A NEW BOOK.

The Editors Of the Lire Giraffe have in
contemplation tho publishing of book,
the title Of which will be, "lLFE AS 1T Is ;
or THE WRITISGs or "OUR MOsE," which
book will not only contain all the letters
which have appeared in the Giraffe over the
signature of "MosE," but many others, rich
rare and spicy, that have Fever been read
The Editors deem it useless TO say any
thing relative 10 the character Of the pro-
posed New Book, nor need they say that il
will be the most amusing work that has
been issued in half n century, for, it need
only be known that "Mosg" wrote il, to
satisfy all on these points. While it will
be an amusing work illustrated with pro-
per designs and cuts to show up persons
and things in their true light, i. will be free
from Vuigariiy, and, will have for its chief
object the correction of the many absurdi-
ties so prevalent in the present day
u will be book of over 100 pages prin-
ted OH good material, and bound in paper
cover. We propose to put it TO press "a
soon rs sufficient rumber of names is re-
ceived to justify the expense Of publishing.
sB Price Fifty cents for single copies
Five copies To one address, for 81. No
money required until the work is pu blished,
but those who wish a copy of this rare
work should send in their orders at once,
so that the publishers may determine
whether they can venture upon It's publica.
ton. Lei the orders come al once, rs we
wish to put the book to press early in July.

ENTHUsIAsN AT NEwFoUNDLAND.-The recep-
ton Of the L. S. ship Niagara at St. Johns,
Newfoundland, shows that the people of that
bleak and inhospitable island are as ardent in
their feelings as the inhabitants of warmer
climes. The telegTaphic company gives the
island an importance which 1t has never before
possessed, and will probably add much to the
prosperity Of the population.
The correspondent Of the New York Herald
sends an account somewhat fuller than that
given yesterday. He says:
When two or three miles off the entrance TO
the harbor, steamboat with large company
on board came out to meet the Niagara, and the
wharf was crowded with boats waiting her ar
rival The lighthouse at Cape Shear was lit
orally covered with flags and streamers, and
the forts on the hills commanding the entrance
to St Johns displayed the American flag.
As the ship passed into the harbor she was
greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the crowds
who were waiting her arrival The wharyes
were througed with anxious expectants, who
cheered and eheered again The Joy bells were
rung in all the churches The noise of cannon
and all kinds of firearms were perfectly deafen-
ing
Hardly had the ship anchored before she
was boarded by numerous friends and WE'LL
wishers, all of them with their heartiest con-
gratulations to Mr.. Field and those who have
achieved the undertaking.
This evening the city is illuminated, and the
people are celebrating the occasion in regular
festival style. The country people have poured
into St Johns from all quarters, and patrol the
streets in their holiday dress The following
inscription is displayed on one of the public
buildings:
SUCCESS TO THE cABLR OF FRIENDSHIP,

. cs,ifornia vino Growing District

Los AngeIos-the " City OF the Angels'-in
Lower California, is the vineyard of the Pacific
The vineyards produce grapes fully equal to the
finest grown in Europe, in flavor and color
comparing we'll with the Black Hamburg
August Ist, 1857, there were over half NIL
lion bearing vines growing in the city, yielding
an average product of eleven pounds to each
vine. The product iu 1857 was fully four mil
Kln pounds of grapes. They brought three
cents per pound for the San Francisco market
the purchasers gathering the grapes from the
vine The picking, packing, and freight to San
Francisco, made the cost of grapes in that mar
ket 8 cents per pound. The quantity of wine
maze from the vintage of 1857 was $4,000
gallons. There was also made Of Angelica
5000, and of Brandy 2OO0 gallons Thevine-
wards are cultivated the same as some of the
choicest of Europe, by irrigation, plenty OF
water being obtained from the canals controlled
by the City government. The valley in which
Les Angeles is situated is about one hundred
miles long by eighty wide, and is all suseePti-
bic of the highest cultivation, the only thing
requisite being water, which can easily be OBJ
tanned, but at considerable cost.
The cultivation of the orange on large scale
is beng commenced at los Angeles. About
l,50O orange trees have been planted, and the
nurseries have $4,000 fit to be. put out next
year.

CH
This town was laid out by Col. David Tod
and others in the mania of 1886, and called af- :
ter the mariner and merchant, Stephen Girard,
of Philadelphia.
An individual passing that way asked Col. /.
" what fool had been driving down pegs in
Reiser's meaiow!" suPposing that good farm
ing land was to be turned into an 50 OrneTy'
town, but the speculation came out better than
any one had a right to expect. There are now
five hundred Inhabitants in the place and work
to do, and good prospects ahead. There Is IN
the town a good FIGURING mill and other ma
chinery, on an excellent mill seat; and it is the
great outlet of the Brier Hill Coal nearest the
Lake by canal and railroad; by the latter sixty
five miles to Cleveland. This is the best point in
the Mahoning Valley to make Iron, and the
best place in the world except Cleveland; and
equal to that.
This opinion is made up from careful eI-
animation of the subject, and Will bear the
strielest scrutiny, the whole range Of the Iron
business taken into consideration; and this con-
clusion must sooner or later force itself into
effect. AT either of these places the Iron busi-
ness can be pursued with success, even now
under the present depression, and by the time
works can be erected the trade must greatly
improve.
The advantages of these places and vicinity
TO make Iron are new IN the worlds history
the meeting at cheap rates of the primitive ores
and bituminous coal that reduces the ore with
out eOkeing, and produces quality of Iron
never before made with mineral coal, equal fol
almost all purposes to charcoal Iron. Brown
Bonnell d Co, are making bar Iron and naIl'
from this IruD, commencing with the ore, moi
exceeded by that made from the average qual
ty Of charcoal pig metal. This works an entire
revolution in the Iron business, and opens up 4
trade vast in its consequences. II furnishes -
article of equal quality at much less cost, anC
/ Of course Will be the Iron used, and there car
scarcely be limit to the quantity required.

BEET SUGAR IN FRAScE-The New Yorl

BEET SUGAR IN FRANcE.-The New York
Tribune of late date says:
The increase in France of the production Of
beet-roOt sugar is such as to be likely quite to
dispense with the necessity of levivlng the
slave-trade for the sake of furnishing the
French sugar colonies with labor adequate to
the production of the sugar needed in France
The amount produced in 1851 was Ga .OOO, 900
kilogrammes; in 1854, 77,OO0,OO0; in 1857,
s3.O00,O00; and this year It will not be less
than LOG, ,O00,O 600 A kilogramme, it will be
recollected, is about two and fifth of our
pounds. The high price of grain has checked
the beet cultivation for three or four years past
but at present prices many new adyertur
viii go into It. In fact. the homemade is gain
ing so fast on the colonial production of sugar
that the Chamber of Commerce of Nantes calls
loudly for a protective duty in favor of the
colonies, whose sugar it is said ought 10 be
encouraged on account of the large quantity of
shipping employed in its transportation
