CURING TOBACCO.

1t has been custom among tobacco
raisers to heat the tolac by piling it
in heaps as soon as wilted, and letting
it lie for two Or three days, Or until it is
almost black. This is very bad praclice,
as it nearly ruins it. Tobacco should be
wilted by letting it lie awhile after being
cut, and then it should be hung in a dry,
cool place 70 cure. | have tried both
ways and learned the fact from expert.

FRESH AIR FOR CoNsUMpTIvEs. Fresh
air is an indisputable aid IN curing con.
sumption. ut is wonderful" remarks DR..
Hall, show afraid consumptive people are
of fresh air, the very thing that would
cure them, the only obstacle to y cure be-
ing that they do not get enough of it
and yet what infinite pains they take to
avoid breathing it, especially if it is cold,
when it is known til at the colder the air
is the purer it must be; yet if people
can not get to hot climate they will
make an artificial one and imprson them
selves for whole winter in warm room
with temperature not varying ten degrees

out of doors day and night, except it rain

of a farmer who last fall burned his
stubble ground all over, thus destroying
the insects and their eggs, as we'll as ev-
erything on the surface that could harbor
them. The result was that this year he
has not been troubled with chinch bugs

vicinity have suffered severely. Let those

chinch bug region, take the hint, and act
upon it.-Rwat Mew Yorker.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
We have tried the following recipe for
making catsup, and know it to be good
TOMATO CATsUP-0ue gallon of ripe
tomatoes (after being peeled, boiled, and
strained), one pint vinegar, nine table,
spoonsful salt, three tablespoonful of
black pepper, three tablespoonful of mus
tard-seed, ground fine, one teaspoon of
Cayenne pepper, onc-half teaspoon of
cloves, and the same of allspice.
BREAD.--An experienced baker sends.
the following directions to the american
Agricultwist: Wash clean and boil
lbs of potatoes, not peeled; the best part
of the potatoe is near the surface. The
diaStase which surrounds the eye of the
potatoe greatly promotes the fermentation.
Pour the water from the potatoes, and
while hot, mash them up fine and add
sufficient water to make batter about as
thick as for griddlecakes, put in hand
full or two of -four and mix we'll crush
all the Jumps and when the mixture is
about as warm as milk or about 80 9 :,
mix with it few spoonsfuls of yeast, and
cover it with cloth, and keep it med
eratcly warm until morning Then strain
the mixture through corn meal sieve,
and work in about twelve pounds of -four,
or until it is thick enough, and set it in
a warm place to rise. If this plan is fol-
lowed out thoroughly, it will make more
good. light bread that will keep moist
longer, and will be better than with -four
alone.
ANoTHER.-One quart warm water, or
better, ! pint water and pint new milk,
mixed with flour to thick batter. l.2
cup yeast Gas above.) Set at night. In
the morning mix and mould we'll, setting
again to rise. When light, re-mold and
put into pans for baking. If tender crust
is desired, wrap the bread in lowell
wrung out with cold water and this again
in dry lowell, Immediately after taking
out Of the oven. The above will make
two loaves.
II Mock APPLE PIE.-Take one teaspoon
ful OF bread crums, two of water, one and
half of sugar, one teaspoonsful of tar
taric aoid, little salt and cinnamon, OF
, extract of lemon let it boil 5 minutes,
then pour it boiling into pie plates lined
with paste, cover the same, and bake i'm.
medsately.
CHEAP LEMON PIEs-Take one large
lemon, squeeze out the juice, cut the pee
fine; take one teacup of sugar one of mo-
lasses, three of water, one of sfted -four
one egg, stewed sour-apple or pie plant
sweetened, sufficient for one pie; boil thu
} peel till soft then put in the -four after
wctting it with cold water, till it thick
: ems this will make four medium sizec
s pies, to be made with two crusts.
To PICKLE MUSK MELoNs.-Musk mel
ons make very nice, sweet pickle, by
taking them when ripe, and using the sol
; i'd part next to the outer rind. Cut il
slices, or any shape you choose. place il
q preserving pan, and cook slowly, half Of
three quarters of an hour, in strip pro

HooPA VALLEY REsERvATIoN.-As will be seen
by advertisement elsewhere, Austin Wiley, In
dian Superintendent for this State, gives notice
that Hoopa Valley will be set apart for an Indian
Reservation. Mr.. Wiley has made treaty with
all the Indian tribes which have taken part in
the late war upon the whites in this and Hum
boldt counties, and they have complied with the
terms of the treaty by giving up their arms. All
or nearly all the Indians which have proved so
troublesome during the past few years are now
in the Valley. Lieut. Beckwith, of one of the
companies of I" Mountaineers, +" has been tender
ed-the position of Reservation agent, which he
will accept without doubt. He is spoken of as
an excellent man for the position. Mr.. Wiley
writes that very fine firearms have been
received from the Indians.

