Fill the boiler with soft. water to within about
three inches If the top of the inside boiler. Slice
up one pound bar of gooi hard soap.


Bring the water to boil, and then place the
clothes in the rot water. The water will imme-
bois over raise the lid.


Keep up a t fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out and Immediately SUDS them
through in soft water. If any shade OF the dirt
r, mains. few rubs will take it all out. Then
rinse them in clean water wiring dry, and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUBS the clothing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk fire is important in order to rro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling
The cover sho1ld not be removed, except when
necessary. in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, dirty shirts, for instance will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c.


Articles much soiled may be left in for a second
boiling. White hannels may be beautiful washed
(without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
out in hot water.


Colored clothes should not be mixed with white.
and unless the colors fast they should never be
washed by this process The most delicate laces
cambrics, &c, such would nearly fall to pieces
ifwashed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
ectly, without injury, by this process The almost
absolute necessity of using soft. or "broken. -
water, is well understood as to hardly need
mention here.


No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wristbands and Collars
THIS Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other device. Should shade or streak remain
it i'll be found to be reduced and softened as to
disappear without the use of a wash board. bv
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoidin,,
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. IT
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than 0NE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING. and conseq uently will
twice as long if washed by this new process. which
alone would pay for Boiler many times durinr
sin le year in almost any family, to say nothing

OPPOSING CHINEsE.-Ihe San Fran
cisco Daily Chronicle copies an item from
our issue of the 2lst, endorsing Pixley S
course on the Chinese question, aud re-
marks:


The COURIER takes the Chronicles S
views, and we are satisfied that if the Re
publican press throughout the State would
express the sentiments Of their readers as
well as their own, they would unite with
US in opposing the further immigration Of
this undesirable class of population They
seem afraid, however, to speak their real
sentiments, because perhaps the Democratic
press would ridicule their sincerity, or
question their motives The time has come
when manly and determined opposition
must be made, and it must be united to be
of avail The Republican press should
declare their opinions openly and unequiv-
ocally on this question. The party that
elects the next Governor of California must
be squarely pledged against Chinese I'm
migration. There is no dodging the issue.


Our written record in opposition to every
form of Chinese importation or immigration
dates back to the first number of this paper
issued by us, June 10Th, 1869. Individ-
ually We have ever been opposed to such i'm
migration, and outspoken ON The subject.
Between US and Zack Montgomery there
existed no difference of opinion on the
Chinese problem when he canvassed the
State in 1867, and we labored strenuously
to have the Union party of this County
enter the last campaign on platform ex-
pressing fierce hostility and unrelenting
opposition to the further immigration of
Cinnamon to this State The Chronicle
will please understand that we advocated
the views which it now promulgates on
the Chinese question, long before it opened
its batteries on the Celestials. We a1e glad,

From this date until October is the
! best time to prune fruit or shade trees.
A wound made this time Of the year will
not bleed, but will harden and remain
sound, even if the new growth of wood
does not cover it. The spring Of the
year isthe worst of all times for pruning;
the sap is then running cd it keeps the
surface eyposed hv - 5att'h@ i" '.,..
enc ,vn"ltton for decay; and if the
wound is large one, a rotten hole in
tho tree is the result. TO prune in June
is better, but even then, we would not
advise you to take off any limb larger
than an inch in diameter. Let all FAR
ger limbs remain until the last of the
summer, orSeptembcr. Therefore form
the habit of examining your trees at
this season, that yoH may avoid the
necessity of pruning next spring. But
it must not be thought that we advise
the cutting Off of large limbs when it
can be avoided; and if trees were proper
ly attended to when young, it would be
seldom necessary. Especially see to it
that none Of the young trees grow up
with crotches that will be liable to split
down under the weight Of fruit or snow
or wind; to this end, cut remorselessly.

In the vicinity Of b lived poor
but industrious man, depending for
support upon his daily labor. His wife
fell sick, and not being able to hire a
nurse, he was obliged to confine himself
by the sick bed and family. His means
of support being thus cut of, he found
himself in need. Having rich neigh.
Dor. near, he determined to go and ask
for two bushels of wheat, with the
promise to pay as soon as his wife be-
came well enough to leave, and he
could return to his wu.K. Accordingly
he took his bag and went to his neigh
bors, and arrived when they were at
family prayers.


AS he sat on the door,stone he heard
the man pray very earnestly that God
would clothe the naked, feed the hun
CRY, relieve the needy, comfort all that
mourn. The prayer concluded, the
poor man stepped in and made known
his business, promising to pay with the
first avais of his labor. The farmer was
very sorry he could not accommodate
him, but he had promised to lend n sum
of money, and he had depended on bis
wheat to make it out; but he presumed
neighbor A. would let him have
it.


With fearful eye and sad heart the
poor man turned away. AS soon as he
left the house, the farmers son stepped
up and said:


"Father, did you not pray that God
would clothe the naked, and feed the
hungry, relieve the distressed and, and
comfort the mourners ~


Ies-why? ?'


Because, father, If bad your wheat
would answer that prayer"

The loyeliest of stars, Venus, is par
ticularly brilliant and conspicuous in the
western sky. She has always been q fa-
vorite planet with astronomers and poets
alike, whether as the Shepherds Star, as
the Vesper orb of eve, or as bright Luci-
fer, Son of the Morning. At present she
is the evening star, and is passing from
her superior to her inferior conjunction
with the sun, and every evening sets
earlier. She is approaching the grand
solar center, and on the 23i of February
she will reach her inferior conjunction
and turn her darkened side towards us,
reappearing on the western eide of the
sun as a morning star. She is alternately
a morning and evening star for period
OF two hundred and ninety-two days,
although her annual revolution takes
only two hundred and twenty five days,
but as the earth moves in the same direc-
ton, it takes this additional time for the
earth, the sun and Venus to come into the
same position regarding each other. The
approaching transits of Venus lend her
additional interest. The last one occurred
in 1863, and the next occur in 1874 and
1882. These events are anticipated with
profound interestby astronomers, as they
will enable them to verify the distance of
the sun from our planet. This vast
problem is of the greatest consequence,
and there is an admitted error in the
computed distance. All during this month
Venus will be unusually bright and inter-
esting to star-gazers.

In Augustin Daly's great play Under
the Gaslight. Laura CORTLAND utters
these beautiful sentiments:


''Let the woman you look upon be wise
or vain, beautiful or homely, rich or poor,
she has but one thing she can really give
or refuse-her heart. Her beauty, her
wit, her accomplishments, she may sell to
you-but her love is the treasure without
money and without price. She ooly asks
in return that when you look upon her,
your eyes shall speak a mute devotion !;
that when you address her, your voice
shall be gentle, loving and kind That
you shall not despise her because she can
not understand all at once your vigorous
thoughts and ambitious plans, for when
misfortune and evil have defeated your
greatest purposes her love remains to
console you. You look upon the trees for
strength and grandeur; do not despise the
flowers because their fragrance is all they
have to give. Remember, love is all that
a woman can give-but it is the only
earthly thing which God permits us to
carry beyond the grave"
