The Jewish Holidays.

The Jewish Passover commences on
April 9th and will continue for eight
days. This is solemn season among
Israelites and Jew of any pretensions
to pIety observes it most sacredly. In
the twelfth chapter of Exodus the his
torian, after describing the divine fl.
at of destruction to Egypt's first born
says; "and the blood shall be to you
for token upon the houses where we
are, and when see the blood l will
pass over you, and the plague shall
not be upon you to destroy you, when
1 smite the land of Egypt. And this
day shall be unto you for memorial;
and you shall keep it feast to the
Lord throughout your generations; We
shall keep it feast by an ordinance
forever" This is the simple history
of the origin of the passover, which
has been observed by the Jews for
thousands of years, wherever scattered
throughout the earth, whether in pros
perity or adversely. We have been
furnished the following account of the
mode of making the unleavened bread:
A half sack of -four, weighing forty
nine pounds is emptied into a zinc
trough and nothing more than eight
quarts of water is added. The dough
is then worked until proper consis.
tency is acquired, when it is taken
from the trough and transferred 80 a
semIcircular platform upon which it
is kneaded for short time, after this
it is run through the kneading ma
chine and then transferred to large
rolling apparatus, where the dough is
pressed into the required thickness,
and marked in similar manner to
that in which common crackers are
perforated, and cut into cakes about
eight inches square. The cakes are
then transferred into a large oven,
where they are soon baked after
which they are taken out and packed,
ready for shipment to various parts of
the country. The cakes that may be
little burned while baking. or broken
after being taken from the oven, are run
through small hand mill and ground
into a kind of meal, which may be
used during the holidays in making
pastry. The use of no bread but that
We have described is permitted during
the interveing days between the 9th
and the 10th of April.

er way. Sixth-The demand for it in
the armies and navies of the world is
so great that it brings nearly double
what it would If cured in any other
way. Seventh-All vegetables and
fruits can be saved in this way at any
season of the year, so that nothing
ever need be lost or thrown away on
the farm. We say now is the time for
the farmers to begin to make arrange
ments to save the enormous crop now
growing. If all the fruit growers and
farmers in the county will save all
they raise this year, we have never
seen money so plenty as it will be
here next Fall. The fruit crop will
bring double the money to the county
that our wool crop will bring. Let
companies be formed in each town
and neighborhood in the county, and
go into this work in earnest. Those
who are living out to themselves
should now procure family fruit
dryer and be ready to save their crops.

Connecticut Election.

The Democratic triumph in Con-
necticut is what was expected by the
party. The decreased majority was
very trifling, and can be accounted for
on local issues. Some have attributed
it to the great storm which prevailed
throughout the State on the day of
election. This is nonsense. If the bad
weather kept the voters from the polls,
there were doubtless as many of one
party as the other who refused to ven-
ture out. But many local issues were
brought into the canvass, which al
ways influence the general result of
an election. The shrewdness of the Re-
publican party in getting up and pre-
pairing for these local Issues is proverb-
ial, and they always get the better of
the Democrats in such games. None
but a national election ever shows the
true strength of the tive parties. That
Connecticut is and will continue to be
Democratic by q large majority we
have no doubt. And the Republican
victory in the State election of New
Hampshire is no indication that she
will be Republican in the Presidential
canvass. These State elections are a
kind Of training field for the final con-
test, and in these trainings heavy
weights are often carried by one party
or the other, which is always disas-
trous. Both parties will be cursed for
years to come with the dead weight
Of old political hacks; but in this the
Democrats will have decidedly the ad-
vantage as they neither have SO many
of this class as the Republicans nor
have they been so recreant to the pub
lie trust.

The Scramble for Office.

Every four years there is scramble
for Office. There are sixty thousand
offices in the gift of the President and
members of Congress. To the victors
belong the spoils, and these offices are
all handed over to the friends of the
party in power, irrespective of quail
fication or fitness for the position. So
long as offices of this kind are prizes
to be scrambled for, it is vain to ex-
pect publication in public life. While
it lasts all hope of genuine reform Is
a delusion. Take away these appoint
ments from the President and men,
bers of Congress-, or take from them
the power to make changes during
good behavior and the evil is at once
cured.

Immense Crops.

1t is now beyond doub that crops
Of all kinds will be the largest ever
known in Southern California. The
grain crops will all be harvested
and disposed of in the usual way.
What is not required for home con-
sumption will be shipped to the mines
in the back country, or to San Fran
cisco and sold. To supply the large
immigration pouring into the county
we will need more for home consump-
than ever before. But the tremendous
fruit crop, what is to be done with
that? Now is the time for farmers to
prepare to take care of and put 1t in a
merchantable condition to supply the
markets in other countries. To do this
they must can it, or dry it. Canning
fruit is very tedious and expensive
business, and to make success of it
a large capital must be invested. 1t
is impossible for one man, or one fam
lily to do it with sufficient economy to
make money out Of it. Drying in the
old-fashioned way is slow and tedi-
Gus business, and though it is better
to save fruit in this way than to throw
it away there is very little to be made
at it. Drying or curing fruit and veg
etables by machines must take the
place OF all other modes of saving
these crops, and putting them in
the best possible shape for the mar
ket. There are so many reasons why
this must be done that we will only
undertake TO name few of them
First it is the cheapest way that fruit
and vegetables can be saved-Second
Where it is cured in this way it is for
ever secure from all insects. Third
1t never decays, nor does age depreci-
ate it. Fourth-It never loses its aro-
ma, and is as good and fresh when put
into water few minutes before cook
ing it as when it came out of the
field or orchard. Fifth-It can be
pressed into q smaller compass for
shipping than when cured in any 9TH

MAMMOTH SHOWS.
Montgomery Queens New Circus and
New Menagerie.

