NATIONAL COMPARISONS.

New York and Pennsylvania seem large,
while Texas and California are dimly appre-
ciated. But such survey as we have sup
posed will supply you with new and vaster
standards of measurement Texas, for in
stance, may look no larger on your atlas than
New York. But you will learn that Texas
is larger than England and France COM
bined that it would make FIVE States like New
York, seven like Ohio, thirty-fve like Massa-
chusetts, and two hundred like Rhode Island.
The six New England States are larger than
old England, and yet not so large as the sim
gleState of Missouri. California would much
more than cover all the New England and
Middle States combined, and would almost
cover France New England, with Maine
doubled, would hardly equal Oregon, and
not much overlay Minnesota. Nevada is as
big as New York and Pennsylvania, and Ore.
gon is larger still. Nebraska is bigger than
New England. Ohio would make five Mass
chusetts, and yet Kansas would more than
make two Ohios. Texas alone nearly equals
in area the old thirteen and Texas, Colo
RADIO, California, Oregon, Minnesota, Ne
braska and Kansas, all but equal in extent
all the other States and Territories combined.
Such comparisons somewhat assist the mind
in the difficult conception Of territory more
than 100000 Of square miles and more
than 1000, ,0OO,0 900 of acres. And yet mere ex-
tent of surface alone is but questionable ad.
vantage. The great desert of Sahara in north
ern Africa is almost as large as the United
States, and all the worse for the human dwell
ers in it. But a vast proportion of our
country's area is not merely arabic, but in

Why THE LAW Is UNcERTAN.-Lan-
guage is an imperfect instrument for the ex-
preston of ideas. Not few of its forms are
ambiguous; that is, they speak in two ways.
Readers and hearers are left in old Isaac's
perplexity. The voice is that Of Jacob, the
hand is that of Esau.
Many of the terms Of language reequivo-
cal. They have two meanings, so that the
reader is in doubt as to the mind or intention
of the writer.
Those who draft statutes know how difficult
it is to frame law which shall be free from
ambiguous expressions or equivocal terms.
Judge Story once told personal incident,
which illustrates this difficulty.
He was employed by Congress to draft an
act. So important was it that he spent six
months in trying to perfect its phraseology.
His purpose was to make the statute so clear
that the most astute lawyer should not be
able to cast the shadow of doubt upon its
meaning.
The draft, proving satisfactory to the law
yers in Congress, became law. In less than
year, suit, involving the Interpretation of
this very law, came before the court over
which Justice Story presided. Having heard
the arguments Of the able attorneys, the Judge
confessed that he was unable to decide upon
the meaning of statute which he himself
had framed.
He, of course, knew what he had meant to
put into the law. But the criticisms of the
two lawyers showed him that he had used
such ambiguous expressions that twas doubt
ful if he had said what he meant to have said.

BYRON.
The sun was yet an hour high when the
battle was ended. Ferguson lay dead on the
field. Williams lived to hear the shout Of
victory, with prophetic fervor to thank God
for his country's deliverance, blessed the
brave boys, his sons, who bore him in their
arms, and died "content." The havoc had
been terrible-not one of the British force es-
capped. Two hundred and forty were killed
and two hundred were wounded over seven
hundred were taken prisoners, and fifteen
hundred stands of arms fell into the hands of
the Americans. 1t was loss of one.fourth
of CORVALLIS army. The assailants had the
honor of reducing number superior to their
own, and for this growing victory, one hour
suGced-"a crowding hour of glorious life" :"
Of the patriots, twenty-eight were killed
and sixty wounded. A large proportion of
these were officers, from the fact that with
the American volunteers, the officer not only

PAPER PULP.-So much is being said about
the paper pulp, which is so extensively used
in the manufacture of paper, at this time, that
brief description of the process Of making
it will be interesting. Any white soft wood
may be used. The bark is taken off, the knots,
dark and decayed places cut out. 1t is then
put into large caldron and boiled, which ex-
tracts all the glutinous matter and resin and
renders it soft. 1t is then put on large
stone grinder, with water pouring on it all the
time. This grindstone wears o6'all the 6bres
until they are finer than sawdust, which float
away into receptacle. The water is drained
off by means of fine sieve, leaving the pulp,
which consists of fine fuzz or splinters Of
wood. 1t is white, and requires no bleaching
or chemicals, but is ready to be mixed with
rag pulp or anything else that has strong
fibre and will receive the proper constituentsto
make it into paste, after which it is run into
paper sheets; whereas rags have to be washed
and bleached with chloride Of lime, soda, ash,
and alum, and such strong chemicals, to take
out the color Then they are picked to pieces
and made into pulp. The process by which
wood pulp is made is purely mechanical, and
as any soft wood, such as cottonwood and
poplar, may be used, it can be made cheap;
say at about one cent per pound.
How TO QUARREL.-It is always easy to
find a subject to quarrel about, and almost al
ways easy to find person who is just hot
tempered enough to give you an opportunity.
With subject and person at hand, the way is
open to make life as disagreeable as possible,
and you can feed on hot words until your
moral digestion is spoiled. We have noticed
that in every quarrel it is the reply and not
the assertion which makes the trouble. The
man who gets mad cannot possibly have a
good time until he can get second person
mad also, and if he succeeds in that, the two
have very enjoyable season. When man
says biting thing to you, if you can only get
YOUR tongue between your teeth and hold it
there for few minutes, the storm which por-
tends you will pass away but if, on the other
hand, are determined to give as good as is sent,
rivalry Immediately begins, and you become
hot, feverish and unreasonable. The old ne
gro was right who said that the reason why a
certain quarrel was settled, was that one Of
the parties "kep' on akin pertinent questions
and de oder KEEP on sayin' nothin', an that"
he added, twill settle a big difficulty quicker
than anythin' else"
hGr Cinnamon, in numerous small parties,
continue to arrive in New York from the Pa
ciic coast. Those who arrived last week are
represented to be greatly delighted with that
city, where their treatment is 80 different from
what they have been accustomed to in San
Francisco. They are specially delighted with
the privileges they are permitted to enjoy in
common with other people, such as riding in
the street cars, the use Of the ferry boats &c.,
They are also pleased that they can walk the
streets without being compelled to dodge a
shower of missiles or other hostile manifesto
tions from the hoodlums

TIE STATE FAIR.

This year the State Agricultural Society
will hold its 9th annual fair at Sacra-
nento, commencing On the Doth and end
ing on the 25th of September. Our Me.
chanics' Institute Fair will continue till
the llth of September, and close in time
to allow opportunity for such persons as
wish to exhibit at the State Fair to ship
their goods to Sacramento. The Central
articles free, under the annexed conditions ::
"Charges will be collected for the trans
portation TO the fair After exhibition, the
articles, if consigned direct to original
shipping point, and the ownership has not
changed, will be returned free. and
the charges paid for transportation
to the fair will be refunded by
the railroad agent at destination
upon presentation of the Secretary's GER
tificate of exhibition and surrender of the
expense bill for freight charges paid at
Sacramento" The railroad company also
offers to issue excursion tickets to parties
going to the fair and returning, at half
price. Terms like these are 80 exceed
ingly generous that they are likely to be
taken advantage of by all those who are
desirous of visiting the fair. This year
the Society gives over $4,000 in pre-.
miums, and will issue large number of
diplomas besides. Special premiums will
be given for all meritorious articles not
mentioned in the schedule, and gold
medal to the most worthy exhibitor in
each of the departments. There will be
liberal distribution of silver medals also
Next to the purses offered in the "speed
programme, the largest sums are paid to

Sprague left the Jail here at lao last night,
after compulsory residence therein of two
years and a half. To avoid any possible
chance for excitement, the Sheriff had kept
his own counsel as to his movements, and
Sprague was astonished when awakened to be
ironed at the above hour. Taking him to a
carriage, Sheriff Detrny and Under Sheriff
Easley drove over to Santa Barbara, where
the latter took passage with his prisoner for
San Quentin. Mrs. Sprague called to see her
husband as usual this morning, but found
only farewell note. The community feel
relieved to be finally rid of the last of these
prisoners, as the people have been divided
into factions over the matter for nearly three
years. The almost universal verdict is one
of approval of the Governors leniency,
coupled with the hope that there will be no
more interference with the sentence.
