An Evening At the West.

The members of the West Presbyteri-
an church gave social tea drinking last
evening in the lecture room of their
church, which was largely attended and
enjoyed by all. Not the least interest
ing event Of the evening by any means
was the exhibition of an ingenious quilt
with the names Of several hundred men,
bers upon it. This was the result Of a
novel plan proposed by some of the MEM
bers to raise money to aid in paying of
the church debt. All who gave 10 cents
could have their name embroidered on
the quilt. Quite considerable sum was
raised by this means. The quilt will be
sent to foreign missionary.
The Levy Court.
The Levy Court, whose consultation
in this city, yesterday, in regard to the
new Courthouse, was mentioned in the
late edition of the GAZETTE, yesterday,
met again at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
and talked over the best course to pur-
sue. During the afternoon they visited
the Opera House and made thorough
examination of the building and ex-
pressed themselves well pleased with its
admirable construction. In regard to the
plan of the proposed building, they re-
ouested Mr.. Edward L. Rice, Jr,, to pro-
ceed with the plot which he has in con-
struction.

High Art In Handkerchief,

Some ladies at the Great Mountain have
been etching on linen. 1t is a beautiful art
and makes picturesque our napkins. Indeed
wiped my lips on the anterior of st. Pauls'
Yesterday, which one of our artists says is
basely inartistic. But we do not care what he
says so that our etchings come out well. We
iron our linen and draw our etchngs while 1t
is still warm with a very delicate pen, then
leave them for SIX hours in the sun, then return
Itremhlingly. But they are generally very
good and for pretty draperIes for the wash
stand and for tides, and indeed for delicate
handkercnefs and for all the great monogram
business it is a convenient art. Perhaps some
of our readers may like to know the result OF
our experience. Have all linen washed before
attempting to draw on 1t, to extract the dress
ing. Then apply light preparation of gum
TO the place to be etched. This thoroughly
dry and smoothly Ironcd, proceed to draw with

THE GRAND OLD ORGANIZATION.

John W. Forney, who for eighteen years
has fought the democratic party without fal.
tcring, yet finds himself constrained IN his
Progress, to pay the following tribute to The
Grand Old Organization"
We are OF those who will never forget the
democratic party-that pure and noble old or.
ganlzatiOn which was manly instrumental in
charging the area Of the country and adding
to the states of the union, which acquired
Florida, Louisiana, Texas and California, and
which. in two wars with foreign foe, carried
our flag to victory ana established our mar.
lial ability among the nations of the world
What the Anglo-SaNon has been and is to
civilization the old democratic party has been
and is To the politics of the American people
Disguise ii As some men may, it Is to demo
Gratis that all parties owe more or less then
leadership and champions, and there has new
er been II successful party IN this country that
did not contain in It's ranks or its lead men OF
former democratic characteristics who re-
ceived their first training for political service
in the rank, of the democratic party; and
while the party maintained lis purity no party
opposing II ever secured state or national pow
er which lasted more than one term. The ma
tive American party tried its opposition and
failed. The whlg party made IA similar effort
and met with a like disaster, and only when
the democracy became corrupted by the AFRO
CANT grasping Of the slave power which final
ly made ii Il refuge for traitors was it defeated
by the republican party, which would never
have succeeded had it not been for the homes
democrats assisting it. The backbone AND I
large portion of the brains of the republican
organization came out OF the dismemhcrct
democratic party Without the dislntegraior
of the democratic party the republican orga
nization Of 1860 could not have elected Abra
ham Lincoln president.

Facts about Forests.

