The MAHoNE.ABTHUR GAME.-ThC
Radical organs in the State don't like
the result in Virginia. They now seem
to view it as an olephant-unable tc
handle it. The Philadelphia Inquirer
staunch Radical organ, in alluding tC
the result says:
Mahone's victory 10 Virginia vas a sweeping
ons--a fact to bS deplorel ia view Of the othei
fact that 1t was brought about by the assistance
given II by the Republican party, or at least, th,
stilwart faction Of it. The Repub liean party, By
supporting Malone and lending him materia
aid in bis battle Of reputation, has committed
itself to that financial and dishCnorable heresy
he sequence Of what it has done may be found
in the suggestion If Malone organ Of Virginia
that he balance Of the national debt shall be paid
upon the Readjusters' plan adopted at the late
election in that State.
Again the same organ remarks:
Except in tho Virginia election the Republican
party has never appeared as the supporter Of re
pudiation or dishonesty Of any sort, and It hal
lost confidence both at home and abroad By aid
ing Malone to win the repudation victory.
What nice party it has been, ac
cordiDg to this organ, until now. The
Month american, the oldest of all The
organs, dcplorcs the victory in thii
way;
Let The Virginia Leg slalure throw the Riddle
berger bill into the waste basket and call another
conference Of the States creditors. The State II
amply able TO make an honest settlement now
and when 1t is made capital will be invested
and immigration will pour into the State at such
a rate that she will he rich enough in few year
to begin to redeem the principal. Honesty is th,
best policy, and the Republican party demands
that an honest settlement Of the Virginia debt
question be made.
That's good and true advice, but
why was it not given out a week be
fore the election.

YAQuIKA BAY.

The effect Of the energetic and sue
cessfui efforts last session to cause
the improvements at Yadina to be
adopted as of public interest and
put on tie regular book of estimates
is now seen. The trifiing sum of $i0-
600 has been inserted by the House
Committee on appropriations, as the
addition this session to the previous
grant of $4,000. And we must be
very thankful for this very small
mercy. 1t will at any rate continue
the jetty work so much farther, and
it will not need to be trenched on for
surveys, and purchase OF tug, and
plant and all the rest of the prelim' :
nary outlay, which is bound to fall
heavily on the commencement OF
such an undertaking. So soon as
sufficient time has elapsed, to let the
work begin in earnest, we propose to
60 down and see for ourselves, and
submit to our readers plain and un-
vanished account of what we see
and hear. We should be glad if Ri
alto would tell us from the Bay how
the rough, winter weather has affect
ed the bar. Whether the barbor has
been blockaded by ice or storms
and what the possibilities have been
of successful work being continued
through the winter months. 1t is
time that regular efforts should be
made to enlighten the public, and
shipmasters in particular, on these
practical points.

THE BEST INVESTMENT ON 4 FARM.

Recently, while visiting a friend in
the Old Dominion" / very much
admired his long ranks of stove-woodl
piled and neatly kept. "Yes," said
he, "that is the best investment or
the farm" Cut, hanied and worked
up during January, one does not feel
the expense. And It saves much val
uable time and temper as well, at 9th.
er seasons OF the year, when there is
need Of every effort to be rut forth
in the planting, tending or harvest
ing of crops. Stove wood, in order
TO be good, should be well seasoned.
Hence little more than years sup
ply should be kept on hand. But it
can be worked more economically
when green. Now, if the reader
wishes to be up in his business, and
accounted a thrifty farmer, let him
go to work at once and manufacture
enough of this very necessary com
modify to last year and half.
Then, when you have once started in
the good way, go forward; persevere;
and there will be one in your house
hold at least who will rise up and
call you blessed.
If you have not wood-shed at.
tached to your house, cord it in snug
ranks and it will answer just as well,
and perhaps better; for green wood,
in order to season thoroughly, needs
alr and sunlight. And good mum.
ber of our SO called wood-sheds are
really built with such imperfect
means Of ventilation that the wood
mildews and moulds, causing a SER
ious deterioration of its value. The
shed should be built to face the south
if possible and the south side should
be kept open, or with lattice-work
enclosed at most.
| Another view to take Of the good
wood pile is that it is an anti-dispep-
tic. IF yon take hand in preparing
lit, it leads to good appetite, and
a good appetite is usually healthful.
Secondly, good wood, in most cases,
means good cooking-nice, ligh,
b read, etc. And if one always has a
healthfnl appetite and well-cooked
victuals, he will not be very apt to
have the dyspepsia, or other chronic
ailments.
And, moreover, as Christian far
mers, we should not lose sight of a
good wood pile as means of grace.
How can we expect the angel who
prcsides over the household, to retain
all of her angelic virtues it we pro
vide her only with wet, soggy wood
and while she battles with the steam
ing, sizzling, aggrava,ing stuff. We
beat a cowarlly retreat to the Club
or Grange, and then by way Of com.
pliment to her, invite some friend
home to dinner, as if expecting to
find a well-cooked meal, cheerful
J wife and everything lovely? In
short, a good wood pile is one of the
essential factors of a well regulated
farm-one where wife and husband
have good understanding, and
withal that amount of system aud
fore management which tends most
to regularity, comfort, and success,
and without which our farms are rot
managed, but only run "-the
owners being usually the chief par.
ties to the untimely exercise.-Ex.

stock suit.

The District Court, Hon. S. D. King,
has been occupied for the past two days
trying the case OF y. p. Willis VS..
Wells, Fargo & Co. for $i94 due on a
stock transaction. The plaintiff claimed
that he deposited so shares of Mount
Diablo stock with Wells, Fargo & Co.
on a certain day to be sold, and that the
defendants, through their authorized
agent, on that day notified the plaintiff
that his stock had been disposed of in
the San Francisco Board Of Brokers at
the rate of SO per share. AT later
period the defendants to this suit ad-
vised the plaintiff that by miscon-
struction of CIPHER telegram received
from their San Francisco correspondent
they notified him the plaintiff) of the
sale Of larger quantity Of stock than
had really taken place but that the
sale on that certain date had only
amounted to five shares. In the mean
time the stock had dropped to lower
figure than quoted at the date of the al
legged transaction. In charging the
jury his Honor, Judge King, substa n
TALLY gave instructions that, in the
event the defendants could not prove
that the sale did not take place, to find
for the plaintiff. After being out an
hour, the jury rendered a verdict for
o. p. Willis in the sum of $500, less Sc
commission. The case is likely to be
appealed.

appealed.

The murderer of John A. Barrett,
whore name was given in the APPEAL
of yesterday as Nicholas Jennings, was
Richard Jennings, a brother to Nicholas,
or Dick Turpin, as Nick was generally
called in California. Richard Jennings,
according to the Grass Valley Tidings,
was native of Pennsylvania, and had
lived at Grass Valley from 1859 up ia
the time of his departure for Austin, a
few weeks ago. The father and mother
of Richard Jennings, as well as the no.
torious Nick, are now living in South
Carolina. The father-in-law Of the
lynched murderer sent for the remains,
which will be inferred in Grass Valley,
where Jennings left a wife and four
children.
