PRIsrERs AND PRINTING IN FRANcx.-
There in France 900 typographical print
ors, 800 photographic ones, and in Paris
alone there are no fewer than 1873 copper
plate printers. The number Of works
published last year in that country, in
GLIDING reprints Of old books, was
1883. In the lapse Of one year, works
bearing on literature, science, COM
mercs, agriculture, voyages, vocal and
instrumental music, now represent, on
an average, four millions Of dollars in
the total expectation Of France alone,
and call for $500 tons of paper. Among
the most noteworthy improvements in
troduced in the printing and bookselling
trades since the last great Exhibition,
must be mentioned the variety as well
as clsarness of the type employed, the
progress realized in ~stereotyping by
means of the galvapo-plastic process,
and above all, the cheapness Of the i'm
prs%ssions by the introduction Of i'm
proved printing presses driven by steam,
It is not to DO doubted, however, that
America comes fully up to it if it does
not go beyond France in all that apper-
tains to the printers art.

The English are at their old tricks Of
blockade-running. The London Ezprsss
states that not long ago a gentleman
connected with the management of Crete
affairs in London went to Liverpool and
purchased two Of che fastest blockade
runners that were ever constructed on
the Mersey. These steamers were built
especially for running the blockade
from Nassau, &C., to some of the South
ern ports, but the close Of the civil war
in America left Thorn on tho hands Of
their owners until they were purchased
for a trade for which they were original
ly intended. These vessels are con-
structed of iron, and have q good carry
ing capacity, combined with q light
draught of water. They are propelled
by paddles, and their speed is Of such q
character that the Turkish feet will
have hot work of it when the blockade
running between syria and the coast OF
Crete commences in reality. Both of
these new blockade-runners will leave
the Mersey for Syria fully equipped and
manned for the work for which they are
20 well adapted.

TURKEY once in a while shows a spark
of vitality. Great surprise has been
occasioned there among the foreign
residents by the recent production Of
three works, translations from English
and French, which arc offered to the
Turkish youth for their instruction. A
Constantinople letter says These
books will mark an era in the history
of Turkey, and their appearance 10 made
only the moro remarkable, by the fact
that they are the work of native Otto
mans, men who hsve received no assist.
.nce, no encouragement from the gov
srnment, or suggestions from foreigners,
and who, in addition, have to meet a
strong current Of opposition from their
own countrymsn."

P%ERENPToRILY DECLINES. Bidwell,
under date of July Gath, writes to G.. N.
Swszey, ofMarysvills, emphatically de-
clining to be a candidate for Governor.
There is no getting round his decisive
terms. He says:
"Some ask me to give an expression
Of sentiment, if consistent WIKI my
views, favorable to a united effort in
behalf Of tae Union State ticket. an
swer, it certainly is consistent with my
views, and l proceed to do so: Having
been a candidate before one Convention,
1 desire to say to those friends who ad-
hered to me during the struggle for the
nomination, and who lsbored earnestly
for and were favorable to my nomina-
ton, and 10 an others, that feel pro-
foundly grateful to them, but that
cannot consent to enter the field again
and attempt to make the race for Gov
ernor. To do so would be tantamount
to giving direct aid to the ~so-called
Democratic party, the success of which
at this juncture Of affairs would be a
calamity both to the State and Nation,
and ought not to be thought Of by any
loyal man."

THERE il great rspidity Of thought in
dreaming. A scientific writer says that
a very remarkable circumstance, and an
important point of analogy, is to be
found in the extreme rapidity with which
the mental operations are performed, or
rather with which the material changes
on which the ideas depend, are excited
in the brain. It would appear as If q
whole series of acts that would really
occupy q long lapse of time, pass ideally
through tho mind in n instant. We
have in dreams no true perception Of
the lapse of tims-a strange property Of
mind for IL such be also its property
when entered into the eternal diSem-
bodied state, time will appear to Us

GOLD MINES ON THE SWEET.
WATER TRIBUTARIES.

