CFrom the Chicago Tribunel
Both are men of stalwart frame. of
splendid physique, of enthusiastic tenn

snous enjoyment. Both are men of
social dispositions, engaging manners,
and magnetic natures. Both are largely
gifted with imagination and humor.
Both are orators. Both are lovers of
art, and delight in natural beauty.
Both have great energy of character and
ambition. Both have sought to be re-
formers. Both, after q sort, are re-
hgious.
But in many things they differ besides
their inequality of age-their disparity
here being some fifteen years. Beecher

pose, and using freely all agreeable in

Profits In Grape Culture.

We are often asked the question as to
whether grapes viii pay. Good varie-
ties certainly will. IF man is prepared
to lay out of the use of his land for three
years, at the end of that time the money
will begin to come in. There is not q
great deal of labor or expense attending
the planting of vineyard, and in this
part of the State no irrigation is needed,
as in the lower counties. New wine sells
at from 40 to so cents per gallon. The
mountain sides, SO far as tested, produce
the very best fruit. A large cluster on
the table where I write grew on the range
in sight near Calistoga, and sold for a
cent pound. IF hung on the plate
glass window of some Eastern city this
cluster would attract a crowd on the side
walk. There are numerous places where
the crop may be sold. Land for vine
yards can be purchased in the hills at
reasonable rates, say from five to fifteen
dollars an acre, depending upon the 10
cation. Valley Agricnlt-

warm pedding for Cattle.

It is quite important at this season of
the year to provide sufficient amount of
warm bedding for stock, and the g orts''
and coarser hay and straw that are re-
jected by the cattle may be used for this
purpose. At other and warmer seasons
sand makes very clean and useful litter,
and we like to use it freely, but it does
not impart that warmth that is needed
in extreme cold weather. Leaves that
were collected in the fall are excellent
for this purpose, and they have the adj
vantage that they are not so full of weed
seed as the coarse hay from the managers.
If we had plenty of leaves we would use
them freely for bedding now. They
make capital manure also, and if any
farmer neglected to store up lot of
them it was mistake that ought to be
borne in mind to correct next year.

FARM AND HOME.
Sawtlnat for Celery.


The editor of the London Journal of
Horticulture says sawdust is good
thing for earthing celery, placing it be-
tween the rows and around the plants
after the leaves and stalks have been
brought together, pressing the sawdust
about them, SO as to lie compact and IN
sure blanching perfectly. 1t Is better,
he thinks, than soil, not being SO liable
to cause the stalks to rot, and is good
protection against frost.
Care in Horse-shOefng.
Never touch the bars, frog, sole, or
enter surface with a knife or rasp. Shoe
with light, thin shoes that allow the sole
bars and frog to be brought in contact
with the ground, and thus bear their due
proportion of the horses weight. Use
small nails, and not over five of them.
Never allow the points to be driven high
up the wall of the hoof. For ordinary
service in the country during the sum-
mer months, use only tins which protect
the toe, but leave the entire ground sur
face of the foot unprotected.

CHINESE LEGERDEMAIN IN
EnnXERW

The reports Of the last annual banquet
Of the Chinese residents Of San Francisco
make entertaining reading. The perfec-
tion to which the Chinese have carried
their cooking was 4 matter Of surprise to
the American guests present. During the
first course an orange was laid at the plate
Of each guest. The orange itself seemed
like any other orange, but, on being cut
open, was found 70 contain within the
rind five kinds Of delicate jellies.
One was at first puzzled to explain
how the jellies got in, aud, giving up
that train Of reflection, was in a worse
quandary to know how the pulpy part Of
the orange got out. COlOred eggs were
also served, in the inside of which were
found nuts, jellies, meats and confectionery.
When a Celestial was asked to explain this
legerdemain Of cookery, he expanded his
mouth in a hearty laugh and shook his
head and chucklingly said: "Melican man
heap smart; why he not indee Out?'
Every luxury of the "Melican mans mar
ket7 was served-tUrkey, chicken, quail,
goose, duck, pigeons, prairie chicken, deer,
antelope, and numberless other game were
served, together with the usual allowance
Of champagne.

To the Union and American:
Some two weeks ago the Senate passed
bill No. ia for the Inspection Of petroleum
oils. Nothing that has come before our
Legislature is of more importance. The
States north Of us all have inspection laws;
consequently If they have inferior oils they
are sold to 90 South. and we therefore see
those deplOrable accidents producing loss Of
life and property. Nothing can be pro
duced that viii furnish all with as cheap
and good a light, and it IS the duty Of our
lawmakers TO make il safe. The expense
falls Oh the seller, and being only ten cents
per barrel, il IS nothing in comparison To
its being made safe. From the Gas light
