San FranciscO'S So, 500, GOO Hotel.

The builder and owner of this most
elegant and costly hotel in America, and
I believe in the world, is one of the most
prominento of San Francisco's millionaires,
Mr.. E. J. Baldwin, says correspondent.
Mr.. Baldwin bears his millions very
modestly. His fortune is variously esti-
mated by the gossiping public to be any
where from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900,
gold. He came to this coast in an early
day-in 1862, believe-from Racine,
Wis, and made his money by hard work,
shrewd good judgment, and by attend
ing to his own business. He is quiet,
thoughtful, dignified appearing man;
thinks twice while he speaks cnce, but is
very public-spirited, and has done a great
deal to improve the city. He owns the
largest and finest public market in the
city, and is just about to erect another,
much handsomer and possessing many
novel and original features. He built
the Baldwin Hotel and the Baldwin The
alter because he believed the city needed
hotel that should be as elegant as money
could make it, and theater of the same
magnificence. He has succeeded most
perfectly in excelling all other attempts
at hotel building and furnishing in
America, and has theater that cannot
be surpassed on this coast
Among Mr.. Baldwin's other possess
sions, he has "small farm" of $4,000
acres at Los Angeles, whence the table
of the hotel will be almost entirely sup
piled He grows oranges, lemons, peaches,
pears, apples and strawberries the year
round, and, in fact, all the fruits OF the
temperate zone; also, almonds, pecans
and every kind OF fruit; vegetables of
every description; wheat which will be
Toured at his own mil, corn, ETC.. beeves,
pork, poultry, mutton, milk, butter,
eggs, and nearly everything that will be
needed for his commissary Leaving
out the question of economy, everything
will be brought fresh from the farm
daily. California mutton is acknowl-
edged to be equal to, if not better than,
English mutton, and Southdown mutton
raised here is emphatically pronounced
by epicures the best in the world. Mr..
Baldwin has the only fold of Southdowns
in the State. His flock numbers several
hundred, and it is from this his hotel
will be supplied.

Cloves.

Cloves are unopened flowers of small
evergreen tree, that resemblesin appear
ance the laurel or the bay. 1t is native.
of the Molucca or Spice islands, but has
been carried to all the warmer parts of
the world, and is largely cultivated in the
tropical regions of America. The flow
ers are small in size aud grow in large
numbers in clusters at the very end of
the branches. The cloves We use are
flowers gathered before they are opened
and whilst they are still green. After
being gathered they are smoked by
wood fire and then dried in the sun.
Each consists Of two parts, round head,
which is the four pc ais or leaves of the
flowers rolled up. inclosing a number of
stocks or filaments. The other part of
the Glove is terminated with four points,
and is, in fact, the flower cup and the
unripe seed vessel. All these parts may
be distinctly shown if a few leaves are
soaked a short time in hot water. when
the leaves soften and readily unroll.
The smell of cloves is strong and aro-
matte, but not unpleasant. Their taste
is pungent, acrid and lasting. Both the
taste and smell depend upon the quantity
of oil they contain. Sometimes the oil
is separated from the cloves before they
are sold, and the odor and taste in con-
sequence is much weakened by this pro-
ceeding.

This is nation Of enlightened freemen.
Education is the cornerstone and foundation
of our government. The people are free to
think and act for themselves, and that they may
act wisely it is necessary that they be well in

Hottest aims. Unto us are committed impor-
tant health trusts, which we hold NOT merely in
our own behalf but for the benefit of others.
In order that we may be able to discharge the
obligations of our trusteeship and thus prove
worthy of our generous commission, it is neces-
sary that we study the art of preserving health
and prolonging life. 1t is of paramount impor-
lance to every person not only to understand
the means for the preservation of health, but
also to know what remedies should be employed
for the alienation of the common ailments of
life. Not that we would advise every man under
all circumstances to attempt to be his own ply
sician, but we entreat him to acquire sufficient
knowledge of his system and the laws that gov
ern it, that he may be prepared to take care of
himself properly. and thereby prevent sickness
and prolong life. In no text book will the
people find the subjects of physiology and
hygiene, or the science of life and the art of
preserving health, more scientifically discussed

The Camphor Tree.

