The Missouri Democrat announces
that shipments of corn in bulk to
Europe, via the great water route,
are now progressing sabisfa actory.
Since Monday Of last week over one
hundred thousand bushels Of corn
have been taken by the barge, in
bulk line for England and France
VIA New Orleans This corn is go
ing forward on q contract freight OF
ten cents per bushel, which is Slight
ly tough for the barge line people,
as just now they could get thirty
five to forty cents per hundred
pounds for carrying miscellaneous
freights down the river, and this
corn pays but about eighteen cents
per hundred. But contracts are
contracts, even though not made in
writing, and the barge line are not
the party to break them. After all,
though the obligation to carry bulk
corn at ten cents per bushel seems
now TO their disadyange, il may, in
the long run, turn out to have been
the best thing they could do, as by
moving the corn out of store here
they make room for more to come,
thus providing plenty of loading
forthe barges when the rush of mis-
cellaneous freight shall have ended,
which viii be the case in thirty days.
But it must be supposed that the
Barge Line Company are taking no
miscellaneous freights. Only part
of their room is given to bulk grain
pro bably less than one third the
balance Of the capacity of each tow
is taxed to it's utmost with -four,
provisions. liquors, hay, .baggei
grain, corn meal, and general mer-
chandise. There is an immense
rush of freight going southwark
from this city For want OF labor
ers to put it rapidly aboard of the
boats il aecumnlates in vast heaps

It is more rare than pearls, Or than

stance Of the faculties of man raised
up in sweetness and power, and
shining out as the sun shines on
summer days, with such gentleness
as to nourish, and not to singe, the
tenderest flowers. s7 People say that
meekness consists in not. getting
mad when struck, or IN keeping
composed In the midst of local OPP
position. Yes, that Is one phase
oft. But you might as well bring
me bit OF the bark of an oak-tree,
and tell me that that was an oak
tree, as to tell me that the control
of ones temper is meekness. It is
part of the oak-tree; it is one thing
connected with the tree; but it is
not the tree itself. So, mildness of
temper is not meekness.-H. W,

Our san Francisco exchanges give full ac- counts of the recent death of Mir. Pioche by bis own act. He shot himself between the eyes, with revolver, while in bed at his own house, on the morning of the Sth inst We clip the following from the San Francisco i CaU:

 The cause which led Mir Pioche to take DIS own life was an affection of the brain, which, 1t Is presumed, brought on fit of temporary insanity, during which he fired the shot. For many months previous to his death, Mir. Pioche had complained of severe pains in his head, and his most intimate friends say that no cause other than that mentioned could have brought on the frenzy from which he must have been suffering when he took his life. On Wednesday afternoon and evening he was quite cheerful and enter tained friends at his house until late hour, after which he retired for the night. No let ters or evidence indicating that he had pre- meditated the act could be found. It was reported that in January last he made an at tempt to take his life by swallowing lauda- nun, but he took an overdose and by that means failed to accomplish his object The deceased was a native of France, fifty five years of age, and unmarried. He leaves no blood relations except brother, who re- sides in France. He came to this city in ls48 from Santiago de Chile, where he had held the post of Secretary to the French Consul; and soon after his arrival in Califor- mia he engaged in the business of importing French wines and merchandise, and some years after that established the banking house which has for many years been known as 'Pioche and Bayerque" The firm is still in existence. with Lester l.. Robinson in the place of MT. Bayerque, who died few years ago. He was a far-seeing man, and in the early days of California expressed the opinion that San Francisco would be the great city of the Pacific Coast. He lived long enough to realize the fact that he had been correct in his opinion. He was always energetic and entcrprising, and did much to advance the condition of our city. He was the first to build wharves of any extent, the first to erect gas works. He was the proprietor of the first line of street cars run in this city the Market-street line-which served to re- claim an immense tract of country, which twelve or fourteen years ago was covered with sand hills, but which have now given place to so many magnificent structures. He was also the proiector of the first railroad in California-the Sacramento Valley road running between Sacramento and Folsom. Mir Pioche directed his attention to the mines, and was largly interested in the Ely District in the State of Nevada. Tie town of Poche in that State was named in honor of him.

