When the bill for the repeal of the bankrupt
law was introduced, the fear of its passage, or
perhaps, the belief that it would pass, forced
them to face the situation and to take advan-
tage of its provisions, which, in many respects,
were more favorable to the debtor class than
the local laws on the same subject.

Authority was given for the transfer of this

pluck from the administration single one Of

to remind our people of the unfairness of al
lowing the burdens of government to be
borne almost exclusively by this band of self
abnegators. However anxious they may be
to be relieved, such is their devotion to duty
that they will never, of their own accord, shift
the burden of responsibility. For two long
years these burden.bearers have toiled on aud

mitting promptitude have confronted the
treasurer on payday, until the whole thing
must have grown monotonous. A grateful

The Republican leaders of this town held

tion was taken, or what course determined
upon, has not reached the public ear. There

Unity and harmony among the Democracy,

result. Dissensions and divisions in their

Probably no event in modern times
SO well illustrates the superiority oil ag-
riculture over all other industries as the
settlement and development OF the
State of California. The discovery oil
gold in that section, some thirty years
ago sent wave OF speculation and
mania for mining across the continent.
It'll doubtful whether any settlement on
a large scale would have been made
mn TO this date on the Pacific slope, had
It not been for the attraction OF the gold
mines and the infatuaiion in mankind
which impels any sacrifice in seeking
the precious metals. If il had been
published in lei9 that California was a
splendid agricultural section, instead OF
a country rich in gold and silver, would
the tide OF emigration have turned in
that direction? The claims of Agricnl-
ture are everywhere slow OF recognition;
no cannons Of welcome announce lis
coming, no giIded banners proclaim its
victories, 40 crowds OF spectators
trumpet it's praises: but quietly, unos-
tentatiously, securely it gathers its gold
EN- haryests and secures its rich rewards.
until il outranks the value OF the prec-
;ous metals obtain in the same districts
Facts are unanswerable arguments.
Statistics show that for the present
year the value OF the gold and silver
produced in California is S2l,0OO,ovo,
while the agricultural produce OF the
same great State exceeds S9l 10000
As compared with mining, agriculture
stands nearly five TO one in values pro-
duced. The wheat crop OF California Tor
single year is valued at $50 $50 500,
barley al SO, 900 900 other cereals 81,

he Gaze e.xe,ese.e Lamps.

Few illuminating substances produce
a light as steady and brilliant as kero-
sene oil, but owing TO inattention to
certain,requisite Joints its full brilliancy
is rarely attained. The wick, oil and
all the sppurtenances OF the lamp must
be kept scrupulously clean, the burner
polished, the chimney not only clean
but bright and clear, the wick cut
square across with sharp scissors.
Those lamps which are made with i'm
movable cupolas require especial care in
cleaning and trimming. The upper
part of q lamp frequently gets oily al
ter standing for time. THIS may, in
measure, be prevented by cutting a
hole in piece of felt SO as to fit exactly
sroand the socket into which the burn.
er is screwed, Trim the felt so that il
will be about one-halt inch in width and
place the ring on the socket. House.
