Great Fire.


The most destructive fire we have
had in San Francisco for many a day
visited us last night. 1t commenced
at the Empire Sawmills, about nine
o'clock, on Fremont street, and spread
so rapidly that 1t was soon found nee
essary to sound a general alarm. At
eleven O'Clock the whole eastern por-
ton Of the city was lighted up by the
conflagration, until the streets were rs
light as. at MONDAY. a volcano of
sparks shot up into the air and fell
among the neighborlng buildings,
threatening to involve them In SINH
lar calamity. The crowd, attracted
by the blaze, and the unusual occur
renee of q general alarm, was some
thing immense. Every street In the
vicinity of the burning buildings was
white with upturncd faces, watching
the battle between fire and water, and
when L left the scene Mt two this MORN
ing the multitude did not seem much
reduced in numbers. The premises
DESTROYED were Miller & Haley's mills,
Glasgow Iron and Metal Importing
Conpany's warehouse, and ten or
twelve smaller buildings. A coal yard,
containing five hundred tons OF COAL
was situated In the center of the burn-
ing mass, and when 1t caught, literally
aided fuel to the flames. At present
writing there are all kinds Of rumors
I'm circulation about lives lost and the
amount of damages sustained. 1t IS
that the engineer Of the Beale
mills lost his life, az he was no
tieed to enter the premises after the
danes bIoke out, and he has hot been
seen since. The loss Is roughly esti-
mated at 5000 600. JACK HoRNrS' b

THE annual cost, to each individual, of

ding the expense of the Mexican war, was

Another exhibit of facts shows that, in
1869, foreign vessels carried 50 per cent. of
imports, and % per cent. of the exports of
the country; and in 1867 they carried 81
per cent. of the imports, and 62 per cent.
of the exports. In 1860 these vessels did
about ID per cent. of the business, and the
rest was carried on in American bottoms.

The Republican Party.

IN his letter accepting the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Massachusetts,
John q. Adams says:
The only real claim of the Republican
party of late to public confidence, is by ii
parade of trophies, without head or
system, or principles; it is held together
only by the life of decay-corruption. Its
system Of taxation is the most burdensOme
and the least democratic in the world its
currency is the robbery of the poor, while
It's vaunted reduction of the debt has only
been accomplished by cruel taxation.
which doubles the burden by taking two
dollars from the people for each dollar
paid to the public creditor
This scheme of impOsts is deliberately
and craftily organized in the interests of
associated capital alone, and is as certainly,
if not as palpably, violation of every
principle of equal democratic government
as was the cognate policy of the same
party by which two hundred millions of
acres of the peoples homestead lands have
been given away to railroad corporations.
"The cunningly devised scheme will this
year take five or six hundred millions of
dollars from the people, and pay it over to
the capitalists who own your mines and
mills and furnaces and salt works, to allie
viate their Improbable labOrs, as certainly
as if the tax was openly levied and the
bounty avowedly paid Under the same sys-
tenn our ocean shipping is broken up and
our shipyards are closed, and the farming
land of New England no longer fetches
the cost of the buildings upon it. And
that its conspicuous merit in affordng pro-
lection to the American workman from the
pauper labor of Europe may be apparent
to the meanest capacity, almost the only
article which it admits duty free is an I'M
limited supply of cheap Chinese, imported
in lots to suit capitalists
The Democracy, on the contrary, accept
ing the past and frankly recurring to the
principles of Jefferson, hold out the hand
to all who long for reform and press for
ward to redeem the future. To that end
they call all men who are for Il moderate
and equal tariff, conceived in no interest
less universal than that of the whole peo-
ple-On all who know that IL deprecated
currency is a curse to every one, but utter
perditiOn to the poor, and on those mcr
who see how corruption is sapping the
foundation of the government, to maintain
by their votes the truly Democratic meas
ures of hard money a revenue tariff, and
radical reduction and reform in the civi
service"

THE cry for rest is often louder than
the cry for food, not that it is more I'M
portant, but because it is often harder to
get. The best rest comes from sound
sleep OF two men or women, otherwise
equal, the one who sleeps the best will be
the most moral, healthy, and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irritability of
temper, peevishness, uneasiness, and in
sanity 1t will restore To vigor an over
worked brain, and build up and strengthen
a weary body. 1t will cure the headache,
hypochondria, the blues, and long list of
nervous maadies But the cure of sleep
lessness itself is not SO easy 1t is often
produced by hard study, long-continued
watchfulness, too little exercise, tea and
whisky drinking, and tobacco using. To
break up the habit are required: First, a
good clean bed. Second, sufficient exercise
Third, good air. and not too warm a room.
Fourth, freedom from too much care.
Fifth, clean stomach. Sixth, clear con
science. Seventh, avoidance of stimulants
and narcotics

Our Friends.

