DEcALCoMANIE,-Ths is the name of a com
paratively new art that is attracting consider
able attention at the present time. Iteonsists
in transferring pictures which have been
printed upon paper in high and beautiful col
ors to any object one may wish to ornament
such as fans, work boxes, vases, flower pots
articles of furniture, &c. When transferred
these pictures look as if painted upon tho ar
ticle ornamented, and hey are much more
attractive and beautiful than they would be if
painted with "A brush, unless executed by
very skillful artist indeed this beautiful art
offers complete substitute for the process of
hand painting for most purposes. The pic
lures embrace great variety Of bjects, such
as heads, landscapes, animals insects, flowers
comic figures &c. The art is easily acquired
and children soon become experts. Transfer
ring these pictures is charming pastime for
old or young, and serves to cultivate a taste
for the beautiful. We have received from j
j.. Patton ~ Co.. l62 William Street, New York,
who are dealers in transfer pictures, some
handsome samples of their goods. These gem
tlemen will, for the small sum of ten cents
send full instructions in this beautiful art
together with ten handsome samples of their
pictures or for fifty cents they will send one
hundred attractive pictures.

SACRAMENTo, Dec. 2lst, 1915.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 21st, 1879.
The Legislature has now laid out work
enough to warrant the people to be con-
stantly upon the alert or legislation will
be had over which there will be growing.
LISA bIundering Legislature and has
already made DIunders OF which the more
intelligent members are ashamed nota-
bly, witness the failure to swear IN the
Governor in joint convention the hasty
action concerning school books, now to
be reconsidered the blunders in regard
to postage, etc. The Senate has settled
the chaplancy question and goes to work
now without invocation and the gentle
men Of the white neck-ties mourn for the
per diem they lost. The Assembly has old
fashioned orthodox prayers daily from u
clerical brother who prays " that we may
/ be saved ilttO Heaven"
"RoTTEN AND UNsOUND."
Pullen, of San Francisco, in the House
has blundered like most of his brethren
and in preamble to resolutions Of inquiry
concerning unseaworthy ships, has com
mitted bull that has brought out hearty
laughter on grave subject. His whereas
reads that ships go to sea from the port
of San francisco, conveying passengers
that are rotten and unseawOrthy." Poor
passengers thus to have the cover pulled
legisatively from their damaged cOndi
tion. About $500 of time has been con
sumed in the Assembly, over bill to al
low Tehama county to pay teacher whC
| taught for it, without the certificate tn,
law requires. The bill passed, but only
after a hard fight. The excuse was tina
when the teacher was employed no othe
could be had, and that he held ample Ger
tifcates from educational districts bu
none from our State, and there was nc
board in session to examine him. The
law prohibits payment to any one not
holding certificate issued in California
From the debate | incline to the opinion
that the Assembly was right, but it wa
bad precedent nevertheless.
PROPOSED AND ACTUAL LEGISLATION
A bill to prevent County Judges from
practicing in the District Courts has bee
offered. Why, no one says. Count.
Judges salaries are now so low that it
with difficulty really competent men ca
be had, and this bill, if it becomes law
will make it harder still to secure qualfe
judges. The Jurisdictions Of these court
are distinct, and there seem no good rea
son for the law proposed.
In the Senate bill to allow $50 900 t
aid exhibitors of California products q
the Centennial. 1t has awakened oppc
sition. The issues are. Has not tn
State a right to use public money to Ell
courage immigration aud benefit tn
State, and is not this measure for thi
end ? If it can consttutionally use $50
000 for the Centennial, it has the right t
use 500, 900, or 81 600, 900, or all the put
lie money in the State strong box. Thes
are grave considerations. Lawyers al
most to man agree that the Legislatur
has not the power under the Constituto
to appropriate the money. If this be SC
the same reason will defeat, and ough
to, half the usual charities, donations
ETC., of the Legislature.

A LOT OF MEASURES.


