There are many curious facts a.
bout vegetable life. We can for ex.
ample, graft the apricot on the plumb
and the peach on the apricot, and
the almond on the peach, and thus
we may produce a tree with plum
root and almond leaves. The wood,
however, Of the stem viii consist of
four distinct varieties, though formed
from one continuous layer. Below
the almond wood and bark we shall
have perfect peach wood and bark
then perfect apricot wood and bark,
and at the bottom perfect plum wood
and bark. In this curious instance
we see the intimate correspondence
between the bark and the leaf, for
if we should remove the almond
branches we might cause the several
sorts of wood to develope buds and
leafy tWigs each of its own kind.
Each section of the compound stem
has its seat Of life in the cambium
layer, and the cambium of each re-
produces cells of it's own species ont

CALIFORNIA LETTER.
SToNEwALL MINE, San Diego Co.,
California, April ., 1874.

Ed. JOuTWal:-I have just been
reading the JOURNAL of March Goth,
and I assure you that there is moth
ing like our old home paper for in
teresting news. You have had 8
mild winter, while we have had the
hardest known for seven years past.
Our winters differ very much from
your's-hard with you means cold,
while with rs it means much rain.
We are seven Thousand feet above
the level of the sea. We have had
four months of rain and SNOW, but
in all that time the weather was not
cold enough to freeze ice to exceed
two inches thick, and the snow only
stayed on the valleys few days at
time. In San Diego City they had
green beans, peas and other vegeta-
bles all winter as usual.
Mining has been very much I'm
peded by the bad weather this win
ter, but spring has come upon US
with its usual beauty, and the thun-
der of our stamps" again make the
hills rlng as we gather our golden
bricks.
One excitement follows another
there as here, and with about the
same result. Some time ago the
Grangers were going to have free
passage and freight-They were 60
| ing to make railroads run at their
figures, and oppose capital in all
forms. They have succeeded in
soaring European capital from the
United States, and perhaps killed
for the present our Texas Pacific
Railroad. The millions yearly in
vested in our mines can now be
counted by hundreds. 1t will take
many years before California and
Nevada will recover from the dam
age caused by the raid against

The Shanghai Chamber Of Com
merce recently had under eonsidera-
ton the relative merits of English
and American cotton goods import
ed into China. The matter was
thoroughly investigated and discuss
ed, with highly instructive results.
Leading brands Of English and
American brown drills were weighed,
then washed out and weighed again,
and the differences noted. Theresult
was the discovery that the less by
washing of the English cottons aver
aged over thirty -four per cent. and Of
the American less than five per cent.
The English goods are filed with
clay sizing, in order TO increase the
weight and thickness. When washed
out, the apparently full bodied arti-
Gle becomes a thin peor-textured
stuff, gOod for little at the start and
rotting rapidly from the destructive
effects of the clay filing. Consider
ing the estimation in which Ameri-
can goods are held by the many who
believe nothing so perfect as English
manufactures, these statements Of
the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce
are both surprising and gratifying.

A Word about Sewing Machines

EDITOR FREMONT JoURYAL Il NAV, OF
may not be deemed eccentric in my notions,
but being somewhat devotee at the shrine Of
mechanical ingenuity, have long taken great
interest in Sewing Machines, and pride NY
self in a knowledge, to a considerable extent,
of most OF the machines at present in use.
True, there are many good ones, but my ex-
perience leads me Firmly to the conUietion
that your late excellent article on the HAmeri-
can Machine" represented by Mr.. E. II.
Harrington, 63 Madison street, Toledo, was
not only perfectly correct but even failed to
give the machine in question sufficient recon-
mendation in accordance with its many su-
perlative points Of excellence. I was, in
consequence of your article, lead to inspect
the machine thoroughly and find it simple,
durable, and always ready to work. The
simple manner in which the machine is thread
ed makes it easy of accomplishment by the
most inexperienced-there being no holes to
thread either above, or IN the shuttle. This
is an especial point of superiority over any
competing machine i1s the field. The shuttle
requiras no threading, being ready to work as
soon as the bobbin is placed in it. If the Ma
chine is accidently turned backward it does
no harm and breaks no thread or needle.
The "American" Is a new and successful
candidate Tor household favor, and although
recently introduced, it has become formida-
bic power in the race of Sewing Machine
Competition; and in Toledo and adjacent
markets it has attained a success and dignity
in the amount Of its sales equaIling the Oldest
machine manufactured. am informed by
the General Agent that there is in this vicini-
ty territory unoccupied, and liberal terms will
be given live man who will energeticalIy
represent the "American" in Fremont, upon
application to the Toledo office, as above.
Yours &c, JW.

