L. o. Miller's appointment Kicks Up q
Lively Stir in Government Circles.
Copyright 1888. by Tie California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, January 27th.-A vigorous
fight viii be made against the confirmation
Of L. 0. Miller to be Register of the Land
Office at Visalia. Miller was the Demo
cratic candidate for State Surveyor General
in 1856, and was defeated by 5000 majority
by his Republican competitor. To-day Rep
resentative Vandever, in whose district the
Visalia Land Office is situated, called upon
the President and told him that Millers
defeat was not due TO the hostility of the
land -grabbers, as Cleveland had been led 10
suppose, but to the support of the land
ringsters, who were Miller's strongest
hackers, although Representative Thomp-
son ordered the nomination.
The President appeared greatly aston
ished to learn that Carr and Haggin own
about 1000 acres of land in the San
Joaquin valley, obtained under the Desert
Land Act, great part of which has not vet
been patented to them. That Hearst, who
is Haggin's partner, should indorse the ap-
pointment of a man, to be Register of the
Land Office at Visalia, who was reputed to
be influenced by the land rings in the
southern and central part of the State, did
not surprise General Vandever but he
urged that time be given before the CON-
mission was issued to Miller to obtain the
public sentiment of the people in the
Visalia District as to the propriety of his
appointment.
The President thanked Vandever for the
information he had given him, and asked
him to see Villas as to what he knew about
the appointment, without delay. This
Vandever did, and it is now believed that
immediate action will be taken upon
Miller's nomination before the Senate Com
mittee on Public Lands, to which it is re-
ferred.

l am sorry to see that Mrs Fawcett dep-
recates the engagement of ladies Of educa-
tlon rs dressmakers and milliners, and
speaks OF 1t as being detrimental to those
who have fewer educational advantages. I
myself would like to see dressmaking re-
garded not merely as learned profession,
but rs a fine art. To construct a costume
that viii be at once rational and beautiful
requires an accurate knowledge of the
principles Of proportion, thorough sense
OF color, and a quick appreciation of the
proper use OF materials, and the proper
qualities Of pattern and design The
health Of the ration depends verv largely
on its mode Of dress: the artistic feeling
of a nation should find expression in its
costume quite as much as in its archi-
lecture; and just as the upholster-
ing tradesman has had to give place
to the decorative artist, so the or
dinary miliiner, with her lack of taste
and her lack Of knowledge, her foolish
fashions and her lack of inventions, will
have to make way for the scientific and
artistic dress-designer. Indeed so far
from it being wise to discourage women of
education from taking up the profession of
dressmakers, 1t is exactly women of edu-
cation who are needed, and l am glad to
see in the new technical college for women
at Bedford, millinery and dress-making are
to be taught as part of the ordinary cur
riculum. There has also been Society of
Lady Dressmakers started in London, for
the purpose of teaching educated girls and
women, and the Scientific Dress Associ-

SIX AND HALF Tons OF DIAMONDS
Surely even Sinbad, the Sailor, never ven
tured to compute his diamonds by the ton.
Six and half tons of diamonds, valued at
about forty million pounds, are reported
to have been extracted from four African
mines alone in the course of the last few
years. The other great diamond field of
the world is India, also British posses
sion. Everybody knows that Amsterdam has
been the center of the diamond-cutting in
dustry of the world, and in former times
there was good reason for this, as in
London, at least, the industry was extinct.
But everybody does not probably know
that of late years efforts have been success
fully made to reintroduce diamond-eutting
in England, and that English cutters have
beaten the Dutch in several recent prize
competitions. Considering the enormous
value of the trade-the United States
alone, it is calculated, requires e3,O0O,000
worth Of cut diamonds per annum-care
should be taken that English diamonds
should be cut in England, and not be sent
either to Amsterdam or to Antwerp and
Paris, which have lately endeavored to
secnre a portion of the Dutch trade.-St.

A Democratic Scheme for Controlling tn
House by States.


House by States.
Copyright, 1885, BY he ifornia associated Press
WASHINGTON, January 27th.-The action
of the House Committee on Elections 10.
day, in the matter of the White Lowry con-
tested election case from the Twelfth In
diana District, is construed in some quar-
ters to mean determination on the part of
that committee to so adjust the several con-
tests that the Democrats shall have at least
one-half. and possibly majority. of the
representation by States in the House OF
Representatives.
In the event of new election in Indiana
and the choice of Democrat to take
Whites place. that State will have a ma
jority of Democratic Representatives. BY
unseating both FELTON, and Vandever, CALI
fornia will be transferred to the Democratic
column, thus tieing the States in the House,
and if a Democrat should be elected in
Michigan to succeed the late Representative
Moffatt, that State would be Democratic.
| The importance of the Democrats con-
| trolling a majority of the States in Con-
gress is seen by the fact that if an election
| for President and Vice President this wear
should not be decided by the vote of the
| people, the House would decide the result
by the vote of delegations by States.

Could be Bluff or Gallant.

The truth probably is, says an English
paper, that DR.. Samuel Johnson's manner
and speech toward ladies depended very
much, as is the case with most men, on the
temper he was in and on the character of
those with whom he was in company. For
instance, on one occasion there was very
shallow and talkatiye woman in the room,
of whom he took little notice.
"Why, doctor" she said, al believe you
prefer the company of men to that of
ladies'"
Madam" he replied, I" l am very fond
of the company Of ladies; / like their
beauty like their delicacy, and like
their silence"
''On another occasion he went to drink
tea and spend the evening at the house of
Sir Joshua Reynolds. Miss Reynolds, on
his entering the room, said:
"See, DR.. johnson, what preference /
give to your company, for l had an offer of
place in box at the oratorio to hear
Miss Linley; but / had rather sit with
you than hear Miss Linley sing"
"And /, madam" was his gallant reply,
would rather sit with you than sit upon
the throne"
He was not to be outdone even in a
passing compliment.

TANNING SHEEP PELTs.-We are asked
how to tan sheep pelt with the wool on.
1t is a question that frequently comes to
US, and it would be well if those who think
they will need it would preserve these d.
rections: Wash the pelt in warm water
and remove all fieshy matter from it. Then
clean the wool with soft soap and wash
thoroughly clean. When the pelt is per-
fectly free from all fatty and oily matter,
apply the following mixture to the flesh
side, viz; For each pelt take common salt
and ground alum, one-quarter pound each,
and one-half ounce of borax. Dissolve
the whole in one quart of hot water.
When sufficiently cool to bear the hand,
add rye meal to make it like thick paste.
Spread this mixture on the flesh side OF
the skin. Fold the pelt lengthwise and
let it remain two weeks in place that is
airy and shady. Now remove the paste,
wash the pelt and dry it, but before il is
dried, and when nearly so, scrape the flesh
side with crescent-shaped knife. The
more the pelt is worked, the softer it will
be- Western Rural
