How successful the Oranges are in doing
away with middle men may be seen in the
little speculation Of sending grain to Europe
on their own account which the California
division of TIE order undertook through
their agents Messrs. Morgan & Sons. They
chartered eighty saips at from "a los TO SIS
sterling. But suddenly the price of grain fell
in Europe and then the Changers didn't
want to ship 1t. The result is the vessels are
lying at San Francisco, some under demur-
rage expenses and Messrs. Morgan & Sons
are not at all pleased with the prospect as
plenty of ships are now to be had for So to
So 10s,-a matter of $40 per ton difference,
which creates total difference on the whole
fleet of over million of dollars. California
Oranges after this experience will probably
conclude that it requires some skill to sell
wheat as well as TO raise it.

The Dictates of Common Sense.

Persons who in most things are prompt to obey the
dictates of common sense, too often neglect them
when they point to the necessity of promptly revival
izing the depleted body and the wearied mind. And
yet how foolish and dangerous it is to neglect such
monitions! Disease follows closely the track of
weakness and exhaustion Arrest his silent but rap
stride by prompt inauguration. The most reliable
agent that can be selected for this purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, palatable hygeian elixir
which possesses the true requisites Tor oning regu
lating and tranquilizing both body and mind, and
which is, besides the chosen remedy of the American
people for relieving weakness or disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, as well as the numerous
array of complaints which ultimately follow derange
ments of these organs. -..I

WE are confident that all friends of good
order and sobriety will heartily encourage the
temperance reform movement now quietly
going on in this city. Meetings are held in
some one of the church vestries every even
ing, and hundreds have already signed the
pledge, including many men who have long
been addicted to hard drinking. We may all
hope that the good work has but begun, and
that during the next few months the public
may realize some substantial results there
from. During the approaching winter there
will be much want and no little suffering in
our midst, but to what fraction it could be
reduced if the vice of intemperance could be
eliminated.