Our best friends are not those most
willing to loan us money, to give us pres
ents, or to placate us with praises of our
virtues and abilities All these may pro-
coed from interested motives, and such mo-
tives are rarely or never the foundation of
wholesome and lasting friendship. In
these selfish days, when romance, affection
and reverence have so little, and thirst for
wealth so much to do with mems actions,
and when persons are on the lookout for
themselves and careless of the claims of
others, there is little old fashioned steadfast
friendship to be met with. The name sur
wives but The substance has vanished. Men
have their political friends, their business
friends, and friends whom they can apply
to for an Endorsement of a note in bank
But the relation invokes no tender and gen
ial intimacy, and may be broken by any
accident of politics or business. The truth
is, that good friend, next to a good wife,
is the rarest treasure man can have on
earth. His friendship is not the result of
bargain and sale. nor the result Of inter
changes of favors. 1t springs from pure
and disinterested affection it is more ready
to- grant favOrs and to make sacrifices than
to accept them. 1t reioices without osten-
tation and without hypocrisy in our good
fortune it never envies our successes when

Harvesting Corn.

Corn cut in September should be husked
in October, the ears gathered, and the resi-
due carefully stacked or housed for feeding
The early completion of this work is de
sirabe for several reasons 1t can be done
far more eXpcditiOusly when the weather
is comfortable than it can when it becomes
colder. Stopping to whip ones fingers to
keep the blood in circulation takes time,
even if the discomfort was not thing to
be mentioned, and husking in leather nit
tens is not a rapid or agreeable operation
Besides, corn allowed to stand in the stack
after it is fit to be husked is always injured
The stacks settle, some of the ears touch
the ground and soften, if they do not
sprout. What is worse, the fodder loses
its brightness, and to a large extent its
value, by standing in the field during the
fall rains, and not unfrequently an early
snow prevents its being husked at all until
the next April, which means the complete
loss of the fodder and largely of the corn.
Last winter, thousands of acres in the
State of Ohio and westward stood in the
stack from September to (some of it) May,
and the estimated loss was enormous-all of
which might have been saved to the farmer
and the country by the timely attention
which we suggest
The best mode of conducting this opera
ton is to set a cart or wagon within circle
of say thirty stacks that yield a bushel
each, and then seated on a milking stool,
husk each stack, breaking as few of the
stalks as possible, emptying the basket into
the cart, and binding the stalks in bundles
of size 70 be easily handled with one OF
two strong straw bands.
After the husking is done, the stalks
will be SO much lightened that they can be
readily loaded and taken to some convenient
place for stacking. A stack of corn fodder
will not shed rain well, and unless the tops
of the stacks are protected there is no pos
sibility of saving the fodder, if it stands
long enough to rot, as the water will some
times find its way from the top to the bot
| TOM
Our plan has always been to stack the
fodder around pole, keeping the inside
the highest, SO that the butts shall lie nj
an angle of at least ten degrees, and when
the top is reached surmount the whole
with large bundle of rye straw, which
falling over the top of the stack, turns the
rain from the centre, and secures its transit
on the outside to the ground If poles
are scarce, the same end may he reached by
sticking stake into the top of the stack
and binding the cap around that To dc
this requires little more time than the
old slip-shod way, but the saving of the
fodder pays, besides the satisfaction of hav-
ing the job neatly and properly done
There is no department of farm work
but will pay for care, and it is especially
needed in securing crops. 1t is the saved
load of corn and the saved ton of fodder
that makes the difference between the sue
cessful and the unsuccessful farmer

Some medical men insist that il is undigniiied to

Queer reasoning this 1t is like saying that an ar

such a place. instead of washing out.
Cedar bark, pounded soft like oakum, is
also good. Such a covering requires but
little crawling to make it tight, as the
pressure of the water forces the packing
