A Hint for Projectors of Towns and
Streets.

1t is worthy of remark that the ar
ranging of streets according to the car
dinal points involves sanitary objec-
ton of no mean import. No fact is
better established than the necessity
of sunlight to health, and no constitu-
ton can long endure, without ill
effects the total privation Gifts health
giving power. Every house on the
South side of street running East
and West must have it's front rooms,
which are generally its living rooms,
entirely deprived of the sun during the
Winter, and for most of the day dur
ing the Simmer. This fact, coupled
with that of the indoor life of Ameri-
can, and particular Western women,
is enough to account for very large
share of the nervous debility which SO
generally nrevails. If the rectangular
system must be adhered to in city ar
rangement, it would be far better that
the lines of Streets should be North
west and Southeast, and the cross
streets at right angles with them, than
as now disposed; in this case, the
rooms in front or rear of a house enjoy
at least sunshine in the morning or af-
ternoon. A strong proof that sum
shine is wholesome is found in the
fact that during epidemics people oc-
cupying rooms not exposed to sum
light, are comparatively much. worse
or, than those who enjoy that bless

Uranus and its Satellites.

We recently called attention to the
unauthentic character of an announce
ment which was going the rounds of
the newspaper press respecting alleged
discoveries with the new telescope at
Washington. The story was to the
effect that the nOn-existance OF the
companion star of Proycon, and of all
except two of the satellites of Uranus,
had been determined by the new in
strument. We mentioned that at the
time of the alleged discoveries there
had been no opportunity suitable for
making such observations on those
celestial objects. We now have the
pleasure of announcing to our readers
the first important result obtained
from this instrument. Curiously
enough, it is just the reverse of the
pretended discoveries, so far as the
satellites of Uranus are concerned.
The real observations have resulted in
the re-discovery of the two smallest
moons of Uranus, which have been
not only distinctly seen on several
occasions, but have actually been
measured by Professor NewcOmb and
his assistant, Professor Il. S. Holden.
discovered by Sir William Herschel,
are well known objects, and can be
seen under favorable circumstances
with any telescope of twelve inches
aperture. Whether there were any
other satellites of Uranus was mat
ter of doubt among astronomers,
although the cOmpifers of schOol-books
have not hesitated to enumerate six
or eight moons for the planet, which
really has, SO far as known, only four
OF these the two smallest were first
discovered by Lassell, aboat twenty
years ago, through the fine instru-
ment attached to his private observa-
tory near Liverpool but his observa-
lions were very unsatisfactory
scarcely, indeed, determining the
exact number Of mOOns), and it was
not until he renewed his researches at
Malta that he obtained any accurate
indications. Since that time, and
until this re-discOvery, no one has seen
these satellites, and their detection
and accurate observation through the
Washington instrument is gratifying
evidence of it's superior power. 1t
may be here mentioned that at the
recent annual meeting of the Royal
Astronomical Society Of London the
gold medal of the Society was decreed
to Professor NewcOmb as testimonial
for his tables and researches upon the
planets Neptune and Uranus, publish

Col, Younger informs us that he has
made sale of fifteen head of his
purest blooded stock to Messrs. j. II.
Hall g. Co., to go to Yeddo, Japan.
The sale comprised "Glencoe," the
celebrated prize bull, that has taken
more and larger premiums than any
other bull i'm the State. "GlencOe" is
seven years old. There were three
yearling bulls, three cows, and three
two-year-old heifers. This is the larg.
est sale of the kind ever made on the
coast, and, from what we can learn of
The japanese, we think it is but an en-
tering wedge for future sales of fine
blooded stock. California has large
field to I'LL with good stock right at
home. There " no better climate in
which to produce fine stock; and with
the additional incentive of an active
foreign trade, we ought to become the
stock breeding country of the world.
Let every farmer consider his own best
interests in this important matter.

Mechanics State Council.

