PetroIi0polis.

In Pennsylvania the names Of Oil
City and Titusville are inseparably
connected with the development Of
petroleum, and the name at the head
of this article seems destined to take
a similar place in the history of Cali
fornia. Located, as it is, in the centre
Of the present scene of operations, 4
successful "strikc" at this time would
and the rush to Southern California
would astonish the Argonauts of '49.
San Fernando, the present terminus
of the railroad, is but eight miles from
Petroliopolis, and all passengers by
rail from San Francisco who pass
through daily in the stage, little
dream of the oleaginous wealth
stored up in the rocks beneath them.
Though nine years have passed since
the first discovery of oil was made in
California, no one knew or thought of
the numerous springs of oil in the
canon, scarcely a quarter of mile
from the pleasant station presided
over by the Messrs. Kraszynski, who
have made discoveries of numerous
oil springs and have secured u number
of the most desirable claims in the
District.
Those who are skeptical as to the
fact of the existence of oil and it's
quantity and quality, should every one
visit this region and satisfy himself
that he cannot benefit himself or the
county and State more than by assist
ing as far as possible in developing this
great interest. The owners of terri
tory ask that capitalists examine for
themselves, assured that no argu
ment will be SO convincing rs u sight
of these springs and their own judg-
ment, when the varied uses Of this ar
ticie are taken into consideration.
Among others, Capt. Nj. Kraszynski
will dispose of Il portion of his terri
tory, in order that the development OF
the remainder may be hastened.
Those desiring information may ad-
dress Capt. Kraszynski at Petroliopo-
lis, or H. A. Barclay, Los Angeles.

his table, the driver of his carriage,
and the servants who wait upon his
family and guests; he pays for what is
eaten and drank at his table. BY Gus
tom, it is expected of the President to
give State dinners; and in the course
of the year to entertain each member
of Congress, the Judges of the Courts,
the foreign Ministers, his Cabinet and
occasionally distinguished strangers
in all, probably five hundred persons.
If such dinners should cost ten dollars
for each person, $4,000 would cover
that expense. OF the $4,000 remain.
ing $4,000 ought to pay his other
family expenses. That would leave
him $4,000 per annum clear f.faa 50.
Now, what does experience show?
Let me state some instances: Mr.. Polk,
of Tennessee, (and while Mrs. Polk,
that accomplished lady, was in the
White House it was never more popu-
1ar), saved about $4,000 out OF four
years salaries-about $4,000 year,
Mr.. Pierce did the same. Mr..
Buchanan nearly the same. Mr.. Lin
coin, when elected President, was
worth about $4,000; and his estate
upon his death was worth about $780,
000 1t must be borne i'm mind, too,
that Mr.. Lincoln received his salary in
greenbacks, when they were not over
sixty cents in gold, and when prices
were highest. .,H
Mr.. Johnson saved from his salary
in three years and a half, $4,000 or
$4,000; and that, too, when green
backs were still ut n discount of twen-
ty-five per cent. And it must not be
forgotten, none of these Presidents
ever accepted presents. Mr.. Johnson
refused the present of carriage.
Whatever may be said in criticism of
Mr.. Johnson's public course, all par
ties agree that the White House was
never more gracefully kept and pre-
sided over than by his daughter, Mrs.
Patterson, perfect lady, and q model
of a Republican MISTRESS of the White
House.-FrOna q recent speech Of Mr..
DoohHle, Of Wisconsin,.

The Gay Case.

The important case of the City
against f. Gay & Co. was argued in
the District Court yesterday. The
suit was brought on an injunction to
restrain the defendants from continu-
ing the construction of the Main street
sewer The City Attorney represented
the city and the defendants attorneys
were Judge King and Judge Brunson.
The defense argued that a legal COM
tract had been entered into by the city
with e. Gay & Co. for the construc-
tion of the sewer in the following
manner: The Council first advertised
for bids to construct the Main street
sewer; e. Gay II Co. responded to the
advertisement and presented bid
which was accepted by the City Coun-
ell under certain conditions. 1t was
claimed that the mere acceptance of
this bid, recorded in the minutes of
the Council and signed by its Presi-
dent, constituted contract. The
specifications We're furnished, the bid
accepted and the price agreed upon, all
making an agreement equally binding
upon the part of f.. Gay q Co. and of
the city. The counsel also claimed
that the construction of the sewer
could not be nuisance according to
the allegation of the complaint, as a
sewer is an improvement of public ne
cessity, and although some temporary
inconvenience might result, still it
could not be avoided in any public
work. On the other hand,
the City Attorney argued that
the acceptance of Gay & Co.'S bid
and the record of the same entered in
the minutes of the Common Council
did not, and could not form contract
binding upon the city. The city
charter provides that any contract
made on the part of the city amount
Ing to $500 or upwards shall be in
writing and signed by the Mayor, or
some person designated for the pur-
pose. Such contract had not been
made, and furthermore,th the work thus
far done Oh the sewer had been con-
tinued against the remonstrance and
expressed prohibition of the city au-
thorities. He claimed that if Gay &
Co. were justified in the work which
they had done without show Of au-
thority, the same right extended to
every citizen who might choose to OBJ
struct public thoroughfare The ar
guments on both sides were well sup
ported and urged with considerable
tact. The case was finally submitted
to the Court and decision will prob
ably be rendered to-day. The result
Of the of the trial will be looked for
with much interest. 1t will be of i'm
mense Importance to the city as pre-
cedent as we'll as in the amount of the
contract itself which is over five
thousand dollars with q large sum i'm
addition by way OF possible costs and
damages. fen|..ii v aaH ID,

Coffee and milk.

