Cold IN THE VALLEYS. - The
weather in all the valleys Carson,
Truckee, Eagle and Washoe-is at
present much colder of nights than
in this city. Why this is the case
we cannot say, but il is a well known
fact. 1t may be on account of the
cold air settling down to the bottom
of the valleys and the warm air ris.

may also have something to do with

THE STORY OF A DRESS.

The Virginia City correspondent
of the San Francisco Chronicle fur
nishes the following bit of gossip;
A STORY OF \ GARMENT,
Which has just come out, is Great
ing no small sensation in our dull
town. All our +. +. VS. repudiate
having had anything to do with it;
how far they speak the truth | am
not prepared to say. Before the
election and after the Republican
ticket was nominated, all the gentle
men on that ticket were so sure OF
being elected that their wives and
friends at once began to make pre-
parations on a grand scale to cele-
brgte the event. Among other ar
rangements, some ladies who Wee
strong upon politics held meetings
from day to day. and attending these
meetings there was a great deal of
mystery. and those not admitted
were dying to know what they were
all about. And now il has come out
that one part of the time of these
fair ones was occupied III going over
the antecedents of their acquaint
ances generally. and preparing Il list
Of those who were to be
CONSIDERED GOOD SOCIETY,
Both here and in Carson, and
scratching the names Of Others
whom they decided should not be
admitted To the balls and parties to be
/ given by the successful candidate.
Another thing they were engaged in
was obtaining subscriptions for Il
lace robe To be presented to n lady
whose husband was expected to have

{. ket should be elected. The drcs;
was to be bought in New York, but
the proprietors OF the store decline.

ed $500 tthe price of the robe being
/ 81 900, which deposit was to be for
feited should it be returned. Now
these ladies who were seeking to re
model society did not hesitate I,
solicit subscriptions from som
whom they had been naught'
enough to scratch. and the thre
hundred dollars. with a promise @
the balance when called for. wa
easily managed. and the carmen
was forthwith ordered. when. crue
to relate. the election came. but tn
right people were among the reject
ed. Here was
\ DILEMMA.
OF course the order for the dres
must be countermanded: what wa
the use of paying a thousand dollar
for a person who could be of n
benefit TO them? Therefore TIA
whole thing must be hushed up, an
the three hundred dollars sacriicel

The Ramic Plant.

II now seems certain that the rluniC
has succeeded in getting firm foot
hold in several portions of Louisiana
mud also in California, where it is
raised successfully and with II hand
some profit TO those who undertake
its culture. In tho former state, the
soil Of Tho Attskapas prairics Is cs-
pecinlly ~congcnial to this plant aud
% it has no insect enemies, like cot
ton, and no diseases, II thrivcs spcn-
didly, and promises n rich harvest.
In California it has been grown TO u
height OF over seven feet, and -four
isl'cs upon the loose, dry and sandy
soil which Ia found there in many
places, and is entirely worthless for
grain or vegetables. A Mr.. Minlzcr,
who owns a farm near San Bcrnadino,
writes 10 the San Francesca Iitd, un-
der daic 0f July 18th, that he had
then som" sixty or severity thousand
ramic plants growing upon his place,
which were all doing well, many
having attained the height of sever
feet. lie has gone into ranlio be-
cause Lc cannut do much at ordinary
farming, on account Of the cost of
transportation from that distant To-
cality. Mr.. Mcuizcr is convinced
that the cultivation OF the raInic is
profitable, even in rs unfayorablc a
season rs the present in California,
aud says TINT the only question
which now remains 10 be solved is
that of lis economical preparation Tor
the market and ready sale.

Improved stock.

The present high rrlcc ofthoroush-
bred stock, while It limits tho busi'
ness Of breeding TO men OF capital,
docs not necessarily prevent the or
binary farmer from procuring male
, animals whcrcwith to improve his
native stock. A stock Upgrade COWS
for thc dairy may be gradually gath
cred up by the expenditure OF from
fifty to two hundred dollars. Many
breeders OF jersey cattle will dispose
Of n young bull calf for = very small
sum, because tho color doe. not suit
their taste, while in respect TO it- ped
igrcc, or other uSCtiH qualities, II
may be hultloss. Such an animal
purchased young md well cared for
will become useful for raising calves,
ut n year old. A ycarling hcifcr of
his get will, by the uso of another
such animal, become profitable ri 'wo
year. old, and it, calf will DO three
quarters bred, md 1t Il quito likely
TO become as valuable for the dairy
rs pure animal that could not be
| purchased for lcps than $500 or 800.
The produce OF this COW would be
scvcn-cights bred, and ifcarc Ia taken
IN selecting the parents, would show
little difference from entirely pure
animals. Cooperation among n few
~ncighbors who would each procure
and keep young bull, whose services
they might exchange with each other
TO prevent close breeding, wonld soon
change the appearances az well az
the productive qualities ortho stock
Of quito n large district. The main
point TO be guarded against Is not to
breed from any but pure stock. All
male grade animals should be cmas-
culatcd or 90 20 the butcher, while
young. The use Of u grade bull
ought not TO be permitted. Here is
where mauy II mistake is made. In
the course Of four or five years quite
II herd Of thrcc-quartCr or seven
eighth bred animals would accumn-
late, and profit would begin to co"-
in. Ayrshire and Jersey cattle
should be the breeds aimed at, rs
these arc cXccllcntly fitted for the
dairy, and are %profitably fod for the
butcher on ordinary farms. They
arc exceedingly tractablc, quiet and
orderly, and large mixers, and yield
much butter of good color and flavor.
The Devon and Durham are better
fitted for the grazicr, and would be
more suitable where beef is the OBJ
jcct aimed at. But whatever the
breed chosen, care should be taken
to avoid neglect, or loss will incvi-
bly, cnsuc. We have known cases
where money has been invested in
thorough bred stock which has
been treated as though its blood
alone would be sufficient to protect
it from neglect, exposure and starva-
ton. The natural consequence of
such q mistake was made a ground
Of complaint against tho breeder, and
l"I to dissatisfaction and disgust.
The old adagc, "blood will tell, "
true as it may he, is no talisman
against such an error. The refined
nature Of an animal carefully bred
through many generations, will Of
ten enable it to sustain much i'll
! treatment. butt will not thrive I'M
der it. When possessed Of n spcci-
mon OF such stock, give it fair treat

feed and attention will make the in
vcstmcut n greatly profitable enc.

this rod be? Tho most pulling qucs-
ton to my mind Is how u common
