NKw YORK DRY GooDs MARKET.-The mar
ket for cotton goods presented no features OF
special significance, and was quiet throug hout
The week. Prices of the most staple produc
lions were firmly maintained by Manufacturers
agents, and there was apparently a growing
tendency to higher figures, which would UNI
questionably be precipitated by anything like
an active demand for goods. Some makes of
cottoDs have materially accumulated within
the last few weeks, and it Is just possible that
IN order to close them out, agents may be in
duced to offer price concessions prior to estab-
l'shing rates for the coming season; but cases
81 this kind must be exceptional, as both cor
poTations and strong individual holders can
anoTd to wait the better market which is already
coming up. Woolien goods continued less ac-
tive than could have been wished, and the de-
msnd was spasmodic in character and un
evenly distributed. Business during the week
was light ana unimpoTtant with the importers,
hence extended comment In this col nection
would be snperfluous.- Ne,o Fork bulletin.
CALIFORNIA; GOLDEN SHOWER OF GRAIN
marvel over the University of the California
wheat crop, and this year we are still further
astounded by the Information that the crop of
1873 will be more than doubled. The area under
cultivation is upwards of 600 600 acres, 800 900
acres more than last year, and the yield Is ex-
trsordinarily fine. The total crop Is estim sted
at a minimum figure of 50, 900 900 bushels leav-
the greatest amount that California has ever
Furnished for expectation, more than all the
rest OF the United States exported last year and
twice as much As Russia exported from her
great grain districts on the Danube. Califor-
Mas gold yield Is mere trife compared with
this golden shower Of grain.

Literary and Musical.

Prof. Snyder is now in Los Angeles
with the purpose of forming an anna
teur class of our vocal talent and fur
nishing. at an early day, literary
and musical entertainment The Pro-
fessor comes here from Santa Barbara
where he has just concluded an enter
tainment similar to that which he de-
signs furnishing our citizens. The
Santa Barbara Press in commenting
OH his efforts in that place says: "The
thanks of this community are due to
Prof. Snyder for furnishing the lite
rary thread upon which the vocal
gems of our local amateur artists can
be as agreeably strung, as was the
case last evening at Lobero's Theatre.
Selections from the Pickwick Papers
and Widow Bedott were rendered by
the Professor in the most conscientious
manner and with excellent effect.
The singing of the lady volunteers was
highly enjoyable and warmly compile
mented by the heartiest calls for en-
cores and the vigorous oblatiOn of
bouquets at the feet of the charming
vocalists. 1t is the popular verdict
that home talent, in the musical way,
In far in excess of the average profess
sional sort that travels. The fact Is
something to be proud of and to enjoy
as often as we may"

- ~
When the curtains of twilight drop over the
earth,
Hiding all its trouble and strife,
And still with their shade the noisy mirth
And steal the care from our life
We love to yield to the magical power,
And wander with Thought through Fancy's
bower.
Careless of pleasures that are near or afar-
Forgetting this sad world below
We turn our eyes to yon bright evening star,
Watching its twinkle and glow;
Wheel on, brilliant worlds, in your circle
above,
Guided through space by the Father we
That Father, so great He can mark out your
path
so gentle He watches the bird
While man whispers to us of terrible wrath,
Through nature, loves accents are heard.
Then stop!-'ere you call down the vengeance
of Heaven,
And list to the voices that creep through the
even.
You teach uuto us this great love exceedeth
The love that's felt by mother;
You tell unto us the pity that pleadeth
For man as a long-lost brother
And then you turn round and condemn him
forever
And hurl him across the Plutonian river
Think you, should we wander through fields
Elysian,
And miss in that circle so bright
One form that was dear TO our earthly vision
That all of the angels in white
Could lift from our souls the shadow of sor-
row?
1t would rankle deep as poisoned arrow.
All! n true mothers love Is past all power
OF the tongue or pen to tell it;
Twill cling to her child till the last hour
All the world could not buy or sell 1t.
If this is so great, what must be that other
That reaches beyond the love of mother.
He came not down from Heaven to save the
pure,
But for those lost In vice and sin
For these the cross and shame he did endure
For these the crown of victory win.
If His nightly love hath not the power to
save
How many breaking hearts will last beyond
the grave?
When the pale boatman comes to row us DER
And we stand upon the border land,
Shall VIC not see, upon that distant shore
Our loved ones beckonineaaand3s- 3s--
Would 1t be Heaven If we knew they were
lost,
Although we joined the most seraphic host
We grope in darkness, searching for the light;
Then, Oh! coudemn not If ye see
A ray hid from the others in their night.
Our lives are full of mystery;
And only He who can unwind the skein
Can solve the mysteriesin life's mighty train.

Well Done.

1t will be remembered that some
time since an attempt was made to
rob the stage near San Bernardino,
and only by the pluck and presence of
mind of the driver, Thomas Peters,
were the highwaymen prevented from
accomplishing their purpose. When
ordered to halt, Mr.. Peters put his
horses to their best speed and effected
his escape, carrying off his passengers
and treasure in safety, although the
robbers fired upon him, killing one of
his horses. Yesterday Mr.. Pridham,
the agent for Wells, Fargo & Co. at
this place, started for San Bernardino
taking with him magnificent gold
watch, chain and key, worth probably
$300,as q present from theExpress Com
pany to Mr.. Peters, in consideration
of his meritorious conduct. With the
present, Mr.. Pridham took the follow
ing letter from the General Superin-
tendent of the Express Company:
OFFICE OF w. F. & Co.'s EXPRESS, l
San Francisco, Sept. II, 1874. !
Mr.. THos. PETERS, San Bernardino,
Cal.-Dear Sir: Your recent action in
protecting the express IS III Sucn
marked contrast to the nerveless tim
idity which has manifested itself in
some drivers under similar circum-
stances, that we beg leave to testify
our appreciation of your merit.
Accompanying this, by express, we
send q frst-class gold watch, chain
and key, with the following inscrip-
ton:
Presented to Thos. Peters, in rec
ognition of his courage and resolution
in protecting the express from high
waymen near San Bernardino, Cal,

for your prosperity and happiness.
