Cloud-bursts, cyclones,drouths and floods are striking the world in its tenderest spots, their actions being as uncertain and paralyzing as a streak of forked lightning. In some of the countries that we call foreign, pestilence stalks through thickly populated regions, and the shadow of famine is settling. Here in Californi®, the land that above all others boasts of the finest climate in the world, sir, we are in this month of June wearing our winter flannels, sleeping under two or three quilts at night, and shivering over red-hot stoves by day. Our ice cream merchants are despondent, and picnic managers are loitering around, their overcoatsjand umbrellas in use, and the brand of despair written across their countenances, Oar hay and grain fields bow their heads to the prevailing wetness, and the California farmer is ‘figuring on what his losses will be from the season’s cleanup. The barometer has caught the fever and remains stationary till the storm begins. Then it takes a tumble and rests at the lowest notch till a change occurs in. the weather when it lazily rises to stay up till after the elements have broken loose again, The barbers say their razors won't keep their edge these times, and butchers, carpenters, wood sawyers and other workers with edged tools declare that their implements are be-witched. McCarty, the Statistician publisher, predicted when he was in town this week that the elements would not regain their wonted equanimity till late in 1885, and that this year and next we might expect the seasons to be reversed to a considerable extent and the world generally to be turned topsy-turvy as it were. And Still they Come. Orange Howard, a gentleman who lived in Eureka township for a long time previous to a few years ago, when he went to:Ohio where he has since resided, returned here this week accompanied by his family. He owns a promising quartz ledge in the upper part of the county, and will at once beyin the development of it; Old: Californians like Mr. Howard can find contentment only on this coast. Every little while some of them strike for the Hast thinking they will spend the balance of their lives there, but almost invariably they ‘drift back here again to their most favored love, the land of gold. ——eee——— A Good surcestion. The admirers of Blaine and Logan are coming forward promptly at this city to join the Plumed Knights, and the organization will be a big one. A similar company is being formed at Qakland and the Vidette says : ‘Let every town of a hundred Blaine voters have a company, and all the larger ones brigades. The vast army of plumed knights will cover the land. Let each company, if possible, have a band, a quartette club of singers, committees for enrollmeut, registration and every needed work to bring voters into the grand army. We predict immense popularity-for the new organization.” Insured for $c ‘e County Treasurer Schmittburg having returned Tuesday night from Sacramento immediately opened the county safe and ascertained that the insurance policy on Mrs, Fitzsimmons’ house which was destroyed by fire Sunday night does not expire till the 26th instant.

H. Dowae has received from: “THE METEORS.” Véry Good in Some Respects, Exceedingly Bad in Others. The ‘‘Meteors” gave quite an acceptable performance Tuesday evening, although it was by no means a great show. Upstairs, where it cost a dollar to go, about two-thirds of, the seats were occupied; but on the lower floor, where the admission was fifty cents, there was as big a crowd as could be accommodated. The management thought they saw a chance to “‘hog” a few extra dollars by reserving three or four of the front rows of downstairs seats, and lege of occupying them. Only half a dozen or so people were willing to contribute on this proposition, and as a result those seats remained comparatively empty. The orchestra of five musicians was an unusually good one, —its—performances._being much enjoyed by the audience. The Werners, Maud and Ed, gave some operatic specialties in good style, while Minnie and Lena French were exceedingly graceful in their fancy dances. Mr. Dempsey has left the troupe for some reason, but his quondam mate, Mr. Dyllyn, in dialect vocalizations, has enough voice and ability for most any two men, and succeeds well in making the people forget Dempsey’s absence. cork eccentricities, interspersed with musical specialties, The only objectionable business on the -programme was that by Mr. Hallen and Miss Hart, a pair of very ordinary players who try to ‘‘catch on” the tide of popularity by a liberal dispensation of vulgarisms, The management should either reform them or send them back to the disreputable dives where such doings are popular. Ella Wesner made a good hit in her male impersonations of the society swell and the young man who had lingered too long at his champagne, but she spoiled the favorable impression she made in those characters by making herself the medium of a cheap advertisement for a tobacconist, She sang a cigarette song, smoked a cigarette, and flung fifteen or twenty bunches of cigarettes into the audience to be scrambled for by the b’hoys. The best part of the entertainment was the farce with which it closed.Mr. Evans as ‘‘The Book Agent” was excruciatingly funny, He is a comedian who provokes a laugh every time he moves,speaks or looks his thoughts.

Accident at Smartsville. James Murphy of Smartsville was attaching a giant-powder cap to a fuse when it exploded, shattering the thumb and two fingers of his left hand. Amputation of a portion of the injured digits was performed. It is supposed that some dust or dirt got ‘into the cap and that the friction of the fuse caused the explosion. Young Mar Killed.

The Powder Pool. The Bay papers say the consolidation of the Giant, Hercules, Vulcan, Vigor it and Safety-Nitre powdercompanies, which went into effect on June 2, has advanced the price of all ‘thigh explosives” about forty per cent.,.and it is contemplated to make a further advance of about thirty-three per cent. within a few weeks, The dividends paid during the year 1883 by the local powder companies amounted to $493,000, so that with the advance in prices above noted it may be expected that the dividends will increase in equal ratio. The increase of the consumption of “thigh explosives” has been remarkable, and the production of what is known as ‘‘Nobel’s Dynamite” (which includes giant powder and all other nitro-glycerine powders made under Nobel's patents,) according to Professor, Abel of the Woolwich Arsenal, has: increased from 11 tons in 1867 to 8,500 tons in 1882, Grass Valicy ‘‘Union” Items. Mansau & Co. had a clean-up a few days ago at Perrin’s mill of 42 loads of quartz from the Slate Ledge mine, which yielded $52 per load. The Gen. Grant mine, in the. vicinity of Forest Springs, which has been standing idle for some years, has been leased to a party of working miners, An additional pump is being put in the Empire mine to handle the additional water that has lately been encountered below the 1300 level. In addition to the good quartz recently taken out of the tenth level south of the New York Hill mine by tributers, some good prospects are being obtained on the eleventh level no:th, which are expected to lead to a body of good ore.

A Chicago murder recalls a very old story of the Pacific slope. A good-natured miver made his first trip to San Francisco with a lot of gold dust for sale. So long as he had business on hand he attended to nothing else; but his dust once sold he felt at liberty. He took a bath, got shaved, bought a snit of ‘‘atore clothes” and a ‘‘biled shirt,” registered ata first class hotel, dressed and then started out for a good time. As he left the hotel door, he met, standing there, a stranger with a pleasant looking face, who nodded cheerfully to him. ‘‘Why, how do you do?” said the miner, grasping his hand with a squeeze like a vice, ‘I’m desperate glad to see you. Been lookin’ for you some time, stranger, Let’s take a drink.” The stranger politely expressed his thanks, but declined. A puzzled look stole over the miner’s face, then one of wrath, and finally one of. unmistakable sorrow. Under the latter mood he burst forth: ‘For heaven’s sake stranger, don’t do me that way. I’ve just started out for a flyer, and I don’t want tokill a man in the first hour,” The stranger reflected a moment and responded. quietly: ‘Well, Iam a minister of the Gospel, and I do not drink; but if you feel that way about it, I guess I will take a glass of soda water.” It was fixed up on that basis, A Quaker Printer’s Proverbs. Never sendest thou an article for publication without giving the editor thy name, for thy name oft-times secures a publication to worthless articles, Neither do you loaf about, ask questions, er knock down type, or the boys will lovethee like they do shade trees when thou leaveth. Thou should’st never read the copy on the printer's case, or the sharped and hooked container thereof, or he may knock thee down, Never inquire thou of the editor for the news, for behold, it is his business at the appointed time ‘to give it to thee without asking. It is not right that theu should’et ask him who is the author of an ar ticle, for his duty requires him to keep such things to himeelf. When thou dost enter into his office take heed unto thyself that thou dost not look at what may be lying opened and concerneth thee not, for that 1s not meet in the sight of good breeding. Neither examine thou the proofsheet, for it is not ready to meet thy sight as thou mayest understand, Prefer thine own town paper to any other, and be sure to subscribe for it immediately.

He never thought that he had the world by the seat of his pants, and then found his mine pear out on the 50 level. He never staked his last two-bif piece on a king-full and had his opponent rake itin with four of o kind. He never had his jackass eat up his bacon-while he was looking for water, He never struck a rich ledge’ and found that some other fellow had it located.

The Resources correctly says: Mining has taken a new start through out the entire mineral range of the State. Capitalistsare more and more giving their attention to the industry. In every mining district there jaa feeling of renewed. confidence among the people, and a strong disposition méhifested to extend mining operations. New quartz lodes of promising richness have, within a brief period, been discovered in Nevada, Calaveras, Amador, Tuolumne, Plumas, Placer, El Dorado and other counties, The miues in Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and other old mining sections are reported to be paying good dividends, In San Bernardino, Los Angeles and other sections of Southern California, new developments are being made in those recently discovered mining districts. . The mining region of California covers nearly as much territory as the mountains within her borders, and embracesan area aa large as Michigan and Pennsylvania, which two States are noted for copper, iron and coal, The mountains of the Golden State produce more gold than any other country in the world, and are rich in silver, lead, copper, Jiron, quicksilver and other metals. In fact, the variety of precious metals is said to be quite as great as that of Europe or Asia, The mining interest ofCalifornia is an industry of which we all.feel proud. -Its products have been the chief means of stimulating and sustaining our other great productive resources. Its trust, reached its climax; and it is certain, from the experience of the past, that, in proportion as our mineral productions increase, our agricuttural and manufacturing interests will extend and flourish, till they reach a point at which their future progress will be independent of local conditions. nee Facetiousness of Furniture. “J must have some rest this summer,” said the clock; “Iam all run down.” : “J think I need a country seat,’ said the easy chair, leaning on his elbow. “T am getting played out,” said the piano; a “little fresh air would be a. good thing for me . ” “That’s what I want,” said the sofa; little fresh air at the springs.” “T should like to go with the sofa and lounge in the woods,” said the footstool.” “Tf my legs were stronger,” said the table, ‘‘I should go to the country for some leaves.” “Country board is always so plain,” growled the side-board; ‘‘nobody that is knobby or polished there.” ‘Let me reflect,” said the mirror; they have very plain-looking lassies there, too, déthey not ?” ‘You maké me plush,” said the divan—and here the housemaid closed the folding doors and shut them all up. .

Then it takes a tumble and rests at the lowest notch till a change occurs in. the weather when it lazily rises to stay up till after the elements have broken loose again, The barbers say their razors won't keep their edge these times, and butchers, carpenters, wood sawyers and other workers with edged tools declare that their implements are be-witched. McCarty, the Statistician publisher, predicted when he was in town this week that the elements would not regain their wonted equanimity till late in 1885, and that this year and next we might expect the seasons to be reversed to a considerable extent and the world generally to be turned topsy-turvy as it were.

H. Dowae has received from: “THE METEORS.” Véry Good in Some Respects, Exceedingly Bad in Others. The ‘‘Meteors” gave quite an acceptable performance Tuesday evening, although it was by no means a great show. Upstairs, where it cost a dollar to go, about two-thirds of, the seats were occupied; but on the lower floor, where the admission was fifty cents, there was as big a crowd as could be accommodated. The management thought they saw a chance to “‘hog” a few extra dollars by reserving three or four of the front rows of downstairs seats, and lege of occupying them. Only half a dozen or so people were willing to contribute on this proposition, and as a result those seats remained comparatively empty. The orchestra of five musicians was an unusually good one, —its—performances._being much enjoyed by the audience. The Werners, Maud and Ed, gave some operatic specialties in good style, while Minnie and Lena French were exceedingly graceful in their fancy dances. Mr. Dempsey has left the troupe for some reason, but his quondam mate, Mr. Dyllyn, in dialect vocalizations, has enough voice and ability for most any two men, and succeeds well in making the people forget Dempsey’s absence. cork eccentricities, interspersed with musical specialties, The only objectionable business on the -programme was that by Mr. Hallen and Miss Hart, a pair of very ordinary players who try to ‘‘catch on” the tide of popularity by a liberal dispensation of vulgarisms, The management should either reform them or send them back to the disreputable dives where such doings are popular. Ella Wesner made a good hit in her male impersonations of the society swell and the young man who had lingered too long at his champagne, but she spoiled the favorable impression she made in those characters by making herself the medium of a cheap advertisement for a tobacconist, She sang a cigarette song, smoked a cigarette, and flung fifteen or twenty bunches of cigarettes into the audience to be scrambled for by the b’hoys.