Several years ago foreign chemist
"a German, if we remember right
advanced the theory that coffee is not
often injurious unless taken with
milk. OF course there are exceptional
cases in which it does not agree with a
person in any form, but as a rule it is
its combination with milk that troub-
les the digestive organs. There may
be some grounds for this opinion. We
have known of at least two persons
who were obliged to give up the use.
of coffee which they had always taken
with milk, and who were led to try
the experiment OF drinking it without
milk. After using the cafe noir for u
year or more they found that it agrees.
with them perfectly, but single cup
of cafe az l0H brings back the old di-
gestive difficulties. We refer to these
cases because we see that M. March
and, chemist of Fecamp, has recent
ly come to a similar conclusion con-
cerning the mixture of coffee and
milk. He does not appear to be aware
that the idea is not u new one, but it
is nothing strange for q Frenchman to
be ignorant of scientific researches in
other countries. GaHgnanPS MeSSen-
ger gives the following summary ofM.
Marchand'S communication to the
Journal des Conn0iss0nces Mcdicdies
on the subject in question: "Nlilll
taken alone is acknowledged to be one
of the most valuable ailments known,
suitable to all ages and constitutions,
and emineutly digestible except in
certain morbid cases. Coffee, on the
other hand, is in itself an excellent
fonic and stimulant, which favors di-
4
two beverages are mixed together as
is universally the case at breakfast on
the Continent, and pretty frequently
so in England, chemical change
takes place, producing new agent
that is utterly indigestible, and there
fore absolutely incapable of assimila-
ton when the mixture is affected in
proper proportions. Thus, when q
customer enters II coffee-hOuse, calls
for his cafe du ldit and tells the wait
er how much milk he wants in it, he is
simply deciding how much money he
chooses to waste on Il useless COM
pound, and how little nourishment he
is resolved to take. 70 understand
this, let US understand that the skin
of animals may be boiled down so as
to become an eatable substances; but
that the same skins taken to the tam
yard may be converted in an impu-
trescible article, which will defy all the
power of the gastric juice to extract
any nutritive matter therefrom, Now,
all prOteine substances, brought into
contact with tanin, will behave in the
same way us the skin; they will COM
bine with the tanin, and resist diges-
tion as well rs puterfaction. The in
fusion of coffee intended for ingeStion
is extremely rich in tannin; conse-
quently when brought into contact
with the albumen and caseine con-
tanned in milk, it, will instantly trans
form these ingredients into an insolu-
BILE leather; the only difference being,
that this coriaceous substance will be
in the shape of an inpalpable powder,
instead of forming II continuous sheet.
This inert precipitate will remain in
the stomach until carried off by other
food, producing no other effect save
that of impeding the full action of the
gastric juice"

TWenfy-one Years Ago.

A friend, one of the oldest inhabi-
tants," has loaned us copy of the
Star, bearing date of May 2lst, 1858.
From it we extract the following curl
Gus bit of history: ga mule express
arrived late last night with returns of
the election held in San Pedro on the
18th instant. The bad state OF the
roads incident to the late heavy rains
prevented the express from coming
through in the usual time. The strife
between the two opposing candidates
for Mayor, we learn, has been very
exciting, and it was feared that scenes
of violence and bloodshed would re-
suit at the polls, but an extra police
was in attendance, by order of the
city authorities, and happily nothing
occurred to interrupt the peaceful
progress Of the election. The follow
Ing are the official returns: For Mayor,
w. p. Banning, 1903; for Mayor, G. G.
Alexander, 102; majority for Banning,
/; whole Whig gain since 1852, |.
The Mayor-elect has expressed him.
self in favor of extending the city
front. His adversary opposed the
measure on the gronnd that the front
is pretty tolerably extended already.

in perfect order, in all their details at
public expense; stewards, doOr-keep-

the furniture, carpets, beds, tables, to
the minutest things which convent

whole establishment is also warmed

The Democratic Victory and the Price Of
Butter,

We heard story yesterday in regard
to a confiding Democrat-an honest,
simple minded laborer. He attended
q number of political meetings during
the campaign Just closed and swal-
lowed with unquestiomng faith all the
Democratic orators told him as to the
intimate relation existing between
hard times and Republican rule, and,
of course, drew the inference that the
election of Mr.. Tilden meant times
just the opposite of hard. Yesterday
morning, having mastered the cleo
ton news, he seized plate handed
him by his esteemed helpmate, and,
in accordance with her request, hied
him to neighboring grocery-store
and requested to be served with II
couple OF pounds of their best butter.
The energetic and urbane clerk in at
tendance lost no time in placing it
upon the proffered plate. Then, while
he was in the act of laying q delicate
sheet OF white paper OH the top of the
butter to protect it from dust on its
way to its destination, the purchaser
asked what there was to pay. The
energetic and urbane young clerk, who
was quick at figures replied:
"TwO pounds at forty-eight cents u
pound-ninety-si cents.n
AT these words the face of the Gus
toner, which up to this point had been
wreathed with the smiles which the
election news had invoked, became
overspread with an expression of as
tonishment and anger. For u mo-
ment or so his emotion rendered him
speechless, and then in loud voice he
broke forth: -af
"Forty ate cints! Oh, musha,
musha! The divil fly away wild ye;
wasn't that what We was after chargin'
me Munda?"
The urbanc clerk explained that his
customer was right; that he had been
charged forty-eight cents per pound
for the best butter on Monday and the
