Another California Story.
| correspondent IF the Visalia Mal. }

"A correspondent Of thesVisalia RCal.)
Delta furnishes this queer paragraph:
{" A boiling spring has been discovered,
between the: Polvadero and Los Gatos
creeks. An ingenious individual has
applied for the water right, and has con-
structed clothes-wringer, to be run by
a wateriwheel at one side of the spring;
where it boils over into another of clear
cold water, in which the proprietor has
placed a sack Of indigo. The ranchers
of the settlement resort to The spring' to
do their washing. The clothes are
thrown into the water, which has s.
whirling motion; and, are drawn in out
of sight. In about five minutes they
come to the surface, float to the wringer,
and fa1e run through ing the other
spring, where they are rinsed by passing
through another wringer. In, less than
80 minutes the washing is done, and the
ranfhersis on His way hone .f6ejchg.
His happy wife meets him at tie door,
hangs the clothes out to dry, which
takes but q short time, and the washing
is done.' 4

The Hawaiian Death Wall.

The hour when the soul of the patient
takes its flight to the Eternal, when the
:ominous word :";make" (dead) is sound
ed like a. knell spon the ears Of the sur
vivors-then suddenly all voices are
united in singing, or rather chanting the
auwe in deep, melodious and pathetic
tones that sound like the wailing of the
sea in the night time. The contagion,
like magnetic current, spreads through
the village. Instantly all hearts are
moved, and the auwe is chanted from
one house to another, until an ocean Of
sympathy seems to: float upon the air.
There is something 80: touching and pitt

THR MILL.

And leave behind these saidensd things;

Hints for Keeping of Wrinkles.

e. Hints for Keeping Off Wrinkles.
There is no such thing as wiping out
wrinkles. Il In men they areoften honor
able evidence of hard mental labor;. in
women they are usually the evidence of
coming age, although care and suffering
have much to do with them. Sometimes
fair foreheads are prematurely wrinkled
from a nervous habit of raising the eye
brows, and from q too great and too
constant pressure of the pillow on one or
both sides Of the head while sleeping.
And just here comes q fact worth re-
Numbering. IF the forehead has escaped
wrinkles, crows feet are premattirel y,
seen about the corners Of the eyes, We
.aAssee the crows feet in men and. women:
whose brows are smooth and young lookl

girl children were compelled to sleep on

Quickened Conscience in q Dog.

A correspondent of the London Spec
totor tells the following dog story: "a
young fox terrier, about eight months
old, took a great fancy to small brush,
of Indian workmanship, slying on the
drawing-room table. It had been pun
ished more than once for jumping on
the table and taking it. On one occa-

back the little brush in its mouth from
where it had hidden it. was much
struck with what appeared to me a.
remarkable instance of dog possessing
a conscience, and few months after
ward, finding it again alone in the room,
l asked the same question, while patting
it! At once j saw it had been up to
some mischief, for with the same look of
shame it walked slowly to one of the
windows, where it lay down, with its
nose pointing to letter bitten and torn
into shreds. On third occasion, it
showed me where it, had strewn a num-
Der of little tickets about the floor, for
doing which it had been reproved pre-
viously. I cannot account for these
facts, except by supposing the dog must

81 YouNasrowN, Ohio, Jan rs, 1879.
!. BROTHER IR1sHMEN: We earnestly
entreat YOU to read the following plain
and unvarnished narrative Of our treat
ment at the hands Of the Democratic
party.! il A..:3l : ,lt@a-1 Is 81 i.7.9..:
: One of the most true and tried Of the
Irish citizens of youngstown, q man
who had ever been stalwart in the sup
port Of the Democratic party, was can
didate for the insignificant place, of
guard in the penitentiary, position for
which he was eminently qualified. He
was recommended and Endorsed by a host
of his fellow citizens, and the appoint
,mept was under the sole and absolute
control of the Democratic party; yet he
was ruthlessly, aye, insultingly thrust
aside to make room for man who had
never identified himself with the party,
who was almost stranger among us, and,
above all, who was not an Irishman.
A few years since the Democratic
party in this city nominated an Irish
man, entirely fit and worthy, for city
marshal, and this il the way the party
supported him: In the First ward he
was 81 votes behind his ticket, in the
Second ward vote behind his ticket, in
Third ward % votes behind his ticket,
in the Fourth ward 50 votes behind his
ticket, and in the Fifth ward 80 votes
behind his ticket. It is superfous to
add that the Irish candidate was de-
feated. ,> 80.
There was in this city a military COM
pany composed entirely Of Irishmen,
and known as Company A Of the Tenth
regiment, q. N. G.. Its record was Sec
ond to none in the state.
At the rife contest of the regiment
for a silver medal, this Irish Company
carried off tue prize. Well, such was
the company whose term of enlistment
would expire in a short time, and for
whose disbandment no good reason
could be assigned. But, mark what was
done. According to the militia law of
Ohio, companies are apportioned through
out the state according to population,
and when any particular. section Of the
state has its quota of companies; no
more can be organized. The aristocrats
of neighboring city wished to form a
company, but the quota Of companies
allowed within the section of the
state to which the two cities belonged
was full, and hence these aristocrats
could not form company unless some
one of the existing companies was dis
banded, and so the Democratic governor
Of Ohio disbanded the Irish company of
Youngstown, the only Irish company in:
this whole section, to make room for
the aristocratic company.
To 20 outside our city: The Demo.
cratic party of the city of New York,
without the Irish vote, would be in
