the people are taxed more heavily
than ever before, because, forsooth,

Of the United States for the year

about eight per cent. less than for
the year ending June 80, 1870. The
internal revenue taxes have yielded

$4,000, 900. The revenue from Gus

My New silk Sacduc.

| want to tell, says a lady correspon-
dent of Auhw'S Home Magasine, that I
have new silk sacque-that is quite as
stylish rs any have seen in the streets
or stores, and that cost me only twenty
five cents for lining, and eight cents for
sewing-silk. | really must tell you about
it, for / am quite proud of my achieve
ment.
First, it is made out of about two
breadths of n silk dress which has been
in wear for the last nineteen years.
Mother sponged the silk, and ironed it
on the wrong side so nicely that it look
ed just as good as new. Mother can do
up things beautifully. The silk costing
me nothing, 1 though I would venture
on little extravaganza, and buy some
guipure lace, and some satin for piping,
to trim it with, Money is not at all
plenty at our house, and we all have to
try to lay out every penny to the best
advantage So L really did feel as if
this sacquc trimming was almost an UNI
justiiiable extravaganza. But then |
didn't have new silk sacque every day.
The morning that was working on
it mother said to me: Chow would you
like fringe instead of lace ?"
/ replied that I knew fringe was more
fashionable, but l really liked lace best
"But if the fringe costs you nothing 2"
/ didn't exactly see where the fringe
was to come from, but 1 was ready to
receive any suggestions. SO mother
brought out an old parasol, dilapidated,
faded and lame, that had seen its best
days at least five years before, and was
now handed over as plaything to the
children. 1t was bordered with heavy
fringe, sadly tangled and faded. This
she proposed to dye and I, worry doubt
ful of her success, agreed to wait the
trial, at the same time remarking that
it was pity there wasn't some old satin
about the house that would do to make
the piping with, so as to have the entire
thing secondhand but / could think
Of nothing but an old satin vest that had
been out Of wear for number of years.
"Just the thing" mother said; and off
she posted and brought it. The vest
Woo hlVSSh DCuio Oli, DuJ WIS maze OF
the thickest and finest of vest satin and
though it had seen much wear, it was as
black and glossy as ever, except at the
folds and seams. l made a calculation
about the quantity of piping I required,
and found the vest, cut to the best adj
vantage, would furnish just enough 1t
made beautiful piping-no fraying about
the edges-round and full, needed moth
ing to stiflen it.
I cut and made my sacque myself.
Mother brought the fringe in due season,
dyed beautiful black, and com5ed
smooth. And here is the sacque all
finished, just as nice as though every
part of it was bran new and the cost,
as have already said, was only thirty
three cents

A Whaler's COurtship.

He had been a whaler twenty years,
and when he gave up the sea and settled
upon his earnings, all his friends said
they hoped Jonathan Weeks would mar
ry some nice woman and enjoy the COM
forts of a happy home. He himself
seemed to think it would be nice thing
to do, and he made an effort in that di-
rection. But they said that the reason
why he did not win the heart and hand
of widow Burritt was this: 1t seems
that Mr.. Weeks used to go round there
counting in the evenings, while the
Widow sat patching the trousers of her
son, and waiting for manifestations Of
Weeks love. Old Weeks would sit over
on the settee, getting sleeper and quiet
er every minute. And every now and
then he would nod in the land of dreams,
and get to wandering off and imagining
himself away on whaling voyage, wake
up all bewildered, and would seize his
cane and iab it into the widow before he
could collect his senses sufficiently to re-
alize that it was not harpoon and she a
whale. They do say that Mrs. Burritt
INDUCED these eccentricities for time
with the firm conviction that she would
reconstruct that whaler when she mar
ried him. But this was never to be );
for one evening Mr.. Weeks sat doing on
that settee with kind of dim dreamy
consciousness of things, in which the
room and settee were confused and mix
ed with the raging main and the whaling
boat. The widow had a cold in her
head, and she wasjust in the act of max
ing a vigorous use of her handkerchief,
when the dream of Weeks reached a cri-
sis, and he yelled out, "There she
blows !" And he heaved his harpoon
at her with such force that he broke her
comb into vulgar fractions and knocked
her off her chair. Loves young dream
was entirely dissipated, and Mr.. Weeks
went home with two handsful of hair
missing. He is single yet, because, he
says, women have no sympathy and for
bearance

A Great California Orchard.

