Immense fortunes have been made in
California in the rise on the stock of tho Little
Utah and Sierra Nevada mines within the last
three weeks, the stock having gone from So to
$500 per share. Flood, of the firm of Flood &
O'Brien, has made s5,OO0,0OO. Senator Jones,

in fortune, has made 81 100000.
The Pension Office in Washington
gives notice to whom it may concern that the
services of pension-awyers and claim-agents
are of no value whatever in advancing the in
terests of applicants for pensions. The bureau
furnishes blanks that cover the whole business,
on application, and they can be filed by any
notary public, without help of the professed ex-
perts.
The evil-starred Pacific Mail Steam

The Balance Of Trade.

From the monthly statement of the
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics to the
Secretary of the Treasury the excess of
exports over imports of merchandise
appears to have been as follows: Month
ending Aug. 81, 1877, SAL $50; month
ending Aug. 81, 1873, go, 196, 300; eight
months ending Aug. 81, 1877, S3S,951,-
995; eight months ending Aug. 81,
1873, $1SS,501, 0S7. The excess of ex-
ports over imports of gold and silver
(coin and bullion) appears to have been
as follows: Month ending Aug. 81,
1877, $41S,640; month ending Aug. 81,
1878, $320,22S; eight months ending
Aug. 81, 1877, $25 Asa, 551; eight months
ending Aug. 81, 1878, 1921, 1888. These
statements indicate an increasing flow
of specie and of American securities
toward this country.

For His Wife's Sake.

A Newark bachelor dropped in, the
'other evening, to see a married friend
whose wife was absent from home on q
prolonged visit. He found him smok-
ing desperately at cigar nearly foot
long. why" asked he, breathlessly,
where on earth did you get such a
preposterous cigar as that, Charley"
" Had it built by contract" was the re-
spouse. "You see," continued the
smoker, explanatorily, 81 promised my
wife before she went away, bless her,
that / wouldn't smoke more than six
cigars a day. Promises to wife are
sacred, you know, and / mean TO keep
mine il l have to get cigars as long as a
lamp-post. "-NeWdrk Call.

A Batch of Valuable Receipts.

To make a nice warm rug, take a coarse cof-
fee sack, bind it with any color of wooden goods
you desire; then stretch it in frame, pin any
pattern on you like, and trace around it with
chalk or lead pencil, remove PATTERN then, with
an IRON hook, draw your rags through they
ought to be half an inch wide, and ought to
stand up on the right side of the rug one-half
inch; work in every other square of the canvas,
and have the wrong side smooth. Do not cut
your work on the right side to make it even AZ
some do; draw the strips through, all the same
length and then there is no need of it. and il
will repay you in the end for, if cut, in shaking
the mat the pieces will fall out in time.
To pickle onions, get the small, picking
onions: peel, and pack in crooks, with q layer
of salt and layer of onions until the crock is
full; put weight on them, and let them stand
about two days; then wash them in cold water,
and place back in the crooks; then make sirup
of vinegar, enough to cover them, aud cents
worth of cloves and peppers mixed; put in a
bag, and boil until the vinegar is well seasoned
with the spices; then pour over the onions not,
and cover, but not tight, until cold.
Sweet Picked Apples--Take as many sweet
apples as you WISH peel and cut in quarters,
cutting the core out; put in your porcelain
kettle about one quart of cider vinegar, sweet
ened TO suit your TASTE q few cloves allspice and
cinnamon; when it has come to boil, drop n
few apples in at time and when you can pass
a broom corn through them easily they must be
taken off Immediately and put in crooks. When
they are all done, make strip of vinegar,
enough to cover them, spices the same as before,
tied i'll bag, and sugar to taste boil good, and
pour over the apples hot; cover the same as for
onions.
Peaches can be done in the same way, but if
very ripe do not boil them, only pour the strip
over them boiling hot The apples can be
used as soon as done, and you will say they are
splendid. But the peaches ought not to be
opened until Christmas. GEoRGINA.

For Bows.

Boys, throw aside pride as you would thick
coat on hot day, and lay hold of any string
within reach 1t may be only thread at first,
but pull away, and you may find a strong Irvine
at the end of that, and then tiny rope, and then
a stout cable. Thas is the way they sometimes
bridge a chasm. They first fly a kite across, and
pull over the kite string then larger and larger
cord, until they have made substantial con-
nection between the shores You wish to bridge
this great chasm of want that you find at your
feet, and you will not find a surer way Don't
wait for ga good job" something that you may
be proud to accept: but fall in with the very
humble work you may be able to find near at
hand
Another point not less important il, turn every
penny to the best account Even pennies will
buy something i'll these times of low prices, and
a dollar may be made to yield very good ac-
count of itself if its spending is carefully
planned beforehand. just try some day when
you have dollar to lay out, and see what you
can make it bring you in. 1t is exactly the same
thing when the farmers boy or girl brings a
dollars worth of produce to the store to exchange
for goods. The great secret of having what
one really wants is to spend money wisely and
after much forethought Don't be whcedled
into buying what You do not want just because
someone wants to sell. AUNT EVA

Death Of a Gallant Oficer.

