California Wheat.

Ten years ago California produced
only wheat enough for her own con-
sumption, if, indeed, enough was
raised in the State for that purpose.
The immense proportions which that
crop has reached in single decade, is
one of the most astonishing events of
the century. The Chronicle well re-
marks, that eff this immense mass of
of wheat had come down upon us in
shower from heaven, it could not have
been more unlocked for than it was
few years ago. The surprises in Cali
fornia, in an agricultural way, have
been greater than those of the miner
al, astonishing and bewildering as
they have been.n
The amount of the surplus is stated
in figures at 2O,000,000 bushels, or
about 100000 tons. TO form definite
idea of what these figures mean is
very difficult matter. The New York
Herald, in order to assist the under
standing, says that, loaded in carts,
each containing ton, to be hauled to
New York, the first would be at its
destination when the last was leaving
San Francisco. This, at first thought,
seems extravagant; but in order to
travel comfortably, not much more
than two hundred carts could be
ranged upon mile, and hence
the statement is not very wide of the
mark

Political Economy.

There is good deal of wisdom to be
found in the by-ways. A recent En-
glish book mentions some lines,
known as the '.Seven Conditions
which appear beneath series of old
designs to be found in almost every
house on both banks of the Rhine:
The first is the emperor, who says,
81 levy tribute"
Next comes the nobleman, who says,
III have free estate.n
The priest says, III take titbes.u
The merchant says, II live by my
profits"
The soldier says, "I pay for moth
ing"
"The beggar says, ~ have moth
ing.n
The peasant says, "God help me |!
for these six other men have all to be
supported by me.n

The New Postoffice.

Between four o'clock last evening
and midnight, Postmaster Bent and
his efficient deputies removed the
Postoffice from the old location in
Temple Block to the new Office, next
door to the HERALD Office, and this
morning everything will be ready for
the prompt delivery of mail matter as
usual. The office is great improve
ment on the old one. There is a great
deal more room, large number
of lock-boxes have been added,
and number of other improvements
made which will tighten the labor of
the clerks and facilitate the delivery
of the mails. Los Angeles now has a
first-class Postoffice, first-class Post
master and corps of active and eff
Client clerks.

IT Is SELDOM THAT WE NOTICE anything In
the medical line, nor would we now, unless
we could be convinced that we are not doing
our duty as journalists in recommending to
the public the celebrated botonical prepara-
tions of DR.. Henry. Whoever induces the
victim OF Scrofula or any other disease of the
blood, to use DR.. Henry.s Extract OF Sarsapa-
rilla, has begun a good work. There can be
no question as to the result of this medicine
if persevered in. 1t is sure cure for Scrofu-
la, Rheumatism, Salt Rheum, and indeed all
complaints arising from vitiated and impure
blood. IL is just what good physician would
prescribe for these complaints, and we con-
fdentially recommend it as being the best
article now in use. DIR. Henry's Cough Balsam
is the most effective remedy for any affections
of the Throat or Lungs that we have ever
known. IL contains no deleterlous drugs
and can be taken with impunity and GER
tainty of relief For the cure of Coughs, Colds,
Sore Throat, etc, it stands without rival.
DR.. Henry's Linament as an alleviator of
pain, is unrivalled by any preparation before
the public; the most skeptical will be con-
vinced by single trial. 1t will prove itself a
"friend in need" which no family should be
without

THE COAST MAILS AGAIN.
The following dispatch was received yester
day by Postmaster Parker:
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 9, 1875.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 9, 1875.
We can pay, under the law, one hundred
and ninety dollars per round trip, or ninety
five dollars each way for three mails per
week, between New Orleans and Vicksburg.
See the Vicksburg packets and ask them to
take the mails at that price until some per-
manent arrangement can be made by adver-
Using or otherwise. We have complaints
from the communities on the river, but the
department is prevented by law from paying
more than the sum above named So that,
il the packet companies decline to take the
mails, the responsibility is with them, and
not with us, and the community should SO
understand it. The department is doing
everything possible, and you are at liberty to
publish this dispatch, if the companies de-
cline to take the mails
MARSHALL JEWELL, Postmaster General.
To the casual reader the above dispatch
may seem to contain q very liberal offer on
the part of the Postmaster General, but to
those who are acquainted with the extent of
the service to be performed it will not appear
In that light The route is nine hundred
miles long, with sixty light offices or landings,
which is q landing to every thirteen miles
and fraction.
This has to be travelled over three times q
week, equal to 27O0 miles and 204 landings
per week. To perform this service with any
degree of regularity and promptness, boats
possessing great speed are a necessity; to
command such boats large capital is required,
larger than Mr.. Draper felt justified in en-
gaging for the sum that he was to receive
And it is to just such class of boats that Mr.
Jewell makes the above munifcent offer, and
that offer was ,efased. They are owned by
men of capital and experience, able to carry
out their contracts, responsible in every sense
of the word if they fail.
They have made what they consider fair
and just offer, covered by the required de-
posit,) and they do not propose, we under
stand, to abate one jot or little Of it.
Although we are sufferers from this state Of
affairs, yet we sympathize with them in the
principle involved. They have the means at
hand to carry out such contract; the men
who bid against them have not; therefore,
they refuse any "divide with them, for
they have been the losers by just such specu-
lations in the past
