IMMIGRATION.

The journals of Oregon and Washington
Territory boast that their sections receive
the cream of the immigration coming to
the coast. We are not prepared to admit
it, but it is certainly true that more of it
has passed by us than should. This is due
to several causes. The failure, until a
comparatively recent period, to disseminate
correct information regarding the advan-
tages of the State for the immigrant with
some means and willing to labor and wait.
The trumpeting abroad wonderful stories
concerning our climate and soil, and its Ca
pacities, without definite information to
enable the intending immigrant to avail of
them. The dwelling too long and often
upon our natural wonders, by which the
desirable settler has been led to believe we
cared only for the tourist; and lastly, fall
ure to point out clearly the obstacles to be
encountered and overcome, as well as the
profits to be reaped and the advantages to
be enjoyed. Immigration has been retarded,
IN short, because OF the lack OF specific In.
formation as to lands, methods, means re-
quired, cost of production, return Of the
soil, etc. Generalization has heretofore
been the rule and detail the exception.
Happily change has been instituted, and
already the good results are manifest The
immigrants coming in now are well in
formed as to what they must encounter /;
have sufficient capital, are prepared against
disappointment, and have definite localities
provided or in view, and are of class
fitted for labor in the varied fields of Cali.
fornia production. With the disintegration
of great land.holdings, the dissemination
of facts concerning California, and the in
crease of facilities for cheaply reaching the
coast, we are justified in anticipating a
sufficiently large and choice immigration
from this time forward.

THE THOMAS Music FESTIVAL - The
Thomas Festival for San Francisco is now an
assured fact. The details of this vast project
are fast being settled, and everything bids
fair for most wonderful success. Besides
Mr.. Thomas and his orchestra of sixty pieces,
there will accompany the party Miss Emma
Thursby, Madam Rive-King, Mrs. Hum
phrey Allen, Mrs. Norton Eartdegen. Miss
Belle Cole, Frederic Harvey and Franz
Remmertz-all artists, and especially quail
fled for the various tasks imposed upon them.
The chorus, which will be very interest
ing feature, will have some grand numbers.
including selections from "Lehengrin,n
Parsifal," "Alceste," Domination Of
Faust" and from the orstorios 1.-THE Mes.
siah, st. Paul, -" Elijah and Hymn of
Praise" To insure perfect discipline, and
prevent the chorus when united from being
cunbrous and unwieldy, only singers from
Sacramento, Oakland and San Francisco will
assist. The Sacramento contingent will be
drilled for while by Charles Winter, and
that of Oakland by Carl Won Weller, for.
Tnerly an assistant of Mr.. Thomas. In due
time, and long enough before the festival be-
gins to insure unity aud accuracy of execu.
tor, all will be brought together, and the
final rehearsals will be conducted under the
supervision of Mr.. Loring, who in the mean
time will be engaged with the San Francisco
singers. The entire chorus will number about
SEQ voices. The first general rehearsal of the
Sacramento delegation took place Wednesday
evening at the Sixth-street Methodist Episco.
pal Church. The Hymn of Praise" by
Mendelssohn, was taken up, and although
being very difficult composition, the sing
ers acquitted themselves admirably, all hav.
ing good voices and being good readers The
rehearsal proved that it is more the selection
of good voices which makes harmony rather
than large numbers of voices. The next re-
hserssl will be at the came place next We'd
nesday evening. Following are names Of the
Sacramento chorus: Soprano, Mrs. DIR.

Florin on Tuesday night about midnight.
He Immediately left for Florin, accompanied
by All Dan, a Chinese interpreter. He found
the body as reported, and brought it to this

and he was an employe in a wssh-house kept
by Sing Lee. As near az could be learned
the murdered man was standing near a win

through the window. The ball took effect
just below the heart, and the man died within
an hour. An inquest will be held at 10
o'clock this morning, but like many other

IT is very difficult for men who judge justly to
understand why certain papers constantly object to
low rates by rail between Sacramento and San Fran
csco, between which points competition is felt,
while for intermediate points, where no competition
exists normal rates prevail. Dc these papers seri-
ously contend that the railroads shall not compete
with the waterways and shall yield traffic to them,
or else extend commercial advantages to noncom-
petitive points equally with competitive ones
There is not business or carrier in the couu-

The Panama Canal.

BosToN, April 5th.-The Herald says !:
Captain Appleton, Of this city. De Lsssepa'
American agent, has returned here t'om
Panama. He gives an enthusiastic account
of the progress Of work on the canal. OF the
6.000 laborers employed. only twenty-five are
sick with fever in the hospitals, which are
clean, commodious, and well managed. The
Canal Company Is expanding about 500, OUO
on employees monthly, money is plenty on
the Isthmus, and thousands are attracted
there to make some of it. Another $50, 0O0
a month il spent in the offices OF the COM
pany in Paris and New York, and 10 the pur-
chase OF machinery and material in different
sections of Europe and America. The capital
of this company is $50, 900, 000, OF which not
one.half has been spent. Added to this
S25 OOO GOO in bonds for the purchase of the
Panama Railroad and other expenses which
are exclusive OF the canal fund, and we have
$50, COO, 900. This is enough to carry on the
work for two or three years, when, doubtless,
another issue of stock or bonds will be made.
It is curious fact that the stock of the COM
pany. of which the par value is $500, has very
seldom been below that figure. Being asked,
"What is your estimate of the probable ex-
pense of the construction and the necessary
time TO complete the undertakings Captain
Appleton said, 81 do noS hesitate to say that
it is of little import, If it should cost $780,
900 900 and take twenty years TO build IL, for
it is for all time and for al nations"

How to Make Perfumes.

