TIE BANK OF CALIFORNIA has had the
hi4hes. of all possible compliments paid
to it by the community which it serves.
Generally when bank suspends public
confidence is diminished, but in this case
it is increased, and when the Bank re-
opened yesterday the people were quite
as eager to deposit as to draw their
money. An institution thus sustained
cannot fail unless the people fail first
and that is the last of all things to be
expected from California. The rejoic-
ings in San Francisco yesterday are de-
scribed by our correspondent. and the
event was celebrated with as much en-
thusiasm as if it had been the glorious
Fourth -Nelc York Herald.

OK ITS LAST LEGs.-The San Francis
CO Chronicle having stated that the Bulle-
tin Was publishing advertisements gratu-
itously and for the sake Of keeping up
appearances, the Post, in series Of COM
ments upon the dying slanderer. says:
Under these circumstances it may be
predicted that tho Bulletin at least will
soon be offered for sale. It is sinking
money at such = rate now that nothing
less than bonanza mine could keep it
going. In fact We hear that the sale OF
tho Bulletin is already determined upon.
The excuse will be quarrel between the
confederates, the object being to get rid
Of the elephant at any price before it

American GIEL.-Of the mare, Amer
jean Girl, which fell down and died with
the harness on while trotting in . match
at Elmira, the New York Herald of Oc-
tober 3 says:
Elmira, n. Y, October 2, 1s75.-Ths
famous trotting mare American Girl
fell dead here this afternoon in the first
heat Of the free for all - race, on the
Elmira Driving Park. She was driven
by John L. Doty. and appeared at the
start to be in the very best condition.
The horses were scored . number of
times before they got the word. The
Girl at the first turn Was well in front,
but here her driver noticed that she ap-
peared to be giving out and let her head
loose. She kept staggering for an eighth
Of q mile, and at the quarter pole fell
and died instantly without struggle.
She dropped to the ground very easily,
with her shoulder against the fence.
The incident excited great deal Of SYM
patty, as the mare was . favorite here,
and had been the chief attraction for the
races to-day. A singular circumstance
in the matter was that from the grand
stand a rainbow could be seen, the end
of which appeared As if it fell upon the
head of the dying horse. The band
played funeral dirge as soon as the
death was made known. American Girl
was owned by William Lowell. of New
York, and was valued at $25, 900, which
sum had been offered for her only last
week. Ben Mace, it is said, was this
morning willing to give $40, 600 for her,
which was refused She was q hand

Her races have been without number,

from the mines, we will state, that Just
before the suspension of the Bank Of
California. Superintendent Crawford of
the Carson Mint purchased. on the au-
thority of the Director. bullion to the
amount of $5OO.OOO from the Virginia
agency of the Bank. When the sus-
pension came to delay the delivery Of
| this bullion, jabout $3.50. 900 of which
had been delivered before the Bank
closed, Director Linderman authorized
the purchasing by Mr.. Crawford of
$500, 900 more bullion for reduction at
this Mint, and $500, 900 for the Mint at
Philadelphia. Here then is an aggre-
gate o; 81. 800. coo of bullion purchased
under the authority OF the Treasury De-
partment, inside of two months. We
refer to these facts to show that General
La Grange cannot have departed very
far from the line of policy pursued by
the Mint Directory in any purchases of
bullion he may have made. Indeed,

ing other matters OF interest connected

The Superintendent was DESTROYS of re-
lieving the financial stringency so far as
the means at his command would per-
nit. Under the regulations, bullion de-
posts are paid for after their value has
been determined by Mint assay, or de-

Some San Francfsco Political Gossip.
The San Francisco Chronicle of
October 7 furnishes the following
scraps of political table talk over the
Federal offices held in that city:
Among the rumors current among
politicians about prospective changes
in the Federal offices of this city is
one to the effect that William Sher-
man. Assistant Treasurer, will short
~ be superseded by Thomas B.
Shannon, the present Collector.
Another is that I. G. Phelps will be
reappointed Collector of the port.
A change in the administration of the
Mint is also discussed. the report be-

O. H. La Grange, who has for
warded his resignation to Washing
ton. While nothing is positively
known about the Sub Treasuryship
and the Office of Collector of the
port, it is certain that the manage
ment of the Mint is to be changed.
Inquiries made by representatives of
the Chronicle with reference to this
have elected the following facts and
statements : General La Grange says
that during the past four years he
has frequently requested the Presi-
dent to relieve him, and that few
days ago he renewed his request
through Senator Sargent. The SEN
ator is on his way to Washington
and carries with him General La
Oranges resignation. Bernard |
Lande, the Superintendent chief |
clerk, who has handed La Grange his
resignation, i'll an interview with

made the following statement in re-
lation to the cause of the Superin-
tendents resignation and DR.. Lin

A Lesson From Cabbage.

Every one knows that cabbage will

also learned that this crop does the best
if hoed very early in the morning, while
the dew is on the ground. Hoeing later
in the day, when the dew has evapora-
ted, will not have the same effect. The
reasons appear to be these: The dew
being covered with soil, is retained, End

tair large amount of oxygen, which
it took from the air. These act to de-
compose the soil, and to hasten the
growth of plants. 1t alsorbs a large
quantity of ammonia, which is directly
taken up by the plants. Now the same
cause ought to produce the same effects
on other plants, and it has been found
by observing farmers that they do
Market gardeners prefer to have pota-
toes hoed either when the soil is wei
with dew or after slight rain.
Observations made by one of the besi
farmers in Wisconsin, extending
through many years, convinced him
that there was great advantage in plow'

How Scientific Farming Pays.