One of the most useful and magnif-
cent productions of the vegetable king
dom that enriches China, and more par
ticularly the provinces of Kiangsi and
Canton, is the camphor tree. This
stupendous laurel, which often adorns the
banks of the rivers, was in several places
found above fifty feet high, with it's stem
twenty feet in circumference. The Chi
nese themselves affirm that it sometimes
attains the height of more than three
hundred feet and circumference greater
than the extended arms of twenty men
could embrace. Camphor is obtained
from the branches by sleeping them,
while fresh cut, in water for two or three
days, and then boiling them till the gum,
in the form of white jelly, adheres to
a stick which is used in constantly STIR
ring the branches. The fluid is then
poured into glazed vessel, where it
concreates in few hours. To purify
it the Chinese take a quantity of finely
powdered earth, which they lay at the
bottom of copper basin; over this they
place layer of camphor and then an
other layer of earth, and SO on until the
vessel is nearly filled, the last or topmost
layer being of earth. They cover this
last layer with the leaves of plant
called polio, which seems to be species
of the mentha (mint). They now invert
a second basin over the first and make it
alright by luting. The whole is then
submitted to the action of a regulated
fire for certain length of time, and
then left to cool gradually. On separat-
ing the vessels the camphor is found to
have sublimed and to have adhered to
the upper basin. Repetitions of the
same process complete its refinement.
Beside yielding this valuable ingredient,
the camphor tree is one of the principal
timber trees of China, and is used not
only in building but in most articles of
furniture. The wood is dry and of light
color, and, although light and easy to
work, is durable'aDl not likely to be in
iured by insects.

RMssIa's Declaration Of War.

The following il the text of the
declaration Of war against Turkey by
the emperor Of Russia;
Our faithful and beloved subjects
know the strong interest we have con-
stantly felt in the destinies of the OPP
pressed Christian population Of Turkey.
Our desire 10 ameliorate and assure their
lot has been shared by the whole Russian
nation, which now shows itself ready to
bear fresh sacrifices to alleviate the posi-
ton of the Christians in the Balkan
peninsula. The blood and property Of
our faithful subjects have always been
dear to us, and our whole reign attests
our constant solicitudc to preserve to
Russia the benefit of peace. This solic
tude never failed to actllate us during
the deplorable events which occurred in
Herzegovina, Bosnia and Bulgaria.
Our object before all was to effect
amelioration in the position of the Chris
tilns in the East, by means of pacific
negotiations; and, in concert with the
great European powers, our allies and
friends for two years, we have made in
cessant efforts to induce the porte to
effect such reforms rs would protect the
Christians in Bosnia, Herzegovina and
Bulgaria, from the arbitrary measures of
local authorities. The accomplishment
of these reforms was absolutely stipu'
lated by anterior engagements contracted
by the porte toward the whole of ELL
rope. Our efforts, supported by diplo-
matte representations made in common
by the other governments, have not,
however, attained their object. The
porte has remained mistaken in it's for
nal refusal of any effective guarantee
for the security Of its Christian subjects,
and has rejected the conclusions of the
Constantinople conference. Wishing to
essay every possible means of concila-
ton in order to persuade the porte, we
proposed to the other cabinets to draw
up special protocol comprising the
most essential conditions of the Constan-
tinople conference, and to invite the
Turkish government to adhere to this
international act, which states the ex-
IRENE limits of our peaceful demands.
But our expectation was not fulfilled
The porte did not defer to this unai j.
nous wish of Christian Europe and did
not adhere to the conclusions of the
protocol. Having exhausted pacific ef
forts, we are compelled by the naughty
obstinacy of the porte to proceed to more
decisive acts, feeling that our equity and
our own dignity enjoin it. BY her re-
fusal, Turkey places lis under the neces-
sity of having recourse to arms. Pro-
foundly convinced of the justice of Our
cause, and humbly committing ourselves
to the grace and help of the Most High,
we make known to our faithful subjects
that the moment foreseen when we pro-
nounced words in which all Russia re.
sponded with complete unanimity has
now arrived. We expressed the inten-
ton to act Independently when we
deemed it necessary and when Russia's
honor should demand it. In now invok-
ing the blessing of God upon our valiant
armies we give them the order to cross
the Turkish frontier. ALEXANDER.

