Rich SPECIMENs.-He Engel came
in this morning, bringing with him some
rich specimens of gold bearing quartz
from his ledge on East Fork. They are
by far the richest pieces of quartz we
have ever seen here. Mr.. Engel also
had some ffty-odd ounces of retorted
gold, which he had obtained from thir-
teen tons of rock worked with an arastra
in rather a primitive manner. Trinity
county is full of quartz lodges, and there
is no reason why they canuot be made to
pay, as many of them are evidently rich
in gold.

Lake Michigan.

At the meeting of the Chicago Acade-
my of Sciences for April, Prof. L. A.
Andrews made a communication upon
the subject of river bottoms, with special
reference to the argument of Prof. Lap
ham that Lake Michigan must be con-
sidered as having formerly occupied a
lower level than at present, for the rea-
son that the rivers now running into the
lake have beds much deeper than the
lake bottom. This view, however, was
contested by DR.. Andrews, who stated
that the laws of carbohydrates in
volved precisely such a condition in
rapid streams with narrow banks
emptying into broad areas of tranquil
water. Prof. Andrews also made some
observations upon the mirage of Lake
Michigan, which appears whenever the
warm wind from either shore blows
over the cold water, the phenomenon
thus resulting, in his opinion, from the
fact that the heated stratum everything
the cold one next the water furnishes,
by the difference of refra ctive power, a
means of distorting the direction of the
rays of light emerging from one stratum
into the other.

NANCY JONES' BABY.
A California GuIch story.

The wind came bowling down the
mountain side, and with a hollow moan
rushed through the canons. The tall
pines tossed and bent their heads at
each rude blast of the storm. Masses
of black clouds hung like funeral pail
over the mountains, and the rain poured
down i'll torrents.
Rabbit creek bounded down its mar
row bed, carrying all before it, whirl-
ing and whiting like a huge serpent,
taking way with rapid leaps, bearing on
its fOaming bosom mass of rubbish.
Great logs and stumps of trees, caught
from their resting places on some hill
side, were borne on till lost to sight
Now and then sluice- box came floating
down until dashed to pieces against "a
, bowlder, telling of disaster to some poor
mine farther up the gulch. On, on,
swept the rushing waters, taking in
their rude embrace all that crossed the
path of their fury.
Sudden and awful had been the COM
ing of the storm, as if delay had
strength ened its power and given new
energy to its fierceness. Then came
the change from warmth to cold-from
rain to snow and soon the rugged hills
were clothed in white, and in the gulches
were piled huge drifts. The whirling
masses were borne on and scattered.
The trees were heavy with their burden,
and when some blast more rude than
Others stirred their branches, the CRATE
full limbs lifted their heads and tossed
about with Joy at their relief.
The town OF Rabbit Greek stand un-
sheltered on the hillsides, and in its
unprotected state had been exposed to
the fury of the storm. The small rude
houses were rocked by every blast till
they trembled on their slight founda-
Sions.
In the principal bar-room of the town
were gathered the greater part of the
male population. 1t was a large room,
with tables scattered around its sides I;
b IN the center stood billiard table, the
boast and pride of the proprietor, and
ne had often been heard TO say:
See that billiard table it cost
Iortun to set that ere piece of furniture
up In my saloon" And then, as sur
prise and wonder were depicted on the
lace OF his listener, the owner of that
ere table would give the astonishing
information that "she was packed across
the mountains on mule. 4"
In the corner stood the mammoth
stove, and alongside of it pile of logs

The Prevention OF Hog. Cholera.

The Rural World says that one of
the largest hog-breeders in Missouri,
who frequently has several hundred
head at once, never has any sick. he
gives them salt, just as he gives other
stock. In cooking food for hogs
which he does in large wooden boiler
holding thirty or forty bushels-he has
the Goals and ashes thrown in the boiler
and boiled with the food. He also
sometimes puts in salt and sulphur. His
hogs eat burnt charcoal as freely as
they do corn. They are sheltered from
the cold and storms by movable sheds.
Occasionally, he dissolves copperas
(sulphate of from in water, and mixes
it with their food. This destroys inter
nal worms and is also tonic. Hogs
are as subject to colds and pneumonia
as human beings. The internal organs
of the hog more closely resemble those
of man than any other animal.

CROP REVIEW.

Favorable Prospect for Cereals-The
Wheat Crop Generally Promising
Probabilities OF Heavy Year for Corn
Southern Tobacco Unfortunats-The
Cotton and Sugar Crops.
[From the New York Tribune, July 81
The winter wheat crop of the South
ern States is likely to be an average,
but this average is never high, though
the quality is next to the best. No
spring wheat is grown. Latest ac-
counts from California confirm the pre-
vious statements that the largest crop
ever raised on the coast is likely to be
produced this year. In Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Northern and Western I'LL
nois, Missouri and Wisconsin winter
wheat is generally equal to the average.
In some places winter-killing and extra
Goodwill sadly diminish the crop. This
means that the land has become poor
and that the farming is not high. In
many other places the crop Is repre-
sented as uncomn4only promising. The
stand of young clover in places is bad,
and the ground has been plowed and
put in corn. This fact also is one of
those which indicates that the soil is
growing poorer 1t is positively stated
that the spring wheat of Minnesota is
more forward than the same variety in
the older States, which seems probable,
as the land is fresh, naturally rich and
warm, and, being largely of sandy loan,
with abundant mixtures of humus,
is afforded. 1t is not improbable that
the yield this year will reach 30, 900, 600
bushels, against 21,000,000 in 1872.
Their corn crop is not 50 insignificant
as might be supposed, since in 1872 il
reached over 5000, 900 bushels, but in
comparison with Illinois, the banner
State for corn, it is certainly insignif-
cant, since that State produced in the
year just named 143, 100000 bushels.
Before speaking of the prospects of the
corn crop, it will be useful to consider
the following returns of the amount OF
corn raised in the several States fol
1872, whereby comparisons may be
made. Some fractions are omitted

The Worlds Coffee Cornered.

The remarkable rise in the price of
coffee, in the face of the abolition ofthe
tariff on that article, now turns out to
have been the result of vast specula-
tive combination, having its center in
Rotterdam, Antwerp end Hamburg.
From these cities the most elaborate
and ingenious calculations were circu-
lated, alleging short crops and increased
consumption. Meanwhile the ring kept
on buying and holding for high prices.
Late reports are TO the effect that $780,

more to arrive, and that the yield
everywhere will be enormous. Hosts
