CALIFtbIlNIA gold.

Some Of our exchanges are annoyed at a
lecture delivered at Oakland, by "A self styled
Professor Carr, showing that the gold tax
en- from the mines of California has cost more
than it is worth. According to the mint re-
ports and Professor Blake at the Paris Ex-
position in 1868, with the receipts for the
last four years added, G. lifornia has yielded
81 ,010, ,270, ,962 from 1913 to 1872, inclu-
sive. If we estimate the average numbep of
miners at 30 600 IAN over estimate) for 23
years. and 800 days work to each year, at
So per day, double what they could have
earned any where else, we would still have
clear, in gold, from our mines, $3.50 ,270 ,962,
but work was only 81 so per day before
California opened this great field of labor,
and the mines must be credited with S3l0,.
500 600 for this, which makes the clear gain
on the gold side of 5000, 27O, 962. There
has been an average of s 200 900 of work
ing men in the United States for some %
years, and their wages were raised at least
one dollar per day by the discovery of gold
in California, and for this we must add to
the California gold side S53, $40, ,000, 600,
which makes the world owe California, ex-
elusive of all labor cost, the snug little sum
of $54 $40, 270, 1862. Now old Black is go
ing to answer Professor Carr, and we want
him to put these figures in. Professor Carr
had better quit lecturing and commence
whittling the little end of nothing and selling
the shaYings for kndling wood.

The rainfall at San Francisco and Auburn
is about the same, generally falling off in the
valleys and increas NJ in the foothills so as TO
give about the same amount of rain at ] 200
feet above tide-water as at it. In the above

Netting for winows ana Doors.

If we would have cool parlors, dining
rooms and kittens, and bedrooms, during
the hot summer weather, we must have
mosquito netting or wire gauze in all
windows, and, il possible, at the doors
also. Window blinds cannot take the
place Of netting or gauze, because they
exclude 50 much of the cool evening and
night air; although they are very essen
tial and needful to shut out the hot sun
shine and the beating storm, yet they
will not answer all our needs. Mosqui-
to netting can be purchased at very
cheap rate, and the ''gude mon" can
easily make or procure some frames to
fit all the windows, which can be either
painted or stained dark red to match
the sashes Of the window. Then dark
blue, pink, green, or white netting can
be easily stretched and tackled over them
by the skillful fingers Of the house-moth-
er; and after she mas used them for one
summer nothing could persuade her TO
go without them another season. They
will exclude mosquitoes, flies, moths and
all other insects, and will not exclude
the fresh cool air. They are very easily
taken out and put in; or they can be 50
arranged that the windows can be closed
on damp, cool days. Amy woman can
tack piece Of the netting across the
lower half of the window ON the outside
of the sash, if that is the only means she
can employ. The wire gauze requires a
workman's handling, and it can be made
into permanent shades which will with
stand all weathers. When we have tried
the good effect OF these shades, we must
also have the doors attended to. A
slight framework of pine can be made,
and fastened to the outer dooI-posts by
means of strong hinges; and with hasp
to fasten it with, ana handle to open
it by, we can bid defiance TO flies and
mosquitoes both by day and night.
Common tools and little ingenuity are
needed to prepare door blind, or shade
for tie outer kitchen piazza, which will
add far beyond its cost to the comfort
of the cook and housewife. Mosquito
netting can do duty for the shade when
the door frame is ready; but coarse wire
netting such as is used for selves and the
like, would be far preferable, BECAUSE
it would last for long time
while the cotton netting is usually de
stroyed in two years. III using the cot
ton netting, however, for the windows
it is well to select the pure white for the
parlor, pink for the chambers, and greer
or blue for the kitchen, pantry, am
milk j oom.- Country GentIemd1a.

A Strange Meeting.

