For a successful attempt to carry
water on both shoulders commend
us to the late Iowa convention OF
Independents. Read this resolu-
ton to Republicans "That the in
estimable right of life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness should be
secured to all men, without distinc-
ton of race, color, or nativity.
That the maintenance of these
principles is essential TO the pros
perity of our republican institu-
tions, and that to this end the Fed
eral Constitution, with all its amend-
ments, the rights of the States, and
the Union of the States must and
shall be preserved"
Then read the following 10 mig
ger-hating Democrats: "That the
maintenance inviolate of the rights
of the States. and especially of the
right of each State to order and
controlit its own domestic institutions
according to its own Judgement, ex-
clusively, is Indispensable TO that
balance of power on which the per-
lection and endurance of our politi-
cal fabric depends

day just as IL did twenty-five years

CONFERENCE.-The State OF
Maine has about bakers dozen OF
old line Democrats. They meet
annually and resoluie. They as
sembled on the ODD ult., and after
warming up" a littio passed some
resolutions condemning the Repub-
lican party. After their spree they
went home satisfied with them
selves and sat down 10 watch the
effect of their denunciations. The
sun continues to rise in the east
and set in the west. The Republic
can party is affected by such fulmi-
nations just about as much as the
civilized world is by Papal bull.

The eager orator took the stand,
In the cause of our great and happy land
He aired his own political views.
He told us all OF the latest news:
How the Boston folks one night took tea
Their grounds for sleeping il in the sea:
What u heap of Britons our fathers did
kill,
At the little skirmish of Bunker Hill;
He put us all in anxious doubt
AS To how that matter was coming out;
And when ut last he had fought us throi
To the bloodless year of 49,,
Twas the feryent hope of every one
That he, as well rs the war, was done.
But he continued to painfully soar
For something less than u century more;
Until at last he had fairly begun
The wars Of eighteen-siXty -One;
And never rested till meath the tree
That Swallowed the glory of Robert Lee,
And then he inquired, with martial frown,
Americans, must ace go dOt1Il?'
And as an answer from Heaven were sent,
The stand gave way, and down he went.
A singer or Two beneath him did drop
A big tat alderman fell atop;
And that was the way
Our orator lay,
Till we tished him out, On the eloquent
day.
That gave us
Hurry! HURRY! Murray,
With a clash Of arms, Pat. Henry would
say
our woray independence!

y Suggestion to the Board Of SUI
pervisors.

Perhaps it may not be amiss to sug-
gest to our Board of Supervisors that
it would be a good thing to establish
q county alms-house. A quarter Sec
ton Of land could be procured in some
eligible location, and suitable build
ings erected for a moderate sum.
Then we should have place of refuge
for those in need of assistance, where
everyone capable of performing any
kind of labor could have a chance to
help in earning their living. Proper
Is managed, such an institution
would furnish an economical and
effectual means of reaching the poor
and destitute. 1t would in a few
years become self-sustaining, and
our poor, instead of being a burden
10 the community, would be able to
earn their own living. In view of the
fact that the sick and destitute that
are constantly applying for aid are
from all parts of the Pacific Coast, and
many of the Eastern States, we think
it probable that the Legislature could
be easily prevailed upon to grant as
sistance In erecting the buildings.
Lavish sums have been expended by
the State In building asylums at Napa

The Wool.CroWore.

The adjourned meeting of the Wool
Growers Convention will be held at
the Courthouse to-day, converting at
eleven o'clock. The most important
matter that will come before the meet
ing is the report of the committee
appointed at the last meeting to draft
articles of association. The aim and
scope of this association will, however,
We take it, form the subject of discus

we will again urge upon the grow
ers the Importance of taking time by
the forelock, and in a measure prepar-
ing for the changed conditions that
are likely to effect the production of
wool in the future.
1t is essential to the success of our
wool interests that depot for the col
lection of the product of southern CAL
if0rnia shall be established. In con-
nection with this should be a securing

woods could be collected and graded.
They could be held here and attract
buyers, or through the association,
could be shipped to the East. Such an
arrangement would enable small
farmers to go into the production of
wool in connection with their other
business. BY raising alfalfa any
farmer can profitably keep small
band of sheep, and if improved breeds
are introduced, it only needs a reliable
home market to make the raising of
sheep by our small farmers one of the
most profitable adjuncts Of their bust
ness. 1t will depend largely on the
action of this Convention whether
these expectations will be realized.

Fun Ahead.

