The clean Trinidad nut, Of average
size, fetches $25 to $50 a thousand
in New York, we hear, and gre told
this rate pays fairly well. But while
the huSk is on, the buyer cannot tell
the size Of the nut and in this IT APP
bears there are wide differences.
The San Bias nuts, the biggest al d
best that come to the New York
market, bring $40 to $45 a thousand
there, decorticated of course and
there are broad differences in nuts
grown within a few miles Of each
other, arising, it would seem, from a
difference in the material OF the soil
they grow in, its permeablllty and
drvnesS, &c. We learnt, only this
week, that there is "a great difference
in the value of the nuts grown ut
various parts of Mayaro Bay, on
which coast those Of the OrtOire
Cocal bear the best character, and
next those at the North end of Maya
TO. Parts of Icacos grow large nuts
also, but it is said that some OF the
bays Over the Gulf, as Yacua for
instance, grow bigger nuts than any
produced here. We know some
planters who are confident the tree
grows equally well in any soil, but
there are serious results in d%iSproof
The cocOnut palm, on some lands
here, grows nuls that yield "A gal

on others not twenty miles off, nor
ten, give no more than IS. Spanish

Nuts here, have generally been &C
counted, without discrimination, any
thousand as good as another; but
this is a grave mistak', and as value
for oil, or indeed any purpose, will
much depcnG on the size of the nut,
and as the thickness of the fhrous
husk differs IN the nuts from certain
trreS, II is natural the buyer in
America (where he at present finds
the husk unsaIeabIe) should prefer to
buy them stripped.
These things will make most grow
ers and shippers give a preference to
the English market, for which less
trouble is required and from which
they can feel certain Of a fair re-
turn.
We believe that IN England the
nut is sold mainly as an edible, to
children ana others, the fibre going

SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE Figaro has a dis
patch from Cairo which affirms that the
Governments of England and France have
entered into u definite agreement in
regard to the control OF the finances
OF Egypt. 1t says that France has &C.
cepted the offer of England that the
Presidency of the Public Debt Commits
sion be given to France, as a compensa-
ton for doing away with the present sys-
TEN of control. The other questions re-
latinE to the finances of Egypt will be
treated by these two Governments in con-
cert with the other great Powers of Eu-
rope for their approval.
BERLIN, Nov. 14.-The Post in an article
directed against the French Government,
says it was possible for England to raise a
coalition against Germany, and for Ger
many to excite unison against England,
but experience shows that Germany never
opposes England, and England never op-
poses Germany.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 14.-The Sultan
had a levee to celebrate the 1300th year of
the Monammedan calendar, which, accord
ing to the prediction of soothsayers, will
give to the world a new Prophet of Islam.
A new proclamation will be made public
by astrologers, who assured the Sultan
that he himself is Mahdi, or the new
Prophet of Islam. The celebration of the
mystic solemnities is so universal that
business at Constantinople and in the
streets Is given up to the professions and
religious festivities.

PACIFIC COAST ADvICES



SAN Francisco, Nov. lin the case OF
Fook All Helm, a Chinese merchant who
arrived on the steamer Coptic and was not
permitted to land, Judge Hoffman of the
United States District Court to-day sus-
tanned the writ Of habeas corpus permit

eision being that, although the applicant
had no certificate, it was proved by sufi-
cient evidence that he was a merchant and
consequently needed none. Three other
Cinnamon are detained on the Coptic. and
the District Attorney thinks that evidence
must be produced in court to admit of
their landing, but Judge Hoffman ex-
pressed the opinion that the Collector Of
the Fort could make inquiries, and il sat.

A MISTAKE.

Last Sundays SENTINEL contained Sn
article reproduced from the Sacramento
Bee, and credited to that paper, the
object Of which was merely to show, in
a very striking way, by reference to the
defeat OF Frank Page Of California, the
overwhelming victory Of the Democrats
in that State. Up to within a week or
SO preceding the election Page had been
regarded as solid in his district as Sunset
Cox is still looked upon in his, though
for vastly different reasons. 1t was COM
monty said, and never questioned, that
the railroad district, of which Page wRs
the representative, belonged to him as
certainly as ne belonged to the railroads.
That be could be beaten by anybody at
all, bat especially g STRIPPING in politics
who had tremendous odds Of all sorts TO
contend against, was hardly dreamed Of
until the Democratic cyclone from Ohio
had got to revolving fairly in California.
Nothing occurred to the SENTINEL that
could be used with more force to show
the complete and far.reaohing conse-
quences Of the successful revolution to
r~e-establish wholesome Democratic SUI
premacy throughout the country. Hence
the publication in the SENTINEL Of the
article from the Sacramento Bee. The
Silver State is entirely mistaken in at
tributing the following words to u.s.

the sentiment of which the SENTINEL
does not indorse by any means.

presses the opinion of the SENTINEL as

SHERMAN is RIGHT.

