Comments of the London Times.

LONDON, July S.-The Times says whether
the author of the attack on President Garfield
is a lunatic or merely morbid brooder on i'm
aginary wrongs, there is no doubt his crime
will do more than volumes of argument to
turn the attention of Americans to the weak
points Of their political system.
After long review Of James Parton's arti-
Gle, "The Power of Public Plumber" in the
July number Of the North American Review,
the Times concludes as follows: SIT is small
wonder that the gigantic experiment America
is working out should not always go without
a fault; but Americans have at least the merit
that they ARE perfectly alive to their own
faults, and that when their faults become in
tolerable they set themselves to cure them.
Parton's picture is gloomy one, but there is
another side to it, and the time has not yet
come for him to despair of the Republic"

pany. GI1 y street.

This company having been before the pub
lie upwards of twenty six years, adding each
year new and important improvements, it
would seem that they at last reached the
acme OF perfection in their new No. ma
chine. To see this marvellous piece of sew
ing mechanism without any extra attach
ment, darn up hole or put on patch, in
any kind of material, is of itself wonder
and when we consider that button-hole
attachment, for making button holes in all
kinds of materials. simple, PRACTICAL and
durable is now attached TO this machine,
we may well ask, viii wonders ever
cease. In reviewing the sewing machine
business of our State and immediate To-
cality, we cannot pass the wonderful No.
Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine also
No. cylinder, particularly adapted to
boot and shoe work. The company works
occupy an area of over seven acres, and
employ over 600 operatives. Last July
their orders exceeded the capacity of the
company to ell over So. 600 and to-day it
is impossible to procure machines enough
on this coast to supply the rapidly increas-
ing demand MIR. G. Bartlett, No. 20 Geary
street. San Francisco, is the resident man
agerfor the Pacific coast, and to his energy
and executive ability, the Wheeler & VII
son Company owe the fact that their bust
ness has increased fifty per cent. under his
management. The Sacramento branch is
under the immediate supervision of Mr.. E.
II. Emery, an expert in the use OF the ma
chine, and a gentleman who guarantees
satisfaction to purchasers of this popular
machine. Let people call in upon him at
6i7 j street, Sacramento, and they will go
away, feeling that for ease of operation,
beauty Of construction, finish, adaptability
to a greater range Of work than any other,
it is claimed the best sewing apparatus in
the world The Mechanics Store of this
city is now running fifteen No. SIS, by
steam power, and the machines are giving
perfect satisfaction to that exacting house.
1t is worth while to devote an hour TO
a visit to the agency on ] street, and
verify what is here said.

may be said Of their fruit their

there any inferior article. This the local
and the country trade both know, and the
result is that the house has the reputation
Tor dealing only in articles of high stand
ard, and hence the producers seek the
house to sell their very best productions,
finding there always a certain market. In
potted and canned goods, relishes, etc,
the firm keeps a stock for custom accom-
mediation. In the game department the

cheese, ETC., being constantly on hand;
but it does claim to be surpassed or
equaled by none in the fullness of all its
departments, though willing to admit of
worthy competitors in one or more depart
ments. We must not forget to add that
this house is the agent for the celebrated
Baltimore oysters, and brings them here
fresh packed in ice.

TIE New York Market, situate on the
northeast corner of J and Tenth streets, is
one of the principal market features OF our
city, but to give detailed account of the
workings of this institution and its branches
of business is not the present intention, for
want of both time and space. 1t must
suffice to simply say that the propuetors,
NJ, NJ Odell & Son, are thoroughly live
business men, and by giving their close at
tention and personal supervision OF all mat
tiers pertaining to their several cllGngs.
they have built themselves up flourishine
trade, which rates second to none OF any
this side Of San Francisco They are also
extensively engaged in fattening cattle and
hogs, and of the latter class Of stock they
have at one of their ranches some 400 head
under feed, and with the large amounts of
hay and grain of their own raising now on
hand, this branch of their business must
pay large profits. Their slaughter-hou
and stock yards are situated Immediately
south of the city proper, on one Of th2ir
ranches. At this establishment they kill
for their market monthly about I20 beeves,
so to 20 calves, $50 70 500 sheep, besides a
large number of hogs Here also is carried
on their hide and tallow business, as far as
the sailing of the hides and the curing of
the sheepskins, and rendering out and pre-
pairing for market the tallow, etc., is con.
cerned and judging By the large amount
of dry and salt hides on hand, they do
very extensive business in this line. r6e
firm ships all their hides direct to tanners,
and their tallow to soap and candle manu-
facturers, thereby realizing the large pro-
fits made by the middle-men or hide
dealers, as they are usually termed. We
are informed on good authority that the
saving to them by thus shipping direct to
consumers realizes for them handsome
profit, amounting to saving on their own
monthly killing alone Of from $3.50 to $500
in prices obtained over and above those
paid in former times to them by hide deal
ers. The losses by the culling process as
priced by some hide dealers has been
entirely wiped off their books

