THE TRUE MoTHER.-Two women in

The magistrate before whom the case was
brought had been to church, where he
had heard about Solomon SO he conclud.
ed to try the plan pursued by that royal
polygamist. He ordered the constable to
cut the baby in half with butcher knife.
But the dodge wouldn't work. One wo-
man began to cry; but the other one-she
was familiar with Holy Writ, she was; and
so she put her thumb to her nose, and
wrigging her fingers, said, "Ah-h-h now
you think you're smart now, don't you ?
You think I'm going to say l don care if

SEED CoFFEE-In this country several
attempts have been made at coffee grow
ing, but in most cases the seed has failed
by the too great age of the seed at the date
of planting. After certain age, it is said,
it will fail to grow. Impressed with the
idea that good ceffee can be grow there,
Mr.. Matthew Keller has procured, at no
little trouble, sack of seed coffee from
the Sandwich Island which is not only
fresh but of fine quality. The kernel is
enclosed in yellowish brown husk, which
is removed previous to the appearance OF
the coffee as a merchantable article. Mr..
Keller will experiment quite largely him
self the coming season. Others, and we
hope there will be many, who wish to pro-
cure seed can be supplied with small guam
titles at the moderate price of one dollar
per pound. The seed is first planted In
hills, like corn, and the plants afterward
transplanted 1t is said that he is pub
lie benefactor who succeeds in causing two
blades of grass to grow where but one grew
before. How much more praise then
should be accorded to those who, stimula-
ted not only by desire for personal profit,
but also by an enlightened spirit of enter
prise, succeed in inaugurating and deve-
Looping new branch of industry, and add
ing one more to the list of profitable pro-
ducts among us. Diversified culture is
one of the wants of California. We have
not the slightest doubt that coffee can be
raised and in perfection. The young
plants would doubtless require careful at
tention, especially in localities subject to
frost Than thrifty, heavy bearing cof

THE INCOME TAX LAW REPEALED
The New York Herald says: 'There is a
serious misapprehension in the public
mind in relation to the Income tax. Pc
titions are being sent to Washington for
repeal of the law 1t should be distinctly
understood that the income tax law was
repealed by limitation on the 3lst day of
December, 1869. The tax now beng
assessed is for the year 1869. After it is
paid no other income tax can be collected
or assessed without the enactment of an
entirely new law, which is not likely to be
brought about The repeal of the old Law
is final and unconditional 1t takes effect
as soon as the tax for 1869 is paid. A
bill passed the House under the previou.
question gag rule few days ago, pro
viding for the assessment and collection
of an income tax for one year only (1S70)
but it met with disastrous defeat in tn
Senate. 1t is not at all likely that Con
gress will put such needless burden upol
the people again in face of the unanimou
protest of the entire press of the country
