GRAFTING WaAx.—As the season for
grafting is'at hand, and many of our’
readera are interested in the culture of
fruit. trees, we give the following receipt for making grafting wax. It isa
valuable article-for many other purs
poses besides thatof graftiog. Wounds

accidental stripping off ofa. piece of

over much sooner than if left exposed
to the air ; besides, the wood uderneath
will remain sound ang healthy. There
are many different compounds used for
betterthan any other: Four pounds of
rosin, two pounds of beeswax,one pound
of tallow, melted together. If to be
used in cool weather, add a half pound
more of the tallow. If the cost cf the
beeswax is an objectionable item, the
quantity may be reduced one half or
more, #
TE Memphis Chief of Police is reBia Mai.—The long delayed overland mail arrived in this city yesterday.
Seven hundred and fifty letters and
about a ton of papers camé throngh,
with dates from the beginning of Winter. We received a letter mailed on
the 11th of February. Verily, the overland mail service is a “bilk.”
A Gogp APpporinTMENT.—N. A. H.
Ball, of Gold Hill, has been appointed’
Supervisor of Internal Revenue for the
Pacific Coast. Mr. Ball is an expert in
all matters of account, and in addition
to being thoroughly qualified, is thor~
oughly honest. He is known to many

Eureka Lake Water Co.
District Ceurt, March 29th.—Crittenden vs Coleman. Dismissed by consent of parties.
~Dikeman.vs Norrie. Jury empanneled and trial in progress. Creamer
vs Marsh. Demurrer overruled and
five days given to answer.
News Items.—From the Union of
yesterday we glean the following : Ed.
ward Bates died in. St. Louis, on the
25th. He wasin his 76th year.
Persons are being arrested in Paris
for seditious language.
‘The Methofftst Book Concern has
bought « building on Broadway for .
2w. Administration has mustered out twenty infantfy regiments, thus
reducing expenses $20,000,000 a year.
Secretary Boutwell is decreasing expenses in his “department. =
“Two ladies have been.chosen on the
school beard in Concord, New Hamp=
shila.
_ General Stoneman has removed Goyernor Wells, of Virginia, and assumed
the Governorship himself. The Mayor
of Petersburg is also displaced.
Ex-President Johnson is reported as
convalescing after extreme suffering
from neuralgia and calculus.
“THE Leaps or ScrENcE.—Almost
every step in engineering and mechanical progress, says the Philadelpia Press,
has been marked by some substitution
of iron for wood, or some new combina.
tion of iron. But one of our most enterprising Eastern railroads has reversed
the old ordér of things, and hag gone
back to bring up improvements in wood.
The iron wheel on an experimental car
one substituted. The cost of the new
wheel is three times that of the common
cast-metal one, but its durability is. es—
timated to be eight times as great : that
is, it will run a distance’ of. four hun.
dred thousand miles, while the metal
wheel will only run fifty. thousand. .
Fabulous as this may seem, when we
consider the elacticity and-toughness of
certain kinds of wood, there is no rea.
son why when used as car wheels they
should not preserve their texture longer
than iron, if the:-wearing surface. be
properly protected. If the experiment
prove a success it will afford a singular
illustration of the leaps Science sometimes takes with out having considered
well where she would land,
CASHMERE GoATs IN SACRAMENTO
CountTy.—Lhe Folsom Telegraph says :
We were. shown a few days since a
piece of wool from. a Cashmere buck .
the property of Oakley & Shirland,
about one-quarter blood. The sthple .
is about ten inches in length, exceedingly fine, and has a beautiful silky
appearance, These gentlemen have a
fine range in this county, at Wall’s
Diggings, and have a fine flock of
goats. This wool is worth froma dollar and a half to five dollars, the price
depending upon the lengtli of the sta.
ple, some of it reaching twenty inches
in length. The annual clip is about
five pounds to the goat. There isa for.
tune in-prospect for enterprises of this
kind.
AN extensive coal bed has been discovered on the East Fork of Lewis
River, twenty niiles from Vancouver.
The vein is fourteen inches thick. and
seven feet in width. The Register says
there was a big rush to take up claims,

FEMALE PRINTERS.—Nearly five
years ago, says the Lawrence (Wis.)
‘Enterprise, the printers employed in
our office, enlisted and went to the war,
leaving the office destitute of help. The
editor was not a practical printer, and
printers could not be obtained for love
ormoney. In this emergency Misses
Emelia and Fanny Decker, relatives of
the editor, volunteered: to go into the

BAD CURRENCY AT WuITE PIne.—
'W.J. Forbes, an ex-journalist, is now
running a whisky mill at White Pine.
Having lost his dog, he sent an adver
tisement to the Sacramento Union, together with a ten-dollar greenback,
which turned out to be a counterfeit.
It was sent back and another forwarded
with an apologetic letter, and that
thinks that the currency at White Pine
is demoralized. So says an exchange.
Gov. Woops AND THE. Ku-Kivux.—
Last October, the Oregon Ku-Klux Leg-.
islature determined to impeach Gov.
Woods for no justifiable. reason, and to
prevent the villainy, the Republican
members. resigned and left the two
Houses without » quorum, They adjourned ‘to meet in March, and having
convened a few days ago, sent a Committee to wait on the Governor, who
told thém he did not recognize them as
a legal body, and to goabout their business. They adjourned again, to mee‘
in September, but, of course, their
meeting will then be illegal.
Rich MINEs IN SrerRA County.—
The Messenger says: “Good pay has at
last been struck in the Union claim at
Queen City,where its owners have been
running so long. In five days running
last week they took out 149 ounces,
washing no stock dirt, but taking it as
it came out of the claim. The Monte
Christe, adjoining the Union, in nine
days running, took out 1894 ounces.”
THERE are nine “Great Eastern”
claims on the Recorder’s books at White
Pine ; and in some casegthere are said
to be as many as fifty claims of the
same name. i
THE Oregon papers report that smoke
has been seen issuing of late from the
tops of Mounts Hood, Jefferson and
. ‘Three Sisters. Earthquakes are—-pro=

THE Carson Appeal says there are a
dozen or more of camels running at
large on the Carson, near the old overland route; and many a traveler and
teamster can boar testimony that their
numbers have been increased from year
to year by births.
PRESIDENT Dwicnt, of Yale College

KossvTa says he will never, never,