IL the following from the Turf, Field
and Farm is to be relied on, another
exciting race is on hand, and the nerve
of our champion horse is to be tried
again by Eastern stock. That paper
says:
1--WE are in receipt OF letter from
Homewood & Johnson, under date of
Westfield, n. Y, January 10th, who
seem to be considerably riled at the
structures of the California press in
noticing their challenge to Thad
Stevens. 1t appears these gentlemen
not only mean business but are deter
mined to beard the lion in his den.
They say: we have no desire to
make a reputation for our horse by
senseless puffery in newspaper,
neither have we desire to solicit pat
ronage on the Pacific Slope; but we do
want to beat Tbad Stevens, and calcu-
late to be able to do SO. AT least we
shall make the endeavOr, and with
this view will start for California with
our stable in June next, when we
shall show Treat and his newspaper
hackers that we mean business. We
have no wish to disparage the Cali
fornia horse Occident; but it will be
recollected that the Chronicle and
other local papers We're as enthusiastic
in his praise one time as they are now
of Thad Stevens; and yet he was
beaten to Il standstill by the two
Eastern mares, Goldsmith Maid and
Lucy. st. James, another Eastern
horse, has also beaten the crack trot-
tiers of the Pacific Coast; and we fur
thermore believe that Thad Stevens
would have been beaten in his great
race by both True Blue and Joe Dan
iels if they had been in proper condi-
ton, with anything like a fair show.
We are willing to take our chances
with George Treat, and will leave
with our stables for San Francisco
early in June, to try conclusions with
him.

our state University.

The world affords no wider field for
an intelligent and scientific farmer
than is found in California. The great
variety of soil and climate; the wide
range of productions, and the necessity
of irrigation, call for the exercise of
greater intelligence, and higher de-
gree of knowledge than agriculture
usually does in the Eastern States.
The culture of the grape, and its
manufacture into wine; the raising of
tobacco, silk, cotton, jute, the semi
tropical fruits and nuts, ALL to he en-
tirely successful require an acquaint-
ance with the character of our soil,
climate and conditions that can only
be gained by thorough, scientific
training. To give this training was
the avowed object in establishing the
state University. How far that object
has been attained the people of this
State we'll know. That the just ex-
pectations of the industrial classes,
those engaged in the mechanical arts,
Us we'll as the farmers, have been dis
appointed is evident to all. By the
influence of the Changers this matter
has been brought to the attention Of
the Legislature. The management OF
the University is to be Investigated,
and it is to be hoped that means will
be provided by which the original de-
sign of the institution will be carried
out. We want a college that will furn-
ish to the farmer, the mechanic and
the artisan of our State, the training
in his own peculiar field, that the pro-
fessional man receives for his calling.
There are unlimited possibilities ex-
isting in our fertile soil, and untold
wealth buried in our mountain ranges
The aid of science is demanded that
we may realize these grand POSSIBLE
tiles. The unframed abilities of our
industrial classes have accomplished
much, but with the assistance that Is
their due, they can effect great deal
more. Congress made its munificent
grant in the interest of the tOiling
millions, and not for the benefit of the
few whom wealth had already placed
beyond the need of assistance. Let us
have management of the University
that will make labor popular. Let the
poor but ambitious youth of our State
he encouraged to work their way
through the University, and let no
man be placed in a position connected
with it whose influence will not add
10 the dignity of labor.

and Stockton, but nothing has been
done for Southern California.
We cannot but think that il our SUI
pervisors would take the initiative,
they could secure ample assistance,
and that in few years an institution
that would be credit to our county
might be built up. Throughout the
East the policy of connecting aims
houses with a farm wherein the labor
of the inmates may be used to advan-
tage has met with universal success,
and has everywhere been adopted.
Let Los Angeles be the first to put
such an institution in working order
in this part of the State.

SALT FOR BUTTER. Never use anv but
the very best salt in your butter, and be
careful that you leave no Jumps OF
foreign matter in it. Sift it carefully
through a sieve. You will be surprised
at the amount Of dirt and foreign sub
stance you will find in salt that will ap-
pear on opening the bag, perfectly pure
and clean. In the country, when
weather is cold, use triAe less than
one ounce of salt to the pound of but
ter; in the spring, when butter is hard
er, if it is to be sold immediately this
proportion will do, but if your butter is
not to be used at once, putin one ounce
OF salt to one pound of butter, this be-
ing the proper proportion for a general
average. If your butter is to keep long
er than the usual time; that is. if it
should require to be packed solid or to
bepickled in rolls, it wants about one
pound of salt to fourteen pounds of but
ter,

How TO BUILD HoUsE.-A writer in
the Country Gentleman says: We will
suppose frame enclosed with clap
boards or siding ready for the mason
Have strips of an inch, or inch and a
quarter wide, sawed from any common
boards and nailed in the center, up and
down on the studding, upon which nail
a course of lathing. Let your mason
apply a =" scrach coat" of strong coarse
hair mortar from ceiling to floor with
out skip. When this is done let him
commence the lathing upon the face of
the studs in the usual way for the
regular side walls. 1t will be perceived
that this plan is upon the principle of
an ice-closet giving two air chambers,
cutting off all direct air currents, con-
shutting your rooms cooler in the sum-
mer and warmer in the winter. 1t is
cheaper than filling in with brick and
very much better"

CLEANLINEss.-A clean, fresh aired
sweet, cheerful, we'll arranged house,
exerts moral influence over its in
mates, and makes the members of a
family peaceable and considerate of
each others feelings and happiness.
The connection is obvious between the
state OF mind produced, and respect for
others, and for those higher duties and
obligations which no laws can enforce.
On the contrary, filthy, squalid nox-
ious dwelling in which none of the de-
cencies OF life are observed, contributes
to make the inhabitants selfish, SEN
sual, and regardless of the feelings of
Others, and the constant indulgence of
such passions renders them reckless and
brutal.
