v " WORDS FROM A WISE MAN.

Dr. d'ejoyl, finds the antagonism
is the II; int product of ignorance and fear.
While,nis religious opinions have under
gone 10 change, he goes rs far in the adj
vocacy Of science as the most ultra free
thinker can consistently ask him to go. He
regards it, not as something to be avoided
and assaulted, but as gold" with which we
ought to "enrich ourselves" In his es-
tilnation it is not device of the devil, but
a gift from God, and should be treated ac-
cordinely. From DR.. McCosh, better per-
'haps than any one else, comes the keen,
but kindly rebuke to those who attempt to
"demolish" certain scientific theories,
without knowing what those theories real
ly are, much less the laboriously collected
evidence upon which they are based. No
man has right to sit in judgment upon
Darwin, Huxley or Spencer until he has
studied and worked as the scientist he
judges has studied and worked. To as
sumo that he can learn in week, month
or year enough to refute the results of a
life-time's patient toll, is an insult to popu-
lar intelligence and very justly provokes
popular derision and contempt. Darwin,
Huxley, Spencer and their advocates may
be all right or all wrong, but common
sense, as we'll as common decency, demands
they be judged by their peers.-[Waco

CONTINENTAL OIL
And Transportation Company, Nos. 81 to
60 Front Street.

The Continental Oil and Transportation
Company of California conducts business
of the foremost rank and Importance upon
this coast. The main office of the company
is at l20 and l22 Front street, San Fran
cisco, with branches at Sacramento, Oak
land, Marysville. Stockton, San Jose, Los
Angeles, Reno, Eiko, Tucson, etc. The
branch Office in this city is at Nos.
81 to SO Front street, where they
occupy two large floors, with a
store-room 40xl60 feet. Their tank
on the railroad track connects with
system OF pipes in the basement of the
store, where packing is done, and where
they have novel and unique system of
filing packages. The company make their
own cans and cases, thereby enabling them
to meet all demands OF the trade as to
| style of packing. The company deal ex.
cluslvely at wholesale, and their transac-
| tions are exceedingly large and rival those
of all other similar companies doing bust.
ness upon the coast The business OF the
company in this city, as represented by
rail shipments, is often so large in g single
week as to be strikingly phenomenal
Although largely occupying the en-
tire field, the tendency of the business
Of the company is not to increase the
price by monopoly of the trade, but, on
/ the contrary, large reduction has been
effected through its plan OF operation. The
leading feature of the company and its
claim for success lie in its reduction OF the
cost OF transportation Of It's supplies from
the East to this coast. THIS is accom-.
plished by the oil being brought in cars
of peculiar construction for the purpose Of
transporting oil in bulk. These cars are
owned by the company, and their exclusive
use is secured to them by patent. OF
course oil could be shipped in bulk in the
oil tank car, but the transportation o.
these tanks in returning thence to the
East empty would be heavy expense,
while the patent car is SO constructed that
/ it is returned to the East loaded with mer.
/ chandise. Their method OF importing IL
bulk. and the rapid filling system, enables
/ them to undersell competitors. They deal
in all grades Of illuminating oils, also lu.
| bricants of all kinds. Under the advan-
/ tages possessed Ivy the company, their bust
ness has increased over 200 per cent. dur.
ing the last year. This alone vouches for
/ the assertions made in this review.

This is among the Oldest business estab.

tablished in 1884. Mr.. Cohen has been
long established here, and is we'll known
throughout the central and northern por-
tions OF California. He deals largely in
carpets of all grades, oilcloth, wall. paper,
shades, mating pictures and picture frames,
holdings, upholstery goods, and general
| assortment of all classes OF goods belong
ing to the business. He has always on
hand the latest and most elegant designs
in all grades of carpeting, which are noted
for the superior quality of their wool and
beautiful patterns With his facilities for
purchasing and receiving goods direct from
the East, he can offer unsurpassed induce
ments to every one who desires anything
IN his line. In the first place his goods are
imported direct from first hands, and from
! only those houses whose reputation and
standing for the quality of their goods is
/ tirst-class Secondly, his expenses, he
| claims, are much less than those of any
| similar houses on the coast carrying on so
large and varied stock of goods. Thirdly,
he gives his personal supervision to his
business. and does all in his power to give
satisfaction to his customers, both at home
and abroad. His business has stesdily in
creased, and ne has always kept prices
down to the very lowest rates. His trade
extends all along the lines OF the Central
Pacific Railroad, and throughout Nortnerr
and Central California. His business is
another proof that Sacramento merchants
possess facilities for trade that are not en-.
joyed by those of the metropolis, and that
people abroad realize the fact that Mr.
Cohen keeps superior class of goods .and
sells them at modest prices. Any order

sPRING.TOOTH HARROW.
BitchelOr, Van Geider d Co., Manufact-
urers OF sprlng.TO0th Harr0ws,
Saai.rc nrA CuItyv.faxs

In reply to inquiries concerning the
Spring Tooth Harrow, manufactured by
Bachelor, Van Gelder & Co., and the culti-
vator of like pattern, as to whether they
are practical, durable and adapted to
the wants of the farmers of the California,
we can answer, after satisfying the judg-
ment by observation and by conversing with
some OF the most practical farmers of the
State, that for general work on California
farms, the harrow is one of the most practi-
cal and durable implements yet introduced
More work can be done with less expense
for repairs than on other harrows, thus
making it durable. 1t is peculiarly adapted
TO the wants OF the farmers, from the fact
that it does the work not only of harrow,
but by adjusting the teeth, it excels the
chisel- tooth cultivator on hard summer
fallow or volunteer ground. The No. 3
harrow, being ten feet in width, nearly
twice as much ground can be worked in a
day and drawn by the same number
of horses, owing to the lessened draft of
spring teeth over the rigid tooth of the
cultivator. The firm also manufactures a
seeder with the spring-too,h harrow at
I
| tached, which promises to he equally as
| favorably received, and from an examina-
ton seems highly meritorious. The small
cultivatOrs for vineyards are used and in
dorsed by men of no less prominence in
grape culture than John Lewellin & Son,
Charles krug of Napa valley, and many
from other parts of the State. We would
also like to cay few words in regard to
the growth of the business done by this
enterprising firm during the past year. The
business was only fairly started the first
day of January, 1880, and isnowshowing its
extent, worth and volume. At the begin.
ming of 1850 the firm occupied room just
large enough to store one carload of har-
rows in. By thorough management
and active effort they were ne
cessitated to add to their store room
little by little, until now they
occupy Nos. 900 and 902 K street-50 feet
front by 20 deep-and employ ten men
constantly painting, boiling and putting
up harrows. They have sold about 600
of the harrows and cultivators during the
year, with prospects good of threbling
! these sales during 1881. We can recon-
mend them as being live, thorough firm
to do business with, and from our knowl-
edge of their harrow predict largely in
creased trade. The agricultural reader
should not fail to visit Bachelor. Van
Colder & Co. 8 place and examine the har-
row, cultivator and seeder, and he will find
that every claim put forth for their imple-
ments is by reason and good sense verified
even before actual trial of the machines.

OF Sixth and II streets, only two blocks
from the saiesroom. In addition to this
wood manufacture, of ali descriptions, they
carry also full line of upholstered goods
such as mattresses, lounges, parlor
sets, etc. From small beginnings
and a local trade this company has
pushed its way to the front as one OF
thesleading firms of its class on the coast,
increasing It's production yearly and ex-
extending its trade to all the towns in
Northern and Central California, and as
far east as Eureka, Nevada; also to South
ern California and Arizona. They claim
that they have proved beyond all ques.
