Mr.. Marcus D. Boruck, he Of the ''hoss'
paper, is not happy. He Is not satisfied
with the way things are going in Califor-

never heard Of Mr.. Boruck raising his
powerful voice in opposition to carpetbag-
gers in the Southern States. But here is
what he says in regard to the evil beyond
the Sierra "The importation OF carpet
baggers into this State, to hold positions
in the Federal Offices, must be stop
ped; or it may be deemed best to cast q
vote in this State, that will assist in bring

Offices Of California. There are Californians
enough, deserving men, to fill those places,
without importing any from the East"

THE THIEVES ARRESTED.

SAN FRANcIsco, December IL.
For the past three months there have
been, at various times, large quantities Of
merchandise stolen from the freight cars
Of the Central Pacific Railroad, between
Oakland and Sacramento. Thefts have
beer committed at different stations be-
tween these two points, and the amount Of
property taken is estimated at from 81 500
to 81, 900 in value. The plundering has
been done by an organized gang, whose
headquarters were in this city and 5acra-
mento, the stolen property being sent
down the river from the latter city, to be
disposed Of here. During the past two
weeks several OF the thieves have been ar
rested at different places along the road,
and this morning the efforts Of the detec-
tives to discover into whose hands the
stolen property passed, were rewarded by
the arrest Of A. Lochman, the keeper Of .
general merchandise store on Montgom-
cry street. near Pacific, who was locked mp
on Q charge Of receiving stolen property.

The time has arrived for taking the
census Of 1880. The shaping Of the ar
raugements for this important work is in
the competent hands Of 8. 8. Cox, and
Congress should give him an opportunity
to make it thorough and exhaustive. This
country has never yet had o complete
census, or n more than approximately
complete. 1t has never, for instance, had
aIy trustworthy computation Of church
membership. The religious census has
besn based simply on the seating capacity
OF church edjfces, thus giving = result four
or ave times ton large to some denomina-
sions, and TO others far less than their real
strength. This method is altogether par
tial md inadequate. The only way TO take
. perfect religious census is to obtain from
each individual adult his own classification.
This will show which sect is growing the
most rapidly, and whether, as it is claimed,
the Rationalists and Science Infidels are
really gaining ground. Such information
will be really useful in . thousand ways,
and ought to be attained in the coming
census. Let Congress make bountiful
provision for the work about to begin.
The ofscers who have it in charge will not.
Of course. be expected to squander money;
but IL the country wishes to take . stand
by the side Of other nations in . knowledge
Of its " resources and actual condition,
II must substitute generous Legislation for
the parsimony that has formerly been ex-
hibited in this field.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
HOgs-A Look Ahead.

From the National Live Stock journal.
Last month the Journal cautioned its
readers against hasty abandonment of
the business of raising corn and making
pork, on the ground that, taking one year
with another, no business was certainly
more remunerative. We now desire to
call attention to new aspect of the ques-
ton. II is certain that nothing has exert
ed so powerful an influence in sustaining
the prices and stimulating the production
of beef in this country, for the past year or
two, as the foreign demand, brought about
by the improved methods OF transportation,
that have enabled us to place our fresh
meats in the English markets in good con-
dition. Hitherto this trade has been con-
fined mainly to our beef, but lattcrly it
has extended largely to pork; and, by a
paragraph which we publish elsewhere, it
will be noticed that in single week, ear
ly in June, 2,300 live hogs were received
in Liverpool from America.
We believe that there can be no posi-
BILE difficulty in the way Of transportation
of live hogs to England from this country
in large quantities. They bear transpor-
tation much better, and with less shrink
age, than any other kind of live stock, and
there is scarcely limit to the extent to
which the trade may be extended.
We do not know how extensive the de-
mand for fresh pork may be i'll England,
but we understand that in some sections 1t
is enormous; and if this be true, we should
not be surprised to see the shipment Of live
hogs from this country carried on to such
an extent as to have material effect up
on such prices at home. At all events we
shall watch the further developments Of
thc trade with interest.

Gov. Grimes Of IOwn.

From an Exchange.
One day the Governor went to Burling-
ton, and when on the way to the hotel,
dressed very plainly, and making no pre-
tensions as to appearance, he was accosted
by IL spruce young man, who evidently
took the Governor to be Il porter, and who
asked him to carry his trunk to the hotel.
The young stranger had promised to give
him quarter for the job, and when the
trunk was safely landed in the hotel ten
dcred the porter Mexican quarter, which,
however, was good for only twenty cents.
One special errand that the young man
had at Burlington was to meet the Cover
nor of the State, so that a short time after
his arrival he made his way to the Execu-
tiye's room and inquired for Gov Grimes.
The porter who carried the trunk met him
smilingly, and astounded the young man
as he had never been astoundcd before,
by telling him that he was Gov. Grimes,
The stranger managed to recover from his
confusion, and made his application for
an Office. The Governor cut him very
short, however, and curtly told him that
any person who would agree to pay for an
honest job in an honest way, and then
when the job was done to defraud the por
ter out of u part of his earnings was not a
proper man for any position of responsible
ty, and would never gain his the Cover
nor's) recommendation for anything of
the kind

Washing Blankets.

Seeing an inquiry for the best way TO
wash blankets some time since, | waited
to see if some one would not give way
which read u long time ago, | have
tried it and know it is good:
Put II boiler of soft water to heat; dis
solve and add to it Il half bar of Kirk S
soap-cither the white or blue. Put your
blankets in washtub, laying them i'll
somewhat like coil of rope, so they can
be easily handled Heat the suds scalding
hot; pour it over the blankets; punch
them down, and cover with quilt or some
heavy material to keep the steam from es-
Gaping. Let them remain till morning;
then squeeze and rub lightly with the
hands; on no account use wash-boards for
blankets. Then have clean soft rinse
water, but not more than blood warm;
put the blankets into this, but don't wiring
them, either with your hands or clothes
wringer; but run them from suds into
basket, and let them drain, so as to carry
as little of the dirty suds as possible into
the rinse water. Get them as free from
the suds as you can, and then drain them
as before, and put them through a second
tub of clean soft water. Put them into
your basket, without wringing them; let
them drain, and they are then ready for
the line, Hang them lengthwise by the
extreme outer edge, not through the mid
die, and put the clothes-pins near togeth-
er. not more than fingers length apart.
When the blankets are about half dry re-
verse the edges, and let the edge hang
down that was pinned to the line.

Too Sweet for AnythinG-Music and

Here the days are full of melody. There

so ut Saratoga, as ilirtations are the prin-

tuned to the StcntOrian voice of old Ncp-

Give us the monody of the sea, unbrokcn

music is an inspiration. Nothing could
be more charming than these beautiful
moonlight nights whose hours glide away
upon sea Of melody. The very air is full
of witchcry, and if our Saratoga bellies do
not indulge in airtations to their hearts
content, it is simply because they have no

And flip, flap, had him on the shore.
He was Il beauty. A little sm-fish, about

Presently Charley Annknccht coughcd,

How funny the frogs sound over in the

And then we laughed "A long time at the
frogs. A long long time and very hearth

But Mr. Dunlap hshed on very silently,
and by and by he said the fish wouldn t
bite when there was so much noise. So
we held our hush and the fish bit. But
they didn't bite any of us very badly.
The fishing is excellent almost any
where in the lake. That evening on the
upper lake one of the boys caught nine
