NOVEL MODE OF FARMING. -. The
richness Of the reclaimed swamp and over
flowed lands in most parts of the State
is proverbial. At no points are they
found more so than on the Floral Isles"
SO called, which lie along the Sacramen-
to and San Joaquin rivers. A cores
pondent of the Enterprise, writing from
Twitchell's Island, gives the following
description of how the lands are prepared,
planted, and the seed "harrowed in ="
The tules grow from five to ten feet in
heighth during the rainy season. As
soon as the water dries up in the Spring,
the tules are fired, and although they
look green, they burn like wild oats.
After the burning is done there is coat
ing Of ashes on the ground from two to
ten inches in depth, resembling light
snow. The seed is sown on the sur
face, without further preparation. A
flock of sheep is then driven over the
ground in a compact body, by five or six
men in such manner as to compel them
to go over the whole surface. This tread
ing serves to harrow in the grain, tramps
the ashes down solid and makes the whole
surface OF the ground look as smooth rs
an onion bed in well regulated garden.

HARMLESS THUNDER.

The Alta Califoymta we judge repre-
serts class of Front street merchants
whose well-displayed advertisements fill
its mammoth columns. AS a general
thing the 4 Atta has a placid, peaceful way
of discussing the topics it presents to its
readers. But occasionaly-andw we i'm
agine because instigated thereto by its
wealthy patrons-it essays to explode
some obnoxious project or annihiate
some contumacious politician. or late
Congressman Sargent, Houghton and
Coghlan have incurred its extreme dis
pleasure, and the vials Of its wrath have
been emptied on their devoted heads.
So far, however, the Altd has succeeded
only in being parliamentary but not
severe. DigniGed rebuke is one thing
and bonn bastic abuse is quite another.
Not long since the Alta paid its respects
to the Legislators from the mining coun-
ties and insisted that the mountain in
terlopers " should be taught how utterly
Insignificant they were when compared
with the representatives of the seat OF
civilization, to-wit San Francisco. The
justness of this proposition struck US for
cibly at the time. What business has a
mountain interloper" to entertain an
opinion of his own when San Francisco
speaks? Let echo and the 1Ho Culifor-
MIA answer the question. We don't be-
lieve that either Sargent, Houghton or
Coghlan are flunkeys for anybody, and
that is more than we can say for the Alto.

A PoRTRA1T.-The Washington Re
pubLican has the cruelty to hold up TO
Senator Schurz life-like portrait of him
self, drawn with his own pen only few
years ago. 1t says
In 1868, when NJ. Schurz was running
for the U nited States Senate IN Missouri,
he was exceedingly anxious to heal the
differences and dissensiOns in the party
and was unsparing in his denunciatlohs
of the gentlemen who, like himself now
were then intriguing and cons.plrlng with
the enemy. The following Is what ne
wrote about them to the Hannibal COuF-
ier:
at frequently happens that men whose
personal expectations have been dlsap-
pointed magnify their grievances In their
own mind, and by assiduous persuasion
arrive finally at the conclusion that those
who have been more fortunate IN obtain
ing recognition by the party or in gaming
popular favor must necessarily be Dad or
unworthy men. Our watchtul opponents
are apt to take advantage of this sort OF
mental disposition, and to bend all thelr
energies upon fostering the elements OF
| discord. In this way men who original
| ~ mean 10 no IlSI III are ltu w S"-'fc.'',
with them in damaging the cause which
is entitled to their support. Every man
who has the least regard for the great OBJ
jects the Radical party is to achieve,
ought to be we'll on his guard in this re-
spect. To become tool in the hands OF
the common enemy is about the lowest
point OF political respectabllity a member
of the Radical party can reach in this
crisis"
Mr.. Schurz's portrait of himself has
the merit of rare fidelity and truth. 1t
would be hard to describe his own course
at the present time in more fitting Ian.
guage than that which he himself penned
four years ago. His personal grievances
and disappointmcnts have SO distorted hi;
political vision that he can see no good
in the Administration, and as it cannot
be broken down in any other way than
by the overthrow of the Republican par,
ty we find him "a tool in the hands OF
the common enemy, the lowest point of
political respectability that member
can reach in the present crisis"

CHANGED HANDs.-J. j. Keegan &
Co. have sold their interest in the Sacra-
mento Record to Captain Wood, of Val
lejo, and VIM. II. Mills, of Sacramento
We know of no other journal so much
enlarged and improved during the last
three years as the Record. The new pro-
prictors are gentlemen of experience and
means and the paper will lose nothing
under their management. 1t continues
as leading Republican paper, is favor
able to the denomination of Gen. Grant,
and announces complete independence of
railroad influence, as well as of every
controlling power outside of its ownership
and management.

