No one will claim ae ‘this State is as well adapted for corn as dome Of the Mississippi Valley States; but it has been demonstrated that good crops can be grown in every part of the State. We raise good corn crops in the mountains, by the aid of irrigation, and jt is by no means cer4ain thatit cannot be raised without. The people have mach yet to learn in regard to the agricultural productions of California.’ A few years ago it was supposed that nothing whatever necesaaty for the sustenance of man could be grown on thé gold belt in the mounsains ; now. if is an established fact that . this'same region will produce the nec‘eéshries of life as abundantly, and in agreat variety as any region on the frite of thé globe.

ADULTERATION OF PaPER.—Few persons are aware ‘of the extent to which paper is adulterated by fine white clay, for the purpose of increasing the weight fora given thickuess, and thus obtaining a bigher price jor the article. ‘ihe substance mainly used for this:purpose is sulphate vi lime, which gives t the paper a good color and an apparent firmness of texture, bat which really weakens it, and taterially affects 118 durability. Paper of good quality ought not to leave,atier burning, niere than two ‘per cent. of ash ; butit is quite common new to meet with paper of which one-third or one-fourth, consists of silica and ciay. Ten, years ago it was estimated by good authority, that sixty thousanu tons of Kaolin were used in’ the man utacture of paper in Kurope, instead of rags; and it is probabie that the umount employed at the present time is vasuly greater in Pens both in Kurope and America,eae pteereeneterepeeeteenemesenenny ~NEW YorK HOTEL. ; ns RP.
