health- 
fully developed — elastic and vigorous In body, 
in person, loving and self-sacrificing, 
art, true to her instincts, clear in her 
intellect, and strong in high purpose* — couldeach 
individual realize ta.it this it, her ri s ht, and hence 
her duly, what an up-heaving and ovor-turning 
_ ould there be of society's cusloms ! Greater 
ibu if the law should bo passed to-morrow in 
cry Slate lhat women shall vote and boldoffico, 
id in all things bo just equal to man. Greater 
ian ony change that huiimn Inns coold make, 
because ibo change would be in woman herself. 
Id no longer lead an io-door life, either 
;, or seeking her ease and pleasure, bo- 
ngs organized as we are cannot live 
naturally and healthfully iu doors. She would 
~nd time and ways to prepare food simply and 
li'ik.-i.nioly, to keep the house pleasant, and lo 
isko Ihe clothing comfortable, but fAieicauld get 

ic same ease and freedom ss man. She would 
> lo bod al the beginning or ibe night, and riso 
. tho beginning of Hid day. She would bo 
mplo in her dress, her diet, all her wanla, and 
instantly strive to maintain equanimity of tem- 
■r, .uui dim-h.-ineuerous, charitable and thank- 
l spirit. Then her physical regeneration would 
i begun. 

I know woman likes lo excuse herself from 
arae for her lack of health, nnd charge il to 
an. She says. " tho universal feebleness or wo- 
an is the result of excessive maternity." Too 
uch (rath— too crushing lnlt l,, i, tlij a \ Bui it

Tho commcroorotiio Colouration of tho Bsttlo 
of Bunker Hill attracted more attention than 
baa been given to it since the layinff of tho 
oorne-r stone, by Lafayette. A general 
Biiam proTnilod- TnoGoveraoraof many States 
wsre presont. and tbo groat tnussos of tho pc- 
p!« gave their wbolo hearts to tho day. Tl 
military were out in great nntODMSi tho Ml

Large fires have occurred iu Msiichcsl>

Portions of the Eastern Stotee uro deficient 
in their groin crops, whita other States on 
having heavy crops. There is evidence, bow- 
over, that grain will command good prices this 
fall, both in Iho Eastern States t 
which will make it a profitable bi 
to ship our grain tbenoe. 

Favor* Receive".— Wa hove been placed 
under obligations to our friends tba past 
weeks, by numerous favors, even more than

remembrances for the glorious Fonrth; ■ 
conia not accept ail their invitations, nnd so i 
to favor ono over the other, wo spent Iho day 
home, among our children, and was happy. To 
our friends at Napa, and at Pc latum*, for theii 
pprcial Invite, we tender many thanks. 

To L.Provost, of San Jose, for a bor of superb 
Hose*, that camo at tbo opportune moment- 
many thanks. His Geant dea batallies and 
Madam Prodao, wore very superb Hoses; also 
Cloth of Gold, Baron Provost and Madam Laf- 
fay. Provost's Garden is tbo place for visitors, 
at San Jose. 

To Mr. G. G. Gardner, of Green Springs, for 
those superb Apples, our beat thanks. (9< 
letter.) 

To Mr. F. C. CoggBuBll, of Oakland, ol 
thanks for a splendid sheaf of Voluoteor Borloy,

very heavy. 

Samples of Borax and of Snlpbi 
looted to ati by L. Sqnibb, Esq., of Napa, 
to whom we owo many thanka- They were 
from the Geysers, and are handsome specimens. 
Mr.S. showed us the map of tho territory where

map is a handsome one, Tbe mines wore dis- 
covered first by Dr. Veatcfa.

Fanning on the Tuolumne. 
Editor.'! F-iiuieb: As the season advances, for 
(be Ingathering of (be crops, we have reports, 
through your valuable journal, of the yield in the 
virions sections ofthe Stale. From these reports 
we gather, that the yield varies as widely as the 
distance. In some it appears the drought has af- 
fected (he Crops utmost to a failure, whilo in others, 
wehear of somelbingnboveanaircragoyield. Tak- 
ing it all together, wo arc led lo believe that the 
presmt is a fiir average crop. Also, through the 
medium of the Faemkii, tie have, laid before, us, 
the manner in which (ho lands of California arc 
cultivated. And here, again, we sec as great a 

exptet different modes of cultivation, where (he 
soil differs So much as it does in this State, 
From some wo bear of a uniform success, one year 
nfier another; with others it varies, aud from 
Others, (till, we hear nothing but complaint; a 
continual want of success, year after year. Or 
this latter class, we, hero on the Tuolumne, must 
reluctantly admit that we form a largo propor- 
tion ; and my idea, in writing this communica- 
tion, is (o find, if possible, the cause— whether 
it be in (he season, the soil, or the system pur- 
sued by us in farming our lands. As tho sea- 
sons are very nearly the same throughout Cali- 
fornia, I need say nothing of them. As to tbo 
soil, I see but little difference between that on 
Ibis river, and the Stanislaus. Merced and other 
streams in this part of tho State. But as we 
hare adopted a system pecotiar to tho farmers on 
the Tuolumne, 1 shall explain it as nearly as pos- 
sible, and let you judge if tho fault is there. 

Wu set out with tbo proposition that land is 
cheap, and labor dear ; therefore, it is policy (o 
cultivate the greatest breadth of land possible, 
With the least possible amount or labor. We 
commence, by plowing our land from two to four 
inches deep— no deeper — it saves tho team, aud 
wear and tear of plow and harness, besides get- 
ting over a large surface in a very short time. 
On this wo sow grain broadcast, and harrow with 
ft. brash drag (which costs nothing). Wo* cut, 

dies, but never bind. At some convenient linio, 
wo haul and throw in a pile, and wail lor- tho 
thresher- Sometimes it happens that tho horses, 
cattle, and bogs get to it ; bat this mikes liitlu 
difference, as they require no other attention or 
;, whilst engaged On tho gi 



the Inr 






ore thai 



old a 



i.vL.iiiiit. 



o sustain by tho animals. 
x weded, wo let it volurltcer 
saving a great amoont or 
labor and seed. We also consider it all fully, to 
go to the ejpen-c of buying cedar posts and pine 
boards to fence with, when a ditch, with a little 
brush, or forks and poles, will answer the pur- 
pose. Stock does not trouble us, while tho grass 
is good oulside, and, by tho time that is dried np, 
Ibey cannot destroy enough to pay for fencing, 
We hare been accused ul fencing with dogs; but 
Ibis charge I deny in fofo. Why, sirs: by a 
careful enumeration or tbo dogs On this river, 
if La Grange to tho San Joaquin, 
it ennugb lo fence

We bate neither luonoy, houses, barns, stables,

Up temporarily, when we settled here. That 

■jura are exceptions (0 tbe above 1 admit, but 

I Ibey nre few and far between. 

There In a difference of opinion between myself 
Jnd wife, in regard to farming ; hut as shu is a 
Down-Easigr, and I hail from the "Sunny South," 

■Ucooraa I strongly suspect her of "larikoe No- 
ra! Inrclaliou thereto. Wuhavo agreed, how- 
ever, to lay „ur diliui.-nt views before you, and 

^pdayaur decirfon. illno you have already; 
pM are hers. They are, briefly, as follows- 

npuvnrj less land, plow deep, manure, subs.il 
{""'and roll, fence good at any cost, provide 

■£» Worn, stables, outhouses, Ac.; plant a„ 

BWMil, vines, garden and flowers, keep cows 

P Chickens, and instead of riding o.or the 
Wnntry, «- ln lc[ ., a . C(] |n ^ ^ ^ 

Wfel with iron, slay at homo and attend lo the 

f *m U> person. There, you nav* the idea j bow 



dues it suit you 7 For my pari I don't like it. 
I'm down on "picayune ranching." It has no 
name; it don't sound. Everybody has heard of 
(he sir hundred acres farmed by my right hand 
neighbor, the Squire ; but who has lizard of tbo 
fifty of my left hand neighbor, the .Deacon, al- 
though be may manure, subsoil, il.i. And if bo 
should raise more on one acre than wo do on four, 
who knows it? 

You will discover that, by our system, vru 
avoid all 'useless expense in fanning. Still we 
are unsuccessful; and as wo consider you tho 
highest authority in the State, any suggestions 
you may offer will bo. highly appreciated, at least 
by yonr borablo correspondent, Ben Bo

Editors Fansicn: Tho Fourth or July, the 
day which is yearly welcomed by orcry true 
patriot, passed by with a warm welcome ; jet wo 
bnd no general celebration, except a few parties 
of pleasure held on the night of tho third and 
morning of the fourth, so as do| v lo intrude on tho 
Sabbath. On Saturday, tho Fourth, friends 
gathered together in small parties to exult in 
their National In )c pen deuce, and all passed off in 
a pleasant way, without drunkenness Or dis- 

On Tuesday morning, 30tb Jens, bad quite a 
shower of rain, and ..n Wednesday morning, at 6 
o'clock, (lie rain began tu roll, and continued lo 
fall copiously until 12 o'clock, doing damage lo 
tho slock range in the way of bleaching the feed ; 
also, the hay was much damaged on (he moun- 
tains in the vicinity of Smith, Dudley & Co.'s mill. 
On the Merced river the raiu was mare severe 

The farmers arc still thrashing their wheat and 
barley, and it turns out better than was expected 
at tho time of harvest. 

Previously, I have staled to you and your 
readers that I used blueslono on my wheal for 
seed, one-fourth of a pound to each bushel, in 
Order to prevent smut. This accomplished the 
desired object. I take Ono pound of bluestono 
and dissolve in warm water; then a sufficient 
quantity of water (o cover four bushclsof wheal, 
and mix fo tho bluestono ; then put in the four 
bushels of wheat, and let it remain twelve hours; 
(hen place the wheat on a floor nnd dry with 
good lime, and sow at i^oon as possible. Here let 
me say, through your valuable paper, to (he 
farmers of California, if thoy will make ono 
[borough (rial oo their wheat and it does not pre- 
vent smut, I will gire up my reasoning, yet will 
not abandon my experiments. Wherein I havo 
made the application I havo always been success- 
ful; and on that part of my field that was not 
washed as stated above, T had a good supply of 
smnt. Now is the time to prepare for seeding. 
Sow early, sow good seed, and no fear of famine. 
I am now planting my crop, and bopo to get 
through before the Fair at Stooklon. 

I. D. Mohley. 

Many (hanksfor (he valuable information ; and 
mo3t grateful are wo for tbo goncrous interest 
manifested for our journal. If all our friends 
would do but hair as much as our friend of La- 
Grange, wo would giro lo them each volume 
better and bolter, until it should reach the highest 

An Examplo for Callfomln. 

A College of Agriculture bus been established 
in Ifirmlgan, with the munificent endowment of 
$56,000. By tbo reports of their Board, which 
we hove received, we uotice thai tbe Farm is com- 
posed of 700 acres; and that in addition to the, 
first grants, tbo, Legislature of the Slate granted' 
within the last two years, 320,000. To this Col- 
lege, students are admitted free ; thoy are called 
upon, however, lo labor three hours each day, to 
advance tbe practical part of the Instilullou; , 

■Where are the Legislators of California? 
Would it not be better for our Stale to have the 
time of Legislators spent in legislating how lo 
erect Colleges, instead of.Prisons? <_iiu- full eu- 
cooragement to Industry, and men are kept from 
crime. "Idleness is the mother of crime." 



Who wiU bo rJieP'onouSUk Manufacturer - 
That California will ono Hay bocomo cele- 
brated for tho manufacture uf Silks and Satins, 
nnd rich Brocades, wo havo no doubt Tho 
rapid growth of tho mulberry, tho peculiar Stc 
ness of the climate, being ho long dry and a, 
pom atmosphere, which gives n gloss to the 
silk, those furls, mid. 'J tu ll>,< lii^-h temperature 
and total absence of dniupne-n and frosts far so 
long a period, must prore highly bcnofioiol to 
tho increase of tho silkworm and Iho success 
of such an enterprise, and wo hopo to sen that 
branch started era long. 

By recont advices from Europe, tvo learn that 
no increasing attentioa is being paid to this 
subjeot. Tho worms are. leaving their cocoons 
in France, nt last dales, and although soma 
fears were imterlaiued by reason of frosty 
weather, thus fur no losses had occurred. In 
Spain nnd Italy, the worm? had passed their 
second stage tho present year, nnd tbe prospect 
is moro favorable than the ln.it. While we nolo 
the alarm iu Europe, caused by frosty weather, 
wo ennnpt hut see hotv much morn fuvorahlu 
our climate is for thu nlkworm; and wo hope 
thesn facts in favor of California, may awaken 
attention to thin subject in the minds of some 
enterprising man ui men, who will start success- 
fully the manufacture of Silk.

Tbo Grain Crop. 



r State, county by 
county, cornea tho news of an abundant crop. If 
we Should except Oolusi, and perhaps Yolo, or a 
part of it, oil other sections of the StalO will havu 
a largely increased crop ; for whilo tome farmer, 
tnay have a less crop Ihau previous years, a 
greater nutnher of farmer, barn been tilling the 
soil, and o greater number of acres have bceh cul- 
tivated. Wo believe the crop of Wheat will ea- 
ceed tho post year by 25 to 33ptr cent, nnd the 
crop of Barley by 40 to 60 per cent, ; and it will 
be (mud, also, that the quality of tho Wheat, the 
present year, is more full and plamp, especially 
that sown upon new laud or laud that has been, 
(allowed the past year, a* well as upon land that 
has been eubsuded. 



This Grape was raised from seed by E. W. Bull, 
of Concord, Mass., and is from our Native Stock 
the Vitii Labrusca. It has all the hardy and 
robust character of lhat family of grapes, nnd 
of large size, excellent iu flavor, and beautiful 
appearance. It is a prodigious bearer, aud would 
probably reach a greater sire, and bo still 
beautiful in California. The Concord Grape 
makes n fine wine, with a most agreeable ni 
and would reach u high quality iu tho climate of 
California. It is growing in Canada, Nova Scotia, 
Wiwonsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Oregon, e(o.," and is 
perfectly hardy everywhere.

Somebodv must begin— who will bo tho luoky 
man? for it in certain tho di:y is near at hunfl, 
when thousands of tons of Beet Sugar will be 
manufactured in California. Wo havo repeat- 
edly stated tho fact, that iiro crops of BeeW can 
bo raised hero annually, and there is plenty of 
proof that wo can ruiso forty and fifty tons per 
acre— that ia twice and thrico tbe quantity that 
can bo raised in other parts of the world— and 
with two crops, wo raise four mid sii times as 
much. 

When the consumption of sugar is taken into

Grain Warehouses, 

Ohe of the mo3t important duties which the 

grniu-growers of the several counties oivo to them- 

ves, is to unite together, and erect fire-proof 

rehouses in their several districts. A vast 

mant uf money would thus bo saved lo each 

grower, lo each county, and to our Blule. With 

sach a provision, tho grain-grower could becoma 

rn factor; he could havo bis grain, the pr*

For years wo nitrogen and helioved fihowoutd 
Occupy a comminding position before the world. 
Wa believed she would not only influence the old 
SUlci, bnt Europe, by reason of her granaries; 
and u early as January, 1854, we nude use of 
tho following:" Wo lice in this State the promise 
of future greatness. We see that this State Is 
destined to be the groat granary of our nation, 
II may bo destined of God, if rightly underwood 
ind appreciated, to he the source of supply when 
other portions of our beloved country may be in 
want." Such were our views then, such una our 
Tiews now. We do believe that California must 
become one of tbo greatest grain markets of the 
world, and the source ofsupply for many nations 
of the earth ; and the remarks of Our valued cor- 
respondent B. are in foil accordance with our own.

them, oshering in bis advent with booming gnus, 
fire crackers, and the shouts or sundry noisy ur- 
chins, who are wide awako before daylight, to be 
ready for '•training day." Few would believe 
that June was here, if it were not lor the almanac 
and tbo daily papers, that keep them posted as to 
the day of the week and month. 

The season thus Tar has been cold and rainy, 
though we hate had a fen- warm days, and vege- 
tation has then grown by " forced marches." The 
crops, bowcvir, in many sections of country are 
said to be looking finely, while In others they will 
be nearly a total failure. Fruits arc said to be 
abnndant,gcncMlly,innll tbogreal fro it-growing 
regions, and all anticipate a good lime during the 
peach season. 

In the western part of Michigan many persons 
have died from starvation during tbo present 
spring; also in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, 
where many hod the money, but could git no 
food for it. Indeed family markclingin this city, 
in nearly every particular, is now as cipcnsiveas 
in San Francisco, and, what is discouraging, year- 
ly it is becoming worse and worse. You can pro- 
duce enough in your Stale to furnish large sup- 
plies for tho Atlantic slope, undersell the dealers 
here, and make a large profit. I have no doubt 
that California u ill, at no distant day, become the 
great regulator of the price of food for the supply 
of the world. Sow, when breadstuffs are higher 
in Europe thin here, largo shipments are imme- 
diately made from our ports, wbicb, of course, 

At such lime;, if California, with a large surplus 
on hand, would throw all, or a portion of it, Into 
the market, s he could well afford to undersell the 
speculators here and elsewhere, and, in this way, 
at all times keep prices down, tier g aid now 
roles the financial world, and soon her ogricol- 
tnral products will regulate the grain markets Of

anaon'a Machine for Digging Potatoes. 

Mn. J. Danhoh, farmor.ofDoagh, Belfast, has 

-ently introduced an apparatus to be used for 
digging or removing growing potatoes from the 
for the ordinary hand fork, 
tbo object being the more rapid and economical 
removal of the root. 

Tbo implement consisls of a light, open timber 
frame, supported on four running wheels, the 
ion of tbo main axle being applied to the 
idgofan arrangement of rotary digging forks, 
s drown by a pair of horses attached to a 
Iransvcrjo bar. at the end or the fraruu opposite 
tho forks, connection being similar lolhat usually 
adopted in Ihc common plow. The ond trans- 
projects at one side, and serves as a 
handle for turning, the machine at tho headlands. 
Tho front pa.fr of running wheels, next the hncses. 
aro. ,of largo diameter, and are furnished witb 
radial spikes on their peripheries, so as to hi 
firm hold upon the ground in revolving, anil thus 
provido sufficient resistence for tbo fork -driving 
action. The main ailo, revolving with these large 
running wheels, curries, a toothed bevel wheel, in 
gear wilh a bevel pinion fast on the forward end 
ofahoril0nL.il -hilt supported in bearings in tho 
centre of the hind purl of ihe frame. The op. 
posits end of this shift projects slightly at the 
extreme rear or the trump, at which part it has 
upon two or more radical rotating forks, which 
of course revolve in a piano at light angles to (hi 
line of the implement path. At tho part of Ihi 
frame immediately behind the small back running 
wheels there Is attached a horizontal plow | 
slightly inclined ou its upper surface, tho 

of which Is just clear of tho foikaas they 
mnd. .This plow piece, which is adjt ■ 
wh itrtically, ( suit ihe depth nf Iho action 
quired, pisses along beneath Iho drill or potaLocs 
deep enough to lift up both the manure and Ibe 
potatoes. In Ibis way, as Ibe monuro and pota- 
toes aro elevated upon tho incline, the rotary ac- 
tion or the fork scullers out Iho potatoes, which 
can bo easily removed. Prevision is msdo for 
allowing one of Hie huge driving wheels in turn 
back, lo facilitate Ihu turning of the implement 
at Iho end of a drill — [Mechanics' (Eng.) Mag.

Soiling Stock. 

So fnr ns I know, soya "A Retired Former" 

a Pennsylvania paper, tbo stook growers ore 

very generally following in Iho footsteps of Heit 

forefathers, by occasionally giving a glinted 

quantity of salt to their stooh. In the samniEr 

tboy ofwn throw it on tho ground, in tba pas. 

i-jind being so starved for salt, tho stack 

will often eat tho ground beenuso of its beiag 

impregnated witb salt, Ono of the greatest «r- 

now practised by our stook growers, is tie 

neglect to givo their stock the requisite nmoant 

It, I should n« soon Ihink of stinting my 

stook with water ns with salt. 

Kj mode of salting for n number of years hai 
been to koop n sufficient quantity of salt in a 
tronp;h in my pastures nnd yards, bo that my 
stock may have free access to it, ond eat of it 
as often as they wish, nnd as much as they wish, 
always keeping up the supply. I think our 
stocki know bettor tban wo do whon tboy want 
salt as they do when they want water, and when 
thoyhsve eoton all tho salt thoy ornvc, they 
will eat no more. "When they bavo grass in tbo 
summer they will cat sail every day. From my 
own esporionco, I am sure that oows will give 
more olid better milk by having froo access lo 
salt than when deprived of it. From my own 
oiperieuco and observation, I have no doubt 
that a great share of tho disease among stock, 
is in consequence of their being stinted with 
salt. Should any of your readers bo disposed 
to give attention to Ibis subjeot, I would caution 
them not to give froo access to salt at once, but 
inorcaso tho quality by degrees for about two 
weeks, otherwise they may be starved for salt 
and cat so much as to injure Ihom. 



Cheap Faint for Houses, eta. 

A correspondent of tho Ohio Farmer gives an 
account of his method of making cheap paint, as 
follows : 

I make a thin sizing of glue and flour, to give 
one coat. This applied, 1 next sift through a 
coarse strainer.a quaatity af water-limo, which I 
then mix with oil and white lead, so thot the 
mixture will be about one-third lead, and apply 
this mixture aa the first coat upon the ailing. 
Wbcn sufficiently dry, a second coat is put on, of 
oil and lead. Tbo last and finishing co.it is wilh 

surface paint, it would ho difficult to find. The 
main body of tho house in 28 feet by 32 feet ; the 
back kitchen is about 20 feet square, and one 
story high. Tbo amount of material used was 
4 pounds of gluo at a cost, uf SO cents ; 3 pounds 
of flour, Scents; 75 pounds while lead, 637 50; 
125 pounds zinc. S12 50 ; tii gallons oil, S' 31 j 
total amount or material, S2S 20. 

1 hove boon thus particular, for Ibe purpose of 
snowing tho economy ofu'slng oil. II I bad not 
first used tho sizing, iho oil would have struck 
into Ibo wood, wilhoul securing Ihe wished for 
benefit; then the walLT-lime ami lead, when dry, 
make a bard, solid surface, which stones and 
mortar will not easily affect, and becomes a com- 
plete preparation to receive Ibo final finish of lead 
or zino, os the choice may bo ; ond which, in my 
Opinion, when lini -tit J 1- pi in ting should bo. will 
provo far more durable than oil and lead applied 
directly to tho surface.

" I will not admit," said Mr. North • that you 
know mything about womtu. You ma; be an 
observer) but yon aro a superficial one. lam 
prepared, however, lo admit that Ibetearcagreal 
many just such women in ibo world as tbo one 
tbat you bare told us of; but ho that says they 
arc all to, is as much out of it, as ho that says 
there are no virtuous women. Both mike up 
their minds from boino striking but isolated cases. 
You are aware, I suppose, that so mo men say that 
there aro no honest men; hut do man Gays this 
who is honest himself. Although I bnve received 
some baron, treatment from my fiilloiv men, yet I 
am not willing to say tbat they arc all cold heart- 
ed and selfish." 

" I have m-vei fnili:'l." i-iiJ tlic peddler, "iDiny 
Calculations: therefore 1 think I am right; and if 
our host here would just say the word, I could 
marry him ..IT in )■.-. than a month." 

" Would you lend mo your money to buy one 
with V said I. 

"Yea," said ho, "I'll lend it to you just as long 
as you want it, and that without interest; and 
I'll bolp yon all I can in the bargain." 

So, now, girls, if you see me cutting a big 
swell around in your parts, jost look out for a 
"sell." But Mr. North promised to tell ua a 
story, so let us listen while bo relates 

Mine- is a sad talc, and I am its bcro. I have 
to assume a great deal of glycly to keep my mind 
from sinking under so great n burden of sadness. 
I hare contemplated suicide, and I contemplate it

But I do not intend to tell you my lalo in a sad

Allboojb, if hero, Ihou wculdit be lott lo me." 

I bad tlie misfortune to be born poor ; and, at 
tho ago Of twelve years, I had the still greater 
misfortune of losing both parents. Thus 1 was 
olono in a world— which some people say is all 
selfishness— but I bad an inclination to work, and 
Mr. Hcndrrck.onoodhc richest men in tboStatc, 
gave mo all tho work 1 could do, and paid ma for 
it; so I was a burden lo no one. Most of tbo 
work that I bad lo do was in Mri. Hendrlck's 
Sower garden ; and tbcre I found the fairest flow- 
er that ever bloomed on earth. 

Mary Ilend rick was tboonly being that seemed 
to sympathise with tho orphan boy. Labor was 
sweet when she sat by and talked to mo. She 
Borer gnt a slick of candy, or anylhing of that 
kind, whan I was tbcre, but she she insisted on 
dividing with me. Mary had n Dower garden of 
her own, and 1 used to go, when my task was 
' done, and help her work her flowers. We wero 
at work In her gaidcn one day, when she said : 

" George, I wish you ltd plenty of money, so 
yoo would not have to w Qr k all tho lime, and 
could go to school with me." 

" Mary," aaid I, laying down my hoe and sit- 
ting down by her; " Mary, I am going to hare

Sbo looked at me, and tho tear- of sympathy 
were in her beautiful black eyes. 

" George," sbo said, " George, can yon Do it!" 

"loan, andleHI," said I, In a decided tone; 
and I felt, that with Mary to sympathise with 
me and share my glory, I could win a name sec: 
ond in the annals of tha world tonono but George 
Washington. 

"Oh! I tell yon," eiclaimed Mary, u what I 
can do 1 You know Pa gives m0 money Tory 
often to boy candy and dolls, and all that sort of 
thing, and I don't «ant them ; so I can jott save 
noney and pin? it to you, and you can- go lo

Inot ibink or that before 7" 
' ' You would not give up all your doll dresses, 
and candy, and your other nice things, just to gut 
me to go to school itilh yoo, would you, Maty J" 

-If my Pa and Ma were dead," Bho said, "and 
I had no money, and I wanted to go to school ; 
and your Pa and Ma were rich, and garo you 
money sometimes, lo buy putty things with, 
would you spend it for the pratty things, or would 
giro it to mo 1" 

Iwonldgivo it to you," said I, "because I 
loio you, and you aro sooh a good girl." 

Well," she said, " I lore yOu too, I believe 
I love you better than Pa and Ma." 

Tow here is a half dollar," abewn lino (il, and" 
at tho samo time handing tho money to me. 
Take this, and I'll get some more soon, and 
directly ire will bare enoogh for you to go to 
school on." 

Mary," said t " I can't take your money. I 

a got a little of my owo ;" and I took her to 

comer or tbc garden and dog op a bag In 

which I had doposited one hundred five cent 

pieces, all of which I had got one at B time. 

» Oh 1" said she, " you can go to school now." 
Why, you have got plenty of money for that." 

"Yes." said I; "I coold pay for schooling, but 
I coold not pay for board." 

Wo saw Mrs. Head rick coming into the gar- 
den, and I again buried my money, and wo went 
to meet her. Mary began to gather flowers, and 
by tha timo wo met her mother she had a One 
bouquet, which she presented to her and said : 

" Jla, I want George to go lo school with me ; 
and if be can pay Mr. Wright for his schooling, 
won't you let him slay here and board." 

"Who would tend tho garden," said Mrs. K. 
"No one else could or would do it as well as 
George," 

" I'll tell you now," said Mary, and she spoke 
wilh animation, ,: what wo can do. Why, George 



aming at 



mill 



school, and tbco como 
home again in the evening and work till night. 
Yes, and I can help him too." 

Mrs, Bcndrick looked at her child In ultcr as- 
tonishment, ibat ono so young (for sho was only 
eleven) coold over hit upon such apian. But she 
told me that 1 might use my pleasure about it. 

Tho next morning I went to school, and went' 
to pay for tho session in advance ; but iho teacher 
told mo it was paid. I asked him who paid it, 
but ho would not tell me. I did not Bod out who 
paid the money for years after, and then I found 
that it was Mary. She had let the old teacher 
into her confidence, and made him promise not 
tell. 

At every elimination I carried otT the prise. 
I wanted Mary to see what I could do ; and she 
always felt prouder at my success than she did at 
her own. Wo often talked of the future, and 
neither of us can recollect when we first agreed 
to gat married. 

People may laugh if they like, at the attach- 
ments of children, but I know that they may be 
as lasting as those or older hearts) In fact, our 
early impressions aro always the mast lasting, 
and our early afl'eclions arc always tbo strongest. 
A man will always love the homo of bis child- 
hood, for no other reason than that bo loved it 
when a boy. A Laplander may roam lo tho green 
fields and sonny cliinolo of Italy ; ho may cvou 
got to OALiroBNia, hut ho will slill lore bis own 
native icebergs, where ho sported in bis youth. 
A man may be born and raised under a despotic 
government, and emigrate in his manhood lo 
America: 'The loud of the free, the home of the 
brare." He will honor and lovo her Tree institu- 
tions, and li necessary lay down bis life lo prO' 
servo them as a legacy lo Ilia children; but he 
will Imi i- the hills and the rocks over which ho 
played in his boyhood,, although a despot sways 
his scepter over Ibein. Then if yoo ask why ho 
does not love despotism also J I have only to say 
tbat a boy's loio of liberty is stronger in any- 
country than tbo man's. But I am wandering 
from my story. 

