CALIFORNIA cASTOR-oIL.

The Maryville Appeal has the fol-
lowing account of a recent visit to
the castor-oil mandatory of DR..
Mcdaniel, situated in Marysville:
aBeing a novice in the preparation
and pressing of the castor-bean, and
the process employed to produce
the pure oil, we were surprised at
the simplicity of the machinery and
everything connected with the mod
as operandi. The beans are first
subjected to dry heat of an hour
or so in a furnace. This softens
them and brings them to that pecu-
liar state required in expeditions
pressing. They are then taken out
and placed in a screw-press, run by
horsepower, and capable of press
ing between so and 100 gallons of
oil per day. From the press the oil
is conveyed into a vessel, and from
thence into large iron tank or boil
er. In this is placed 60 gallonssof
oil and the same amount of water
The oil is then boiled about an hour,
and kept standing until the next
morning, when the water is drawn
off and the oil transferred to the
CHARTERS which are composed of
zinc, and capable of holding from 60
to 100 gallons each. After standing
about eight hours in the sun, it is
taken out and put into cans, and is
ready for the market. Beans of a
superior quality are worth about
800 per ton, and lOOpounds are sup
posed to produce five gallons of oil.

DEATH OR DUNGEON.

An interesting question has come
up for solution in Nevada. Three
mail robbers, who plundered train
on the Central Pacific Road some
months since, were convicted, and
are now in the State Prison serving
sentence of about twenty years
each. This was deemed an ade-
quate punishment under the laws OF
the State, but the Federal statutes
aftix the penalty of death to mail
robbing by force or intimidation,
and for this offense the robbers have
been indicted by a United States
Grand Jury, and, on the 7th inst,
United States Marshal Lammon, on
motion of District Attorney Seely,
and under instructions of the Court,
made demand for the possession
of the prisoners. Under the advice
of Attorney-Gen Buckner, the
Warden declined to comply with
the demand, and thus at present
rests the matter.

GERMAN EMPIRE.

The new Empire of Germany be-
gins from this time a career of i'm
mense importance to the world. Its
population is the second of the great
States of Europe. Russia leads ii
with 69,O00,000; but, including AL
SAGE and Lorraine, Germany follows
with 40, 10000 of the most econom-
ical and Industrious inhabitants,
perhaps, to be found in any com
munity of the world. France, shorn
of large part of her two provinces,
comes next with 36,430,000; and
then the Austrian monarchy, with
30, $4,000, and Great Britain, with
30,S3S,000; last of all being Italy,
with Rome, counting 26,470,000 in
habitantS,

CONFESSING.

The Tammany Democracy are
confessing judgment on the charges
hitherto preferred against them OF
carrying their elections in the city
of New York by fraud. The effort
that is being made in the Legislature
of that State to change the time OF
holding their State elections from
November to October, is bare
faced acknowledgment of the dis
honest practices Of the Democrats
of New York. They thereby hope
to escape the restraints that the laws
of the United States throw around
their elections for State and local
officers, when held in connection
with the electors, DC. In speaking
of this movement and the animuS of
those engaged in working it up the
Utica Herald says:
''The aims of this bill are too ap-
parent to be misunderstood, and its
passage will not add to the popular
ity of the men in whose interest it
is framed. 1t is an open acknowl-
edgment that honest elections are
not favorable to democratic rule,
and an open avowal Of the intention
ofthe democratic leaders to continue
their ruinous sway though dishon-
est means. 1t is proposition to
defeat the popular will by frauds on
the ballot-box, and thus to practi-
cally change our State government
by substituting in its place an I'M
scrupulous political oligarchy.''

JUST DISCOVERED.

The Cincinnati Commercial has
at last discovered the cause of the
SUMNER imbroglio. Here it is, as
furnished by its Washington CORE
spondent, who is of course reliable
The primary cause of the little un-
pleasantness which exists between
the Secretary of State and Senator
Sumner, and which ultimately re-
suited in the removal of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, has its
foundation in 4 dinner, at which Mr..
Sumner and Secretary Fish were
present. When the two gentlemen
were well removed from each other at
the table, well served duck being
Immediately in front of Mr.. Sum
ner, the Secretary asked question
of Mr.. Sumner, about the aforesaid
feathered species, which Mr.. Sum-
ner either inadvertently or designed
ly declined to answer; to which re
fusal Mr.. Fish took exception. Out
of this fowl question has grown the
great diplomatic and Congressional
controversy which has so disturbed
the nation. This illustrates how
great oaks from little acorns grow.

PURE MILK.