A SHORT ARTICLE ON GRANT" The
Republicans are generally satisfied with
General Grants Administration, and in
clined to renew his lease of power. There
is a very general conviction that he is n
safe and prudent Executive. General
Grant has been not quite two years in
power. During those two years many
war clouds have loomed on the horizon,
yet peace with foreign nations and with
Indian tribes has been happily preserved.
The taxes have been largely reduced, yet
two hundred millions of the national
debt have been paid off and cancelled,
though we are paying one hundred mil
lions per annum interest, and thirty mil
lion per annum for pensions to the wild
ows and orphans Of our great struggle.
We doubt whether any Government ever
before devoted so large proportion Of
its annual incomes to the payment OF
debt He misunderstands human nature
who fancics that these facts will not tell
in a Presidential contest"
Lest it should be supposed that the fore
going are the utterances Of San organ,"
we may as we'll say that it is quoted from
leading article written by Horace Gree
ley himself, only IA few months ago, and
published in the Tribune. General Grant
has continued to keep "pcace with for
eign nntionso ~ and with "Indian tribes ~
to tighten the taxes and pay off the debt.
Consequently, he must still be worthy OF
the praises bestowed upon him in 1871.
How is that IN. Y. Times.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-05-04

THE Philadelphia Press thus truthfully
illustrates the attitude of the Democracy
in the impending political contest. We
wonder how our Democratic friends like
the picture, which they must admit as
true to the life. 1t says /: So There can
be no success for the anti-Grant combl-
nation without the full cooperation Of
the Democrats. They must supply the
most votes. They must come with such
solid capital as Maryland, Delaware,
Kentucky and Georgia. And yet they
are treated as if their association was
leprosy. They are kept in the back
ground like contingent of white slaves.
They dare not speak their real sentiments.
Their organs are muzzlcd. A choice be-
tween the candidates is denied to them.
They are to be disposed OF by their leaders
without reference to platform or candi-
dates. And all for what To elect one
Republican over another Republican.
There is humiliation in all this that
would make men less fastdious than
the old Democrats writhe. No aspirant
named has dared to recognize the Dem
ocrats save as so much material ready for
transfer. And the Democrats hardly
know to whom they are to be transferred.
All they know is, that it is to be to some
body who has been just as decided against
them as Grant. 1t is novel experiment,
to say the least Of it. And it is a danger
Gus one. Even if the Democratic mass
es dislike General Grant as intensely as
the men who are opposing him alone
through personal spite and disappoint-
ment-and such a thing is impossible
they cannot feel anything but contempt
for the timid leaders who assume to hold
them as so many chattel slaves, and are
nevertheless ashamed or afraid to say
word in favor of Democratic ideas. The
men who supported Seymour and Blair
in 1868 are, we think, not all willing to
go it blind for any Republican in 1872"

HERR ScHURz is properly appreciated
at the seat of the German Government as
will appear from the following extract
from leading Berlin paper of late date.
The hreuz says Schurz is hankerng
after notoriety, and is now making war
upon President Grant because the latter
has pursued a policy in Missouri that
Schurz thought injurious to his own in
fluence. The whole debate in the Amer
lcan Senate is destined to discredit the
Government in the eyes of the people as
it is also apparent that French emissaries
have their hands in it, for what purpose
it is easy for our readers to infer. We
think our Foreign Department acted
wisely in not involving itself in a quarrel
with the United States at time when
we were engaged in so terrible struggle;
the more so as there is no evidence what
ever, so far as we can see, that the Wash
ington Cabinet acted in bad faith to-
ward us.

VIvPARoUs PERCH.-Very rarely in
the streams or lakes of either the Allan
tic States or Europe, are fish found, which
produce their young in a living state.
But in precocious California, where in
the best regulated human households in
fants are born weighing twenty pounds
apiece, and triplets are not uncommon,
the archaeological family, occasionally
does give birth to living progeny. At
the Home Saloon may be seen some forty
or more infantile specimens of perch
taken from the bodies of two female fish.
They are large for their age, and AS per-
fectly formed as the fully grown perch.
Mr. Waugerman intends in few days
presenting these finny specimens, which
have never been spawned" to the Asso-
ciation of California Pioneers.-ApDeaI.

to reach Shasta early in the Fall, where
the depot for the shipment of goods will
remain all Winter, or until it reaches