The Salt Lake Hedstte, Of last We'd
nesday, has reliable news of the
character, extent and richness of the
new gold discoveries on the heads Of
Strawberry and Willow Greeks, near
the South Pass. 1t says that now it
knows definitely whereof it speaks.
"Our information has been derived
from men with whom w were scqusint-
ed in Idaho, and elsewhere; who would
not "scare' at a two bit prospect; who
can tell the difference between a piece
Of quartz rock and q burnt brick; and
who can take in the "lay" Of q country
at one view, as we'll as some other peo-
pie. We know our informants well,
know they are not given to Aunchaus-
sen romancing, and would not be apt to
say anything about the new mines that
they did not sincerely believe" So
says the Nedehs.
According to the statements OF these
endorsed reliables, the existence OF
numerous gold-bearing quartz lodges
on the north side Of the Sweetwater, is
a demonstrated fact. The discovery
claims Of Lewis Robinson, Terry and
that company, are exceedingly rich, SO
far-as developed. With ordinary hand
mortars, selected rock was being pound
ed out at a yield of from S26 to $40 a
day to the mortar, and even as high as
500. In the Wind River country the
surface indications are good. But the
Indians are numerous and hostile, and
"command the situation" The coun-
try is slate, so far as known, with plenty
of water, and a delightful climate.
ave have seen a great many specimens
of the quartz rock, and they are exceed
ingly rich in gold. Parties also found
silver quartz, and copper veins in the
same range. The curse Of the lodges
is northeast and southwest, and look to
be we'll defined"

COLONEL Moss, a {" southern loyalist "

very Standard to persuade the colorsd
voters Of the country to demand that
John N. Lsngston Of Oberlin, or some
other prominent colored man, shall be
placed on the Republican national ticket
as candidate for vice president, and to
threaten that unless this 10 done they
will not vote With the Republicans.
Col. Moss tells the colored voters that
the decision of the presidential contest
is in their hands, and that the Republic
cans will not dare refuse anything thsy
may demand ; indeed, he is confident
that if they shall insist upon Wendell
Phillips for president and John NJ. Lang
ston for vice president, the Republican
party will adopt the ticket and it will
be elected.

Gorham on "Ths Hirelins Press against

The following emarks are from Co..

Gorham ON "TheH ireling Press against

The following remarks are from COL
hams Placervills speech:
"Besides a Governor, they wanted
representatives y speak for them at the
capital Of the Sates He would say q
word for these representatives and for
himself. They must all meet somewhere.
The people couh not huddle in q field
and make laws, and 1t could only Dc

suit to the Candidates, but it was o
greater insult 10 those who elected
their representative from those canai-
dates, to say that as soon as a man Is
elected to the Legislature he becomes a
rogue. It was'an insult to'the people
of California that the Legislature could
not meet in session q week a
hardly the most ordinary law could DO

rogues and bliok-mailers, and eve
peremptory orders being issued to the
electors Of California to drive some Of
these men from public life, as If they
had been proved guilty Of the blacklist
political offensei. He was impatient OF
these things, and denounced them from
that stand as on insult to the people
whose representatives were thus at
tackled.
"In many Of these cases it was sim
ply q question of veracity, between
members of the Legislature and mem
bers of the press. He had been a news
paper man himself, and did not wish
personally to offend any newspaper man
who might be within hearing Of his
voice. But the members of the Legisla-
ture, chose by the people because they
were known to be men Of probity and
character, were at least as worthy Of

BIDwrLL is still the candidate Of the
Sacramento Union, as will a~ppear-from
the following from that paper of Sstur-
days issue.
We have never asked Bidwell's assent
to his nomination. The Convention
did not ask it. He had assured us all
that if the people of California wanted
to make him Governor, and would give
him the Office without the necessity of
his dishonoring himself by bargain and
sale, he would accept it. The people
did so nominate him; but they after
wards abused the peoples faith and sold
him out. The people have not so sold
him. They are still for him. He is
their candidate, and no trick Of the
guerrillas can withdraw him from the
canvass.
