farmers and stock growers a chance to secure the

willing to hang up purse of 5000; the stablemen
have expressed willingness to make another. and
the saloon say they will make the third. The
citizens of Oroville can we'll afford to make the

Highest Premium at the State Fair of California
the only Fair the Pacific Coast at which any
two double thread Sewing Machines were exhibited
in competition in 1865


THE FLORENCE received the only premium
awarded, by the Mechanics Institute of San Fran
cisco. in 1854 and 1865 to any Sewing Machine Co.
or Agent. The claim of competitor to medal
is without any foundation whatever.


Wherever the FLORENCE has been brought in
competition with other Sewing Machines it has al
ways been declared the best. 1t is the most simple
the most substantial the most efficient and its
use is easily learned. Every Machine sold is guar
anteed in the full sens of the word.

CONSCIENTIOUS ScRUPLEs.-"The managers of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company says the
San Francisco Spirit Of the Times. refuse to car
~ the mails and run trains for passengers on Sun
day account of conscientious scruples, but they
run excursion trains on the same day, up and down
the road and the unwary passenger who is detect ed
without excursion ticket is robbed by the orders
OF the company of three dollars; the reason being
that passengers have no right to ride on Sunday,
but excursonists have. What swindling and bal

people against the infamous impositions of the

We are often asked, "what is gossipl'


We answer, in a general way, that it is
talking of persons rather than things
Nothing shows the paucity of ideas more
than this talking about the affairs of your
neighbors. 1t is not only malicious peo-
pie who originate scandal, it is narrow
minded people, ignorant people, stupid
people. Persons of culture and intelli-
gence are not so hard run for topics of con-
versation. They can usually find some
thing to say about art literature, fashion OIL
society. The moment people begin tc
talk of their neighbors-of persons rather
than things-they are apt to degenerate
into scandal; for where one speaks of the
virtues of an acquaintance, a dozen ex-
patiate on his or her shortcomings. And
this brings us to speak of real culture, OF
what we consider to be such, at least. A
cultivated person, in the highest sense OF
the term, is not merely one who can talk
Of books, pictures, and other elevated sub
ieets of human interest. To be thorough
ly cultivated, the heart, as well as the in
teleet, should be refined and enlarged
Sometimes we see women who, without
education, yet having been born amiable,
are not guilty of gossip. Again, we see
women, not naturally amiable, whom ed
ucation has taught to talk of things, not
of persons. The perfect woman, in this
respect, is one who is both amiable and
educated. But education does not always
elevate people above the regions of gos-
sip. A really bad heart is always mali
cious. The best advice we can give is the
homely old adage: "Mind your own busi-
ness" Very few of us ever know the
whole truth about any thing concerning a
neighbor; and to speak of his or her con-
duct is usually to run the risk of being
unjust. Much less should we talk of the
motives of others. Very few of us know
our own motives, and to venture on dis
cussing a neighbor's motive is always i'm
pertinence, and often a real crime.

Sick headache is sickness at the stom-
ach, tendency to vomit combined with
pain in some parts of the head, generally
in the left side. It is caused by there be-
ing too much bile in the system, from the
fact that this bile is manufactured too rap
idly, or is not worked out of the system
fast enough by steady, active exercise
Hence sedentary persons, those who do
not walk about great deal, but are seat
ed in the house nearly all the time, are
almost exclusively the victims of this dis
tressing malady. 1t usually begins soon
after waking up in the morning, and lasts
a day or more. There are very many
causes; the most frequent is, the derange-
ment of the stomach by late and hearty
.suppers; by eating too soon after regu-
lar meal-tive hours should at least inter
eating much of any favorite dish
eating without an appetite; forcing food
eating after one is conscious of having
enough; something which the stomach
can not digest, or sour stomach. Any OF
these things may induce headache of the
most distressing character in an hour. 1t
is caused by indulgence in spirituous liq-
uors. When person has sick headache,
there is no appetite; the very sight of food
lis hateful; the tongue is furred, the feet
and hands are cold, and there is a feeling
of universal discomfort, with an utter in
disposition to do any thing whatever. A
glass of warm water, into which has been
rapidly stirred heaping teaspoonful each
of salt and kitchen mustard, by causing
instaneous vomiting, empties the stomach
of the bile or undigested sour food, and
a grateful relief is often experienced on
the spot; and rest, with few hours Of
sound refreshing sleep, completes the cure,
especially if the principal part of the next
day or two is spent in mental diversion
and outdoor activities, not eating an atom
of food, but drinking of cold water and
hot teas until you feel as if piece of cold
bread"and butter would really taste good.
Nine times in ten the cause of sick head
ache is the fact that the stomach is not
able to digest the food last introduced in
to it, either from its having been unsuita-
bic or excessive in quantity. When the
stomach is weak, aspoonful of the mildest
plainest food will cause an attack of sick
headache, when ten times the amount
might have been taken in health, not only
with impunity, but with positive advan-
tage.


A diet of cold bread and butter, and
ripe fruits and berries, with moderate
continuous exercise in the open air, sufic-
lent to keep up very gentle perspiration,
would, of themselves, cure almost every
case within thirty-six hours. Two table
spoonsful of pulyerised charcoal, stirred in
half a glass of water, drank, generally
gives relief

TREATMENT OF ORCHARD GROUNDS.


There must be no water IN an orchard
soil. Ifmoist it must be thoroughly and
deeply drained. This is absolute.


The ground should be as porous and
mellow as possible; even if leachy some
Whist, no harm is done.


1t is well to stir the ground lively the
first few years after the orchard is Set
Experience has proved that hoed crops
are excellent After that, clover or grass,
or grain may be grown, especially if the
soil is rich-but more especially if deep
and rich.


Clover is probably better than anything
that can be put in an orchard, as it is
known that the long roots carry manurial
substance to the under-soil, and the stem
shades the ground.


A heavy sod, however, should not be
permitted, as it prevents the free access of
air to the ground, which, in the case of
deeply penetrating roots, as of trees, needs
all the air it can get. Plough, therefore,
every third or fourth year, and re-seed to
clover

Here is nice legal point to be decided
are they married or not married. A
London paper says:


"While couple were being married in
Preston Church the other morning, the
mother of the young lady, who was under
age, rushed into the church and forbade
the wedding. The officiating minister at
once stopped the service, and, though
the bridegroom had pronounced the words,
"With this ring thee wed" declared that
no legal marriage had taken place. Since
then, however, the matter had been dis
cussed at meeting of the clergy, and the
unanimous decision they arrived at was
that the couple had been properly and
lawfully married according to the rites of
the Church. The point is very ticklish
one, and%ill probably have to be settled
in the law courts"

A Western farmer says he makes it a
rule that whenever cattle are made to pass
a fence, whether through bars or a "slip-
gap" to leave one rail for them to pass un-
der. This gives them downward ten
dency, and lessons their inclination to jump
or look upward, as they are sure to do
when lazy attendant throws down part
of the rails, and makes them vault the
rest. Cattle may be able to go over any
fence, by the careful training they often
get for this end, and performed as follows:
First, starye them, or give them poor feed,
which will make them light and restless.
As soon as they go over the lowest part of
the fence after better provender, make
them jump back again, and put on one
more rail, saying, 81 guess that will keep
'em out" Next day repeat the process,
adding another rail; in a short time they
will take care of themselves, and harvest
the crops without charge.-zacter's Bur

A rather aged lady who has recently
married a young and rather fast man, was
quitting him at the station when he was en-

embrace of the most loving character, she

married" To which he replied: ''Dear
Caroline, l viii make a memorandum of