From the San Francisco Call, March 26th.]
Montgomery Queen seems to know
exactly the wants of the people who
patrOniZe amusements on the Pacific
coast. Last year the grand concen-
tration of talent which comprised his
elegant establishment seemed to us as
ii Queen had exhausted the equestrian
world, and that no possible improve
ment could be made; but the indefat-
igable and never-tiring manager has
succeeded in collecting together new
attractions and features that were
never offered our public before. Mr.
Queen has procured new and mag
nificent outfit for his caravan, and his
daily free street displays cannot fail of
convincing the most dubious doubter
that Queen has by odds the most ex-
travagantly gotten up establishment,
not only in America, but that ever
rolled upon wheels. Besides the new
lofty band chariot, Mr.. Queen will in-
troduce some new features in his pro-
cessions, known as tableau cars. One
of these represents "Queen's Dream of
our Hundredth Anniversary" The
car is emblematic of our country
and the birth of freedom; in the centre
and upon lofty platform stands the
Goddess of Liberty, with living loose
Senegal leopard cr0uching at her feet,
surrounded by full life-sized figures in
gold of Justice and Columbia. The
others consist of moving tableaux.
Prof. Pierce's groupof performing roy
al Bengal tigers comprise living pic
ture witnessed only once in lifetime.
Zinzebar and five other man-eating
hyenas form another striking illustra-
ton of mans power over the brutes of
creation. Madame Pauline, the only
female subduer of lions on the West
ern Continent, gives public exhibit
tiOn of her reckless disregard of the
great monarch of the jungles. The
long line of new animal dens elabo-
rately painted in light green and gold,
with centre pieces of over fifty mag
nificently executed Scriptural paint
ings representing some of the grand.
est and most sublime passages in the
Bible. Many new animals have been
added. The Arenic or Moral Circus
department is complete and unexcep-
tionable. Signor Quaglient, the
Italian bareback one and four
horse rider; Abelardo Lowanda, the
wild rider of Brazil; young Sebastian,
the four-pony rider, and Miss Mollie
Brown, the greatest female rider the
world has ever produced, stand promi-
nent among the celebrities of Mr..
Queens equestrian organization. The
Mathews family,the great Kenpebels,
Levantine, Austin, and Mime. d. Atal-
lie, the beautiful French female Sam.
son, who carries an immense brass
cannon on her shoulders, and from
which is fired centennial salute in
the arena, furnish the best evidence
that Queen intends outdoing all previ-
Gus efforts in the direction of amusing
the public with new and the very best
sensational performances. Mr.. Queen
has acquired fine reputation in Cali
fornia for giving more than he promi-
ses to the people for their money, and
his shows are regarded by the people
OF the Pacific coast as one of the nec-
essaries. The big street demonstra-
ton on Monday, April Sd. will show
what nerve, brains, capital and hon.
orable dealing can accomplish.

Poor l0!

The Indian Bureau is perhaps the
most perplexing question before Con-
gress and the most difficult for the
people to understand. How it is that
Belknap, the Secretary of War dis
graced himself and the nation in con-
nection with this question, since which
time great efforts have been made in
Congress to turn that whole depart
ment over to the War Department.
The people are puzzled to know how
the Secretary of War was so terribly
muddled up with the Indian Depart
ment while he had no control over it.
One word will explain it. The from
tier trading posts were under the pro-
lection of the army, but permitted to
trade with the Indians. These post
traders obtained their position from
the War Department, because the
War Department was in some meas
ure responsible for their conduct.
Then the question is asked, "Of what
use is the Indian Bureau?" Well, to
answer in few words, 1t is ex-
pected to negotiate treaties and preach
righteousness to the Indians; civilize
them and make good law-abiding cit
izens out of them-in which work they
have signally failed. The Indians were
under controI of tho War Danqrtru ont
until the Republicans got control Of
the Government, when the great de-
sire to find soft places for army pets
induced them to create this Indian
Bureau, by which they increased the
number Of offices in the gift of the
President several thousands, and the
expense of the Government several
millions.

The Chinese.

There isa general misunderstanding
In regard to the anti-Chinese move
ment in California. It is generally
believed that the object is to send all
of the Cinnamon out of the country,
and prohibit the importation of others.
The prohibition Of the importation of
Chinese to this country is the only
object in this movement, and this
should be distinctly understood by all
the people. Anything farther than
this can result in nothing but mischief
nothing more than this can be ac-
complished without a violation of the
treaty with China, and the good faith
of our country. If we can prevent the
further emigration Of that people, we
can endure the presence of those We
have now with us, as they will rap
idly decrease. The fact is we are
of the opinion that it would be cal
amity, to have them all shipped away
at once. In the absence of other labor
they have become to be a necessity
with us. True If they had never come
here, We should have had other and a
more desirable class of laborers, but
their presence has kept others away,
and we would prefer to keep few of
them until We have an influx of other
laborers, those that we have here
will pass away quite soon enough for
our convenience. We have no sympa-
thy with that class of politicians who
talk about driving out the Chinese
from this country. This is not the
way to treat so serious subject. The
Chinese came here under sacred
treaty obligations, and it is a VIOLA
ton of plighted faith to treat them in
this summary manner. We profess
to be refined and civilized people,
and governed by high sense of hon
or. Possessing these noble character
istics we can never descend to the in
human treatment of an inferior race,
Notwithstanding their presence may
be source of great annoyance to US.
We presume there is but one feeling
among eur people in regard to the
Cinnamon. Nobody wants any more
of them. But as to the best mode to
get clear of those we have there is
great difference of opinion. We say
let it be done in peacible. quiet and
legal way.
