New York Tribune, writes as follows:
Continuing our journey Tin the Thurin-
giun Forest, Germany, through the green
valleys and over TIE pine covered mountains
of this country, we alight from our carriage
at rise of the road, and we see a bevv of
children eagerly filing their baskets with
Ger ain flowers growing in abundance in the
blooming meadows or collecting the leaves
of certain plants on the mountain side. We
ask them what they are about, and they tell
us that their school teacher paws them so
many kre'tzers a pound for the flowers. and
so many kreuzerS for the leaves. We look
into their baskets, and, being all of us most
excellent botanists, we recognize that these

extensively and successfully cultivated in the
south of France, and in Algeria; and as an
evidence of the extent and variety of the
application of its material, we may mention
that at the late exhibition at Avirnon. NJ

ing and encouraging home manufactures and
home productions, no one will question. If
we are desirous of retail ing in California
any portion of the gold taken from our mines.
we must endeavor to make home industry
profitable. Who is there in this State that
needs be told the cause of the shipment TO
the Atlantic States and Europe of millions
and millions Of California g Id? Every in
telhgent person must be aware that it is, to
an alarming extent, exported to pay for our
consumption of Eastern and European pro
ductions. We have but few manufactures
IN California, and we fear these few are not
Weli supported. 1t is extremely difficult for
the California manufacturer to successfully
contend against foreign importations. The
high money rates of labor here, when con
trasted with those of older States and coun
tries, would seem to forbid his success. Yet
this difference in the price of labor is not the
main cause of our failure to nuke product
profitable The fault lies in our neglect of
Calitornias best interests. Few of our citi-
zens when desirous of making purchases, ev-
er ask themselves if the articles required are
OF home production. They never think of
that Surely, so important a question is
worthy of consideration. And thus, as
natural consequence of our neglect in this
particular we find there are but few articles
for home consumption manufactured in
the State. This state of affairs has gone on
too long already. 1t has proved runous to
the permanent prosperity of California, and
should be checked as speedily as possible
Now, we would advise every one having an
interest in the Advancement of California to
pay more attention to this matter Let eve
ry individual, no matter how small or trihng
the amount of his purchases, endeavor to Sc
lect California products. a large number Of
the necessaries of life can be produced in this

but study their interests, manufactures will

would afford lucrative employment to thou.

BRrrsH SHrrNG.-A correspondent Of the
London Shipping Gazette calls attention to
the present depressed condition of British
shipping. He says:
"More than one third of the tonnage in the
ports of London and Liverpool are lvinc IN.
employed, and in Calcutta, Bombay, Madras.
Singapore, and China, there are upwards of
100000 tons of British shipping lying idle.
lac value OF ships has deprecated within
the last two years so per cent. Ship-build-
ing at the outports is always suspended, and
thousands of carpenters and other artesans
are unemployed and starving; vast numbers
OF master marines, officers and seamen. are
also IDLE, and in the greatest distress
The reason for this, he argues, is that while
the foreigner enjoys the full benefit of their
carrying trade, Great Britain is utterly exclu-
ded from the carrying trade of other coun-
tries. In regard to the policy of the United
States, he remarks;
" America excludes us from the coasting
trade, and which, from her extensive sea.

especially those belonging to our North
American colonies; and if anything will
have tendency to dissever their connection

building, and could compete successfully with
the American builders but they are excluded
from selling their ships in the United States
although that great republic can sell her YES
sels IN any British port, free of duty; and
our own ship builders having to pay a heavy
duty for timber, gives the American builder
a protection as against the British builder, Sc
that not only our ship-owners, but our ship
builders, are subject to a ruinous and unfair
competition with the United States. Thi.
state of things calls aloud for immediate rem

He recommends the calling of meetings all
over the country, of ship.owners, seamen
and Others interested, asking the Government
to enforce restrictions or prohibitions on those
nations who do not give them full and com
plete reciprocity, and, if that fails, they must
thunder at the doors of Parliament.

BoDY WASHED ASHORE "Wednesday afternoon

of a man had been discovered on sandy beach,
almost in the water of Lake Erie, about quarter
of a mile below the old river bed. Standing on
the bank above, the Coroner could see the body,
but 1t was quite another task TO reach it. This
was however, accomplished after many iruitless
and perilous attempts, and then it was found that
the body, which could not be identified by the iea
