, DEAR SIR WE ia Ike pleasure in testi-
fving to the merits of the Babcock Fire
Extinguisher, as it has no doubt saved us
many thousand of dollars Our. mill
caught fire upon the roof, on the evening
of the 18th, from a burning chimney.
1t burned a hole through the roof, and
in the worst place to get at in the whole
mill, and when discovered the flames
Were bursting out with great force. The
miller in charge gave the alarm, and COM
menced throwing water from barrels
which we have through the mill, while
the Waterman went for the Babccck,'
which soon arrived, and in three minutes
the fire was entirely extinguished. We
have one Of Fales s. jerks force pumps
attached TO q powerful water wheel,
which throws thousand gallons per
minute with two or four streams-and
had it not been for this little Babcock,
we would have had this amount of water
thrown in for an in sefnate time and any
miller can imagine the amount of damage
the water would have done, saying
nothing of the fire. As itwas, the fire
was all extinguished before the hose
could be broughf to bear on it. We con
slider these machines perfectly invaluable,
especially to flour mills, as water is near
ly as bad as fire, and would advise every
miller to secure at least two ofthem.

charges, as soon as possible ., . g. =

THE SCARCITY OF FOOD IN PARIS

A letter from Paris, November 10Th,
says: "The want Of food IS telling on
the spirits of the inhabitants. Bread is
becoming wretched. To get the thirty
grammes of meat allowed each inhab-
liant one is obliged to wait several hours
in the rain or snow, or cold first. or get
ticket and wait even longer to get the
miserable pittance of meat. The prices
of every article Of food advance daily.
There is no charcoal to be had, and coal
is becoming dearer daily. Table oil IS
becoming very scarce. Rats readily
sell at IS cents each, cats 90 cents, and
quotations firm, with a decided upward
tendency. l saw a turkey sold this

PRESIDENT GRANT AND THE
McGARRAHAN CLAIM.
IFrom the n. Y. Post.I


We have received from General Spin
ner, Treasurer of the United States,
whose name needs only to be men
toned to awaken respect for the highest
degree of personal integrity as exempli-
fed in his character, letter containing
a statement of President Grants views
Of the McGarrahan claim, concerning
which so much has been said. General
Grant has certainly right to be heard
in this matter, and to have the view
which he takes of the McGarrahan claim
and the counter claim of the New Idria
Company laid before the country, and
the authority from which we receive the
subjoined statement is voucher for its
literal accuracy. We quote from Gen
eral Spinner's letter:
"As the President understands the
matter, McGarrahan claims that a pat
ent should be issued to him. on his pay
ing the usual price fixed for government
lands for agricultural purposes, because
he had heretofore paid a valuable con-
sideration for the same to a person, as
he claims, acting under Mexican author
ity; but which conveyance, it now turns
out, was made by an irresponsible clerk
in the Mexican land office, after Califor-
MIA had come into the possession of the
United States; and that he antedated If,
and forged to it the signature of the per
son who had formerly, under the Mexi-
can government, been authorized to
sign land grants.
This gives McGarrahan, IN the opin-
ion of the President, no legal right to
claim a patent for the land at his hands.
He, therefore, as a precautionary meas
ure directed that his name should not
be signed for him by his secretary, to
such a grant, without his special consent
thereto.
''Now. this you will see was aimed at
the MCGarrahan claim, and originally
at that only And yet, in every article
in the EVENING POST on this subject, 1t
is either stated in express terms, or so
put that no other inference can be drawn
there from, that the President objected
to the Issuing of a patent to the New
Idria Company because he favored the
MCGarrahan claim. Nov. nothing can
be further from the truth than such a
charge or such an inference. The New
Idria Company claims priority of right
to patent, under a law in regard to |
mineral lands of the state of California; |
and hopes to obtain at nominal price
this very valuable mineral land. that has |
cost the United States hundreds Of thous-
ands Of dollars to defend against the
McGarrahan claim. But it is hardly |
worth the while to enter upon the rea-
sons why this company is not entitled to /
patent for the land; it is enough to /
know that the President has all along
thought and still thinks that 'seffllst- par
y has AgaI right to demand a patent,
and he doubts whether either of the par
ties has any valid claim to the land /
He believes. that the land is still the I
property of the United States, and as he ]
believes it to be worth many millions of
dollars, he thinks Congress should pass
a law for its profitable disposal for the
benefit Of the people Of the United States.
Upon this belief the President has acted
throughout the various transactions re-
lating to this land claim.
