SAN Francisco, Jan.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 2.
Fl. l.. Dodge, the new Su~perintend-
ent of the Mint in this city, signalized
his entry upon the duties of the posi-
ton this morning, by discharging rs
women aud two or three men. 1t has
not yet been ascertained whether this
means a reduction of force or merely a
change of employees.
Later intelligence is to the effect that
the changes noted at the mint are for
the purpose of effecting a reduction of
the force in accordance with the new
rules of the Civil Service. L. III. G..
Robertson is made Chief Clerk, vice
Frank Gross, removed, Gross taking
the position of Assistant Bookkeeper,
vice Gibson, resigned.
Hickox IL Spear, bankers, suspended
this morning. They state that they
expect the suspension to be only tenn
porary; that the assets of the firm are
more than sufficient t O cover the liza
bilities. For some little time past they
have been subjected to a considerable
drain on their esources,b but expected to
go on as usual. This morning however,
Laidlaw 81 Co., their New York cor.
respondents, called upon them to
make good their over-draits, which
they found unable to do. A statement
of the condition Of the firm will be
given the creditors as Don as it can be
made up.
A meeting of the creditors of the
suspended banking firm of Hickox 81
Spear will be held this evening. Mr..
Hickox was treasurer of the Pacific
Stock Exchange, and a number of the
members of that Board were deposit
ors in the bank, though none of them
are recognized as heavy defaulters.
The Exchange will not suffer by the
suspension, being amply secured by
the bond. A rutnor got about that the
bank was involved to the extent of
800. 900, growing out of bullion BUSH
ness with the Martin White Mining
Company, but inquiry at the office of
the company does Tot establish the
truth of the report. The secretary of
the company says they had bullion
transactions with the bank, but the adj
vances were about equal to the depos-
its. Bankers seemed to be surprised
over the news of the suspension. The
failure was not anticipated. The bank
always bore the reputation of doing a
small and safe business. 1t had very
few large depositors. Mr.. Hickox an
nounces that he will mortgage every
thing, il necessary, to pay dollar for
dollar. 1t ia generally considered a
square failure, aud the firm have the
sympathy of the business community.
The Yellow jacket Mining Com
pany levied ali assessment OF 81 per
share.
Papers have been filed by the Orig
inal Woodville Company, who have
commenced suit against the Justice
Company for the recovery of five mil
lion dollars in bullion, which the
compliments allege have been extract
ed from their location.

Setting Tires with Hot Water.

The use of hot water in place of fire for
expanding tires may not be new, but it is
less common than it ought TO ne, if we
are to accept as accurat: the results said to
be obtained in the workshop of the Mos
-Nizhni railroad, in Russia. There an
iron tank, one fourth filled with water, is
fixed near stationary boiler, from which
steam pipe is led through it, capable of
heating the water to 21s deg. Fahr. Into
this tho tire is plunged by means of q
portable crane, and, after an immersion
of from ten to fifteen minutes, is taken
out and Immediately placed on the wheel.
The officials of the railroad named above
made comparison of the two methods,
from which itappears, during six years.

per cent ran loose, and five per cent: were
broken; while, during a three years trial
Of water shrunken tires, less than one per

Careful experiments have shown that
wheat cut twelve to fourteen days before
the grain is fully ripe weighs heavier,
measures more, is of better quality, ard
yields larger proportion of flour, There
is going to be second crop of good hay
in many localities, on account Of the
recent rains. Grass, when made into hay
contains IA to Is per cent. of water; in
the green state some so per cent:4 The
dry part contains, besides its nutritious
sustance, gum, sugar and oil, and about
so per cent. of woody fibre. The time of
cutting grass has much to do with the
nutritious value of hay. When the leaves
and stems are green they contain large
quantities of sugar, gum, etc, part of
which is changed into woody hbre as
they ripen. A large quantity Of poor
hay is brought to market simply because
farmers are not particular as to the time
of cutting their hay.

restless, questioning. uneasy, thirsty boy.
He let the window fall on his fingers be-
fore the train had gone mile. lie stood
out on the platform until he was incrusted
two inches deep with ashes and dust and
cinders. He went to the water cooler and
got drink; then he came back and told
his mother he was hot, sDd went back
and got another drink. He drank about
four times per mile, seldom oftcner, un'
less he was seized with q sudden uncon-
trollable spasm Of thirst. 1.-The wasdrink-
ing, and somebody else came after
drink; the boy would suddenly seize the
cup he mad just set down ard refill it, and
drink as if though he had wrapped his
stomach in the desert of Sahara, glaring
suspiciously over the top of the cup at
the waiting passenger as ne drank. When
he was in his seat he watched the aisle
narrowly, and if he saw any passengers
get up and move tow ard the water
cooler. he would jump up and race for
it. If he got there first, he would drink and
snore over the cup until the thirsty trav-
eler forgot what he went down there after.
People began to wonder how much the
bov was gagged for, and if ne wasn't
rather straining his capacity. The renlot-
est hint or suggestion was enough to send
him back to the cooler. When the train
ran over creek, the water made him
think of his thirst. a .
When it ratified over long stretch of
dry prairie, the absence of water drove
him mad. I was afraid the supply of
water would give out before the boy was
filled UP, a2d he was rather small boy,
too. His interior circumference, think,
must have inclosed an area double in
extent to that inclosed by the exterior
belt. Near Waseca we ran nearly milo
without the boy making a stop st the
tank. I grew very nervous now, for I
was fearful that during such an unhesrd
of abstinence from water his pumps
would run dry. rust out, and he might
blow up. So leaned over the edge of
the seat and said carelesslv:
"By George, but I am thirsty. Won
der if there is any water in the car2'

me in fash with II wish you would

boy alone!;
A low, mocking murmur of applause
went through the car, a little of it for the
indignant mother, some of it for me. She
suppressed "yours truly" very success
fully, but it was too late. Long before
she had finished that blief sentence her
boy was down at the water-cooler hold
ing his eyes tight shut to keep the water
front running out of them, while he flood
his system as though be had taken q con-
tract to keep up a perennial freshet in

MARRIAGE.

One of the most remarkable features Of
this extraordinary institution, is the sue
cessive changes it undergoes, in the
course OF its history. A~.
When the young husband and wife
first enter upon the new relation, how
little do they foresee WHAT'S before them.
AS they take possession, for the first time
of their new home, and enjoy lis cheer
ing aspect, its regularity and quiet, and
its expression Of domestic peace and Joy
how little do they anticipate the triais
and vicissitudes, file deep! yet unseen
fountains OF JOY and sorrow, which lie in
their way! 1n. few years how changed
One after another has, ,been,sadded in var

with only two, until, at length, they find
themselves presiding over a numerous
circle OF children and relatives, and DOM
|estics; the father and mother both in
volved IN responsibilities, from which
they, would have shrunk had they antici
pated them in the beginning.Nbl ..4
In few years the happy circle must
be broken in upon and scattered. Death
comes and makes one after another his
prey; others gradually arrive to maturity,
and leave their fathers roof to seek other
homes, and to return no more to the ark
wnich sheltered them at first; and at | asst,
| the father and mother are left alone, I'd
spend their declining years at their soli-