small scale, while the poor Ignorant
devil that has joined in the crusade
against capital, is turned out of EN-.
)plOy, his family perhaps to suffer
for want Of bread because there is
no business doing. But he belongs
to the Oranges!
Next comes the Whisky Crusade.
We were promised in San Diego that
we should have our egg nOg, mint
ijulips and gin cocktails served up
with prayer wouldn't it be nice)
but the spjritUalists and acoman's
Fighters have taken the whole mat
ter in San Francisco into their own
hands and will not allow any man to
attend their meetings or assist them.
They will not even allow reporter
inside of their hall and it is extreme
ly doubtful if they would accept as
sistance from the blessed Savior,
simply because he was of the mas
culine gender. So I suppose the
excitement will soon run to q point
on this coast.
The law prohibits the promiscu-
Gus manufacture and sale of strych-
nine arsenic aand other poisons, and
as it is the duty of government to
protect its citizens against such
pOisons, it has always been a matter
of doubt in my mind whether gov
.ernment has a right to permit the
distilling and promiscuous sale of
poison just as deadly, and far more
disastrous and damning in its re-
suits. Alcohol just as surely kills
as arsenic, and carries the disaster
further-to the helpless wife and
children, spreading destruction all
around its votaries. But that gov
ernment can license the rum seller
to distribute this wretchedness, and
then protect women, or anybody
else in besiegiDg his rum shop until
he is compelled to shut up or abate
the nuisance is hardly fair, while it
is yet jingling his last quarters Ii
cense money in its pocket. If the
good women depended upon the help
OF God through prayer could not
such aid be brought to bear as eff
fectuany in their churches, as to
have respectable ladies tramping
through the streets visiting all the
haunts Of vice and infamy like a
band of lunatics fresh from an asy-
lum? It looks too much like the
Pharisee that prayed at the corner
of the streets. But excitement like
the smallpox must have its run.
The women of our city served no.
tices on some OF the rum shops but
failed to come to time from want of
cheek.
I shall watch the JOURNAL with
interest on the present excitement
as well as on other topics.

The never was time when our city was
so full of tramps. Every day they visit our
citizens begging for help or something to eat.
While it Is hard to turn them away it is
equally hard to be imposed upon 50 much and
our city authorities should adopt steps for
taking care of such parties, Occasionally
there is one who is willing to work, but the
great proportion are idle loungers who desire
only to subsist without work. One Of this
kind called on one Of our citizens few eve
nings ago, and begged to be allowed to stay
over night. He was furnished a bed and
breakfast and then offered dollar if he would
spade the garden, small one, but he indig-
nantly refused with a threat, and when he
had gone out threw stone through the
window, where the lady Of the house had
been sitting moment before. The only place
for such tramps is in the lookup, and the
proper treatment would be starvation diet uH-
til they learned that ''if a man will not work
neither shall he eat"

They've Quit Selling Liquor in Town.

They've Quit Selling Liquor in Town
Here's news for you, mother, the old farmer said
As he paused where his good wife was moulding
the bread;
! I've been talking awhile with our neighbOr Brown
And he says they've stopped selling liquor in town
just took Oft my hat and shouted huzza,
When he said men had TO live up TO the law;
And knew it would make your hear happy tc
know,
They have dried up the fountain of madness and
woe.
Now the town viii be peaceful once again,
And the streets won't be crowded with Wild
drunken men,
And the boys won't be tempted to smoke drink and
fight,
To gamble all day and carouse all night.
There's Jane, bless her heart, she will dance like
top,
For she can go back now and sew in the shop;
1t won't be unsafe for her now, I am sure,
For though she is thoughtless the chfd's heart is
pure.
You needn't buy things at the Corners no more,
For III send Sam TO town to the big dry. goods
store,
He won't come home drunk with the buggy broke
down,
For tell you they have stopped selling liquor in
town.
There's Jim, he won't study anddon'. take to work,
We can let him 90 now and hire out for clerk,
1t viii do the boy good, he'll find out it amt play,
And there amt any grog shops to lead him astray.
And there's little Peter, you know how he learns,
And how he saves every penny he earns,
To buy new book and the boys got plan
That he'll be lawyer when he is a man.
So if you are willing to venture, think
We will send him to town now, he won't learn to
drink.
They've got good school, and he'll learn very fast,
Pm glad they have stopped selling liquor at last.
He paused, and the wife of his youth made reply,
While Joy sent the tear drops like pearls from her
eye,
''Heaven bless the purc hearts that have put this
curse down;
Thank God they have quit selling liquor in town.

Potatoes Two Years Old.-E G.Gibb:
informs Us that he has in his possession some
early rose potatoes which he has kept over
two winters, and which are yet as hard and
sound as any Of the last years growth. They
had been placed under box in a dark corner
of his cellar, and on moving the box few
days ago were discovered. The cellar was
perfectly dry, and cool, and the potatoes had
lain in their hiding place through the past
season without even sproutiug. He has not
yet tested them by cooking to see if they re-
tain their favor. This is the only instance Of
the kind We are aware Of where the tubers
have beon kept for so long a time, but If
would indicate that with proper precaution
the early rose and all other potatoes, could be
kept in better condition than they generally
are and for longer tims.-MiEan .4dreyt;ser

of last week was well attended, especially in
the afternoon, and those present speak OF IT
as one of the most remarkable meetings ever
held in our city, The ladies still continue
their visiting and among the results may be
mentioned that nearly all the saloons are now
selling only by the quantity, and several have
discontinued the sale of liquor altogether,
still selling beer and ale. If nothing more
than this should be accomplished, it is great
thing for Fremont, but it is very evident the