MILITARY ENcAMPMENr.-A few weeks ago we
spoke of the propriety Of the companies in this
and Shasta counties meeting at some suitable
point for the purpose of holding Military En-
campment on a small scale. The proposition
meets with favor the French Gulch Company
propose, if arrangements can be completed, to
meet the Weaverville and Douglas City Compa-
nies at Lowden's ranch What says the Shasta
Company and the Lassen Rangers, and the Sis
kiyou soldier-boys. We are of opinion that the
occasion might be made very pleasant and in
structve one. Gen. Bidwel and Staff would be
invited to participate, as well as all Companies
comprising this Brigade The Douglas City boys
are in for it, and the Hallecks at their monthly
meeting this friday evening, will take the mat
ter under consideration. Every member is re-
quested to be on hand at u o'clock

TIE LINCOLN FLAG HAULED DowN.-We notice
that the name of Abraham Lincoln as candidate
for President is no longer flying at the head of
the Irish Ne,rs. 1t could not stand the pressure.
A bad candidate and bad cause threatened to
swamp the concern. We expect soon to see
other loyal newspapers follow this example,
AarysvilIs Express.
The Express is slightly mistaken. 1t was no,
the bad candidate and bad cause" which
caused the Lincoln flag to be hauled down. A
San Francisco friend who is familiar with all
the facts asserts that the 'pullng down :" was
occasioned by O'Byrne's collding with Demo
cratic female in one of the rooms of the Govern
mcnt House.

OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN IN TEHAMA.--A

ever listened to in that place. The writer says
the cause is in Tehama.

The CHICAGO CoNvESTIoS.-We publish all the
proceedings Of that body which could be had up
to the time of going to press The Democra-
cy" of California will no doubt be grati6ed to
learn that Ex-Governor Bigler, of this State, was
honored with the position of temporary chair
man, and that McDougall our 't drunken Sena-
tor" was ut his post. Some of the resolutions
offered are of refreshing character, certainly.
For body of men who have since the CON-
mencement of the war opposed the Administra-
tion, and who have, more than the rebels them
selves, aided in proonging it, to request cessa-
ton of hostilities on the part of the Federal
armies, is certainly the most impudent sugges-
ton on record. That, and the proposition to
send a committee to Washington to ask the
President that an armistice be granted until af
ter the result of the Presidential election is
known, are ideas worthy of latter-day Democ-
racy. The I" "incorruptible patriots" would have
the Federal soldiers lay down their arms for sixty
days they would have Grant surrender the
Weldon Railroad to Lee, and Farragut withdraw
his feet from Mobile bay, in order that the rebels
might have an opportunity to re-cuperate and
re-organize. We consider the proposition the
most ridiculous one ever broachcd, even by
treason sympathizers.
We are anxious to know how the brave sol
diers under Grant, who have fought their way to
the very threshold of the rebel Capital, favor
the proposition. And it must certainly be graft.
flying to them to read the proposition of the Ohio
Copperhead, Morgan, that delegates from seeded
States be admitted to Convention, Candidly
we hope that if the proposed committee go to
Washington the President will kick every
mothers son of them out of the White House
We are as anxious to see the end of this struggle
as anybody. But do the internal hypocrites who
make this request come authorized to do so by
the rebel authorities? Shall Federal arms be
laid down only that rebels may be benefited
In all the proceedings of the Convention that we
have seen there appears no indication that the
rebels are anxious for peace, further than theiI
oft-expressed desire to be "let alone"
We canddly believe that the Chicago Conven-
tion was to great extent composed of abaa.
doned traitors, more deserving of the halter
than JEFF. Davis or his co-workers. Mcclellan was
nominated, bnt he will never be elected.

Movement for Change OF Currency In ths
Atlantic States.


Tho following from the New York Herald will
serve to show the views Of business men at the
East in regard to currency matters they now
exist there. We hear much from certain theo-
rists Of the convenience of paper currency and
prosperity which it brings with it-abundance of
money, high values, low interest and the like
The extract from the Herald tells its own story
movement is on foot among the business
men of New York to simplify their transactions
by trading on the standard of gold and silver
that is, to buy and sell their goods exclusively
for coin to receive nothing as money but what
comes from the mint in return for their wares,
and to meet all their ordinary obligations, even
to the paying of their clerks, workmen and ser
wants. with the same description of currency
1t may be considered by some that it is yet too
early to inaugurate such policy, but we think
that none will deny. if we continue in our pres
| ent course, that the day is not far distant when
circumstances will arise that will force US to
adopt some measure similar to the proposed.
The plan would be by no means new, although
it would be novel to the present generation, and
when once established it could be made TO oper
ate as easily here it does in California, Oregon
and in the Territories of the far West. 1t was
done in this country during the progress of the
Revolutionary war, when the continental curren-
cy deprecated to the standard of rags and it
was done in France in the time of the first Revo-
luton, when the assignats of that country sunk
to worthless tender. 1t would also have been
done in England had not the most strenuous eff
forts been employed by the government regard
less of consequences, between 1911 and 1916,
to save the Bank Of England notes from the
paper mills.
The following table shows the depreciation of
the currency during the three years from the
commencement Of Iii to the close of 1879, and
the decline Of Treasury notes from 1862 to the
present day:
