Work a. the Navy Yard.

VALLEJO, September 11th.-Orders were
received at the Navy Yard yesterday from
the Navy Department that the sum of $780,
000 was Immediately available to be expend-
ed in cutting away the coal wharf on a line
with the sea-wall. This is one of the results
of the Secretary of the Nays visit. By
cutting away the wharf continuous channel
will be had from one end Of the island to the
other. Orders were also received to have the
Ben;cia hauled in from Rotten Row. and
taken up on the ways and given thorough
repairing. The Benicia was condemned a
few years ago as being in an unfit condition
for repairing after the sum of S75, 600 had
been expended upon her. She will require
extensive repairs.
Burial Ceremony Return of the Fretla.
VALLEJO, September 18th The burial
ceremony pertaining to the Masonic frater-
nifty was performed over the body of Alex
ander H. Hichborn, who was drowned yes
terday, this afternoon. His body was
embalmed, and will be forwarded to Phila-
delphia in few days
The Freda arrived at the Navy Yard at
hall. past 10.o'clock last night, and anchored
abreast of the Pensacola. Lieutenant Yates,
the commander, left for San Francisco this
afternoon to report his arrival to Admiral
Rodgers The other officers are on shore, and
it is impossible to procure her log tonight.
The Freda came up from Mazatlap in twenty
three days, and had pleasant trip. She did
not land at the place where the Lancashire
Witch placed the signal, as the sea was run
ming and dashing upon the rocks violently,
and the boat taken down by the Freda was
too small to make the attempt The opinion
of the officers is that the wrecked crew were
all drowned, unless picked up by some pass
ing vessel.

John Wallace informs as that it was not he,
a. minated in our last issue, who advised the
onlored people 10 arm themselves with fence
rails and capture the cannon from the Governors
Guards" but that it was Isaac Jenkins, in his
speech al Sunny Hill We are glad to make this
correction, As John is man of more common
sense and better judgment, and, as his educa-
iionA advantages are far superior 70 those Of
most Of has race, much better ID expected Of him
by the whites than TO mislead his uneducated
brethren IN this way. But from jenkins, man
q far less judgment; who has no education what
ever; who could not tell the difference between
common and statute law, not 90 much can be
expected, though common sense alone ought tc

Id1eness.

Many young people think that an
idle life must be pleasant one but
there are none who enjoy SO little,
and are such burdens TO themselves,
rs those who have nothing to do.
Those who are Obliged to work
hard all day enjoy their short per-
iods of rest and recreation so much
that they are apt to think If their
whole lives were spent in rest and
recreation, it wouldbe the most
pleasant of all. But this is a sad
mistake. as they would soon find
out il they made a trial of lie
they think so agreeable. One Wbc
is never busy can never enjoy rest :
for it implies a relief from previous
labor; and if our whole time were
spent in amusing ourselves, we
should find 1t more wearisome than
the hardest days work. Recreation
is only valuable as it unbends US;
the idle can know nothing of it.
Many people leave off business and
settle down to life of enjoyment;
but they generally find that they are
not nearly so happy as they were
before and they are often glad TO
return TO their old occupation 10 es-
cape the miseries of Incidence.

Home Decorations.


Whatever the thought be in dec.
orations Of room, let there be a
prevailing idea to which all others
are to be subordinate, leading up to
and harmonizing with it. Thus In
color, II the leading color be Grim
son. the others need to be such as
harmonize and contrast well. Blue
or green and perhaps q dash Of yell
low or black, will serve to heighten
ito force and yet subdue it. Or If it
be q favorite picture, or a piece of
China which takes the place of hon.
or-the best light-it needs support
and contrast to disclose its merits
Amid the bewildering choice of
thugs OF beauty, the novice may
f1nd it diffcUlt to select what may
sF.ve her ln.rpose best; but bearing
in mind the cardinal principals that
underlie art in the household-sim-
plicity and hsrmony-she will never
go far astray. What would be In
accord In one place, In another
might be manifestly inharmonious.
The carpet which was appropriate
to the large rooms and elegant fur
nishings Of mansion, would GER
tainly be an incongruity in the
cottage. As carpets are 60 essen
TALLY decorative In nature, there
should be great care given to their
selection. No flowers or birds
nests, or anything it would be inap-
propriste to walk upon; but rather
some simple design-as graceful
scrolls, in quiet colors, which should
be brighter or darker than the walls /;
following the artists method which
makes the foreground or background
run into the fgure-though our own
preference, both on the score of
beauty and OF health, is for polished
hard wood floors, with oriental rugs.
Walls and ceilings should have
good amount Of color on them, not
SO much, however, a. to be glaring
and where there are hangings, let
them differ enough to avoid mon
otony. Throw in q bit of effective
contrast in q chair or rug, then a
spot of vivid color, as brightly pain
ted plate or glowing picture, will
produce a charming effect. 3. 2 4s.4
