FoR GRANTS RE-ELEcrIoN-T New
York Herald, generally quite politically in
CONSTANT, adheres to President Grant. In
discussing tn chances of Gov. Hoffman for
the Presidency, it says:
Nor do we believe that with my ticket they
NAV nominate for the succession the Dem.
ocratic party can shake the solid popularity
of General Grant. We think that he is as sure
of a second term as General jackson was in
his day against comers and all combinations
He is backed, too, by a party which has be-
come the party of the nation in far higher
degree than was the old Democratic party
even under Jackson. The record Of Jack.
sons administration has nothing larger OF
more conspicuous than the sitting of the
South Carolina null i6ers and the overthrow
of Biddle's national bank, while General
Grant, his party and his administration
identified with grandest, the most imposing
and the most important events and achieve
ments of any nation in any age of the world.

GREAsING WAGON WHEELs.-The proper
greasing of wagon wheels is of much more
Importance than generally supposed. The
Coachmakers' Magazine gives some valuable
information on the snbject, which may not
be generally known, We quote as follows !:
Few people are aware that they do wagons
and carriages more injury by greasiNg too
plentifully than in any way. A well-made
wheel will endure constant wear from ten to
twenty-five years, if care is taken to use the
right kind and proper amount of grease but
if this matter is not attended to. they will b.
used up in five or six years. Lard should
never be used on a wagon, for it will pene
trate the hub. and work its way out around
the lemons of the spokes, and spoil the wheel
Tallow is the best lubricator for wooden axle
trees. and castor oil for iron. just grease
enough should be applied to the spindle of a
wagon to give it light coating this is bet
ter than more, for the surplus put on will
work out of the ends, and be forced by the
shoulder bands and nut-washer into the hub
around the outside of the boxes To oil an
iron axle-tree. first wipe the spindle clean
with a cloth wet with spirits of turpentine,
and thea apply few drops of castor oil near
the shoulder and end. One teaspoohful is
is sufficient for the whole.
We would add that for journals on which
there is a heavy pressure it is a good plan to
mix with the oil some lampblack or common
SCOT. Powdered plumbogo or back lead is
also employed for the same purpose"

PIT RIVER CoUNTRY,-The editor of the
Yreka Union writes as follows of the Pit
river country:
For the present, grain raising could not
be thought of beyond what might be neces-
sary for the use of the family-it could not
be transported to any market. But cattle.
horses, etc., can be driven ut mere nominal
expense, to markets hundreds of miles dis
tant. The hills adjacent to the valleys are
covered. for miles and miles, with the best OF
grass. This circumstance gives an addition
al value to the valley land; farm in the
valley will substantially control the hills in
the rear. Hence, for stock raising, All eighty
or hundred and sixty acre lot in the valley
will be all that need be owned-the stock
can range on Government lands in the noun
tains.
But this country will not always remain
tho remote region 1T is at present. 1t is GER
tain to have, at a period not very remote,
railroad connection with the Sacramento val.
ley, and the State Of Nevada and the East
through one OF the adjacent mountain passes
When this happened the valleys along the
Pit river will be amung the most desirable
aui wealthy in the State. The amount oc
good arabic land in these valleys am unable
To state, but it is large. Ii is my opini' n
tnat immigrants in such circumstances as /
have Indicated above, would do well TO seek
a home in that portion Of the State.

Benjamin advised Boyle to make up two
packets exactly alike-one containing the
diamond, another containing nothing; the
former to be sent by post to Bogles friends
in Paris, the latter to be boldly carried by
him to the hotel, and deposited there for safe

''Bogle accordingly made up the two par

the way, requested that one OF the Pacha' S

British Consulate, where he might entrust
some one to post the precious packet, as a
common commercial letter. This he man
aged all safely. and with the false packet in
his breast walked back to his hotel. His ab-
sence for the whole night had of course been
duly noted, and his dragoman made most af-
fectionate inquiries as to his health, hoping
he had not got into any mischief.

that morning and secured his berth, and re-
solved to stay in his hotel during the remain

expose himself in any way. He never could
make out how his purchase had oozed out,
but that night he heard u rustlng in his
room, and had Just time to fire one barrel Of
his revolver at some one who had evidently
been prowling about with intent. He had
left the false packet in the breast pocket of
his coat, and in the morning he found it was
gone 1t was evident that his secret was
known, and he trcmblcd for the letter which
had been sent by post. He had just taken
his breakfast, when the landlord of the hotel
came to him in the most excited manner, and
informed him that Turkish official was
waiting at the door. Boyle went down to
him, and was at once arrested on the charge
Of dealing in gems without paying the gov
ernment tax. OF course no diamonds Were
found on him. or in his boxes, and after
bribing every one all round, so that no fur
ther inquiries might be made, he was allowed
to depart
"Wen,' said Maxwell, that diamond
reached Paris safely, and Boyle, going home
through that city, had the satisfaction of tax
ing it with him to London, and placed it one
fine morning before his astonished partners

PICKLES IN SALT.

The season having returned when it is desirable

GLOW shall lay them down and preserve them in

keep them so; they rise" The trouble is owing,
in all probability, to the neglect of complying with
one small item essential to their preservation.
will again repeat directions which | have proved
successful III preserving cucumbers from year TO
year. and for several years. quite sound and good.
Procure suitable cask-it may be oak, pine.
ash or other, provided it be clean and will hold
meat and you have the essentials for preserving.
Put the cask in the cellar, as you would your pork
barrel. Gather your pickles. from day to day, cut
them from the vines with half an inch of stem. all
sound and fresh, cleanse them of all dirt, Ne,
sprinkle i'll the bottom of the cask a half inch of
salt tumble in your pickles, three or four inches
deep. and put on salt you would in sailing pork
fill in thus till the cask is full or the desired quanl-
ty Is stored-you can lay them in as you gather
them, once. twice, thrice or more times week :.
only they should be fresh picked. If any on top
soften pick and throw them out. In few days
brine will form sufficient to cover the pickles. now
comes the essential often neglected; procure
a board to fit or nearly So the inside of the cask,
and it from the first putting in OF pickles, place
it with stone or brick on it, on top OF the pickles
to keep them under the brine, and there is no pos
sble danger of their spelling or injurinS; few on
these should be thrown out when occasion calls to
the pickles. onr people have kept cueumbers
in this way, sound and good, three or four years
when Use them they are taken up, rInsed, scald-
cd and soaked several days. to freshen before hay

way of preserving pickles. where they are to be
kept over winter; not very strong brine TO put
them in will preserve them for a few months, and
they are thus often put down when to he marketed
within two OF three months. Country Gentleman.