In the New York Dispatch, of a re-
cent date, we find an incident growing
out of the Rebellion, under the above
heading, and the journal referred to re-
lates that how, Oh an evening or two
previous. good looking man, laborer
about thirty years of age, took the cars
at Center street depot, Newark, for
New York. There was but one vacant
seat in the car that he entered, and that
was by the side of a handsome and ele-
gantly dressed lady. The man sat
down, and, after his fair companion had
removed her vail, he was surprised to
recognize his wife, whom he had not
seen Tor more than twelve years. The
lady threw her arms around his neck
I'd kissed him tenderly, and mutual ex-
plantations followed.
1t seems that they had been married
Just before the breaking out of the war,
at the home of the lady in Missouri.
Her father was the owner of large
tract of land, but had only little mon
ey. He joined the rebel cause, and the
d lughter also strongly adhered to the
Unions of her father. Her husband,
however, was a decided Union man.
She abused him violently on account of
his principles, and told him if he sided
with the bloody Yankees he might
leave the place, and she never wished to
see his face again. He took her at her
word, and the same night left and join
ed Fremont's army as private. He
was several times taken prisoner, and as
often escaped into our lines. He press
| ed on with Sherman toward the sea-
and at the conclusion of his term of en-
listment he joined New York regiment
and by this means, at the end of the
war, found his way to Newark, where
he has since worked quietly in factory.
F. Ills wife's father was killed at Vicks-
burg, and she was left sole possessor of
his uncultivated farm. She supported
herself by working in millinery estab-
lishment in St. Louis till after the close
of the war; Her land rose in value,
and she sold it for good price, realizing
about $4,000. With this sum she start
ed millinery store of her own in st.
Louis, and succeeded splendidly. She
is reported worth $4,000 or $4,000.
She was on her way to New York to
buy goods when she met the man whom
she had supposed long ago dead. Re
morseless for driving him away, she re-
fused all offers of marriage. The joy
Gus meeting caused the husband to for
get his wife's error, and the present of a
new suit of clothes, a diamond ring and a
splendid gold watch, when they arrived
in New York, served materially to in
crease his respect and affection for Ii;
long lost wife. They are stopping at a
fashionable hotel, joyous over the acci'
dent that united them.

AIR BRAKEs.-The public will be in
terested in whatever adds to the conven-
ience and safety of travellers by rail.
Several trials have been lately made of
the improved Westingham brake on the
Pennsylvania railroad by Committee
of Science of the Franklin Institute,
near Philadelphia. The rusult was ev-
cry way satisfactory. Operated from
of thirty miles, was stopped in sixteen
seconds, moving sos feet after the brake
was applied. Operated from the centre
car, the trains stopped in fifteen seconds
within 5l5 feet. Acting anatomically
by severing, the train stopped in twelve
seconds within 500 feet. With the train
going forty miles an hour, the brake
was applied by severing the engine from
the train, and stoppage was effectnai in
ten seconds within 3l5 feet. Various
other experiments were made which
we're equally successful Woyres Acst.

Bayard Taylor writes to the Tribune
a more encouraging account of matters
and things at Vienna than we have been
accustomed to hear of late. He says ;
81 made a general tour of inspection
this afternoon, and satisfied myself that
by the end of the month very few of
the promised glories of the Exhibition
will fail Since the first confusion has
been overcome, the work will advance
more rapidly. The entire space occupied
by all the buildings must be more than
square mile, but nearly all of the de-
tached structures are under roof, many
of them quite completed externally, and
the removal of the rubbish will speedily
change the aspect of the grounds.
X In the half mile long build
ing for machinery there are only the
merest beginnings. A few colossal
groups of copper and steel work have
been erected; model locomotives and
passenger cars block up the aisle, boxes
with labels from all Europe and Ameri-
ca are piled around by thousands, but
no single steam engine has yet been SET
up. We shall hardly see any machinery
in operation for month to come. This
part of the Exposition, however, will
eventually far surpass any display of the
kind that has ever been made"
He also says that if America will only
be patient, she will find that in certain
departments her exhibited specimens
will "beat the world" We are glad
that SO favorable statement has been
made by so sensible and reliable an OBJ
server as Mr.. Taylor.

Jealousy Cured.

There is man in Titusville, Pa, who
is so affectionately fond of his wife that
he is jealous if man looks within forty
five degrees of the direction in which
she may happen to be. The other day a
gentleman spoke to her, and he immedi-
ately threatened suicide His wife was
sent for bottle of poison, which she
had put up at the druggists consisting
of a little water, colored with a little
liquorice, and bottled with glaring
poison label outside. When he threat
cned to take some of it, and actually
poured some of it into wine-glass, she
screamed for help and ran into another
room, where she could watch him through
the key-hole, and saw him coolly open
the window and throw it out.
She then rushed back, apparently fran
tic with grief, and implored him not to
do the rash deed. He merely pointed at
the glass, and lying down on the floor,
began kick out his legs like a jumping
jack. She told him she was determined
to share his fate, and swallowed the rest
of the liquorice water, whereupon he be
came really frightened, calling the neigh
bors confessed he only slammed, and
said that if she survived he would never
trouble her again. Then she explained
the ruse, and he was so mortified he
tried to buy up the silence of the neigh
bors, but the story was too good to keep
He is thoroughly cured.