At the ago or seventeen, an eminent lawyer re- 
quested me to color bis office and study law. 
Even Ibis was Mary's affair, for I afterwards 
found out that she had got Mr. Wrfghl,thoschool 
teacher, to speak to him about it. While in that 
office I studied sixteen hours every day, allowing 
myself five hours fur sleep and three for recrea- 
tion. I knew that Mary expected something 
extra. My preceptor and other older man told 
mo that I would ruin my consli;ution i but Mary 
would kiss me for my efforts, and I would re- 
double them. Can you wonder, that I worshiped 
her. I wanted lo gain honors and wealth for no 
other purpose than to sec ber enjoy them. At 
tbo end or two years from tho timo I entered Iho 
law office, I went before Judge L-, who was the 
strictest examiner in Ibo State, and asked for 
license. He asked mo if I was willing to stand 
a publio examination 7 I replied in Ibo sfBrma- 
llre; and accordingly I had to prepare my cour- 
age to face, not only one Severe btwyor, but the 
whole bar. When the limo came, tha courlhouso 
was crowded; and I don't bollore there was a 



,. fnlih.rm; 



man there that came out ol mere Curiosity ; each 
one wished lo give mo an encouraging smile. I 
saw thifcancl wont through tho examination with- 
out watering; When it was over, I received the 
warm press uro of bundrcda of hands. At that 
same term of tbo court a man was to he tried for 
bis lifo. My preceptor and another eminent law- 
yer were his counsel ; and they agreed to enter 
my name as an attorney in tho case, and putmo 
forward in the examination of the witnesses; 
for if I did not bring out Ihe testimony as it 
should be, why they could como in. Tho main 
wilncss for the Slalo was introduced, 1 saw 
that ho was swearing falsely; and on the cross- 
examination I got excited i I forgot thot I was 
yet a boy. I got after him so closo that ho 
contradicted himself all round. I madea speech 
lo tbo court and impeached him on his owd 
loatimony. The District Attorney entered a 
nolle prosequi, and tho prii 

I now made np my mind t 
I came, nnd but Tew lawyers have had more prac- 
tice than I, I made money Tost ; 1 enjoyed Mary's 
loveond was happy. Butmy fortnno was doomed 
to torn. I got a letter from Mary stating thot 
her father had gone Into some rash speculations 
and was about to fail. She said that ho wasnbout 
crnsy over it, for ho had to raise ten thousand dol- 
lars in less than three months or be sold out at 
sheriff's sale. I had tho money and I scotit; but 
it seems that he did not get it. 

Ono of his creditors, Mr. S-, came Trom New 
York down lo sec him, aud, as be was a bach- 
elor ho fell In lovo with Mnry. Her father saw it, 
and importuned her day nnd night not to refuse 
him. Mr. S. could not slay long, so ho proposed 
and was accepted ; he then insisted on baring the 
wedding over. He released tbc old man from all 
liability to him, and lent him tbo money to pay 
the rest of his indebtedness. 

Ton will think, perhaps, Mr. Feddlor, Ibat 
Mary was bought, if yea do, just listen to this 
letter, and you will acknowledge that there existed 
ono woman who could not bu. bought- 

My Own Dear Georgo: Our happiness has 
ended. I am lo be a hrido tomorrow morning, 
and to-morrow evening a corpse. My mind is 
made up and every thing is ready. In duty to 
ray father, I will become a bride: in doty to you 
1 will become a corpse- You can understand 
tbo necessity of my becoming a bride, when I 
remind you tbat my father broke, and Mr. S., his 
largest creditor, came down here and took n fancy 
to me. My father came down on bis knees to 
me — can you imagine a father on his knees to 
his daughter, and bar slill refusing his request? 
11a said that ho would as certainly slay himself 
as tho sheriff sold his place, and turned him a 
beggar upon tho world ; ho would be tho scoff, he 
said, of those who were »l ways JcalouBnnd envious 
of his wealth. I consented. Do you blame mo? 

I have lo<cd you all ray life. When a child I 
told you so. I premised to ho faithful lo you ; 
and it is my duty to be so ; but duty requires 
mo to obey my father. There is but one way lo 
dp both, and that Is first to obey him, and 
then — suicide. I fear not death ; all the sting he 
has is tho thought that you will bo unhappy. 

After the ceremony is over to-morrow, I shall 
go inlo my room aud open my neck vein, and 
tho veins in my arms. That is Iho way tho old 
Itomans used to die. I have said it, you know 
that I will do It. 

I know your disposition George, and I know 
that you can never bo happy on Ibis earth, and I 
know that you will plant a flower on my grave 
and water il with tears. You, George, can bo 
true lo my memory, and Iho out your allotted 
lime ; and if you can't be happy and be useful lo 
yourself, perhaps you can be of use to your fellow 

In the world to come, there are no monoy- 
wor.-.liiiiiH.'r.H, and Wo will bu permitted to enjoy 
each other's company through alt eternity. 
I am, CJcoigc, 
Your loving and otfectionale 

Many. 
I am now on my way to her grave, where I 
intend to plant a flower, water it Drat with my 
tears, then with my blood. The earth has no 
joys for mo, for my Mary is dead,

Tuie is 


one of tbo most 


important subjects 


that ud bo 


brought before tho minds o 


these 


who look to tbo permanency 


of California 


The 


wising of Grain, the shipn

ng the area o 


cult.- 



ration, and every aid anil cncoorageinenl given 
by capitalists for tbe safe shipment of this pro- 
duct lo tho places mentioned. 

It il a very great mistake to talk about the 
oill of Oor surplus and overstock ; il Ie our duty 
to grow all ice can, to give more attention to tho 
science of cultivation and tho cost of raising 
Urge crops, and it is the duty of all good citizens 
to find as many nutlets as possible, and (o facili- 
tate its shipment abroad by all (ho means in their 
power, remembering that every Ion sent away is 
so much gain to tho country, bringing back (hu 
wealth from abroad and increasing tho value of 
tbo Crop left behind. 

There can be no longer a doobt upon Iho mind 
of any reasonable person at all conversant with 
(ho subject, that wo can compete successfully with 
tho grain growers of the other States; for wo can 
grow twice or thrico as much pei acr.'. and the 
freight is so low that our extra crops will more 
tbln overbalance the pries of tabor. What ship- 
ments have been made have given a character to 
oar grain anil it is now preferred in (ho Eastern 
Market and commands a margin over thai of 
Eastern growth. Could we have a communication 
between this port and Southampton via Australia 
direct, wo could place our grain in Enropo cheap- 
er than they can from Chicago. We have con- 
versed with heavy capitalists and can assure all 
those parties thai wish (o ship grain tbi 
and realize at once, (hat i-o can place tl 
vay to do this most satisfactorily, Tor all (he 
money that is needed on the shipment of grain 
can be hid, even though it should count in 
mil] loos. 

The opening prospect Tor (he Farmers is good, 
and we shall keep (hem well posted, and ihall 
advise them promptly of everything (hat show;

No one need fear that we cannot always find 
a market for alt we can rai.se. Below wo give an 
article from the N. Y. Erculog Post, to show that 
there arc causes at work which must favorably 
affect the value of (ho Grain Crop of California ; 
Ihero are causes always at work, that if not un- 
dentood would seriously affect ovary interest 

It Bill bo recollected that (he war of Europe 
gave a stimulus lo irado here, and tho grain 
markets of Europe u'cro materially affected by 
tbo war; yet the sudden cessaliun of that war 
did nolsoscrinuslyaffect us asoncwould suppose, 
II was this sudden break off to the war, however 
that caused a fall in grain, and all other articles' 
of produce, and has for tbo entire (imo since 
greatly depressed Irade ; yet but few cveo reflect 
enough lo attribute It lo the right cause. Had 
war continued, high prices and active business 
would have ruled. Wo however only point lo 
these facts. There are other causes that affect 
the prices of produce materially and we call ut- 
Unlion to iho article wo append, and oak if such 
causes and ulhers like (hem, would nut materially 
affectgrain growers everywhere? Similar action 
here will produce similar results, and wc call at- 
tention to this subject now, so (bat Cultivator, 
will bo hotter prepared when Iho change comes :

boxes af golden coin that lay piled up on- .onr 
hanking conn Mrs, there ia so much that 
pleasant about it, so much to regret ia tho associa- 
tions connected therewith, that tho shining gold 
loses tho greater part of its value in tbeso remem- 
brances. Id the first place, this gold is eo Ecarce 
in the people's pockets,- it is so hard to get, and, 
when obtained, eo bard to keep, that each, txcenly 
seems like aunngel visitant, "fowntid fur between." 
They are like the phosphoric lights that wc see In 
the deep waters, as our bark skims over tho wave ; 
if wa grasp at them, llicy nro gone. Then, if we 
talk of this gold — oh, that is not for us, denizens of 
the Pacific; it ia for ihipmcnt Eaitjice omc 
the Eait — owe them for ecerylhing ; for con 6uf- 
ter, cheese, lard, hams, tggs, beef, pork, etc., and 
onr gold must go to pay for them. And gold will 
always bo scarce in the pockets of us Californium, 
unlit wc cease sending it abroad for those articles 
mnnulaclnre and produce here. Our, gold 
should never be sent away for articles such as wc 
have named. Bat oflhoboiesof Qo!d-en Fruit:

(known as Bosch & Shepherd's Nursery), o

saccharine juica, and far superior 
Peachos now in tho market, whioh

Wo do not hesitate to pronounoo it ono ol

Individuality. 

Ik m vidua litv is tbe first impression of the 
gieat sol of the Creator upon matter, alike dis- 
tinct, from on atom to a world ; bringing order 
aw) harmony, from clmos nnd confusion, produc- 
ing ibal beautiful effect of variety, in fortD, size, 
motion, color, which is displayed throughout 
the irholo extent of the universe. But upon man, 
this seal is not o nlj" stamped upon his physical 
nature, but also upon his mental and moral facul- 
ties ; and it is by this stamp of originality alone, 
thai any One ever has, Or can ever hopo to attain 
to any degree of eminence among bis fellow men. 
Bnl hoiv many tell this birthright, by becoming 
Ibo slavca of passion, and letting il thus perish 
far lack of culture, or, liko a parasitical plant, 
gron upon the greatness of others, by imili 
or rather, I might say, aping their peculiar! 

This foodamenlal lair cannot bo violaled 
out producing disorder and derangement il 
petlect bunnony of nature, for by this aloni 
wo enabled to distinguish and classify the thous- 
ands of different species of the animal, vegetable 
and mineral kingdoms. And were this law uni- 
versally violated and subverted, the ivhole world, 
which is now covered ivilh so many distinct and 
varied forms of beauty, would soon become one 
inguishable mass, so compounded together

Who does not love to look upon and coni 
plate the great variety, and wise adaptation, 
played in tho garden of nature? Every different 
kind ol fruit, and Bower, has its own peculiar prop- 
erik-H which please tho senses to which they ap- 
pral, as also the instructive moral lessons which 
they teach. Tho rose, for instance, challengi 
our admiration, while tho violet claims our lav. 
nor woold tho latter meet with mora regard 
derated lo the position of tho rose, where i 
delicate tints could not bo seen io the distant 
and would give but a sombre aspect

laid the foundation of their greatness, in a Arm

,h!o pei severance in accomplishing whatever they 
mderlook; no matter how difficult or even im- 
...■sil.lv it might seem to others. 

And now.even in thisenligblenedageand tond 

of freedom, many isms have sprung up, because but 

few think for the many. But let every one but 

link leiefilr/icaKy for himself, and be truo to his 

ivnnatoro and the light thorn is within him, 

ad wo should see order and harmony whore dls- 

ust and discord now reign, and now light be 

lade to shine upon tbe science of man's eternal 

progression, which great and glorleuo truth, If 

presented to tho mind in tho clear light of 

on, would banish forever ignorance and crime,

which eiist.and the world ere long be filled with 

peaco and happiness. Edits Mohtbxsheh. 

A Pleasant Letter. 

The following very interesting letter from a 
lady correspondent we feel proud lo publish, 
incing as it does a deep interest in tho cause 
of Woman, physically, intellectually, and morally, 
t number showed the bettor times coming 
use that should be dear to the heart of 
Bver of his country. Tho letter shows 
ire is among our fanners' wives an intclli- 
orlhy of woman, and it will awaken, we 
right spirit among them. Wo hopo wo 
shall hear Irc-m H. E. S. and many others, often. 
We with that all our subscribers would regard 
tho "Poetical Dunn" as delicately as our friend ; 
thu practical part of it wo like. The terms of 
our paper are §5 in advance, altcayi, and if by 
courtesy it runs over the lime, surely tee should 
not be the sufferers. The subscription of our 
friend now remitted pays for tho year 1857, and 
H. E. S. may feel assured we shall tako it as an 
introduction and shall cull and sflo our friend at 
the earlicsL day; the generous invitation shall 
not be alighted. The kind notice of our journal 
wo appreciate fully, and believe this kind letter 
wilt bring us many mora subscribers. 

Wo shall bo happy to hear from H. E. S. at all 
times. We return grateful thanks for the inter- 
est shown tho cause we love :

You may not be acquainted with mo; neither 
am I personally with you ; but I hare read the 
Fanned carefollyfor more than a year, and I 
feel, while reading, as though I was hearing from 
an old friend ; for I read many things that ac- 
cord wilb my views. Many good and sensible 
things have been willtcn by my own sex, and I 
hate been delighted and benlrtted while reading 
r sentiments and ideis held out by thu op- 

tho Fhhsier of the 19th uIl I read 
which came home nearer than any- 
thing I hare read before. The piece is called the 
"Poetical Dun." I will not say iho dunning had 
anything to do with my experience, but nhili 
reading it in our family, 1 could not but think it 
bad a meaning for rat ; and as I held to be pretty 
much ol a practical woman and admire honesty 
and truth, why I know it was right to send yoi 
five dollars. I know the rulo is to pay in ad 
ranee, but when I subscribed for the I'aiimkii 
over a year ago, I sent by a friend, and did unlge

Dtiiiim Villi: I. Jano30, 1B SI. 

■Woman— The- Dlffaienoe, 
As the dove will clap its wings to its side, and 

,-ov-r ;■.;>.! conceal the arrow that is preying on 
itsvilBls so it is tho nature of woman lo hide 
from the' world the pangs of wounded alfect ion. 
Wilh her tho desire of the heart has foiled. The 
great charm of existence Is al an end M.. - r, ,- 
RlcclB oil the cheerful exercises that e \:M^ ^

life in healthful currents through the vems. IKr 
rest is broken, tho sweet refresh rrn.nl "I slfH ■■■ 
poisoned by melancholy dreams, "dry sorrow 
drinks hor blood," until her foeblo frame sinks 
under Hid la.t external assailant. Look for her 
after a little while, and vou find frieuuMi.|> ».-.■-,. 
ine: over her untimely grave, and mndtrinj Inel 
one who but lately glowed with nil the islIimIic, 
of strcuelh and beauty, should now he hro.i^l.t 
down to "darkness and tho worm." You will 
be told of some slight indisposition that laid her 
low bntnoone knows the mental malady that 
previously sapped her Ktrenglh, and made her so 
easy a prey to the spoiler. 

Theoboveis from Washington living, bow 
hear Julius Citsar Hannibal upon tho same in- 
teresting topic: , , 

'■ Doy may rail agoiust woman as much as dey 
like, dey ain't Pet mo up n-iiinsl dem. I hah 
always in lifi) found dem fust in lob, Hist in a 
quarrel, fust in do dance, d, fust in de uv tr.-mii 
saloon, and du fust bess end la-t in ■!« sick m-iiu. 
What would wo poor debils do without dun 7 
Let us be born as young, as ugly, an,i M helpless 
as ivo please, and a woman's arms are open tn 
recebo us. She it am who g.ihs us our li.v, do-.- 
Ob castor oil, and puts cloio 'poll our hclpli'-.-!v 
naked liml.j, and euburs up our fools and loses 
in long flannel petticoats ; and il am she who, as 
wo grow up, fills our dinner basket wid .!■■... - ii.it-- 
and apples as wo start to skool. and lick us whin 
we tear our trowsis. Il is she who. in our mnn- 
hood, makes de moon brighter and bicker, and 
du stars to twinkle in do Hrminent, nid de splen- 
did glory. (For Uko woman out Ob do world, 
and it would lose much or its beauty.) Il '8 she 
who robs trouble ol half its sting, when de trou- 
ble ain't 'boul anuddor woman. It am she who 
watches In do sick room, and gobs you the calo- 
intT and jullop nnd rubub, and curmn jelly, mid 
it am she who slicks to you in do last hoi u 
life, and consoles do trubled spirit as long 
sticks lo dis mortal body. Who can help lubin 



liko the precioi 



well i 



era, so fittingly adorns. But when alone, sealed 
upon Iho ground, in quiet meditation, wo inhale 
the swoel breath of the violet — while pressing it 
lo our lips, holier thoughts arc awakened in the 
heart, and we instinctively associate it wilh the 
pnrcsl and loveliest beings of earlb. And If this 
law is so beautiful and appropriate among tbe 
Ihn crs, bow much more so when applied lo the 
Ihrt. fold nature of man. How many varied and 
distinct beauties might bemada looppear, if every 
one would but be true to bis own originality, for 
everything you say or do.in order to be pleasing 
must be nalunL and that too the offspriog and 
perfection of your own nature. 

The minds of men seem to be formed more or 
less prirtmatically, often viewing tbo same subject 
in different lights, and but few, perhaps, possess: 
mental [acuities so evenly balanced as to present 
always a clear light to tha understanding, even 
whun brought to a focoa by the powerful lens Ot 
reason. Therefore, it j B ollen necessary to bring 
different minds lo bear upon a given subject, be- 
fore tho pure light of truth U broogbt toshirn- 
ctearly upon il. Thou all ^ill be able see it alike, 
and perhaps wonder tboy did not see or compre- 
hond it before. All should, therefore, first strive 
to make their own minds clear by tho constant 
Exercise ol their own faculties, that their, judg 
ment may bo tendered correct ; and then lot thorn 
learn to read and Interpret for themselves, hoth 
the revealed and natural lawaof Qod, which must 
ever harmoniw, and not lo depend upon the con- 
•truciuoand interpretations or olhcra who havt 
10 greater access lo Ihoir sublime mysteries and 



a they 









new truths night not thus be brought to ligh 
which might bear directly or indirectly upon the 
amelioration ol the condition of mankind. 

One of the brightest examples of the fulfill, 
of this law ol individuality that perhaps has 
lived, waa Benjamin Pranklin, and io obeying 
this first law of his being, ho achieved almost 
miracles, and earned an undying famo,»nd stands 



ike the Farukr, for many reasons; 
only because it meets my own views on some 
subjects, hut because it docs not tako tho reader's 
no in reading what is of no benefit, either lo 
o wrilcr or reader. I hclicro it to bu a useful 
per in a family, and can be read with pleasure 
id profit by crery member thereof. It is a 
paper that every Farmer should hive in ins duell- 
ing, whether married or single. Wu llvo on a 
ranch, neatly ten miles from a post oltice. and it 
least a week uld when wo gel il; but it is no 
less interesting on that account. Our man folks 
all liko to read il, and are always willing to tako 
thejournoy lo bring it home. 

We often read and hear of your visiting other 
parts of tho State, and nf the pleasant reception 
■llh. YTe are likewise gild to hear 
of the improvements made in Agriculture through- 
out the Stale. Wo arc not doing as much in this 
Valley as our neighbors aro in other places ; but 
il you ever come into this part of the country, 
e shall he very glad indeed If you will make us 
visit. Wo cannot promise you as many good 
things, nor show you as much of the beautiful as 
other Farmers have dune; but of one thing 
asurcd, you ahell ho received wilh both open 
hand and heart. I am a Farmer's wife, and my 
husband with myi ■• If join in .- ij ing, call and fee 
us; wo ore plain people; but wo will treat you 
to the best wo have. 

I hire often thought I would write a few lines 
to the Fa it ji eh, as regards the employment, and 
interest. Farmer's Wives and Daughters might 
lake In relation to a Garden or Farm. I know 
the objection will be raised, that wo hare so much 
lo do inside tho house. So wo have -, hut stand- 
ing for hours ovor a eookstovo never will improve 
health. But I will close for the present, hoping 
that the arrears or the FAHSiRn may speedily find 
Iheir way lo the editor*' office, and that you ma 
have many more subscribers, that truth may cii 
culate until it reaches every family, 

I hopeyoo will excuaelhe liberty 1 have taker 
the fow remarks proceed from one who wishes

The followiDg, by "Elln," in the Herald, 
worthy of being copied far uod wide, and should 
bo "Bernldcd" until it reaches every Slanderer in 
the land,

largest fizc, and of Ibe most beau lifol appearance, 
ran ba found In Iho shells of tho common mus- 
cles so abundant in Ibo Ohio rim and other 
slream? in the ridnity. This is no birn'mc. »« 
,ro led to believe Ihil we ban a Add fur in.Ju •

bD.t the Jersey Pearl Fishery ^1 1 hollow" ffr 
"cincinMli fc&rored with > moat devoted em 
industrious naturalist. Wo mean Mr. David H 
Shaffer. For many years it bis boon hn ranstan 
Tjlessurc and ■ part of his rotation, to Mll«l th 
natural eurios.iies lo bo found in our hills and 
Mllevs, brooks and rivers. He has paid (special 
■lUDtiOO to conchology. and has, after re pes ted 
,..,, . ;i.ntu!f, succeeded in giving a polish to our 
common mnsclo shells, which makts them union*, 
Iho most beautiful of our fresh-rvaler shells. He 
has sent a. groat many of them lo distant coun- 
tries, in exchange foi'shells of other climes, and 
the, invariably elicit the highest admiration. In 
performing (Mb labor Mf.S'haffcr bis often foond 
pearl* secreted inside the mueclo, They wore 
generally small, however, and he did not Ihmk it 
irmild pay lo teaieh for them. Sine; Iho recent 
diii-.iv tv "of pearls on the Jersey shore. II ex- 
hibited lo os lliiMm-.rmi.K two innsciilic.nl out-. 

One is while, slightly tinged nilh t-urn'oti '. n 
IE of ail oblong, t- ■-■ n i -7 -i I .-lmpi.-, iiilI ... ■.rly hull nu 
inch long! It' was latren from a shell picked '•}■ 
in il.t Mule Miami river, about ten milrs from 
tho city. The other, ond we think tbo prettiest 
one is of oval form, full half an inch in length, 
and unc-lhird of an inch in breadth ; it is a bril- 
liant purple, and was taken from a rbell I'-unrJ in 
tho Ohio river near the city. Mr. SlulTcr says 
Ibey arc the most beautiful pearls ba ever saw, 
and from the prices paid for the Jersey pearls 
ibBV most bo of great value. 

These are the focls. Mr. Shaffer is confident 
tbal the fresh-natcr muscle atolls abound in 
pearls, and his opinion is worthy of i-rcT. «ei-l.t. 
If il i* confirmed, pearl gatherers will m"ioii uV'li

hitherto comic nine. I frcj,li -water oysters.

A Country School Bmu«. 
We remember n litllo incident whioh occurred 
in our native village, many years since which 
.as never yet aeon In print, but It ft a "><* "> 
history that has not boon loot io ita influence. 
The great Cattle Market of Now England i* es- 
tablished at Brighton, Maw., ana thoro on every 
Monday is congregated many thousand head of 
atcok, of oil deacriptioni, nua tboao iutorcstod 
in the purchase and aalu of stock, from all aec- 
tioDs of the country around, go there. So im- 
in.rtant is the business transacted that it now 
daunts to mlliw of dollar annually. To 
this market often oomo in tho nututnu. large 
droves of the farmers' fat cattle of Ohio and 
Kentucky, end by their appearance Ibey ore 
quickly known; tho heavy, steady tread of 
these largo, red and white or mottled animals, 
indicating whence they come. 

The time to which wo rotor, largo drovea hod 
oomo from tho west, from Ohio and Kontuoky, 
mora especially from tho latter, uud mony very 
Sao caltto were pointed oat in tho yards, as 
from the farm of tho "Sago of Ashland," and 
said (hat Mr. Clay was also to visit ihe East, and 
would come to visit thin great market, where his 
Hook was to bo seen. Without regard to party 
fooling all the good citUens of tho prosperous 
villogo turned out to dohonorto the patriot and 
statesman, and ho was escorted around the place. 
Daniel Webster accompanied Henry Cloy, and 
was in tho some carriage, and as they wore 
riding round and throagh that village and pass- 
ing "round tbo square" (n circuit of about a 
mile and a half), where stood on the way some 
three or four school houses, this boys ana girls 
wore oil anxious to see thorn ; so they wore per- 
mitted to "come oat of school" aa these great 
raeo went by. and as Now England boys and 
girls are always taught, they paid Ihtir rapects 
to such men by tho bow una tho cortsoy. Afte 
passing several scenes like those, Mr- Cloy turn 
to Mr. Webster, saying, "I am delighted wit 
these bountiful eocnee, these happy faces i ho' 
neat nnd clean all theio chiiareq appear! Hoi 
is it, Mr. Wobster? Whot mokes ao much dif- 
ference among children of the same country! 
What makes your ohildren of Mow England bo 
bright and so happy!" 

"Look," said Webster, as thoy wero then 
nesting another school house, "there, there, flee 
you that liltlt building On tho corner lot I It h 
that Ultle ithoal hauie that does the work !" 

Yea, iti» the eountrysohool house; ana good 
men and great men liko Webster and Cloy, have 
■sen ond will always see and recogniro the 
"country school bouse." where tho children can 
all bo educated together. Wo hnvo introduced 
thin anscdoto to show the value put upon coun- 
try school bouses, by Iho statesman Websler. 
and to iatrodacu the very able Addroas of ooi 
friend and Teacher. His Address does honor |.. 
his head and heart, and is full of most excellent 
thuugbt. That broad philanthropy which taken in 
a whole Union, which knows no North, no South, 
no East, no West, where a gooa ia to bo nccom- 
pliahed — this ia tho right spirit for Culiforoin. 
To oor Schools WO look for the right .-. [>i ri t In 
bo inculcated; educate tho young aright, 
we need bavo no fear of onr Union. 

This Address was delivered at Santa Rosa, 
Sonoma county, on tho second woek of Jnly, 
before tho Teachers and friends of Education ir 
that coonty, and was received, as it deserved, 
with marked applonso. Wo desiro to mention a 
pleasing foot, of our uwn obaorvatioo : On onr 
way to tho beautiful town of Santa Rosa, wo 
stopped, us is always our Custom, ot a very neat 
nohool bouse, a few miles short of tho town, and 
onteied tho school room; although a perfect 
stranger, wo wero courteously rccr-iv,-,!. ,u„i 
beard the (imitations of tin. 1 pupil*. Tho boys 
and girls wero all neat ana tidy, and recited 
remarkably well. From what wo saw wo feel 
assured that distriot has a very faithful teacher 
in Mr. Bibcock. The appearance, conduct and 
recitations of tho scholars, was a warrantee 
deed of a faithful "school master." 

Wo oommend n careful perusal of this Ad- 
dress, and hope much good will result to tho 
cause of Common- Sehool Education.

Mr. Sooth put his hand in his pocket, and di 
forth a letter, and said :

Ha let go his hold of the cravat, siczed the It

waved his knife over his bead, gave ibrco cl

dians !" mi raised; several shots were 6rcd, and 
every man Has toon running lo tho spot where 
thoy supposed iho Indians were. Tho Indiana 
were gone, but thor found my father, who had 
received a shot through tbo heart. 

When he reached tho camp, ho was dying. T 
was at his side in an instant. Ho spake to mo: 
"Angela," be said, '■jIi ! inv daughter, beware 

of ." Ho could not finish the sentence, for 

the next instant ho was a resident of Heaven. 
Whatho was going to say I could not guess at 
uiiiil within tho last week. 

Thus was [, uneducated in tho ways of tbo 
world, and not knowing how black tho human 
heart could be. left alone, among strangers; an 
easy prey to the designs of villainy. I stayed a 
week at the grata of my father, and then moved 
on. Bolassoon as we started, the preacher be- 
gan to talk to mo about how indecoroos it was 
for a young lady to bo traveling among a lot of 
moo alone, and be said that if I actually loved 
Selden. that I had better marry him right away r 
so that I would have some one to foot up to. 1 
resisted tbo importunities of boih for some timu; 
hot, at length, everything wont wrong; my 
hands all left (they were hired logo), andl con- 
sented to be married. Accordingly, the Rev- Mr. 
Jackson performed thu ceremony, and I consid- 
ered myself Mrs. Selden until vghtehday. 

You will recollect, perhaps, that several days 
ago, this man Jockson came here, and took up 
board with us. I saw thit there was something 
wrong, the day after his arrival, and I was deter- 
mined to llnd out more. Yesterday, i heard (no 
matter how) the following conversation between 
these two worthies. 

"Well, then," said Jackson, u it is decided that 
we atari the day after tomorrow ; but I don't like 
the idej o( killing- that irerirjt much ; 



was no reply. I opened it, and walked in. There 
p a scene I Both the men (Selden and Jack- 

) fcyon tho same bod; bat thoy wore both 

dead. Tbo bed looked like » pool or coagulated 
blood. It was evident that thoy had both died 
without « struggle. Tho cradle, with tho child 

it, stood in tho mlddleof tho room, and near it 
lay tho Tletim of man's cruelly. She loo, was 
dead- but she had been avenged. Iho same 
knife that had killed— I won't say murdered— the 
ntn, was slicking in ber bosom; where, I 
think that an evil thooght had over entered, 
previous to bcr knowledge of how she had been 
deceived. , 

Around the child's neck was a piece of paper. 

lest Of' thTmothcr^f this child, thnt .Mr. S. take 
charge of it. and do with it as ho shall think 

"«6t." , . 

It is only nocc=-m h>r mo in mi-, further, that 
. took the child, and thnt T found lb..- innr.n nil 
right. I also found Selden's (or Well's) wife 
and rant her the monev.as requested to do. I 
nursed that child myself, and for three years I 
:as not away from her Tor mnru than twenty- 
mrhoursata time, and up to this moment I 
_avo never been away from her for three weeks. 
She has never had a scolding in her life, and I 
don't intend that she t-hall have while I live.

-We will leave her a little money then," 
Selden, at least what ihe has laid away." 

