at a distillery and rose field. In front OF
long shed six large caldrons stood over
the brazier. and into these vessels about
100 pounds worth of roses were put
with warm water. The iron tubes
through which the vapor escapes passed
through long tin receptacle shaped like
trough, which was filled with cold
water, and below which large glass bot
ties stood to receive the first distillation
There Installations are necessary before
the oil OF the rose appears. We were
shown a small bottle into which the es-
sence just distilled had been poured. The
color is rich gold, and the smell is
strong, subtle, and penetrating, pleasant
for the first instant, but soon producing
a sense Of giddiness and oppression in
the head. 1t affects every thing near 1t,
and the perfume clings tenaciously even
in open air.
The proprietors are secured from be-
ing cheated, as the peasants cannot en-
dure the perfume they themselves manu-
facture, and make no use OF it whatever.

Out of Work and What 1t Costs.

To the Editor of the Press:
Mr.. Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, places
the present numb Der of unemployed work
men in the United States at 3, 000, 600 and
it means an enormous loss to them as
well as to the nation. 1t is a larger
number than were employed in all the
manufacturing establishments in the
United States in 1880, classified into So, :
207 manufactures and 1857, 600 work
men. 1t is also a larger number than
was calle d for by the government during
the war, 1861 to 1865. These 5000, 900 out
of employment at an average earning
capacity of 81. so per day would earn
81, $780, 900 per day, and allowing 300
working days in the year it would
amount to the enormous sum of 81, $780,
600, 600, or more than enough to pay the
national debt and leave a surplus. 1t is
more than eight times the amount paid
for pensions. 1t is nearly double the
revenue collected during the war 1861 to
1865. Nearly double the amount of taxes.
National, State, county land municipal,
assessed and collected in the United
States in 1880. 1t is more than six times
the amount collected from duties on i'm
ports during the past year. 1t is more
than three times the value of all the
goods imported on which a duty was
collected, or twice the amount including
the duties of all the GOODS imported into
the United States for the last year. ex-
cept those on the free list. If the above
will show the cost for one year to
those out of employment what must be
the cost to the entire country in reduc-
tions of earnings to those now employed,

CALIFORNIA; GOLD PRODUCT.
Fabulous Contributions from a Single
State 20 the Wealth of the World.

Expert miners and prospectors predict
that the new South African ,gold fields,
of which the wonderful city of Johann
isberg Is the commercial centre, will,
W hen fully developed, prove to be the
richest ever discovered. The character
and extent of the deposits in that terri
tory, says the New York Herald, GER
tainly warrant the expectation that fur
ther operations will place it among the
most famous mining regions in history
its output already exceeding that of any
other district OF similar geographical
are with the single exception of Cali
I fornia
1t is to California, indeed, that histori-
ans must turn for the standard with
which to ascertain the comparative rich
ness of oil other gold 1ields The record
of that State in the yield of the precious
metal stands without parallel in the his
tory of mankind. No other territory
ever developed gold deposits SO extern
sive, so rich, or SO enduring, nor has
ever witnessed profitable mining opera
tions extending over such long periods
of time
The gold produced in California since
1850 exceeds 81, ESQ, 600, 600 and the yield at
present amounts to about S13,OO0O00 a
year, or perhaps s7,ooO,0O0 more than
that of any other state The output has
decreased somewhat III. recent years, but
the decline is due not to airy general ex-
haustion Of the territory, but to the sus-
pension of the hydraulic mines, which
OF themselves turned out something like
$40, 600, 600 annually
THESE figures set q high mark for
boomers OF the South African gold fields.
they represent a contrl button to the
wealth OF the world never equalled by
any similar area Of territory on the face
of the earth. And California. notwith-
standing the diversion of vast sums of
her energy and capital to prof table
mining operations for other minerals, is
still turning out more than one-third of
all the gold produced in the United
States. -.