InterV leWlng q bank President,

The fact that bookkeeper could steal
Sl60, 900 from bank at the close Of q
days work has caused a great deal Of
excitement among depositors. The ques-
ton comes up; Is any mans money safe
in any bank in New York l had talk,
says New York correspondent, with
ono Of the most eminent of our bank
presidents. He said that there was ab-
solutely no protection for the bank II
the paying teller and the bookkeeper
conspire. No vigilance on the part of
the president on cashier can afford the
bank protection il these officers are not
honest. The head officials might stand
one over the paying teller and the other
over the bookkeeper. Even then, unless
these men did the subordinates' work,
they could carry on their little game
right under their eyes. The most i'm.
portsnt officer we have in the bank is
the paying teller. He must have n
peculiar combination to fit him for that
post. He must be quick, expert Mt fig,
ures, courteous, prompt and honest He
must have nm intuition that admits OF no
delay, even in doubtful cases.
1t is easy to find men who have one
and sometimes two of these qualifca-
tons. Sharp men are apt to be crusty,
and courteous men slack. But to find
man who is both courteous and sharp is
difficult. The man who stands Mt that
window paying checks seldom makes n
mistake. He handles million of money
a day. Last week check was handed
him. AS soon us he saw the check he
saw that something was wrong. He had
an impression that the number was too
large. The check was 80, 500, and drawn
by one of our most eminent mercantile
firms. The more he looked at the check
the less satisfied he was with it. 1t was
sent back to the banking house which
sent it. Tue party who presented it was
detained b.y detective. The check
proved to be forged, but 50 well exc
cuted that the firm would at once have
paid it if their check book had shown
any such amount drawn at the time.
There is great deal of excitement pro-
duccd by these occasional embezzle-
ments. But the public do not count up
the great army of bank officials who do
not break through nor steal.

Getting Square with the Captain.

A good story has been told of lisp
ing officer having been victimized by a
brother oi1icer-who was noted for his
cool deliberatiou and strong nerve-and
of his "getting square" with him in the
following manner: The cool joker, Cap
tain Blackney, was always quizzing the
lisping officer, II lieutenant, for his nerv-
BUSINESS, and said one day at mess ::
"Why, nervousness is all nonsense; I
tell you, no brave man is ever nervous.
"Well," inquired his lisping friend,
show would You act thpothing thell
with an inth futhee thould drop itthelf
in walled angle in which you had taken
thelter from company of tharpthoo-
terth, and where it wath thertain if you
put out your nothe you'd get peppered?"
" How?" said the captain, with look at
his brother officers. "Why, take it
coolly, and spit on the fussee." The
party broke up and all retired. The next
morning number of soldiers were as
sembled on parade, when along came the
lisping lieutenant. Lazily opening his
eyes, he remarked to cluster of officers ::
81 want to try an ekthperiment this
morning and thee how extheedingly
cool Tom Blackney can be-" Saying this
he walked deliberately into the ca plains
quarters, where a fire was burning on
the hearth, and placed in its hottest.part
a powder canister, and instantly retreat
ed. There was but one door of egress
from the quarters, and that opened upon
the parade ground. The occupant gave
one look at the canister, comprehended
the situation, and in moment made for
the door, but it was fastened on the out
side. "Charley, let me out, if you love
me p shouted the captain. "Thpit on
the canither !" shouted he in return. Not
a moment was to be lost; the captain
had at first snatched blanket to cover
himself with but soon dropping it, he
raised the window, and out bounded,
sans everything but short undergar-
ment, and thus, with hair almost on
end, he dashed on to full parade
ground. The shouts which hailed him
brought out the whole of the occupants
Of the barracks to see what was the mat
ter, and the dignified captain pulled a
sergeant in, front of him to hide himself.
why didn't you thpit on it ?" inquired
the lieutenant. "Because there were no
sharpshooters in front to stop a retreat"
answered the captain. "All I've got to

"that you might thafely have done it;
for I'll tware there walnut a tihngle

Little four-year-old Lulu was very

A Jonesborough penn paper is re-

days ago, while the sun was shining
brightly and the sky was clear, a lump
of snow weighing $50 pounds suddenly
fell to the earth and remained unmelted
for several days, during which time it
was visited by curious crowds.