"Money be d d!" said Jackson, "I'll tell 

you. she is good looking enough to make a liii 
anywhere, and she will suun come lo It" 

••Yes, but that Is the reason I don't want

I have buried in the southeast corner of tbi

Mo Excelionca 'Without Labor. 
__;ro is perhaps no general principle more 
fullr established lhan (his— that there is no ojt- 
" eo without labor; nothing great or noble 
er been accomplished without hard, perso- 
soring labor; no great eniorrjri-a-s have been car- 
ried out without labor. How did Alexander 
became ono of tho greatest warriors of nnlitiuity, 
inquerer of all the then known world, who 
wept when there were no more worlds to con- 
quer? How did Cicsar eitend his conquests 
until he made Rome the mistress of the world? 
How did Napoleon— at the mention of whose 
name the heart of the Frenchman even now 
thrills with feeling, and bis eye kindles with 
emotion— starling in life with no friend but his 
sword, tight his way upward till ho became Em- 
peror of Prance? How did ho at the head of 
bis army, go forth lo conquer and asi-ini-li ihe 
■orl'l liv Mil- liimil.nr mi'l gr.iilm-.s of his vleto- 
ies and' make Europe tremble at his pmL-ro-..; ? 
How did these men accomplish so much 1 Thoy 
ambitious, ihoy wished to achieve for them- 
selves a name :i^ cml military cli ledums, nri'i in 
the pursuit of this object they spared no labor, 
they underwent hardships and privations; ill

They did set forward, and that extraordinary 
undertaking, which won tho admiration of the 
■orld was tiicc.:.- -(nil- iu-.>iiiii']i-iui). This short

character. It discloses the secret of his success, 
his iniliiiiiiliil.iK- itiit'-i and p rsiveiance in whal-

A Day Among tho Horveators. 
We loot a homed trip across llio Boy this 
week, to look at the Harvesters tkot have just 
begun their ihrashluB in the fluids around Son 
Lcaudro and on the Sou Lorenzo Creek. It is a 
busy time now, and when odd of Pcmgo'.-i ten-

Brooklyn, you see signs of the harvesting so

hard -working, industrious set of men, ouch men 
that add to tbo wealth of any country. Wo

machine, men ond horses, thrashing tho crop of 

It if important to stole bore, that over our 
enure State there are men and firms that have 
Thrashers and horses and workmen, who muko 
contracts, and go from farm to form to thrnah, 
oleon and bog the Crops of grain growers. 
They can do this cheaper than the grower, often, 
far tho coat of o harvesting implement is of so 
much value, with horse j and men, that it would cost 
more than u large form is valued at in the East. 
To show this, we would stole, that tho Machine 
in un that wo here saw was one of Spencer's 
best, with Perrigo's len-borso power. The im- 
plement, complete, worth 81,000; tho team of 
horses in oso consisted of four pairs, worth^COO 
per pair, and one spnn, gSSO — making 84,250-, 
thus employing ten horses. If tho grain is loose 
In the field, it requires twenty men; if bound, 
fifteen men; this is the whola number required. 
If tbo grain is loose, four teams aro required to 
haul tbo grain; and if bound, three teams. One 
of these implements will thrash as fast as three 
teams can haul and supply tho grain, and keep 
tho entire twenty men In. full work. From 500 
to 300 sacks of. grain is tho result of a day's 
work, according lo the yield of tbo gri 
teams to supply, ono moo to haul away tho 
straw, ono lo cut, two to feed, ono to lend thi 
power, one to fill tho bags, ono to remove, am 
una to sew to np and finish. 

Tho cost of thralling and cleaning, now, is cN 
oeuta per hundred pounds, finding men, teams

Large Sato of Merino Sheep. 
We record below the sale or the Merino Sheep 
noticed by us in Our last issue, a sole that Is ol 
great importance to our State. 

The attendance was large, several hundred per- 
sons being present, although many were brought 
thither from curiosity rather than as purchasers. 
Tho prices wcib much below what was anticipated 
and what was indeed thefr value, yet from the 
short notice of this sale, since their arrivol, and 
tho scorcily of oro. the price was tolerable. 0n< 
thing is certain, if tho importers have not real- 
ized n profit, Iho Stile of California will, and ttu 
iporters. Messrs. Mneondray & Co., hare done a 
good deed for tbe Stale. 

Tho Sheep were put up in lots of twenty Ewes

Tho Mechanics' Palnoo. 

Tue dome of the Mechanics' Hall ol Exhibition 
now ncurs its proud swelling head, and looms up 
over iho city, as a taken of tho superiority of 
labor over wealth. Frum One end of our State to 
tho other tho "nolo of preparation" soundeth, 
and the Mechanics of California will not he back- 
ward! In showing to the world what they can do. 

Woluokupon this Exhibition or tho Mechanics' 

tho history of California. It will tell upon her 
character, her name and fame, and upon her pros- 
perity through alt coming lime. This is the au- 
spicious moment. If the Mechanics of our State 
but realize this and " take tbo tide at its Good," 
it will assuredly roll tbom on to fame, fortune 
and prosperity, and our Stale will awaken from 
the lethargy and despondency that now rusts upon 



Malos vs. Horses. 
Tub longevity of tho mulo has become eo pro- 
verbial, that a purchaser seldom inquires his ago.

Me, 



Phillips & Taylor bare as fine a team of horses 
u we have seen hitched to a machine, for a long 
while, and do their work promptly and woli. 

To do work to the best advantage, regard is 
to bo had to position. Wo noticed that Messrs. 
P. li T. cross their belt, thus saving ond hold- 
ing power, and they feed tho machine on tho 
right aide ; by loading on tho left side tho sup- 
ply teams arc brought in too close contact with 
the hordes oq the power, and they might endan- 
ger n fright and nrunawoy of tbo horses, as has 
once occurred, l.j- the clipping uf the belt and 
lulling all loose. By crossing tho bolt and load- 
ing on tbo right aide, gives moro space, end wo 
think is a belter plan. Wo would urgo upon 
all harvesters of grain tbo importance of clean- 
ing their groin more carefully than in former 
years. Millers complain loudly of b careless 
rununrf often seen, in sending grain to market 
half cleaned. If grain growers knew their own 
iptureil, Ihey would use more care; one-fourth 
or ono-hall cont per ponnd on grain, makes a 
hoop of monoy on a largo crop. 

Wc saw the Machines of Mr. Crone, thu Camp, 
bell's, nod of many otbem, In this section. At 
thi Machine of Messrs. Huff & Mahoney, we saw 
a buyy group of men at work, on a field or 250 
acre«-Xl50 of barley, 70 of wheat and 30 ol oats- 
all eioadlent yield, ond some very heavy. We

A grand Exhibition of Agriculture and Ho:

place at the city of San Juae, on tho ISth an 
191b. of September next, This is well. Every 
enmity sltnuld cMublish an Annual Fair; 
friend of Agriculture and Horticulture, and of 
thu Meobauio Arts, should do his beat 
promotn tbeBO great interests. Evqry county 
should ho up and doing, and should, by delega- 
tions, oo-operota with ouch county, so that by 
courtesies uad kind interchange of though 
action, bring tbo experience of all to tho work of 
revealing all that is good in tho earth Or it 

By a mutual under? landing and a spirit of 
cordial fraternity, arrangements tun hu mu.de so 
that the Fairs in tho several counties shnll not 
coullict with ono another, but ralher aid eooh 
utbor, ond the best products of several can pasa 
from county to county fur comparison, and thus 
thu high»et standard of eicelleoce bo nttninod ; 
so that, from tho several counties there will oomo 
up to thu StaW Fair only the best of each. 
Every county should bo auiiliory in its efforts 
and labors lo the Slate Society ; thus, find thus 
only, can tho greatest amount of good bo no-

Wo rejoice to sco the friopds of industry

Too much cannot be said upon this subject 
tho influence of this Fair will bo felt in all cominj

The Smrpisn Lnterkst — On Wednesday, 
nearly two hundred ships, barks nod brigs 
in this port. Shipping business still cont 
very dull, and vessels cannot he very profitably 
employed anywhere al present. The India trade 
has recently proved n.i di.-nstrotis that hut little 
inducement is offered for now operations in that 

quarter. Chinchu trade is in u rliiin stutc; 

mulheni freightini; I. terv dull, (iinl vec-ol.- lire

are nbuut over for tbo season. Bu-iness fur 
small vessels id very poor. Wo trust thnl litis 
important burine-- to N..w England will revive 
below many months.— [Eos t- Trans. I7tb ult. 

Wo clip tho above from tho Huston Transoript 
received hy tho last steamer. This shows the 
atato of commorco at that otty ot Ibnao dates ; 
nud what has produced this stagnation in this 
branch of business ! A little reflection will ei- 
plnin. A considerable number of these vessels 
were used in carrying grain and flour to Europo 
during tho Hussion war, others were engaged in 
the China trade, and a large number in tho Cal- 
if, irnin trade; in all these a cessation bus taken 
placo, and in tho Inst wo nro particularly inter- 
ested. Our markets hnvo been overstocked for 
years, until shippers no longer doro such experi- 
ments as have been practiced ; loss and less 
vessels will bo required for goods to California, 
in coming years, for California will bocomo her 
men manufacturer and producer, nud within 
Jirc years, ships will leave our ports fully laden 
with products of our own— with Grain. Wool. 
Hides. Tallow, Wines, Dono-dost, Horns, and 
other products; and within that time wu shall 
become exporters of Beet-root Sugar to the other 
Slutcs of tho Union. California can mauufno-

moan nil that we now import— fur within n rea-

Vyast Indies, a mule has been known to perform 
hia task in a cano.mill, when over forty years 
age. Wo onco know o maro mulo twenty-five 
years old, that had heen twenty-one years in 
slant work, and tio dimunition in her powers 
could be discovered. It was not unci 

ipwards of a ton weight in a wagon 
to market, a distance uf mora than five miles, 
neighbor has owned a. very lurgo mulaabout fbi 
teen years that cannot be less than twenty-eight 
years old. Hu informed us a few dayi 
ho could not perceive the least failure : 
would not exchange him for any fare 
the country. A farmer living near Controville, 
Maryland, il is said, oivns a mule that is thirty- 
five years old, as capable of labor as at any former 

In no country is tho mule hotter adapted to all 
the purposes ol lin-Mmlrv fur which tho horfiO is 
used than our own. And it would be highly de- 
sirable 10 be able lo exhibit a calculation of the 
actual earing in dollars and cents by his employ- 
it, but unfortunately i 



had. And 






less founded upon experimental ficts, and those 
multiplied, lo be all ■'mo.iii-hine." weshall merely 
submit a desultory cmiip.iriivJii lulween the mulo 
and the horse, derived tn.nu Mith facts asoui Own 
experience and information from a uth on tic sources 
will jo-iify tho assumption of. 

From what has been slated respecting the lon- 
gevity Of tha mule, wo think it may bo foirlv as- 
sented that he does not deteriorate more rapidly 
after twenty years of ago than tho Itorso dousarier 

treatment lo each. The contrast in the mole 
lti.-_-.loin from milady m di.-e.i.e. compared wit 
■"le horse, is not lessstriking, Arthur Young, du 
g bis lour in Ireland, was informed that _-..nil, 
un had lost several line mules by fe..Jiti„- them 
I wheal straw cut; and we have been iiilnnitel 
at a mule dealer in tho western part of thi 
lie, attributed the loss uf a number of young

.y was oxhau.l.d, I.) f_.dinj; then, exclusively 
■ ■■ and Indian meal. In no other in- 

1 of a mule beiie; 

■tion of the in l 
gleet in permitling thi 



crops, his feet being smaller and follow each out 
so much mow la a line that ho seldom ireTJI 
down tho plants. Tho facility or m_tructi at , h ; * 
to obey implicitly tbe voice of his driver or .1. 
plowman In astonishing. "" 

Tboro is one plausible objection that in r,, n 
urged against tbo mulo, " that on deep loiliajj 
soft roads, his feet being much smaller than LhnJ 
Of tho horse, sink further in;" but it .hould 1„ 
considered that ho can exlricato them with ,. 
much greater facility. 

It Is full time to bring our comparison to . 
close, wbich we shall do by assuming the posiii^ 
that tho farmer who substitit.es mules forhor^ 
will have this portion of his animal labor Mr- 
formed with the expense of one spire of grass, | . 
Bleed of two, which may he cejanl, so for, loinilr 
ing "two spires grow where ono grew before" 
For although a largo sized mule will consume 
somewhat moro than hnlf the food necessary for 
a horse, yet, if wo tnko Into account Iho saving i n 
expense ol shoeing, farriery, Ac, we may safelv 
affirm that a clear viviiiir of dcic-IiuIi' can bo fulfr 
substantia led. But in addition to this, the muk 
fanner may calculate, with tolerable certainty 
upon the coniinunlionof his capital lor thirty 
years; whereas Iho horse fanner, at the expiration 
of fiflcen years, must look to his crops. | hu 
acres, or a bank for tbo renewal of his— or per 
haps, what Is worse, ho must commence hnrie.

other point or view. For the more. 
on city railways, the employment of 
meets with a decided preference, i a

economy in using him. Hoswmsso peculiarif

number of Sixteen Thousand Apple Trees in one ■

It was n summer's afternoon, the earth hod just 
been baptized in a refreshing shower, onJ Kerned 
smiling through her tears, as the bright drops 
Rlisico'^ in the sunlight, and slowly they dropped 
from treo and Bower. On the pinna or the United 
States Hotel at Saratoga, stood nn elderly gentle- 
man, who was from the Sooth, nnd leaning on his 
ana for support wis his inratid daughter,", fragile 
flower, which seemed fast fading away, bnt who 
bad been brought here by her kind father, hoping 
that the water and change of air might revive, if 
not restore to health, this only surviving blossom 
of the family tree. They were looking upon a 
bright rainbow, the great seal or God's promise— 
o! which bot half is seen here, (he circle will be 
complete iu eternity. They gazed upon it, and as 
it slowly faded away the old man sighed, nod said 
in a low tone, "thaa is it over with oor brightest 
hopes!" and as he looked npon his daughter ' 



a pass from his long' 
n of the rainbow, 
op to them a ycong 



saw that she, too. wonld B 
jug gaze, like the bright vi 
At Ibis moment there ca 
mail, of prepossessing appearance,* hose iolellectoal 
face bespoke a highly cultivated and refined mind; 
be held in his hand a beautiful bouquet, which be 
presented to the fair invalid, and said— 

"Lillie, woold yoo not like to ride oot now, as 
the dnst is laid by the shower, and everything 
looks so fresh and 1-eantifol I" 

"Yes, Edgar, I think it woold do mo good to 
breathe this fragrantair;" nnd then potting nn her 
bonnet and shawl, which her father brought onl 
to her, the was assisted down the steps and into 
the carriage, and they drove oway. 

That fragile being was Edgnr's oHianeed bride, 
and one year before, when Brst their faith was 
plighted, (be rose ilself was uot more blooming; 
bnt a fearful rival hod since presented himself, who 
seemed determined to make her his own, in spile of 
the jcaloos care with which was guarded every 
avennc of his insidious approach. 

A few daya afttr this, Lillie sat by her window 
watcbioj; ibe sou as it slowly .]i;jp[>._-iirni h;hin.| 
ibe western hills, while softly the crimson curtains 
of day were folded together for the night, and 
clasped with the bright evening star. Edgar, who 
had entered the room nnperccived, stood still, 
gazing npon that lovely face, as it glowed in the 
mellow light or tha lost rays of the setting sun ; 
she looked to clhcrealized thai ho felt as if he was 
in the presence °f a spirit; at length he approach- 
ed her and said, "what are you thinking or, Lillie, 
yon seem to be in deep meditation I" 

"I was thinking," Baid she, "why we might not 
be so renewed an J renovated, by deep and repose at 
night, that wc might, like the sun, begin each day 
with the same vi|.-,.r and undiminished luster." 

"Perhnps we may," said Edgar, "when we hive 
learned to trace lifo from iu source and back 
again to its fountain head ; but," said he, taking a 
chair and seating himself close by her side, and 
then taking her hand in his, "dearest Lillie, coald 
1 bnt call yon mine. I sbould be so happy." 

She looked up with a smile, and said, "I am 
jour's, am I not! and wc will be married when I 
get a little belter." 

Bnt he raw too plainly that would never be,and 
he added, "will yon not be mine now, Lillie!" 

"Tea," said she, 'if you are willing to many a 
shadow." He fell but loo deeply the truth of her 
remarks, hut thai ihodow was Iho einct image of 
his heart's Ideal, and should be not bo permitted 
to call her his bnt n few days on earth, he fell 
that their union woold be eternal, in that land 
where separation is not known. 

"But Edgar," said she, "you must go to Uio ball 
to-night, alias Arabella wis here a few minute* 
ago, asking if you were nol going, saying she 
Should bo very moth disappointed if yon did not 
attend, far she said she thought jou one of Hie fimst 
yooogmen here; and now for so Eneo compliment 
from so fine a belle, you must not refuse to go." 

"Bulyoa will leave me to my own cholco, will 
yoo not!" said Edgir. 

"Yea, if you make It honestly. But I cannot 
but Ihlnk you often deprive toorsolf ol miny en- 
joyments, to bo of service and company lor me 
and Idonotwish todeprive yoo ol the least plea-. 



V KNiU-il 



•-Well, then, It will afford me - 
pleasure lo sit here, and read or talk I 
say no more about u„ ball, for I do'nol wlshw 
go to night." 

With her whilo hand she put back his dark 
glossy hair, from his polinhcd brow, and im- 
printed a kiss thereon, as a reward for bis pt 
devotion. And a Cow hours after, when he hid 
bidden her good night, and walked out upon the 



balcony and gazed upon Iho uemmed vault of 
heaven, while the queen of night looked serenely 
down upon him; tho music and volees of Iho 
marry dancers, which Here wafted from the win- 
dow of Iho brilliantly illominnted hall opposile, 
were but discordant Bounds upon tho car of bil 
chastened spirit, 

A monlh rolled away. Lillie and her father 
wore about to return to their southern homo- 
Edgar pleads for the right to accompany her 
ber husbsnd-lho old man proses his hand with 
an affectionate grasp, and says, " she cannot stay 
long with uk;" bot as ho sees their undying love 
for each other, ho assents, and ibe nclt Sabbath 
Lillie is seen arrayed in bridal robes, standing at 
the altar, leaning upon that arm which was to 
willing, but powerless, to save her from bis dread- 
ed rival. And as the minister arose before them 
and ratified those holy bonds, which already wen- 
bound In hcavrn, and as ho pronounced tho last 
sentence— ■' until death do os part"— bis voice 
faltered, and while he blessed ihcm, a low mur- 
mur and stlfflcd Mibs were heard among tho con- 
gregation, while ho rtaid to the bridegroom, " put 
your trust in God. for great are his mercies: 
(hough in my or his ways are past finding ool. 
trust him Tor his grace." 

Thot evening, as Edgar sat with hisangel bride 
leaning opon his bosom, while be playfully 
twisted her lung silken curls around his fingers, 
he said, '■ I am so happy to call you mine, dearest 
-my wire." Still he Telt that undeUimble reel- 
ing which had ever clung around his heart like a 
serpent, whenvcr he had called her his. Sbo 
pointed lo a va*u containing a beautiful bouquet 
or white lilicf. saying, ■ThoEeore a present for jou, 
Edgar, for you always say (hose (lowers remind 
you of me; and now," said she, " sing mo 'tho 
Lost Bom ol Summer,' for I feel exhausted from 
the [atigiio and excitement of to day ; but Ihope 
to bt veil in the morning." lie sang tho song 
in his rich, musical voice, but when he ceased 
singing, she bad fallen asleep. Alas ! he found it 
was Ibat sleep which knows no waking, until 
lhat morning when shn would indeed be well, 
never more to say " I am sick :" when he in his 
turn should triumph over his rival, the grave, to 
whom he had now to consign her ; and tho next 
day, all in her bridal robes, ho saw her laid in his 
cold embrace. » • • • * 

Years have since rolled by, bringing their usual 
allotment afjoy and sorrow, sickness and health, 
life and death. He slill lives: his hair Is "sil- 
vered o'er with age," and loudly his name his 
been trumpeted by fame, but stirs nol (be deep 
sealed fountain of his heart. There is but one 
spotofeirlh hochorlshes; that is where ho buried 
his only earthly treasure, and there he maybe 
sometimes seen when returned from travels in 
distant land-:; and as he kneels by thai grave by

Doca High Intellectual Culture Promote 
Domestic Happiness ? 
We Invito discussion upon the questions io- 
volved. in tho following letter from Sylvia, for 
they are of great moment; and whilo ih ere is a 
largo doss of men who ridicolo Hie idea of wo- 
man's equality with man, or tho necessity or 
benefit of their being highly educated, we believe 
the truly intelligent ol this and every other Stale 
attribute the present lamentable, evils that exist 
in tho social relation as resulting entirely Irnm a 
want of proper regard [or tbeeducation of woman, 
Educated girls secure lo us educated mothers, 
and it is in their power to make the world wiicr, 
better and happier. On thi 
bility of our future homes. 

Mb. Editoh : Allow me a Fmall space in your 
piper lo repeat a serilimenl advanced not long 
since by a gentleman who makes pretensions to 
a place among the literati nf Iho city where ho 
resides, and considers himself one of " the intel- 
leclajl," and, consequently, opinions from such 
a sou rco should command our attention ; and if a 
enmmunily can be benefitted by their promulga- 
tion, they should not bo allowed to pass into 
oblivion. But, nn the Other band should these 
opinions he considered erroneous, thoy are equally 
entitled lo a defence by any who may '■ beg leave 
to difier." 

Tbo sentiment advanced npon tho occasion re- 
ferred to.and in which wo hold the right to differ, 
wis— that men nf education and high menial en- 
do-imenls should nol, in makingchoico of » com- 
paniin /or life, choose one of corresponding 
attainments and edocation ; but thai, if ihoy con- 
sulicd their own happiness, they would select one 
who was purely dameillc in her habits, oven 
though she could nnt sympathize with him in any 
of his intellectual enju> menls, or understand tho 
deep reasonings and controversies in which, as a 
man ofcducation.hedclighlssomuch to Indulge; 
but that ho preferred ral her to mim alone within 
his own capicioua mind, and lose himself pcr- 
chinco within thelebyrlnth of lhought,and cared 
not for one of "congenial spirit" lo Interrupt 
or sharo with him ibis " higher order" of oxist- 
ence. But when heshould descend from bis lofty 
flight to this terrestrial sphere, conscious of his 
own superiority, it was then lhat your " intel- 
lectual man" enjoyed the society of a wife, or 
rather her services, Ihua affording her an oppor- 
tunity f fnifjiifog ber appropriilu duties by ad- 
ministering lo his temporal wants ; or, in other 
words, to obey his slightest word, ond anticipate 
his every wlib. 

Now.fl strikes me, thol iflhis Isall that Is re- 
quired lo lit a woman for her station in lifu ; ibat 
ell schools of a higher order, for the edocation or 
young ladies, can be diipenscd with, unless to 
some who may prefer tho cultivation of tho Intel- 
lect, and a pursuit nf iho sciences r or Bb j ch [hoy 
may have a love, even at Ibo risk of being called 
•blues," or considered too highly educated for 
jow "intolleeieal gentlemen," and the money 



thus expended could better be appropriated to 
somn benevolent object ; or perhaps it could bo 
moto profitably applied in procuring the omolo- 
montsor office; by which aaao political aspirant 
Is suddenly raised lo tho high station which hi 
unappreciated talent* have heretofore been unable 
to obtain for him; and his simple-minded but 
beloved companion is thereby raised lo tho sati 
position In society as himself. For, according 
(he theory of your '■Intellectual gentleman." 
matters not what may be her deficiencies in ed 
catlnn ; thoogh sbo he hut a tyro In its first rud 
monts, end unablo to converse opon any subject, 
aside from her domestic concerns, which, to 
sore, may bo varied and interesting— sbo is just 
tho companion suited to your newly titled caudi 
date to official honors; and though sbo may bo 
called upon lo cnlcrlaln his dislinguishcd guests, 
she can detail to Ihem her trials and experience 
as a housekeeper; for what more copious sub- 
ject than tho delieiences and remissness of ser- 
vants, and the consequences resulting therefrom ; 
or what mom interesting then the experience or 
a fond mother, in taking her children through tho 
measles and whooping cough, and discussing f 
probability of their culling teeth before 
moon Is in its lost quarter, or that thoy may 
tempt to walk before the right sign shall have 
arrived al a certain painl in Iho zodiac, I 
genial influence would greatly assist tho 
creatures in their first pedestrian efforts ; but if 
asked what these signs or constellations 
which exert such a powerful influence upon us, 
she would be unable lo nil J 

But with due deference to Iho opinions of oth- 
ers, and without any discouragement lo the the- 
ory ol 'practical domestic education," which I 
consider essential as a part of every young lady' 
acquirements, I will close these desultory re- 
marks by quoting a short paragraph from a wcll- 
knowo female writer ; which cs presses my senti- 
ments more happily than tny own pen can do. 
She says, on the subject of female education : 

"I do believe the reason why so few men, oven 
among tbo most intelligent, wish locncoorago tbo 
mental cultivation of woman, is their cut's iv 
love of (ho good things of this life. They trem 
bio for their dear stomachs; concluding that 
woman who cultivates Iho pleasures of poetry o 
Enntiment, would never descend lo pay duo atleo 
tion lo tho exquisite flavors or pudding and ph 
the tare so gratifying lo their philosophic palates 
and yet. poor gentlemen, it is a thousand pitie 
Ibey should be so mistaken ; Tor who so well as 
woman of senso'ond cultivation, will feel tho res 
importance or her domestic duties? Or who S 
well or so cheerfully perform them 7 Yet, I sc 
no reason why the best housewife in tho world 
should lake more pleasure in making a ou: 
pudding than In reading a fine poem. ' " 
Or why she cannot fultlll the duties of her 
lion with activity and success, and, at iho i 
time, colli vntu th L - ruiu.l-.nf her children, usefully 
and elegantly, slill allmrimr, herself to indulge 
ewasionallv in IhL' m.1,1 nli.uial ol all pleagur 
the pleasures uf the intellect." Sylvia.

From Washington.— Our Washington dis- 
palch, Says the N.Y. Herald, that a treaty rcilh 
Nicarngna is under consideration, having for its 
object the re-opening of the transit route. Tin- 
steamship commodores are, it is slid, entirely 
ignored aa regards this matter.

Sprouting of Young Fotntoea in the Soil. 
Enrroas Firkkh: In un article of mine which 
appeared In Iho F.uiucn of the Gth June, I en- 
deavored to point oat Oil- orgeat ntecssily of farm- 
Ufa studying A^ri.'iik'ir.' idiot iEcolly, as the on)j 
means uf enabling them to obviate difficulties of 
daily occurrence. I also suggested the advantages 
Vfhieh farmers had io being rvadera of the CiLiroB- 
KU Faiui^h, through which lliey have no oppor- 
' tunity of ti'mrauuicatiug with thu Editors and 
with e-.ieh other, and thus obtaining assislnnccand 
advice from those whom they, ia Lbeir taro, may 
assist with something else — making the Faeuiei: a 
channel whereby they may with facility cotnmuni- 
eate wilh each other. The propriety of my re- 
marks is illustrated by a letter in the Faiuieb or 
the 17th instant, from Mr. Springer of Douglass 
Flat, concerning hie potato-crop. 

As Mr. Springer merely slates the fact, that "as 
toon as the yuuug poialooi began to form, a second 
growth would start therefrom," without Eoying 
anything of the soil on which they wero ptouted, 
further than that it had been well prepared for 
their rcceptioD, and properly hoed, and thai it was 
not naturally too moist, and had not, previous It 
the circumstance which he relates, been irrigated 
lam compelled to confine myself to remarks con- 
nected itith the general physiology of plants, and 
more pirticalarly of the potato. 

When the seed ofaay plant ia pnt in thegronnd 
it imbibes moisture from the soil, sod oxygen from 
I the atmosphere (by which the loose soil on t 
surfaci is permeated), in consequence of which 
partial decomposition of its components takes pill 
t commencing with those which are or a gummy na- 
ture, by means of which the embryo germ of lb. 
future plunt is liberated, and becomes tho com 
inenceraent of another plant. Tho decomposition 
( goes on, furnishing for the elongating bads, from 
the farinaceous and mineral constituents. of the 
seed, maUriul for its enlargement, till it has roots 
strong enough to elaborate them fn>m the soil. 
To toable the plunt to thrive, it is necessary that 
I it have, 03 it progresses in growth, similar ingredi- 
I enla of easy access In the soli. About Ibo time 
, that it is in blossom the Hera and leaves are gen- 
, crally in foil vigor and require a full supply, not 
. only to promote its growth but also Tor other 
reasons. It is soon to undergo a ena D gc Its 
_ Tigor, is the seed begins io ripen, relaxes, and tie 
leaves lock sickly, partly from the tissues which 
conveyed the sap getting clogged up and closed, 
«nd partly Jre-m its more valuable ingredients 
having to be used to a considerable extent in the 
forming seed ; which always contains Ihem in 
greater abundance than Ibo other portions of the 
plunt— nnd baa to do so, u otherwise the seed then 
I forming would be incapable of baring anything 
nilable with which to supply its bud, when its 
turn come to become the parent of a new plunt. 
As the seed ripens it dries, and in the dry slate is 
incapable of geminating/; and thus Nature care- 
fully performs her work, and Mao hat only to ee- 
I Curi ; ™ r blessings, and enjoy her bounty, 
r No sooner, however, does the seed Bud itself in 
■ suitable edition as to heat,air,-nd moisture, 
than it Kerminutes-sometitnes during rainy 
weather sprouting on the stalk; hence, 
eome.t nectary tu prevent tin very means which 
Natnrohaa provided for the perpetuation of bcr 
planus from pr.iviiief Ihi-ir ■!■ -uii.tiur). As an i 
arnpl.. ..f Nature's proceeding., wbieb may tend to 
. elucidate H,u mysterious and opp^^. onoma)ou3 
freak on her part of which Mr. Springer com- 
j.plaina : the cabbage and turnip, as we know in 
northern | a i iluJ es (their natural dime) are h'ien- 
ntalphn!,. growing one year, and ripening their 
•Bed the neil year. But kt na sow cabbage of 
turnip seed in this Slate during winter and if it

This Bam was awarded tho great Priia of 



This Rara was atrsrdf d tho great Prim of 460 Franca, at tho World's Eihibitiou, at Poria, !n 1965.

to the growth and enlargement of the plant, and 
turned exclusively to tbo furmation of seed. 

