Paint applied to the exterior Of

dure twice as long as when applied in
early summer Or hot weather. Tn the
former il. dries slowly, and becomes
hard, like glazed surface, not easily
affected afterwari by the hot weather,
or worn OF by the beating storms,
Batnin very hot weather, the oil
soaks in the wood at once, leaving the
lead nearly dry and ready to, crunbIe
off This last difficulty, however,
might in measure be guarded against,
though ut an increased expense, by
first going over the surface with raw
oil. FURTHERMORE, by painting IN cold
weather the annoyance Of small flies,
which invariably collect during the
warm season on fresh paint, Is avoided,
As an Offset to this there Is trouble
with slow drying paint -it i that the
dust, which always win collect upon
exposed surfaces, win keep collecting
as long MS the paint is not dry, and
stick to it, so that to obtain a smooth
surface, free from adhering dust, it Il
necessary to secure quick drying. This
is especially the case when vanishing.
We have often been disappointed. and
no doubt so have many others, that the

Some months since the following in
ciIent Of the late war was related in
the Nesas; Mr.. James X. Moore, of
MoTgantown, North Carolina, on one
occasion went out in front Of our lines
to give some water to a wounded
Yankee who was lying III a helpless
condition upon the ground but lately
occupied by tho Federal forces and
from which. they bad recently been
driven. The man was. crying piteously
for water, and the bullets were rattling
around from both armies. Moore said
he intended 70 risk The ex, iosure to do
a deed Of mercy and went out 70 him.
He proved to be q captain. of a Phila
delPhia regiment, who was profuse with
thanks, and offered Moore bis gold
watch, which the gallant Confedcrate
declined. Hen begged for his name
that he might, if he survived the war,
remember him. This he wrote, down
IN his memorandum book. The cap
tain recently wrote here to sec il
Moore was living said he was rich,
but dying Of consumption, and wanted
10 provide for Moore in. his will Mr.
Moore wrote TO him aud received a
friendly reply, telling, him there were

NEVER GRT Angry.

|a ID HN IL
It does no good, Some sins have a
seeming compensation o.. apology
present qualification Of some sort-but
anger has none. It Is really 81 tor
mcnt, and when the storm Of passion
has cleared away it leaves one to zee
that he has been fool, and has made
himself a fool in the eyes of others
too. An angry man adds nothing to
The welfare Of society. He may do
some good but moro hurt. Heated
passions make him a fre-brand, and il
is wonder that it does not kindle
flames Of discord on every hand. With
out much sensibility, and often bereft
of reason, he speaketh like the piercing
of sword, and his tongue is an arrow
shot out. He is a bad element in any
community, and his removal would far
nish occasion for a,day of thanksgiving.
Since, then, anger is useless, needless,
disgraceful, without the least apology,
and found only in tho bosom Of fools,
why should it be INDUCED in at allg

SAN Francisco, June 20.
There is considerable expression Of opin-
ion among business men in favor of maxi
ing Thursday Friday and Saturday of next
week a sort of general holiday, closing the
banks and other principal places of busi-
ness. The adjournment over next week of
the stock boards will practically close up
mining and brokers' offices, and it is
agreed that after closing the banks, etc.,
for the 4th of July, that in view of the
regular half holiday on Saturday, it will
hardly be worth while to open or Friday.
Henry Brickwedel, Supervisor for the
Twelfth Ward, has rendered his resigna-
ton to the Mayor. Mr.. Brickwedel, who
is a sturdy, honest old German, of pro-
nounced convictions, gives as his reasons
for ~resigning, that he is Disguised with
public life, and the way things go in the
Board of Supervisors.
Warrants were to-day issued for the ar
rest of Hiram r. Cook, a deputy in the
ex-Collector's Office, and John z. Bell, the
attorney entrusted with the collection of
delinquent taxes. Both are charged with
petty larceny, and Cook, in addition, is
charged with felony. The two nave been
in collision, Bell collecting from taxpay-
ers amounts somewhat in excess of what
was due from them, while Cook made en-
tries in the books to cover up the swindle,
and the parties divided the stealings. The
individual amounts of their operations are
small, but will probably aggregate a con-
siderable sum.
The San Francisco and Pacific stock
boards adjourned to-day until Monday,
July 8th.
This evening an unknown man walked
out to the end of Meiggs' wharf and then
placing a pistol to his head, fired, the ball
passing through his brain. The suicide
fell from the wharf into the bay. The
body was recovered in a few minutes by a
boatman, but life was extinct.
Owing to the vacation Of the stock ex-
changes next week. it is contemplated to
start a long room in the basement of the
Big Board building, at which outsiders can
deal for themselves, on q cash basis. A
great number Of brokers of both boards
will leave town during next week, going to
Virginia, Eureka, Portland and Santa
Cruz.