ton that the person who has the money to
pay down for his goods, and the foresight
to purchase them at cash store, receives
more goods for the same money than by
purchasing them at store that gives
credit. The Peoples Store, southeast
corner OF Sixth and streets, is repre-
sentative Of what cash can DO Its prices
are the lowest, their goods OF the best,
and their trade, as q necessary consequence,
is in Furnishing condihon-for it is an
acknowledged fact that the masses will
patronize that store which gives the best
value Even the iow-mlnded. who never
pay, viii muster up cash to 90 there and
Uuy-Decause they can save morey by so
dong, ana for that reason, the harder the
times and tie scarcer the money, the
brlsker Is the trade OF the Peoples Store.
| One OF the prime features of this estab-
lIshment Is the country order department.
Orders for dry goods OF all descriptions,
gents white and co!o.ed shirts. underwear,
tailor cloths and supplies, furnishing OF en-
tire hotels, lace curtains and bedwear,
tickings for upholsterers, silks for wedding
parties and ginghams and calicoes for farm
and house wear, constitute the bulk of
orders that are received by every mail and
forwarded with immediate dispatch by
express or NAL TO all parts OF California,
Nevada, Oregon and the Territories. The
Peoples Store have recently published a
very explicit and useful guide in ordering.
They have at a great cost placed before
the public a price list and guide for pur.
cdasers, which CONTAINS many valuable and
useful instructions in regards how to order
and purchase, and also the prices OF every
article in the dry goods line. They are
sent free of charge, postpaid, to any ad-
dress. At this store all goods are plainly
marked with figures, so that purchasers
can see with their own eyes the price of
every article. One price is strictly in
forced, ami no Misrepresentation of goods
allowed. Those favoring the Peoples
Store with their orders or purchases will
find a strictly upright and straight forward
manner OF business conducted.

FRIEND & TERRY LUMBER CO.
second and N sfreets-Branch Yard
Twelfth and } streets.

The business of this well known COM
pany has regularly increased and expanded
since its first establishment at Sacramento,
In 1853, until it has attained such proper
lions that few words and figures illustra-
ting extent, methods and facilities, may
not be without interest to readers OF the
annual review columns. Commencing with
less than one city lot, it now occupies and
requires over one full block of lots for stor-
age of lumber, timber, posts, shingles,
doors, windows and the other building
material constantly carried, In full stock
and variety. Upon this ground substan-
tial buildings and sheds, covering a super
fetal area of 5000 square feet, and
averaging twenty feet in hight, have been
erected for protection against sun and
storm, while half mile of gangways and
nearly as much frontage upon streets and
alleys affords ready access to the immense
assortment. Although the investment for
covering and housing is large, partial
return upon the outlay is manifest alone in
the increased demand for Sacramento sea
soned lumber at many points in Nevada,
Utah, Colorado and notably of late, Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. Railroad and
"prairie schooner charges for transporta-
ton being by the ton, material saving to
the distant buyer follows the purchase
of his lumber in this city, where it no
toriously dries out quicker and much
lighter than would be possible at San Fran
cisco or near sea coast. Few are informed
of the present volume of this increasing
trade southwark aud eastward from Sacra-
meuto, and fewer still are aware that
regular shipments of edwOod lumber and
shingles are being made 60 Eastern cities.
The Friend & Terry Lumber Company
have recently sent car loads to New York
and Philadelphia, and have quoted prices
in reply to inquiries from Chicago, St.
Louis and other places. To meet q long
feit city want, they have established a
complete and extensive branch yard at
Twelfth and j streets, stocking it with
every variety of building and finishing
lumber known to the trade. Though
really mile from the main yard it is
literally within hailing distance, being
connected by telephone, and has proved of
the greatest convenience to builders in the
suburbs, and to farmers whose business
does not call them to the city front, or
whose teams do not take kindly
to the noise Of locomotives and
the proximity of moving trains.
With unsurpassed facilities, abundant cap
ital, direct connection with mills in the Or
egon, redwood and sugar pine districts,
old, tried and reliable employees, and the
prestige of Furnishing business for the
past twenty eight years, this company can
justly claim the leading position among in
terror dealers of the Pacific coast in
their department of trade. It's reputation
for fair dealing is soundly established, and
its unbroken success affords sufficient evi-
dence of the rule which governs in prices,
furnishing at the same time positive as
surance of substantial character and cor
rect business methods.
