How WATER GETS INTO Tiles just
lay twenty or thirty rods of tiles and mako
the joints as tight as possible, then let the
stream of water into the tiles and dam it
up at the lower end, and see how fast tho
water will flow out from the joints between
the tiles. Now, when the tiles are laid
in the ground, and they are surrounded
with water, the water will rush into the
tiles through the joints nearly or quite as
fast as the water in the other case would
rush out of them But perhaps you mean
to ask how the water in the land gets to
the underdrain. In sandy or gravelly
land it gradually soaks through the parti-
cles of soil for several rods on each side of
the drain. But % many people it is y
mystery how water can soak through te-
nacious clay three or four feet deep to tho
tiles.--Wet clay, as it dries, contracts,
and seams or pores are formed. You will
observe this on piece of wet clay land.
In the dry weather or summer it splits
open into cracks, not unfrequently an inch
wide. Well, when you put tiles into such
a soil, the water drains away for few in
ches on the bottom and sides of the ditch.
and as the land becomes dry it cracks open
and the water from the adjoining land
flows into these cracks, and through them
to the tiles As more land dries, more
cracks are formed, and SO on until the
whole soil, if the drains are sufficiently
numerous, becomes full of these small fis-
sures When these are once formed they
will always continue open, and water will
pass off rapidly y.--American 4gricultrist.

The leaves of the Elder bush will drive

Take the green boughs and strew them in
the places infested by the reaches, and in

At present writing, halkpast three
o'clock Friday morning, tie returns
from the State are too meagre to base
any opinion upon. So far as received,
the indications are that the Democratic
State ticket has made large and i'm
portant gains. Wood county does
splendidly, giving lis a probable majority
Of one hundred, as against one hundred
and sixty-four Republican majority two
years ago, thus showing a gain of 264
in that county alone. This and the
few scattering dispatches we have
received from other portions OF
the District indicate the almost certain
election OF DAVIS 90 Congress.


In this county, the Democratic State
ticket will probably have a majority of
nearly three hundred, and the Demo
cratic county ticket is elected, with the
possible exception OF Mr.. SHALLcRoss.
The indications are that BRowN, Re
publican, for Sheriff, will have a small
majority, but we do not yet give up the
chance of SHALLCRoss receiving ma
ori,v on the official count


The ticket was very long and owing to
vast deal of scratching on the local
ticket, the count has been unusually
tedious. This has been the case gen
orally throughout the State and, we
suppose, accounts for the tardlness OF
the returns. We feel quite hopeful Of
the result in the First Congressional
District as well as in the State at large
and so long as the returns show such
substantial gains as those already re-
ccived, we can afford to wait.


Upon the result of our local ticket in
Ohio county, we reserve comment until
full returns are at hand.

The telegraph reports that the President
has appointed John s. Follansbee Register
and Charles Mcdonald Receiver of the
Shasta Land Office. These appointments
were made at the request OF the leading
Republicans of the new District, and it
may be safely said that no better or more
deserving men could have been found for
the respective positions. The location of
Land Office at this point has long been a
necessity, and many parties will now be
enabled to secure titles to mineral and ag-
ricultural land, who could not afford to do
SO heretofore. The rapid approach of the
railroad through the District has created
a demand for land in this section, and Of
course Government titles for the same are
desired. Our advice, as well-wisher to
the pioneer settlers and miners of the coun-
tys is to secure your homesteads and claims
as soon as possible. There will be very
little delay in getting the Office in working
order.

Senator Cole recently visited Marysville
and was warmly received by Mayor Chas.
Gorham, and other leading Republicans,
among some Of whom jsalousies have here
tofore existed, which, we are glad to know
are henccforth forgotten. The Appeal,
in speaking of the reception, says:


But the social gathering of last evening
was of more importance than the mere
interchange Of friendly sentiment. The
misunderstanding and inharmonious feel
ings that have for some time past tended
to create apathy aud lukewarmness in the
Republican party we're oblterated, the uni
versal expression on all sides was in favor
of putting aside all of the past that might
tend to keep the breach open, and to unite
as one man, with common object to de-
feat the Democracy and secure the trium-
ph Of the Republican party and its primer
pies This sentiment and hope were ex-
pressed by all present, and they were the
leading representatives of both wings Of
the Republican party, and they were fully,
freely, and enthusiastically endorsed by
Senator Cole. From this beginning we
have high hopes of the future, and it only
remains for Republicans throughout the
State, to take the cue fiom their brethren
of Yuba county, to make the future sue
cess of the Republican party in California
not only secure but overwhelming.


Senator Cole will this morning go up or

special train, returning to Sacramento this
evening, and tomorrow he will leave for

tested, has won him many friends.

His eyes never got well.


Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life by the
too free use Of the eyesight, reading
small print aud doing fine sewing.
In view of these things. it is we'll to
observe the following rules in the use
of the eyes.


Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness.


Never read by twilight, or moon
light, or on a very cloudy day.


Never sleep so that on waking the
eyes shall open on the light of a win
dow.


Dc not use the eyesight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate.


Never read or sew directly in front
of the light, or window or door.


It is best to have the light fall from
above obliquely over the left shoulder.


Too much light creates glare and
pains, and confuses the sight. The
moment you are sensible of an effort
to distinguish, that moment cease,
and talk, walk or ride.


As the sky is blue and the earth
green, it would seem that the ceiling
should be a blush tinpr the carnet
green and the walls of ONE mellow
tint.


The moment you are instictively
prompted to rub the eyes, that mo !.
meut cease using them.


If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up, do not forcibly open them,
but apply the saliva with the finger

fevered flesh, as in England and in
this country.


Not only is the favor OF the fish
thus killed far superior to those that
die Of fever, but the effect upon the
human system is not injurious. How
common is it to hear the remark that
fish make people feverish. So they
do, as would the flesh of any animal
that dies of fever.


We trust that some of our fisher
men will see this article and profit by
it. Let the fish they take be each
killed with an awl driven into the
brain. It will not take a second to
do this. and it will be found that the
favor of their killed fish will be so
far superior to that of those who die
of fever that they will be bought 10
preference, and after awhile people
will buy no fish but those that have
been killed.


Try the experiment, fishermen, and
you will be richly rewarded.-Nortolk
