THE MOTHER OF NECEssITY.-Auothe consignment
of the drug which at present constitutes the leading
article for discussion at the morning sessions of the
Police Court, was captured while being brought
ashore from the Steamer City Of Sydney on the 18th
inst, and happily for the ends of justice the owner
was also secured. The means employed in this par
ticular instance to secure tae safe conduct of the pro-
hibited opium were very ingenious, the legs of a sew
ing machine being brought into requisition. said legs
having been made especially for the occasion, as in
stead Of being of iron and solid. they were made of
tin or zinc and hollow, and painted black 50 as to
represent the more solid material. The result OBJ
tanned by the protector of this move, who of course is
q celestial, is a six months residence at the Hotel De
F. and the machine and opium revert to the Govern
ment. Hardly a fair exchange. but yet no robbery.

a tour of observation, or it may be with a view to

yellow FEvER.-On the last day Of July. the
ship Tempidr arrived at San Francisco from New
York via Rio de Janeiro, with the Captain and sew
eral of the crew sick with the dreaded yellew fever,
the Captains wife and several of the crew having
died of the disease since leaving Rio. The vessel
was put into strict quarantine in San Francisco,
but the physician of the Board of Health of that
city is reported to have said that he considered there
was no danger to be apprehended from yellow fever
in that city. cit might, however, (says the CaH),
if precautions were not taken, find it's way into the
country. especially the Sacramento Valley. To
guard against any possible danger of this kind, the
Doctor quarantined the ship, and will keep her on
the quarantine ground for two or three days. This
morning he will go on board and destroy all of the
bedding and carpets, boil all the clothing, and give
the forecastle, cabin and between decks a thorough
fumigation. As there has not been a case of the
fever on board for three months, this treatment will
destroy any germs of the disease which may yet
linger about the ship. There are a number of vessels
on the way from Rio Janeiro to this port, and Doctor
McAllister has directed the pilots to have them stop
ped at quarantine" In view of the frequent com
muuicatiou between Honolulu and San Francisco, it
will be advisable for our Hawaiian Board of Health,
under the circumstances, to be extra v~igilant. We
can manage the measles, but don't care to meet the
yellow fever.

WAGON AGENTS.


EDIToRs JoURSAL.--Perhaps the farmers OF
our community think they are DONG an eco
nomical and good thing when they patronize
buggy and wagon pedlars, paying therefor
five or ten dollars less than they would pay
for a No. l shop made wagon. How long
will manufacturers continue in business when
they have to sell their work below costt
Your mechanics have commenced with the
opening of the country; paid taxes, built
bridges, school houses and churches. There
fore will you ask them to be content with the
bone after the pedlars have gorged them
selves on it! You say "the job work is left +"
Yes, in River Falls there is about enough job
work for one shop during the summer sea-
son. but what of the winterH You cannot
work up your stock for the next seasons
iobbing. The two last winters are exceptions
in the past % years. There is not shop to-
day but what has stopped buying stock and
is preparing to close manufacturing Close
up our four shops and where is your econo-
my? Shops can no more live beside factory
work than they can under the caves of fac
tory, or than a shoemaker can live by MAX
ing shoe pegs. When the factory work shall
finally succeed in driving our shops out OF
existence the pedlar will wipe his mouth
and say, 81 have done no wrong"

| and in front of him a wide staircase
leading to the upper story. On his right
| is the reception parlor which also
opens directly into the dining room.
| On the second floor are two large par
lors, each convenient to the landing of
the staircase, two long halls come to-
gether at the landing of the main stair