The news of the death of Col. Lewis,
of the Nineteenth Infantry, killed by
the Cheyennes mt Monument Station,
Kansas, was received here at military
headquarters and among old officers of
this department with deep sorrow. He
had fought the Cheyennes, Dog Sol
diers, the Sioux and the worst savages
of the plains in many battles, and with
marked resolution and bravery. Old
settlers who remember the days when
he was Adjutant of the Fifth Infantry,
and when, also, he went out in the ex-
petition of 1866 in the Mormon troubles,
joined in the sorrow. In the face of
numerous strong bands of hostile In
dians he marched across the plains with
a column of the Eighteenth Infantry
from Fort Leavenworth to Utah, dis
lance of LOO miles, requiring over two
months in the march. A question rising
during that famous march through the
American desert rs to which route should
be taken, he unhesitatingly chose the
Pole creek, then an unknown and in
some places almost invisible track,
through an unknown country, where old
guides were unknown. In many hard
ships and untold dangers the command
accomplished that wonderful undertake
ing, which stands almost without a par
allel in history, reaching Utah without
the loss of man or an animal. In his
command at Camp Douglas his prompt
ness and energy at time when Brigham
Young was at the height of his power
saved the lives of many Gcntiles and
did much to sap the strength of the
Mormon power, Notwithstanding the lack
of the Governments support. He went
thence to Gen. Terry's department, Mon
tana, afterward serving with his usual
cool judgment and daring on that off
GERS staff. Himself the commanding
officer, he was at the head of his soldiers,
pursuing hot trail, struck the Indians
Unexpectedly, and with three men was
shot down before relief could come.
No officer of his rank, long service and
reputation has been killed since the Gus
ter massacre.-Omdhd Bee.

Aunt Lucy's Chat With the ohildren.
Let me continue TO talk 10 the children. We
often hear II said, Boys will DO boys," and
@Children will be children" but it is said gen
orally by persons that are particularly annoyed
by the youngsters, and would like them born
old folks l, for one, wish that boys would re-
main boys longer, and that children would not
hurry from babyhood to manhood and woman
hood.
Pray what has become of childhood and its
happy hoursy The sterner realities of life come
all too soon. / agree with Grandma Oldways
that boys and girls should know their place; be
attentive, polite, respectful and mannorly; but
this part OF their education is too sadly neg
iected- Nowadays the doll is ignored almost
before the little one is beyond babyhood, and
little folks know nothing at all about the fun
children had when We were young Do chill
dren sew patchwork any morey Do they sew
for their dolsy Do they have cunning little tea
oil; but they are dressed in their finery and
promenade the sidewalk till late. There il one
little miss that passes our residence who looks
like aballet-dancer-her dress shamefuly short,
hoops immense, hose the most glaring; and
when look at her wonder what the future
may be.
Parents, take care of your tender buds Keep
them children as long AZ you can. 1t is for you
To make men and women of them But it must
be done gradually, with care and watchfulness,
with love and tenderness. In childhood you

Geraniums,

Geraniums are very easy to cultivate if
properly managed. To begin with, about mid
summer, and so along up to the last of Septem-
Der, obtain young, healthy cuttings. To root
them successfully, take coarse, clean sand,
about three inches in depth, insert the cuttings
about one to one and q half incin. hes there
press the sand firmly around them, and water
freely at first; afterward only water sparingly,
and, AZ soon AZ they commence to grow, pinch
back to make them stalky, or throw out
branches; for, if left to grow of their own ac-
cord or will, You will have plants very awkward
In appearance. Pot them now i'm wo-inch pots.
using soil made up of two-thirds garden soil,
one-third leaf mold, and little sand to keep
IT porous. In the autumn, change them into
three-lnch pots, and get them into the windows
before fires are made, and thereby acclimatize
them If the leaves are kept clean, in the man
ner recommended last week on @Window Gar
dening," you will have plants that will be sure
to attract attention by their green leaves, and
especially those of the tricolored varieties, of
which Mrs. Pollock is the type, even though
You have no blossoms Geraniums treated in
this way will bloom about the LIST of January, if
In sunny window, and continue in bloom all
through the winter.

This IL sign they are having too much water
In summer they should be bedded out and
your garden will be a mass of bloom until
frost. l advise to start new plants each year,
for ii is the young wood we have to depend
upon for bloom.
Geraniums are very easily grown from seed
Sow in very sandy soil at almost any time-in-
doors, of course-and, as soon as the seed
lings can be handled, pot off into smallest-size
pots. Keep them growing on until the roots
show through the hole in the bottom then shift
into next size. In this they will bloom.
If there are any readers who would like to
try to raise some from seed, and have none, l
will forward sufficient for an experiment for
two green stamps for expenses. RENNIE.
