BLoATED 9oNDHOLDERs." D." - Some
years ago distinguished Republican or
ator of this State declared in a public
speech at San Francisco that the great
bulk Of our Government securities held in
the United States We're in the hands of
the working classes, and showed by what
he claimed to DO reliable statistics that n
lai ge proportion ofthe servant girls of the
country were creditors of the nation. The
speaker concluded his reference to this
subject by saying, "Get out. you bloated
bondhoders !" There was perhaps not a
little truth in the figures given al that
time, for they are corroborated by Zach
Chandler, who almost echoed the Cali
fornian's utterances of some twelve
years since in a speech delivered in Bos
ton a week or 50 ago. "Who," he asked
sis the bloated bondholder ? Why, II
you were to go into the Treasury of The
United States to morrow, you would find
that where there are ninety.nine men who
are directly or indirectly interested in the
bonds Of the United States Government,
holding one hundred dollars or less, there
is but one man who owns ten thousand
dollars or more. The bonds of the Unit
ed States are really the aggregate Of the
savings of the laboring millions" II
this be really true-that the greater
amount of the Governments securities
is distributed generally among the people
Of small means--so much the better for
the Countrywide.

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR.-The year 1879
will pass into American history az year
Of wonderful agricultural prosperity. The
cotton crop is larger ty half a million
bales than ever before, the tobacco crop
is 10000, 600 pou nds greater; and the su-
gar crop exceeds by some 100000 hogs
heads all previous yields. These are
crops which belong almost exclusively to
the southern half Of the republic. In be-
half Of the Northern States the ex-
cess of products this year over the crops
of any previous year, is according to the
Chicago J0urnot Of Commerce, 90, 900.
600 bu sheis of wheat and from 80 600, 900
to 100, 900 900 bushels of corn. The hog
crop also is larger this year than for II
number OF years past-if it be not the
largest ever aised.

A WONDERFUL WOkK.-Ar Ameri-
can engineer, who being engaged in the
construction Of n railway in China, has
had unusually favorable opportunities of
examining the famous great wall built to
obstruet the incursions of the Tartars,
gives the following account of the won
derful work The wall is | .728 miles long

The foundation throughout is of solid
granite, and the remainder Of compact

hundred yards towers rise up twenty five

feet in diameter. On the top Of the wall
and on both sides Of it are masonry para
pets to enable the defenders to pass un-
seen from one tower TO another, The
wall itself is carried from point to point
in perfect straight line, across valleys
and plains and hills, without The slight

rivers are bridged over by the wall, while
on both banks Of the large streams, strong

THE future management of the State
Prison appears to be troubling some OF
tte press of this State. 1t has been in
t;mated to us that it is the desire Of Gov
ernor elect Perkins to appoint men of
brains, and consequently OF broad and
liberal views, as Directors of tho State
Prison, and if such raen cannot be found
in the Republican party they will be
sought elsewhere No narrow-n inded
tricksters, with poitical jobs TO put up
for the benefit of themselves or others,
will be selected We have heard that
Chief Justice Rhodes may be one of the
Commissioners, and that the retiring Gov
ernor may be another, From this city
the names of A. p. Catin and Greed
Raymond have been discussed as prob
able Comm issioners. - Sacramento Bee.

EIGHTEEN hundred and forty nine,
1859 and 1869 were all hard winters on
the Pacidc coast. We don't know wheth-
er 1879 is TO be equally severe bat !;
seems quite likely that it will be. We
have at least had an early beginning.
Henry Kendall, tae well-known Eureka
butcher, originally from Viles' Tavern,
Massachusetts. says the coming winter is
going to be a singer. He is an old East
ern NevAdan, and claims to be better
weather prophet than any almanac MAXI
er in the United States. Henry figures
from tho position Of the pogonip. He
says when that vapory substance hangs
low on the mountains that is a sure thing
that there will be any amount of snow.
Recently the pogonip in this section has
settled almost TO the very base OF the
neighboring mountains. From this cir
cumstance, coupled with the further fact
that the pigs about the slaughter-house
sleep with their snoots to the northward
Henry is sanguine that we are going Ia
have regular sun-dog winter - Lureko

BLoND1S's daring exploits on the rope
in Vienna sre just now the talk and won-
der OF the town. He calls himself the
Hero Of Niagara" and Performs at the
building which was used in 1873 for the
Exhibition. The latest thing reported of
him is walking along the rope on stills,
blindfolded and backwards, a. hight of
$50 feet. No net is stretched below him,
and when half way across he feigns to
lose his nerve, and, putting his hand to
his forehead, wavers, leans, and then slips
and RECEIVERS himself. "a gasp of anx-
iety," says q report, "is heard through
the hushed assembly women scream and
are carried out in fts." The Emperor
and Empress have both been to see the
extraordinary performance-but neither
of them screamed.

