The Sacramento Boiler Works.

At No. AZ Fremont street. corner of Mission,
San Francisco, are busy at several jobs in
their line. In the shop now is q new patent
boiler which they think will be tirst-class
thing 1t is the invention of Mr.. 4. III. Thomp-
son, of this city, and this is the first one made
1t is claimed for this boiler that it is a great
economizer of fuel. 1t will raise steam in
about fifteen minutes, and keep up steam
with about one-third Of the coal used by an
ordinary boiler. This boiler will be used by
Mr.. Miller in grist mill in this city.
They are also making at these works a
small boiler to go into launch to be used
on Clear Lake. This launch is to be run by
jets of water forced from its sides by the
steam, against the water in which it floats :;
no propeller or wheel will be used. This
principle has lately been tried in England
with more success than when experiments
were made with it formerly. The boiler in
this case is quite small and is of a new type.
The same firm made the boilers for the
steamer Ldkepor, which made twenty-one
miles per hour with her boiler under pressure
of one hundred and twenty pounds. The
boilers were tested at two hundred and
twenty pounds.
Messrs Hall IL Kelshaw, proprietors Of
these works, inform us that they design, if
possible, to have completed for exhibition at
the next Mechanics fair an iron steam
launch, to show the people of this city that
such things can be made here AS well as in
EnSianu Doth vi the proprletors nave mao
a great deal of experience in this line in Eng
land in the large ship-yards, and desire to do
something of the kind on this coast. They
are making also at present number of iron
tanks for an oil refinery in Los Angeles
county. They are busiest at present, how
ever, in making tanks for the new beet-sugar
mill. This is being built for the California
Sugar Manufacturing Company, an enter
prise which is about ready to start up at An
drus' Island. Messrs. Hall X Kelshaw are su-
perior workmen and personally superintend
every job before leaving the works, SO all who
deal with them may rely upon promptness
and good work.-Bdy City.

Russian Leaders.

The Grand Duke Nicholas is fine-look-
ing, tall, forty-six years old, a brother of
the Gar, as naughty prince as the House
of Romanoff has ever produced, and a
soldier as devoid of military history as
any review and parade guardsman. Alb
dull Kerim Pasha is the actual Comman-
der-in-C Chief of his army. The Grand
Duke Nicholas is mere fgurehead,
guided and commanded by his Chief of
staff, Gen. Nepokoytchizky, the Moltke
of Russia. He has been in active service
since the age of sixteen, or for thirty
years past; but he has had scarcely any
field experience. He spent few days in
Sebastopol during the siege, and was,
when quite youth, attached for some two
years to the general staff of the Army of
the Caucasus, where he took part in few
skirmishes with the Cherkesses. He was
brought up as a field engineer, and is at
present the chief of all the military en-
gineers of the empire, with General Tod
tleben as his assistant. The Grand Duke
is married to the daughter of Prince Pc
ter, of Oldenburg, and has two sons one
of whom, the Grand Duke Nicholas, jr., a
youth of twenty, is with him in the Ca
pacity OF an aide-decamp. The Grand
Duke is the third son of Car Nicholas,
and is accordingly an uncle of the two
princely sailors at present in this country
The chief of the general staff in the
Danubian army, and the man who will &C
tually lead and command the Russian
forces is Pole. General Nepokoytchiz-
ky's origin has for long time been a
hindrance to his promotion, but his abil-
tiles are too great not to be ultimately
acknowledged. He was, during the war
of 1S53-54, chief of staff in 9Th Army
Corps, commanded by General Luders.
He was the leading spirit in all the oper-
ations on the Danube during the war, and
has now the incalculable advantage of
operating on field perfectly familiar to
him. He has picked out for Brigadiers
and Division Generals men who served
under him twentyfour years ago as Cap
tains and Majors, and who, accordingly,
know the Danubian region just as well as
he does.-Neao York Sun.

Queer Quest for a Wife.

