A Rich SEcrIoS.-The Stockton Ga.
.eae, in dsscanting on the agricultural
wealth of that portion of tho San Joa-
quin Valley known rs the Paradise
country, says:
As an approximate to the yield, reduced to
hard money, Of the Paradise country, north
and south Of the Tuolumne river, we present
to our readers the following figures, which we
believe to DO within the mark We set down
the whole area OF the district stated, at
100, 900 acres, upon which the crops are now
standing, and We estimate the yield at seven
teen bushels to the acre, which will then sum
up l,700,0 900 bushels. The price to DO paid
when harvested, we estimate on tho ground
at eighty cents per bushel; which will
amount to 81, 360 900. From this deduct,
cost OF harvesting at ten cents, $4,000, and
value OF sacks at six and 4 fourth cents per
bushel, Sl07, 250, leaving 10 producers Sl,-
0S2, $50 nett. Calculating the number Of per-
sons employed 10 this region in cultivation on
their own account, or on the shares with the
proprietors in fee, the sum stated will give to
each SS,665. There 10 not such a showing to
be made elsewhere in the world, we may safe.
" assert. The money to be paid for harvest
ing it 10 also to DO remembered, docs not go
out Of the country, and q great number Of
men and horses will DO probably employed in
the work.

VALLANpiGHAN's REsPoSsE.-A day
or two ago We published the very en-
phatic language used by Col. Halpins
in his newspaper, the Citizen, with ref
erence to his views and the views Of
War Democrats generally, concerning
the nomination of George H. Peudleton
for the Presidency. There was nothing
squivocal in the language used by Miles
0'Reilly. Judge for yourself whether
there is any such thing as mistaking
Psndleton, as he speaks through his
semi-oficial mouthpiece, G. L. Vallan-
digham, as expressed in the following
We say to War Democrats Of the Marble
Halpine school, that they only waste breath,
and paper, and ink, ifthey imagine that their
VOW or their threats, or their oaths, meet
with anything but contempt from the more
than a million Of actual, positive, u%nconyert-
Cd and undeniable peace men. in the W.,st
and border States South. We are Of that
sort oursslf, precisely; and all around in
this valley for fly miles. there il scarcely
any other kind to be found; and in the State
Of Ohio, especially. they number 1870
with nearly 6vo years increse to DO added.

THE oUAKEoMETER.

General Sasaki Gouruk, Of Daimio
Ystsezen's Principally, has been
making some very interesting and, if
true, most important disclosures to the
San Francisco Alta, MS to the japanese
methods of forecnsting earthquakes.
Tho Alta represents the General rs a
scientific, mechanical and military en-
giueer, and mi who has made good use
of his time in studying American indus
tries and inventions. This is the Gen.
erals description Of the Japanese
Quakeometer:
A horseshoe magnet is suspended from a
beam, and q bar Of iron Of about its capacity
to keep in attraction Is attached to the open
ends. Under this, at a short distance, are
two bells, like the thumb.sPring, table bells
we use. This completes the philosophical
instrument. Preceding all earthquakes, and
AZ a necessary condition 10 these phenomena,
there is q marked change in the electric con.
dition Of the air. An unwonted sultriness
and oppressive breathing are its characteris-
tics in this latitude. The Japanese have dis
covered that the magnet suffers a diminution
Of It's power to attract iron in this condition
of the atmosphere, and that it may be a day
or so before the catastrophe follows the warn.
ing. The power Of the magnet is SO nearly
balanced BY the bar Of iron, that on the &C.
currcnce Of sufficient disturbance Of the cleo
trio equilibrium, the iron bar Is set free, and
falling on the spring bells, the alarm is given
to all within hearing, and thence it is com.
municated to the public in season to make
preparation for its reception.
Should experiment demonstrate the
reliability of this apparatus, 1t will not
only be Of great possible practical beno-
6t, but will also give our sapdn' a new
point of departure for the investigation
of the theory Of earthquakes. There is
nothing in any existing European or
American theory that would aceou Mt
for a disturbance Of the electric current
or for any lessening Of the power Of the
magnet. This Japanese instrument may
prove the kcy to the discovery Of the
true origin Of these earthquake disturb

