Might we suggest that the residence d owners exercise a little more cart p when locking up for the ^ght?

This heirloom of California history was tbe ship's bell of the steamer Oregon, which sailed from I'nuamn for San Francisco soon after this state bad beeu admitted to the Union. Sept. ?>. 1S50. When the steam- ( er sailed through tbe Golden Gate on the morning of Oct. 22, 1850. and approavlHHl Meiggs. wharf a antinr tolled the bell incessantly until scores of tniall bouts came alongside and learned what news tbe -vessel brought. The people of San Francisco then heard for tbe- first-time that their state hod been Admitted into the federal union, and -festivities ensued. The bell bears the inscription "Oregon, 1848, New York." * ? Argi.nnit China and the Telegraph. China was confronted with n stiff ptqbwit *r itw mm*nu nun of the tet*graph. It was hope less to think of combining the western Morse dots and dashes in sufficient variety to express the 2.000 or 4.000 characters used by n fnlriy literate Chinese, not to speak of the entire 4f?.000 or so known to the highly educated men of that race. A phonetic system was barred by the fact that the same Chinese monosyllable means different things, according to the context or intonation niul also by.the diversity of dialect*.

The loss in weight In diamonds \vben :olug through the process of cleaving lml chipping and polishing amounts to Trom 517 to DO per cent on the average. Accordingly, tne price-hi & ruilgtl Ills*1 mond will have to be advanced in the finished brilliant, aside from nil other expenses, at least.twice to three limes. With the well known "solitaires" the loss In weight Is even greater, because It Is necessary to chip off so ranch more. Thus, the diamond -Excelsior, which. In Its crude raw slate, weighed 571% carats, produced two brilliants, weighing together only 340 13-31' carats, with a loss in weight of G5 per cent; and the Culllhan. originally weighing 3.024% carats, was reduced ViLr CSC carts, with a loss of 67 3-5 >er cent.

For years this wise ip luster lived nearly all the time upon >ne ship or another, frequently i\wom-_ milled by n companion, nccordng to he agreement. This was nlwaya n perioii who otherwise would have been a egiilnr passenger, hut who purchased ler ticket at reduced rates by paying be spinster instead of the packet com* >any. The company offered her more :han twice the value of the land if she would give up her privilege, but this ibe would not do. Her reply was.