York market is said to be prepared
in this simple, ingenious but profit
able manner. A dealer who receives
forty or fifty cans of milk per day,
skins one half or two thirds of it.

the addition of q liberal allowance
of water and sort of tasteless re-
fuse from the sugar refinery, which

pearance. Its then sold in the city

RECEPTION All JAMAICA.

The reception of onr San Domin-

Jamaica, is said to have been ex-
ceedingly kind and cordial. We
take this to be another satisfact ory
demonstration of the era of good
feeling that prevails among all ma
tions; for here are the representa-
tives of the two nations that are
even now competing or preparing to
compete for the great prize of COM
merce to flow through the Darien

FIvE-TWENTY BONDS.

The announcement that the Sec
retary of the Treasuryis about rea-
dy to call in a large amount of five
twenty bonds shows that the work
of issuing the new loan is being en-
tered upon in earnest. The Treasu-
ry Department will receive at once
any fiye-twenty bonds which hold
ers may desire to surrender in anti
cipation of the Issue of new bonds,
and pay interest on bonds so sur
rendered to the first day of May
next without the rebate, at which
time the new bonds will begin to
bear interest, and will also issue
certificates which will entitle the
holders to receive new bonds when
they are ready for delivery. The
fye-twenties surrendered must be
transmitted to the Treasury Depart
ment, and certificates guaranteeing
the delivery of new bonds will then
be issued. The registered bonds
should be assigned TO the Secretary
of the Treasury.

PROSPECTS OF TRADE.

The Chicago Tribune represents
the prospect for the spring trade as
a cheering one. The unwillingness
to buy to any considerable extent,
on what seemed to be a falling mar
ket, is vanishing, as the feeling now
generally prevails that prices of pro-
duce and merchandise are not like
ly to exhibit further marked de-
cline, and that an advancefn quota
tions is even more probable than a
reduction. Hence consumers are
more willing to buy larger lots of
goods than heretofore, and retail
dealers are encouraged to fill up
their shelves, which have been kept
at very low water mark for two
years past. This movement is, of
course, shared in by the wholesale
trade, and the preparations made in
our city for the spring business are
on an unusually grand scale.

A MODERN SOLOMON.
Natures Advocate-A Babes Evidence
The Mother Saved.

A young woman, pallid of coun-
tenance, poorly dressed, and carrying
4 babe in her arms, was arraigned
before 4 Police Court in Paris, on
the charge of having stolen three
ten-franc pieces from a lady who had
humanely given her employment as
a seamstress. The details of the
accusation were that the accused,
having been left alone by her en-
ployer in room where there were
several gold coins on the mantel
piece, returned to her own lodgings
soon after, leaving the said coins de-
creased by three. Missing the lat
ter at once, the lady of the house
despatched a servant to the lodgings,
at the door of which the seamstress
was met coming out with the stolen
money in her hand. Refusing to
hear an explanation very earnestly
offered, the indignant lady hastily
called the Police, and the unfortun-
ate needlewoman and her infant
were summarily conducted to court.
In response to the charge, the ac-
cused tearfully avowed her inno-
cence, and protested that, when met
at the door with the missing money
in her possession, she was on her
way to return it to the owner
While standing in her employers
room, near the mantle-piece, and
with thoughts elsewhere, the child
in her arms must have grasped the
coins. At any rate, upon reaching
her lodgings she had been greatly
alarmed by the discovery of the
money in the little ones clutches,
and would have returned it immedi-
ately, with full explanation, but for
the arrest. To this story the judges
refused to give credence, believing it
to be only an ingenious fabrication;
and in their pity for her youth and
maternity, counseled her to confess
frankly, and throw herself upon the
mercy of the Court, that the latter
might be justified in imposing the
lightest sentence consistent with
law. Still, however, the sobbing
woman maintained the truth of
what she had SAID; and that, too,
with such an appearance of passion
ate honesty thst the Court was evil
IDENTIFY shaken in his first conviction.
At length, one Of the judges, by
happy inspiration, proposed to admit
nature as an advocate for one too
poor to obtain any other, and sug-
gested that number of gold coins
should be placed upon the clerks
table, and the mother and child sta
toned in the same relative position
they had held toward the mantle
piece when the alleged theft occur
red. The suggestion being at once
understood and carried into effect,
all eyes were turned upon the infant,
and breathless silence mar ked the
interest of every spectator. At the
first sight of the glittering pieces on
the table the baby stared intently
thereat, with the aspect of super
natural thoughtfulness not uncom
mon in babyhood, then half-reached
out its chubby little hands; then,
with a simultaneous leap and COW,
made fair dive at the treasure, and
grasped as many Of the coins as it
could clutch. The test had been
successful-the mother was acquit-
ted, and the case went out Of the
court amid enthusiastic cheers for
the baby.