A bill is in to reducee the salary Of the
Secretary Of the Governor from 5000 to
$50 per month, and other State clerical
employees also, but they will not pass
the Democracy in the lobby can't permit
it. Right here let me note that the lobby
is daily growing stronger and more bold.
Before the session closes shall have
strange tales to tell Of that same lobby if
| mistake not.
Among the most prominent legislative
suggestions thus far are these:
To give San Francisco S25, 600 of the
peoples money to get up big Fourth of
July celebration in 1876. Brass and i'm
pudence this. IT she wants to celebrate
let her do it alone. She'll make money
out Of the crowd anyhow.
COlusa county wants no-tence law.
An irrigation system has been pro-
posed and referred. 1t is for irrigation
districts, water condemnation and the
expenses a lien on all lands in the bene-
fitted districts.
An act to abolish wife beaters by sixty
ashes on the bare back at the public
whipping post. Senator Roach, of San
francisco, is :he father of this bill.
To permit charitable corporations to
elect fifty directors. Passed the Senate.
An act to amend an act prescribing the
manner Of apportoning school moneys
IN Sisklyou, Modoc and Sonoma counties.
To make all street railroads accept
each others tickets.
To authorize Modoc county to issue
bonds for the erection of a Jail.
10 establish State relormatory, that
neophytes in crime may be separated
from old criminals. A good bill and
ought to pass. A concurrent resolution.
To prohibit the sale of liquors in the
Capitol building and on the Capitol
grounds. This has passed both houses.
You will remember what l told YOU of
ManiX and Brady, of San Francisco.
having opened rum-mill in the base
ment of the Capitol building. Their
game is now ended.
Abolishing the State Marine Board.
Passed by the Senate. This board has
been n useless member ever since the
United States established the office of
Shipping Commissioners. The abolition
saves San Francisco 81, 900 month be-
sides office expenses.
Passed the Senate, a bill to permit the
killing of seals near San Francisco. You
will remember that the Fish Commis.
sioners asked for this bill on the allegation
that the seals at Seal Rock, near the
Golden Gate, consume the fresh run Of
salmon to the tuns of Sl,0OO,O00 worth
annually. Heretofore the law prohibited
the killing of these seals.

New York, Aug 13.-The arrest OF parties
implicated in the forgery of the California and
Oregon Railroad bonds proves to be extremely
important. The prisoners are Geo. H. Haze
ated $50, 900 worth of forged Wabash bonds;
George Marshall and William Rea, who, the
police, say are well known dealers in forged
bonds, and Edward Hall. The last arrest Is
considered one of the most important yet
made, as he is believed to be the head of a band
of bond counterfeiters who not long ago en-
deavored to flood the city with forged Erie,
city and water loan bonds. These are the same
persons who negotiated some New York Cent
raj real estate bonds believed to be worthless.

freight yard of the Fitchburgs Railroad at
Charestown.
The engineer, fireman and brakeman were

serious injury. Brakeman Edward Hackett
was thrown to the ground and terribly scalded,
He may recover. Cause of explosion not ascer-
tanned. Engine was thought to be in A. order.
Theforce of explosion was very great, and seems
miraculous there was no loss of life. ..s -.t
Piece of boiler weighing some 200 lbs. was
blown through the side of a wooden wall of the
freight house some 20 feet distant, in which
of whom escaped injury. Rails were torn from
the track beside Che engine, and bent as though
made of lead. One rail was carried some Is
feet and forced through the wall of the freight
depot On the track tbesde the engine was
train of freight cars, and one standing opposite
the locomotive was complete wreck.
Fragments of the boiler and other portions
of the engine were blown in all directions A
piece of the boiler weighing 80 pounds was
blown into the air and fell nearly onefourth of
a mile from the scene of the explosion, passed
through the roof of st. Johns Episcopal
chnrch corner of Bow and Richmond streets.
and landed in the main aisle within three feet
of where woman was engaged in washing up
the floor. A portion of the bell of the engine,
struck the roof of house No. 81 Union street,an
eighth of a mile distant, passing through two
thicknesses of board, and lodging in an inch
timber, which it cut nearly in two. The tongue
of the bell, weighing 10 pounds, struck the roof
of house No. 16 Richmond street and passed
through to the second story of the hall and fell
at the feet of Mrs. Skilton aud her two chill
dren. A gentleman passing along Bow street
one-feurth of mile distant, was struck on the
hand by fragment of the boiler and severly
cut. The chimney of house in the rear of ST.
Johns church was demolished by falling frag-
ments, and several houses in the vicinity were
more or less damaged by these flying pieces of