Let us sec boor far these simple 1»wb of Nature 
ipply to Mr. Springer's case- So long as potatoes 
ire merely putting out leaves and branches, the 
plant is vigorous, and all Is as it ought to bo ; 
but about the time the blossoms appear, and ibo 
ibors begin to form, when both top and botlom 
■e draining from it the most nourishing constit- 
uents of its sap, it assumes an unusual tendency 
to germinate anew from the forming tubers ; evi- 
dently becauso tho balance between the supply 
"nd demand ha? thus been deranged to aneitent 
vhich it could not wllbsland ; and, consequently, 
sort nfunnnlural precocity in the tubers look 
place, aa in the instance of frost on cabbage and 
Is ; and instead orgoing on with tbeir 
of gradual enlargement, as they 






suitable i 



ir, and 



!• diverted from the purpose of ministering 



moisture, they set aboot tbo ncut thing they 
ivould have naturally dona; nimely, sprouting 
mow for the production of auulher crop. 

Let Mr. Springer keep in mind what would 
havo been tho icuiedy in Ibo case of tho cabbago 
plants. Whether tho cflcct was occasioned by 
heat or frost, it was evidently produced by an 
interruption of the natural economy at work for 
their perfect formation, and the cure lay in pre- 
venting such interruption. Perhaps, in Blr. 
Springer's case, the soil is deficient in iheminerat 
luents uf plants in a sufficiently soluble 
state, for the double purpose for which thoy are 
wanted at the time tbo blossoms and tubers nru 
lg. Perhaps It has other peculiirilics, 
vendor the plant of tho potato and its 
forming tubers different from what thoy arc 
when it is in a healthy condition. Of this Mr. 
Springer may bo assured, that either Ihe asp in 
tho plant is from such cause defective, or some 
interruption having the effect of bringing on a 
precocious maturity in (| l0 tubers has taken 
place, and Hint the remedy depends on his a« 
UinSng wherein the difference io bis soil cons 
from that whero potatoes erow without being „ 
affeeled. Meantime, be might try tho effect of 
polling oil the blooms. lam balf-incUncd 
think tho soil waa too much loosened.

until tbo present upportonity, which I 
ploy in pursuance of thu subject which I pre- 
sented to your readers some fan weeks sinoo. 1 
desiro to call their attention to Ibo follnwing sug 
Mankind seek tor enjoyment, from the 
the grave; tho only motivo which 
prompts the mind to action is (hat which prom- 
to that great era) aro all our cf- 
. in all tho multifarious channels 
through life, in every department of business, and 
-" --r social relations, do we seek for happi- 
idycthowfow there aro who attain to 
those positions, wherein thoy aro permitted to 
partake of the realizations or their desires. I 
will pass over the immediate causes of these re- 
sults, snd confine myself moro particularly to a 
consideration of tho means by which thoy may 
obviated. Liko unto tbo physician, who ia 
called to administer unto tbo necessities of a sick 
palient, he docs not stop to enter into a review of 
tho causes which engendered thu disease, but im- 
mediately sets himself about tho muro important 
nnd necessary duty of prescribing a remedy. In 
"dcr to establish a moro healthy social system, 
will first become necoasary lo root out those 
ilbtds of vico nnd folly which abound through- 
it tbo oitent of our Oommonwealth. I have re- 
ference to all tboso various games of pastime ; 

tho fountains from whence spring tho 

germ of tbuse giant ovils which besot us, and un- 
til thoso are effectually dried up, wo need not bono 
io find relief, neither In rigid legislative enact- 
ments, prnbibitury of gambling, nor yet in a re- 
ligious crusade against tho gambler. Therefore, 
irder to banish frnra our midst thoso idle and 
seless practices it will become necessary, first 
.utroduco a subject, or system, which ia calcu- 
lated to proinnlo tho objects that wo have in view. 
All legislative ensctmenta, with revercst penalti 
I avail nothing, hut will rather nggravato tb 
it« tho owil. Like unto the overflowed lands of 
' State, where the talc, grows in oil its rank 
urianee, stubbornly twisting tho scylb 
mower, and, like unto Phonii, recovering 
life from the Asmes of the consuming fires; „„, 
dilch and drain tho land, sbntout tho floods, and 
Ibo tule disappears, and in its plica Is seen n r 
and luiurianl pasturage, teeming with lowing 
herds and bleating flocks, and furnishing habita- 
tions for man. Thus may wo successfully war 
.t the disorders and corruption which crery- 
abound. Tho intellectual soil of our pco- 
pio requires draining, that it may ha freed from 
tho stagnant waters in which it is submerged, 
and the genial myaof thosun of Intelligence shall 
penetrate tho rich soil, giving life and beauty 
acre nuw theru is nuught but a desolate waato, 
The numerous benevolent and moral-reform 
associations which ovist amongonr people, though 
■iitriljuiid in a measure towards the 
of the condition of society, havo 
Riled to awaken in the minds of our people gon- 
rally, the Importance of cultivating n laslo for 
intellect,,,] amusements. The object of many of 
these associations is merely negali.o, devoted to 
the prohibition of somo local oril, through tbo 
restraints nf self-denial i further than this thoy 
have nut advanced ; thoy have forniibcd 



which has torsi itself from Iho excitements n 
thoso evils to which it was so long attached ; am 
consequently do wo so frequently sk them re 
lapse into their former indulgences, with ombil 
tered minds, at tho tamo and uninviting reward 
rhlcb thoy have found in exchange for then 
former attachments. Other associations havi 
furnished a speciDc in tho observance of somi 
peculiar object or pursuit, resulting in the classi 
Gcation of Ihe individual members of tho com 
innnily, and ceasing to contribute to its welfare 
beyond the limits of their sects. Therefore, ir. 
order to a successful prosecution of the wot 
against thu greater evils by which wo are sur- 
rounded, it will bo necessary loopen the campaign 
,y a descent upon tho lessor vices so pregnant 
imong us. But, before going into action it nil] 
ikewiso be necessary to introduce a system, am- 
liiry to tho oipcdltion, which shall havo for its 
object, tho safe keeping nnd tho naturalization of 
such parties of tho enemy as shall become prison- 
n>»- hands. Thus will wo not only bo 
i dispense with tho necessity of placing 
r the prisoners which we shall havo 
when the war is ended, and victory 
perched upon our banners, those who 
had fallen into our bands as enemies, will go 
lorth as proselytes to our cause, proclaiming to 
their kindred and nalion, tho revelations of wis- 
and of truth. 

will now proceed lo tho proposition or tho 
organization of a society which shall ho denomi- 
nated tho Association uf Universal Knowledge 
and which shall havo for its object the acquisition 
and tho dissemination of tbcoreUeal and practical 
philosophy, combining in its pracllconnd research 
the fields of science and art, and directing tho 
"•-ids nf its members into thnso channels which 
most congenial lo iho tastes of each, Id th( 
pursuit of somo intellectual and practical amuse- 
ment, which shall nnt only tend to wean thorn 
from tholr attachment io those idle games or pas- 
time, but shall likewise develop tho rich re- 
sources of those minds which otherwise would 
continue dormant. There is a largo class of our 
people, and, moro particularly, those of very lim- 
iled education, who regard wientlflo pursuits as 
belonging solely to tho professional fraternity, 
— 1 to be attained only through tho medium of 
college,, and seminaries of learning; hence, 
iliey. loo frequently, through want of confidence 
Ihelr abilities to acquire a knowledge of tho 
. ilosophical truths, smother tho yearn- 
ings of tholr own minds, after a knowledge of 
' things, in the Injunction forbiddlug approach 
to those subjects which they regard a, l,,l„„j;,r„- 
unto themselves. This is a very great error, 
n which may be apprehended the greatest 
obstacle to bo encountered in (ho successful or- 
ganization of Ihe project. The minds of tho 
mosses should bo disabused of these impressions, 
and taught i look upon tbo fields of science as 
plantaiiens of intellectual wealth, which have 
been bestowed upon thorn by tho beneficent hand 
of Deity, with iho same rights and pririlegesi as 
Jponthe princes and kings of Iho carlb. And 
vhethor it ho upon the mountain tups, or in tho 
"lleys ; in the aparscly populated districts of the 
country, or in tbo densely crowded cities upon 
Ibo seaboard, the great book of philosophy and 
art 18 open alike lo all, imparling in a unlvoi 
-language, to the unlettered 



rithout money and without price. Periodical 
dobwoa. lectures, osperimonUI illustrations, oihl- 
hitiona. wherein Astronomy, Geology, Chemistry, 
and Natural Philosophy, afford abundance of all 
that which will amuse and delight all classosand 
people. Establish ono of these as- 
each of our mining towns through- 
out tho Slalo, and in each or our cities, free from 
itrainta of religious creeds of sectorianlem, 
itainlcd by political strife, where men of 
every creed, and ofovery political bias may meat 
in tho bonds of brotherhood, lo seek amusement 
and pastime in tho pursuits of universal knowl- 
adge, whose members shall abstain from all in- 
toxicating drinks, and from all those idle games, 
ind a brief period will elapse until tho quicken- 
ng influences of thoso associotiona shall bo seen 
md rolt throughout tho extent of our Oommon- 
vcalth, 

Tho oxerciaea of these associations should bo 
nado as public and free as circumstances will 
lermit, thereby Ingrafting upon tho mindu of tho 
ommunity aroond them tho example of their 
vorka. 

They woold become depositories of natural 
:urtositiea, thereby inducing thousands of our 
people to make a more thorough and extended 
obligation into tho geological organization of 
mining districts, The miner, tho agricultur- 
.. , and tho artisan would become contributors to 
its archives, from tho prolific resources of their 
various pursuits, and tho knowledge which now 
lies hidden from the musses, would gradually be- 
come diffused among the people. The associt- 
tiona should hold tboir annual fair or gathering 
in some central and convenient locality, to which 
delegates should bo sent, lo taku charge of all 
contributions belonging to their rcspeclitodoposi- 
torjoa i and likewise for tho purpose of a free in- 
terchange of general informalion. Thn institn- 
tion should be known nnd designated as the 
People's Fair, for tho Advancement of Universal 
Knowledge. Our sister States upon tho Atlantic 
border, would follow our example. Thus will 
dawn a now era upon tho condition of our people ; 
men of intelligence and of moral woiih will then 
adorn our legislative hills; the judicial and ei- 
ccutlta departments ofour goiornment will thon 
bo consecrated to tho sacred mandates of eternal 
justice and truth, ond tho future greatness of oar

THE OALIFO'ENU FARMEB. 



A How Motive Power. 
Tns Baltimore Patriot is enthusiastic own 
new motile power, alleged to hare bcon diseov- 
cred and brought Into practical operation by 
Prof. J. 0. F. Salomon, of that city. It is oiled 
tbo "Sulpb. Oil Carbonic Acid Engine." 
Professor b»s been at work on bis discovery for 
tbo last ten years, during which time be has beer) 
aided by some of tho most opoiont and intelligent 
citizens of Baltimore, Tbo machine isacor 
. rectilineal sleam-cngino, differing in no ms 
feature from those in general use, only a 
motor is used, which is Ibos described b 
Patriot: 

'•The patent novelty consists in tho n 
power and its application, which wholly ; 
sedes steam. This motor is produced by a 
pound of d.\ 6ulphiati .1 bi. gnlphurot of carbon, 
coal lav, and volatile or fixed oil, which, under 
certain influences of beat, becomes powerfully 
expansile, and thus (Hires momentum. Though 
only a four-bor&j engine, it was performing the 
estimated duty of ten horses, and has been so 
doing since put in ope rati on. nearly a fortnight apo. 
The great virtu o and triumph of (his wonderful 
invention, which, in all probability, will causer 
revolution in mechanics, aro its economy. Barely 
and power, combining, also, cheapness and con 



The fluid, or gas, constituting tbo motive power, 
is used over and over again with scarcely an}' 
diminution or waste being thrown, after perform- 
ing its wort, froni the heater to the cuuden.'er. 
and from the condenser to the beater again, with 
thorough renovation. Tho beater, where the gas 
or fluid is introduced, is submerged in a cistern 
Of heated oil, kept hot by a gentle fire. In this 
condition, the gas expands, gaining its power and 
passing through pipes and valves, acts upon the 
pistou, giving motion to tho engine. Tbo appli- 
ances aro simple, easy of comprehension, free 
from complication, 1 and not subject to accident or 
disarrange menu Thus a steady, aclivo force is 
at all times kept up. 

The cost of ibis fluid is estimated at ten cents 
per gallon, and it is demonstrated that eighteen 
gallons, by careful attention, tvill run an engino 
of tho capacity hero noticed, for one year. Its 
components are such as not to freeze, even at 
ninety degrees below zero. The amount of fuel 
is, tn a proportion of fifteen pounds of coat to one 
hundred pounds, compared with a steam -engine 
o! the Same dimensions, uliih-t mure than double 
the force can be brought into requisition." 

A trial with steam, under an equal application 
of beat, is said to hove clearly demonstrated a 
great superiority of this now motor, in its appli- 
cation, over steam. With a degree of heat which 
produced eighty revolutions per minute with the 
new motor, the steam-engine moved but slightly 
and stopped. Besides, it is claimed that explosion 
is impossible, and thus a great point it gained in 
obviating danger. A number of scientific gentle- 
men and practical machinists, wbu have witnessed 
the operations of this engine, esprcss themselves 
confident or its success. Prof. Salomon is a 
niliveof Prussia, but has been a citizen of the 
United States for twenty-seven years.

Bota in Horses. 
Tut following simple and safe remedy for the 
Bots in Dor;c3, i3 given by a correspondent in the 
Homestead -. Bots ere the larva or maggots of a 
species of gad fly, that during the months of Au- 
gust and September d. posiiii its eggs on the mnne, 
shoulders, legs, and other parts which the animal 
is apt to lick. These eggs are, according to tome 
writers, immediately batched by the beat and mois- 
ture or the mouth, and aro conveyed with tbo food 
into tho stomach, where they fasten themselves to 
the mow, or insensible coaling of tho stomach, by 
means of a couple or small hooks or claws with 
which they are furnished. As long as tbey remain 
here they are nol an injury to the horse. On the 
contrary, some writers contend that tbey nro a 
benefit to him, but in what way I nm unable to 
say. When the msgguls become fullygrown they 
somelimts attack the sensible coating or the 
stomach, and often cat through it ant) destroy the 
life of lie animal. This is owing to tho disordered 
■tale ol the digestive organs, for when these worms 
have attained a certain size, they loosen their bold 
upon the maw, and If the stomach is in Its proper, 
healthy tone, they win be passed out of It, and the 
animal remain uninjured. It is only when they 
remain too long iu the stomach, that they do any 
injury. Charcoal or wood ashes should he gii 
to burses, in moderate quantities at (his season 
give a healthy tone to the stomach), especially if 
they are rough add shaggy in the hair, poor eat- 
ers, or any unusual stiffness observable in them, 
for that is a sign of the presence or bote. When 
these worms once attack the stomach, it is almost 
impossible te make tbem let go their hold, and in 
Tact many persons are of opinion that it is useless 
to attempt to save tho life of the beast when that 
is the ease ; but I am confident it can bo done. 1 
feel certain that I have saved tbo lives of my own 
horses when attacked by them, in tbo following 
manner : Tnlte one tcaspoonlul of pulverized iodi- 
go. pour on it a pint of water, until the indigo is 
pretty well dissolved, and then drench tho horse 
with it If the bota have already eaten through 
the slemach of ibe horse, and In that case 
not possible recover, it will be almust instanta- 
neous death, but if nol, they will loosen their 
hold, and bo pressed out. 

'This enre is simple and perfectly safe- for 
should it prove to bo something else that ailed the 
horse, the indigo will nut injure him. Why i- j 
that iodigo causes them to quit the stomach, 
esonot tell, but hope lhat others will help Ui ii 
veatigatu the matter. 



Bow to get rid Of Ants? 

We extract tbo following amusing, and to 

those troubled with Ants, interesting sketch, 

from (i commnnioBtion in tha Burn! American : 

When I have soon certain la:y pooplo trying 
to exterminate- ants from their promises, I have 
verily thought it was because- they wished to 
get rid of tho Wiso Man's reminder. "Go to 
too ant, thou sluggard ; consider her way* und 
bn wiso." Bat not so with everybody. Not so 
with indnstrious editors, surely. I find them in 
tbo sugar bowl and tea cup ; thoy infest my 
wife's choice sweetmeats nnd Coke. I havo a 
favorite seat in my gardro, whore I rest from 
summer Inbnrs, nnd for my children fr in tli. n 
sports ; bat no sooner aro we fairly seated, than 
thu ants nppenr, run up our ankles, our coal 
shoves and toko great liberties with our whole 
person. Alas! forourrest; forour enjoyment 
of the fine scenery snroad out beforo us. Wo 
aro besieged, infested, captured and our only 
safely is in flight. 

I planted, a few years ngo. somo choice pear 
trees, and had taken special pnin- to give them 
n fine foil, and to keep It in good cultivation ; 
but no sooner had they bi'gon to grow apace, 
than tho roots of several were infested with ant 
hills. "Give 'em plenty o' salt," said n milli- 
bar, looking over the gardcu fence and seeing 
my despair ; "Salt 'cm down, und they'll scamp- 
er. I 'sure you." So, I "salted 'em down;" 
when I salted rather thick, tho tree died, and 
when less was applied, the littlo pests did not 
mind it at all; or at most, only moved their 
household furniture a few inches, and began 
operations afresh. I conoludod thoy wore not 
■green" as tho fanner had supposed, hut 
■> regular "old salts." nnd were not sorry to 
got a littlo salt to keep their summer stores from 
ipoiling. _ 

Having related my experience to nn old fruit- 
grower in this vicinity , be lifted his bat. nnd told 
in that two methods of extermination were yot 
ft, vii., pounding nnd boiling them! After ho 
had fully explained both processes, I commenced 
"*' i. I approached on nut hill, softly as 
ut to spring upun a helpless lamb, and 
soraped off tbo dirt from tho surface, 
beetle, and began to pound Ao littlo 
Cents as thoy camo running out to see what 
Iho matter. Undoubtedly, n largo numb< 
i killed, and it was a long time before Iht 
bill recovered itself. But, in my furious 
a limb of the tree was broken, and tho 
» worn injured, somewhat. A few da' 
after, I tried the other remedy, boiling. Too 
"rt was scraped off, as before, n few holes made 
tli" bill, ami lulling v,-,,!,-r j-mr.-'j in. Hun- 
dreds of tho littlo fellows camo running out in 
tho midst of tbo pouring, as if to say, "ho I ho ! 
we don't mind this much; wn'vt) been in hot 
water before, down there in tho kitchen cabinet ; 
so, pour away, keup up tho steam I" Yet, not- 
withstanding this show of pluck. I think some- 
thing effectual was dona. I weakened the 
enemy's forces, if. I did not wholly di-slny 
"' em. It was n lone: time bi-fi.ro ili.-ir defences 
r ■ vpuircd and their numbers mudo good. 
Wishing to benefit my pear trees ns much us 
possible, I gave them, last summer, frequent 
rutoringa from tho tub at our sink spout, whero 
ro poured all tho house slops from day to duy. 
Judgi- or my surprise, when, after a few weeks, 
I found tho nnt hills deserted entirely, nnd tho 
CMOS growing unmolested ! Halting Vm down, 
id pounding and boiling, could nut drive them 
vay; hut wheo tbo sink-slops came running 
dowu into their pulors and bed-rooms, they 
Id not stand it, hut fled in dingus! ! I beg 
ant-nfiliclcd readers of tho Iiuml American 
to try this remedy, and I know they will thank 
me for the nbuve information. 

My joy on first making this discovery, was a 
littlo dampened, when 1 reflected that, while 
ink-elop were a very euitablo npplkntisio |,. r 
Im roots of pear trots,, tbey would hurdly an- 
wor for our summer-seal in the garden, nor for 
the sugar-bowl. But while I wag turning" this 
"' ir in my mind, a letter camo from on 
ng friend, who knew my troubles, end bod 
i similar oiperionco himself. Ho Boys: 
For the pantry and tho gnrdcu-sent, use this : 

'""I: ounce of corrosive -.n I. limine, mil it in

lixturo to every emok or crevice, to Hr. H il|(, 
of your windows, and the thresholds of your 
doors, whero nuts appear, and in a short time 
Iho pests will disappear. This application 
should be made in summer, about once in three

Althcidoh there preparations aro so litll? "« d 
in England, lucre is no reason {says tho SclonttBc 
American) why thoy should not become a regular 
article in Iho housekeeper's store-room ; they a 
easy to prepare, and ire very agreeable to 11 
palate, also economical, as Ihey supercede tho u 
ardent spirits and wine. On the Continent it 
a common practice to drink siinplo sirup (which 
is called ea«(n.CTs,bulwhich wo term capillaiie), 
diluted with water to tho taslo of Lho drinker. 

CapiUain is madolhus: Dissolve about 
poundsof the best refined white sugar in one 1 
of water; boil tho mixture for Gvcorton minutes, 
then strain it through lawn, or a hair sieva ; whe 
cold it is fit for use. 

Sirup of Chwes.— Proceed In the tamo way 1 
for making capillaire, but with tho sugar add 
thirty or forty cloves lhat havo been brokr- "' 
ground. 

All tho sirups of spices as cinnamon, nutmeg, 
ginger, &c., can bo mode in the same way. 

Simjii uj Fruit.— These aro prepared in 
similar manner to capillaire, substituting tho 
juicesof tho Iruit in place of thn water; in this 
way it is very oasy to make sirup of oranges. 
Beforo the oranges are squeexed, to express their 
juice, each omngo should be well rubbed or grnted 
with ihe lump sugar— by so doing the fine flavor 
of tho rind is preserved. All these simps nr- 
drunk by diluting them wilh water. About 
wine-glassful of sirup to a lumber of wsior wi 
be found to make a pleasant draught. 

Sirup of Coffee.— Take about ao ounce or the 
finest calico, ground, and a pint of cold W 
allow Ihctn to stand together for twclvo hours or 
more, then strain, and add one pound and a half 
of sugar; boil foronoor two minutes — not longer, 
and again slrnin. 

Sirup of Tea.— One pint of water, two pounds 
of sugar, an ounce of black tea; boil together for 
fire minutes, or rather less, and then strain. A 
wine glassful to half a pint of cold water makes 
very good cold tea.

lo you think," said Mr. North, " lhat that 
in was to blame for tho killine; of those two 
and herself? There was no other course 
that she could havo taken. SoppOsto sht 
gone la her relations, and told them tho whole 
,th : how wonld;fihc havo been received ? Why, 
sirs, thoy would bavo said to her; 'get out of the 
house, you impudent hussy 1 lfoiv di 
como around decent folks J' And tho world 
uld have followed suit. But suppose Ihey had 
:■'--.-. vt- -i to give hor shelter, their aeU to-

Ion being ; and her child would forever have been 
iproachcd with hor mother's infamy (I)." 
" If she bad managed to got off with some ol 
that money," said the Peddler, "it would have 
been all right. People never ask questions of the 
■lch.» 

" This is too truo," said Mr. North, " sso far as 
nen are concerned; but with women it is diffcr- 
nt. People who are jealous and envious are also 
cowards. They are afraid to attack a man ; bat 
they know that they can haul a woman down 
id trample her Into the dust. But, Mr. Ped- 
dler, when you said that money would have made 
her all right, it would seem lhat you included the 
lords of creation in your catalogue of buyable 
things. Hew is that ?" 
"Tho whole world is for sale," said tho Pod- 
er i " but women aro easier sold than men : that 
all the difference.." 

" Do yon bold that everybody can bo bought," 
id North. 

"That is just my doctrine," said lho Peddler; 
■■ but thoy are all for tnlo in different ways, and 
it would require different things to buy them, 
Money, however, would buy lho majority of man- 
kind. To buy somo men it would require mil- 
lions of dollars; but there is hut one woman on 
tho facoof the earth hut could bo bought with 
leu that. ■ million. You can all imagine that 
your sweetheart is lhat on*. Of courtn ,he is 
perfect— sac could not bo bought— no, not he 
Every man believes that if there is not anoth.

her out cf sacks pretty soon, and so I did, for jusi 
as she had given mo tho sixth one, another felloi* 
camo along, and, as she had ;tnri/ sack left, jhs 
hs4 to say, " Yes," 

Sometimes I would say to myself, " , ,£ c 

sbo loves you certain. I can toll that by thu cut 
of her eye." Then tho first thing I would know 
I would be ssuying : " In lovo with who t What 
is there about you that a girl could lovo 7 Yog 
aro as ugly as old Nick ; your manners are not 
elegant; you are ill-nutared and h igh- tempered • 
you aro cros^s- grained and cross-eyed; you i n 
bow-backed and bow-legged; you have a big doss 
and a big foot; you aro poor and improvident - 
you can't stood sleeves with more than six widths 
of clolb in them ; you are down on the faahictuj, 
generally, and Godey's Ladies' Book in particu- 
lar." Yon often say : 

"'.Of God above, or (wo)man below, 

What can na reason, but torn what we know -» 
and if you reason from what you know, yon 
know that she can't lovo you ; therefore, when 
shu sacks you, you can't blamn bcr." 

Now, kind and sympathetic reader, promise mo 
that you won't tell the girls what I have saldei 
myself, because thoy would believe it was all b>, 
and I would havo to fry my own flap-jacks all lit 
balance of my days. In Idling my experience Is 
toy guests, I bopponed to mention how comfort- 
able it would bo to havo some one to fry flap- 
jocks, Ac., when Mr. North said : 

''Men make no bones of saying that they wasl 
lo got a wife to wait upon them j but if a. womiB 
should say thai she wanted to marry to get clear 
of work, what would become of her? Who 
would have her 7 You may talk and think whit 
you please; but men are tyrants. They requlrs 
a hundred-fold mora of woman than they are nil]. 
tap; or able to do tbcmsolves; and then, if they 
perform tho required duty to tho letter, tbey ait 
still slandered. Men can't or won't bo pleased. 
If, for example, a young man goes to see a young 
lady, and she gives him somo encouragement, 
'Oh!' ho will say, 'oh ! sho is too willing.' Ob 
tho other hand, if she doea like what mostof them 
now- a. days arc obliged lo do, why he says atonct 
thai she is a coquette. Now, can any mortal liy 
down any rule Ibat thoy could go by, nnd plciss 
(ico men. or oven one!" 

" You and I," said the Peddler, " might areas 
tho question for a month, and got no closer: so 
I'll lell you what I'll do. I will leave it to Mr, 

South and Mr. , &c. Lot them make up as 

'opinon.'and I'll flt&mi'i toil. But we will make 
tbem promise first lhat it shall be ' 'poo hono 

"I agree lo it," snid Mr. North ; ' ; and their de-

■n elder son or brother, who is reading aloud 
come interesting book of travels, or one of Dick- 
ens' stories. Ho reads in no drawling, sing-song 
(one, but throws life and character into the lan- 
guage of tho author. Ho delivers the remarks 
Of "Cap'n Cutllc" in a rough, solemn, and oracu-

It is this accomplishment which many desire 
to see taught in schools. Almost all children 
ro.ii he taught lo read well. What child to there 
who cannot tell a story well. The bo; has met 
with some tragic or amusing adventure, and he 
runs in and gives his mother a most glowing de- 
scription of It; be imitates, unconsciously and 
naturally, the voices of bis playmates who were 
engaged with him in this alTair; heinakes present 
tho past event. Now, can [t bo denied that he 
may be able to read tho same, or a similar adven- 
ture, with the samo tones and umphasis of voice 
with which he told il7 But for so long a time 
children have bora taught lo read at school from 
books which (hey do not understood, or in which 
they take no interest, that thoy have acquired a 
drawling way, a lifekij, mechanical stylo, in 
which lo "speak up loudly mi. I distinctly" is ei- 
ccllenco enough. I am glad to admit that a refor- 
mation has begun in this department of instruc- 
tion, but (hero will need a generation or an of 
School children, and tho constant and varied 
efforts of teachers and parents, La recover from 
Iho effects or the old-fashioned way. 

A plan to accomplish something in the way of 
improvement in sc boot -reading, which bag the 
recommendation of success, and is, at tho same 
time, an illicit:; tin,; . iereii.e inr (Li: schools is as 
follows: 

Let the teaeher select a story from somo book 
or magazine, which he will be sure shall interest 
bin boys. Let him give tho book containing it 
to some boy, asking bim to read tho story over 
to himself a few times, to become familiar wilh 
it ; and at or near tho closo of school, let the boy 
read it aloud to his schoolmates. Before com- 
mencing, however, let tho tcacbci recall some 
amusing oven I which has recently taken place, or 
select some anecdote from (bo scrap-book, and 
lot him repeat (bis to (ho school in a slow.dri 
log way, in a forced, unnatural voice. They 
slflaugb at such a rendering, and will appiei 
(ho meaning of the teacher when ho changes 
tone and style, and gives (hem the event or 
eedolo in a natural, unaffected way. Turning 
now, to the reader, let him remark to bim, "You 
can take yoar choice or these two ways of read- 
ing. 1 As bo read>,do nol discourage him by too 
fnqiicm iiilerrupti.,,,,, I,,n. oK^ionally, whenbe 
relapses into tho drawl, repeat the passage, kind- 
ly, in the better way, and auk him to noltco and 
imitate your manner. Wl„„ |, c i, a „ ended, read 
to them yourself, some other good slory, and lot 
your stylo bo worthy of imitation.. Ilavo those 
readings often, Bo suro that ibo otory is natu- 
rally wrilU-ti, is lively or veiling, in ,mort, make 
(bo exercise one that all shall bo glad lo engag.

which good stories may be selected [ but, in these 
days of books, (ho teacher need seldom be at loss 
for a a tory . 

