Interesting to Business Men—The Statlonery Trade. .
Gradually the light dawns upon us, and one
by one the facts break forth, that we, a nation
of a ten years’ growth, are fast becoming civilized. Not only the ruder marks of intellect, as
manifested in the various mechanical contrivances of our mines and farms, but literature
and the fine arts are taking unto themselves a
local habitation and a name in our midst. Stationery follows closely upon the heels of refinement, and few persons are aware of the extent
and importance of this branch of our trade.
The word Stationer, originally, signified Bookseller, from his occupying a stand or station,
but as the publication and sale of books increased, it was separated from that of the other,
the name Stationer remaining with the vender
of paper, ink, pens, ete.
At this day, in our country, a Book and Stationery store is a perfect themometer of the
nature, extent and quality of the community.
Wherever you see a neat, well kept establishment of this kind, with a gentlemanly and intelligent proprietor, you may be sure you are in
the midst of an intellectual, refined and well
informed people. ,
About two years ago Mr. Albert L. Bancroft,
brother of the eminent Publisher and Bookseller of San Francisco, conceived the idea of
taking Stationery and making it a separate and
distinct branch of trade, devoting his best energies to that'alone. No house exclusively Stationery had as yet been started upon the Pacific
Coast. Accordingly after having spent one
year in preparation, the requisite arrangements
were consymmated for receiving regular supplies from the Mills and Manufactories of the
United States, England, France and Germany,
and the enterprise launched in San Francisco,
early in 1860, under the name of A. L. Bancroft
& Co., Mr. H.' H. Bancroft becoming junior
partner in the firm.
So far it has proved a decided success, there
not being a town of any consequence in California, Oregon, Washington or Utah which
does not contain one or more customers of this
house. Closely allied to the interests of this
new firm, stands the old house of H. H. Bancroft & Co. with its large warerooms crowded
to overflowing with books in every department
of literature. The customers of these two houses derive great advantages in their being able
to make up their entire stock from them, and
by’each department of their business being
capried on’separately and upon its own merits.
We heartily say, patronize the new house of A.
L. Bancroft & Co., they deserve it. *
Tue Carrrornta Syop AND THE SaBBATH.
—The Synod of Upper California, whose session was held in Sau Francisco has just
cloned. The following in reference to the
NUMBER 370.
Rothschild and the Kingdom of Pal‘ estine,
__Itis questionable whether Napoleon's
. idea of establishing a Jewish Kingdom in
Palestine is practicable. Whatever contumely the Hebrews have suffered elsewhere,
they have had infinitely more to endure in
the country made illustrious by their historical associations and peculiar theology.
They are more hated and oppressed in the
. city of Jerusalem than in any other city on
earth, and to restore them to power would
require the complete expulsioa of Mabomedans and the continual presence of large
forces:to keep back the hordes of intractable semi-savages, who hold them in immeasurable detestation, The Arabs might
be held in check, but they would not be
subdued or restrained from rebellion’ and
could not exist under a Jewish government,
The Hebrews, themselves, would be satis.
fied with nothing less than their ancient
Theocraey, aud it is questionable whether
a system adapted to the times‘of the Prophets would be effective after so long a time;
and under any other system their treasured
traditions and statutes would be no more
applicable than at present. Neither Tark
nor Christian could remain under a government which Moses found adapted to the requirements of the great camp in the wilder.
ness, Nor do we think that the American
Jews would care to be thos colonized and
separated from the world of commerce.
Their mercantile instincts lead them to the
most active places of commerce. They are
among the first in the founding of cities,
and their congenial atmosphere is that of
new enterprise; they are patriotic, freedom
loving, and loyal to the government which
gives them equal protection, and differ
from other citizens in notbing but the observance of certain religious rites and “set
times” which interfere with none of the
first laws of Christian nations, We doubt
whether if the crown of Jerusalem sparkle
to-morrow on the -heights of Mount Zion
five thousand Jews in America would abandon republican freedom, even for the eplendid empire of the :restoration,
Napoleon’s proposition is romantic and
startling. rendered so by the historical romance of the ancient people; but when
viewed through the lens of practical political economy, it becomes visionary and unstatesmanlike. Rothschild has already
enough empire; he will bardly yield the
despotic sovereignty of England, France
and other national debtors for the narrow
territory of Palestine, where ramparts of
gold would not protect his remains from the
wandering, penniless son ef the desert,

Potar Daxaers—Much has been said of
the risks to be’ incurred by Hayes and his
party, recently sailed for the pole; in fact,
our whalers undergo more risk each year
than he, so far as marine risk is concerned.
The latter are not eaten up by the Kequimaux land-sharks, but whales have run into
such latitudes of Jate years as to give our
vessels a taste of floating ice, and plenty of
them had holes knocked in their sides,
Hayes and his craft only bas to run through
Sabbath was adopted by tinanimons vote of . the ice and make a berth ashore, His danthe Synod:
“Your Committee on Sabbath Observance
report that the Sabbath continues to be
desecrated, as in years past, throughout the
State, They would have changed God's
holy day into a holliday, and even many
Christians, insensibly yielding to the prevuiling tendency, do not ballow it as its sacreduess demands, nor as their spiritual interests require. :
We believe that this disregard of the
Sabbath is one of the greatest barriers
against the promotion of morality and religion among the people; that it neutralizes
a large share of our Christian efforts, and
that it is fatal to our social, commercial,
and natioval prosperity.
To counteract this evil, we recognize—
1. The duty of every Christian to set before the world the example of a Sabbath
kept strictly holy.
2. The duty of every Christian minister
to give the subject of the Sabbath special
attention in his pulpit ministrations.
3. The duty of the Governmeet to protect the people in their right to the enjoyment of a quiet and peaceful day of rest
from secular labor. :
4. The duty of every friend of the Sabbath to usé every legitimate influence to secure the election of such men to the Legislature as will restore to the people the right
of which they have been unjustly deprived.
We also recommend that this Synod, in
conjunction with the Congregational Association of California appoiut a committe to
act in concert with similar committees appointed by other religious bodies in this
State, in devising measures for securiug the
passage, by our Legislature, of a law for
the protection of the people of this State,
in their right to the enjoyment of the peace
and rest appropriate to the Sabbath day.”’

the awful effect which the absence of sunlight produces on human beings, when, like
vegetables ‘uader barrels, they got blanched. The polat cold can be endured for
about two seasons by ordinary explorers ;

TroTarcL Apvice.—Professor Silliman
closed a recent Smithsonian lecture by giving the following sensible adyice to young
men :
“If you wish for a clear mind, and strong
muscles, and quiet.nerves and long life,
and power prolonged into old age, permit
me to say, although I am not giving a temperance lecture, avoid all drink but water,
and mild infusions of that fluid; shun tobacco, opium, and everything else that disturbs the normal state of the system; rely
upon nutricious food and mild dilutant
drinks of which water is the base, and you
will need nothing beyond these things, except rest and due moral regulation of all
your powers, to give you long, happy and
_, lives and a serene evening at the
close.
