RELATIVES OF OLIVER GoLDsMITH.-Oli-
yer Goldsmith did not marry, and left no de-
scendants but the families Of his brothers,
Henry and Charles are very extensive. The
nearest surviving relative of Oliver Gold
smith, his niece, the daughter of Charles Gold
smith, has been living for twenty years
in the United States, generally in New York
or its vicinity. This lady has seen great re-
verses. Charles Goldsmith lived for many
years in the island of Jamaica, and his chill
dren, with one exception, were born there
his daughter married one Of the weathiest
men in that then prosperous island, but he met
with great losses, and at his death his family
were left in reduced circumstances. Mrs.
Hanscom came to the United States in 1881,
and during most Of that time has been depend
ent on the exertions Of feeble daughter, not
reared to toll, for support she was still more
so by the death of her only son, the Rev. j.
II. Hanson, in 1854 who was the author of the
articles in Putnam's Magazine, which caused
such stir at the time Have we a Bourbon
among us, and afterwards of work on the
same subiect-"The Lost Prince" Mrs. III.
published a volume OF poems in England, and
contributed in prose and poetry to the columns
of the Churchman and other papers. Mrs. H.
is now in her 73d year. Her son left four
children, boy and three girls Her brother,

children, who all have now large families.
; The descendants of Henry Goldsmith, elder
brother of Oliver, and from whose character
he drew the Country Clergyman" are also
veIy numerous. One of his grandsons died,
leaving nine children. Two others are living
-one the father of large family in Nova
Scotia the other, Oliver Goldsmith, author of
the "Rising Village" and other poems, is liv
ing unmarried in Liverpool, England, with
maiden sister. He is &C years old Another
brother, Hugh Goldsmith, had ole daughter.
She was engaged TO nobeman in England,
who was killed by fall on his way to the
marriage. She was afterwards united to the
Rev. James West, and her unhappy death,
which occurred at Washington some years
ago, may be remembered by few.

sachusetts. But neither of these blasphemers
have carried their argument to its legitimate
conclusion, viz THAT the Savior's silence, if
it means anything, means that it is right to
enslave ,cLiite men, not negroes. The Ethiopian
of the New Testament, whose conduct is COM
mended, is represented as close student, rid
ing in his chariot and reading the Scriptures.
The Ethopians of our day, down south, are,
to most barbarous extent, precluded from
reading the Scriptures, or anything else.-At

The Sheep and Wool Business.

We clip the following astonishing statement
from the last number of the Santa Cruz Sen
hnel. The information is obtained from the
Report Of the County Assessor Of Monterey
County: "The wool clip of this county
amounts to about eight hundred and seventy
thousand pounds, generally of a superior
quality. | think hazard nothing in saying
that this county possesses superior advania-
ges over any other in the State for sheep
raising; in fact sheep are fast becoming IA
voriles with our people, the climate and feed
being so we'll suited to the growth Of both
wool and mutton-the former rather improv
inc than deleriorating, both in quantity and
quality. The increase on imported sheep, AS
u general thing, grow much larger than the
parent stock, even in localities near the sea
coast where the heavy fogs prevail which are
somewhat detrimental to their growth; but
in more favorable localities their improve
ment IS surprising. In carefully attended
nocks Of ewes, the increase is from ninety to
one hundred per cent, annually. Very little
if any disease has attended the sheep in
this county the hills afording pasture for
time the valley lands are dried up, keeping
the hocks in a healthy condition. 1t may
not be out of place to mention here some ex-
traordinary yields Of wool in what would be
considered favorable locality: six sheep,
weighing in the aggregate, 1912 pounds,
produced one fleece each, the aggregate
weight of which was one hundre and thir-
ty-two and a quarter pounds. The largest
fleece that has yet been produced in this
county weighed fortytwo and q half pounds,
of superior Merino."

Here is family, one Of thousands of fa-
miles in New England in similar crcum-
stances where one daughter thinks it a
very good place where she can get seventy
five cents week; another has not earned
half dollar during the winter, and all are
"very poor;" yet the son and brother goes off

poor, have evidently the most aifectionate

Hop Culture.

A gentleman Of Sacramento, for whose
verarily the Bee is willing to vouch, sends
that paper the following on hop cultivation
in California. 1t is worthy the consdera
ton of farmers:
A friend of mine, two years ago, with no
experience and very little knowledge Of the
hop culture, planted out one,third of an
acre of hop cuttings, for which he paid, as
he then thought, an eXtravagant price,
This season he has gathered and sold 3S4
pounds of hops, at 62 cents per pound
making the proceeds from sale Of hops $240.
The cuttings from this patch are worth, this
season, 5000 more, only part Of which are
yet sold, making quite snug little sum from
oneihird Of an acre.
And now for the expense of culture
The whole expense of cuttings, planting,
cultivation, picking, drying and marketing,
has not exceeded 800. This little planta
ton is just now in good condition for pro
ducing and will last twenty years or more.

Vanderbilt and the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company

The New York Herald of the lst of De-
cember, gives the following account of the
breaking off of the negotiations between
Vanderbilt and the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, for the purchase of the line of
steamers of the latter:
1t was announced this morning that the
negotiations between Commodore Wander
bilt and the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany were broken off, The Commodore de
sired guarantees from the individual direc
tors of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
against the renewals of competitions; this Mr..
Aspnwal and his associates refused to give.
Another application of the Commodore for
discriminating charges in his favor on the
Panama Railroad, in the event of an opposi-
tion line being established, was likewise re-
fused. On this Mr.. Vanderbilt's representa-
tives witt fdrew the offer to purchase, and
thus, for the present the negotiations ended
1t seems singular, to use the midest term,
that the directors Of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company should have expected to close
the bargain with Mr. Vanderbilt without
giving him guarantees against opposition.-
lie guaranteed them against opposition un-
der the old arrangement, and a guarantee
clause of the kind is usual in deeds where a
line of steamers or vessels is purchased.-
Without such guarantee, IN fact, Mr.. Van
derbilt would have made the worst of bar
gains in giving $4,000, 900 for seven old
steamships, not worth, at most, over a mil
lion. In ordinary cases, it is the vendor who
guarantees his purchaser against opposition;
in this case the vendor was the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company which was going into
liquidation and out of existence on .he con
summation Of the bargain; the guarantee
wa, therefore, naturally sought from the in
dividua directors, from whom alone oppo-
sition was to be expected. In refusing to
grant this, the leading directors of the Pa
cific Mail Company have laid themselves
open to the charge Of having meant nothing
serious in the late negotiations.
We should be glad to know that this
charge was unjust; but, on the face of it, it
is plausible. and ii is likely to be generally
entertained by the public, especially by that
unfortunate portion of them, who bought
Pacific Mail stock at 90 to 93 cents, ON the
strength of assurances by the highly respec
table Pacific Mail directors to the effect that
the difficulty with Commodore Vanderbilt
was adjusted.
The stock opened this morning at S4, de-
clned to so "a at the close of the first
board, rallied to 80 | 4 between the boards,
in the afternoon fell off again, and closed at
80 bid. The recovery in the middle Of the
day was due TO a rumor that the negotia
tions would be renewed

CoNDtNsED CIDER.-The Messrs. Borden,

more paaable. The condensed article
