The Manufacture OF HairplnS.

For years the English and French con-
troIled the manufacture of hairpins, and
1t is only within the last twenty years
that the goods have been produced i'll this
country to any extent. The machinery used
is Of delicate and intricate character,
as the prices at which pins are sold ncces-
states the most rapid and cheapest pro.
cess, which can only be secured by auto
matte machines. The wire is made eX-
presseiy for the purpose and put up i'll
large coils, which are placed OH reels, and
the end of the wire isplaced in IL clamp
which carries it to the machines while
Strengthening it; from there it runs in
another machine, which cuts, bends, and,
by a delicate and instantaneous process,
sharpens the points. Running at full
speed, these machines will turn out l21
hairpins every minute. To economize it
is necessary to keep them working night
and day.
The difficult part of the work is the
ena:nc.iag, which IS doHe b. dipping in 4
preparation and baking in IN oven.- Here

His anstaohe Saved Him.

Most men consider a mustaehe a desir-
able belonging by way of ornament, and
young ladies Just dote upon the young
fellow sporting a handsome one. Medical
men are said to indorse the mustache as a
health-improver, claiming that it serves as
sort OF filter, preventing heavy dust from
entering the nostrils, and finding lis way
INTO the bronchial passages and lungs. a
Sacramento man is the first. however. to
owe his life directly to the hirsute append
age and ornament. Those who have had
occasion TO pass that way will remember
that near the winery, on the front levee,
below street, there is about a block from
which so much soil was excavated wears
ago for leyee building purposes, that a big
hole was left, which at this season of the
year Is full of water. There is a narrow
roadway crossing this section, leading from
the street to the winery. A day or two ago
man employed at one of the breweries
had occasion 10 cross this road on his way
to the winery, but, as he did not pay close
attention to his driving, his horse when
about halfway over, slipped from the side
of the embankment and rolled into the
water, which is quite deep. The driver,
who had saved himself by jumping went
to the rescue of the animal, and was about
to cut the harness. when the horse in his
struggles threw him into the pond A man
named Brophy, employed at the gas works,
had meanwhile observed the trouble. and
fastened to the spot to help save the horse.
He caught the animal by the bride and
managed to keep his head above water,
supposing the driver would have no diff
Guilty in getting out; but when he looked
around for him he had disappeared beneath
the surface, being unable TO swim Brophy
watched, and when he reappeared made a
grab at him, caught him by his long mus
tache, and towed him ashore Other men
who had arrived lent their assistance, and
the horse was also rescued.

Local Grand Army Excursion Rates.

L. ii. Goodman, General Passenger and
Ticket Agent of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, states, in answer to many inquiries
relative to special rates incident to the Ma
tiopal encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic to be held in San Francisco
commencing Tuesday, August Cd, that ex-
cursion tickets will be sold from local
points west of Ogden (included), and west
of Ell Paso (included) 10 San Francisco and
return at onehalf fullslocal ticket rats, or
at one tariff fare for the round trip Such
tickets will only be sold Tor the use of mem
bers of the Grand Army and Woman's Re-
lief Corps, including families and female
relatives. Persons belonging to families
and female relatives must be accompanied
and identified by members of one of the
organizations named. Members must
present certificates of membership
signed by the Adjutant or commander
OF the Post to which they belong.
Tickets will be placed on sale fifteen DAYS
prior to the date of the opening of the En-
campment, and must be used through TO
San francisco before the date of such OPEN
ing Tickets must be used for return pas
sage within thirty days from the date of
the opening, and viii not be good for re-
turn passage previous to that date. Return
tickets will be extended thirty DAYS longer
on payment of SIS additional in San Fran
cisco. Stop-over privileges will be allowed
within the time limit or life of the G. A.R.
tickets in either direction but it must be
borne in mind that, westward these tickets
will not be good for passage after date set
for the commencement of the Encamp-
ment. Those purchasing such tickets and
coming west early will enjoy more COM
Portable trip, avoid the inconvenience of
the crowd that will wait until the latest
dates prior to the opening of the Encamp-
ment, and will secure longer time in Cali
fornia, giving opportunity to visit such To-
calities as they may desire, and greater en-
Joyment of stop-oyer privileges. Railroad
and steamship lines of the State and coast
have expressed the intention to make rea-
sonable reductions from local rates for in
dividual, party or special train excursion
lists during the Encampment period but,
as such rates will depend upon the nature
OF the tours, combining rail, water and
stage routes, it is impracticable to give them
in detail at present.

Agitation Over a Name.

EDS. REcoRD-USIoN One of your CORE
spondents facetiously crowds on all the
amendments that have been offered as a
designation for the Sacramento diyis-
ion of California. The traditionary
meaning attached to northern Cali
fornia misrepresents, and, in fact libels
that part of her semi-tropical climate !:
but your facetious correspondent, in pill
ing on all the uppers and lowers and
highers and centrals and citrus CALIFORNIA;
that have been suggested, still does not
meet our requirements, and fails to offer a
concise appellation that would have any
grammatical title to stick. The question
merits our best consideration. If, as long
as we retain northern California for the
Sacramento division, extending from Siski-
you to the Golden Gate, we cannot dispel
the false illusion it creates regarding our
climate-although even Redding is on the
same latitude as Naples and Madrid-then
new correct designation is absolutely re-
quired, and it is laid down for as by nature.
The Sacramento division and the San Joa-
quin division both converging to the Golden
Gate, our great river divisions at once afford
perhaps the only two designations that can
he correctly applied. Who seconds the
motion? A. L. GoDDARp.

Coloma, the two most important towns on
the Pacific coast, not excepting San Fran
cisco and Sacramento. These annual re-
unions are largely attended, old Ell Dorado
ans flock to them from all over the coast
and the pioneers. their children and grand
children meet upon plane of cordiality
and sociability that is not observable at
any other picnic. F. A. Hornblower, at
one time proprietor of the Golden Eagle

Milwaukee Lager Beer.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 15th.-The dis
ciples of the school of total abstinence may
perhaps take some comfort by perusing the
following table of statistics, from which it
appears that the aggregate amount of beer
sold by the Milwaukee brewers during the
year 1885 shows a considerable falling off
as compared with the sales of the next pre-
ceding year.
1t will be noticed, however, that the old
renowned Philip Best Brewing Company
has to record gain, and is still maintain
ing its proud prestige of being at the head
of the column, while the sales of its prin-
cipal competitor show a marked decrease
The figures are vouched for as correct in
every respect:

Dentelies and Homespuns.

The French word for lace is aentelle.
Hence, Dentelle Cloths are just what one would
imagine them to be from the name-light
open-work stufs in lace designs. They can be
had IN colors, including cream, and are not ex-
pensive Sixty-ive to ninety cents per yard
will get excellent qualities, although some SUI
perfne grades in robe patterns come at higher
prices. Speaking of new dress goods reminds
US OF Homespuns, which are nothing more or
less than revival of the ancient stufis of our
grandmohers. Coarse, rough and quite I'M
finished, these cloths are possessed of rugged
virtues which make them favortes with those
requiring strong and durable dresses for gen
eral house and street wear. They are said to
wear like IRON" and will make excellent
dresses for school girls and misses. Most of
the homespuns come in dull shades, but there
are some few exceptions. The prices range
from SO cents to S per yard. Those at IS
cents are particularly good.

Sergeant Barwick,s Report.

The rainfall at Sacramento during thl
twenry-four hours ending at o'clock lasi

last two weeks, and sometimes not deposit
more than one inch of rain but the wea-
ther will be cloudy, damp and drilling,