An important paper IN Polybbion on this
subject gives the results of observations made
during the last six years under trees and not
far from the edge Of a forest and also in the
plain and far from all trees First forests in
crease the quantity of meteoric waters which
fall on tie ground, and thus favor the growth
of springs and of underground waters Sec.
ond, IN forest region the ground receives AS
much and more water under cover of the trees
than the uncovered ground of regions with
little or no wood. Third, the cover of the trees
of forest dimnishes to large degree the
evaporation of the water received by the
ground, and thus contributes to the mainte-
nance of the moisture of the latter, and to the
regularity of the flow of the water sources.
Fourth, the temperature in IA forest is much
less unequal than In the open, although, on the
whole it may he n little lower; but The mini
ma are there constantly higher and the maxi
ma lower than in regions not covered with
wood These observations have been made IN
the neighborhood of Nancy and by the pupils
of the School of Forestry of that city, under
tie direction of NJ. Matthew, sub-director Of
the school. On the other hand, NJ. Fautrat,
when SubInspector of Forests at Senlis, made
during four years, but on Il different method,
observations of Terrestrial meteorology which
| fully and completely corrOborate in certain
respects those of NJ. Matthew. The laws
which seem to follow from the figures given
| by NJ. Fautrat, as well as an inspection of the
curves which graphically represent them, are as
| follows: FIRST, it rains more abundantly, I'M
der identical circumstances over forests than
over non-wooded ground, and most abundant
| ly over forests with trees in a green condition
Second, the degree of saturation of the air by
moisture Is greater over forests than over non
wooded grounds, and much better over masses
of pinus svveStri than over masses of leaved
species. Third, the LEAKAGE and branches Of
eafcd trees intercept the one third, and those
of the rcsinous Onc-half of the ram water,
which afterwards returns to the atmosphere by
evaporation. On the other hand, these same
leaves and branches restrain the evaporation
Of the water which reaches the ground, and
that evaporation is nearly four times less un-
der mass of eafed forest than in the open,
and two and one-third times only under a mass
Of pines. Fourth, the laws Of the change
of temperature out of and under wood
are similar to those which result from
the observations of M. Matthew. The general
conclusions seem to be that forests regulate
the function of water, and exercise on the TEN
perature, as on the atmosphere, an effect of
ponderation " and of equilibrium.-LOnd0

Our RECIPE FOR CURING MEAT.-To one
gallon of water take one and half pounds of
salt, one-half pound Of sugar, one-half ounce
of saltpeter, One-haf ounce of potash In
this ratio the pickle can be increased 70 any
quantity desired Let these be boiled togetli-
er until all the dirt from the sugar rises to the
top and is skinned off. Then throw it into IA
tub to cool, and when cold pour it over your
beef or pork. The meat must be well covered
with pickle and should not be put down for
at least two days after killing during which
time 1t should be slightly sprinkled with pow
uered saltpeter, which removes all the surface
blood, etc, leaving the meat fresh and clean
Some omit boiling the pickle and find it to
answer well, though the operation of boiling

SETRO ENJOINED - THE MINES
SCORE ONE

Yesterday there was issued by Judge
Rising's Court in Virginia City an order en-
joining Sutro from prosecuting his intended
work in the tunnel whereby the water from
the Comstock mines was to be damned out of
that conduit. 1t seems that Sutro had SET
his men at work sinking winze from the
tunnel level toward the 100 foot level of
the Savage. OF course this would have
caused the water to flow i'll as fast as it was
pumped out Of the injunction and its

IMPROVED VENTILATION AND
DIFFERENT WARNING APPARATUS
NEEDED.


We do not generally indulge in long wind
ed head dimes, like the above; but when one
of the sort, by its very comprehensiyeness,
covers the ground as well as this does, We
employ it something useful. The Senate
and Assembly Chambers are regular head
ache boxes. That painful fact They are
heated by hot-air furnaces That's what's
the matter. Now SoIons, for your own com
fort and that of your attaches, officers, visit
ors and reporters, take quick and effective
swoop at the evil and cure it without delay or
hesitation You are being cremated before
your time. You are fast becoming parcel
of baked and withcred mummes. Self-pres-
ervation is the first law OF nature There is
self-preservation in resolution making your
furnaces obsolete and replacing them with
stoves. We speak the voice of humanity.
Also abolish your pipes and cigars from your
Chambers. You all complain of the head ache.
1t is the atmosphere of your rooms that thus
acts upon your nerves, which disturb your
brains, which upset your digestion. No man
with a dyspepsia is fit to make laws, keep
laws, write laws report the acts and motions
man-killing furnaces grow cold and heat your
halls with stoves and briskly burning, blazing
