WELL THERE An ingenious far
mer of New York, has invented ma
chine for milking cows. 1t is said to
work admirably All the milk-maid
has to do, is to turn crank, and the
milk flows out freely. The Editor of
the Scientific american suggests an i'm
provement, to wit: "The attachment
of music box to be operated by the
main shaft, in such way as to dis.
course sweet music during the delivery
of the milk. Few arimals are insensi-
bic to the charms of music, and even
insects are said to lend willing ear.
Under its fascinating influence the old
COW may be expected to stand perfectly
still, while the flies, forgetting to bite,
will buzz around with joy" We don't
know what Mrs. Partington will say
now. 1t beats the Calliope.

GETHsEMANE.-Lieutenant Lynch,
OF the United States Exploring Expe-
dition to the River Jordan and the Red
Sea, in 1S4S, visited the garden of
Gethscmane, about the month of May.
He says: "The clover upon the
ground was in bloom, and altogether
the garden, in its aspects and associa-
tions, was better calculated than any
place | know to soothe troubled spir.
it. Eight venerable trees, isolated
from the smaller and less imposing ones
which skirt the pass of the Mount of
Olives, form a consecrated grove. High
above, on either haud, towers a lofty
mountain, with deep yawning chasm
of Jehosaphat between them. Crown
ing one of them is living city, on the
slope of the other is the great Jewish
cemetery-city OF the dead Each tree
in this grove, cankered and gnarled,
and furrowed by age, and beautiful and
impressive in its decay, is living mon
ument of the affecting scenes that have
taken place beneath and around It,.
The olive perpetuates itself from the
root of the dying parent stem, the tree
springs into existence. These are ac-
counted one thousand years old, Un-
der these, of the preceding growth,
therefore, the Saviour was wont TO rest;
and one of the present may mark the
very spot where he knelt and prayed,
and wept. No caviling doubt can find
entrance here. The geographical boun-
darics are too distinct and clear for an
instant's hesitation. Here the Christi
an, forgetful of the present and absorb
ed in the past, can resign himself to
sad, yet soothing meditation. The few
purple and crimson flowers growing
about the roots of the tree, will give
him ample food for contemplation, for
they tell of the suffering and ensanguin-
ed death of the Redeemer.''

HUGH McDERmorr The rowdies held a
regular jubilee over the appearance of this
amateur Richard III, on his appearance in
Sacramento. So boisterous were they that
they would not allow him to proceed with
the play, and he was compelled 20 surren-
der. Carrots, cabbages, pumpkins, swaDs,
and such like vegetables, were thrown to
him, and although he appeared at the invi-
tation of the citizens, all that could be done
by the manager, Mr.. Phelps, was Of no
avail. He was forced to abdicate, after
which matters progressed quietly. If Mr..
McDermot consults good sense, he will let
the rowdy Sacramentans do their own play
ing hereafter, while he sticks to his trade

in the gentle influence of love and al

"Here lieth the mortal remains OF
Mary Elton, who died on the 3Ist of
December, 1885, aged 30 years.

they are having some experiments in spirit

This matter is attracting good deal Of
attention at this time in our village. Sew

great Importance to mining communities. IN

sam ct al. Remittitur. This was an action
to recover the water of Canon Greek in
Trinity county. This case was transferred
for trial to the District Court of Shasta
county, and the Supreme Court has confirm
ed the decision of Judge Dangerfeld. The
question was one of priority of right, and
the Court instructed the jury that prior pos
session gave prior right, and that the change
of the location of {. dam on water course,
to point above or below, if it took NO more
water from the stream, did not affect the
right of priority to the possession of the
water.-iState Journal.
