GRAINS OF GOLD.
ouse showeth the owner.

The house showeth the owner.
Calamity is mans true touchstone.
By others faults correct your own.
They most assume who know the least.
Custom is the plague of wise men and
the idol of fools.
Stagnation is something worse than
death, it is corruption also.
To live is not to live for ones self
alone; let US help one another.
Let US learn upon earth those things
which can call US to heaven.
What is resignation? 1t is putting God
between ones self and ones grief.
In diving to the bottom of pleasures
we bring up more gravel than pearls.
Learning without thought is labor lost;
thought without learning is perilous.
Idleness is the stupidity of the body,
and stupidity the idleness of the mind.
We must labor increasingly to render
our piety reasonable, and our reason
pious.
Minds of moderate caliber ordinarily
condemn everything which IS beyond
their range.
A man never outlives his conscience,
and that, for this cause only, he cannot
outlive himself
1t is not the quantity of the meat, but
the cheerfulness of the guests, which
makes the feast.
Do not allow idleness to deceive you;
for, while you give him to-day he steals
tomorrow from you.
Nothing is SO good for an ignorant
man as silence; and if he was sensible
of this he would not be ignorant.
We should not so much esteem our
poverty crime, were it not that the
world treats it SO much as a crime.
Demand not that events should hap
hen as you wish; but wish them to hap
pen as they do happen, and you will go
on well.
True piety hath in it nothing weak,
nothing sad, nothing constrained. 1t
enlarges the heart; it is simple, free, and
and attractive.
Speech is as pump, by which we rise
and pour out the water from the great
lake of thought, whittier it flows back
again.

JAMES C. FLOOD, one of the bonanza
millionaires of California, died on the
21st inst. at Heidelberg, Germany, Mr..
Flood was born in New York. He went
to California in 1849, making the long
journey around Cape Horn. Hard work
and disappointments followed until 1854,
when he and O'Brien opened liquor sa-
loon and sort of exchange. In 1862
these men made their first investment in
the Comstock Lode, and in 1869 John
W. Mackey and James c. Fair joined
them. Mr.. Flood projected the Nevada
Bank. 1t was just previous to this time
that he made that heavy call of the Cal
ifornia Bank which led to its suspension,
and incidentally to the suicide of W. c.
Ralston. Mr.. Floods wealth is estima-
ted at s3O,OOO,OOO.

LETTUCE IN HOT BED.

SOwlettuce in the open ground as early
as possible, or, if you have plants from
fall sowing, transplant these to a rich soil,
giving plenty of room and hoe WE'LL
Where hot beds are at hand, let the let
tuce be started quite early. Give but lit
tie heat and plenty of water and air on
fine days. 1t is good plan to SOW a
couple of rows thick in the front of the
frame, to be used when young. Let the
plants in the rest of the bed be about four
inches apart. As lettuce runs up to seed
very early in the season. it is difficult to
find a good head, in many gardens, after
warm weather. The remedy is to plant
for late use in cool. partially shaded
place, in rich soil. Water freely.
Lettuce is divided into two classes: the
cabbage, with round head and spreading
leaves, and the COS, with long head and
erect narrow leaves. Cabbage varieties
are the most tender and buttery, and the
cos the most crisp and refreshing. The
cabbage form has subdivision called
curled, from the form of its leaves. Wick
says of the New Premium" cabbage let
tuce that it is the best variety he has ever
grown. Other cabbage sorts recommend
ed by him are Imperial White Cabbage" !"
a good market kind; "All the Year
Round and EARLY Tennis Ball." the lat
ter being one of the earliest of the early
heading varieties. paris White Cos" is
claSSed among the best of the cos vari-
eties.

Al. FAssErT. Commissioner of l.

4. D. FASSETT, Commissioner of La
Dor Statistics for Ohio, filed his report
with the Governor on the 18th. He says
Ohio has Is or 20 established trusts, with
Others in various stages of formation
OF these the Standard Oil Company is
the largest. The trust buys up transpor-
tation as a merchant would goods. In Il
months the Standard has drawn on re-
bates from the Baltimore and Ohio, Erie,
New York Central, and Pennsylvania the
enormous sum of S10,151,218.
The report then treats of the coal COM
bine and says that the road entering the
Hooking Valley had refused to support
operators outside the coal pool, or to fur
nish them cars for transportation, which
accounts for the high price of coal. The
price now, brought about by the combi-
nations of railroads, is as high as before
they were built.

tion in the country.
