New YORK, March -Erenino.-To-day was
very important day in Wall street, with the public
interest conferred chiefly in Stock Exchange Al the
opening of business great buoyaDcy prevailed in
the market for securities, and there was further
improyement in values. In the upward movement
the Union Pa ifc securities were the most prom1-
nent the stock rising to 49, the first mortgage bonds
TO 97 the land grants to 1901 and the sinking funds
to 90i these prices in instances being the high
est ever obtained. This large advance in Union Pa
ciic issues was caused by the annual report, the
adoption of the same by the stockholders at Boston,
and the harmony at the meeting. AT intervals dur
ing the day transactions were attended with great
activity and excitement In the late afternoon deal
ngs the activity subsded and there was general re-
action from the highest point of the day under sales
to realize profits. Money after oaning at (g per
cent broke down to per cent at the close. Foreign

Centinela Colony.

The Centinela Rancho, situated on the coast,
in westerly direction from Los Angeles and
about three miles distant from the, limits of
that beautiful city, contains 25OOO acres OF
good, arabic valley land, large portion OF
which lis choice bottom and well adapted to
the cultivation of semi tropical fruits. Near
| the highest elevation is q cluster OF large
springs, from which flows 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 adjoining
ranches are strong flowing wells, and it is the
opinion of Governor Downey, Mr. Carey and
| others, that artesian water can be readily Sc
cured on a large portion of the land purchased.
The surveyor is laying out a town in central
| position and about three miles from a well
| sheltered bay. The Los Angeles and Pacific
Railroad Company has been incorporated to
build railroad from the landing, where
wharf will be built, running through Cent?
nela to Los Angeles
There are orange lemon and lime trees now
loaded with fruit, 5000 orange trees growing
in the orchard, 1000 three year-old orange
trees growing in the nursery, 500 Languedoc
almond trees just commencing to bear, sew
eral hundred other fruit trees, and $4,000
worth OF sheep and other personal property.
The soil is first rate, water good, landing
convenient, market good, and the land dog
cheap. Centinela will sell well under the ham,
mer. Here is q chance for those who are look
ing for homes. Over two hundred shares have
already been subscribed for, and presume all
the stock will soon be taken. Persons anxious
to join the colony should lose no time in max
ing personal examination of this property.
These lands will be disposed of by the auc-
tioneer, as at Lompoc, to the highest bidder,
whether member of the Association or not.
The purchaser Of homesteads will pay ten per
cent. of the purchase money on the day of
sale, and ten per cent semi-annually thereaf-
ter, with interest at ten per cent per annum
until the whole purchase price has been paid
Persons desiring homes on this beautiful
rancho should secure stock equal to the value
of the land desired, so that if high prices are
obtained, as at Lompoc, the dividends on their
stock can be applied to their final payments
on their homesteads, and reduce the cost to or
below the original purchase price by the COM
pany. y. l.. ABBOTT,

Parties desiring to visit the land should take

road at San Francisco at $40 \. NJ. via Soledad,

During the past year their employees have
visited almost every town and village in Cali
fornia, Nevada, Utah, Oregon and Washington
Territory, advertising and introducing theil
medicines. Selling, as they do, only such rem
patrons, the natural result follows, and orders
are now coming in upon them faster than they
are able to fill. Among their remedies we find

plants. The popularity of This Balsam, as at
tested by its rapid sale, is its best recommend
wARREN's MOUNTAIN LAUREL HAIR TONIC,

An article introduced in July, 1874, and so

recently been compelled to enlarge their quar-

demand for it. This remedy is, strictly speak

composed entirely of roots banks and herbs of
California growth. 1t cleanses the blood, reg
uates its circulation, increases the digestive
forces, and incites the absorbents to healthy
action. 1t has every good quality of Calomel
without any of its dangerous ones. We cor
daily recommend it as a safe and efficacious
family medicine; as cathartic and regulator
it has no equal, and has only to be tried to be
appreciated. We respectfully call the atten-
ton of our readers to Messrs. Williams & Co.'s
advertisement in another column.

The Risdon Iron and Locomotive
Works.