OosnjMttlaaa, 
Olio method of making that bugbear of 
position" less frightful, may be grafted upon the 
above-mentioned reading curci'c* Let the Story 
Which has been heard from tho' teacher or the 
reader, be the thcuie for » composition. Require 
the scholars (o write out thu slory from momorr

(hen they should look over tho work,

In (his way thoughts arc furnished them, and 
thoy practice themselves in giving Ufitniwi lo 
these thoughts. This, os I think, is at tho foun- 
dation of success in composing, namely : expell- 
ing thoughts, no matter whence they are derived. 
After the student has learned to write out bit 
Ideas, and to write them grammatical! v, on 1 .Mil 
correctness in punctuation and tho other details, 
be may enter on a course of inventing ideas for 
himself. If (his courso is adopted, the writer, 
when ho has learned to express himself freely 
and correctly, will bo nolongcr impeded, clogged, 
confused ivith Aos to write, and the ichal « 

rito will arrange itself clearly and easily in hi: 

Another advantage of this method to, (hat chil- 

eo tro fond of writing slorius while they dread 
"compositions," and (hoy can thus bo induced lo 
get Into a habit of writing, so tbat they litem- 
solve?, unconsciously, slrip tho object of their 
fears or its disagreeable disguise. 

Tho plan of the writer in teaching this subject 
has long been founded on these principles, and 
Iho successes of (bo plan have determined its ci- 
celtenco. 

In detail, it is as follows: 

On Wednesday afternoon a slory ia read ; one- 
half of (ho school (say Iho younger), write (his 
off upon their slates, as roughly as thoy pleiso, 
taking care only to get In tho wholo slory, with- 
" * omissions or nllcrallons; (hey (hen write it 
fully, and as correctly as (hay can, on half 
foolscap sheets ol paper, and hand (hem in 



tho close of school. I take thesi

Spiritualism. 
e so much Is said and written upon tho 
Bobject; wbilo Romany of (bo designing of man- 

and while tvo lamont the wreck of mind, by a (do 

close study of the hidden mystery of tho "mighti- 

man" within, there is a duty all uwc to science, 

hear calmly, judge wisely, and use tho light of 

ison and revelation Willi allducdiligcuce. We 

id the following very ilrong article, under (bo 

editorial head of the Boston Traveller, which 

paper to considered one of the ablest published in 

(he Union, and would not, without due thought, 

have published what it would not sanction. We 

:nd (bese remarks to our readers : 

, there has appeared in our ago what pur- 

f the spiritual spht 






idly dislingnish it from 



phenomena of the same general charac- 
ter — some ol thin, ii. i..l-i ir,|.' it repulsive toculti- 
-lied minds; others, (ha( strongly commend it 
i llie [iliiluii-jjiliii-nl, whii seek demonstration as 
ground or conviction upon all subjects. We 
speak of matters familiar in most of our com- 
lilics for somo years, and need not (bcreforo go 
details, Tho leading facts ol what Is called 

■ [ihnlll'.liMn me |ir.|(v i.-. niratlv admitted. 

The charge of deception and humbug bu he- 
me absurd. The great majority of (he people 
ive witnessed Its slrango and unaccountable 
. lenomcna, under circumstances and in the 
presence of persons where fraud or charlatanry 
were oul of the question. Inouimatu bodies have 
been moved by unseen agency, and ideas com- 
municated from unknonn sources. And these 
ihmc.i have occurred, and still occur, in iiinuintr- 
■il'le him Hires, and before witnesses of uml..iii,[, ,1 
voracity. These are facts, as well established aa 
any Tacts can bo by human testimony, and the 
scrutiny of them is cooslontly within tho reach 

Let (hem bo examined and dealt with by rea- 
soning men, as mailers or fact. Wo do no[ dto- 
cuss (ho value of tho disclosures nindo by spirit 
ualism; they do not seem to us of any special 
Import. Tho assumption that (heso (hings oro 
(he work of disembodied human spirits— as Ihey 
proclaim themselves— aflur.to a itii.iiuc! i|ne-:ii,jri 
l.y il-'.lf. which wo do not now discuss. But 
here is a class of new phenomena— now to this 
age, at least— not referable to any univcr allj ad-

Wo believe (be poet Pope bad been reclining 
beneath the- noble trees in Windsor Forest, 
and had wandered in a dream 
Golden Stale, when he wrote of the fair land 
he has to beautifully pictured. Over and over 
again have wo read Iho above lines ill past yoars, 
as wo roamed beneath those trees made famous In 
poesy, and Ihey have dwelt upon our mind here, 
as we in faith looked forward to what wo believed 
would yet bo writlen of California; and when, in 
J 53 wo had painted upon the walla- of tho Exhibi- 
tion rtooms.tMusicalHall-CauFoema I THE 
GARDEN OF TOE WORLD I our faith was 
renewed, and now when wo look around us, as 
wo view our market*, in each and every city, as 
we pass through the streets, aa wo stroll through 
tho towns, even in tha interior, on the right hand 
and on Iho left, our eyes arc gladdened by tho 
sight of orchards and gardens, loaded with lus- 
cious fruits, and fragrant with gorgeous flowers, 
aDd in almost every store, and on the comers of 
the streets, fruits the most rare are olfered.aod at 
prices, too, that they who desire con haie an 
abundance, at a moderate coEt j and we feel on 
unspeakable pleasure in seeing tho fulfillment of 
our hopes and predictions, and hearing a thousand 
voiccssay California will bo "Toe Gauoem oi 
tuk WoBLot" If we had over doubted our owi 
failh In these predictions, what wo have seen ir 
the past week would have removed all doubt. 

Tho last Sabbath morn found us at tho Porno- 
lugica] Gardens of A. P. Smith, Esq., or Sacra- 
mento, wbaro wo had arrived on the evening pre 
vices, after a ride among the grain fields of that 
county. In the early morning we were sealed oi 
tho lookout, which is erected upon tho cottage 
and there, as tho birds were singing their morn 
iug song, amid tho fragtanco wafted to u 
from the dewy petals of thousands of flowers, ii 
the spacious gardens below us, aa our eye 
gazed in admiration upon that extensive orchard 
of mora than fifty acres, and could clearly see the 
trees bending Kith the weight of their now ripen- 
ing fruit; as wo looked fir and wide over Holds of 
grain, and fields of now mown hay ; as we looked 
to tho fair city of Sacramento, with her granite 
stores, ber splendid residences, her churches and 
public buildings; as we turned and saw the 
towering Sierras, with their snowy caps piled up 
against the very Heavens, seeming to laugh 
tho dark form of "Diablo," far away on the Coast 
Range ; as with ono glance wc looked upon the 
steamers at Iho city, with another upon thi 
plains, and tho winding of "Los Americanos" wltl 
her now muddy waters, and then down upon (hi 
beaoliful spot that wo so well remembered as i 
waste In '49 ; wo could but ciclalin, truly oui 
hopes are now realized, our predictions verified 
and hero wo have found a Moorim Eden— nni 
the words of the poet that we have quoted arc in- 
deed most applicable lo this spot. 

Smith's Garden, now so well-known and cele- 
brated for its luscious fruits and flowers, is be- 
yond doubt, the largest and most extensive gar- 
den Inall California, and contains more f rait- hear- 
ing trees, and of greater variety, a larger orchard 
and nursery than Can bo found elsewhere in our 
State ; and In thus speaking we do no injustice 
to any orchaidisl or nurseryman. Every candid 
mind will admit this fact, and in justice lo Mr. 
Emilh, in justice to all who desire to know these 
fads, injustice to ono whohaseipoodedaprlucc- 
ly fortune to make this garden what It Is, wc 
promulgate theso Irulhs. Wo havo traveled 
over the Stale, and have had opportunity lo know, 
and wc assert that all who will visit theso exten- 
sive and elegant grounds will sustain as In these 
remarks, and if they have Dover aeen the garden 
before will thank us tor this information. 

The time we spent at tho gardens wo devoted 
to close observation of the fruit-bearing trees, and 
the prospect of orchard and nursery, so that we 
could direct with facility, tboso who desire lo 
plant orchards tho coming autumn, whore lo ob- 
tain tho most desirable trees, vines, etc- Never 
havo we seen an orchard presenting a nobler as- 
pect or prospect. A strong and healthy growth 
and appearance was universal over every variety 
of tree, vine, shrab and plant, all indicating ihat 
supervisory caro that alone < 



Oallforeis,sndthatfi6eraiejpen(ii(ureo/r(u!ani, 
without which no great results can bo obtained. 
Tho fruil-bosring trees are :i sight to behold. 
tore to say Ibora Is no spot of earth that 
could excel Smith's garden nt this season of tho 
*r, in tho variety and quality of froit, and the 
rantity npon each tree. Somcof tho palscogar- 
dcos of Europe may show samplo specimens ; but 
of fruit grown by LhD means used, horn 
they sro without sn equal. Wo shall soon givo 
full statistics of crops of these grounds, and there- 
fore defer them now. 

Wo examined and lasted somo twenty varieties 
of Peaches, Nectarines, Pears, Apples, Ac., and 
boldly sssert thoy cannot bo beaten. Tbo Draw- 
ford Early bad just passed, but were magnificent; 
Old Mixim, free and cling, splendid; tbo Ucalb, 
Kcwlngton, Oooligo Favorite, and Honest John, 
unsurpassed ; ond when wo camo to tho Georgo 
IV., our mouth watered. Wo are now satisfied 
that this is lo be one of tho Peaches that should 
bo extensively cultivated. It is a white mealed, 
luscious and very juicy Peach, deep red at tho 
stone, foil sixo. and a great bearer. Mr. Smith 
has a crop of this Peach Iho present year that 
will count by Iho hundreds of bushels, and, as a 
wise fruit grower, has grown largely of lhat va- 
riety. Wo saw trees lhat will yield ten and fif- 
teen, if not twenty bushels lo the tree. The Late 
Admirable and Crawford's Late, will yield him 
an enormous crop, and. in sixo, equal if not sur- 
pass any Peaches yet shown in this Siato. So 
great is tho crop, lhat heavy supporters of joico 
are placed in tho centre of tho trees, and tho 
branches tied up strongly. Many other 
are in best condition. 

The Pear trees hang loaded with c 
crops. Tho Bartlett is of wonderful i 
beauty; Ducbe^se d'Angoulemo enormous — will

Wilder, look opon this California garden. Proud, 
ho may well be of Hawthorn Grovo,our friend 
Smilh can even beat this king of fruit growers, 
both in sixo and quantity, the present year. 

The Apples, Grapes, Figs and other fruits at 
these gardens arc doing well. The foreign Grapes 
arc now ripeoiog handsomely in Iho open air — 
(what will oureastern friends say lo this?) Tho 
Hamburg, Golden Chassclas, Chasselas of Fon- 
Uinbleau, Cannon Hall Muscat, Muscat of Alex- 
andria, Malaga aod others, lung in (ioc, large and 
full clusters. 

Tho Strawberry ground has now its period of 
rest. Shortly it comes to its foil crop again. 

The nursery conlains trees of every kind, and 
of tho best varlclles, and of strong, healthy 
growth, i Wo noticed Peach, Nectarine, Apricot 
and Plum trees, from Ova to seven foot high, 
handsomely formed, of the growth of iho present 
year, from the hud. Cherry and Pear of six, 
seven and even ten feet, and most vigorous ; and 
other froit trees in all their variety, and orna-

is this characier of health and fiullfuluess that

tho finest oreature of this tribo ii 

States, If not in tho world. Troly hi 



tho TJnitod 
ho been 



named, for he is amung sheep what the building 
ho was named for Is among tho varied forms of 
architectural beauty lhat grace Europo or Amer- 
ica— tha finest known. 

Tho importation and brooding or Sheep, and 
the raising nf tbo very best of Sheep, both 
for wool and mutton, sro matters of great mo- 
ment to tbo Slate. It is already conceded that 
wo havo tbo finest climate and tho best graxing- 
grouDd in tbo world for this purpose, and no ono 
can for a moment doubl that wool-growing will 
always pay. No ono article of our products will 
pay so well, and it Is a business that cannot be 
overdone. Wo are largely indebted to foreign 
countries every year for tho wool 10 supply C "" 
manufacturers, and our Gold is sent abroad 
pay for wool and other arliolea lhat wo should 
and could produce upon our own shores. 

It is now our purpose to call tbo attention of 
our stock-growers and out readers generally 
tho imporUoco of Wool-growing in California, 
and wo shall present briefly somo facta to show 
that we are destined to be a great Wool-growing 
country, and that thus far it has been successful. 
Messrs. Whitney wore tho pioneer sheep im- 
porters to any extent, and tboy havo been emi- 
nently successful, of which wo havo written in 
previous numbers. Their sheep bavu greatly in- 
creased in sixo, quality and fineness of wool, a! 
the new progeny born and acclimated, and 
their largely increased flocks prove. A large 
flccco was taken tbo first year, and tha wool sold 
promptly at forly-flvo cents a pound. 

Messrs. Daniel Gibb 4 Co. imported a largo 
flock, nod although Iho long voyage and sickness 
injured tho sheep, yet our climslc has restored 
them. They brought handsome prices and have 
done extremely well. 

Tory recently Messrs. Mocondray & Co. im- 
ported a largo flock of very fine Merinos, tho 
linost-woolcd sheep yot Imporled, of any number. 
They have been sent over our Slatu and they will 
add toils wealth. 

Some few very splendid full bloods were Im- 
ported by Messrs. Sc-itIb it vVynn, last season. 
Also, Samuel Brannan, Esq., imported somo ol 
tho best lately brought hither. A lot was re- 
ceived for San Jose, and for some other places, 
and thus we have tho evidence of tho fitness ol 
our climate and pasturage for Ihc raising of Sheep 
and the growing of Wool, as a permanent and 
profitable business, ono that shall be a lasting 
benefit to our Slate. 

Wo now ask particular attention 
which we shall oiler opon Ihe impai 
ing the very bat tarietiet of U'ool-yr.idisciiie 
Sheep in California. 'lis said, 'Expericnco is 
the best school mas ler," aod wo have tho very- 
proof from tho best Wool-growers in the world, 
that "it Is easier to raise and take cam of tho 
batbretdi of Sheep, than of common sorts;" the 
former are more easily herded, more quiet, easier 
controlled ; their quiet nature greally tending to 
Ihe growth of wool and flesh (upon tbo same 
principle wc suppose that a good-natured man or 
woman is generally plump and fat), an J although 
it will bo necessary in California to raise the 
Southdowns, Loiceslcrs, Asiatic, and tho Ameri- 
can and Mexican for Motion, those who grow for 
tho fleece should aim at tho highest gr 
woo], and to the Full-blooded Merino tbi 
lion of growers should be directed, that they may 
know from whence the 



prosper.

Tbo "Cbvbtai, Palace" will bo tho siro o 
many a fine flock of Sheep that shall grace lb 
bills of California, and wo are glad lo know tha 
somo of bis stock is already in our State ; those 
to which wc havo referred, of Messrs. Searlo & 
Wynn, those of Mr. Eranuan, and others. 

J. D. Patterson, Esq., of Wcstllcld, Chautauqua 
county, has been ono of tho most suco 
Sheep-growers in tho Oniled Slates, ond hat 
probably one of tho finest herds of Sheep I 
world, at least tho noble Buck which we show 
thtE week speaks iu bold character for this fact; 
to ulludt to bis value, wo know that SI 
would not purchase him. 

Mr. Patterson commenced Sheep-raising many 
years since, upon tho Iruo principle; his arm was 
to grow only the bat, and from the flocks of Eu- 
rope, or from ony other importer, ho aimed to 
procore only tho very best, wilhoot regard to 
cost, and Ihua he now possesses tho llnest animals 
of Ihe country, Tbo Shoepof Mr. Patterson have 
taken probably more prizes at tho different exhi- 
bitions than any flock known. Tho "Crystal 
Palace," as will bo seen, look the prllo at the 
World's Fair In Paris, in 1855, Thus in Iho 
very midst of iho celebrated flocks of France, on 
American stock-raiser bears off tho prize ; and if 
wo were to record Iho Diplomas, Goblets and 
other prizes awarded by different State and Cuun- 
ly Societies lo Mr. Patterson, wo should 011 oui 
columns. Wo havo also, records from vorious 
parts of tho Union where Bucks of this breed 
have been sold for S1000 etch, thus showing their 
Intrinsic value. 

Wo now, for our present purpoao of calling 
otlontion to this valuable flock of Shoop that 
should bo Introduced into California, havo proof 
nearer homo. 

Tho Hon. It. P. Johnson, former Mayor ol 
Sacramento, has just returned from tho East, 
and has kindly furnished us with tha ont of 
tho "Crystal Palocc," and also with aampli 
tbo wool of this celebrated fluck. and with many 
important and reliohlo loots, whloh wo shall uso 
for tho benefit oP wool- growers, Mr. Johnson 
provious to coming to California bad r 
near Mr. Patterson for over fifteen years, and 



r^d progress of this grtnt 
nterost, ana now returning to California, 
itnnds road? to testify to tho foU worth 
of these Ado Sheep. Ho will ohocrfully and 
promptly verify that whatever Mr. Patterson 
shall repwsnnt in Tege.r3 to his Sheep can bo 
relied apnn, lo tho letter ond spirit of tho agree- 
mt; and as bis neighbor and friend, Mr. J. 
a oonsunted to bo tho agent and roforoo to nil 
io desire to import Sheep from this celebrated 
stock, and is fully authorixed to not in this 
This will prove very beneficial to our 
State, as Mr. Johnson is so universally known 
and esteemed, and ho will greatly facilitate tbo 
importations when desired. 

Tbo weight of Crystal Palace is about 300 
pounds, and his fleeco, lost sheared, won 23 
pounds— bad it been oloso sheared would hovo 
weighed 30 pounds. Wo havo tho Catalogues 
of tho Prizes lhat havo beon taken, of tho sales 
lhat havo been made, and tho approvals nnfl 
notices from nearly a thousand sources, all 
speaking in tbo highest terms ; theso, with tho 
lamples of the wool and other foots, wo shall bo 
happy to communicate to those intcroatod. 

For further and valuablo hints, wo con refer 
to Hon. It. P. Johnson, of Sueramouto, who will 
net for Mr. PollorsoD, as can bo seen by tho 
cord in our columns, offering tho Sheep for solo. 
Wo shall speak further of tboso Sheop, and pre- 
sent other plates in future numbers.

Bams Foots Among Grata Growers. 

Acoaploofdays spent among Ibe grain growers 
within twenty miles around Sacramento, will show 
the cause or the short crop* in that vicinity. 

The gTont grain ranches of Hutchinson, Green 
k Co., of Brown, of Connor, and many growers 
tho Futo, show a great fulling off from former 
years. Much of tbo land will only avcrogo about 
sis or eight bushels per acre ; some will pro- 
twelve bushels. Wo Irani, among these no 
lubsoiled or follow land was used for grain. 

the Stockton road, for many miles, short 
crops— somo fields not worth harvesting. Yet 
mong some dozen ranches, wc could not learn of 
single instance otfallamd land that had bees 
used, or a farm where the subsoil plow hod been 
nxed ; bat many that hod relied on volunteer crops 
in wholo or in part. On the Brighton road wo 
found the same system to prevail. At Patter- 
son's, the Ten Mile House, from ninety acres of 
barley, a crop of 2180 bushels; a small piece 
wheat, some ninety bushels. There was no subsoil 
plow used or fallow hind. Mr. Thomas, sixty 
acres barley, crop &30 bushels. Mr. Manlore, 200 
acres wheat, 100 acres barley, average twelve 
bushels. CspL J. Beome, sixty acres wheat, 
usual plowing, twelve bushels per acre, and twelve 
acres on fatlmced land, thirty boaliclB per acre ; 
volunteer crop nothing. Hero wc note thaltreefce 
acrei fallowed produced bob" as much as lixty 
acres old style. Col. Wbiteaides, 270 acres wheat, 
eighty barley, average twelve bushels. Same loud 
last year produced forty bushels per acre. No 
sobsolled or fallowed laud used, but Col. W. be- 
would have greatly benefited the crop. 
F. B. Fitch, 125 acres wheat and bnrley, equal 
each, crop 1000 bushels, average eight bushels, a 
volunteer crop, no plowing at all. Jnmts Buwles, 
crop GOO bushels wheat, SOO barley ; no 
fallow or subsoil. At Joseph Hull's wc saw large 
fields now lying fallow for next year's crop ; and 
tho crop of this year, planted upon fallowed land, 
yielded forty bushels per acre. Mr. H. believes 
the crop would double upon fallowed land. 

twenty to thirty 
farms (we have not oam'd all), we nolo but (iro 
instances of what wc think the best mode of pre- 
paring land for grain in a country dry ns ours; tho 
land of Mr. Beameondof Mr. Hull produced double 
and treble of that plowi-d in the usual way ; aod 
c have facts to show that subsoiling will do the 
uno thing; yet graiu growers will not come into 
plan they know will bo productive of gain, bo- 
tuso they say they cannot spare tho land to lay 
fallow. Would it not be better to subsoil half 
tho number of acres each year, and havo the 
balance in fallow for iho next year. The crop 
would dnuble; and the cost of subsoiling fifty 
ncrea is nut more than lhat of slightly plowing 
100, and the cost of tirtl, f.-nrjii;; nn'J rvajnng fifij- 
is certainly less than 100. And if ihc crop is 
doubled, will it not bo wiser? "A word lo the

Orchards on the San LoreniA 

We spent a portion of our leisure, or rather 
our time, in calling upon our friends who havo 
been planting lino Orchards on the San Lorenzo 
creek — a strip of land as rich, fine aud appro- 
priate as any in our Slate. 

Our first call was Ibe residence of E. T. Crane, 
Esq., a very pleasant collage residence, a good 
farm, orchard and garden. His Peach trees have 
made a remarkable growth too much wood, con- 
sequently hit fruit. The soil is loo rich for lb* 
Peach ; belter for tho Pear. We had a fine treat 
of luscious peaches however, and an excellent 
dinner, boib of which were tery palatable after 
hard Ikbor. 

Tho fine Orchard of Robert Family, Esq., nrar 
the San Lcandro road, wo found in splendid 
order, and must say wo havo not seen trees lhat 
surpass them anywhere. This Orchard consists 
of 1304 Apple trees, 208 Peach, 30 Pear, 28 Plum, 
2-1 Cherry, 15 Fig. Nearly all tbo trees were in 
bearing, and not only were wo fosBtcd, but a very 
gcnerooB supply of tho best was furnished us on 
leaving. Wo must notice tbo luscious Jefferson 
Plum, two trees being heavily loaded, aod we 
frnouj thoy were luscious. The Peaches, Craw- 
ford's Early, Early York, Strawberry, and olher 
varieties, were positively delicious, we are sure. 

Wo noticed mngni Dcent jpccimeDs of Ibe Seckel 
and Qansels Bergamort Pear, on the tree; Flem- 
ish Beauty nnd Bartlelt woro also very superb 
samples. Wc hopo to see this fine fruit at In" 
Exhibition. Wo return thanks to our friend for 
his kind attention and liberality. 

Tho Garden and Orchard of O. Wlntern. Etq., 
gave proof of very excellent care and attention- 
His Orchard presented a picture rarely to bo seen. 
A flno Orchard of 400 Peach lrco6, 100 Applo, 
20 Cherry, 20 Plum, 75 dwarf Pear, 20 Fig. m° 
000 Grapevines, nil showed uncommon thriOinest

[Fe r ibo C.1I lo ml* Fanner.) 
Oom? to the Country. 
At length the joyful doy was onrae. Hur- 
riedly wo mudo a few filial arrangements, shut 
the door, turned (ho koy upon nl! ourdomeatio 
carea. for no atwoya arrange lo leoro our bur- 
densome affairs behind, and lake with us nothing 
bnt a happy heart and oyea that nernr tire 
gniing upon the beauties of tbo earth and sty 
that God has made. It seemed as if tha lumber- 
ing slago-coaefc ooutd not move fast enough, fur 
onr impatience, although it flitted along with 
the speed of a bird, through fields and patchr-a 
of forests, Our hilarious spirits rising with 
every mile. Wo wiped tbo mist from onr eyes, 
and there wore no brick and mortar obstructions 
between ub and nature. All our outward cares, 
and inward struggles, have faded away, us 
dreams from the face of morning. It is all 
morning with ua now, and vr« will onjoy it, ero 
the scorching sun withers its hopes. Wo bare 
looked out upon the unnumbered patches of 
weeds (tbo flowers are nearly gono), and are 
satisfied they are doing remarkably well ; we 
inhnh- the perfumed air. fully realizing its many 
and rare virtues! it acta upon our forehead with 
an electrical thrill, like the kiss of an angel. As 
wo proceed, the hills begin to emerge, and f.ir 
to the south rises the dome of "Old Diablo," the 
patriarch of a numerous family, happily settled 
about him; end further still, westward ho! dim 
and blue stretches tbo "Const Range," while 
easlwnrdly rise in strange and magnificent 
grandeur tha over varying forms of tbo "Noble 
Sierras." as If in adoration of the Being who 
brought them forth. Bet nee a those great 
northern aud southern, eastern and western 
landmarks, a distance of more than 250 miles 
long by GO wide, lies the Valley of Sacramento. 
And tbe skies of Scotia aro not brighter, or thu 
Tales of Italia moro productive. 

A rido of thirty-fivo miles brings as to tbe 
beautiful residence of Mr, liencb, on the forks 
of Feather river, in Yohn county, where wo find 
Ourselves happily domiciled, with nn amiable 
aud lody-liko hostess and two sweet children Tor 
our companions. Here we shall make oursolvos 
at home until Saturday, nnd if in the sphere; 
whence tho days issue, iheru is such a thing a* 
detention, may Saturday break duwn, or some- 
thing hup pen it, thut it b" Li ipt back long after iti 
time. Hero we saw what is seldom seen in any 
Country, and what we cerluiuly never expected 
to seo in California, an orchard or six thou 
punch trees; betides plnms, figs, peers 
apricots — two thousand five hundred, heavily 
laden with luscious fruit. Wo had mnuy good 
op|i,irtuiiiliea of testing their good qualities, 
nnd the generosity of our kiud friends, win 
teemed never so well pleased us when con 
trujuting to our comfort. Wo shall not booi 
forget those hnppv d-iyn, iilii.li glided so uncoti 
aciously by ; we were so glad to esehsngn tbi 
Sully oily nith its streets lined with oraiy 
politicians, and other straiigu looking crjuen- 
tnsna (whoso qnly object seems to be to gel 
office, or money), and brcotho tho puto aii 
and feel ourselves shut out from thu bustling 
world, end where tho sweet muaio ol nature' 
Tocrjists is oil nrouud us. Who has not fell tho 
impressive and pooliu silenoo of iho c, 
especially in peach time ! I etijnyiiu it rrith tlio 
liveliest delight Bui Saturday would com,., in 
■pit*, of all our entities, nl „i „„ WI1I0 Migei 
to bid our kind friendn adieu. 

Five miles' ride brought us t., olaryiville— t 
some Hnrysvillu wo vi»iit-d i„ Deeiirnbur last, 
like, aud yet a* unlike, aa poseihlo; the sai_„ 
quota of Gne residences are there, Ihu same kind 
friends greet us, but with the thermometer at o 
100 aVgmea, who oiin enjoy anything I Then, 
tho streets were deluged in mad; now. limy 
seemed famishing with thirst; wo fairly gngped 
For breath, tbo beat wns so 'intolerable,, But 
independent of heot aud dust, and a want of 
shrubbery (for which our own loved Sacramento 
Is famous), there aro many green spots in Marys- 
villB, after all. Wo met „!J rriondi, and furmed 
now acquaintonccB ; among tho letter were Mr. 
and Mrs. Walton, at whose house wo were mado 
to feel as much at borno as though "heir lo the 



born."' Wo will not soon forgot that 

nxhtr&t dinoor. and the many kindnoasi 
shown us by that radiant embodiment of goi 
humor and politeness, Mr. W. Ho ia one wl 
con nsvor bo made a prosolyto to tbo philosophy 
of Dr. Jedler, who thinks life and fow such - 
very ridiculous business. I would like much l 
have Ihoso poraous who think "thoro aro n 
goodaohoola out of tho range of San Francisco," 
risjt Mrs. Walton's (lata Mra. Wildo'a) Semi- 
nary for Young Ladies. I think thov might ho 
induced to moko at least ono exception; for 
ourselves, wo only regretted wu had not hulf i 
dozen girls, that wo might place them nudor tbo 
tuition of so estimable o lady. 

Tho next place of interest wo visited 
Hock Farm, tho residence of General Sutler, 
known by every Col iforninn to bo a shrine lo 
which alt hearts pay homage ; our pleasure nnd 
aurprisn cannot bo spoken or written. In walk- 
ing over tbo spacious domain, and seeing snob 
perfect order and neatness, tho politeness and 
cordiality with whioh wo wore received, were ill 
keeping with the beauties that ovory whore aur- 
)0t to thu bent as effectually. 
This place is loo well known for ma to attempt 
description; in fact it were almost an imp 
ii-.iliiy to do so. The extensive vineyards , 
orchards, combined with tho vonorublo and 
antic appearance of the buildings, and tbo 
n'sito taste with which tho grounds wore laid 
it, tho variety and abundance of flowers, 
in upon our admiration wo could hut express 
as wo felt it; while every nook and corner 
is in the highest stylo of agriculture, tho 
iu;e and gardens reminded us of tho vigni 
some beautiful book. Wo wander along tho 
nksnf the river, down to its very verge, whoro 
■■ sounds of our voices were echoed back from 
o opposite bank with such clear and distinct 
pronunciation that we were hardly persuaded it 
: some person oniu-iiij,- himself I iy repeat- 
words; to us it wnsnn anomalous oraalo, 
(turned word for word, as soon aa spokon. 
Wo oould have spent nn hour there in eonvor. 
ith Iho inviiible Genii, bnt thu deepen- 
ing twilight ndmnniabed us that we must depart. 
Wo lingered until tho atara bad thickened in tbo 
rhanging blue, nnd their first fuint light had 
blushed into lustrous gold, nnd Iho leaves upon 
tho "brave old oak" wore whispering each to 
the other a bland good night. It pained us to 
think this beautiful homestead, which lias cost 
tho old Pioneer en many days of toil, nnd on 
hicb had been lavished such unbounded munifi- 
ence, should pass into tha hands of strangers, 
'an not something bo dono by his frieuds to 
pay off that debt, and thus scouro it to tho 
ightful owner? Poor as I am, I would put $50 
[iposite my name, towards its redemption. 
My ahoet is full for tbo present. Adiuu.