The Baltimore Sun says Quite sem
sation was created at the office of Bayview
trustees in the City Hall yesterday by a
seventy -year-old farmer, who applied for
permit to visit Bayview Asylum for the
purpose of choosing wife. The novel
wife seeker is German, living in Balti
more county, on the Belair road, and
speaks so little English that his wishes
were not fully understood until addressed
in his mother tongue by Colonel Snyder.
He then stated in business-like way
that he wanted wife and wished to take
his choice from the females at Bayview
The sincerity of the old man in urging
his singular request caused his hearers to
smile, and he appeared annoyed at the
matter being treated with levity. He
said that seven years ago, wanting wife,
the idea struck him that perhaps he could
find one at Bayview. He obtained per-
mission to visit the institution, made
known his request and was aided by the
superintendent in making asuitable selec-
ton from the large number on hand. He
"popped the question" without cere-
mony. The woman consented and the
marriage ceremony was solemnized,
the couple living very happily together
until her death three years ago. She
made him good frau, he said, and now
that he has revered her memory three
years, he wishes to try the Bayview lot
terry once more. Colonel Snyder fur
nishcd permit to the institution, accom-
panied by a note to Superintendent Mitch
ell to accommodate the bearer, and the
old man went on his way rejoicing. In
company with his wife, both of them as
happy as the circumstances would per-
init. Pureyor Hiss upgallantly suggests
that if it become generally known that
applicants go to Bayview for wives the
institution will have to be enlarged.

A New BREED OF DOMESTIC CATTLE
1t is stated in the Turf, Field and
Farm, an agricultural journal, that the
farmers in Nebraska have commenced
the domestication of the buffalo. The
wild animals, while young, are introduced
among herds of the tame stock, of course
only one or two at time. Half and
quarter breeds are found to be very
hardy, and in the yield of milk, the cows
raised of mixed stock give even more
than an average yield of rich milk The
experiment promises well, as the endur-
ance of the wild animals is impaired to
the domestic stock. In this way the ex-
termination of the species will take new
form, and when wild buffaloes become
legendary creatures the progeny of the
race will still exist in a modified, though
probably more useful form.

need be said in regard to them. We wish

THE Dodge County Democrat, of Ju-
neau, Wis, reports that there are in that
county twenty cheese factories - ten
American, nine Limburger, and one
Switzer. During the season Of 1875 the
ten American factories were supplied
with the milk from 2,520 cows, and the
total number of pounds of cheese manu-
featured were 400, 246, of which nearly
100000 pounds were made at the factory
at Juneau. The nine Limburger fac
tories were supplied with the milk of
res cows, and during the season 10000
pounds of cheese were manufactured.
The Switzcr cheese factory received
milk from IS cows, and the total number
of pounds of cheese manufactured were

American Grape Culture.

To many readers it may be of interest
to learn somewhat of the progress of the
grape culture in this country.
A little over quarter of century has
passed when the acres devoted to grape
culture numbered barely one hundred.
True, almost every family had one or two
vines; but its growth, as market fruit,
was little thought of. Time has passed,
and we now stand to-day, ranging from
Maine to Utah and California, with
over one hundred and sixty thousand
acres devoted to vineyard culture. Add
to this the private gardens in which from
ten to fifty vines are grown; and we
think hundred thousand acres will not
more than cover the ground occupied.
There are really no statistics from which
to found any statement, and the one
made has been from forty years of
records, observations, and memoranda of
travel.
The writer who has been working this
up for the Wine and Fruit Reporter, of
New York City, has taken all the States
from Maine to California. The southern
part of Illinois is we'll adapted to many
of the choicest varieties; and the means
of rapid transportation to paying mar
kets, as table fruit, has lately increased
the planting of the vine upon large
scale. In every part of Illinois and In
diana all the varieties that ripen with the
Concord, or, say early in September, can
be successfully grown, and many of the
late ripening kinds, such as Goethe, Ca
tawba, Wilder, &C., come to perfection in
the southern portion of their territories.
Computing the number of acres in Hi
nois and Indiana devoted now to vine
yard culture, as bearing vines, the esti-
mate is made of eight thousand five hun
dred.-Prdirie Farmer.

DUCKLINGs MORE PROFITABLE THAN
CHICKENs.-The saying often applied to
young ducks that "they eat more than
they are WORTH" may be very unjust
one. Several years ago we were
speaking with q woman who raised
yearly large numbers of ducks and
chickens, regarding the comparative
amount of food consumed to bring
them to their full growth. She
stated that "ducks eat less in proportion
to their growth than chickens" Our
readers may be surprised at this, but
upon giving the matter little thought
they will understand the reason. 1t is
because the ducklings reach maturity
sooner than the chickens, and, of course,
the longer it takes to bring creature to
maturity, the greater the expense, not
only of food, but of time and trouble.
Experiment has demonstrated the fact
that, with the same quantity of food and
care, the ducklngs in ninety days from
the shell, may be made to weigh nine
or ten pounds per pair, or over, while
chickens, in the same length of time,
come to weigh only six or seven pounds a
pair. Hence the remark quoted at the
commencement of this paper does not
apply when ducklings are properly and
intelligently managed.-Pouttry World.
