CRADLE SONG.

Sleep, baby. sleep! for the night draweth nigh:
the daylight is fading from earth and from sky:
Through riffs in the azure the stars will soon peep
While the breeze whispers softly, o sleep, baby,
sleep.
Sleep, baby, sleep mother sits by thy side,
And rocks thee SO gently, her joy and her pride.
IT'S time You were shutting your bonnie blue eve,
There's nothing to fear, darling, sleep ant by-bye.
May angels watch DER thee, through dark and
through light;
Gods tender care keep thee-we live in HIS sight;
Wen trust Him. my darling, by night and by day ;
The hand that has made us will guard us AWAY.
Sleep, baby, sleep now the san d man is here;
lie stole in quite softly, his purpose is clear;
Through the ivory gate into dreamland she goes
Now rest thee, my darling, sweet to thy repose.

HANDY HELPs.-There are some things
which a farmer wants but once 4 year, and
there are others which he always should
have ready. No tool comes oftener into
play than II hammer, for example. Every
new or old wooden tool should be oiled.
Have Il barrel or key or can of crude pct
roleum always ready in your shop. Keep
everything we'll anointed. The crude oil
goes right into the pores. and make any
wood durable rs cedar. Keep it constant
ly on hand. Again. save every piece of
rope and leather strap. They will be use
full for repairing. The next time you 90
to 4 hardware store, get fifty cents worth
or 4 dollars worth of copper wire and cop
per straps. Copper wire is Il great deal
better than iron wire. because it is much
more flexible, like cord. and copper straps
are capital for repairing any fracture in
woodwork, it may be so easily wrapped
AROUND, or nailed on with small nails.
Then again, always have a pound or two
of wrought or annealed nails Of different
sizes, that will clinch readily when YOU
use them. Oou will remember that in
driving these or any other nails into hard
wood, they will 90 more easily by first
touching the points with Il little grease, but
Ito not let the grease oct on the face of the

FACTS FOR FARMERS.-Scattered thicklv

lowing notice from the Minister of Agri-

Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-17
The Centennial.

If our Centennial means anything
at all, it is the exposition of the pro-
gressive American idea. in the de-
partments of manufactures, science,
art and literature and everything that
contributes to the advancement of a
peoples taste and progress in all of
our social relations, and upon the
grounds at Philadelphia there should
be exhibited a display of the great
idea of the time, which is that of lib
erality of thought and action; and so
far as regards the question of keeping
the grounds open on Sundays we can
but feel that there has been expressed
too much of the old Puritanical notion.
The exposition is in every respect CO.'S
mopolitan, and in every feature there
should be a proper and discreet regard
for the feelings and tastes of all ma
tionalities. 1t Is absolute nonsense
for the managers to adopt strict rule
that will compel all who attend to
conform to rigid discipline and par
ticipate in an entertainment under a
feeling of restraint. The day has
passed when the rigid practice of the
ancient Covenanters and the Puritans
should be adopted as the rule of con-
duct. Let us have little of the spirit
of liberality in our exhibition. 1t is
a jubilee, not prayer-meeting.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-17

OUR neighboring State of Nevada
appears to be in very queer condition.
Lincoln county is virtually without
officers; all of the Eondsmen of the Of
ficers elect, have withdrawn their OBJ
legations; and it is said that as it is
not likely that others will be found to
qualify. Lincoln county seems to be
practically without county govern
ment. A few days ago a notorious
criminal was discharged from the Jail
because there were no funds to pro-
vide for his maintenance. The pres
ent state of affairs has all arisen from
the county incurring heavy debt.
The Ely District, of which Phoebe is
the centre, was, some three years ago,
one of the most prosperous mining
camps in Nevada. Upon the suppo-
sition that f1ourishing times were to
continue, it appears that the county
incurred what has proved to be most
burdensome debt. The interest on
this debt amounts to $4,000 yearly.
In the early part of May the Nevada
Supreme Court decided suit in favor
of the holders of the bonds. The con-
sequence is, that the major portion of
the taxes raised this year must go to
the ndholders, leaving the county
substantially without finances to de-
fray the necessary expenses of govern
ment. AS a contemporary remarks:
"This is one of the results of that sys-
tenn which proving the bane of mum
icipal governments. Incurring a debt
is simple and easy process. Bonds
are easily printed and signed; but
meeting the obligations evidenced by
these bonds is more difficult proceed.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-17
A Suggestion OF Two.