A Model ■Wife. 
A pleasant little Florentine story reached ua 
tho other day. Ono of our famous American 
soulplors, residini; in thnt delightful city, whithor 
all the genius of England and America seems to 
tend, wn,i one day seated in his studio at work 
on an Apollo — for whioh. by tho way, ho might 
aland as a model himself — when bis attention 
was attracted by a tremendous trampling of 
horses in his court yard. He looked nut of tho 
window, and li.-ln-M u inn^iiiii. • nt eurria^e, with 
outriders, drawn up bcfure hii door. Preaently 
a gt-ntl'-imm claimed admission to his studio, nnd 

announced himself as tbo Princo of di R , 

Ho come to giro tho sculptor a largo commis- 
sion. His daughter, who bud been struck by 
some statues of tho American thnt sho bed seen, 
wished to ait tii bim for her bust. Sbo wns then 
bolow in the oorriogo. Was tbn sculptor at 
leisure 1 Prico was no object ; all thai 
necessary was to gratify his daughter, wh 
an invalid, 

Tho sculptor ciprci-cil hi» willingness I 
gin tho work instantly ; and the Prince, muking 
a sign to his lackeys from tho window, thoy — 
cnedod to lift a lovoly girl, who seemed a! 
eighteen, out of the carriago. and bore bi 
their arms oarcfolly op tbo stairs to tbo art 
studio. Tho sculptor could not repress a look 
of ourpriso at this curious mode of locomotion, 
particularly as tho lady did not bear Iho slight- 
est traao of illness in her countenance. Tbo 
Princo interpreted bi> ghiueo and replied to it. 

"My daughter has been paralyzed in all her 
limbs," he said, "for tho lost two months. It is 
a sad thing. Sim has bad all the medical aid in 
Florence, out without avail." 

Tho soulplor looked again at tho invalid. 
Nothing moro beautiful in fnoo or form coald 
have been dreamed of by Pbidins, A face liko 
Ccnci's, before it was clouded with tho memory 
of crime; mosses of rioh, lustrous auburn hair, 
framing a clear, palo faco. with deep bluo eyes 
swimming b.incatu n fringe of Ihe silki.-t Idnek 
lashes. Through her deiiaato muslin robe tho 
contour of a divinely modeled form was indi- 
cated, and when the ynung Signorila cast upon 
tho aoulptor n rapid glance, i-ift aa slurhVlit, 
piercing as electric tire, he felt bis heart leap 
with u myslerious presage of some indefinable 
catastrophe, 

_ Sho buL Tho scnlptor worked at his model 
like one ioi-pircd. nnil a puujj stroclt his heart as 
Ihe boor for her retiring enmo. The Prince and 
his lackeys bora her again down sttvirn in tin ir 
nnns. Tbe carriuife dour closed on her, tho 
horses swept through tho gato. Tbo soulplor 
did no moro work that day. 

To-morrow sho wns to come again. Ho lay 
ownko all iiijrht, dr-nmins uf her. Then ho 
would shudder, and my to himself, "It ia not 
love, but pity thut I feel. She is n paralytic!" 
The licit day tbo same scene wils repented, 
with this difference, that tbo Prince, having seen 
bis daughter poised hy th,. i,rti-t. cicu-.nF him- 
self, on iho plea of a business eiigagument, sav- 
ing that bo would return in lime to coinlucl liis 
1 — Poor girl, although the sculp- 

' ily beauty, her deplora- 

uiu nuuuiHuii hub, in bur father's opinion, n 
fufeguard against any of tho danger* which lie 
mif.-lil .illii-rwi-u hnvu nnti.-ipru,.,]. He left the 
room, and drove away in his carriage. A tilonco 
ensued. Tho sculptor dnred not look at his 
m.,.l,-l, hut wurk.d uiiiiy on his cluy imi,^-,, ivith. 
out rnisiiiE his eyes. Slill a silence. Then it 
seemed as if u slight ruslh- had Hllud Iho room. 
A -mull ivhii,- Imml s| () |c across bin moulh, and 
n burning kiss was printed mi his Icnhvn.l. 

" " ll " l -I " shrii-k lie leaped to hi- fci. mid 

ihi-re, with blushes crimsoning hi-r pnlo eliei-ki, 
and alabaster nook, knelt tho paralytic l-h] 
wuh her beautiful oyea imploring pardon. 

"I saw you ii hiug time eg,,,' 1 sho said— (an 
Italian woman when sho loves knows no half

Mr. Collector Sohell entered upon tho duties

understood that he will not lake oEf many beads

There has boon a terrible steamboat accident

From nil parts of tho Union, with a few 
important eiceptions, the crops are looking ' 
finely, hnt nre backward, owing to tho cold w

ni'urly, as in California. When our nev,

From Europe, there is nothing of very great

are looking well. In tho latter tho vintage of 
tbo present year will bo short, but to make i

In continusiion I miy state, thn Win. Tburnin

Neit above the Ferry is Mr. 0. Pettiliono, who 
bu good garden, orchard and grain lands, raises 
a Isrgu amount of vegetables, and is a neat and 
tidy farmer; oil looks liko thrift, a place for 
everything and everything in its place. Mr. 0. 
VT. Sailer has a good Ranch a short distance 
soars, ami good ground for fruit, though not 
much planted, Messrs. Win. McKinnoy, Dels- 
ney, and Thomas McMillcii, hate good Ranches, 
hut make little effort to cullirnt* fruit. Dr. 
Thomas Ins good garden and fruit lands. A 
short distance above is the Raneb of Mr. The*. 
Q. Murphy, a good grain fa 
suitable for growing fruit. Mr. and Mrs. M. Ore 
much interested in the school In this 
taught by Mr. Eslras. This place fa known as 
Branch's Ferry. Yesterday I had the privilege 
or a ii .ilk through tho lino young orchard of Mr. 
G. W. Branch. Last winter Mr. B. planted out

to inclose his orchard and garden, lie ba 
a good Hnlel, good baniaud ferryboat, and

Mr. It. has some notions liko those of Ben Bolt ; 
has Rome poor (once, nude of brush ant

The Geological Question Again. 
EoiTOfiB Farmer : It is singularly remarks, 
bio thai Doctor IVinslow should still persist ii 
bis declaration or [he incandescent condition of 
our globe, after hiving utterly failed lo advance a 
solitary fact or demonstrable circumstance, show- 
ing that position worthy to bo entertained by 
Bound and correct thinking men. Declarations 
are very easily made, and cost nothing but ink 
and paper ; all men who have the power of Epccch, 
or tha use of pen, may make declarations, and 
they may likewise send them forth as messages 
from on high, but when subjected to the scruti- 
nizing touchstone of reason, those which are not 
Substantial most invariably wither and decay. 
The proud Pharisee slood up in the Temple and 
prayed, making the declaration that he was not 
as other men, whilst the poor Publican was more 
justified by grace. 

I should not hava noticed his last tetter, 
vera it not that he has seen Bl to toreo me 
into a false light, by his reiterated assertion, 
charging me with opinions which arc neither ex- 
pressed nor implied in cither of my communica- 
tions. Instead of confining himself to the ad- 
vancement of authority, facts, and demonstrable 
circumstances, in support of his position, which 
is invariably required of the affirmative of a ques- 
tion by the rules of debate, bu has resorted to tbo 
unprofitable subterfuge of promulgating some 
original and absurd notions, which are entirely 
foreign from the subject, as emanating from my 
pen. Notwithstanding my former protestation 
•gainst the fake and uugrounded charge, imputing 
to me the absurd notion, that the center of our 
globe ever has been and now la fn a solid state, he 
reitciaics, in his last letter, his former declaration, 
and gives to yoor readers tbo important informa- 
tion that I am the author of that absurd presump- 
tion. The flimsy vail with which ho seeks to 
conceal the glaring deformities or his position, in 
CO frequently lugging in the term fluid, in con- 
nection with, and at times substituting that word 
■ for, tbo term incandescent, is another indication 
of his evasion of the main point of tho subject. 
If to avoid loo frequent repetition of the word in- 
candescent he fihrjiilrl deem it necessary to intro- 
duce a substitute, why not observe more strictly 
the injunction wbieb ho so rigidly imposed upon 
me in bis former letter {"and deal in exact 
words, and positive tacts"), and he would have 
found n far belter substitute in tho word liques- 
cent, which defines distinctly tho fluid character 
Of melted matter, whilst that of fluid most prop- 
erly applies io all giutes and llquids.such as water 
and air ; therefore, loo great n range is given to 
the imagination to reader tho meaning dcHnilo 
and proper in elucidating tho point of our discus- 
Tjioa. For an example of tbo loose and careless 
i manner in wbieb ho employs terms io the discos, 
m of the subject, I quote the following from his 



letter : 



"Them 



el'iel tl 



the globe lo bo fluid, does not make it solid." 
I quote again from tho Doctor's letter: "And ho 
now declares more plainly that granitic rock was 
not fluid in its elementary stale." Thus has the 
Doctor given a solution of (he question which I 
^propounded lo him respecting tho difference in 
■he appearance of granite which had been sub- 
jected to the beat of a furnace, from that which 
had not. 1 have avoided the use of the term 
fluid throughout this discussion, as a word too 
Prague and indefinite to convey a proper meaning 
of the auhject in dispute ; while tbo Doctor seems 
'lo have contracted in increasing propensity for 
the use of ihe term in piogressof the debate. Ho 
Iffilbrms ua in his letter, that for the causes which 
1 produce llieso singular results in salt wells we 
must seek clwwhLTe fur an ciplanalioi) ; and then 
"Ttry quietly hints at n csu-e, by casually asking 
r might become, after having per- 












il ug i 



answer-net so cold as that which is found to 
Mist at the bottom of these wells, provided tbo 
Increased ratio of heat which has been aopposed 
to raid, I*. as he says, a well established fact, as 
,n» can very easily ascertain by a very simple ex- 
periment, if he will give himself ,|,„ ltuu blc.

plest truth connected therewith. He who brings 
forward a subject, relating bo clearly to the past 
and present physical condition of matter, as that 
of tbo incandescent stale of the earth, and then 
declare, that in his investigations of tho same 'be 
is led away from materialism," betrays mom 
fanaticism than profound philosophical research, 
The subject is strictly material In its character. 
In all its bearings, and can only bo investigated 
through the channels of material philosophy. 
Therefore it is self-evident tbat Ibis is merely an 
evasion lo which be has resorted with the view to 
Ijopolcss defence of tho false 
and erroneous position in which he has fouri 
imsclf placed. The spasmodic clfusions of th 
ogical rhetoric with which ho so frequently ii 
tcrlards his discourse, together with his repealed 
'eclarations asserting that iho position which ho 
occupies is a well -established, incontrovertible 
fact, without so much as bringing forword asinglo 
demonstration in support of such de- 
clarations, is of very questionable character, at 
best, to bo received in tho capacity of argument, 
('■lie hardly thinks it would bo prolllablo lo dis- 
questinns, or onlcr into a controversy about 
problems, ol which he can form no rational con- 
ception.") now marvolously obtuse upon some 
points 1 And lo I tho subject of this controversy 
i, which he has promulgated, with the 
declaration tbat bo is enabled to solve the cuigma. 
He says that my remarks compelled him lo throw 
lo rut ibv gauntlet. 
Problem— And pray what compelled him to 



Ithdra 



it? 



Solution— 1st, By the inevitable laws of attrac- 
tion and re pulsion, which are Inherent and co-ex- 
istent properties of matter, one exerting an oppo- 
site force to that or the other, thereby keeping all 
matter in constant motion between these two 
forces, and therefore rendering it utterly impossi- 
ble for a globe of liquid molten rock, to folIQI its 
it around the aun, impelled by the force of 
repulsion alone, which is tho result or incandea- 

2d, Incandescent beat destroys tho crystalline 
beauty, and entirely changes Iho character or 
granite rock; honco, the Doctor's Inability to 
assign a cause for that result upon the hypothesis 
jranitic rock having beoo formed through 
that agency, satisfactorily accounts for his silence 
i regard fn regard to that fact. 
3d, Upon tho hypothesis that Iho center of our 
globe now It in a stato of incandescent heat, tbo 
caloric imparted to those vast salt mines at tho 
bottom of theso wells, by tho ever burning liquid

We cannot too highly commend tho example 
of Judge I. D. Murley to his brolhor farmers. 
Ho not only sots n nohlo example to bis neigh- 
bors by having ona of tho best forms in tho

loams of their success, and wherein thoy fail, so 
that liko o well-skilled pilot ho can steer his own 
ship clear of breakers. And uuotlior excellent 
plan, ho is not jeolous and suspicious lost his 
neighbor should watoh his plans and steal some 
ideas from him, and thus got ahead of him— ho 
goes to litem, glad to tell what will advantage 
them, and whorein bo has found his pious to fail, 
and liko n good neighbor tries to do nil tho good

universal, how quickly should wo boo tho "wil- 
dernoss blnssom with tho roso," Iho "lion lio 
down with tho luinb," and "peaco nnd good will 
among men." Read tho following from him :

A short distance above, is tho Ranch of Leo 
Hamlin, who bos a small flouring mill, capable of 
making good flour. The Ranch is a flnoono, with 
some fruit, and ho had a good crop of grain, in- 
cluding excellent wheat This mill Is propelled 
by water, taken fruin the Merced river some two 
miles above, on the south side, and passing

in California, or any other Sloto. This orchard 
contains 350 applo trees, 150 peach, some cherry, 
plum, pear, and 1,500 grape vines. Many of bis 
trees arc producing fruit, although tiny have not 
been planted but one year last January. Horo 
let me repeat that I havo never seen Oner fruit 
or trees. Icarcfully inspected the entire premises, 
and my wifecan affirm what I say, as to the qual- 
ity of tha frutt and beauty of the place, as she 
shared ihe kindness of Mrs. Ostrander, in Iho 
way of a good visit and the One fruit. In addition 
to fruit, Mr. Ostrander baa vegetables without

acres, from which ho had cut two and a-half tons 
of wheat-hay per acre, early in tbo season, and

thing I have ever seen. I send you a few grains, 
and will bring a small shear to the Fair at Stock-

In company with my wife, I bad tha pleasure 
of a visit over to Iho Morood. Wo visited tho fint 
Ran oh of Messrs. Allen and Daniel Ingolsfce. Tbii 
is truly o fino Ranch. It is located on tho uortl 
side of tho valluy, aloso to tho bluff or tublr 
lands, oight miles below Suolling's, tbo county 
seat. Thoy bavo resided there sinoo '52. Tho 
Runoh contains J80 acres, and nearly all under 
good fonoo, of ouk and oedar posts (mostly 
cedar), and good pino plank. A portion of tbo 
Ranch is inclosed with a good ditch four feet 
wide, posts and two planks on tho top ; a por- 
tion with board fonoo entire, and laid o£E in 
suitable shod fields. This is tho best farm south 
of th D city of Stockton, in this Stato. I havo 
no doubt thoy are pattern furmors. Thoy raiso 
a largo amount of grain, havo good fruit and 
garden lauds, hut not much fruit. Also visited 
tho Ranoh of Roviug Juok'a brotho/. This is a 
fino Ranoh. and room for improvements ; goa'd

brolhor. This is also a good Ranoh, Thoy 

a good orop of barley, and somo fruit 

whioh looks well, Messrs. Eugnlston sell goods, 
keep a Hotel, and tho Forlorn Hopo Post-office, 
i this, I visited tho Ranch of Dr. lUrfiulu, 
which is truly a fino ono. nud I am of tho opin- 
iun that richer land caunot bo found in tbii Slate. 
Tho Duotor has a large number of fruit trees, of 
various kinds, many of thorn bearing already, 
and tho ooming year will no doubt favor tho 
Dootor with an abundant supply of fruit. Ho 
)rao Osage Orniigo. and oIku raises the Chili 
Clover, of whioh I saw tbo second orop on tho 
ground, and it looked well. Ho has twenty 
acroa of corn, n portion or whioh I think will 
yii.-ld », j ii, my -five bushela to Ihu aero, and tho 
whole Hold will average fifty hustiols. He grows 
•gu amount of potatoes of Gno quality, and 
more than on averogo amount of molons, 
igh to keep fivo four-horso teams hauling to 
market, including cabbages, tomatoes, boots,

barley. On tho oppoaito sldo of tbo river Farm example ! 



r to make 
early bearers of them. His mode is this: be 
places several slakes round the tree, attaches a 
string to the stakes, and then ties the limbs 
downward. He has plenty of water, which he 
applies freely, and is not troubled with tho borer. 
Tbo next Ranch. J. Wheat's, has no frail, yet is 
well adopted. Next above is T. F. Jenkins, who 
has some frnit; but tho trees ore much alTected 
with tho borer, and not well supplied with water. 
On tho opposite side of tho river Col. Scott has a 
large orchard of ono thousand trees, prospering 
On tho whole, this valley is suscuptiblo of 
producing tons of thousands of bushels of fruit. 
And many of tho farmers ore not favoring Ben 
Bolt's notions; they are abandoning brush and. 
making plank fence. This valley baa quile a 
large amount of grain, and in a fow years will 
produce as much fruit as any valley of Iho same 
siw in this State. I, D. Mojilev.

Wnrd of Newark cihibilcd a very remarkable, 
large, flno now seedling siraivbeiry plant in bear- 
ing, originated by Mr. tictb. Boy.len of Irviugtou, 
K. J. Some of tho berries are 44 and 5 inches 
in circumference. Mr. Boydeu is t 
tho inventor of some oselul improvr 
steam-engine. Hois n on- engaged in inventing 
newfroits. His manner of producing seedling 
plants is novel, and, as ho believes, ospedi' - 
their production. He produces by artiBt 
means tho same thing that the cold of winter pro- 

Iba berries of this plant being so very large, 
and growing solid and of a handsome crimson 
color, will bo valuable for market-gardeners, 
even if not very high-flavored. Wo think it well 
worth iho attention of cultivators. Mr. Ward, 
who is a relative of Mr. Longwortb, says Mr. 
Longworlh is much pleased with this new seed- 
Mr. Pardee— I don't think there is any ne- 
cessity or the freeiing process mentioned to pro- 
duce new seedling straw be mis, and 1 judge from

tled point that tho running Alpine strawberry 
never hybridizes with any other variety. The 
bnsh Alpine mokes a beauliful border, much bet- 
ter than the box plant. 

Continuum Bearing-.— Dr. Knight— I have 
noticed in Paris that tho strawberry searon is 
much longer than it is here, and I should like to 
inquire if aov |--;r; en has ever nilemplcd to pro- 
long their bearing by artificial means, and with 
what success! 

Solon Robinson— I will answer that ques- 
tion. Hr.CbnrlesPeabody of Colombus, Georgia, 
is tho Only successful cultivator of strawberries, I 
believe, in tbo United States, who has pursued a 
course that prolongs the bearing season. Ho has 
sent his fruit regularly and continuously to mar- 
ket for six months of tho year, from (be same beds, 
and his vines have produced fruit ten months out 
of twelve. Jiuw this is all nccompliFhed by very 
simple mesnB, and is not at all in consequence of 
the latitude, except that tho bearing reason may 
commence earlier llicro than here. At first, Mr. 
Peabodygrow vines upon rich soil, and the con- 
sequence was that be grew vines and nnt fruit; 
be could at any time mow o heavy 6wath of just 
such rank leaves as these before us; but as bo 
did not want to grow strawberry hay, and did 
want to grow fruit, ho began to think what na- 
ture did to produce strawberries, and changed his 
course. lie then set bis plants upon newly 
cleared sandy land that had a mere akin ol vege- 
table mold, and from a brook near by be kept the 
plants well watered, generally twice a day, and in 
the fall covered tho groond with leaves and per- 
haps a sprinkle of woods mold, just enough to 
paint tbo sand, and there he actually grows 
plants that produce, by measure, more fruit than 
leaves, from March till October. And tho same 
thing can be done here, upon any soil that is poor 
-Enough. 

Mr. Pardee— I havo no doubt of the troth of 
Mr. Robinson's statement, because I havo seen 
Mr. Peabody's plants bearing fruit in December. 
There is one other man who does thesame thing : 
Mr, Henry Lawrence of New Orleans. He pur- 
i sues tho same course, and gets hemes all the long 
hot summer. Tho secret of this loog continuous 
production is keeping them in poor ground. Fer- 
tility produces leaves, not fruit, on t trawler ry 
Tines. Strawberries out of season would always 
sell at high prices. I have no doubt they can be 
cultivated hero in the tame way. The average 
crop of strawberries near this city Is thirty oi 
forty bushels per acre. A well- cultivated croj 
will produce from ono hundred to two huudrec 
bushels. Look at the profit of such cultivation : 
Valuta/ a Strawberry Crop.—Tha ordinary 
price will average about St! a bushol, but such 
berries as these Boynton seedlings would bring 
SIC a bushel. It would bo easy to gel glDtiO 
worth of strawberries per acre. 

Judge Meigs— When Thomas Bell mi 
from Westchester coonty to New Jersey 
found about five acres of strawberries on 
farm he bought, and as ho had never cultivated 
such a crop, he did not know the value, and Eold 
tho chance to a neighbor, who offered S"'"J cash

flotation and the Suceeuion of Plant*.— 
Judge .Meigs — Vegetables that live in families 
are often succeeded liv other families. A forest 
ol beech trees destroyed by flro in Franca was 
succeeded by oaks. In another case where oaks 
[■ci i'-IimI i.lici- were followed by beech. Id Nor- 
folk (England) the turnip is the pivot of a four 
years' rutatlon. In some districts of England 
the rotation of crops is carried through a series 
of twenty changes. 

Dr. Watoibury — Clover is tho preceding crop 
that prepares tbo land for a cereal crop belter 
than any cultivated plant. In tho natural rot 
lion of limber in this country tho evergreens ■ 
first, maple ind beech second, and oaks third, 
have never been able to got a good cropoflndit

leaves the earth mellow and apparently in good 
mdilinn for any othor crop. 
Mr. A. Bergen— t have crown as good wheal 
im ono plowing, when I have turned in clover, 
1 1 havo upon other ground by several plowinga. 
Great care must bo exercised in plowing clover 
lea, to turn the first furrows well. I don't know 
that tho land over needs rest, if sufficiently 
I have raised a crop of potatoes, and 
followed that with turnips in the fall and potatoes 
ain in the spring, followed by turnips, and so 
, year alter year, without dole riora lion of land 
crops. The time to plow is when the land is 
order. If that lime is in February, it does 
not injure tho land. I have sometimes plowed 
early potatoes in Fchruary. 
*)r. Knight— 1 should like to know how oaks 
produced upon land that has borne olbersorts 
roes for centuries without an oak near. Wboro 
do the acorns como from? It is not possible that 
Ihcy should lie buried, because, as is well known, 
they will nut keep. It is difficult to preserve tho 
vitality of acorns over from one year to another. 
Yet, as wo hear, oaks at ones spring up where 
none grow before. Where does tho seed como 
from? 
The Secretary— That is a question that no ono 
is ever yet been able to answer- 
Several other persons spoke of tho remarkable 
changes that occur by a sort of natural relation 
of crops. 

Dr. Walcrbury — f once tumrd water on to a 
knoll, where no timothy had grown since it could 
)e remembered, and at once Ihal grass sprung up 
,nd grew luxuriantly. 

Early Planting.— The Chairman— I think 
thot all crops are planted too early upon the firms 
my neighborhood. 1( tho ground is well pre- 
pared, corn planted after the first of June is bet- 
' r than that planted earlier. In our clay soil we 
onld not try tu plant as early as in New Jens; 
Long Island sands. Many persons havo lost 
■ii first planting this year. 
Dr. Water bury — Wo ought to adapt our seed 
the locality, since we have corn or scleral v ; ,rj-

Mushroom Cultivation. — Judge Meigs — In 
France, mush too ins aro more largely cultivated 
for food than in any other country. Chemists 
say it is more like animal food than any oilier 
vegclable. It has tho smell and nutriti'.'us qual- 
ity of moat, and it requires great care in selecting

A New aaa Valuable. Dlalnleacins Agsnt 

Da. Angus Smith, of Mancheslor, Engli 
lately read a paper beforo tho Society of Aria, 
London, in which ho a U ted that he and a friend 
named McDoogall, somo ycara ago had roado nu- 
merous ciperimenU lo Gnd out a good disinfect- 
ing agent, and bad at last found that Sulphlto of 
Magnesia, which Is procured from Magnesian 
Limestone, and a certain percentage of carbolic 
or phonic acid, which Is procured from coal '"" 
made a disenfecting powder of remarkable eff 
cy. The mode of using this powder fs first to 
sweep tho stable, then sprinkle it with tho pow- 
der, tho quantity being about tbo same as that of 
sand lo sprinkloa Boor. Then tbelitter is thrown 
over this. This powder has been found so pow- 
erful and completely elTectlve, that when intro- 
duced into stables where sick and wounded onny 
horses were, no disagreeable odor was perceptible, 
either from the wounds or tho feces. A stable- 
keeper who always kept on hand a large number 
or horses, found lhat by using ibis powder, his 
hnrscswero healthier, lung diseases had disap- 
peared, or decreased , while their ^jes mil In. illli 
did uol sulfcr from tbo inflating cflecls of the 
ammonia which is 10 be found in all stables. It 
was also tound lhat tho slab I b was cooler, and 
that tbo dung did not decompose so that Dies did 
not breed in it, and ihoro were fower of these 
pests to annoy the beasts. Mr. Murray, the sta- 
ble-keeper, also found that after tbo monuro of 
his stable in which ho had used this powder had 
been used one year, ho was offered double for it 
next year by the market gardeners who had pur- 
chased and used it. As Dr. Smith was not a 
trading man, had no interest in manufactures 
and did not mean to have, his statements in rela- 
tion to this matter aro considered reliable and 
disinterested. 

Abiurbents for Putrid Substances. 

At this season of tbo year, when various animal 
and regelahle substances, in a stalo of decomposi- 
tion, accumulate nbout one's premises, it is import- 
ant to have some means nl hand tod>;.><|.'ri;: • ih.ii,. 
For sink- drains, ccss-pooln, and the like, lime an- 
swers n guod parposc. We, however, prefer pow- 
dered charcoal on some oceounls, espc-ciallv if it is 
desired lo absorb and preserve the f, rtilcim.- rnnp- 
ertics of iho offensive substances. If tho soap- 
suds, dish water, chamber-slops, and all the refuse 
mailers commonly Ibruwn out Ihe back-door, could 
bo carried into a vat and saved, the manure so 
mods annually, would he of great valno. To ab- 
sorb the liquids, ind prevent unpleasant smelts, the 
vat should have at the bnllom a hirer of peat 
dried turf; alter ibis lias become well saturated,

Tho City of the Dead. 

SiLwriT ore its slreets. No hum of business, 
10 noise of mirth, no voice of revelry, no sound 
f music, is heard within its borders. Tho song 
f Iho little bird falls with a sweet sadness opon 
he ear. Save this, and iho voice of wailing 
wrung fruni somo crushed hearts of tho living 
blending with tho sound of the distant ocean bil- 
breaking against the shore, all is silent. 
You may wander through its winding streets 
gazo upon its magnificent monuments reared hy 
Iho hand of affection and guarded with watchful 
tenderness. On every hand they rieo up in mule 
and mnurnful grandeur, or poep out from beneath 
iho trees and flowers, that bloom as brightly 
there, as by the groat thoroughfare where tho 
restless lido of humanity over sweeps onward, 
bearing its living freight to tbo great and silont 
city. As you tread that sacred soil, consecrated 
to tho uso of thoso who havo no necessity lo go 
in or out, all of life's duties, its joys and sorrows, 
seem to bo brought distinctly before tho mind; 
their reality and importance stand forth with a 
tcrriblo prominency; those duties overshadow 
all else, and a fooling of our mortality insensibly 
steals over tho heart. 

There, if nn wheie clso on tho wide earth, the 
living must think, must review tbo past, and con- 
template tho future. There, tho very silence 
ipeaki in thunder tones, tho monuments utter 
truths nnbcnrd beloro. Tho flowers, though 
blooming brightly, admonish you of tho timo 
when they nr others may wave over your own 
Inst resting place. Tho rustling branches of tree, 
or shrub ; tho green grass, the gleams of sun- 
shine through tho dense foliage, tho dark-blue 
waves of tho ocean rolling in tho distance, the 
hum of tho city of the living spread nearly all 
round it; all impress tho mind with a solemnity 
that will bo bolti salutary and permanent with 
Iho pure and good, and prove as useful monitory 
lessons to Iho thoughtless and vile. With a 
guide you may hurry through ila walks in a day, 
nnd hastily glnnco at its attractions ond'its many 
points of Interest, and form somo idea of its gen- 
eral, and more prominent features; but mntiy

Tho Wont of Pauperism 

Descendants of tbo Pilgrims! ioboritoi 
that Inuppondorjoo which was declared, signed 
ond seeded on tho 4lh of July, 1776, and ofion- 
LimcB ro-sealed with the blood of tho best of 
men ! Read (he following blighting truths, from 
tho Waverly Mngozino. nud see how this rnoa 
of men has degenerated, in less than n century. 
Road and look aroand you, A.-r,-. in this land of 
gold, where industry has a sure reward; bore, 
even hero, and see bow applicable these 
fill censures arc. and haw tboy will apply ! look 
around you, nnd count on tho right hand and 
tho loft, tho greedy expectants of office. Not a 
movement is mndo for the people, but designing 
man grasp at it as an opening for office. No 
pltra laid for charity or humanity, for feeding 
the Hospitals, or for tho cause of Education, but 
a thousand eyes turn to tbeso movements to 
count tho chances— not for nn office whore they 
can truly benefit their follow men, not whore 
they can mako themselves usoful to the com- 
munity where- thoy re»ide, or advance the cauao 
of human happiness, science, or good morale! 
Oh no, none of tbeso — but it is Oit main chance 
tfapy are after, tbo offices that pay bat — aye, 
pay but, and without work. 

