Among the fruits until recently very
seldom seen in the San Francisco mar.
ket Is the mammee. sapote, shipment of
which was received by Sresovich & Gray
by the last steamer from Acapulco. It
is a pear-shaped or conical fruit, about
four inches long and two and half in
diameter at the largest part. The skin
or shell is rough and brittle, of brown
color and filed with dark, yellow,
sweet pulp, surrounding one or two very
large. pointed seeds. 1t is native Of
the West Indies and surrounding coasts,
and Is favorite in the gardens Of trop.

fruit known as the mammee, or mammee
apple, entirely different from this, but
too perishable to be brought to the Cali.

One OF BelfOrd's Stories.

The best Of the Bedford stories is cur
rent this week Bedford is red head
ed. red bearded, red-nosed congress
man who has represented the great
state of Colorado all alone for years
in the lower house Of congress. He
is rough and-ready wit of the wild
western variety. with a high toned
voice, a large and varied vocabulary,
and some very remarkable gestures.
Like every congressman, he thirsts for
fame. He knows good mines, good
farms and good liquor when he sees
them, holds his own at the bar, and
in politics represents his state with
commendable fidelity He tells a
anecdote and bad story occasionally,
and reads Latin and Greek like an
old time professor. He was once
counsel for the defendant in a Denver
case in which Secretary Teller's broth
er was counsel for the plaintiff. The
case was an interesting one, and both
we're excited. Bedford was rather per-
sonal III his reply to Teller's opening
speech. He made the jury and the
audience laugh at some Of Teller's lit
tie peculiarities. Teller said nothing.
When he came to close, however, he
devoted few minutes especially to
Belford. Gentlemen OF the jury, +"
he said, my brother here, Mr.. Bel
ford, has been seriously concerned on
the subject of religion. 1t has cost
him many wakeful nights He has
thought Of it, talked OF it, read of it.
The othsr day he carried his fears and
hopes to an old Baptist minister, his
lifelong friend. After long CONVEX
sation his friend said to him that he
seemed to be in a very hopeful state.
SO well advanced was he that the
good old man thought him worthy of
baptism. That is the first ceremony
upon admission to your church, is it
notP asked Bedford. Yes, said the
venerable clergyman. And how will
it be administered asked Belford.
AS is usual in our church, said his
friend. by immersion. Then, said
Belford very sorrowfully, i must
stav outside; / could not consent to
disappear so long from public view. "
Bedford had to join in the loudest
lau0h of that daY.

THE TERRIBLE WORK
of ruin and disaster spread in every

hand, structures torn from their foun-

to leave thousands homeless and in
despair. No pen can measure the bit
ter anguish nor words the mental az
ony and physical suffering OF these
unfortunate victims. The work of re-
lief IN this city goes grandly on, the
exdendlture of money and labor be-
ing freel Y made to prevent even the
least worthy from suffering, while the
neighboring cities of Newport and
Covington and the villages bordering
are eXerting every means to alleviate
the suffering.
The signal flag denoting cold wealth
er tioated from the Signal Office to-
day for the third time since the flood
began While cold weather would
doubtless hasten the subsistence of the
water, it would cause incalculable
suffering among the homeless people.
The thousands encamped on the hills
and imprisoned in the upper stories of
their houses IRE already suffering in

To Loosen Rusty Bolts.


To remove bolts that have rusted in,
without breaking them, the most
eGectual remedy known is the liberal
application OF petroleum. Care must
be taken that the petroleum reaches
the rusty parts, and sometimes must
be allowed a chance to penetrate be
meath and soften the layer of rust be
fore the attempt to remove the bolt is
made Bolts and stays on which the
nut is fixed with rust are broken off
through impotence. In most cases a
small funnel built around stud or
bolt-end ON the nut with little clay
and partly filed with any Of the
searching petroleum oils, and left for
few hours, will enable the bolt on
nut to be removed.

Fashionable FemaIe Tipping.

New Qfh IOst-
We regret to learn that there is a
decided increase IN the quantity of
wine drank by women in this city,
and that tipping is common among
the gentler sex in uptown restaur-
ants. Ladies could scarcely adopt a
worse custom. Tipping colors the
nose, weakens the nerves, and is like
" to lead to an inebriates home. The
ladies should stick to cocoa.

HELP FOR THE SUFFERERS.
Measures for the relief OF the suffer

gy at Indianapolis. The board OF
trade committee has about 5000 at
its disposal, and the funds will be
rapidly augmented. The stea mer
Little Sandy has been chartered at
Madison, and will be loaded with 20, !
600 pounds of provisions and sent up
the river Friday, leaving them wher-
ever needed. A large steamer will
also be chartered for similar service
ON the lower river. A boat will also
be loaded at Madison, and a train load
of provisions will be sent from Indian
apolis Saturday morning. A steamer
will leave Madison for the scene of
distress Saturday evening.
AT COLUMBUS.
Both branches of the legislature
passed bill to-day appropriating
$500, GOO 10 the Ohio River sufferers.
The members sent a purse of $3.50 to

were passed authorizing the river

Up to this time, great as is the dan
ger, there has been no great distress.
The cry of distress, however, is begin
ming to grow louder. Manufactures
are stopping and men are thrown out
of employment. In Newport It is
estimated that from 5000 to G,OOO peo-
pie are homeless and their supplies
were exhausted at noon. Many viii
90 without supper tonight because
the supplies of the Relief Committee
are exhausted. The relief work IN
Cincinnati is beginning to press.

fourths of it to the house-tops. All
of themerchants lose heavily from in
undated stock. One half of our
citizens lose all their household goods
The court house, school buildings,
and many of the churches that have
second tstories, are sheltreing one
half the people. The balance are
scattered around in attics and in tue
upper parts of tall factories. The
horses and cattle have all been
rescued, and are stabbed on huge deck
barges that are moored in the streets,
in the center of the city. One hun
dred and twenty dwelling-houses have
been carried out into the river, and
over 500 more have been swept from
their sites and piled in indescribable
wreck against obstruction.
WHEELING.
The work of relieving the suffering
progresses favorably, but still there
is great need. The home fund for re-
lief has reached $25, 600 in cash and
as much in goods, but this and dona-
lions from abroad disappear as fast as
received. Among the contributions re
ceived are; John w. Garrett, Balti-
more, $500; S. j. Tilden, New York,
$3.50; James Keene, New York, $3.50
Wheeling and Belmont Bridge Com
pany, $1,000; Charleston, w. Va,
Town Council, $500. The Masons
desiring to contribute can send drafts
to the Masonic Relief Committee,
VIM. Hastings, chairman. The State
Fair Association loses $50, 900. 1t was
in its infancy and already heavily in
debt, and this blow ruins it. There
will be no fair in September.

have fallen since the flood, and others
are being torn down to keep them

The following message has been re-
ceived from Governor Porter, who is
at Lawrenceburg THE condition Of
Lawrenceburg is pitIable in the ex-
IRENE. More houses have been re
moved from their foundations than
last year. The relief should have ref

enabling the poor people to replace
and repair their houses.

are destitute. Hundreds Of buildings
have been washed away, and We are
