The first G .lifornia wheat brought in
any considerable quantity to Philadel-

were reluctant to take hold OF. The

the burr-stones set for Pennsylvania and
Ohio wheat, failed to reduce it to the
condition essential to the production OF
super6ne aour. One firm Of Philadel.
phia m,llers, celebrated for making
superior article Of family hour, had US
ed small lot Of it SIX or seven years
previous, and understood the nature OF
the grain and the manner Of grinding
it, and also knew how handsome al ar
ticle of -four could be made from It,
They at once bought heavily, and the
-four made from that wheat became
celebrated throughout the city. Their
success caused others to try the wheat,
which is now looked on as indispensa-
bic for making superior -four. 1t is q
curious circumstance that every one
who has been in the habit Of eating the
bread made from it cannot With any
satisfaction relish bread made from any
other kind Of wheat. The bread has
. peculiar rich golden white hue, is
moist in its nature, aud with such rich.
ness of flavor that it is difficult to
persuade these who eat it that sugar
has not been used in making up the
bread.
When this wheat first arrived here
the Eastern ports were so bare OF good
white wheat, and even good winter red,
that it was impossible for our fancy
millers to make superior barrel Of
-four. Prime red wheat cannot be had,
and white wheat is equally scarce, and
no miller, unless he uses California
wheat, can turn out an article so satisfac-
tory as that in which there is an admix-
ture ofthe California product. At first
it was so difficult to find any miller who
could properly grind this, that the offer
ofan intelligent Jersey miller to under
take the task was gratefully accepted.
Messe1s. Detweiler & Hartranft, of the
Quaker City Mills, in Kensirgton, took
it up, and since then have ground no
other grain. A cargo Of 10000 bush

Thomas, who is now making the whole

From the Mercer (Pennsylvana) Dispatch.
An Extraordinary Man.

One of the most extraordinary cases
OF peculiar formation in the human body
we witnessed a few days since at Cons
nelly's Hotel, Mercer, in the person of
q colored man; a stranger 1t is hardly
correct, perhaps, to call it case of NAL
formation, as the phenomena were en-
:irely internal, the man presenting no
unusual appearance whatever. The per-
son, by some inward muscular power,
which he cannot explain, can shift the
position of his heart at will. We went
to see him, not believing more than half
that we had been told, but were col-
vinced in less time than it takes to write
it. He requested Us to satisfy ourselves
that his heart was in the position usual
ly occupied by that organ. Placing our
hand on his breast we could feel its
beating distinctly. Hethen commenced
series of contOrtions with his abdomen,
rolling it over and over several times.
At the conclusion of this startling exhib-
ition, we placed our hand upon a lump
in his left side below his waist, and
there was the heart humping away as if
nothing unusual was the matter. A few
more contortions and the risky organ
passed across the abdomen, and on the
right side kept up its work Of throwing
the blood through the system as regu-
larry as if in its natural position. More
contortlons and it travelled back home,
its course being easily traced under the
skin till it passed under the ribs. The
man then commenced sort of rotary
motion of the bowels, apparently turn
ing them over several times, when we
felt q complete set Of ribs covering the
abomen, the regular set being in their
usual place. Turning the bowels in the
opposite direction tho false ribs disap-
peared. On being asked if his parents
had any more children. like him, he re
piled that he had brother over six feet
high, who could reduce to something
less than three. feet We believed him
readily, alter having Witnessed the
above performance.

To Kill the Peach Borer.

The use Of boiling water as remedy
for the borer is not new, but has not
been generally practieed, because many
have considered it too much trouble to
apply, willie others feared it's effects up
on their trees. OF those who have tried
it successfully is Mr.. Isaac G.. Mark, of
Moorfield, West Virginia. He writes to
the Country Gentleman as follows:
There is handy means for the de-
struction of this heretofore fatal enemy
to the peach tree, which is practiced
herc-which has proved certain, beyond
peradventure. It is simple, of easy ap>
plication, and expeditions. 1t consists
of the use of boiling soafer applied to the
collar of the tree, in quantities varying
according to the age of the tree-in
small trees, say one inch in diam eter,
half pint is sufficient, and pint IS
enough for larger ones. Remove the
earth from around the tree few inches
from the body and a few inches in depth,
and just pour the water boiling hot on
the exposed roots, and it will kill every
egg, as we'll as worm, with positive GER
tainty. It has been tried here time and
again upon trees that have been more
than half killed, and perfect restora-
ton has been the result in every case.
No danger need be apprehended from
the effects of the hot water upon the
trees, unless large quantity is applied
to a very small tree. When a large
number Of trees have to be operated up
on. u fro should be made in the orchard
for heating the water SO that ii can be
applied boiling hot. Considering the
Importance of this remedy to peach
growers who may not have heard Of it,

How 10 Tesi the length Of Your Life

Last evening, DIR. T. S. Lambert lee
tured before q large audience in Stein
way Hall upon Longevity and Brevevi
ty.' the latter word being rather unlaw
fully coined by him "a authentic to the
former. The DIR. maintained that the
age to which any man could arrive, even
with the utmost care, was determined
within narrow limits by that to which
his ancestors have arrived. He treated
vitality throughout as cumulative
force. Each person Inherited certain
amount which was spent in certain
time, and this time might be short, al
though health was good and strength
great. The natural period of life, how
ever, could, of course, be shortened by
inattention to laws Of life. He claimed
furthermore. that there were personal
indications by which one could deter
mine whether he was long lived or short
lived. in the absence Of knowledge Of
his inheritance in that respect or as con-
firmatory OF such knowledge These in
dications he did not consider to be as
well ascertained land defined as they
might be and would be-the science was
as Jet in its infancy-but from obser-
vations in thousands of cases he had
discovered portion of them.
Indications Of longevity were to be
found in depth Of brain between the eye
brows and the opening of the ear, in a
long, oval face, in a large nose, in hazel
eyes. in q long body relatively to the
limbs. in moderately dropping shoulders
and moderatively long necks .Brevev-
ity' in shallowness of the brain in the
region mentioned, in limbs dispropor-
tionately long to the body, in too long
and too short o neck, and in a peculiar
light blue circle to be seen around the
pupil of the eye. Tie audience was ev-
identity much interested in the theories
of the lecturer. e t

Preparation Of WhiteWash.

Whitewash is one Of the most valuable
articles in the world when properly APP
piled. It not only prevents the decay
of wood, but conduces greatly to the
healthfulness of all buildings, whether
of wood or stone. Out buildings and
fences, when not painted, should be sup
piled once or twice a year with a good
coat of whitewash, which should be pre-.
pared in the following way
Take q clean water tight barrel of
other suitable cask, and put into it half
bushe1 of lime. Stake it by pouring
water over it boiling hot, and in suffic-
lent quantity to cover it five inches deep,
and stir it briskly till thoroughly slaked.
When the shaking has been thoroughly
effected, dissolve it in water, and add
two pounds of sulphate of zinc and one
of common salt; these will cause the
wash to harden, and prevent its crack
ing, which gives an unseemly appear
ance to the work. sa
If desirable, beautiful cream color
may be communicated to the above
wash, by adding three pounds Of yellow
ochre or good pearl or lead color by
the addition of lamp, vine, or ivory
black. For fawn color, add four pounds
of lumber, Turkish or American-the
latter is the cheapest-one pound of In
dian red, one pound OF common lamp
black. For common stone color, add
four pounds of raw umber and two
pounds of lamp black. This wash may
be applied with common whitewash
brush, and will be found much superior
both in appearance and durability to the
common whitewash.-f journal of Chem
