there Is such o demand from
the East, and from Europe for the
Alden fruit. All the navies and
armies of the world want them. The
farmers need have no fears of glutting
the market. We doubt if the present
orders for the Alden fruit could be
filled in five years. One word to farm
ers and gardeners. Plant tomatoes,
turnips, peas, squashes, pumpkins,
carrots, potatoes, cabbage, indeed all
vegetables dried ON these machines
are in great demand. Two or three
acres judiciously planted in vegeta-
bles, will make a farmer more clear
money than fifty acres in grain.
Then this labor is more like recreation
than work. We cannot tell now the
precise cost of a family machine, the
parties have machine on the road
that will soon be here. When this
model machine arrives they will pub
lish the cost; but we presume it will
be inside of one hundred dollars. This
information is a God send to the
farmers and just in time. Let them
prepare for it. 1t is hardly necessary
to say anything about the profit of
drying or preserving fruit in this way.
Every few days for months past we
have published something on this
subject. 1t is simply enormous-from
fifty to three hundred per cent. and
this per cent. can now be pocketed by
the producers. The parties will soon
publish their progress and we promise
to keep our readers posted.

The PanamInt Mines.

The San Francisco papers note the
departure of Mr.. TRENOR w. PARK,
President of the Panama Railroad, for
the Panamint mines. He gives to the
Post the following information con-
cerning the shipment of ores via Los
Angeles and Panama:
Through contracts can be made for ore
from Los Angeles to Liverpool at the
rate of "a 10 per ton of 2,24O pounds,
and If large quantities came forward
the rate would be made "a. He says
the Surprise valley mines could fur
nish 800 tons day at fortnights
notice, and the district 1000 tons, but
this cannot be done while the ore has
to be hauled from the interior to the
sea port. A railroad, broad gauge,
from Truxton or Shoe Fly to the
mouth of Surprise Ca1on can be built
and equipped for $2,000,000, and this
ore traffic, with the accompanying
merchandise and passenger business,
would make it the best paying road
in the United States. A narrow, three
foot gauge could be constructed for
about $l,200,000. There are other
mines of immense value in the lower
part of the State, the ore of which can
never be worked on the spot for the
want of wood and water, and which
must lie dormant until there is rail-
road communication with the ocean.
Speaking of the handling of ores
twice at Panama, through the distance
which ships have to lie from the rail-
road wharf, he says the inconvenience
is not so great as is supposed, and that
the total expense is less than the in
terest on the $2,000,000 it would take
to build a wharf to the anchorage. In
regard to the cost of sending these
ores by steam and rail to England in
stead of by the cape and sailing ves-
sells, he says the saving of insurance,
with the interest, on high grade ores
compensate for the difference on
freight. These ores when rich in cop
per will continue to be sent to Swan
sea, as the copper, which otherwise
would be lost, pays the cost of freight
and reduction.

Mines and Mining Stocks.

During the year just departed, the
stock and mining interests of the Pa
cific coast were prosperous beyond
precedent, The San Francisco Post
states that the business Of the Stock
Exchange of that city in 1874 far ex-
ceeded the operations of any previous
twelve months, showing al aggregate
of recorded sales of S2O2, 93O, $50, while
that of 1868 amounted to but $146,-
5,O6S. The mining interest of the
Pacific slope for the year just closed
also exceeds that of any previous
twelve months in point of develop
ment and profit. We have not only
to record important developments on
the great lode of the COmstock, but
the discovery and opening of other
mines of the most promising charac-
ter at various points along the vast
mineral belts that lie parallel with
the Sierra Nevada = mines, some of
which promise to materially swell
within the near future the great tide
of bullion which is already stimulat-
ing every branch of industry, however
obscure or remote. We enter upon a
new year with an outlook to these
interests of q most promising charac-
ter. At no time in our history, has
the operator in mines or mining stocks
had equal cause for self congratula-
ton in regard to the prospects for the
future than he has at the present hour.
The whole mining interest of the
coast seems to have entered upon a
more exciting as well as a more sub
stantial era than ever before. From
every quarter comes reports daily OF
discoveries of the precious metals and
other valuable minerals of such a
character that we are led to believe
that our mining interests are yet only
in their infancy, and that the total
product for the quarter of a century
Just ending, although aggregating
nearly 81, SOC, 100000, will compare but
insignificantly with that of the same
period which is next to succeed. The
mines of California and Nevada for
the year 1874 aggregate a gross amount
of at least $59,000,000. The year 1875
is unquestionably to pass into history
as the most remarkable period in our
annuls of mining products, aggregat-
ing, as it probably will, at least $780,

Eureka.

The patent right for a family fruit
dryer has been procured by E. II.
Workman and DIR. a. Z. Merrill for
the county of Los Angeles. Here is
something that every family must and
will have. We have seen the plates
of the dryer and a sample of the fruit
and vegetables dried on it, and we pro-
nounce it the best thing We have ever
seen for family use. While it is cheap
and easy to operate, it will preserve
twenty-five to sixty bushels of fruit
or vegetables a day. The raisins we
have not seen, but they are said to be
equal to the raisins made by the Alden
process, of which we have no doubt.
The principle being the same, the
fruit must be equal in every respect.
This dryer has the advantage of adj
mitting or cutting off any amount of
hot air that the operator wishes, by
simply turning a screw. While it is
so simple that the women and chill
dren on the farm can operate it, it is
susceptible of being enlarged to any
extent. Thus companies can be
formed and factory putup OH large
scale. We hail these things with de-
light. 1t places the farmer upon an
independent footing. His fruit, veg
etables and grapes can be prepared at
home and stored away until he finds a
market to suit. Everything cured in
these dryers will keep any length of
time, and no fear OF worm or mildew.
This is one reason why this fruit sells
so much higher in market than sun
dried fruit-they may be sent around
the world dozen times and will then
open as sweet and fresh as the day
they came out of the dryer Another
reason is, that fruit, when placed in ,
basin of water, will reassume oil it
fresh qualities, SO that no one can tel
but it was just from the tree or gar
den. Hence we readily see VIII.

