covering ten acres
Hon. A. W. Ferguson aud SOD, of this
town, had in 1874 eighty acres of hops.
They weighed fifty eight thousand three
hundred and forty.iour lbs. They sold
for twenty.seven thousand five hundred
and pinety.fve dollars and ninety-seven
cents. They have added eighteen acres
to their yard the present year. They
probably have the largest in the United

EThe Tilton. Beecher scandal trial
was closed last Friday morning by the
discharge of the jury without agreement.
They had been eight days out, and it be-
came certainty to the minds Of every
body that verdict was impossible. The
jury stood nine for Beecher and three for
Titon. The scandal matters ought to
end here, but that much desired result is
not entirely certain. Mr.. Tilton could
have no hope Of securing a verdict if the
case were to be tried over again; besides
he has no money with which to make an.
other fight. The public mind is already
satiated with the disgusting details, and
those who could ever form an opinion up.
on the case have already done so. Mr.
Tilton early announced that all he wanted
was to get the facts before the public,
aud now that such a result has been at
tanned, he will not of course, desire to
carry the matter further. So the only
danger OF more discussions Of this filthy
scandal must be in the tendency to
statements danger which is great
but which all good people should pray
may be averted. AS to the merits of
the case just tried We have very little to
say. 1t eooms olear enough that oil tLoso
who commenced reading the testimony
with the assumption Of innocence on the
part Of the accused, us we are under obi.
cation to do, according to the laws Of ev.
idence and common sense, must have left
off at the close Of this six months trial
with the impression Of Mr. Beecher's in.
nocence. But, on the other band, if any
proceeded from the opening upon the
theory Of guilt, here has been nothing
ELECTED to prevent their holding the same
theory still. And in general, we conclude
that very few opinions have been changed
by the trial. 1t is now a solemn duty
the press owes 10 the country and human.
ity. to dry up the vile contagion by refus.
ing to spread it longer before the people.

SOMETHING ABOUT TIFF CHINESE
From an article published in the San
Francisco Bulletin we obtain some Gimp.
ses of the Monaghan which disclose some
fresh facts concerning him 1t appears
that the thieving propensities for which
the Chinese are noted result from the
opium eating habit rather than from any
other cause. Ninc.tenths of the race
living in San Francisco are opium eaters,
and such slaves OF the habit that they
will commit almost any crime which
promises to afford the means of gratiGca.
ton. This class have no ambition to re.
turn to China, and indeed, some of them
before leaving there were branded for
stealing, and bear marks which would
make return very unsatisfactory. The
Chinese as a race are inveterate fataists,
and among other curious ideas have an
idea that the shadow OF a new building
thrown upon an old building at any time
OF the day means some kind of misfortune
Tor the occupants Of the latter. As an
instance the case Of Chinese restaurant
is stated, to the fleet that higher build.
ing having been erected next door, bust
ness fell off, owing to natural causes, but
attributed by the Chinese to the shadow
thrown. The proprietor therefore cree.
ted high fence between the buildings to
receive the shadow, and it happened his
business revived at once.

A COMMON STORY OF CHINESE LIFE IN
SAN FRANoIsco. The police were called
upon again, to assist in breaking up the
ncfarious system Of bondage maintained
BY the Chinese in this city. The woman
applying for relief stated that her name
is Du Gin and that she has been kept IN.
dor restraint by an old bag residing on
jackson street. On Monday she was in.
formed that she was about to be sold to q
Chinaman residing in Oakland and would
be transferred across the bay during the
latter part Of the week, She quietly con.
fided the intelligence to her lover, one Lee
Qui, a manufacturer of moderate means,
and plan of escape was proposed The
scheme was detected by her owners, and
some time last evening, she was carried
from her place of abode on jackson street
to den near the foot of Commercial
street. Lee Qui, learning Of the fate OF
his intended, invoked the aid of Detec.
tive Jones and proceeding to the place
where she was then confined, secured her
release and removal to the city prison
Counselor Clark summoned court of in.
quiry to ascertain the true condition oil
affairs, and, becoming convinced that ar
attempt had been made to sell the wo.
man, informed the couple that if they
wished to be married Immediately an Of
icer would be detailed to see them prop
erly spliced. The suggestion was accept
ed with avidity, and within less than an
hour they were married by Justice Pen
ME. The woman was subsequently ad.
mitted to the Chinese mission, maintained
under the supervision of Rev. Otis Gibson
where she will remain until it is certain
that her former owners will give her nc
further trouble.
