Temperance in California.

Extract of letter from Professional
Gentleman of San Francisco, well known and
formerly resident in Ellsworth
"Some five or six months ago, nineteen
men belonging to the Fire Department were
having one night high old time, as they
had often had before, and towards morning
when all were quite exhausted by liquor and
want OF sleep, one of them suggested to the
rest, that the course which they were pur-
suing must necessarily end IN misery and
disgrace, and they all listened with attention
and the observation took. They all felt the
force Of the remark and one of them snt
down, and drew up short teetotal pledge
of total abstinence. They all signed it, and
they called it the Dasdo,cay Temperance
Association. Tho Society now numbers
fourteen hundred men and by September
will number FIVE thousand in this city and
other parts of he State, will show like in
terest. Almost everything in this country
is wonderful. The amount of liquor con-
sumed in this State is appalling. The liquor
costs the drinkers about ten millions of dol
lars per annum. One hundred millions for
the last ten years
This reformation. which is now gong en-
will be of great advantage to the prosperity
of this State. Industry will be increased
and crimes diminished The State is now
'.in a prosperous condition, and with this
reformation, we shall outstrip the world

Yellow Fever.

The subject of the repeal of all Quaran-
tine laws and regulations in New York, is
advocated by many, DR.. Mott and Francis,
who have been familiar with yellow fever
since 1904, write to the Courier and Enqmr-
or, upon this terrible disease as follows:
We have been more or less familiar with
the Yellow Fever since 1904; and We are too
old-fashioned to yield to theory not estab-
lished beyond the possibility of error, when
the principle it involves, may leopard the
safety of the public health. We will frank
ly ask if any physician approaches a case of
Yellow Fever with the same feeling of per-
sonal Indifference that he does an ordinary
case Of autumnal bilious fever? Is there
not more or less of apprehension or the indie
scribable feeling Of fear of it's influence, let
the opinion of It's origin be indigenous or for
eign? We repeat, Yellow Fever is a spccif-
ic disease of striking characteristics, peculiar
to itself, not grade Of r9mittent fever, and
this view is confirmed by the universally ad-
mtted fact that the temperature OF ice is ia
tai to its progress.
We forbear all verbal or technical contro-
versy on the terms Contagion and Infection.
Acrimony enough. has been already, suifi-
GENTLY displayed in the discussions on the
subject. We prefer to pronounce Yellow Fee
yer communicable disease; or if language
more popular be demanded of US. We shall
use the regular phraseology as still more ex-
plicit - ietiow Ferer isa Catching Disor-
der. We need hardly add, for reasons obyi-
Gus to common apprehension, that this view
of this dreadful pestilence. suggests the
earnest attention of our public rulers to the
adoption of every measure best calculated to
promoteimproved sanitary regulations thro'-
out this muittudinous metropolis: for we are
never to forget that while the affluent NAV
flee the pestilence, the poor are especially
subjected to all its horrors.
Most respectfully your obedient servants.

Foreign or Native Stock.

\ correspondent OF the Maine Farmer
calls in question the wisdom of the Hancock
Agricultural Society in paying double for
travel on foreign stock than for native I'VE
publish what he says below.(
1t does seem, while it is admitted, that
the Durham, lIerefords and Ayrshiers are
only breeds, and have been made what they
are by a long series of skilful breeding
from various kinds of cattle, that we ought
to try,-and have the best encouragement to
do 50. to improve our nativ. stock If the
above enumerated breeds are brought to their
present perfection on their native hills in
Scotland and England, why may not equally
as good stock be MANUFACTURED in Maine, in
time, by the same attention being bestowed
upon the matter? Itso, then by all means
encourage native stock. But we are only
making these remarks, with the hope Of
provoking some Farmer" to give his
views.
Mr.. EDITOR On looking over the col
umns of your paper just at hand DULY LAY,
perceive that the Trustees of the Hancock
Agricultural Society" have offered ten cents
per mile for the travel of imported stock, for
which premiums may be awarded; and fire
cents per mile for the travel of natiue stock
for which premiums may be awarded
Why this difference Is this the proper
way to encourage the rearing Of best stock ?
Does any one presume to say that as good
animals cannot be reared on our own as on
a foreign soil? 1t seems to me to be a
mistaken fancy, that should not be coun-
tenanced by the sturdy yeomanry of New
England. What say you, Mr.. Editor?

The MEMBERS Of THE ZURICH CONFERENCE.
The New York Herald gives the FLOWING
sketches Of the Austrian and French p
resentatives in the Zarich Conference,
called to arrange the terms of peace
1.-The diplomat selected to represent
Austria in the approaching conference, Count
Colloredo, is member of one branch of the
ancient and influential family of Princes of
the Empire. The progcnitors.of the Colore-
do-Mansfeld branch were eminent soldiers,
aud served with great eclat at Lutzen, Culm
and Lepsic. while the branch to which the
present envoy belongs were more famous in
the science of diplomacy.
Baron de Bourqueney is an able diplomat
and has been employed in the service of the
French government for over thirty years -
1t may be interesting to know that he made
his debut in Diplomacy in this country, as
Secretary of the French legation at Wash
ington, and was subsequently Secretary to
Chateaubrian during his embassy to London
Subsequently he was made Minister to
Constantnople, but since 1853 he has
reprepresented the French Emperor at the
Court of Vienna, where he was accredited at
the time the war broke out. lie is thus
well yersed in the affairs of Austria His
relations with Baron Hubner, the Austrian
Minister at Paris, were said to be of such a
close and friendly character that an alliance
with the Baron's daughter was at one time
spoken Of At the Paris Conference Of 1856
Baron de Bourquency acted as the colleague
of Court Walewski, his extensive knowledge
Of Turkish affairs being his best recommends
tion for that post. In politics the Baron is
an Oreanist, and was an able contributor
to the Journal des DeJats, chiefly on subjects
relating t.. foreign politics.