A Murderer Driven Into Insanity by
the Recollection OF His Crime.

The readers of the Press will remember
the case of a man named Caldwell, who
was tried and convicted in the courts of
Hennepin County last summer upon a
charge OF numbering young man, whose
name cannot be recalled distinctly, while
riding with him in z wagon a short dis
lance from Minneapolis. The body OF the
murdered man was found in the road a
short time after the murder was commit
ted, with the head badly crushed and the
pockets riied by the murderer. Suspicion
at once pointed to his companion, Cald-
well, and he was in a short time tried,
found guilty. and sentenced to the State
Prison for life, or long term of years.
He has been in the prison for several
months, but the recollection of his hOrri-
bic crime seems to haunt him constantly.
Deputy Warden Williams, who came
over yesterday morning, mentions as a
strange popularity of the case, that Cald-
well now imagines that he sees the bloody
corpse of his victim every night, and that
the fearful halluc.nation is rapidly devel-
oping into positive insanity. Caldwell's
sleep is broken by dreams of the dead, and
his waking hours are becoming one con-
tinuous horror too dreadful to be realized
by any one, and in the presence of which
the murderer would willingly seek the
gallOws, if thereby the tormenting visions
could be removed from his diseased mind.
The case is one which will present its
points of interest to physicians, and illus
trates, to certain extent, the power of
conscience over stained and guilty man.

Migration Of Birds.

A recent correspondent of the London
Times presents the novel hypothesis, that
the migratory flight of birds is an entirely
Involuntary act. The argument is, that
at or about certain period of year, when
a strong southern wind prevails in an up
per stratum of the air, a subtle atmespher
ic change, resulting from it, acts upon the
muscles of the birds in such way as to
make them fly. Their wings beat as ma
turally as their hearts, and they cannot
help going. Rising up into the swift cur
rent of air, they are borne along it as long
as the spasm lasts, which generally is long
enough to carry most of them to warmer
climates, although multtudes recover
little too soon and perish in the sea. Some
experiments made upon migratory birds
in captivity lend FEASIBILITY to the theory.
Kept in cages covered with silk to protect
them from injHry, these birds have been
observed, at the season of migration, to be
affected with paroXysm of flight, which
continued through period answering in
length to the time occupied by birds in
their semi-annual journeys. When the
paroXySm was over, the birds fell to the
ground, began preening their plumage,
and conducting themselves as if they had
just reached a new home after an extended
journey. The experiments were made in
both England and Africa with similar re-
suits.
Contemporaneous with the publication
of this theory, Runeberg, the Swedish
poet, announces the fanciful conceit that
the birds are impelled TO migrate by
longing for light. 1t has been supposed
by ornithologists that birds leave their
summer haunts at the approach of winter
because their food is exhausted or disap-
pears under the snow, and they are COM
PEELED, not only by cold, but by hunger,
to go south, where they can enjoy COM
Portable warmth and sustenance; but
Runeberg declares that The bird of pas
sage is of noble birth; he bears motto.
and his motto is, Lar ntea dlsr.'n

1t is sad commentary upon our boosted
civilization that the women of our times have
degenerated in health and physique until they
are literally race of invalids-pale, nervous,

certain vegetable extracts, natural specific,
which he does not eXtOl as a cure-all, but one
which admirably fulfills singleness Of pur-
pose, being most positive and reliable rem

afflict the women of the present day. This
natural specific compound is called DR..

chronic diseases incident to women, not

in the cases that have been enumerated, the

WOman's AttractiTeness.

Personal attractions most girls possess
at any rate in a sufficient degree TO render
them attractive to somebody-fOr, al
though there are standards and models of
beauty, yet these do not prevail with all
persons. There is something wonderful
in the difference of aspect which the same
face wears to different beholders. Proba-
bly, the philosophical explanation of this is
that what is hidden to all others becomes
apparent to the eye of love.
How can moderately good-loOking girl
increase her attractions? BY culture. She
must cultivate her mind. An ignorant
and illiterate woman, even if she attract
the attention, cannot retain the interest of
an intelligent man. She must do this by
reading, by study, by reflection, and by
familiar conversation with the best and
most highly educated persons with whom
she comes in contact. .l,ls-f e
But the heart must be cultivated, as well
as the head. ''0f all things,n exclaimed a
most elegant and refined gentleman, after
nearly a lifetime's familiarity with the
best society-'of all things give softness
and gentleness in woman" A harsh
voice, a coarse laugh-trifies like these
have suddenly spoilt many favorable first
impression.
real, and not feigned. A woman who
studies to appear, rather than to be, good
and generous. seldom succeeds in deceiv-
ing the opposite sex IN these respects. She
who in truth seeks earnestly to promote
the happiness of those around her, is very
apt soon to obtain admirers among men.
No woman ever otherwise so completely
triumphs over rival as when she is in
good earnest to prefer that rivals interest
to her own.
Above all other requisites in woman is
conScientiousness. Without this one
tombstone of character, no matter what
her charms and requirements, she cannot
expect to command the lasting regard of
any man whose love is worth having