Last Thursday evening the Mechan-
ics' State Council met in San Fran
cisco; all the officers present. The
President reported that the Council
had been called together to consider
the fact that the Prison Committee
had reported against Patterson's bill
for abolishing the contract system at
the State Prison.
A preamble and resolutions were Of
fered, and after discussion and amend
ment were unanimously adopted, as
follows:
Whereas, The State Prison Com
mittee has reported against Patterson's
bill to prevent contracts for Prison
labor, and recommend that objection
able system for two years longer, we
feel it duty to give expression to the
opinion of our constituents; we esti-
mate Prison labor to be worth at least
81 % per day to the hand, and the
shop-room i'm the Prison at least fifty
cents, making each hand worth to the
contractor 81 Is per pay, for which he
pays but forty cents leaving the adj
vantage over private work at 81 35
per day; at this rate the contractors
annum on 600 hands, a sum that ought
to go into the State Treasury; such
competition with honest citizens is
unjust, demOralizing and injurious;
therefore
Resolved, l. That we earnestly re-
quest the Legislature, now in session,
to abolish the contract system at the
State Prison, and work the convicts
under and by virtue of the State au-
thority, at such labor as will not come
in competition with free manufacture
ers and mechanics.
=. That the branch prison at Folsom
offers the best means to remedy the
existing evil, by employing the con-
victs in quarrying granite for the
erection of prison, and for sale in
San Francisco and other cities of the
State, whereby convict labor will pro-
duce enough to make the State Prison
self-sustaining.
8. That we feel bound to support
those who support us, and not vote for
men who vote in the Legislature to
fasten upon us the contract system at
the State Prison.
4. That we will organize for the
purpose and follow up this question at
every election until the cause of COM
plaint be removed, and that we will
not be bound by party ties when we
have choice between our friends and
enemies.
5. That certified copy of these pro-
ceedings be sent to Hon. c. c. Terrill,
who is a member of this Council, and
request him to lay it before the San
Francisco delegation, and ask their
influence in favor of our wishes herein
expressed.

Ashes for Reviving Peach Trees.

S. ID. Pratt, of Penn Yam, New York,
in an article to the Farmers Club. N.
Y, upon his experience with peach
trees, says:
Remembering Prof. Liebig's theory,
that when vegetable is burned the
part which came from the air in the
process of it's growth returns to the at
mosphere, and the part which came
from the ground is reduced to ashes, 1
came to the conclusion that ashes
would be beneficial when applied to
the roots of the trees. They were
standing in soil strongly inclining to
clay, with turf around them which
had not been removed for several
years. After pruning them properly,
removing every indication of worms,
etc., and washing the body and
branches with soap-suds, began OPP
erations below-first removing the turf
about two feet around the tree; then,
with a garden-pick the ground was
lOosened from six to twelve inches in
depth, taking care not to injure the
large roots. Twenty or thirty quarts
of loose dirt were removed, leaving q
large cavity, shaped like saucer,
with the tree standing in the center.
About one pint Of unleached ashes was
sprinkled about the tree, and upon
this chip manure was placed, nearly
filling the cavity. Another pint Of
ashes was sprinkled upon the fertil-
izer, which was gently pressed down,
and the whole covered with the loose
dirt taken from the cavity, leaving
the surface nearly as it was, excepting
the turf. A young orchard was treated
in similar way. The effect was
wonderful. Plum trees that were Ego
ing to the bad" revived. Peach trees
that had presented small and shriveled
leaves threw out q luxuriant foliage,
cherry trees gave fruit larger and fairer
than ever before"

Objects of the Association.

CDJeCtS Oh the ASSOCIATION.
The object of the Association is to secure Pc
cuniary aid of $1,000 to the families or depend
ants of deceased members. This we accom-
plish In the most perfect and substantial man
ner, as has been substantiated within the last
few years by kindred societies; and that too,
with an expense so light that it has proved
not to be a burden upon its members, which
not only increases its popularity, but brings 1t
within reach of those most needing its protec-
ton and aid.
Any person, male or female, may become a
member of this association ii in good health
and over eighteen and under fifty years of age.
On proof of the death of a member of the
Association, his family or the person he has
appointed, receives Immediately from the AS
ISOLATION $4,000, or one dollar for each men,
Der in good standing, If the membership is not
full.
All surplus shall be loaned on good and suf-
fcient security ION real estate) to form "per-
manent reserve fund.-" the interest on which
annually reverts to members in the form of an
abatement of assessments.
In case of death, we send a notice to each
member. We shall have agents in each town
to receive the assessments and save members
the trouble of sending direct to the Secretary.
The Association, as well as its funds, is under
the control ola Board of eleven Directors, who
are elected annually by the members of
the Association 1t is also incorporated I'M
der the Civil Code of the State, which code
does not allow any funds to be used for pur-
poses other than set forth in the Bylaws,
while the Secretary and Treasurer are re-
qured to give heavy bonds for the faithful
performance of their duties.
The Officers and Directors Of the Association
receive no compensation whatever for their
services, except the Secretary, who Is simply
paid for keeping the books of the Association
and the Treasurer.
All members will be allowed the same inter
est on money standing to their credit that the
funds of the Association draw, and they can
deposit such amounts as they may desire on
advance payments or as an endowment fund
for future years without risk or forfeiture,
whether one or more deposit.
The Association is designed to save money
not to spend it. None will feel poorer for be-
longing to it, while many will bless the day
that their father, mother, husband, or brother
Joined it.
A payment by one of the following methods
is necessary in order to secure Il memberships:
