THE Six Interrst.—Few who have a __.already made in this State in silk cule. ~-tal show that there were 356,053 mul. berry trees.in the State, and that -8,048 cocoons were produced in 1867.

The cocoons produced in 1868 are estimated &t 1,350,000, and 1,859 ounces of eggs, 800.ounces being shipped to Europe. This increase in production will continue during-the present year, notwithstanding the great difficulty in procurThe growth of the mulberry is not sufficient to keop up with the immense power of reproduction in the worm. _ The sale of eggs to European silk producing countries will be a great source of profit to. Californians engaged in the business. The California eggs are preferred to all others, as they are free from -diseaseSome idea may be formed of the importance of this trade when it is known that in 1868 the amount paid: for eggs in Japan alone, was $4,000,000. In the county of Yolo, one man, I. N. Hoag, last year fed 600,000 worms, produced. 325,000 cocoons, and sold 400 ounces ‘of eggs. This is certainly an excellent showing for a ;young industry almost entirely new to most of those engaged in it, and from the progress already made, we are justified in the statement that California will, in a few years, not only be yielding cocoons and eggs, but that her manufactories will be turning out silks that will rival any produced in the world, and that the ambition of, every fashionable lady will be to have a robe of California silk. LEY—We learn trom Under Sheriff Potter that there was great excitement in Grass Vulley,nearly all day yesterday that is to say after the Grass Valley Union had been circulated around the town, Which paper contained the following highly sensationalitem: = We offer a pint of peanuts to any urchin of Grass Valley, male or female, who will solve this proposition. Old people may work at it if they chose, but will get ne're a peanut by being successful. I have $100 with which Iam to buy 100 head of stock, no more and no less. I havé to pay $10 per head for cows; G8 per bead “for sheep, end 50 cents per head for hogs. What-number each of cows, sheep and hogs will I have? The $100 must be spent. “FARMERS AND Miners.—The Washington correspondent of the Sacramento Union says: Sargent intends that more ‘stringent instructions shall be sent to govern theamaking.and return of surveys; and he is, #lso, preparing a bill with much care to separdte the mining and agricultural lands, and let the farmers have their farms and the miners thgir mines. There is no need of collision between these interests, and the jarring, so far as experienced, is the result of the clumsy machinery applied by the Land Office. It will probably impossible to legislate on the till the December session. is delicate and diffi much responsibility. and involves Coxwrfimep.—Fhe Commissioner of the General Land Office lias confirmed . the decision made by the Register and Receiver of the Sacramento Land Office, in favor of Henry M. Condon, to 160 acres of land near Grass Valley, in this . county, which was contested by other parties at the Land Office in Sacramento. Gore East.—S. P.

On another pagel ses VELOCIPEDES FOR NEVADA.—By the San Francisco boat of yesterday, there arrived thrée velocipedes for different locations in Nevada. A handsome one is consigned® to a party in Virginia City, another for Belmont, Nye Co., and another for-our friend. Frank Torrington, at Reno,” éte. There are nine Nevadas, yes, eleven, when we speak indefinitely, as’ follows: Nevada, Gilpin Co., Colorado; Nevada, Tipton Co., Ind; Nevada, Storey Co., Iowa ; Nevada,Mercer Co.;Ky ; Nevada, Mower Co., Minn ; Nevada, Vernon Co., Mo ; Nevada, Wyandot Co., Ohio; Nevada City, Madison Co., Montana; Nevada City, Nevada Co., Ca]. . The latter county and the State of Nevada join each other, divided by the 120th of longitudefrom Greenwich, Eng., and the 73d from Washington, D.C. Each is the same latitude fora large extent, and each of about the same importance. The prestige of Nevada City and County . in the palmy days of mining, having’ subsequently developed the finest syslem of mining known to Christendom, its products and its representatives, given it a general application. We know of two girls named Nevada, who were born in this county. : Papers in San Franciseo in publishing the arrivals at the hotels from this city, say “of Nevada.” Nevada was applied to this place 19 years ago, the 17th of April, 1850. The “city” wasapplied by some one in legislative capacity. What a brood of Nevadas she now has, and still lives, in name. Would’nt it be well for the city or county to change the name in accordance with a Califor~ nia‘fashion, or is it possible to change the names of other places that have approepriated it? We might eall curs Gold County and Golden City, and become tich in gold, contention, envy and by their proper geographical names, might cause the mailss ef the whoe family of Nevadas to go to their destination smoothly and quickly. We cannot hope for it under the present hesdway. There are so many cooks to make the broth, so many careless writers,so many careless postmasters.— Writers write Col. for Colorado and Col. for California. People talk and newspapers educate the people in the same ambiguous style. An express let. ter, addressed “Gov. Blasdel, Nevada,” wason a special visit here a few. days since. Multiplication and repetition of names and errors will contifue with people and places, such is‘ the — pro. gramme and order of the day. If, however, the people; would take th time and responsibility of thinking,. acting, speaking, reading, with their eyes right, and writing right, right would follow right; and wrong ‘could forth as bright and beautiful as the noonday sun. A. J. > News Irems.—We obtain the follow. ing from the Union of yesterday : The Pacific coast Senators attempted to have Ross Browne retained, but the Senate Committee has reported in favor of Howard’s confirmation. ' Senater Chandler says no rade language was used in the interview between the President and Senator Ross. It is said that the President and Cabinet, Fish dissenting, have determined to. demand immediate reparatjon of Cuba for injury and insults to American citizens. . The Senate has ratified the treaty for will leave next Monday on a business trip to Illinois: He expects to go and come in twenty-five days, the settlement of claims with Peru.

AN EXCURSION ‘T'RAIN.—An_ excursion train will leave St. Louis, Mo,, for Sacramento city by the Union and . and Central Pacific Railroads,about the ist of June. Invitations have been issued, and the party, which is composed of: capitalists and politicians, have limited the time of the exeursion to one month, returning the first of July. The above information was obtained by a private letter received in this city, and dated March 29th. a LErrens.—We are informed by Posttained on the overland route. came through yesterday. : Mai, Contract.—The contract for carrying the mails to Washington and Omega has been awarded to Thomas Marker.

Prof. Lowe » WoMEN FaTTED FoR MARRIAGE.— In Tunis a girl, if she is betrothed, is cooped upin a small room, shackles of wold and silver are placed upon her ankles and wrist, as a piece of dress, If she is to be married to a man who has discharged, dispatched, or lost a former wife, the shackels which the former wife wore are put on the bride’s limbs, and proper thickness. The food used for this custom, worthy of the barbarians, is called drough. It is of an extraordinary fattening quality; and also famous for rendering the milk of the nurse rich and abundant. With this food and their natural dish,cascasia, the bride is literally crammed, and many actually die under the spoon. In this.country cotton and India rubber, externally applied, are made to answer a similar~purpose. eae A STONE.weighing 450 carats, now supposed to be a diamond, was found in Virginia nearly 100 years ago, by a man who picked-# up to throw.at a rabbit.
