HEAR HIM TALK Harry Mghel-. of the Carson
appeal, was the political editor of the SAP Fran
cisco Times during most of the campaign preced-
ing the September election. He is back upon
his appeal. In his Issue of October 23d ,Ae has a
reference th the California Judicial election and in
this article he says:
The mean injustice. sniveling pusillanmty
which made Gorhams defeat possibility, is enongh
to send any organization to Coventry. Indeed a
party which has no more predOminating manhood
Than to snfer itself to be whipped and scourged in
TO su,kv flthleSSneSs by such gibheins terma gants
as the Buhetin and Onion. deserves TO fall prey
To It's enemies 1t merits the perdition to which it
seems doomed.
John Currey and SWEET belong to the goody

Gorham was making a brave> and manly canvass
as ever was made in California. both these men
were sneakine around the Bulletin and Union
offices and ci ming in with their devili>h abuse.

with tide land swindles; they didn help keep the

thanked tIed that they were not other men, not
even as this Gorham and were asses enough to
suppose that they could rely for he election upon
the highly respectable fumplechookS who pre-
vented poor Pip from coming into his fortune. We

Mr. GEMS RAILwAY.-The rev principle of the
Mont Gents Railway is thus briefly explained to
those who are not scientific and not initiated al
ready into the mystery: The new principle. ike
all other great ones is simple central rail. like
stair banster, is placed on strong supports four
teen inches above the other rails. The engine is
provided with four horizontally placed wheels.
which are connected with the cylinders. and may
be made to bite y the center rail. These wheels
are clear on level ground but when an ascent or
descent is reached they are screwed down andicatch
the center rail- and off me locomotive goes. up
down plane slopea Ike house roof. By the end
of this month sSeptember) passenger traint will be
climbing the Alps every day and looking down on
the world from hight of nearly 7000.feet. Mean
time the tunnelers are busy boring the mountain
below, and quiet people who visit Italy will. ere
long. have the alternative of an erial or subterra

CAllFoRSIA CASTOR OIL.-The castor oil bean
crop having yielded extremely well this year, and
the beans having been sent to market, the mana
gers of the San Francisco Oil Mill have purchased
the entire crop. and are now engaged in manufact-
uring large quantities of colG-dresSed castor OIL
which is pronounced by those who are capable
judges to be far superior to any imported article
One of the leading drug houses has. we understand
contracted for the first thousand gallons which
NAV be produced. In this connection may state
that we were shown some oil made from mustard
seed at these mills which for table use is far supe
rior to any olive oil that can be obtained in the
market. 1t has pleasant taste, does not become
rancid nor CONCEAL in cold weather. And, after
the oil has been extracted the seed is better for ia
bic use because it does not spoil quickly that
made from seed in which the oil still remains.

A WHALE SToRY.-On the 18th of November.
1856, near one of the Galapagos Islands, toggle
whale iron was thrown from one of the boats of the
ship Catawba, commanded by Captain Obed Swain.
into a sperm whale. After holding some eight
hoars the line parted. and the leviathan made of.
A year ago, Captain Otis F. Hamblen, of bark
Platina, of Westport, struck the same whale about
ninety miles from the place where il was struck
eleven wears before. The whale was identified by
finding in the body the head of the iron, marked
. Catawba' and which, when brought home, is re-
cognized by Captain Swain. The shank of the
iron projecting out of the blnbber of the whale was
worn intirey off by the constant attrition OF the
water but the part beneath the skin was perfect
as when thrown from the hand of the harpooner.
The whale had not suffered materially from the
dose. as it yielded ll0 barrels oi oil.-Nantucket

THs VALLEJO RAILRoAp.-The Vallejo Recorder
says Of the Vallejo Railroad A small force is
still st work on the road. Two eargoes of iron
and six locomotives are at hand. Ties are corded

the way from the East. Active operations may
commence any day. The road will be pushed on
from Putah Creek to Woodland. Knights Landing
and Marysville. Il must be borne in mind that the
Vallejo road is being built with private capital
Railroads are costly enterprises II the work
moves slowly, the company themselves are the only
losers. Time is money to them. and they will moi
waste either. As an evidence that the road will be
built we remark that the friends of the enterprise
are investing largely in real estate in Vallejo and
along the line of the road. The road Isl necessity

and do not disgust the managers of the concern BY
