A Widows Mind is Set at Rest By the
Coroner.

The other day, says the Vicksburg
Herald, tall, thin woman from oyer

she found Coroner Blessing, whose re-
tiring disposition and prompt attention
TO business are certain to make him IA
nous all over the State within the
coming year, and, when she was certain
of her man, inquired:
Business amt driving now, is it?"
"Well, nothing to brag of. I get a

She heaved sigh, and continued:
''Sam is missing"

Plummer's California Fruit Drier.

This new invention is one OF great practical
importance to fruit growers, as this Fruit
Drier combines some advantages not embod-
led in any other. 1t consists of large drum
about five feet high and twenty four in diam
eter This drum contains first a hot air
chamber, which occupies about one foot in
height; it is perforated with holes which allow
the hot air to escape into the upper part of the
drum where the fruit is arranged on screens.
The floor of this upper chamber is covered
with about one thousand feet of iron pipe con-
tanning steam; the fruit is inserted at door on
the side of the drum, and when first put in is
placed between large amount of iron tubing
filled with steam, for the purpose of opening
the air-cells of the fruit and SO prepare it for
drying. As one row of drawers are inserted
the shelves within the drum are made to re-
volve, so that the dried fruit is taken out at
the place where it started When the fruit
has made one revolution in this large drum it
is dried and can be removed.
The distinctive feature of the machine con-
sists in the fact that the drying is done by hot
air combined nth steam. The great advantage
claimed for this is that il can be adapted to
any kind of fruit, some requiring more heat
than others Another advantage is that there
is no danger of burning the fruit. Apples can
be dried in from two to six hours, as the ope-
rator may desire. The heating is done bv
boiler, the same fire furnishing the hot air and
generating the steam. The engineer can reg
ulate tne degree OF neat ana amount OF steam
as may be desired. This engine also drives
fan for the purpose of keeping up a circu-
lation Of air, giving more or less draft as de-
sired
The advantages of this fruit drer are list
After the fruit is prepared it takes but two
men to tend it-one as engineer, and the other
to put in and take out the fruit.
2d-Convenience; as it is only five or six
feet high it can be placed under any ordinary
shed.
3d-Every machine is furnished with steam
boiler and five horse power engine, which can
be used to run any kind Of machinery; a pump
that can be used for irrigating purposes if de-
sired. 1t can be used when the drier is in
operation or separately, as may be needed
4th-The entire cost of engine and drier is
less than one-half the price of any other
drier of the same capacity.
5th-The advantage of combining steam
with hot air, as already mentioned.
6th-This drier can be attached to any steam
boiler and engine now in use, and two kinds
of business carried on at trifing expense, con-
sidering the advantages gained.

New Building on ssnsOme street. san
Fraucis~c.

Among the new buildings erected in San
Francisco during the past few months, prom
inent place should be given 10 the handsome
four-story building erected by the enterprising
firm Of Fechheimer, Goodkind n Co, manu-
facturers and importers Of Clothing, Nos. IL
and IS Sansome street. 1t has a frontage OF
40 feet and depth Of 90. providing abundant
accommodation for the storing and display OF
the immense stock of goods which this firm
keeps constantly on hand. 1t is built after
the style of Wholesale houses in New York,
and is provided with Hinkle's latest improved
elevator
This firm having determined when they de-
cided upon the construction of the building,
TO have not only one of the most handsome,
but also the most convenient wholesale CLOTH
ing warehouse on the Pacific Coast, so ordered
the internal arrangements a. TO cOmport best
with convenience and effect. All the floors
therefore are without division, and all the
goods are placed to the best advantage. The
basement is devoted to case goods and pack
ing; the first floor to pantaloons, diagonal
goods and oyercoats; the second story to cas-
simere suits and castor clothing; the third
story to Spring and Summer clothing, snd the
fourth to surplus goods. Each floor has uni
form features of finish and elegance, perfect
light and all the best modern convenience
desirable in the business. As TO the class of
goods composing the stock IL Is almost super
erogatory 10 say that there are in every de-

have always made it a point TO have their

claimed for them that they have long enjoyed
the reputation of not only keeping the finest
goods, but also the best fitting clothing man.
ufactured in the United States. They base
their claims well, too, for the firm has been Is
tablished in business in this city for the past
twelve years, has given the best possible
proofs OF fair dealing, integrity and enterprise,
has now the largest house in the city exclu-
sively devoted to gentlemen's and youths
clothing, has an establishment in New York
in which all the clothing is manufactured d.
rectly imports its foreign goods from the most
celebrated manufactures in Europe. has per-
fected arrangements in every branch Of its
business and commands vast circle Of pat
ronage that strongly influences the trade.
Thus, in the plainest terms the proprietors Of
the handsome new Sansome- street building
are well supported in their claims to be re
garded as deserving, TO a special extent, of

only reasonable to suppose that they will now
command greater prosperity than ever.-S. +

in westerly direction from Los Angeles and
about three miles distant from the limits OF
that beautiful city, contains 5000 acres OF
good, arabic valley land, large portion OF
which is choice bottom and well adapted to
the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits. Near
the highest elevation is a cluster of large
springs from which flows a stream of crystal
water several feet wide and six or eight inches
deep, which may be conducted to almost any
portion OF the rancho. On the adjoinin Q
ranches are strong flowing wells, and it is the
opinion Of Governor Downey, Mr.. Carey and
others, that artesian water can be readily Sc.