Tharo is a doss of hungry office Eeekers that 
bang ovor onr Stato like vultures ! hungry cor- 
morants, tbat would gloat upon whatever they 
could get, and iccc'i-liko, suck the vory life 
blood from it; thoy ore's class by themselves, 
like Iho drones in a hive. Tboy never work, 
at hang round, that when tbo working beo is 
out gathering food to lay up for tho winlor, thoy 
steal in, and consume and carry away (ho food 
of others; nnd thus it is in California, and 
laboring men of our Stale have toiled nnd toiled 
to feed and support this class of leeching, laiy 
drones, until their own food is gone. 

Wo now appeal to the Workingmen of Cali 
furoia ! Who hare paid tbo tones 7 Who hav. 
supported tho government! Who liavo labored 
and done tho work 7 Who havo built up the 
Stato I Was it the politician 7 Was it tho offioo- 
halder! Was it Ihoso who plat and plan and 
intrigue for office 7 No! no! no! It has been 
the Farmers, tbo Mechanics, tbo Miners and th 
Manufacturers. Theso tiro tbo men who hav 
built up California, and rondo her all that she i 
of good; and bad it not been for thoso who havo 
introduced politics, had it net havo been for 
those who sought to (ire vponAer xcithoai l.ilfr, 
California, would now havo been frca of debt, 
and millions in her treasury. But behold hci 
now, bankrupt in her treasury at homo; bank- 
rupt ia her credit, both at home and abroad ; 
her offices and iuBtitutious, many of them, in the 
hands of dishonest and designing men, who labor 
more to mako the burden of tainlion oppressive 
mlbertban to relieve. Hut tho hour has come 
for a ohango. Tho workingmen of California 
have borne tho burden too long, and thoy will

Trbuk seems to bo n movement going 
rather on ii tufa-grot, n if current to inlroduoo into 
California banks nnd banking, with a pnpor civ- 
oulation, and politioinns and hard-pressed spec- 
ulators ore pulling thoir heads together (wc 
had almoBt said wits) lo see in what way they 
can best introduco this sabjeet, this 
as to got it before Iho Legislature the coming 
winter. There ia a olass of men that say Cali- 
fornia, can never rise again without n bunking 
capital and a paper cirenlatjnu ; thoy assort lhat 
she needs a credit to help her out of hor present 
embarrassed condition. This is a end mistnko, 
it has boon hor credit that has ruined her ; bar 
orcdit has been too good, and the has owed 
"i ill owos too mueh abroad, and until that debt 
is paid she can never rise; that debt must 
paid by tho produote of hor soil. Tbo grain of 
her valleys, hor wool, bides and tallow, hor 
horns, old iron nnd kegs— these nil tell 
were it not for Ibia debt she would now ht 
to use nil thoso mnterials here in manufactories 
of her own. Being constantly in debt Califoruii 
is novor had time to rcfleot what she should 
- could do to make herself truly independent. 
Wo havo said California has bad too much 
credit, and yet sho could not use it to muob ad- 
itago; hororeditbas been water-logged. Wo 
st have a Railroad ; with tho great Pacific, 
Bnilrond those merchants deserving of a credit

not oyoilable, only as a means of maro 
deeply involving our Stato and (ha whole people 
load of debt already too largo for them, 
'o hope that every well wisher of our Stato 
will do what ho can lo crush this hydra-headed 
monster a paper currency, whenever and wbero- 
ever it may appear, and with one united voice 
repudiate paper banking. Do (his and all other 
kinds of repudiation will bo unknown, and men 
arid our Stato will pay tbo last dollar of every

No Repudiation. 
Tins is a matter of serious import to every 
truo friend of California. Pay tho State Debt, 
to its last farthing, and lot California t 
ample to all future States that shall bo 
uur bright golaiy, Novor repudiate, 
although the debt may havo henn incurred by 
fraud and wrong, still those who contracted 
it wero the ptiblio servants, chosen by tho 
people, nnd although they may havo transcend- 
ed their powocs and abused their trusts, still we 
dd never have it said tho Golden State was

and tranBcendod their powers, havo those that

ond therefore, wo would have all tbo past

A^Sncramento Garden. 
When at Sacramento recently, we visited thi 
Garden of Dr. B. B. Brown, on H street. Thi 
Doctor i9 ono of our amateur horticulturists,!! 
passionately fond of the study and practice of 
horticulture, and if any ono will visit his Pet 
Garden, it will bo seen that he bos a great many 
pets. Trees, planta.and flowers, once in bis hinds 
id by him planted, become identified wilh bis 
:ry nature and he loves them, as a dealing 
parent loves a child. Dr. Brown has planted 
and plants upon a given space of 
ground than any person wo know of. Tho Doc- 
prldes himself upon having everything or (ho 
best, and so ha Iibs, in trees, plants, otcj but wo 
think he bus too much of (ho good in so small a 
spico, i. e. be has (rece and plants enough for a 
four-acre lot, instead of a city garden. Why, 
Doctor, you want to monopolize the goad things! 
Wo noticoda Bno seedling Peach, a Qno Necta- 
rine, Apple and other fruit; also very lino stand- 
ard and climbing roses ; bat nc must say, if ,h u 
Doctor would take out two-thirds of tbo fruiL 
trees and plant them olsowbere, ho would 
md light to tbo balance, and bin crop would 
n amount thai it ever can bo from 
all the trees as they now grow, while his pet 
flowers would iben bloom freely. 

The Doctor has dono a good deal by his exam- 
ple lo stimulate a love of the beautiful, and has 
exhibited many Hno specimens. Wo regret not

Sprouting of Yoong Fotatoo* In the BolL 
Editors Eambib : I boo by your paper of 
July Slat, that tbo inquiry of one of your 
MsponnY Ola iu relation to too ictond graicth of 
Pofototi, is answered, or partially ao, by "A 
Sobfflriticr." H» tote out by Baying, tbnt ground 
thnt couhl lie prepared fur plantingin Fobr. 
it too dry for a Into crop, Here let mo differ 
with him. Almost any ground will do for n late 
crop of Potatoes, by deep plowing and the 
of tbo lubmil plow. 1 have proven this (act by 
experience-. 

Agnin.be fays lllut ground thotisdryoud 
will nnt keep Ibu vim's id, a. vtgoronJ giOKtb, 
that UV moment the vino censes growing, ao doea 
the. Potato. Admitted. But with mo, a large 
and vigorous growth uf the 'inc. and aomebmes 

the Potatoes are taking tho second growth; so 
true ia Ibis, tlinl I call, in walking over a Geld, 
tell every bill that ia Inking a second growth. 

Again, he pay*, the Potatoes so growing are 
watery and uutTt for use, aud that tboy will not 
keep. With me, it ia very different; as thoy 
answer very well for tho table, nod will keep 
two months, that I am sure of. 

"Bobacriber" seems to bo opposed to the usb 
of a plow among Putuloes, especially the suo- 
aoit. This, ho says, ho "knows to bo wrorjg." 
Stronp language, Sir. Subscriber. My expe- 
rience it, tint by keeping tbo ground loose, and 
Barring it up deep before tho (ops got above, eii 
or eight inches high, tbo better the crop trill 
be. He seems to plead for tho cultivator und 
hoe, and again* t the plow. I will just here ask 
Subjcriliir, if ho ever saw one of tho improved 
Shore) Plone, now used in the western States 
for working among com and potatoes, and iu 
mot any crop planted in rewe and wLi'h r, ■ ■ ) » s i r-. ■ 
billing up? With me the use of tbis plow doea 
away with the boo almost entirely. I bcliovo 
they nro not .in sale in Ibis country. Wo make 
thorn for our own uee. I have experimented tho 
present year among Potatoes, planted at tbo eamo 
time, and find that Ihoso worked by the plow 
produce twenty per cent more than those cnlti- 
Tatcd and billed np by hand. The present yoor I 
think is n peculiar one for the Potato, and the 
Only reason I can give fur the second growing, 
it, that iu tbo absence of the usual apring rains 
the ground becomes warm and dry around tho 
Potato, which Cousea it to pat forth shoots and 
grow again. I am further convinced that tho 
Lent is tbo enure, for by putting some Potatoes 
in a pile, just as thoy were dug, and covering 
them with dirt six or len inches deep, and in a 
month nearly all had sprouted — tho covering of 
dirt being worm end dry clear through. I bnvo 
planted Potatoes from the 1st of December to 
the middle of May, and, ns a general tiling, all 
planted after the 20th of February bavo taken 
the eecond growth; oven among tho lato crops, 
and where the ground seems mellow and damp, 
the young tubers not larger than a hen'i egg and 
quite (-roue, liave put forth shoots which come 
to the top uf the pound, and form, as it were 

I would bo pleased to eco the experience of 
any fanner in relation to tbis matter, in 
valuable joarnnl.

I expressed n; asLinislun^nt, if! my look of

"Let me tell you the story," be said, drawing 
litlk- JJi.'Uie toimrJ him. and L-nuircling her little 
form wilh bis arm, while- she looked with as much 
astonishment as myself, and ho began. 

■■A few years ago I went to Chicago. I had 
been there but a Tow days, when, in one ol my 
morning walks, I encountered a girl some twelve 
years old, a very intelligent, l>ri K lit-c;-.-d child, 
who** face wore such a sorrowful oipression that 
] almost slopped to speak with her as she passed. 
The morning air was raw and chilli, the ground 
wet from a light fall of .-ark snow, and 1 noticed 
Ibat, as the wind "-- 



cred u 



As she- 



pin 



"■PI. 



by me, she half turned, and 1 had gone 
le way before I beard quick footstep* behind 
,nd stopping, the girl lifted her hand. as ir to 
- L — arm, then drawing hack, she said: 
if yoo could giro me a little money 



to buy bread, 

"'Are you hungry 1" Tasked. 

" Tfra, sir, real hungry;' and her lips quivered. 

'"Doesn't your father work, and brine home 
bread? 

" 'Father istlck,' she said, 'and mother a ]i rained 
her arm, and my brother, who used to help us. 
was drowned not long ago.' 

"Something in my heart, and in her fice, told 
me that her story waa true. I took her Into a 
biker's *hop, bade her hold out her lettered 
apron, and filled it with loaves. Then putting fice 
dollar* into the shopman 1 * hand, 1 Minulninr] thai 
Ibopoor family was to have bread enry morning 
till the money was used up. Then I slipped ai 
other Uvo dollars into the girl's hand, and turm 
hriily fmiii her leir tilled eyes. 

"Well, ten dollars was gone, and I was by i 



through ■ German missionary. She is a good 
scholar, and teaches a little school herself, now. 
in Chicago. She has becomo a handsomo and 
refined young woman, and is educating her only 
brother younger than herself. I learned from 
him that my litllogift put now life Into the sink- 
ing heart of tho poor, sick father, and the nourish- 
ment procured with some of tho money, gave 
strength 10 his weak frame. Tho father obtained 
employment, tho little brother found work to do 
in an office, and the girl obtained tho rovorahlo 
notice of a celebrated pianist, who saw thai sbo 
pos-essed musical gifts of a high ordcr.su that by 
his cultivation, she became enabled to support 
herself. So, yon see, ton dollars mado a whole 
fimily happy, grateful, and useful, and bought me 
this beautiful instrument." 
Verily, truth is stranger than Action. 

Air and Exerolso for Women. 
Ix an article npon this subject in the Springfield 
{Moss.) Republican, wo find tho following sensible 
and admirable remarks, and believing tbat the 
happiness and prosperity at tho farmer depend in 
a great measure upon the condition of hi* home, 
we copy a portion, and commend it 10 n careful 
consideration : 

"Tho life of tho fanner is en often made the 
subjoot of complimentary remork, so ofton 
praised for its peacefulness and indi-peniU'iici-. 
that the runner's wife might, very rnii. r.,i!h . he 

supposed to he I he happiest mi in the world. 

From her relation to the "lords of tho soil," sho 
ahould bo tho lody of tho soil, a peaceful, 
healthy, independent woman. Thnt (lit) revorao 
of this, Li the cimera! faot, will bo universally 
conceded by tbo wires of tho farmers. 

"A young farmer arrives at the ago when hi 
ihin!>"it tim.'for him t" get married and 'settle 
down." Ho has hnd n rrspeniuhle eihicntiei 
and wants a woman who is his equal. He looks 

about hi ind mukes his choice. Sbo is o girl 

bred beside him in tho country, linn Leon well 
educated, reared by careful parents, and is, in 
' i truest aeuso, n lady. Sho loves books, pos- 
ise'a skill and tosto in music, and is. in all 
ntrt, fitted to reign tbo queen of a hnppy 
no. Sho becomes tho wife of (ho farmer, is 
bilious to do as much ns her neighbors, and 
r husband is soon avaricious enough to allow 
tho woman of hia love (o becomo bis most do- 
ited dcudgo. From ihoiici-fiirth, her life it. one 
the most unremitting toil. It is nothing but 
end and patch, cook and bako, wash and iron, 
iuni and mnko cheese, pick up chips and draw 
water, bear children mid nursu them. Tho 
family enlarges, tho husband grows wenlthy, 
becomes important in community, rides to town 
iory day, takes hia eoje when he ohooaea; hut 
i0 cares of bis faded and broken-down wifo, 
know no relaiation. Sho may outlive her hus- 
band, hut rarely duos ; and, not uufrequently, a 
lecond wifo comes in In sh.ir.- in the money that 
■tumid U.ivii h.'.-n eiijoj-i-.l li_v b.'t preilefe-jur, 
liriiUL'h ii 'jui'-t eh I uu'o of rat. 

This is no fanoy sketch ; it is drawn from 
ifej and. lu every country town nn.l neighbor- 
ho. nl, iif truth fil in-.-i will h>- r.ri.gntzad. Now 

despise tho good for-ui.thine;.-, ,,f i.,-l,: ,1.1,,

Tkt Overland Mail.— Th* sobr.luif hy "-l.nl. 
Mr. Birch is to carry the mails bet*ean »J

oommenoo on the 9th of July, from Texan." 

According to this arrangement «e may I 
■OnBhly Oipoot tho moil hero the 1st of August, 
>ad when toe rooto is fully « tablished we shrill 
got a mail through in ubout twenty days. [ 1 tin

Perhaps many of our renders ore not aware 
that they can send letters lo the Aliunde Mat.-.., 
by the new overload route, .it tli-i n.tfi of three 
cents per half ounce, the di-timei.- being less 
thiol 3.0O0 mile:, us provided by tho present 
post office law.

The Pacific (r.-iiliiitl draws ;i ijlowing picture 
consequent on the choice of Pacheco's Piss as 
that Ihii.tiL-h which LhcOvuFlonrl mail will |.t.il.;i- 
rily come into tho middle section of California. 

■'Irm'conversation with the Hon. Wm. M, Gwin, 
tliilpiiilenun o:-aii;d a friend oloors that there 
is no doubt the mail stage* will come up notlh 
through theTVjon Pass, and on the west iide or 
the Tulare Likes, and eo on through Pacheco'o 
Pass, into the Mission of San .Tuan Batista. As 
tho new road over Pacheco's Pass is in the best 
sligiriK older, it will afford every facility for the 

through [he beautiful and fertile valleys of San 
Juan, Gilrore, Liguoo, Santa Clara, and so on to 
San Jo:e and Sau Francisco, making one of tho 
most picturesque and delightful traveled roads in 
the world; and beyond c^uipirisoii tho finest 
country and most desirable for settlement and 
health in tho whole £tatc of California. On this 
route there aio no swamps nor bad rivers to 
cross — Enow and ice arc scarcely known, and the 
best of grass, water, etc., is lo be found every- 
where; rame seventy miles of the country be- 
tueee the Tejon and' Pacheco's Pass is but little 
tattled. Tin: fim.'t tullti-.i lor innchi-n and -top- 
ping places are to be found at the foot bills of the 
coast range, from the Tejon to Pacheco's, almost 
all of which is public laud open to settlement and 
occupation."

The train left Salt Lak? Citv by the 15th of 
June, with 1.170 htad uf rattle, and »r'"" a 

Aognat Qlh ot the Iii^ oleadoiie, thiiij-flta 

[rum Honey Lake, with 1,141 Head, all In good 
order. Grass along the Humboldt was good. 
Tbe train met with no trouble from the Indians 
Left the Humboldt at Lunon ileadowa, and 
crossed tbe Desert on the Noble's Pass Route, in 
three days. Gross and water ccarce, but small 
bauds of cattle could be taken through without a 

Seat deal of trouble. Considering the great num- 
rof slock, got over the desert with eottimra 
titely little trouble, loiing but twenty-sii head. 
After leaving Deep Springs, simj milts from 
Humboldt, and from llicru through to Honey 
Lako \'alley, feed and water good. 

The opinion of Captain fcigan, who had the 
train in charge, and who has traveled the other 
routes several times, is that il is far the best 
route, and all tho difficulties of supplying the 
cattle could ho overconio by dividing a large hcid 
into small bands of one lo three hundivd head, 
ami let them travel n fow miles apart. The cat- 
tle of Livingston. Kinkaid & Co. arc at tho Big 
Meadows, on the road to Honey Lake Valley, 
where they will remain till tho feed ia good in 
the Sacramento Valley. 

Mr. Junes Crawthan arrived in Beckwilh's 
Valley on the Jd ml . Imnn; l-n Mi—ouri ui> it ]L . 
2d ot May. II. st.ried with r,T. head of cattle, 
and arrived with 487. On the West Branch of 
the Humboldt relieved a family conainine i,l Mr. 
Ucman and child, and Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, frum 
>□ attack of hostile Indians. 

The immigmtion thin year will be larger than 
any preiloua ycai ilncc 1853.

This Pump will be found an almost indispens- 
able acquisition to Railroads and Mines, where a 
moderate supply of water is wanted, at a trifling 
expense; it can hu attached to steam, worked by 
water, or turned by wind — at any point wharo

Editors FanHen: A Tow days ago, whilst 
inspecting closely some of my finest trees, I found 
they were infected by a small white worm, about 
quarter or an inch long, at, or within, one or'two 
inches Of the top or the ground. All of thu trees 
thus affected arc not in a flourishing condition; 
the leaves turn yellow, and the troo does not seem 
to thrive wol I. Perhaps yon or some of your 
readers can let mo know what Is the most speedy 
remedy. 1 have made an application of strong 
soap- suds i this was my remedy in tha Atlantic 
States. Perhaps you can suggest something 
better. From observation I am satisfied that 
trees upon high lands are often affected in this 
way. Truly yours, infcsto, I. D. Mohlev. 

Wo received tho above letter of inquiry from 
our valued Pleasant Valley correspondent, and 
are happy lo be able to answer his question ; and 
if our suggestions do not meat his call, and 
remedy the evil, wc hope to hear from him again. 
At the same time we would ask all archardisU 
and gardeners, who have been injured by these 
worms, (o inform us, and we would be glad 
to hear from all who can suggest a remedy of a 
different kind from the one we now propose. 

Our remedy is a strong decoction of Tobacco, 
poured round the roots of tho trees, Wo believe 
(bis will "bo (ho death" of Iho worms. Should 
this foil, will friend Morley inform us? 



New Steam Flow. 
A plow Inventor in Iho city of New York pro- 
sents tho following model of a plow, to moot the 
great premium of S50.00D offered by an eminent 
landholder or Illinois, who makes this offer for a 
practical steam-plow Tor the prairies. Where are 
the plow makers of California? Let thu genius 
of tho Gulden State win the premium : 

A steam-plow for the prairies should consist of 
a mclal frame mounted upon wheels, in the peri- 
phery of which are sharp pins or teeth to hold 
upon tho esrlh. In front Is an independent 
wheel, fixed to a swivel, so that tho machine may 
be steered by it in any direction, and capable of 
accommodating Itself lo (he irregularity or tha 
earth. Upon tha frame la the boiler, with the 
engine attached; also the tender for fuel ond 
water. At the rear part of tho frame is a second 
frame, arranccd lo bo raised and lowered at will. 
A large toothed wheel Is surrounded for about 
one-third Its front periphery by several small 
wheels, and below these smaller wheels are tho 
cutters, suitably braced. These cutters will bo 
verllcal, or nearly so, and will consist of several 
blades placed spirally around a shaft. Motion is 
given (n Ihe largo wheel from the engine, which 
causes It to revolve, carrying with It the small 
wheels and cutters. As tho cuKcrs rovolvo they 
may bo lowered into (he car(h, screwing it up and 
casting it over their topa so that It will fall in a 
pfrleitly hroken-up mass. - Hiving (has placed 
them in (he ear(h tho machine presses forward, 
chipping the soil Into thin shavings (similar to 
(ho shavings from ■ wood-planing inscliino), and 
"King the mass over (hoir tops, mixing tho 
ioIu together in a manner superior to ony work 
it can bo done by tho plow and harrow, as It 
ves it entirely like a balch ol meal. A sepa- 
ra(o carriage in (ho rear will carry tho planting 
— ' -ovcrtng machino. This will bo peifectly 
r, so that by slightly changing, it will either 
roadcast, in drills. r,r in hilla. Tho cowing 
apparatus will follow and perform its work bc- 
j manner tho seed is to bo covered, 
icseen that instead of goiugovcr tho 
ncs to perform (ho wprk, i( is be(ter 
... u„ u single passing over tt. Ono man can 
enieiitl> manage tho machine, and will plow 
plant from twenty (o thirty acres per day. 
ill not work in stony groond, but will readily 
ill roots up and mix them with tho earth.

md tumors of failures, and the cry of hurt] nines, 
beginning in San Francis mi the other large 
cities, will well over the hills and valleys, and be 
echoed back from Ibo moon tain*. 

To furnish a healthy bosiness lor the cities 
and toirns now in California, there should be at 
least one million of inhabitants. The importing 
merchants cannot sell their wares oicept to a 
limited client, because the small population is 
soon supplied, ind the people in the coontry can- 
not afford to buy, oscepfc barely the necessaries 
of life, because they finjCo ready markets for the 
prodnctfl of their landsjor articles manufactured 
from the raw material produced in the Stale. 

Those living in cities, hieing little trade, high 
rants, exorbitant UiU, c»pentivo living, and 
small profits, cannot afford to purchase- luxuries 
from tbo country. This leaves a surplus in the 
banda of tho farmer, and themercbant- If either 
could 6ell at fair rates, they could well afford to 
buy of the other. The landlord, by having all 
bis warehnnscs and tenements tilled with those 
ivbo could promptly pay the rents, could let ol 
less prices than now rule. Tho merchants, meet- 
ing with ready sale for their wares, could then 
afford to bnlld booses and surround themselves 
with elegant luiorica. This would call out and 
amply remunerate the mechanical skill of the 
State. IV hen the mechanics and merchants 
thrive tho farmers will prosper. When all 
classes are prospering, tho growth of a Stale must 
bo vigorous, healthy, and permanent. While all 
continue to thrive, no one class of a community, 
following any of the great induslrial pursuits of 
the nation, can suffer long without all other 
classes feeling it, and suffering also. All depart- 
ments of tradn and industry an so intimately 
connected that it is utterly impossible for any one 
to be long depressed, without retarding the gen- 
eral prosperity. It ia the harmonious blending 
of tho colors of tho rainbow that lenders it an 
object of admiration to all who behold it- So it 
is tho graceful harmony of all Industrial pursuits, 
tho grouping together of all the compor 
of tho comparatively, separate interests of all tho 
people of a State, or nation, lhat the true strength, 
vigor, end glory of the country may be fully 



While this feeling is being recognized lu tome 
oilcot, and crory year sees California more self- 
ig and independent, the absolute occes- 
nviog • largo increase of population is 
felt by all classes. If two hundred thousand 
could land upon your shores every year, the very 
kind of persons you most need, California would 
ift her drooping head, and come forth to greet 
bem, decked In gold, encircled with (lower*. th« 
ems of~her prolific soil, radiant in beauty, buoy- 
nt with hope, and maje.itic in her mighty power. 
This, I believe, Messrs. Editors, is thooulyhnpo 
of a better slnie of things, and this should be 
:kly, for there is loo much at stake 
' to bo lost , but if you do not tokc hold 
of the subject, and pmbo tbo whole matter, and 
tho full extent of the evil under which the 
State is staggering, It cannot bo supposed thnt 
other persons and States, with no immediate in-. 
there, will trouble themselves ahuut the 
matter, to the extent that they would, if they 
should see Californians putting ihoir shoulders to 
the wheel, and urging on the good work iii every 
ludablo nay. Those who wish help must first 
help themselves. Even within yourselves you 
i power to revolutionise 
the entire Slate ; or, in other words, to produce 
:h a change for the better, that you yourselves 
uld recognize it, 

Before reading the article alluded to, I Intended

cently organized in your city. Thnt is certainly 
■tby of the serious attention and hearty sup-

Had California been at the beginning likr 
Stales, her growth would, as others, have been 
gradual and healthy ; but the very necessities 
the case, at first, required large cities, where sup- 1 
plica could be landed and resbipped to the interior. 
The tidy of population from tho Plains, met by 
tho advancing nave from the Pacific coast, soon 
spread over the mining districts; all depending 
upon the cities for the necessaries of life, and all 
the implements of labor. These cities, having a 
largo profit on ell poising through them in tho 
way of merchandise, soon expanded beyond all 
former precedent in any other coontry. Their 
warehouses and wharves were tilled with all 
kinds of tho sUploaiticlcs of life. Then, the two 
great pursuits of California were, digging roM, 
and the supplying miners with food and raiment 
in exchange for tho gold, and shipping the trea- 
sure to the East, to foot tho bills. 

When, however, the farmer began to sopply 
bread for the masses, this great branch uf trade 
Toll off; but, previous to this, shippers, believing 
or hoping that breadstufls could never be pro- 
duced there, ur even any of the comforts of life, 
made oxtcoslvc arrangements for a permanent 
business of greet profit. Extensive warehouses 
were built, largo orders were sent to the East, for 
the necessaries and luxuries of lire. From every 
part of tho State the golden stream set In towards 
thecitica. This ilimuli ted merchants to increase 
tbeir Orders, already too large, until tho wharves 
literally trembled, and the warehouses groaned 
under the weight ol merchandise. 

In tho midst or this moat unparalleled prosper- 
ity, the flames again and again auept over the 
cities. With an energy unheard of before, your 
eiliiens girded themselves to grapplo wllb both 
flood and flame. Whole streets and stores sprung 
up, almost like Jonah's gourd, in a night. Wider 
and deeper flowed the golden tide; higher and 
broader became tho warehouses; more costly 
were their contents; when again, in a few short 
hours, all were a mass, of smoking ruin 
they wero not discouraged In their work 
In the meantime, those In tho interio 
to cultivate some of tho Staple products, and 
found, to their joy, that California could produt 
more grain than any other country. Fiom tbi 
moment, the march of California has been gli 
rious and triumphant at every step. She hi 
tome hard lessom to learn, and is now learnin 
from the best schoolmaster, adversity. All ai 
now beginning to feel that there is no State wbci 
all can prosper, as merchants or farmers. In 
short, they are teaming that there il a reciprocity 
of interest, in all places, that must bo held u&crcd 
by those who would prosper, 



Every one who takes, share in this Company, 
by thus partieipaling in tho good work, sdds 
Strength to the Slate, promotes his own personal 
Interests, nnd secures for himself and children a 
permanent prosperity. Could California sec and 
know the perfect enthusiasm existing here id re- 
lation to this grand enterprise, and know how all 
envy her tho honor of bringing out one of tho 
greatest movement! of the oge, although the 
youngest Stale in the Union, it would iofoso an 
energy nnd ardor into their movements lhat 
would easily overcome all tbo opposition Ibst 
conld be brought against it. All hero feel that 
California knows bor doty, and that she will 
most nobly perform it. 

I herewith send you nn estimate, carefully 
drawn up, of the receipts nnd expenditures of 
the Company, which is exclusive of 'the twenty

Steamship Companies has been proposed, an 
they ore willing to bring ill who will pay thei 
ruinous prices, hut not without. A Wagon-Road 
must be a work of time; a Railroad or a score oi 
more of years. In tho meantime, Minnesota 
Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, and othe 
Western States and Territories are holding ou 
inducements to immigrants, era constructing 
railroads, and building Steamer*, and doing all ii 
to turn the tide of population t( 
their borders. Now, if Lin r.'ipi.lly -.ituHinp ii'li- 
tuts in, fairly and slroogly towards those 
localities, it will be very ditflcult to turn it in 
any other direction ; far more £0, than it w 
llr.-l tu give il another direction. I have heard of 
no plan yet lhat seems as welt adapted to meet 
tbo wants of California as this ; indeed, if carried 
out, it will be iho salvaliou of the Slate. Why 
should jour people not carry it out 1 Will they 
not, in every vsay be gainers by doing sol and 
the sooner the belter for oil. 

The titles, ihcrc, are hard. Yet, Califarnia'na

gees inlo the colfor; of ciipiiuli.-iH in I his city, ami 
thus, month by month, the Slato is drained to

No wonder families aie breaking up. and coming

earn comes here. The fnctis, the pretiure ofthit

upon till ytittr energies, and is tapping the very 
foundations of all your prosperity. There seem* 
j that there is a screw loose somewhere ;

4,000 of your gold Is paid out yearly to

lalningaslt now is. those living there do not 
feel free to urge their friends to join them ; and 
many cannot, or will not pay tbo present rates of

matter* may bo worse than ihoy have ever yet 
been. The old ships arc not safe to bring pas- 
sengers to your shores, and aie getting worse

are there nol/our thousand person* in all Call,

will take one share, and who can pay ten pui

State Fall at Stockton. 
EnUmuuni for tbe BthlWtloa! 
We published a synopsis of tho work as it 1 
been progressing, 1° »" laat isBae ' ■ Dl1 oovtog 
wived a letter from tho Recording Secretary sir 
that issue, 6o fall of the mat and interest, coming 
from the Beard of Directors, wo publish it, aed 
hope it will stir np the- people. Wo am of opinion 
that Stockton intends to redeem herself from ibi 
choree or being a dull place. It « ill be seen thai 
everything jfl moving wilh electric speed. The 
Social Departmeat will be under the special 
of tho ladies j and of o sorely, we know it will be 
tho ne pint vllra— for what they undertake will 
bo accomplished, and successfully, too. Tho citi- 
zens of Stockton no donbt will mako it, in reality, 
a jubilee week 

We also pnblish the list of the several Commit- 
tees, and it will be poroaved that they have been 
selected with great caro from nil sections of the 
State, and most be satisfactory ; nod tho gentle 
men elected should make it s point to be present 
nod act, and give time to do so. 