The Oxford, Maine, Democrat, con-
tains an interesting description of the
White Mountain Stock Farm, owned by
Judge Burbank, of Boston, who read law
with Daniel Webster, and now occupies
the same Office, although he spends much
of his time at the farm. He knows ev-
cry one of his animals by name, and is
thoroughly acquainted with everything
done on the farm, having a daily farm
report sent to him in Boston. lie il the
inventor of several farming implements,
and takes lively interest in everything
which affects farmers welfare. The
farm proper contains 900 acres; but in
Gliding pastures and woodland, he owns
$3.50 acres in all. Last year he cut $50
tons Of hay, nearly 175 of which was
consumed by his stock during the win
ter. The remainder were sold at the
highest market price. on account Of the
excellent manner in which IL had been
preserved The meadows from which n
great portion Of the hay is cut are as
smooth as a barn floor, and teams can be
driven over them with as little jolt ~
upon a country road. They extend to
the AndroRcoRgin, and are one and a
quarter miles in length. The whole farm
is one and three-quarter miles long.

The New Beecher Trial.

Mr.. Tilton was found in his study,
toiling over the manuscript of his new
novel. He was wrapped up in a velvet
dressing-gown, and vailed in by books
or ancient history. Before him was a
pretty bouquet. just over his inkstand
hung a bronze crucinx. His wife's pic
lures were in three places about the
room, and multitude of engravings
covered almost every inch of the wall
and filled up the eorne 4 He was taken
completely by surprise when asked for
information concerning his new trial
He has been working day and night ev-
er since the verdict has been rendered,
beginning his life WORK over. He has
neither talked nor read about the scan
dal. He was silent five minutes after he
received the information. Then he said:
Judge Morris returned from the coun-
try few days ago, ans, called on me in
the evening. We conversed for half an
hour, but nothing v e said about the
topic, and / have not seen him since. l
do not know what Mr.. Morris has dis
covered or what he has concluded to do. :"
Mr.. Tilton was unable to say whether
there had been new testimony put in the
hands of his counsel, or who his counsel
would be, or what was to be done either
one way or the other.
Mr.. Morris called on Mr.. Tilton later
and explained what he had done. In
the evening Mr. Morris said to a report
er that he concluded it was about time
to have the real issne tried, and. if poss-
ible, to find out in court of justice,
whether the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
had been guilty of adultery with Mrs
| Tilton. Almost everything else under
the sun had been tried except that. He
believed the new trial would take less
| than two weeks. as he expected to have
the evidence stripped to the simple facts
There were new witnesses to be intro.
duced, and new and important testimo-
ny to be given which would tend to
shorten the proceedings. He had no.
ticed the trial for September. but could
not tell what objections the other side
might urge, or What delay might occur
As to who the new counsel were to be hs

Origin Of the Coroner's Inquest.

A gentlewoman in England, after
burying six husbands, found a gentle
man hardy enough to make her a wife
once more. For several months their
happiness was mutual, circumstance
which seemed to pay no great eompli-
ment to the former partners of her bed,
who, as she said, had disgusted her with
their sottishness and irfdelity. In the
view of knowing the real character of
his smorous mate, the gentleman began
frequently to absent himself, to return
at late hours, and when he did return to
appear as if intoxicated. At first re-
proaches, but afterwards menaces were
the consequences of this conduct. The
gentleman persisted, and seemed every
day to become addicted to his bottle
One evening, when she imagined him
dead drunk, she unsewed leaden weight
from one of the sleeves of her gown, and
having melted it, she approached hei

and seized her, when, having procured

her six husbands we're dug up, and, a

Cherries HOmes-SOciaI Leanness
Of Farm Life,

The American farmer, in all his plan
made provision for life. He has only
considered the means of getting a liv-
ing. Everything outside of this-every-
thing relating to society and culture
has been steadily ignored. He gives
his children the advantages of schools,
not recognizing the fact that these very
advantages call into life a new set of so
cial wants. A bright, well educated
family, in lonely farm house, ia very
different material from a family brought
up IN ignorance. An American farmers
children, who have had a few terms at a
neighboring academy. resemble, in no
degree, the children of the European
peasant. They come home with new
ideas and new wants, and if there il no
provision made for these new wants,
and they find no opportunities for their
satisfaction, they will be ready, on reach
ing their maturity, to fly the farm and
seek the city.
If the American farmer wishes to
keep his children near him, he must
learn the difference between living and
getting a living; and we mistaSe him
and his grade of culture altogether if
he does not stop over this statement and
wonder what we mean by it, To get
living, to make money, to become "fore-
handed"-this is the whole of life to
agricultural muliitudes, discouraging
in their numbers, TO contemplate. To
them there is no difference between liv-
ing and getting living. Their whole
life consists in getting a living; and
when their families come back to them
! from their schooling, and find that, real
ly, this is the only pursuit that has any
recognition under the paternal roof, they
must go away. The boys push to the
center of the cities, and the girls follow
them if they can. A young man or a
young lady, raised to the point where
they apprehend the difference between
living and getting living, can never
be satisfied with the latter alone. Either
the farmers children must be kept igno-
rant, or provisions must be made for
their social wants. Brains and hearts
need food and clothing as well as bodies;
and those who have learned to recog-
nize brains and hearts as the best and
most important part Of their possessions.
will go where they can find the minis
try they need.
What is the remedy? How shall farm
ers manage to keep their children near
home? How can we discourage the in
finx of unnecessary-nay buriensome-
population into the cities? We answer:
By making agricultural society attract
i've. Fill the farm house with periodi-
Gals and books. Establish central read
ing rooms, or neighborhood clubs. En-
courage the social meetings Of the young.
Have concerts, lectures, amateur dra-
matte associations. Establish bright,
active social life, that shall give some
significance to labor Above all, build
az far as possible in villages. 1t IL

than to place ones self mile away from
