FORCING AND LIFTING PUMP.

TNlllSFCMP has advantages over any other

is'such that the water is constantly rushin.,
forward liz the same direction, without re-
action IN the cylinder, whether the pist,,n
rod moves up or down. by which great
amount OF power is saved, and more water
passed through cylinder of the same ca
pacity than by those where the water is first
drawn into the cylinder. and then suddcnlv

TRADE WITH JAPAN. The Alta Californian
contains letter from Captain Thomas w.
Badger who had arrived in San Francisco
from Simoda. lie says:
"Thrnush the authorities will not admit
that we have privilege to trade with them
according to the treaty, still they are not UNI
willing to sell their goods for ready money
at their valuation of our dollar. But in es-
tablishing bya precedent the value of our dol
lars according to their copper coin, instead of
a comparative value with silver coin, we are
obliged to sell our dollars for 33a cents, there
by enhancing the value of their goods to such
ruinous price that their willingness to trade
amounts to hardly less than prohibition
