New YORK, May 16.-The Tri-
bune's Washington special says: II
is understood that Attorney Gen
eral Garland has recommended the
appointment as Assistant Attorney
General for the Interior Depart
ment of Zachary Montgomery. 1t
is said Montgomery is an old and
intimate personal friend of the At
torney-General, who places high
estimate upon his legal abilities.
1t is also said that at the close Of
the war Montgomery went to Mex
leo in company with other men,
who thought it would be unendur-
able for them to live under the flag
Of the United States, and that since
he became a resident of California
he has achieved considerable no
toriety by his virulent attacks upon
the free-school system, which he
seems to regard with adherence.

The Consul to Mavre.

NEW York, May 16.-The World
says: The appointment of Dufais,
Consul to Havre. does not give sat
isfaction to the residents. He is of
German parentage. The Courier
ees Etats Unis, the official organ of
the French residents, is opposed to
the appointment "There are many
Americans" said the editor yester-
day, who would please our country
men better, or even an Irishman

to send a German to France when

GOVERNMENT FLOUR.


IL il Droaxht From Califsrsis
t. supply B'ert MeDsraitt.
Yesterday 6fty-four 1OO-pou1d
| sacks of -four arrived here from
California to supply the troops a
Fort McDernitt. This looks like
taking Goals to New Castle as the
saying is. There are three Touring
mills in this county, each and all Of
which manufacture what persons
who ought to know as much about
the matter - army officers, say is
first-class -four, equal in every re-
spect to the California article. Not
outstanding this, and the fact that
Nevada farmers ship wheat to Cal
ifornia, the -four used by Uncle
Sans men at Fort McDermitt
must be brought from California,
though the freight from San Fran
cisco to the Post amounts to fully
as much as Paradise Valley -four
would cost delivered there.
Occasionally some epuleted of
fcer, with a desire to show his au-
thority and acquire some credit for
economy, will report upon the great
cost of maintaining posts on the
frontier; and yet they permit -four
to be carrie. from San Francisco to
Fort McDermitt every year, at
about double the cost of -four pro
duced in the county, and which
people along the railroad, who have
tried both, pronounce equal in
every respect to the best California
-four.
There must be something wrong.
Perhaps the Government Inspec.
tor sees California -four through
golden spectacles Silver State.

In a chat with an APPEAL reporte
yesterday he remarked
Perhaps ysu would like to know
something about high-priceG farm
products. There is a new variet.
Of cats, called the Clydesdale. A
measured bushel weighs ffty-on'
pounds. While they will not retair
their full weight in this country
they double the market value of thu
product Of an oat field. The enter
prising farmer pays IS a bushel fol
his seed. There is the new Fife
spring wheat, which sells for g q
bushel, and the new styles Of field
corn known as Chester Mammoth
snd Golden Dent sell for about the
same.
In the matter Of garden seeds
the farmer must pay prices that
make him saueal. Last year q
Newark man brought out what is
known as Henderson's white plume
celery. Unlike common celery it
does net need to be- banked up to
whiten the leaves, aud, what is
more, these leaves are as much like
ostrich feathers as anything you
can imagine. During the Ameri-
can Institute Fair the plants on ex-
hibiticn were frequently torn to
pieces by guests who used the
leaves for buttonhole bouquets
The seeds man who is introducing
The plant paid $3.50 for . small
truck load of the plants, and he
low sells the seed at $40 a pound.
A new French bean is selling at
- cents a quart. The Few Eclipse
,eet seed sells for $3.50 a pound,
While the seed of the new lettuce
:al!ed the Oak Leaf sells for 81 an
'unce. Even new variety of par
ley is high priced, the seed of the
lyle called Emerald selling for 81
pound.
You sarcastically mentioned tho
quash. That was because you
lidn't know all about squashes.
here was a specimen of new
quash on exhibition in this town
ast fall for several weeks that
1eighed 22S pounds. Its favor was
8 excellent as its size was snor-
nous. The seeds obtained from
his big squash sell for 3 cents
piece or 8 an ounce.
But when you want to find farm |
roducts that are really worth their |
eight in gold you must take the
over seeds raised by the farmers
life. This year there are = great
ariety of new flowers. It would
ewilder you to name them. These

NEW York, May 16.-Our Legis-

is receiving more than the usual
amount of general abuse visited
upon a retiring New York Legisla-
ture. 1t has provided for the US
ual junketing party to sit in this
city during the summer as an In
vestlgating Committee. Senator
Gibbs, who introduced the measure,
at the instigation of Jenny O'Brien,
Barry Biglin and other so-called
Republican leaders, gave as one
reason for the investigation pro-
posed, that the total expense of con-
Quoting our city and county Govern
nent during recent years has been
as large in one year as $4O,640, 1877,
or $50 rs per capita. The Times
refutes this. but shows that our
average annual expenditure is 500
OOO, OGO, and that it has reached
$36, $50, 600, in one year, Of which
only q little more than one-half is
for the actual administration of
Government, or about $12 per
