three inches high, they cut off its tap
root as soon as it has other rootlets
enough to live upon, and replant in a
shallow pot or pan. The end of the tap
root is generally made to rest upon the
bottom of the pan, or on a flat stone
within it. AlluvIal clay is then put
into the pot, much of it in bits the size
of beans, and just enough in kind and
quantity to furnish scanty nourish-
ment to the plant. Water enough is
given to keep it in growth, but not
enough is given to excite vigorous
habit. So likewise in the application OF
light and heat. Then, too, the top and
roots, being within easy reach of the
gardener, are shortened by his pruning
knife, OF scared with his hot iron. Sc
the little tree, finding itself headed on
every side, gives up the idea of strong
growth, asking only for life, and just
growth enough to live and look well
Accordingly, each new set of leaves be-
come more and more stunted, the buds
and rootlets are diminished in proper
ton, and at length balance is estab-
lished between every part of the tree
making it dwarf in all respects. In
some kinds of trees this end is reached
in three or four years; in others ten oil
fifteen years are necessary"
DISADVANTAGE OF LARGE FARMS
One of the rocks on which many fall
is to have too much land. 1t is much
safer to be crowded for room-to have
no room to plant anything, as is Otter
remarked-than to be spread out to the
extent We commonly see. This is true
of rented land; but more particularly
SO of ground which we buy. 1t is very
common thing for one who has thous
and dollars to buy land worth two
mortgaging half, and leaving little spare

Our SENATORIAL CANDIDATE.-Dave
Gordon, of the West Coast Signal, who
"kuow VIII reof he speaks" thus de cribes
our nominee for the State Senate:
Stratton's past political record is uuim
peachable. All through the dark years of
the rebellion his course and action we're
in unison with the defenders of the Union,
while his opponent stood high 10 the coun-
ellis of those who said, "Let the Union
slide !" reckless of the reverent nature Of
the inheritance won by toll and agony,
and bequeathed by prayers and solemn
admonitions. Stratton is laborng man
whose head is full of political history
whose "heart is in the right place.
While his opponent accepts the "New De.
parture' for policy's sake. he at heart alb
hors the silly subterfuge to which his par
ty has resorted in hope of success. We
trust the Republicans of Shasta and Trinity
will make their best fight, and elect STRAIT.

GETTING DtsPERATE.-During the
past week number of Republicans from
outside precincts have been IN town and
say that the particular friends of two OF
three Democratic candidates in their re-
spective precincts are freely offering to
trade the balance of the Deu ocratic non,i-
nees for Republican votes for their favor
ties. Is this preconcerted arrangement
by several of the Democratic candidates
to sacrafce the balance of their ticket in
order tt make a selfish point in their own
favor? Is this the fair thing, gentlemen,
by your associates on the dem1ctatic ticket :?
Remember that others have friends as
well as yourselves, and can play this thing
back on you.

Election "wednesday September 9Th.

PROFIT By EXPERIENCE the last
election several Democratic officials sue
ceeded in squeezing iuto office on account
of Republicans scratching in their favor,
and on account of the dissatisfaction which
prevailed in relation to the 18th Amend
n.ent issue. This year there is no cause
for dissatisfaction, and the Republicans Of
the county are determined to stand shoulder
to shoulder and give their candidates a
straight vote This lets out all the Dem
ocratic aspirants this time
The Shasta courier., 1871-09-02

Work FOR Your TIcKET-From now
until the closing of the polls on the 6tu
instant, let every Republican in the county
consider himselfchosen a special committee
of one to work for and do all in his power
for the entire Republican ticket. Ifevery
Republican does his duty from now until
the evening of the 9th, the result in old
Shasta will be most glorious, and will send
a thrill Of joy to the heart of every lover
and friend of our cause. Then pull steady
and strong boys, for the prize for which we
struggle is noble indeed. Work!

worker for our cause that has rraversed this
portion Of the State for years. He is worth

STILL MARCHING On TO the almost
universal Republican gains as showa in Il .
spring elections in the East and West, we
may now add the signal triumph lately
achieved by our party in North Carolina
aud Idaho 'erritory. In the-fornfer the
Republicans carry the State by ten -thous
and majority on proposition to GAIT a new
Constitutional Convention, and in the1atter
the same party elects its Delegate to Con
gress and redeems the Territory from
Democratic rule for the first time since its
organization. The Democratic party is
dy ing slow but sure. -.