THE SILVER CERTIFICATEs.- The sill,
yer certificate bids fair to lake the place of
the standard dollar to very great extent
In paying out ten p0r cent. on cheeSs in
silver dollars the Treasury is generally
faced with the demand for certificates in
their stead. This is especially the case
wish the banks. The banks then pay
them out over their counters the same as
greenbaeks. In this way large amount
Of silver certificates have got into cireu-
lation in this city. The silver certificate
is the same size as the greenback, and
just as convenient. 1t passes readily in
all quarters where it is known. The ex-
perenee with tho silver dollar will
dou btess be the same elsewhere as it is
in this eity-tbe substitution for it to n
great extent of the Certificate. In this
way new form of currency will rapidly
come into general circulation.-W Wash

Il NEW LITERARY PROJECT 1t has
been often regretted by those who have
witnessed the rapid growth of California,
that SO little effort has been made to por.

has never been a lack of literary talent

Interesting bat evanesce4t phases of one
OF the strangest processes of social evolu-
ton the world has ever seen, and as q
consequence the purely local fictiona and
historical literature of the State is ex.
tremely poor. We are of opinion that
this condition Of things calls for REFORM
and as what is every bodE's business al
ways turns out TO be nobody's business
in the end. we have determined to apply
practical stimulus to the ambition of
the writers If tho Pacific coast, at the
same time directing their labors into
channels which promise rich returns
With this end in view, the Record Union
declares its purpose TO offer three premi-
ums, of 5000 each, for three stories, on
the following general lines The first is
20 be founded on the early history of Cal
ifornia, during the period of the Spanish
occupancy. The second is TO have its
scene IN the early days Of American
period. And the third is to deal with
the latter era OF State development, when
gambling in mining stocks had grown to
such enormous proportions, ard when
the State seemed TO be springing up as
rapidly and feverishly as Jonah's gourd
H. addition TO these three stories, we shall
offer pramiGm ofS50 for the best Christ
mas story, the scene of which must also
be laid in California, or on the Pacific
coast. The stories written to compete
for the three larger premiums must con
tain not less than $4,000 words each, and
must be submilted on or before the 18th
at December ensuing. The stories which
take premiums will be published forth
with IN the Weekly Union. the readers
of wnish will thus reap the benefit of the
enterprise TO the fullest extent. 0fceurse
we shall reserve to ourselves the right of
rejecting any or all manuscripts submit.

ard we have fixed, but all rejected man.
iecripts vii. be returned To the writers
with MS little delay as possible. The
pramiuns stories viii be published in Sc
rial form. but the Christmas story must
be capable of publication in one issue of
the ResO1d- Onion, and therefore must
not exceed seven columns in length

SIGNoR BRUMIDA, the aged artist who
has so long been engaged in decorating
the Capitol at Washington, was nearly
killed while working on the upper part of
the rotunda two weeks ago, He sat on a
chair perched on n scaffold ffty-fye feet
from the floor. In leaning over TO give a
finishing touch TO figure almost out Of
his reach, he caused the chair to slip and
fall off, and he only escaped by a sudden
clutch at the edge of the scafold. He
has been at work upon the Capitol for
twerty-threc years, and has lately been so
feeble that it has been found necessary to
lift him TO his fresco work by derrick.

THE Supervisors of San Francisco
have passed an order to pay one Smith
S66, ,2S5 for damages done his lumber and
wharf property in the anti Chinese riots
of July, 1877. The City Attorney said
that it would not pay to appeal from the
ruling of the Court below to the Supreme
Court as the latter tribunal would most
undoubtedly affirm the decision, hence
it were better to pay without more ado.
Il is thought that the judgments that
may be obtained against the city for IN
jury then done to private property may
cover a quarter of q million dollars.

MANY persons are puzzled to under>
stand what the term "fourpenny," "six-
renny" and "tenpenny" means applied
to nails. "Fourpenny" means four
pounds to the thousand nails, or "six
penny" means six pounds to the thousand
and so on. II is an old English term,
and meant at first "ten pound" lis (the
thousand being UNDERSTOOD, but the old
English clipped, il 10 "ten-pLn," and it
degenerated until penny" WAS substitute
ed for 'pounds." When thousand
nails weigh less than one pound they are
called tacks, 5rads, etc, and are reckon
ed bY ounces.

COULDN'T GET BONDS 1t seems that
w. Il. Shaber, the San Francisco Treas
urer elect on the Workingmen' Ticket,
has failed TO procure the necessary bonds
within the ten days allowed by law. OF
the $500, 600 required, Mr.. Shaber had
orly procured $50, 900 up TO within a day
or so of the allotted time and of this
amount it is stated that $40, 600 was given
him by Desmond, the Sheriff elect, who
had surplus of volunteer bondsmen.
In noting the item we were somewhat
surprised at the small bond required in
proportion to the amount demanded OF
the Treasurer of this county. Tr Trinity
where the Treasurer never has more than
S17, 600 on hand and that only for few
days, he must give $50, 600 bond, but
in San Francisco where the public fund.
are probably one hundred fold greater the
bond is but FIVE times as large.
