SPECIAL MENTION.

We are glad to give favorable notice to
1t is a very creditable display, and is well
calculated to call attention to a very meri-
torious artice-their lie Roi des Savons, or
King of Soaps. 1t must be quite satis-
factory to the p7oprietors TO receive so
many words of hearty commentator from
the ladies using this soap who do not rub
or who do not boil their clothes. There
really seems to be no necessity for any great
outlay Of strength to do the family wash
ing We were very much interested in the
conversation of lady who, being sick on
wash-day, intrusted her family washing to
her 10-year-old child, and which was sue
cessfully and easily done by using the
King of Soaps. We advise every woman
to try it, 1t is certainly most remarkable
laundry soap.

factures and deals in vitrifed iron-stone
sewer pipe, water and chimney pipe, drain
tile, fire brick, stoneware, flower pots, etc.
SPLENDID LIGHT.
1t is the universal opinion that the Pa
vilion was never before so well lighted.
This is mainly due to the brilliant electric
light of the Vandepoele system, under the
care Of g. II. Condict, electrician, of San
Francisco, who is running forty-fiye arc
lamps on the circuit. The softness and
steadiness as well as brilliancy of the light
are apparent to all.
REMARKABLE SAMPLES OF CORN.
To the farmer, theexhibit Of King Phillip
corn, exhibited on the east side of the hor-
ticuliurai department. is one of the most
interesting to be seen at the fair. This IS
not generally regarded as variety OF held
corn that grows to large stalks. but III thls
instance il has reached the very wholesome
hight of sixteen feet, and as II trying 10
compete with an Eastern yarn as TO the
wonders of California productions, appears
with ten ears growing upon single stock.
It's quite possible thai there arc other fields
or other lands that can equal or excel this
disDIav OF growth, but if so. the RECORD
UnIoy wonld be pleased to be notified
of the facts. There are frequently
corn growtbs of even greater hight,
but not of this variety of corn. The pres
ent specimens were grown by J. f. Silva
on ranch near Nicolans, which belongs