A few days ago it was our pleasure to
visit the orchard of John Briggs, located
about two miles south of Yuba City,
in Sutter county. The proprietor owns
466 acres, mostly bottom land on the
west bank of the Feather river. The
soil is rich, sandy loan, and composed
of the yearly deposits of the river many
years ago. No better or richer land is
to be found in the State, add the or
chard we shall briefly notice promises to
be the pride of the Briggs Brothers,
who have n State reputation as or
chardists and fruit-growers. Before
reaching the orchard proper we rode
through field of $50 acres of castor
beans, growing in the most luxurious
manner-which field, by the by, is to
give place to new orchard next year,
the fruit trees for the same at present
growing in the nursery by the side of
the field of castor beans, and containing
$4,000 one-year-old budded peach trees,
10000 plum trees, 5000 Eastern walnuts,
$4,000 California walnuts, 1000 apple
trees, 500 italian chestnut trees, etc.
Passing along through this forest of
young trees, we arrived at the present
peach orchard, consisting of 600 trees,
two years old, and some of them bear
ing this season $50 pounds of peaches.
These trees have made remarkable
growth owing to the rich ground upon
which they are planted, and in another
year will make tremendous yield Of
fruit Passing the peach orchard we
reached the apricots, 1920 in number,
which are also two years old, and have
borne a fair crop the present season.
This orchard presented sad sight in
one respect. The late heavy storm had
Frustrated many of the trees entire,
while in others the limbs had been torn
off rs If tremendous tornado had swept
over the place. However, the trees were
healthy and stout, notwithstanding the
mutilations here and there. We rode
next into the cherry orchard, containing
three thousand Of the most thrifty young
trees ever seen on any ground. The
different varieties, fifteen in number,
gave this orchard variety Of aspect,
and broke up the usual monotony OF the
steeple-like formed cherry orchard
These cherry trees were all imported
from Rochester, N. Y, about three
years ago. Off to the south of this
wonderful wilderness are two thousand
five hundred apple trees, mostly winter
varieties. On returning from the or
chard by the wagon road we had entered
we visited Briggs Brothers steam power
castor oil mill. Here we found mag
nifcent hydraulic press, with eighty
pounds pressure, and possessing a ca
pacity of COMPRISING three hundred
gallons of oil per day. The mill also
contained twenty tons of castor beans,
and two thousand five hundred gallons
of oil, nicely bottled and cased and ready
for market--Cdlformia loaper.

The Prisons of Siberia.

A glance into one of the prison cages
of Siberia discloses very curious pic
tlue. Most prisoners wear the convict
garb, which is as ugly here as i'll other
countries kind of cloak with sleeves,
of dirty drab color, disfgured by the
letters S / b (Siberia) on the back; these
letters being inlaid in yellow cloth. A
shapeless cap of the same material as
the cloak completes the costume, which
seems to answer its purpose very well,
for the cloth is thick and firm. Even
under that uniform garb many national
types may be distinguished from the
stolid, fat-faced Finnish tribes, some of
them almost like the Esquimaux, the
sharp features of the Jew, and the beau
tiful face and form of the Circassian
mountaineer. The wearing of the
prison garb seems not to be obligatory
even with the greatest criminals, and
many of them wear entirely or in part
their own clothing; the Circassian, the
national cloak with its rows of cases for
cartridges sewn on the breast cloth, and
the shaggy fur cap; the Tartar, the
pointed felt hat over the slull-cap which
covers his shaven head, and the long
castan; the Russian peasant, his greasy
great-coat Of sheepskin. Most prison
ers have good, well-shaded boots, which
guard their ankles against the friction of
the chain !; others wear the national foot
clothing of linden-bast over the linen
rags they tie round their feet and legs
The only chains worn are letters attached
to the two ankles, and lifted up in the
middle by means of strap fastened up
to the loins Il believe by agirdle.) These
chains are not very heavy, and the pris-
oners walk freely enough with them ;
yet the clinking of the irons makes one
shudder. Such chains are worn only
by those who are sentenced to hard Ia
Dor, while those who arc sentenced mere
ly to Siberia wear no chains whatever

The Transit of Venus.

The Saturday Recie'c (English) says
that extraordinary interest is already
felt in British scientific circles in regard
to the transit of Venus in 1874 and that
arrangements for making the proper OBJ
servations are even now in progress.
The problem which has to be solved is
the suns distance from the earth. About
the middle of the last century the amount
of this distance was set down by the ac-
cepted authorities at 100000 miles.
The first transit of Venus, in 1853,
brought this up to 95, 173OOO miles--a
number so near the one obtained in the
next transit, that of 1869, that till quite
recently some foul play was suspected
in the observations made in the last
named year to render the results similar.
But the transits of Venus are now no
longer depended upon with the impor-
lance and exclusiveness formerly attach
ing to them in the determination of this
great and magnificent problem. Astron-
omical instruments are now so greatly
improved that the base line method can
be applied to Mars, and, besides other
means, even the velocity of light has
been brought to bear on the problem.
Singularly enough, too, the result of all
this modern work, and of the more in
direct methods, has been to show that
the amount of the distance derived from
the observation of transits in the last
century requires to be reduced by some
thing less than four million miles. The
error, however, thus made by astlon-
omers in the suns angular diameter
granting it to be an errors, after ALL
no greater than the breadth of human
hair, viewed at distance of 125 feet.

to make his escape disguised as a wo-
