Mr.. Raymond as a Reporter.

Ono of the most striking Instances OF
Mr.. Raymond's accuracy and rapidity
as a reporter occurred while he was
representing the Courier and Enquirer
at Washington. Mr.. Webster was to
make an important speech In the SEN
ate. Mr.. Raymond was present, aud
all the other papers were represented.
Looking ut the clock, 1t occurred to
him that the Senator would finish
about the hour of closing the mail. He
therefore prepared himself. Webster
began his speech. Raymond took
down every word In long hand; the
other reporters of course In short.
Webster, 1t Is true, was n slow, DELHI
crate speaker, but rs the average speed
OF an orators tongue Is six uttered 10
one carefully written word, I'LL read
ers can imagine the rapidity Of Ray
mond's writing. Webster finished. 1t
was nearly mail time. 1t would be
utterly impossible to write out the
speech for that mail, and that was the
mail to carry the speech. Raymond
looked at his notes aud again Mt the
clock. Rolling all up in an envelope,
including a private note to the foreman
OF the office, he dropped the parcel In
the editors bag. 1t reached the office
In Wall street, the copy was distribute
ell among the compositors, and the
whole speech appeared in the next
edition Of the Courier and Enquirer, to
tho dismay Of the other papers and the
chagrin of the reporters. Its accuracy
received the fullest Endorsement of Mr..
Webster.-Harper, for Mrch.

We are the Fair Sex"

A shot time since, when taking his
customary walk, attended by his suite,
tho Pope halted before an ayiary filled
with rare birds, amongst them u mag
niticent peacock, which, from his brill
liant scarlet plumage, has received the
soubriquet Of 1.-The CARDINAL The
bird, which Is quite tame, stepped
forth from his cage and advanced with
slow aud stately pace toward the
group, needless Of the injunction Of his
master: Come on don't keep the
Pope waiting" Arriving In front Of
the Holy Father, he stood still, with
head erect and conscious air, as II say

the hands Of the Pope, the peahen

cognizant OF her want Of brilliancy.
His Holiness, turning towards his
suite, observed: "Slnce there are no
ladies present, I may venture to call
your attention to the fact that In tho
entire animal trlbe, whether volatile,
quadruped Or reptile the male Is ever
the handsomer, 1t Is only In the hu-

palm of beauty, having the %pretension
to style themselves the fair sex;' but"

What Babies, Men and Women Weigh.

Somebody who has been studying
our weights" reports that, upon the
average, boys, at birth weigh a little
more, and girls a little less than six
pounds and u half. For the next IL
years, the two sexes continue nearly
equal In weight, but beyond that time
males acquire a decided preponder.
II Thus, young men Of 20 average
l42 pounds each. while young women
OF 20 average l27 pounds. Men reach
their heaviest bulk at about 80, when
their average Is about l52 pounds /; but
women slowly increase In weight until
80, when their average Is about l29
pounds. Taking men and women TO-
gether, their weight ut full growth
averages about twenty times as heavy
rs they were on the first day OF their
existence. Men range from l0S to 220
hounds (the Tlchborne claimant weighs
about $50 poundsl and women from So
to 2O7 pounds. The average weight Of
human nature, taking the average OF
all ages and conditions-nobles, clergy,
thinkers, maidens, boys, girls and ba-
bies, all included-is very nearly 100
pounds. These figures arc given in
avoirdupois weight; but the advo-

Storing Fruit in Truokee.
Messrs. Gould s. Co. Of SAINT. Clara,

Messrs. Gould s. Co. Of Santa Clara,
are extensively engaged in raising.
buying and selling Winter fruit. says
the Truckee Republican of March 9Th,
and shipping 1t across the continent to
Chicago aud New York. As the eli
mate of Santa Clara, San Francisco,
Sacramento Valley. and even the foot
hills Of the Coast Range and the Sierra
Nevada Is too warm for the preserva-
ton of Winter fruit, Messrs. Gould s.
Co. have located their principal store
house In Truckee, where the tempera-
ture In Winter is more favorable for
their business. Their store-house Is
built mostly Of brick. The building Is
100 feet long. SO feet wide by 10 in
depth. All tho available space Is fit
ted up with tiers OF open racks for
holding frait. They have now In their
store-house 5,400 boxes Of various
kinds Of Winter apples and about 500
boxes Of Winter pears. These boxes
hold 80 pounds net each, which makes
an aggregate Of 2s5, 600 pounds offruit.
The fruit, upon its arrival here In
boxes, is taken out carefully and
spread In the open racks. The temper
ature Of the store-house is kept very
low, averaging about 80 degrees Fab.
renheit. The maximum temperature
never exceeds 40 degrees, and the min
imum IS. At the latter temperature
water freezes, but the fruit does not.
The mean temperature, So, Is consld.
cred the best for preserving the fruit.
The varieties or apples are the New
town Pippin, Pearmain, Bellflower.
Baldwin, Spitzenburg, Rhode Island
Greetings and Swaar. The Newtown
Pippin keeps the best Of any. The
loss of the fruit stored here we are In
formed will not up to the first OF March
exceed five per cent. A portion of the
fruit Is sold In this vicinity, and the
principal towns In the State Of Neva-
ia, but the larger portion Is shipped
to supply the San Francisco market.
A few car loads are sent by rail to
Chicago and New York. Tho business
Is In Its infancy, but 1t Is Il success,
and bound to increase rapidly.

Mr.. EDIToR:-A writer in the PRESS of the
Dist inst in relation to disseminating High
street, recommends widening Maple street to
Danforth street, and then making an offset to
meet South street, which he would have contin-
ed to Danforth. To carry out this plan would
involve the necessity of removinga block of
two three story brick houses on Pleasant street.
He also suggests that the travel pass through
Brown street to reach Congress street, which
from Free street to Congress is not over twenty
five feet wide between the two rows of trees on
that street. This street has valuable brick
houses on both sides of it, which would make
it expensive widening it. If there should be
large loaded teams going through Brown street
and half dozen hacks loaded with passengers
from the depot wishing to go in an opposite di-
rectlon 1t would require very close attention to
avoid accidents.
was in that part of the city few days since
and examined the lay of the land in reference
to the discontinuance of High street. and am
fully of opinion that High street can be discon-
tinued, as proposed without serious damage to
the city or much inconvenience to persons re-
siding on it. Let Maple street be widened on the
sOutherly side of it from the proposed depot to
Danforth street, and on the northerly side of it
from Danforth to Pleasant street, which would
require only the removal of two ordinary wood
en- houses, and would make direct thorough
fare from Commercial to Pleasant street. Then
the travel could pass up Maple street to Pleas
ant, and up Pleasant to High at aDmuch easier
grade than it can 90 from Commercial street
directly up High to the intersection of Pleas

examine the premises will admit nv conclusion
to be correct, unless he has an axe to grind in