A correspondent of one of our ex-
changes remarks that amid all of the
blessings which surround the farmers
of the foothills, he finds that four out
of six are in the market to sell. He
further suggests that there must be a
cause for this state of things, which
conclusion is most decidedly logical.
The chief cause for complaint is al
legged to be over-work and small re-
muneration; and herein comes lesson
that we all of this day and generation
should heed and profit by. 1t is not
so much the lack of compensation and
the excess of labor as it is the exist
epce of a depraved taste that pervades
every branch of our social life. A
farmer in California with a ranch of
three hundred acres in almost any
locality, whether it be adapted to fruit
or grain or grazing, can become
wealthy if he adopts the rules Of pru-
dence that were accepted years ago.
In our State nature is so bountiful
that we all participate in the extrav-
agant idea that pervades all of our
surroundings, and we are ali too apt
to blame beneficent Providence for
troubles that we bring upon ourselves.
1t may he replied. in response to
10 10 ior
to preach than to practice. This is
true; but it is we'll enough once in a
while to stare the truth in the face,
and make an honest confession. With
the productive capacity of any. farm
in this State and a proper regard for
the ordinary rules of economy there
is not farmer who cannot with less
labor, employing white help than
would be required on the best farm at
the East become wealthy in a shorter
time than it would be possible for him
to do in the best location in the States.
The trouble with us all here lies in the
fact that we instinctively in all of
our actions, and indeed in all of our
aspirations attempt to assimilate our
selves to the course of nature. In
everything about us we see prodigious
displays of development in the min
eral and agricultural world, we see a
degree of precocity in our offspring
that was never known in any otLer
section of the country. Here nature
advances by strides, and in every de-
partment of life we are naturally
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-17

prompted to endeavor to keep
pace with her. This proposition
applies to everything in our social
career, but the rule will not work.
The farmer, the mechanic, the mer-
chant must be governed in all his op-
erations by an adherence to the strict
rules of investment and compensa-
tion. Twenty-Five years ago million
ares acquired their fortunes by a profit
of six per cent. per annum on their in
vestments. Now we want five hundred
cent. per month, and in the expectation
of getting 1t we live accordingly.
The complaints of farmers, the fail
ures of merchants and spectators that
come upon us as rain drops fall, are all
attributable to the fact that none of
us use the opportunities that nature
has given us on this coast Alright.
There is an iAf1exible logic in every
thing and if we do not observe its rules
we have no right to complain.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-17
The Beginning.

"COming events cast their shadows
before;" and by telegram we learn that
in Mississippi at place called Laurel
Hill, near the State line, on the 18th
Of May collision occurred between
the whites and the blacks. The ne
groes were the aggressors, and began
the trouble by killing white man in
cold blood. A posse started out and a
fight ensued in which three negroes
were killed, and two white men are
unaccounted for. This is but the be-
ginning of the end. 1t is said that
there are eleven hundred negroes un-
der arms in this locality, and that
they intend to carry out programme
of carnage and robbery. This is as
certain to be continued consequence
of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments of the Constitution and
kindred legislation, as it is positive
that the sun will rise and set. How
to stop the evil is proposition that
will tax the ingenuity of our ablest
statesmen. The war of races is inevi-
table, and it is certain which party
in the contest will go to the wall.
There is no sort of logic in the at
tempted admixture of the two races.
They will not harmoniously commin-

that staggers one in its contempla-