| This well known firm is, as stated previously
| in our columns, an incorporated company
composed of some twelve share holders), o.
which VIM. H. TAYLOR, Esq, is President, and
JOSEPH MOORE, Esq, is Superintendent.
There are, perhaps, few branches OF manu-
| facture in endeavoring to describe which 1t is
SO essential to have some practical acquaint.
| ance with the details as in the case of Foun.
dries, Locomotive and Machine Works, and
| We must therefore, ask the indulgence, both
| of the Risdon Company and the public gen.
orally, for our brief and very imperfect sketch
| of this extensive undertaking.
| The Business Offices Foundry, Machine and
Boiler Works are situated at the corner of
Beale and Howard streets, San Francisco. The
premises occupied by the buildings and yards
measure 275 feet frontage by depth of 21215
feet, embracing no less than ten water-lots
However, they can, Independently of any
other claim on the business public, well afford
to stand by their record, including their bust
ness reputation and the class of work which
they turn out.
On leaving the Superintendent office we
were shown into the Machine or Finishing De-
partment. Here were number of Car-wheels
for the use of railroads) in course of compile
ton. These are made a specially with the
Risdon Company, which is the only establish
ment in the city that manufactures them. We
also observed Marine Engines, and work con-
nected with ship-building.
The corporation to which this notice has ref
erence has been engaged since our previous
issue in building heavy boilers of "a inch iron
plate, for compound engines, the largest that
have ever been built in the United States; this
firm having just completed two Compound
Engines of 4O0-horse- power.
Included in the work done, we may allude
to large amount of sheet iron pipe for ny
draulic purposes. These orders are being filled
on kilograms from England and New York, for
South America and California mining opera
tiOns.
To those engaged in gravel mining we would
say that these works are now engaged on an
order for the noted Cor'S Pans. Utah, Salt
Lake, is also numbered among their present
customers for car-wheels, and the Narrow
Guage Railroad has already entered into con-
tracts for large number of wheels.
Before closing this short and imperfect
sketch of the business operations, capacity
and energy of the corporation to which our
present reference alludes, we would, in justice
to manufacturing interests generally, draw
attention to the heavy pumping machinery
constructed for mining generally.
1t may possibly give some additional idea
of the magnitude and Importance of this I'M
dertaking, if we state that the "Risdon Iron
Works" employ an average of 800 men, dis
bursting about $20, 900 per month for wages.
They are now engaged making Hosting and
Pumping Machinery for the Ophir Mine, Ne
vada, which it will enable them to work to
depth of 1000 feet. The greatest depth to
which they work machinery in any part of the
world, at the present time, is $500 feet

National Surgical Institute.
The Pacific Branch Permanently Estab
lished i'm San Francisco.

Since the first visit of Dr. H. r. Allen
(the founder of the National Surgical In
stitute) to this coast, nearly two years ago,
it has been the intention of the Institute
to establish Branch in San Francisco.
The subsequent visits of other Surgeons
of the Institute, and the unparalleled sue
cess which attended them, has served only
to strengthen the project. After the ex-
penditure of much time, labor and money
in preparing instruments, machinery, etc.,
the Pacific Branch is at last permanently
established, and will be open for the re-
ception of patients by the middle of this
month. For the present, and until further
notice, the business will be continued at
their old building, No. $40 Bush street,
between Kearny and Montgomery. The
machinery for the Swedish movement and
vacuum cure; Galvanic and Electrical APP
paratus, and for giving the Electro Their
NAL, Turkish, Vapor and other baths, has
all been received from the East, (where il
was manufactured in the Institute ma.
chine shops), and is rapidly being placed
in position. DR.. J. NJ. Hinkle, one of the
oldest and most successful surgeons of the
Institute, associated with DR.. Thos. Mayor
and corps of skilled assistants, are al
ready in San Francisco, and will remain
there permanently in charge of the Branch
Institute; consequently no further ques
tons need be asked or fears apprehen det
concerning the permanency and pro
ficiency Of the Pacific Branch.
DIR. Allen will visit the Institute in Sal
4 Francisco on the Goth of this month. an,
remain until the 18th of May following
during which time he will be pleased t

SILENT MEN.-Washington never made
aspeech. In the zenith of his fame he
once attempted it, failed, and gave it up
confused and abashed. In framing the
Constitution of the United States the
labor was almost wholly performed in
the Committee of the Whole. of which
George Washington was the chairman;
but ne made two speeches during the con-
ventlon OF very few words each. The
convention, however, acknowledge the
master spirit, and historians affirm that.
had it not been for his personal popular
lty and the thirty words of his first speech,
pronouucing it the best that could be
united upon, the Constitution would have
been rejected by the people. Thomas
= enerson never made speech. He couldn't
90 it. Napoleon, whose executive abil-
ny Is almost without parallel, said that
MS greatest difficulty was in finding men
y deeds rather than words. When asked

How HE DID IT.-There is enough for
a volume or sermon i'll the following
little incident; and we earnestly COM
mend it to all afflicted with bad temper:
A merchant in London had dispute
with Quaker respecting the settlement
Of an account. The merchant was de-
termined to bring the question into court,
aproceeding to which the Quaker object
ed. Desiring to make a last effort. the
Quaker called at his office one morning.
and inquired of the servant if his master
was at home. The merchant, hearing
the inquiry, and knowing the voice, called
aloud from the top of the stairs
TELL that rascal that l am not at
homer
The Quaker, looking up towards him,
calmly said well, friend, God put thee
in better mind"
The merchant was struck with the meek
ness OF this reply, and having more de-
lberately Investigated the matter, became
convinced that the Quaker was right, and
ne In the wrong. He requested to see
him' and after acknowledging his error,
u have one question to ask you,-how
are you able, with such patience, on vari-
Gus occasions, to bear my abuse9"
Friend" replied the Quaker, 81 will
tell thee; l was naturally as hot and vio-
lent as thou art. I knew that to indnloe
TINS temper was sinful, and found that
II was lmprudent. l observed that men
IN a passion often speak loud; and 7
1hoaght that if | could control my voice
1 should repress my passion. i have
therefore, made it a rule never to suffer
my voice to rise above certain KEY; and
,py a careful observation of this rule. I
nave , entirely mastered my natural tenn
