Los Angeles GRAPE CRoP "A late num-
Der of the Los Angeles Star, alludes to the
grape crop of the present year, as follows:
The gathering of grapes for wine has COM
menced, while OF the crop destined for the
San Francisco market, the greater part will
have been shipped by the next steamer.
That which remains will, we believe. mostly
be made into wine. The crop of grapes this
season is full average, both in quality and
quantity. The increased demand for the
wine of this place, as we'll as the heavy ex-
pense attending the picking and transporta-
tion of the grape to market, is compelling our
grape growers to direct their attention more
80 wine, although SO far, we beiev, our
grapes have commanded a remunerativs
price in the market The expense per pound
of putting grapes in San Francisco, is dou-
ble the cost of the grapes in the vineyard.

N,nking Allownnce for Eriction.

Every practical machinist observes tho
philosophical principle, that one-third of tho
power employed, should be allowed for fric-
ton. He well knows that if this important
item is not taken into consideration, that Q
total failure Of all his plans must necessarily
ensue. Why is not this principle as appli-
cable to the human machinery by which We
are surrounded, the movements Of which we
come in contact daily.
We see the young merchant commencing
business in lifc, his hopes are flattered with
prosperity, and lie is rapidly acquiring
wealth aud influence, and flushed by sue
cess, he thinks that he can afford to be q lit
tie more liberal in his expenditure, and en-
tiers the mGistrom of fashionable society,
here he meets with some unprncipled men
whose tastes are more extravagant and vi.
tiated than his own, and who have tho
means Of indulging them to greater extent
than he can safely do. He is led on by
them through the different degrees Of dissi-
patton until his business becomes q wreck,
and perhaps his property is sold by his crc-
ditors, who are Obliged to take up with
small percentage. Ii might be well to ask
if sucl q man had made any allowance for
friction.
We have seen the youth just entering up
on the arena of life, upon whom the hopes
Of fond and anxious parents were centercd,
and who watched with palptating hearts,
the course of that beloved child, through
the trials and temptations Of life, trembling
lest. in an unguarded moment, he should
forget the admonition, "Maae allowance for
friction" and take some irretrievabie step,
which would blight the hopes OF those pa
rents, and cause them untold sorrow.
We have seen the .alcnted and eloquent
lawyer, who, if he had persevered in his
course of morality and rectitude, might now
have been enrolled in the list of the great
men of our nation, but who dallicd with tho
wine-cup, until he contracted an apps.
ttc for strong drink, which became al
most beyond the power of control, he
yielded to its influence, and sank deeper and
deeper into the whirlpool of ntoxcation,
until ne became that wrctchcd and degraded
object of humanity, confirmed drunkard.
All! did that man make the least allowance
for friction?
We have seen the student coming to his
recitation, ten or fifteen minutes after the
| hour, and perhaps absent every other day at
| that The question at once proposes itself
! 10 me. Is he making any allowance for fric-
ton, Does he expect 10 make rapid ad-
y,ncemcut in acquiring knowledge and be
oLscrycI as a mark of honor to his in
| structor:
Thus it is through all classes Of society,
we see some, daily taking step, which il
| tLey would pause and ask, are we making
allowance for friction, they would refrain
from taking it, and, perhaps, prevent the to-
| tai failure of all their hopes in life.

\ BEwITCHED MISSISSIPPI GIRL.-We find
in the Grenada Republican,, the following
singular narrative Of facts:
We are credibly informed that there is
now in this county, 4 girl ten years Old, who
is very singularly afflicted. 1t appears that
she labors under the impression that she is
bewitched. Her case is certainly remark
able one. She wears piece of gold around
her neck, and if the gold is not watched,
the string will twist to sufIocation. She
thinks if the gold was removed she would
die instantly; on one occasion it was re-
moved while she was asleep, and immedi-
ately there were signs of strangulation. An
other remarkable feature connected with her
case is this cut off piece of her hair and
throw it into the fire, and she will show evil
dent signs of pam, or uneasiness by scream
ing. Her hair has been burnt half mile
distant, and at the very instant of burning,
she manifested the same sign of pain. An
other strange feature in this case is, if the
picture of the individual whom she believes
to be the cause of her suiferlngs, is drawn
upon paper, and shot at with lead it makes
no impression upon her, but present gun
loaded with silver, and she is thrown into
spasms-fre, and she is calm again.

How ALE STRENGTHENED HM.-We be-
lieve we have got hold of an original anec-
dote that fever was printed before. \ stu
dent AT one Of our State colleges had a BAR
rel Of ale deposited in his room-contrary,
of course, to rule and usage. He received
a summons to appear before the President,
who SAID
'Sir, am informed that you have bar
rel of ale in your ROOM"
"Yes, sir"
"Well, what explanation have you to
give:"
"Why, the fact is, sir, my physician ad-
vises me to try little each day as tonic,
and not wishing to stop at the various places
where they retail the beverage, | concluded
to have barrel brought to my room"
"Indeed, and have you derived any bene-
fit from the use Of it:
"Ah, yes sir When the barrel was first
taken TO my room, two days since, could
scarcely lift it. Now l carry it with the
greatest case"
We believe the witty student was dis
charged without special reprimand. At
least he ought to have been.
