CALIroRNIA.-Few people have an idea
of the extent of California. The State is
700 miles long, by 200 wide. San Fran
cisco and Sacramento together have pop
ulation of about 10000, leaving about
800, 900 population for this area Of coun-
try-as large as all New England and
New York and Pennsylvania together
an area large enough and rich enough to
sust; in populat on of 35,0OO,O 600. 1t
would make large European kingdom.
The State will have l3, 900, 600 bushels OF
wheat to spare, which will bring in from
$4,000, 900 to $4,000. 900. The wool
clip is larger than ever before. The vint-
a-e promise to be the best ever gathered !;
$4,000, ,OOO grape vines are in bearing, and
new vineyards are the order of the day.
The State has just begun its network Of
railroads, soon to be connected by the
long spider thread across the continent.
The developement of the State promises
to be more rapid during the coming months
than ever before.

WHY DoN'r He Do Ir.-When farmer
knows that the winter season is the time
to prepare bar. posts and repair all kinds
of farming tools-why don't he do it?
When a farmer knows that wagons and
sleighs, and other carriages will last
great deal longer when properly housed
why don't he do it?
When farmer knows that cows will do
better on less quantity of feed, if prop
erly stabbed through the winter-why
don't he do it?
When farmer sees the boards dropping
from his stables, barns and out-buildings,
and knows that it would take only few
minutes to nail them on again-why don't
he do it?
When farmer knows that a good part
of his farm would be much improved by
plowing it in narrow lands, thus giving it
chance to drain-why don't he do it?
When farmer knows that most Of his
plow land would be greatly improved by
sowing clover-why don't he do it?

A HUNDRED YEARS IN PRIsoN.-A Ger
tain honse breaker was condemned, in the
latter part of the last century, in France,
and under peculiar circumstances, to a
hundred years in the galleys, and strange
to relate, this man recently made his APP
pearance in his own native province, at
the advanced age of l2O years, he being
about twenty years Of age when the SEN
tence which condemned him to such a
dreadful punishment was passed. 1t is
difficult to conceive what the feeling must
have been with which he returned, as
soon as emancipated from the shackles
which had enthralled him for century,
to breathe once more the cherished air of
the scenes of his infancy. Bourg, in the
department of Ain, was his native home,
but time had so changed the aspect Of the
whole, that he recognized it only by the
Church of Brou, which was the only thing
that had undergone no alteration. He
had triulnphed over laws, bondage, man,
time, everything. Not a relation had he
left. Not single being could he hail in
acquaintance; yet he was not without ex-
periencing the homage and the respect the
French pay old age. For himself he had
forgotten everything connected with his
early youth even all recollection of the
crime for which he had suffered was lost,
or, if at all remembered; it was dreary
vision, confounded with thousand other
dreary visions Of days long gone by. His
family and connections, for several gen.
erations, all dead, himself living proof
of the clemency of Heaven and the severi.
ty Of man, regretting, perhaps, the very
irons which had been familiar to him, and
half wishing himself again among the
wretched and suffering beings with whom
his fate had been so long associated.
Well might he be called the patriarch Of
burglars.

A SxALL-Pox RExEDY.-A correspon-
dent of the Stockton, California, Herald,
writes as follows:
II herewith append receipt which has
been used, to my knowledge, in hundreds
of cases. 1t will prevent or cure the
smallpox, though the pittings are filing.
When Jenner discovered cow.pox in Eng
land, the world of science hurled an ava
lanch of fame upon his head; but when
the most scientific school of medicine in
the world--that of Paris-published this
receipt as panacea for smallpox it pass
ed unhee1ed. 1t is as unfailiEg rs fate,
and conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by well person.
1t Till also cure scarlet fever. Here is
the receipt as l have used it, and cured my
children of scarlet fever; here it is as /
used it to cure the smallpox. When learn
ed physicians said the patient must die, it
cured: 'Sulphate of zinc, one grain fox
glove (digitalis,) one grain; half teaspoon
full sugar; mix with two tablespoonfuls of
water. When thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces of water. Take a spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For child, smaller doses,
according to age.'-If counties would COM
pei their physicians to use this, there
would be no need of pesthouses. If you
value advice and experience, use this re-
cipe for that terrible disease"
