Angora Goats.

Mr.. WILLIAM M. LANDRUM, of the
firm of LANDRUM & RODGERS, of Wat
sonville, Santa Cruz county, passed
this city yesterday with 1,025 Angora
goats of different grades that he is
taking to Guadalupe Island, which
lies some distance from the mainland
two hundred miles south of San Diego.
This island contains 166, 400 acres,
thirty-eight square miles of which are
covered with cedar timber and three
square miles with pine. In the cafions
and gulches grow great deal of palm.
The island is well adapted to goat or
sheep raising. 1t is owned by COM
pany, of which the firm named are
members. This company now have
10000 goats on the island. Mr.. LAM
DRUM is entitled to the credit of being
the pioneer thoroughbred Angora goat
breeder on the Pacific coast. He
brought two of these goats from Mis-
souri, across the plains in 1861, and he
now has at Watsonville two hundred
pure Angoras-about one-third of all
there is in the United States. The
band he is now driving south contains
different grades, from the nearly pure
Angora down to the almost common
goat. A few facts concerning the An
CORA goat and the value of its fleece
will be of interest. The ewes shear
about six pounds; seven pounds is the
extreme. The extreme weight of the
bucks fleece is ten pounds. The aver
age of the ewes fleece is four pounds,
and the average of the bucks six
pounds. There is no consumption of
this wool as yet on the Pacific coast,
but it readily sells in the East
at the following figures: Lowest grade,
24c@3Oc; second, 45c@4Sc; third, 65c;
pure select, 81 20. Fair average is
worth 81 per pound. The value of the
Angora goat, mixed and pure, is as
follows: Ewes, half-breed, 81; three
fourths, Sc; seven-eights. 50; finer
quality, $50; thoroughbred, from S120
to Sl75. Mixed bucks are worth about
$50, while the thoroughbreds sell at
from $50 to 5000 each. The Angora
goat is great deal harder than the
sheep. The climate of the Southern
Coast counties is especially adapted
to their culture. In Oregon, the An
CORA breeders have been especially
successful, and it is believed that that
State will become noted for its pro-
duction of mohair. TO those who con-
template entering into the business of
Angora goat breeding, tbs well to say
that an important feature of success is
to start in with pure males. The old
breeders find that all the improvement
comes from the males. Mohair-the
wool of the Angora goats used ex-
tensively in the manufacture of al
pacas, Irish poplins, and many other
classes of ladies' fine dress goods.
1t is also used in stripping
and figuring worsted goods. Nearly
all of the uchret or silk plush in the
market is made of mohair. In time
we shall have a factory at San Fran
cisco which will consume all the mo-
hair raised on the Pacific Coast.

The Courier Journal says:
It is the opinion of celebrated observer
that the population of a city may he
doubled within ten years by means Of one
distinguished, well conducted and widely
circulated newspaper.
We will add our own belief that if the
newspapers of city publish abroad all its
misfortunes as the means of invoking a
political overthrow of its government,
such press will in five years drive away
and repel population enough to build a
large city. In proof we cite the pub
lished ibels Of our own press on every
act Of the Republican administration of
the State and city, with the reputation we
have acquired abroad for violence, insol-
vency and general barbarism. The stag

TEE PROSPECT OF AN OVERFLOW.

| 4Ab AOCI AN Vfbn1 wv.
The continued rise of the waters in tn,
Mississippi makes the prospect of al
overflow anything but pleasant to thos.
who are threatened with submersion
Already portion Of the Inhabitants O.
Louisiana are suffering from actual inun
dation. New Orleans, city that has
long cherished due reverence for the
mighty power Of this vast channel as an
aid to commerce, now has reason to dread
it as an element of destruction. All along
its miles Of frontage on this vast river the
water has risen to the high water marks
| Of former years, and in several places it is
actually leaping over the levees, and flood
| ing portions of our streets. This condi-
| ii on Of affairs, while it is we'll calculated
to call in question the policy Of the levee
system that attempts to conine this
mighty river to given space, very clearly
proves the folly Of attempting to extend
this system by means of jetties at ,its
mouth.
1t is now SO plainly demonstrated that
the ar. of man is insufficient to control
the river at all times, that our men of
science are about to resort TO course
that nature will take if left to pursue her
own way, and that is to make sufficient
outlets to prevent overfows. In view of
the imminent danger to our city of an
overflow, it has already been suggested by
no less parsonage than NJ. JEFF Thomp-
son, the State Chief Engineer, as a means
Of relief, that an outlet OF sufficient ca
pacity be cut just this side of Lake Borgne
canal. This it is said, can be done at a
cost Of thirty thousand dollars. As the
distance from the mouth Of the canal,
commencing at the river, to the lake is
very short, it would require but little
labor and time to complete the outlet;
and when this is done, it is contended
there would be a sudden fall of
the river sufficient to relieve the city and
surrounding country from danger of inun-
dation. The only damage that would be
incurred in cutting this outlet, it is said,
would be sustained by the owners of what
are known as the Story and Knapp plan
tations, located in St. Bernard parish,
about ten miles below the city. If this is
the ase it would undoubtedly be better to
assist nature in finding an outlet than to
leave her to seek weak Joint in our
levee through which the river may break,
Of tie damage that will be
lone, and force an outlet.
The subject is one that requires the i'm
mediate attention of those in authority, |
is, if the river continues to rise, the dam
ger becomes more imminent, and delay |
nay prove fatal.