Sherman is quite right in objecting to
Plumb's proposition that the surplus reve-
nues over 800, O00,O0 in the Treasury be
applied to the reduction of the debt As
q fact, however, the term surplus revenues
is improperly applied here. The gold. in
the Treasury is not a surplus, nor is it. as
Plumb ignorantiy asserts, lying idle. 1t is
performing most useful and indispensable
function. 1t is supplying substantial
foundation to the credit of the country.
Should Plumbs mischievous proposition be
adopted it will not be long before the ma.
tional credit will totter. The very fact OF
touching the coin reserve in the way sug-
gested would weaken that credit. Senator
Sherman's warning reference to the already
commenced drain of gold was opportune.
II the men who are now meddlipg pre-
sumptuouslY and ignorantly with the coin
reserve do not hold their hands, and if the
European financial situation does not
change for thu better speedily, there will
be serious trouble, and The country will
have enough to do to stave off a crisis of
its own, without inviting it by imbecile as
saults upon the basis of the stability of
She paper currency.

they have found gravel, and are highly

The Valentine mines at Mohawk Valley

Henry Neesman, the discoverer, was in

fine specimens, some from the quartz and

hours the other day, and then the water

Mining men have been exceedingly
active the past two weeks, a delegation of
capitalists from below and from the East
arriving and departing three or four times
a week. Something must come of all this
secret work. There is every indication
that the coming season is to be the hveliest
that we have had for many years. Capital
lists are just beginning to have confidence in
our quartz mines, and the enquiry for them
is daily increasing. -[Placerville Repub.
lican.
A gentleman who visited the Potter mine
near Angels recently, says he went down
the shaft, which is over a hundred feet
deep, and found the main vein to be from
nine to fourteen feet in width. The ore
averages from $l4 to SIS per ton, and can
be obtained at small outlay. The pro.
prietors are stopping, and are getting out
quartz very rapidly. Overhead is vast
body of ore, which it is estimated, will
produce from $50, 600 to $4,000, and over
300 tons is now on the dumps, ready for
crushing. -[Angels Camp Echo.

THE JEANETTE" SEARCH.

The recent dispatch from Lieutenant
Danenhauer gives some encouragement in
regard to the party of Commander De
Long. Dsnenhauer says that he has at last
obtained definite news of the party, and
ascertained the region in which they are
believed to be. He states further that
the Russian search parties are proceeding
with great vigor and enthusiasm. The
news about Lieutenant Chips party, how
ever, is as bad as possible. Danenhauer
thinks that the third boat must have sunk
in the gale which separated the crew of
the Jeanette. Nothing whatever has
been heard of her, and it seems doubtful
whether her fate will ever be known
now. Melville, however, proposes to go
in search of her in the spring with
steamer, if possible, and two officers are
to be sent out from Washington on that
service. Thus the latest intelligence war
rants hope that De Long and his men
will be found all living, but it throws

is almost equivalent to knowledge of her
loss. The presumption now Is that not more
than two thirds of the Jeannette's crew
will return to civilization. Danenhauer
intimates that the expedition discovered
some islands during the long drift of the
Jeanette, and he states that she sprung
her forefoot at an early date in the voyage,
and that the pumps had consequently to be
manned continually for eighteen months,
when she was finally crushed in the ice,
and the crew had to abandon her. 1t
appears from this that she was virtually
disabled at the outset of her voyage, for
even had she succeeded in getting clear of
the ice it is very doubtful whether, after
such an injury, she could have carried the
expedition into port, ana in any event it
would have been necessary to give up the
thought of further northern exploration.
The Jeanette thus proves to have been
singularly unfortunate from the very begin
ming, and considering all things it will be
lscky if two-thirds of her crew succeed
in regaining their homes after all.

oppressed, weary, petrified, filling the
