: A Vote ON tho Wing.

This morning at nine o'clock the
steamship Elder dropped her
anchor off the Folsom street wharf,
not being able to get to the dock in
consequence of its being occupied
by another steamer. Among her
passengers was John Whiteaker,
member Of Congress from Oregon,
whose presence is absolutely neces-
sary TO the Democratic party in the
organization OF the House at Wash
ington on the 18th instant. If Mr..
Whiteaker is not there the Repub-
lIcans may elect their Speaker.
Mr.. Goodman, General Ticket
Agent Of the Central Pacific Rail
road. was on hand this morning at
the foot Of Folsom street, and sent
word aboard for Mr.. Whiteaker,
who got into a whitehall boat and
was rowed ashore, with no baggage
but a small valise, hustled into
carriage and driven rapidly tOthe
ferry landing, where the ferry boat
had been waiting five minutes be-
yODd her regular time. The boat
arrived on the other side of the hay
and a special train was in waiting,
consisting ofsleeper No. % and en-
CINE No. 155, Frank Small, engi-
neer. The whole under command
Of conductor Ben Allen started to
catch the overland train, which
left Oakland at eight O'clock yester-
day morning, with instructions to
Overtake that train between here
and Omaha. Mr.. Goodwin thinks
the special will catch the overland
near Ogden, although it has twen-
ty-flve hours the start. The usual
train from here to Washington is
seven days. The cost of the special
train will be about Sl,500.-S r.

A San Francisco exchange gives
this advice on the subject of plant
ing good varieties of oranges:
While orange culture is one of the
important industries of this State,
and we sometimes meet with BEAU
tiful and luscious specimens of that
fruit, 1t must be admitted that the
great bulk sold in this market is
trash. The cultivation of bad fruit
Is even more reprehensible than the
raising of poor stock, for while the
difference between the cost of pure
blood and scrubs is great, the differ
ence between the price of good and
bad varieties of fruit trees is only a
trifle. The best oranges in the
world are the oranges of Bahia, In
Brazil; they are without seeds, and
known cs the Navel orange; they
are spoken of by Wilkes in his ex-
ploring expedition. These oranges
are successfully cultivated in Aus
tralia, whence tue young trees can
be brought by steamer; they can
also be brought from the Mexican
ports, and from Cape San Lucas.
The oranges of those localities be
ing excellent, there is no excuse for
cultivating poor fruit when trees OF
superior quality and near ut hand
can be got for a mere song. This
is matter of great Importance to
the people of the southern portion
of this State.

Bonds fJr the Million.

The model for the proposed ten
dollar certificate has been designed
by the Bureau of Printing and En-.
kraving, and yesterday received the
approval of Secretary Sherman. 1t
will be little larger than a legal
tender note. In the left hand cor
ner OF the diverse side appears
! very appropriately a vignette Of
BENJAMIN franklin. In the centre
the legend, "U. s. Refunding
| certificate, $10," with handsome
square and other fancy figures.
Below, In script, is the legend:
"rhis certifies that the holder has
deposited with the United States
Treasurer $40, according to Act of
Congress, February 26 1879,
for refunding the debt" On
the reverse side the bor-
der is made up of scroll and geomet-
rlcal lathe work. The legend is
displayed: "One cent for nine
days, ten cents for three months
and forty cents one year" Also in
script that these certificates, when
presented to the number Of five or
multiples thereof, will be exchang-
cd for four per cent. bonds. The
Bureau will be able to deliver these
certificates In the course of couple
Of weeks. The bill authorizing
their issue originated in the House
and received two amendments in
the Senate. One changed the rate
Of interest from 3.85 to four per
cent, and the other extended the

Utah Mineral Wax.

The great deposit of mineral wax
or native parafiine lately discov-
cred in Southern Utah, says the
Scientific american, is described by
Prof. J. E. Clayton, OF Salt Lake
City, as occupying an area sixty
miles long by twenty feet
thick. 1t contains more or
less clay in seams and layers.
but this is readily eliminated
by melting. 1t is quite black in
the mass, but the sections are
translucent. The quantity is said
10 be enormous, so great, indeed.
that It can not be controlled by any
individual or company, but must
prove q source of wealth to
whole communities. Professor
Henry Wurtz pronounces the
mineral to be Zietriski'
site, and says that it differs from
parafi1ne by being insoluble in
ether, and otherwise. Prof. ]. j.
Newberry finds the specimens
brought by him from Utah to be
true ozokerite, and similar in
all respects, except in color,
to that from Galicia-a true
parafnne, melting at 60 degrees
c., and being soluble in ether. AS
to the origin and geological rela.
tIons Of this remarkable bed OF
parAffine-which, so far as known,
is without parallel in quantity in
the world, and is as much
Of a "wonder" as our bas-
ms OF petroleum : Professor
Newberry can not speak with any
confidence until he has visited the
locality where it occurs, as he
hores to do in a few weeks. He
suspects, however, that it will be
found to be an evolved production,
the distillation of beds of cretace.

troleum unusually rich in paraf-
