SUCCESS CERTAIN.

The Independent movement in the county
Of Placer originated with the people; organ
ization was had through call of The joint
committee, and in convention assembled the
people themselves, and in their own way,
selected their standard-be The actua-
ting cause of the move was the same that
history records for thousands of years-op-
preston and misrule-that never was and
never will be long endured by manly race
knowing their rights and daring to maintain
them; and after having been deceived by
the manipulations of conventions and pro-
testations of fealty to their cause, the peo-
pie in this instance took the matter into
their own hands, and the fight TO- day is the
fight Of the people themselves proper.
Now, is there one amongst them dissatis-
fed with either the move, the convention or
the candidates? No people were ever actu-
yated by better motive; no convention was
ever more fairly conducted, and no better
ticket was ever placed before the voters Of
Placer. Hence it is that daily and almost
hourly the news reaches us, first from one
precinct and then from another, and 80 or
all over the county, that the people are ter
ribly in earnest, fully determined to finisf
this fight with clap of thunder, and tc
scatter to the four wipds Of heaven the last
relics of the enemies of ihe public good.

NEW CANDIDATES..

We promised last week to speak Of the
candidates nominated by the County Cen
trail Committee, for County Treasurer and
School Superintendent, in place of Messrs.
Wastier and Goodrich, declined.
FOR TREASURER.
The Committee nominated B. ID. Dunnam,
our present Sheriff, as candidate for the
office Of County Treasurer, and in doing so
they did well. Words are hardly ade-
quate to do justice to the character of Mr.
Dunnam, either IN the capacity of a private
citizen or public servant. Words of COM
mendation are but idle, when speaking of ii
man so we'll and faworably known as he is,
to the people of PLACER county. All the
good that can be said of any man, can we'll
be said of him. His perfect and reliable
honesty no one presumcs 10 doabt, and bis
efficiency is admitted by ALL lie is man
whom the people of Placer have delighted
to honor in the past, when great odfs were
against him, politically. IIe is known to be
a peoples man, of the people, aud for the
people, Independent in spirit, pure in mo-
tives, and free from monopoly or any other
dangerous or contaminating alliance, las Heav-
ems dew is free from harm. lie is pure,
independent, peoples man, placed on the
peoples Independent ticket, xsd we feel
sure, and proud to say, that every man
with an independent soul will be proud to
rally to his support.
FoR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
the Committee nominated j. A. Flcler.
We can say nothing of him, as we are not
placed in position to see him as Others do.
But being candidate before the people for
an important position, it is hoped the people
will investigate his merits and qualifications
and on election day, do honor to themselves
by voting for the man most worthy.

the rate Of vibration in the first agrees with

In this way mechanical disturbances, harm

ter bodies all too ready I move at the re-
quired rate, and sometimes beyond the sphere
OF their stability.
AT one time considerable annoyance was
experienced in one of the mills at Lowell, be-
cause the walls of the building and the
floors were violently shaken by the ma
chinery: so much so that, on certain days, a
pal! OF water would be nearly empted of its
contents, while on other days all would be
quiet. Upon invest CATION, it appeared that
the building shook in response to the motion
OF the machinery oLly when that L owed at a
particular rate, coiDciding with one of the
harihonlcS Oh tue SUI iuctufe, and the simple
remedy for the trouble consisted in making
the machinery move at little more or less
speed so as to put it out of time with the
building.
We can e'sily believe that; in many cases,
these violent Vibrations will looseh the ce-
ment, and derangc the walls of building, so
that it may afterwards fal under the pressure
of weight, which otherwise it was fully able
to bear, and at time. possibly, when the ma
chinery is not in motion; and this may have
SOMETHING to do with such accidents as that

A PERSIAN BLUNDER.--A comical story
comes from Paris, the authority being cor
respondent Of the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Shah of Persia, when in Paris
went to the Jardin des Plantes, and
was very much pleased with what he
saw there and with the courtesy of the di-
rectors; so much so, indeed, that he made
notes of the names Of the men of science,
with the view of remembering them in the
sense inwhich people who hope to get some
thing ask to be remembered The other
day his majesty's compliments arrived in the
shape cf ''lions" and ''guns' and other ''or-
ders," which count for a good deal in Persia.
Unhappily, the Persian monarch somewhat
dashed the pleasure of the "jecc rlted'' men
OF science by an awkward accident. He had
poted down the names Of Nj, NJ. Geoffrey. st.
Hilaire, Mime Edwards, and 0 her sayants:
but, in company with them, he had also writ
ten the names of some OF the ''exIinct ami.
mails" whose relics are preserved in the mu-
scum; and unlackly the two sets Of names
got mixed up together. So il happened that
when the men of science received Persian
decorations. so also did the megartherium,
the din Jtherium, and other "tearful wild
fowP' of the same character.

MANUFACTURES OF SPIRAL SPRINGS
Tie spiral springs used in mattresses are both
common and commonplace, but, wilhal, -
table as among the few manufactures that
have defed the introduction of machinery.
They are made by hand upon mandrel, hav-
ing form similar to that of the finished
spring, but longer and with less taper in
proportion to the length. The mandre has a
crank at one end, and is divi ed in the centre,
so that the two halves can be brought apart
to release the spring when finished. Tue op-
orator turns the crank with one hand; Uha
end OF the wire to be coiled is attached to one
extremity OF the mandrel, and the left hand
or the operator moves gradually along the
mandrel until it is wouni to the other end.
Here the wire is severed and the spring taken
OIL. 1t is then compressed endwise, which,
making it shorter, gives it greater ''set or
stiffness. All this is very simple, much more
so than many machine processes, nevertheless
out OF score of projected apparatus none has
answered the purpose. The reason is that by
no known process can the steel wire be made
OF uniform elasticity, and soft or inelastic
aspect, whitb would ruin the spring, can only
be detected by its sudden yielding, in the
hand Of the workman when W wnditg upon
the mandrel. s. tia. the remedy, if there is
one, lies rather with the chemist to provide
homogeneous, duct.le metal, than with the
mechal ician to furnish ingenious coiling de-
vices to curl the wire into springs.

CRAB RACES. A new sport has been inau-
gurated at Ostrnd, which, iesiuple enough
in itself, has the advantage common 10 most
sport of facilitating the circulation of loose
cash. 1t consists of crab races. Five or six
large crabs are placed IN line at IA distance
of some thirty yards from the sea, and kept
in position by finger laid on the back. On
the signal being given to let go, the crabs start
in their usual ungainy fashion TOR their ocean
home, and the first who reaches it WINS the
prize. A C alb named Gladiator has already
achieved great celebrity by his speedy method
of progression in lateral direction, anu has
already won more than five hundred francs
for his owner. One merit of this new style
Of racing is that it does not lend itself TO any
sophistries about ''improvlng the race