HARD TO CONVINCE.

The Pittsburg Gazette, in speak
ing of the disorder existing in the
South, says: 1t was a long time be-
fore the Northern Democracy could
be convinced that their Southern
allies intended to resist the author
ity and overthrow the Government
of the United States by armed force.
Even after the hostilities had COM
menced they declared that they were
a mere myth. 1t is as difficult to
convince them that there is an infa-
nous order in full blast in the South,
which is daily plunging the dagger
into the hearts of innocent and
harmless citizens for no other cause
than that they are members of the
Republican party. 1t is hoped that
the Government will not fail to do
its whole duty in the suppression of
these Southern outrages, notwith-
standing the incredulity Of Demo
cratic journals as to their existence.
Thousands of loyal men have been
cruelty murdered in the South with
in the last two years, and no punish
ment has been inflicted on the muir
derers. This state of things must
not be permitted to continue. Let
the necessary remedy be applied at
once, so that the country may not
again be cursed with another civil
war, which may prove more bloody
than the one through We have just
passed.

GOOD ADVICE.
passed

The Louisville Courier-J JouTnal
has of late given its fellow Demo.
Gratis of the South some good ad,
vice, and the following is of that
kind. The misfortune is that the
advice has been too good to be Ia
ken by those to whom it is address
ed: The news from Washington is
that, but for the Ku Klux, Mr.. Beck
would have succeeded with his gen
eral disability bill. Ku Klux may
have been a real or pretended OBJ,
lection, which we will not undertake
to decide; but one thing is certain,
we shall never be able TO get on
prosperously until the very shadow
of Ku KluXism is dissipated in the
South. Congress cannot do this. 1t
can only be done by just and fear
less local legislation, rigidly enforc-
ed and cordially endorsed by law
officers and public opinion. With
this frightful spot blotted out, the
prospect before us is full of cheer.
1t is but spot as matters stand,
and the more easily eradicated be-
cause it is neither deep nor extern
sive. No man who made 4 good
soldier during the war can be Ku
Klux, and it is the duty of the
Southern people to exterminate the
very idea as conclusive proof of all
that has been set up in defense of
the true manhood of the South.

THE RESULT.

After all the result of the New
Hampshire election is involved in
doubt. Neither of the candidates
for Governor is elected, while the
complication of the Legislature is i'll
volved in so much doubt as to rem
der it entirely uncertain which par
ty will gain the day. The labor re,
formers really control the House.
the other parties being SO evenly
balanced that the four members OF
the Labor Reform party will have
the casting vote. In the Senate the
two parties are tied, the majority
depending on the filling up of va
cancies. So the wonderful triumph
so widely heralded has not taken
place vet.

ONE OF THEIRS TRICKS.

He was born in Marsailles on the
10th of April, 1877. His father was
a blacksmith, but his mothers rela-
tives got him a scholarship in the
Imperial Lyceum of his birthplace,
where he went through his studies
with splendid success. When eigh-
teen years old Thiers went to AK
to attend the lectures of the faculty
of law in that town, There he be-
gan to play the role of a party
leader among his comrads, harang-
uing vehemently against the resto-
ration of the Bourbons, and in favor
ofthe Bonapartism which his veteran
elouuence has since so earnestly de-
nounced.
One of his tricks at that period is
evidence of how decidedly the child
is father of the man; for very tricky
indeed has been the Mira6eaw
mouche, as he was once branded by
a distinguished woman.
A prize had been offered for the
best eulogiun on Vauvenargues by
the Academy of AK, a good and
peaceful academy, which, to make
use of Voltaire's witticism, had al
ways succeeded, like an honest wo-
man, in keeping itself from being
talked about. Theirs determined
to win the prize, and sent in his
manuscript. 1t was deemed pre-em-
inent, but unluckily the name of the
author was either OWNED or be-
trayed, and as there was no other
candidate who deserved the palm,
the worthy members of the Areop-
agus, rather than award it to the
little Jacobin, put off their decision
to the following year.
At the appointed time the manu-
script of Theirs made its re-appear-
ance, but in the meantime produc-
ton had come from Paris which
eclipsed all its competitors, and the
| judges fastened to crown it, accor-
ding, however, to the paper pre-
sented by Theirs the humble favor
of an accessit.
The name of the Partisan victor
was then unsealed, and great was
the CONSERVATION of the academ-
leans when it was found to be that
of Theirs himself! He had indulged
in the malicious pleasure of mysti-
flying the learned gentlemen by
treating the subject in new point
of view, causing the composition
to be copied in strange hand, send
ing it ON journey from AK to Par
is and from Paris to AK, and thus
obtaining both the prize and the ac-
cessit.