SLEEPING AND X

NV wife had left her home to seek,
The elowI w~orshipped in her cheek,
Like Persian old; my sky had paled;-
A letter every day I maird,
And often said, in cheerful vein,
1.-THE baby slept all night again.
All hallow'd by her tears and prayers
He stayed with me, it lessen'd cares,
n he, the nesting, slept, / knew
NV dove would slumber sweetly too;
And 80 I wrote her now and then
1.-The baby slept all night again."
One morn he languished at my side,
Death.sick, and with the day he died,
And day with him. 1t was my will
That she I loved be happy still,
So wrote l in my wonted strain
"Tho baby slept all night again."
Blu. when, in turn, she fondly wrote,
Her pet names using in her note,
With artless talk about the bed
or him who slept 90 cold and dead,
sat the bitter truth to pen
"He sleeps to wake no moro again."
And when upon my breast she lay,
And sobbed her precious bloom away,
And grief met grief, while OF the dead
we thought, within his narrow bed,
said, and saw 1t ease her pain,
"He wakes to sleep no moro again.

PuUySy.-The Marysville appeal thus

PHUSNy.-The Marysvillc Appeal thus
talks:
To hear such Democrats a. Long Primer
Hall object to General Grant "because he
has always been VIGOROUSLY intsmpcrate, and
up to the present time has shown no dispose
tion to reform" All the Bourbon" Dem
ocrats ought to support General Grant if he
is, as they lyingly charge, a "drunkard."
The Democratic party has but two princi-
pies, "anti-nigger' and "whisky"-and it Is
surprising to all thinking men that the lead
ers should attempt to leap" for their party
among the Sons Of Temperance. That their
charges Of "drunkenness" arc hollow by
%pocrisy, is evident from the fact that these
Democrats are all supporters Of Andrew
johnson, a notorious drunkard. Who ever
heard q Democrat object to Johnson because
he drank whisky? The Democrats who
falsely charge General Grant with drunken
ness manifest very poor judgment. Just as
sure az life, II they satisfy some Democrats
that Grant Is fond Of Democratic whisky
(hns the symptoms II not the diseaIe) they
will lose many votes! When the Copper
head papers become satisfied OF their mis-
take they will raise the cry OF tsetotalism
against him.

GRANT AND THE JEws.-There are, in
the United States, something over n
hundred thousand Jews who are enti-
tied to vote at the next Presidential
election.
1t is confidently claimed by the DEM
ocracy that this mass Of voters a be
relied on to vote agains. General Grant.
For what reasonP
During the war, when every contem-
plated movement Of our armies was
known at Richmond before it was at
Washington, and when the hearts Of
loyal men had grown sick with the de-
ferred hope Of victory to the national
arms, General Grants lines were in
tested by q horde of Jews of the lower
order, who, as the General had every
reason to believe, made the plea Of mer-
chandising an excuse for passing the
Union lines and furnishing the rebels
with ammunition, medicine and infor-
nation, to tho detriment Of our cause.
After several fragrant cases had been
brought to his attention, all traceable
directly to this class of people, General
Grant, rather than resort to the more
arbitrary and cruel course Of shooting
as spies those who were detected,
adopted the safer and more humane
plan Of expelling the whole beyond his
lines by a general order. If they had
oil been New ~Englandors, New Workers
or Penn~sylranians, the same curse
would unquestionably have been pur-
sued, and the loyal masses Of either Of
those States would surely have applau-
ded the act.
Unlike the Democracy, W believe
that the loyal Jews Of the country ap-
plsuded Grants action, and bitterly
condemned the course Of their unwor-
thy fellows. We will not insult this
respectable and patriotic mass of Ameri-
can citizens by crediting for q moment
that they will identify themselves with
the mercenary spies and smugglers of
eontraband goods at whom the order Of
General Grant was aimed.

The high dignitaries Of the Court stand
around with imperturbable gravity, and
a holy father, in clerical robes, raises
his fearful eyes upwards, and joins his
hands In s%upplieation that the ordeal
may be happily passed. OF course, a
c~orn-cutter who has been permitted to
relieve the feet Of an Empress may be
trusted with the bunions Of common
mortals, and cannot be expected to be
satisfied with small fees, either.

Along the road two Irish lads
One Summer day were walking,
And all the while with laugh and shout,
In lively strains were talking
About the fair-about the girls
About who were best at dancing;
While at each pretty face they met,
Their eyes were brightly glancing.
And rs they strobe for many a mile,
They grew in time quite frisky,
And now aud then from lip to lip,
They passed the darling whisky.
At length, before them in the hedge,
The roadside view commanding,
They saw, it's white sides lettered DER,
A milestone lonely standing.
They read and quickly doffed their hats,
With sorrow in their faces;
And then with reverential awe,
They stepped back several PAGES.