..FRIEND OF THE woRkrNcMEN.u

The Democrats claim to be the simon
pure friends of the workingmen, and pro-
claim themselves as such on every stump
As proof of this friendship we find this
law upon page 5S4 ofthe Statutes of 1869
10. a similar bill was introduced in the
Legislature of lS67-S, aud passed the
Assem- bly, which was Democratic, but was
killed in the Republican Senate.
SECTION l. No mortgage OF lien given
and held upon real estate, or the debts
thereby secured, or promissory notes secur-
ed by mortgage, shall be assessed upon the
books OF any Assessor, State, County, or
otherwise.
SEC. 2. An laws and parts of laws in.
consistent with this Act are hereby repeal
ed.
SEC 8. This Act shall be in force i'm
mediately
1t will be seen by the above that the
rich man, the possessor of thousands or
millions Of dollars, can loan his mohey on
mortgage and escape taxation, but the poor
man, who borrows the money. is compelled
to pay taxes upon the property mortgaged.
In 1868, John Nusent sued the San
Francisco banks for fee of S150,O00, for
services rendered in lobbying the bill
through the I emoc-atic Assembly of the
year before. All of which go-s to prove
that the Democrats are the friends of
worklnsmen," Well may the poor man
say "save NE from the friends"

DEMOCRATIC Speakers are fighting an
imaginary enemy when they suppose that
Republicans object to the expenditure of
State money for monument in honor of
Senator Burnett. But what they do OBJ

A NEW REFoRMArIoN.-Under this head,
Frank Leslle's Illustrated Newspaper, of
May Goth, uses the following elegant Ian
guage:
1t is remarkable that while the Catholic
Church throughout Europe tends to liber-
alism, in the United States it is exception
ally reactionary. In face, the
Church is here less tolerant than in any
country in the world, Spain not excepted.
Why this is SO is not obvious, and can
hardly be accounted for except from the
circumstance that it's priesthood certainly,
and most of its members, are recruited
from, probably, the most ignorant and in
A convention of the dissentients
in the Church itself is soon to be held,
which may lead to another Reformation. y

o'clock, for the purpose of raising funds to pay
off the Indebtedness on his new church. The
best musical talent in the city has been pro-
cured for the occasion; amongst others, we

ORDINATIoNS.-Ac correspondent OF the
Baltimore Mirror, writing from Norfolk.
Va, gives the following interesting news
concerning the progress of Catholicty in
that once thoroughly Protestant city:
For the first time, in the history of our
little city, it gives me unimaginable pleas
ure to lay before the patrons of the Mirror
a short sketch of the ceremonies which
were gone through few days since in our
beautiful church, st. Mary's of the Immacu-
late Conception. On Sunday, first Tonsure
and Minor Orders were conferred on Messrs.
Thomas j. Murray, John r. Powers,
Michael P. Danner and Patrick j. Hasty,
all of the Diocese of Richmond. Sunday,
at 6 o'clock Mass, celebrated by Rev. Fa-
ther Duncan, many approached Holy Com
munion for the first time. Before O'CLOCK
Mass, the Right Rev. Bishop McGill, having
made few remarks explanatory of the ma
ture and effects of the Sacrament of Con-
frmation, administered it to niuety- eight
persons fifty-five of these were children,
the remaining forty converts. AT III
o'clock Mass, at which Rev. Father FlypD,
of Waterford, Ireland, OBLIGATED. the Right
Rev. Bishop delivered one of those logical
discourses in which he excels, taking for
his subject the Infallbility, and here he
had an ample field to draw on the deep
powers of his mighty mind, which he did
in a manner that have never known to be
equalled. His reputation both Tor elo-
oueuce and reasoning are too well and
widely established to require any comment.
On Monday morning the order of Sub
deacoaship was conferred on Mr.. T. j.
Murray. Tuesday, the Order of Deacon
! ship was conferred on the same Rev.
gentleman, and on Wednesday he was
raised to the dignity of the Priesthood.
After Mass, Rev. Father Murray gave his
first blessing to his father, mother and sis
ter, who had had the great happiness of
being present during the sublime ceremo-
MES.