The Bay papers say the consolidation of the Giant, Hercules, Vulcan, Vigor it and Safety-Nitre powdercompanies, which went into effect on June 2, has advanced the price of all ‘thigh explosives” about forty per cent.,.and it is contemplated to make a further advance of about thirty-three per cent. within a few weeks, The dividends paid during the year 1883 by the local powder companies amounted to $493,000, so that with the advance in prices above noted it may be expected that the dividends will increase in equal ratio. The increase of the consumption of “thigh explosives” has been remarkable, and the production of what is known as ‘‘Nobel’s Dynamite” (which includes giant powder and all other nitro-glycerine powders made under Nobel's patents,) according to Professor, Abel of the Woolwich Arsenal, has: increased from 11 tons in 1867 to 8,500 tons in 1882, Grass Valicy ‘‘Union” Items.

A Chicago murder recalls a very old story of the Pacific slope. A good-natured miver made his first trip to San Francisco with a lot of gold dust for sale. So long as he had business on hand he attended to nothing else; but his dust once sold he felt at liberty. He took a bath, got shaved, bought a snit of ‘‘atore clothes” and a ‘‘biled shirt,” registered ata first class hotel, dressed and then started out for a good time. As he left the hotel door, he met, standing there, a stranger with a pleasant looking face, who nodded cheerfully to him. ‘‘Why, how do you do?” said the miner, grasping his hand with a squeeze like a vice, ‘I’m desperate glad to see you. Been lookin’ for you some time, stranger, Let’s take a drink.” The stranger politely expressed his thanks, but declined. A puzzled look stole over the miner’s face, then one of wrath, and finally one of. unmistakable sorrow. Under the latter mood he burst forth: ‘For heaven’s sake stranger, don’t do me that way. I’ve just started out for a flyer, and I don’t want tokill a man in the first hour,” The stranger reflected a moment and responded. quietly: ‘Well, Iam a minister of the Gospel, and I do not drink; but if you feel that way about it, I guess I will take a glass of soda water.” It was fixed up on that basis, A Quaker Printer’s Proverbs. Never sendest thou an article for publication without giving the editor thy name, for thy name oft-times secures a publication to worthless articles, Neither do you loaf about, ask questions, er knock down type, or the boys will lovethee like they do shade trees when thou leaveth. Thou should’st never read the copy on the printer's case, or the sharped and hooked container thereof, or he may knock thee down, Never inquire thou of the editor for the news, for behold, it is his business at the appointed time ‘to give it to thee without asking. It is not right that theu should’et ask him who is the author of an ar ticle, for his duty requires him to keep such things to himeelf.

The Resources correctly says: Mining has taken a new start through out the entire mineral range of the State. Capitalistsare more and more giving their attention to the industry. In every mining district there jaa feeling of renewed. confidence among the people, and a strong disposition méhifested to extend mining operations. New quartz lodes of promising richness have, within a brief period, been discovered in Nevada, Calaveras, Amador, Tuolumne, Plumas, Placer, El Dorado and other counties, The miues in Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and other old mining sections are reported to be paying good dividends, In San Bernardino, Los Angeles and other sections of Southern California, new developments are being made in those recently discovered mining districts. . The mining region of California covers nearly as much territory as the mountains within her borders, and embracesan area aa large as Michigan and Pennsylvania, which two States are noted for copper, iron and coal, The mountains of the Golden State produce more gold than any other country in the world, and are rich in silver, lead, copper, Jiron, quicksilver and other metals. In fact, the variety of precious metals is said to be quite as great as that of Europe or Asia, The mining interest ofCalifornia is an industry of which we all.feel proud. -Its products have been the chief means of stimulating and sustaining our other great productive resources. Its trust, reached its climax; and it is certain, from the experience of the past, that, in proportion as our mineral productions increase, our agricuttural and manufacturing interests will extend and flourish, till they reach a point at which their future progress will be independent of local conditions. nee Facetiousness of Furniture. “J must have some rest this summer,” said the clock; “Iam all run down.” : “J think I need a country seat,’ said the easy chair, leaning on his elbow. “T am getting played out,” said the piano; a “little fresh air would be a. good thing for me . ” “That’s what I want,” said the sofa; little fresh air at the springs.” “T should like to go with the sofa and lounge in the woods,” said the footstool.” “Tf my legs were stronger,” said the table, ‘‘I should go to the country for some leaves.” “Country board is always so plain,” growled the side-board; ‘‘nobody that is knobby or polished there.” ‘Let me reflect,” said the mirror; they have very plain-looking lassies there, too, déthey not ?” ‘You maké me plush,” said the divan—and here the housemaid closed the folding doors and shut them all up. .