We novo received a parcel of Mcmbera' Tickets, 
which can be had of as, or at onr office. Theso- 
tickets admit the members with their family, lo all 
theEihibitionsoftboseason. Itistobehopedthst 
all friendly to this cause, will call and get tickets. 
P.S, Those of iho sterner sel mast carry blank- 
els, so that they con "bonk down" if necessary, or 
do "camp duty" and stand guard, as the Ladies 
are to be first provided for :

The hour is drawing nigh when tie First Me- 
chanics' Fair npoo the Pacific Coast will show to 
tho world the material that Uio Worklngmen or 
California nre composed or. We have always said 
we have no donbt of the cnmplolo (rlomph of this 
Fair. The quiet, steady and onward progrisa of 
the bcontifol building, now nearly completed, in 
which aro In be exhibited. Ibogeuins and skill of Iho 
Working-men of California, ia in itself a guarantee 
of success- No one can look npon thiit noble 
structure, its style, ils appropriate form and sire, 
nnd not feel proud or the Mechanics of ourStute. 
There bos been a generous feeling manifested all 
over tho Slate, nnd we are happy in know and to 
testify to the fact that large numbers or oor Me- 
chanic* in various branches of Industry, ore- pre- 
paring to eihibit tie evidences of their skill tied 
ability. Artists, too, io all tho varied branches 
of gen ins and taste; the Ladies (heavtn bit*.* 

]), will show their power and influence ; at 
tho Horticulturist, and tho Farmer, they will jail 
and thus every landholder, every merchant, every 
capitalist, is directly affected by the success of this 
None most bo indifferent, 
are most happy to know that Dr. Scott will 
upon tho subject, next Sunday evening. 
Every body should go nnd heir, nnd learn thai it 
our moral duly to sustain tho labors and inter- 
■ ■< of tho Workingmen. 

We trust all Mechanical Societies nnd Asoocia- 
ids will be represented, and that Lectures, Ad- 
dresses, Discourses, etc., will be employed during 
the Fair, to enlighten tho public mind, and thus 
liability lo this great effort to make known 
" Dor State.

made up, so we can give you the complete list in 
course of a week oreo. Wo are makiog extensive 
preparations lo receive our guests, and do not 
mean to let any ono want for food or lodging. 
Several properly owners in Stockton have given 
us the use of their buildings that ore unoccupied, 
to be used for lodgings. The Square around the 
Court-house has Just been graded by the county, 
and the city will have Ibe half of tho Sqoure be- 
longing to her, graded by the 17th of September, 
at a coat orStoOO. Tho city has given the Society 
$1000, and Lhe county $1000; and the 85000 
coming from the State wo will receive in cash on 
the 1st of September. 

r fanners are sending ihoir samples of

exhibition. All are determined to do something. 
Thoro never was o, pooplo more united in any 
one thing than tbo Formers, Stock-raisers and 
Mechanics are to mako this Foir far eieel all 
•others that have taken place in Ibis Stnlo. Bo- 
eidua our regular premiums, Iho™ will bo one

interesting. Tho Eieeativo Committco are 
working night and day at this matter, and their 
efforts are well seconded by the people of the 
city and county. Men aro telling me every 
day, give mo something to do ; wo will do any. 
thing, only sot os lo work. This is tho feeling 
here, nod we think throughout the Slato wber- 
ovor wo have been. 

"Wo intend to have our building for tho Ball

New Implements. 
Durikg onr two day's visit nt Stockton, this 
week, wo looked through tho busy workshopn 
of tho Mechanics thoro, nnd a busior sot, or n 
more hard-working and industrious lot of mon, 
wo never saw. Wo ooJIod nt tho shop of D. C, 
Mnltooon & Co. to oinmino tho now Implements 
tboy aro preparing for Ibo Mechanics' Fair. 
Thoir Mower and Itoaper is of a most approved 
ibinitjfr many advantage 
led in California, nnd mndn mostly of 
California limber. This muohina is so con 
structcil that the apron and reel nro added nfto; 
tho mowing soosou is over, and nn admirabh 
Itenpor Ukoo tho place of a MoWor. Tbo 
wheels aro five feet in diameter, thus relieving 
tbo loam vory materially, and tbo work accom- 
plished is much greater because easier dona — a 
greater number of acres harvested ; easier, and 
nt loss expense. This implement will be ex- 
hibited at tbo Fair, for oiamination. 

A new Collivalor of Inrgo size and power, for 
preparing land immedintely after tho crops nro 
off, called a Volunteer Cultivator ; n most ad- 
mirable implement. Tho Gang Plow; Ibis Plow 
won tho premium at tho Snn Jose Fair, and is 
known ns tho best largo Plow now in use. A 
Harrow of excellent mako, ono thnt will bo

colled tho .Farmer's Pride, and will bo found 
worthy that nomo. Barloy Forks — those will 
bo fouad tbo host implements yet offered to 
harvesters, nnd will aid thorn 1 mntorinlly. 

Messrs. Matteson As Co. deserve great oredit 
fur their persevering industry nnd skill in thus 
striving to offer to the formers of our Stole, im- 
plomants of homo manufacture of so high a 
character, and thus at the samo limo benefit Iho

Chinese Bu gar-Cane. 
/This new species of lhe Sugsr-Canc, just intro- 
duced into our Stale, will prove a very valuable 
product to California. As green fodder for stock, 
ipecially for swine, it has no eqonl, as tho young 
ickers around tbe main slock can be cut and will

A Good Example— A Loaf of C&H.B. 

In our ramMings, the last week, wo made a 
call at lhe lioaso of ■ friend, and, nhito io conver- 
sation with friends, a little girl of some dozen or 
fourteen years came tripping into lhe room, and, 
addressing a gentleman present, said, "Will you 
tabo a piece orcakc, father 7 I hovo been learn- 
ing domestic duties, and Ibis is of my otcti mull* ; 
please tell mo if you think it good." The cake 
was passed round lhe room; ice tasted it, and 
brought a piece away with us, and have just fin- 
ished it; It iri" excellent; much belter than 
many married women of our city could make, we 
fear. What an excellent plan, if all liltlo misses 
could bo early taught domestic duties, to mako 
bread, cakes, butter, roast a pleeo of beef, make 
puddings and pies— how great would bo tho ad' 
vantage lo California, where ovcry family -bos 
been, and is, so likely to meet with changes in 
fortooe ■, bow great help in time of need 
would be tbe well-trained daughters ; bow sweet 
tho food, in Iho bourof adversity, thnt is prepared 
by Iho hand of a child. As we tasted that cake, 
wo thought how sweel lhe taste of that cake must 
be to that father. Wo should bo prouder uf that 
attainment in a child thon of mora sbining ac- 
complishments, without this domestic excellence. 
This again reminds us of another circumstance 
which occurred in one of our rambles in lhe 
country, We were in company with a vory ex- 
cellent young gentleman friend, who was travel- 
ing with us, and Justin a marriageable condition ; 
with cxcollent education, fortune, good address, 
and every qosllDcalion lo please. When calling 
on a Tamily, wo introduced our frlond. Tbo fam- 
ily upon whom wo called bad recently moved 
into a new house ; it wss of modern stylo ; gen- 
teel, well arranged, handsomely furnished— and 
tho lady, ns is usual, invilcd us to look at the near 
haiue. ond lo givo our opinion of it. We did so. 
Tho lady of tho house, with her daughter (n very 
bindtomo young lady of sixteen) then showed os 
over tbo house, parlors, halls, sitting-rooms, 
dining-room, all. To say it was handsome, or- 
derly, and most corily comfortable, particulorly 
so, would be but Irulbful words. Just as wo 
were returning to tho parlor, lhe dnught( 
"Would you look nt my parlor J" 
and were led to lbc kitchen. "This is my pari, 
gentli 

If tho term parloi 

stand order, neatness, and elegance, then this w 
a parlor ; and the lovely girl, with sweet blush. 
Tell proud to own she was not ashamed to have 
known sbo knew how lo preside in, or dirccl tbo 
affairs oftho kitchen. At this time, tho family- 
were without servants, and Ibo daughter had 
been educated as every daughter should be. 

Wo returned to the parlor, and tho conversa- 
tion turned upon domestic duties. Tho daughter 
understood tho ait ofplcasing conversation. Then 
music was introduced, and wo soon found this 
fair maid understood bow lo preside in tbe parlor 
also. As we bid foruwcll to our friends, nnd ere 
ereout of Eight of that house, our friend 
"Colonel, that's Ibo girl for mo." And 
since that day, we have frequently met our friend 
in that vicinity, and we should not wonder but 
thnt he is taking tenant in music, or perhaps 
learning how lo cook, or it may bu he Is only 
calling lo seo tboswcclgirl'sparcfiij. Timo will 
explain tho mystery. 
Now we askj would It not bo n good plan if, at

Tirana seems lo be a little jealousy among

regard to the ability of Stockton to take Ibe lead, 
Now we propose, list alt should try their best ; 
make Ibeir but wagons, and bring their but 
teams, and have a grand Trial orskill u t the Stock- 
ton Fair. The old saying thai "tbo proorof Iho

showing ot the coming Fair, who mnkoi

We too lhat J. C. Warren {glad it *

pounds, from Stookton to Mariposa, his team 
consisting of twelve mules. This is thus far Iho 
largest load drawn by ono lenm,

and this month hascome to a Spring-'' "It- These

Vet Spring alwayssccms lo come earlier in the 
city tban in the country. Upturning a few weeks 
sin:c. from a friend's country place, where I hod 
been vainly peering abour in sheltered nooks lor 
violets — bowing over the brown turf 3ml alrm.jt 
listening to bear the liny grat*-bladot culling 
their way through, ! was surprised to find in 
[owdj sunny little gardens growing very green, 
where early flowers were blooming and birds 
singiog— God's lore ond blessing made visible 
and audible. 

Last spring I spent altogclh 
in a qoiet retreat In tbi 
a beautiful natural forest. Here, wit! 
eager impatience, I watched Tor tbe adv 
wild dowers. It seemed to me they ni 
come! First, from sheltered ipout, the little He- 
patica looked forth, willing and gliittnTnj* like 
blue baby-eyes just opening out of sleep) then 
csmo tho pile Sangviiuiria, the varied lamili ul 
TVi'Mum, and the shy Ctaylonia, or "Spring- 
beauty/' hiding in cetftt plaees. but fragrantly 
betraying herself by her own breathings And 
yet olhcrs I cannot name—brave little 
came up, pushing aside the dead leati 
way, or impaling Ihtm on iheir slem 
before the season fairly 

It was with a strange, hall sad, holf-joyfu 
ing that 1 wntched ihe bedding and blooming of 
these wild flowers, the liko or which I had 
teen since my childhood. They seem not nc 
6o beautiful or fragrant as those of their kii 
gathered in my father's wood, long ago; I 
wen. like tbe ghosts of Ihoso flowers, or ra 
liko dear remembered faces, lifted up fiom 
grave to imile on mo once more. 

But I am 'Tolling into the-sear-and-ief 
leal " strain, and Ihat certainly is out' of p 
when discoursing of spring-flowers, which 
poet calls "typo of resurrection and second bir

pronounced by traveled folk Ihi

of La Seals at Mian, and both the outside a.. I

is to me, more bcautifa and tro I y elegant thao

"Be Euro Yon ore nigbt. Then Go Anoad." 
Messrs. Editors : Divines lell us, as you 
and the readers of tho Faiuieb well know, that 
it wu a wise arrangement of Holy Church to 
institute Lent ; as othorwiso, oJtbong b tho 
parsons are constantly calling upon their flocks 
to repent of their oril ways, and turn to a now 
life, they might oicuso themselves by saying 
that they would thing of tho matter at n moro 
convenient :■'■--■■ Li- This eeoms sensible; and 
although, of tho Feasts and Fnsianf tho Chniob, 
I hod ajwuysa decidod preference for tho former. 
and even when a sebool-boy used to regret that 
"Christmas came but onco a year," I really 
think wo fanners might in our worldy matters 
toko a hiot from those good men, especially as 
In many things it cannot now-n-doys bo mid 
fliat " the children of this world are in their 
generalum wiser thou the children of light." 

The tost sheaf of this orop has now been 
harvested, and a considerable portion threshed 
oat, nail a little reflection will enable every far- 
Bar to ascertain whether his returns sufficiently 
Rmunerato him for his labor and expenditure 
Bat it is not from a merely general reflootioi 
tint n o< is it system U likely to be followed ii 
fntore. It is not likely to lako forty days to di 
•a, however, in a satisfactory manner. I nnuh 
therefore recommimd to our agricultural frieods 
in imitation of those saints of tho olden time, U 
think seriously over the matter ; and take titn- 
to it, so that thoy may como to a correct con 
'elusion; and it it woro not presumptuous. 
"rronU make a few rcmurks whioh I belinva wil 
do no barm and may do some good ; especially 
as I havo been a farmer myself, utid know pretty 
well "the tins with which Ibny aro most likely 
to bo tempted." and wherein their system is 
unost likely to be deficient. 
*5Tho first thing which 1 would recommend to 
every farmer is to keep regular Books. Is it 
not strange tint every petty grocer nhoold per- 
ceive the propriety -i doing so. and yet farmers, 
to whom they are of so maah importance, seem 
to think such a thing entirely unnecessary 1 I 
do not mean merely that tho farmer should keep 
aregulur account of his expenditure and iqoamo, 
and ourrent family expenses. It is probable 
that hi) does keep such an account. But this is 
not coougb. He should keep a regular Labor- 
Book, and open n Dr. and Cr. account with 
every field on tho farm. Tho propriety of this 
is evident. Some of bis fields may bo highly 
profitable, and others may not pay for the culti- 
van'on; and fur reasons which wo shall seo by 
and by it Is of the greatest importance to him to 
know exactly their separate returns. In this 
Book be ought to Dr. each field with the value 
of tho labor put opoo It, tbo valuo of tho seed, 
the expeoses of harvesting and carrying the 
produce to market, and alto a proportion of tin 
incidental eip, uses of the farm; Bud Cr.lt with 
tifl gross returns. 

By the adoption of each u correct system, 
(ho farmer would ho enabled to comparo and 
Contrast one finld with another, oud bo induced 
to draw conclusioos as to tho causes or their 
different productiveness, and tho propriety of 
enhancing by nn improved ayskm of forming 
that of [!i (150 whioh may not have yielded any 
profit at all, or of abandoning their cultiv, 
*3lDgDlher — always keeping in mind that 
wldam ni-o t/> abandon the cultivation of 
Jitr which bo bos already provided men, anil 
tad implement*, and which Iboagh ho ce 
apparently employ to advaolago as he has 
finning hitherto, bo cannot want 



Now I would muko a bargain with our ugri- 
Itoral friends: — Although, being so far agood 
otestaot, I havo no wish to bocomo their 
rather confossor, I would oxnaiioo moro par- 
ticularly tho claims of deep-plowing and sub- 
s' .i ling, if every farmer, who after n proper in- 
vestigation has reason to bo dissatisfied with his 
rofits under his present syatom, should bo bo 
listied thnt my conclusions aro right in tho 
uin, would giro them a fair trial — keeping at 
10 some time a correct account of tho labor 
performed, the value of the seed, and tho pro- 
and orory other item connected with tho 
work ; and also so far as ho can n similar ac- 
; of bis labor nnd expenses on tho tamo 
field, and its produce, this past year; and 
publish tho results in tho Farjeek for general 
salisfootion ; detailing exactly the method which 
adopted. This I think is a fair proposal, and 
may bo attended with good results. 

Believing, Messrs. Editors, that you coincide 
ritb my opinions, and that Mrs. Bolt has some 
-iflaenco among tho ladies of hor neiphh.irh.. • ■■!. 
nd the ladies over thtir husbands throughout 
ho whole State, I think among us wo may 
muster such on opposition against poor Bon 
himself, that ho may huva in the matter of 
farming to yield to petticoat govei

forms an aculo triangle, the radii being ranges o

lively contrast with the wild-Oats at thi 
of tbo year.

of tho volley, under this wide-extended gravo, 
here tho land can be seen for a distance, slight- 
undulating iu its surface, and perfectly clear 
any underbrush. Here, too, tbo cattle wondei 
herds or stand together enjoying a common 
shade. Such a beautiful appearance do these 
trees give tho valley that band must bo ruth 
less, indeed! to destroy any but ono that wa 
defective. Not too thick to interfere with culti 
vation, no use calls for cutting them down hut 
lire-wood, which can bo obtained on the sldcfaills. 
There is not much grain raised. Though thi 
land seems to have as much strength to it as tin 
land In Soisun, still It does not produce so great 
a crop. One feature or the valley is tho stone- 
walls which will shortly inclose the Bandies 
wholly. For four years they havo been stretch'

about my lv 



Horticulturist 

We ore apt. from all that hii been published, 
In look upon Washington as a farmer on a largo 
Kale, hut "hen wc approach him nearly, wc llnd 
him also a gardener and a horticulturist. In read, 
ing Irvine/s now life of tho great Statesman, it Is 
ditllciilt not to extract a passage here and there, 
and to-day we must be imbibed in this respect. 

'In a letter to the Chevalier de OhssMIui, for 
whom he fell an especial regard, he says: "I will 
only repent lo ynu tho assurances of my friend- 
ship, nntl of the pleasure I shall feel in seeing you 
in the shade or llie-e tree ■■ v-lii.-h my hands have 
planted; and which, by their lopitl growth, n't 
onco indicate a knowledge of my declining years, 
and their disposition to spread their mantles over 
me, before I go hence to return no more." (Vol. 
iv. pp. -155.) 

A few pages forward, we como upon the follow- 
ing passages, from the graceful pen of Mr. Irviog : 

- He had :w;inii;eiilal eorre^rjiiiiilent in his rjuon- 
dam brother-soldier, Governor Clinton, or New 
York, whoso spear, like bis own, bod been turned 
into a pninlng-hook. 

'■Whenever tho season is proper, and no oppor- 
tunity offers," writes he to the Governor, 'Tshall 
he glad to receive the Balsam trees, or others 
which you may think curious and exotic with us. 
" "dng to improve tho grounds 
i this way." Ho recommends 
csre certain grape-vines, of tho 
choicest kinds, for tho table, which an uncle of 
tho Chevalier de Luzerne had engaged to send 
from Franca, and which must he about to arrive 
at Now York. Ho is literally going to Bit under 
his own vine and his own fig tree, and devote 
himself to tho pleasures of rural life. 

"At the opening of tho year 171*5, tho entries 
in his diary show him diligently employed In 
preparations to improve his groves and shrub- 
bery. On tho Kith of January, ho noles that tho 
while thorn is in full berry ; on Hie 20lh, bo be-

"In February, he transplants ivy under the 
walls or the garden, to which It still clings. In 
March, he is planting hem lock- trees, that moat

Generally, however, discoveries were not «1qw in

Count Fer [Hindi na's garden, on the Uerro Road, 
i short distance from Havana, is the best worth 
,'isiting of any tbat wo could hear of, and is sect; 
able to all strangers. It occupies but a few acre 
n tho English style. Tho Arancaria Braxilici 
iis is one of the most striking trees; it has a' 
tained a bight of about twenty feet, and forms, i 
irce, a magnificent object. There is almost 
total absence, in Cuba, of coniferous trees ; who 
we call "evergreens" are not required, because 
they have broad, shining- leaved trees that are 
irergreen, which they value moic highly. There 
s a very hue collection or palms here, including 
he fan-palm, and ono with a frond at least six 
eet in length. The Caoutchouc, or India-rubber 
ree. is also a great ornament, and attains consid-

Destruction of tbei Moloa nnd Gopnwa. 
Wb copy tho annexed article, which appears 
ns a communication in tha Oregutiian, and refer 
our readers to an article wo published a year ago 
or more, whoro they will find wo hove given the 
fact that Castor-oit Bean is (Ac plant ; and wo 
presume that is whit Iho writer of tho following 
alluded to. thuugh hn tins made no mention of 
what plant it is. He Says: 

"1 have seen and heard much in regard to Ag- 
riculture nnd Horticulture, ns to tho best modes 
or cultivating training, &e., with various receipts 
fur destroy lug such insects as are more or less in- 
jurious to vtg.-i-iiiim. ami ccpei-inlly to fruit trees. 
'1'uoro are many, however, that seem to have been 
overlooked, which I lliiuk deserve notice. There 
am also a few onirnolB which aro extremely an- 
noying. Ono of the most destructive to a young 
nursery, garden or cornfield is the ground-mole. 
At least, I found llieui so on my farm Tor the first 
two years of cultivation. After trying vnrinus 
plans and making many fruitless attempts to rid 
my farm of this pest, I was accidentally put 
possession of thn proper remedy. 1 will tht 
fore givo my experience in the matter. So 
three years since, I obtained some seeds of 
rious kinds, wbleb I planted, and after theycamo 
up and matured lo some extent, I observed the 
ground near a certain plant [doubtless the Cas- 
tor-oil Bean, as mentioned above.— Eo. 0. P.] was 
not molested by the mole. I then removed some 
of them to different parts of my garden, which 
had the desired oilect. I was careful to preserve 
tho seed, which 1 planted pron ' 



tisrellaitji.

ravages of Ibo mole. I ha 
its effects on the gopher, as more am none on u> 
farm. I am fully persuaded, however, that 1 
would be as efficacious in destroying the gophc 
as tho mole, as there seems to be but a shade 1 
difference between the two. I should have mad 
known my discovery sooner, but I wished In th 
the first place lo tost the matter fully myself, ani 
then there would bono mistake in laying it before 
tho public." 



Vicious Cattle. 
Toe common rice of jumping and throwing 
fonoca is taught to cattle, with scarcely nocicep- 
tion, by their owners and oaro-tnkers. Fcnoog 
half down soon fall by tho rubbing of eatth 
and leach tho first losson, especially if cattle, 
hnvo any shrewdness in observing cause and ef- 
fect. Very fine feed just over a poor fence, ia 
tho next lesson; lotting down bars and rail 
fenoes to tho halves, from laiiness, so that th. 
animal has to leap, is tbo third lesson — and thl. 
last is often first, second and third with sheep 
until thoy will scaln anything. Theso three 
lessons aro usually enough, but a fourth is often 
added, namely : placing one additional ri 
tho fence each successive day, qa thoy become 
more skillful, for tho ostensible object of keep- 
ing tbo jumper within bounds, but really ope- 
rating as a most ingenious contrivance to tcuoh 
tho art oE vaulting. Wo hnvo heard of Prot 
being "taught in six lessons;" but very few 
animals require moro than tho abovo funr to 
onnblo them to toko a "French leave," of any 
ordinary in closure.

THE OALirOBNIA FABMEB^ 



Dr. Bcotfa Addreaa on Mechanic Art. 
Thc Lecture announced lo bs dilivcrcd! on last 
Sunday by this distinguished Divine was just 
what mtehl have been eupcctai, and the crowded 
churcb was (ho hut proof that much iris in an- 
ticipation by those who attended. Wo never 
recollect seeing so crowded* bouse before, and 
•re are confident all went away gratified. 

The Lccturo was truly original, and we thinh 
that many who hate heretofore looked upon the 
Mechanic with disdain, because- ho was only a 
irontin^-man, must bate had some new idea* 
pat into their beads, when they learned (per- 
haps for the first limo) that Solomon was a me- 
chanic ; for wo verily believe that men who have 
snch a horror of the presence of a Fanner 
homespun and a Mechanic jn his apron, 
think they are not llko ordinary men, and 
now be proved to bo a fact, for when tho beautiful 
Pavilion— or more properly Speaking Temple 
for it will bo truly a Temple of Art— shall be 
opened, the Mechanics of California will show 
thoy are in deed and truth extraordinary men. 
But to the lecture. Dr. Scott selected the follow- 
ing, passages of scripture upon which to base his 
remaika : 74tb Psalm, olb verse ; Isaiah 5th clip. 
23d verso; Gencses 1st chap. 4th verse, slid 4th 
chap, and last verses. From these he demon- 
strated that the bastsof all early formsof govern- 
ment, of progress, of societies, of prosperity in 
all departments, rested in Agriculture and the 
Mechanic Arts, and tho aid which science gave to 
their devoloperaent, Tho Plow, (he Gold, the 
"Cattle upon a thousand hills;" these wero the 
means of advancement among the ancients. With 
lliu aid of these Solomcn bnilt his glorious Temple 
and the Pyramids were raised. Witbtbcsccllie 
were built, and 'WAon! then," saldtbcspcakci 
"ciliu eannai be btalt." 

The lecturer gave a Ecrles of most interesting 
facts, from sacred and profane histories, of thi 
rise and progress of Agriculture and tbcMeehanii 
Arts. Be spoke of the manner in which thc 
ancients pressed out tho wine and thrashed out 
their grain. He also spoke of the First Agri- 
cull.. ml Exhibition in good old Ireland, in 1723, 
(wo wish, we had a history of the "taters" 
Mhibilod), of Iho second in honnle Scotland, or 
(ho third in merry France, and thence to our 
'■Fader Loud," staunch old England -, and in allud- 
ing to tho advance or Arland Science in England 
(he Doctor well and truly said, "tho proudest thing 
England ever did was lo erect the Crystal Palace." 
Wo cannot but allude to some of > Ibc most 
happy expressions of the lecturer. In speaking 
of tbe influence cf Fairs on thc domestic depart- 
ment ho said, it is no difficult thing to mike a 
loaf of broad, but to make good bread ia no 
mean thing. This happy hit we hope will ho re- 
sponded 10 by tho fair daughters of California, 
and no hope they sill show the Doctor they 
know how lo make good bread. Wo shall move 
lhat the best loaf be awarded tho Doctor for his 
happy hi'. He also made a happy allusion to 
what will be necessary during this great Fair, a 
generous hospitality among all families; says Ik o 
Doctor, "letTersoierHospilallsbeinacribcd upon 
every door post; this wilt odd so much lo tho 
prosperity of this great gathering, and go far to 
advance the moral and religious interest of a 
community." Wo beliovo this will be done; it 
has been done at Stockton. 

In commending tbe science of Agriculture and

WacelBr'a Garden, [Sacramento. 

When at Sacramento a little' time since, we 
paid a visit lo the Garden of Ituv.O. C. Wheeler, 
and found much to admire. A fine arbor of the 
Los-Angeles Grapo forms a good shady walk in 
semicircular form, from tho entrance gale to the 
front door. Tho garden in front is Bllod with 
roses and other flowers, and flno honeysuckles 
and passion Honors cover the front of tho bouse. 

We found the Orchard in wecilonl growing 
order; the Peach trees had heavy crops; Apple 
and Pear trees in hearing; some Nectarine trees 
lhat surpass any crops «o have yet seen wo 
hardly dare say how miny Mouianrf nectarines 
wero hanging on the tree, bat ihoy would " 
in bushels. Strawberries, Raspberries and Apr! 



Thc I 



the dome ol 



nurseries bavo mado remarkable growth ; tbi 
Pear, Plum aod Cherry, have grown live to nini 
feet from bud and graft tho present year. W( 
think Mr. Wheeler has some of the finest varie- 
ties or Evergreens in tho State; wo saw also fine 
ornamental trees of rare kinds, one magnificent 
specimen of tho Tamarind tree in bloom, which 
for beauty canuol bu excelled— it was truly gor- 
geous, and has been in bloom for many weeks. 

Wo saw and toslcd line ponchos, which Mr. W. 
claims as seedlings, and saw others of wonderful 
size. Tho trees in the garden have made a largo 
growth, and the plica Is advancing, Wo regret- 
ted to sec thc Hedge round tho lot had been per- 
mitted to grow without clipping ; we fear it wil 
be lost, as tho wood is greatly injured when cu> 
at large sise. Wo also regretted lhat a garder 
of Ibis size is nol safe from depredations, Mr 
Wheeler being obliged to keep watchers during 
tho night to save his peaches. This does not 
speak well for that neighborhood. 

And one thing more, which we regretted 
than all else, was that Mr. Wheeler found 
gain or pleasure in editing a political or partisan 
paper, than in the cultivation and care of so 1 
lifol a spot as we visited ; pecuniarily, we should 
prefer the chance* at the Garden — the labor and 
thc salitEicllon and tho reward must bo tbt 
greater; for a choice, there would bo no com- 
jwruon for us. However, "every ono to bis 
taste" 



The Farmer Paid For. 
We sometimes think wo seo a different fuel- 
ing expressed upon Iho countenances of our 
friends when wo call upon them— those that 
hare paid nnd tboso that hovo rtof paid— and it 
is o fact, wo oftlimes jjujj tho rnnoh or form of 
aomo who may bo indebted to us, lest thoy may 
think wo como on a dunning errand vnly. Now 
it is indeed most pleasant for us to call among 
our subscribers, and talk of their plans nnd 
hopes. Wo derive both pleasure and profit^ 
and it is unmixed with fears or suspicion, if one 
great bugbear is out of tbo way. Now wo fed 
lhat our terms nro reasonable mid junt. Our 
paper ia placed at a low price, $5 per year, in 
advance ; hut wo do not mean 35, and wait six 
or iwelvo months. Now wo wish to say, fraukly 
hut Uadly, that if persons do not receive their 
[toper after a given time, if thoy will look ut 
■eeeipU, that may explain. If any other 
iccurs, wo desiro to know it immediately, 
oun rectify it. Tho otter matter rests 
with themselves. 

ro Groat Fairs now soon toko place, 
nil our timo there, without thinking 
aey matters, and wo hopo to meet uU 
ribors there; and as wo toko them by 
wo hope lo receive a certain kind of 
"grip," and a smilo, that s
