A CALIFORNIA YARN.-They tell some
hard yarns iu California, the effect of the
climate, most probably. Here is the lat
est from the Golden State, aud vouched
for by newspaper:
They tell story of the depth of the
snow on the Sierra Nevada mountains in
February and March, by describing the
visit of merchant named Adams from
the valley to the mining town of Meadow
Lake, on the top of the mountains.
He procured a pair of snow shoes, and
took the tracks of some who had gone
over the day before. After some hours
of hard travel he arrived where the town
should be, and not house was visible.
While he was looking around, man sud-
denly came up out Of the snow, like q
mermaid out of the sea. Adams asked
the man if he could tell him where the
town of Meadow Lake was, not knowing
as yet whether the object before him was
man or q spirit. III
why" said the fellow, "you are right
on the piazza.
Adams asked him if he could show
him where the store of Adams L. Johnson
was. ~.
20 yes come along" rai,
| A few shoves on pair Of snow shoes
soon brought them to round hole in the
snow, and Adams was told that that Nsi
the hole which led to the store. There
were stairs made in the snow like spi
raj way, twisting several times around
the hole in making the descent. Finally
he arrived at the bottom, and was aston
ishcd to find his friends there, happy ana
! gay, and ready to vouch for the country
being one Of the richest ever discovered
From the store they travelled over tn
town through tunnels. :.

ANDREW JOHNSON,
By Che president. William H. Seward,
secretary of state. s

A Sr. LOUIS RoMANoB.-A son Of a
wealthy banker in st. Louis, Charles B.,
became enamored with the daughter of a
shoemaker, poor, but pretty girl. The
father of the son looked with no kindly
feeling on the attachment, but had no idea
that anything serious would grow out of
it. A few days since he sent his hope
full son to the banke to get $4,000 check
cashed The young spirit did this but
put the money in his pocket. and eloping
with the girl, fled to Belleville and was
joined in the bonds Of matrimony by a
Justice of the Peace. The worthy pater-
missing first the money, then the son, pur-
sued the erring couple, and in the most
practical and matter-o fact-way settled
the affair. "Giyc me back the money"
said he, "deducting the expenses you have
already been to in getting this girl, and
come back home and attend to business
and we'll say no more about it,"

LYING IN BED. 1t is often question
among people who are unacquainted With
the anatomy and physiology Of men,
whether lying with head exalted or erect
with the body is most wholesome. Most,
consulting their own ease on this point,
argue in favor Of that which they prefer.i
Now, although'many delight'in bolstering
up their beads at night. and sleep sound
ly without injury, yet we declare it to be
dangerous habit The vessels In which
the blood passes. from the heart to the
head are lessened in their cavities WI en-
the head is resting in bed higher than
the body; therefore, in all diseases atteny
ded with fever. the head should DO pretty
nearly on level with the body ): and
people ought to accustom themselves to-
sleep thus, and avoid danger. Msdica,

THE LACE OF ANsABERG.

About the whole region of Annaberg
there is q vast quantity of beautiful lace
made. No machinery is employed, the
work being done entirely with the hands,
and it is hardly excelled by the famous
manufactures of Belgium aud France.
We went for y walk through the city,
stopping at some of the little cottages
where the women were at work. They
talk and chatter like all women over
their labor, and have little cushions, q
foot long perhaps, containing six thous-
and tiny pins Of steel, and sixty SO called
clappers or wooden needles, each three
inches long With the simple imple-
monts working 50 rapidly that the eye
cannot follow the, motiops of the pins,
they manufacture this beautiful aud deli
cate texture So accustomed are they to
the work. that they fabricate the. finest
and most complicated embroidery without
stopping their laughter or talk, and SEEM
ingly paying no attention to their difficult
work. Such is the competition Of labor
in this overstocked land that twelve hours
of daily toll brings them at the most but
ten cents; apd until they have spent
yaers at the business, and become perfect.
ly skilled in the manipulation Of their in.
finite needles, six cents is good days
earnings. Yet their houses and persons
seemed clean aud neat; they are pleasant
and hospitable, and we did not see any
attempts to force us to patronize them,, nol
to extort the usual triple price which
strangers are generally charged. w
bought several fine collars and a small
lace mantilla for seventy five cents, ant
that price seemed to the good people s.
enormous that we could hardly esoap,
from the houses for their thanks.-Er

CUTTING cORNsRALKs.

, The practice Of catting corn stalks, or
toppin corn. is very common irthis State
and we believe generally in New Eng.
land. There are, however, various opin.
ions in regard to the practice. Isis.sf.
gued, and very reasonably, that it is nat.
ural for Che stalks to grow on the corn
until it ripens.---that the ears Gil better
and that the kernel is sounder with
uncut stalks t#e ~
This is our own experience in climates
sufficiently warm 70 allow the corn to ripen
Or,in seasons when the frost is long delay.
ed, or when an early variety is grown.
The labor of harvesting is diminished BY
leaving the stalks uncut, and If the corn
is cut up atthe right time before the
leaves are dried, the fodder is quite as
good. .N
The only advantage then ,iriAnEtihg The
stalks is the more rapid ripehing Of the
crop. thereby securing it against injury
from tosts/ AS a general practice them;
in this climate. we are compelled to de-
clare in favor of topping the corp. vi
On this subject We copy the follow
ing e, m,;|
While we have no doubt that tho corn
is injured by this practice, we do not hesi..
tate to recommend it, We lose something
in the weight Of kernel, but gain in the
fodder' and materially in managing tSs
harvest; it is worth while perhaps, to 20
a little more particularly into the matter.
The leaves of plants perform two iui.
portant functions; evaporation, which
principally is effected by the lower sur.
face, and by which the water that hds
been absorbed by the roots and absorbens
vessels is carried off in part, leaving the
residue in the form, of concentrated juices;
and second, respiration, by which carbon
ic acid is taken into the circulation OF tho
plant and performs an important port id
the conversion of the proper juices, and in
preparing the nutritious quality of the
fruit. -
This process muGt of course cease when
the parts which perform the Office are de.
stroyed. 1t would seem that such must
be the effect produced by topping corn;
and though the proper process may still
60 on by means of the few leaves tbas
are left below topping yet it will be feeble
and partial, the corn will ripen by evap-
oration merely; or rather, both the evap:
oration and the respiration will be dimin!
ishcd, to the consequent injury
to the grain. which will have less
ofthe nutritious property, and less weight
will be more liable TO ferment, and the
loss more in weight by the end Of wintek
, By the process named, the proper secreti-
) ons, Of the plant are in ripening rapidly
converted in sugar and SO far as the top
t ping checks the respiration, it would also
diminish the saccharine quality and ren-
' the corn less agreeable to the taste, as we'll
, less nutritious. But after having tried
both ways, we incline to the opinion that
the loss is less to top it, than.to suffer the
8 top to stand, and dry up and realize tho
c inconvenience in harvesting D. Far