 The deceased was a man who, by his con- duct in business and in social life, drew around him a host of true friends. His estate is estimated to be worth nearly one million of dollars He has left will, of which J. B. Felton, Gustave Dussolle, Samuel Theller, d J. B. Bayerque, are the execu- tors

Editor Herald: wish to lay before
your readers, and especially those Of Troy
and vicinity, few facts in relation to
Dramsbops. 1t appears that some of
the good people of Troy have to some
extent become awakened to the fearful
effects of that formidable enemy, Alcohol
which is making its inroads upon our
society and threatening to sap the very
life, blood Of peace and social order in our
midst. They have met and discussed the
question of remedy without prescribing
any; or, if they have prescribed any, are
too timid to administer. Sad, indeed if
We have an evil, for which tie law afford,
no remedy but saddor yet, if We have q
remedy which We arc too kind to admin

So We see the law regards its sale with
extreme jealousy, aud to exempt one from
the penalty Of the law he must comply
strictly with it. The law is everywhere
imposing penalties and restrictions upon
its unwarranted sale. Who can com plain
Of the law? BY the general law OF the

justice, every man has an inalienable right
to pursue any other avocatiou in liio he
may choose, being responsible for the
abuse OF that privilege but the legisla

relation to dram. shops, through whose
voice, and by whose will only they may
be established. 1t Is therefore plain to
be seen that our legislature has never en-.
acted law authorizing this kind OF
traffic, but confines that act to those who
may desire saloons In their midst. This
is undoubtedly the principle of the law.
Troy, for instance, IN this respect is law

qualified voters. The question submitted
is, Whether it shall be legal to have u

tributes the ballots, aud those who sign
the petition vote for its legality. Now
is it possible that in view of these facts
tho same voters or signers will turn right

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE.-There is a
place in Oregon called the Smoky Valley,
where the people have curious way OF
cooking. They do not have the trouble
Of making fire every morning when
they wish to get breakfast. They just
walk out with their kettles, coffee pots and
whatever else they need, and cook them
at the boiling spring. The water seems
a great deal hotter than the common boil
ing water, and all they need to do is to
hang their pots in it for a short time, and
their food is nicely cooked. They are
able even to bake bread in it. The bread
is put in tight saucepan, and lowered
into the boiling food for an hour or two,
and then drawn up most exquisitely
baked, with but thin rim of the crust
over it. Meat is cooked here, and beans,
which are the miners great luxury. 1t
takes but minute to cook eggs, or to
make pot Of coffee or tea; but if there
should be " slip between the cup and
the lip" food would be gone beyond re-
cOVery.

LIE Down AND REsT.-Dr. Hall says
the best medicine in the world, more
efficient than all the potencies Of the
materia medica, are warmth, rest, clean
illness and pure air. Some persons make
it virtue to brave disease, to "keep up''
as long as they can move foot or crook
a finger, and it sometimes succeeds; but
in others, the powers of life are thereby
so completely exhausted that the system
has lost all ability to recuperate, and slow
and typhoid fever sets in, and carries the
patient to premature grave. Whenever
walking or work is an effort a warm bed
and cool room are the first indispensable
steps to a sure and speedy recovery. In
stinct leads all beasts and birds to quie-
tude and rest the very moment disease or
wounds assail the system.

One of the most stupendous projects oi

Maury of a system of international crop


and weather reports. The proposition has


been received with favor both IN this
country and in Europe. The Scottish

Alexander Buchan, is the most renowned


meteorologist in Great Britain, has signi-


fed its readiness to act in the matter

France Rome, Russia, and some others
are ready to engage at once in the task. a
great number Of the Southern States have
by resolution instructed their representa-"
tives in Congress to go for the Confer
ence, while many of the leading journals
Of the North are urgent in recommend
ing its adoption at once by the Govern
ment.


This plan Of Commodore Maury, as
our readers are already aware, proposes
to collect statistics in regard to the grow
ing crops, and to forecast the weather BY
a series of meteorological observations
throughout the world. Every move
ment, says Commodore Maury, III his

The singular favor with which south
ern Democrats have received the Cincin-


natl ticket has suggested to certain cas-


tern Democrats the brilliant idea that


the South had better stand aloof and
silent in the discussion of the presden
tial question and leave the Northern


Democracy to settle the whole business.


This is very pretty and plausible plead


ing; but it has the fatal flaw of being
in the interest of Grant. Such argu-


ments for Southern silence in Democratic
consultations possessed much merit a
year or two ago, when Democratic can
didates were to be nominated and support
ed; and Southern Democrats then readi-


ly admitted their force. But it is the high
and rare merit of the Cincinnati tick ct
that 1t has given to the procribed South
perfect freedom of expression aud action


in this presidential controversy Any
man at the South, even though he may
have been a steadlast and unfaltering
adherent of the confederate cause from
beginning to end, can only declare for
Horace Greeley. without impairing Mr.
Greeley's strength at the North and
the great body Of the Southern Democrats
may, as they actually do, espouse the
cause of Greeley and Brown, without
exasperating Northern men into oppo
sition to Greeley and Brown. The
North sees and admits that people who
cheerfully and voluntarily support
man like Greeley. are no longer enemies.
either to the Union or to any settle
ments of of war; and it admits, too, that
such hearty pledge of good feeling and
patriotic design from the South deserves
to be met with frank, fraternal feeling.
There is. then, no reason for silence at
the South on this question.
