NAV err, but it seems to me there Is something OF
humbug in this matter. It may be that this
survey will prove beneficial, but doubt it; and
think that some scientific 'cuss " has got hold of
the great man Of the Senate and 10 anxious to

This is one Of pair Of twin elephants that
California has got, not by raff.e but by legsla-

NAL School Well, Mr.. O'Connor, of Nevada,
proposes to get rid of the mansion by turning it
into aaSupreme Court house, making it into Of
fees, library rooms and chambers, and for this
purpose the bill proposes to give $2O, 600. do
not think this will accomplish the change, but
am glad that some step is about to be taken to
get clear Of this monster that has already cost Us
$65 900.
CAPITOL AVENUE.
Senator Duffy, OF Sacramento, has another
project Of . far different kind. His idea is 70 60
on and finish this building buy several squares,
which, he says, can be done for $l20,0O and
make . splendid and beautiful avenue; fine Or
nament to the State and to our public buildings.
This is n modest request, coming from the MEM

II appears that Wheaton, from San Francisco.
has introduced n bill TO reduce the salary of
teachers of the first grade. The young school
narms OF that city selected one OF their number
to come to the Legislature to lobby against this
bill She is the right woman in the right place.
When she gees after a Senator he is az good a.
gone. She interviewed quite number while ]
was in my seat Just before the meeting OF the
Senate. She appeared very importunate with
the good-looking Senator from Amador, and he
seemed struck with much force by her argu-
ments. noticed another bachelor Senator from
away up north, siding around towards her rs if
he wanted to be interviewed. II such was his
wish he obtained it, for she went for him !

Dairy Cows.

The grazier selects animals con-
tanning the best beefpoints possible.
TO bring the greatest returns they
must be good feeders, and lay on
flesh in such portions of the carcass
as sell for the highest price.
The dairy COW must be not only
a good feeder, but a good drinker;
and, in addition to this, the milk
producing functions should be
highly developed, even if at the
expense of other parts of the system.
The dairy COW should have ample
belly; large milk veins, well de-
veloped--not feshy, udder, q fine
head and neck. light shoulders, but
should be full in the barrel. to &C.
commodate the lungs, as well as the
stomach and intestines, with large
buttocks and we'll developed hams.
Such cattle are not easy to find
among the common cows of the
country. They are the exception
and not the rule.

Wool Growing q Success.

We are asked why woolgrowers
do not fail, as other business men
sometimes do. We answer, simply
because the wrowth of the wool and
the increase is as perpetual as the
times in which they live. 1t matters
not how dark the night is, the wool
continues to grow, and it matters
not how the wind blows or how it
may storm, CESSATION is never longer
than $50 days. The lambs will
average one-half females, and often
twins, and they breed the next year,
making a double compound-a per-
petual growth and no loss. Every
thing that does not 60 into market
goes back to enrich the pasture;
and though the landlord may be
sick 1t does not stop the growth of
the lambs. Not so with other bust
ness. The mechanic or the man
who works for salary has nothing
to grow while he sleeps; when his
labor ceases his income stops, and
his expenses are perpetual. Hence
he is growing poorer more than one
half the time; if he puts in 312
days. labor IN year, and taking his
lost time in changing business, sick
ness, holidays and hours of recrea-
ton, he is lucky if no squares his
bills and has a few dollars to pay
the undertaken on the last round. 1t
is true there are perpetual expenses
attending the sheep or goat business;
but under the most unfavorable cir
cumstanccs, where they can live on
the commons without feeding, the
meat Of the wethers will pay all cx-
pcnses without drawing on the wool
or increase of the ewes. Hence it
is like perpetual stream flowing
into basin, it is only question Of
time about filling it to overlooking.
The drawback seems to be that men
do not relish living away from
thickly-populated settlements and
towns, depriving themselves of
society for the sake of money. This
objection can be obviated. In all
new countries there are villages
constantly springing up, near which
good sheep range can be had, where
the owner can visit his focks daily,
and at the same time give his family
the benefit of schools and society,"