By process known as enfeurage,
which is the exposure of beef fat to
fresh flowers in close boxes until it is
thoroughly permeated and charged
with their odors, the perfumes of six
flowers are obtained, which could in no
other manner known to science be
preserved apart from the fresh petals.
Those flowers are violet, jasmin, tube
rose, rose, orange-fower and cassie
cinnamon fower). From these six
there are fifty OF more combinations
made for the stimulation of the odors
of other flowers. Sweet pea is made
with jasmin and orange flowers;
hyacinth is counterfeited by jasmin and
tube-rose. But the resources of the
perfumer are by no means confined to
the pomades, as the scented fats are
termed. He uses many essential oils,
the principal of which are sandalwood,
bergamot, lemon, rosemary, neroli
(made from bitter orange fowers),
patchouh and the altar of roses. It is
very difficult to get the last named in
pure state, because its great cost
tempts to dishonest adulteration. Very
often rose-geranium oil is substituted
for it. Musk is another important in
gredient, entering as it does into almost
all perfumes except those which are
actually limitations of flower odors, or
as styled by perfumers, natural" as,
for instance, heEotrope, tuberose,
white rose and violet.

An Ocean Courier.

The news of disaster is not more try
ing and sickening to the heart than the
anxious uncertainty which exists when
expected tidings of those at sea do not
come. After the vessel is due, each day
intensifes the agony of the delay.
Sometimes the protracted waiting ends
in utter despair. Sometimes it is re-
warded only by news of tell-tale wreck
age, or by scrubbed message which
floats ashore on distant coast.
Captains are always glad to exchange
signals with each other, so that their
position may be known on certain
date, and no column of the newspaper
is turned to more anxiously than that
which contains the list of vessels
spoken"
The desirability of being able to
communicate with the shore is es-
pecially felt by those concerned in the
transatlantic steamers, which are oc-
casionally delayed by accidents to rud-
der or machinery. Either of these may
happen to q steamer and disable her
without leaving her in positive danger.
But she drifts about until she falls in
with another vessel powerful enough to
take her in tow. And in the meantime
her owners and the friends of those on
board are in narrowing uncertainty as
to her fate.
About two years ago a large ocean
steamer was not heard from for six
weeks, though she at last made port
with broken shaft, at the Azores
A proposition has been made to es-
tablish floating telegraph stations along
the route of the steamers, and this may
be done in the future, but at present
simpler means of communication are
being looked for.
A recent English invention is likely
to be of some use. 1t is called the
ocean courier" and is hollow spher-
old of red india-rubber, to hold mes
sages. It will travel rapidly before the
ightest wind, and can be distinguished
at distance of several miles.
Practical tests have been made which
show that this invention can be relied
upon on narrow seas; and even on the
Atlantic, if several of the "couriers"
were dispatched from disabled steam
er, carrying information of her posi-
ton, one of them would probably reach
within few days another steamer,
which could help her into port

Length of Hair.

1t has been ascertained that the ordi.
nary length of the hair, as shown by
the measurement in women, ranges be-
tween twenty and thirty-six inches, and
its weight from six to eight ounces.
However, if the hair is closely shaved
it becomes persistent, and also increases
in bulk and strength. The hair grows
at the rate of one line and half per
week, or six and half inches per year,
being twenty-six feet, if we live to be
eighty. The shape of small hairs is
cylindrical, and more or less oval for
long hairs. The hairs of the head are
never cylindrical, and those of the
beard and eyebrows are somewhat oval.
When left to their natural growth the
end or tip is always conical and pointed.
The surface of the scalp presents about
100 superficial inches. and the number
OF hairs on the entire head amounts to
80, 900 in thin head of hair, but in
thick head of hair the amount is much
greater, for many of the pores give pas
sages to two hairs. At its lower end
the halr-tube terminates in cul de sac.
and this portion of its cavity is filed
by an accumulation of freshly-forrned
cells and granules, which constitute the
root of the hair; above this point the
little mass of cells separate into two
parts; a central part of q cylindrical
figure, which is the newly-formed hair,
and peripheral layer, which incloses
the former and is continuous with and
is the sheath of the scarf-skin which
lines the tube.-Brookly11 Eagle.

Vampire Bats of RraziI.

Probably no part of Brazil is more
afflicted than portion of the provin &c
of Bahia with the scourge of vampires.
Whole herds of cattle are sometimes
destroyed by this venomous bat.
It was long matter of conjecture
how the animal accomplished this insid-
ious and deadly work; but scientific
men have now decided that the tongue.
which is capable of considerable extern
sion, is furnished at its extremity with
a number of pipili@, which are so ar
ranged as to form an organ of suction.
the lips having also tubercles symmet-
rically arranged. Fastening themselves
upon cattle, these dreadful animals can
draw the blood from their victims. The
wound. made probable from the small
needle-ike teeth, is a fine round hole.
the bleeding from which isvery difficult
to stop.
1t is said that the wings of this dead
ly bat fly around during the operation
of wounding and drawing blood, with
great velocity, thus tanning the victim
and lulling while the terrible work is in
progress.
Some of the creatures measure two
feet between the tips of their wings.
and they are often found in great num-
bers in deserted dwellings, in the out
skirts of the city.
The negroes and Indians especially
dread them, and there are numerous
superstitions among the natives regard
ing them.
