It'is reported in the lobby of the House o Commons that the Baroness Burdett-Coutts in tends giving half a million pounds to afford permanent relief for Ireland. The laay who intends performing this unsurpassed act of generosity has already gained a world-wide reputation for her muniflcient charities. The Honorable Angelina Georgiana, Baro ness BurdetfcCdutrSp is tnTTyoungesF daughter of the late Sir Frederick Bur dett, and granddaughter of Mr. Thom as Coutts, the enormously wealthy banker. In 1837, on the death of the Duchess of St, Albans (originally Miss Mellon, the actress, who, as Mr. Coutt's widow, enjoyed a life interest in his property), the whole of the vast for tune left by the great banker came into Miss Burdett's possession, on which oc casion nhe added Coutts to her name. The extensive power of benefitting her fellow creatures thus conferred, Miss Burdett-Coutts most wisely and liber ally employed, until her philanthropical projects have become famous. AJcon sistently liberal member of the English Church, her munificence to the estab lisment in all parts of the world have been the theme of admiration. The handsome Church of St. Stephen, Westminster, with parsonage and three large schools was erected at her expense. She has also built a church in Carlisle and the Church of St. John at Lewis ham. She has endowed the colonial bishopries of Cape Town, South Africa; Adelaide, South Australia; and British Columbia, at an expense little short of half a mil ion of dollars. She supplied the funds for Sir Henry James's topo graphical survey of Jerusalem, and of fered to restore the ancient aqueducts which supplied the holy city with water a work, however, which the Govern-ffiefrc-pFOffiised to (but did not) fulfill. obtained from the East, at great ; cusm -.v"?-r -vrocj r !. a.

Whenever a man draws a prize of a squeaking pair of boots from a shoe store, he always gets them Saturday night, and by church time the next day the squeak is fully developed. He ar rives at church during the long prayer and upon his entering, the usher gives him an admonitory gesture of silence. The first step inside of the sacred pre cincts is followed by a sound like that of ripping a clap board from the side of a barn, while the ladies on the right side of the aisle tip their top knots on ohe side and squint from their left eyes thosA on the other side reversing the order. Balancing painfully and ner vously on his corn, he makes a more gradual effort and is rewarded by hear ing the same harmonic reverberance, like "linked sweetness long drawn out.' Then he tries to navigate on the balls of his feet and waddles along on his heels. He clutches convulsively at the side of the pews to lighten his weight; knocks down an umbrella or two and gets all of the deacons to raising their bald heads, and the skin across their foreheads, and scowling as they do the rest of the week. So he determines to mince matters no more and trots along fast, ierkinc out spasmodic shrieks with a regularity that is unattainable in any other business and reaches his pew with all his under garments turned to porous plasters. The great quantity of stow on the mountains in this,. county, which the cold weather has! formed into ice to a great extent, together with an aver age of about two pot of packed snow along the foot hills, promises to make b; reams boom during the warm spring tjavs BniiroacjnjjBtisiJiciAi por tion oi mfr -jpWftlwHr - Trinity aud DelTorte o.untiesj and Southern Oreconi will nour into the 1 Klamath, while the &outhern and east ern sides of Mount Shasta, the eastern side of the Trinity range, together with all of Modoc county to Goose Lake valley, in Oregon, willl pour in to the Sacramento. As the Klamath is a swift stream, running through great canyons nearly all the way to the coast, no unusual flooding of coun try is expected, hut the Sacramento will test the levees and flood the Sacra mento valley to a large extent, to cause great damage and loss. In our own county Scott river is likely to cause much loss to farmers in flooding their lands on the island, until too late to seed, especially since the stream has been filled up with debris during late years, which might be remedied a good deal by pulling out the willows, which catch the floating sand, and also im pede the speedy flow of the water dur ing freshets. Yreka "Journal." ADDITIVXAL HOMESTEAD E.NTKIES, Thefollowingcircular issued fromtho general land office, under date of Sep tember 20, 1879, and addressed to reg isters and receivers of the local land offices, is of importance to settlers throughout the country: "GENTLKMEyt In addition to in structions heretofore given for carrying into eneot ttfe aots of uongrSj of March 3, 1879, having referrenco" to cases of 'persons 'iho at the- dates-oi the respective acts had taken home steads within the limits of railroad or military road land grants as indicated, and been restricted by existing- laws to1 eighty acres, and providing that stfch persons may make additional entries of adjoining land, if any be subject to entry, or relinquish their existing en tries, as if the surrendered entries had not been made, I have to direct that you require parties applying for the benefit of said acts, either by making additional entries or by relinquishing their old, for the purpose of making new entries, to submit proof which shall set forth the particulars of their existing entries and of their compli ance with the legal requirements re garding the same, as prescribed in homestead final proof, according to forms No. 31 ond 32 in circular of September. 1. 1879. This reqirement is found necessary to ascertain the status of the original entry at the date of application for the benefit of said acts, and also the credit for residence and cultivation to which the party who made the same may be entitled according to their provisions, in per fecting his title under the additional or new entry to be allowed without wait ing the arrival of the time when final proof on the latter is to bo made a time with respect to which the statu tory provisions are more or less indefi nite.

At this stage of attack their frolicsome ap proaches become very interesting; the former' is & mere' decoy,- (lie latter is the real assailant, and keeps his eyes steadily fixed on the ham-strings or flanks of the horse. The critical mo ment is then watched, and the attack is stimultaneous; both wolves spring at their victim at the samft instant one at the throat, the other to the flank and if successful, which they generally are the bind one never lets go his hold till the horse is completely disabled. Instead of springing forward or kick ing to disingage himself, the horse turns round and round, without at tempting a defense.

And now would it not Mr. Edi tor, be a severe reflection on the taste of the ladies of Applegate for your correspondent to insinuate the many proposals of marriage he has on hand, "nearly a quire of Leap Year applica tions to choose a wife from!"

An old subscriber and friend writes us that a celebrated French chemist and physician, who has analyzed toma toes declares that they contain all the elements of calomel, and he has known them to salivate persons. She wishes our opinion on this subject, ana we have only to say that this idea has been going the 'rounds of the press for more than 30 years. It is a falsehood from beginning to end. The idea that they producealivation may possibly have originated from the fact that, eaten in large quantities by some per sons, tbe acia oi tne iruit seems to ir ritate those parts of the mouth with which it comes in contact. The idea that tomatoes cause cancer is another superstition, the outgrowth of the for mer notion that tomatoes were unfit to eat They cause neither cancer nor salivation, and may be eaten with im punity by most persons, and often with great benefit Herald of Health. '.i The kissing "boom is making the most energetic headway, but it is getting a a good many ministers into trouble. A kiss is a very little thing and for its size about the nicest thing in the world but even ministers have to be carefnl what they do with, their stock of kisses over and above what may be needed at home. The New York preacher who kissed the young and good looking la dies of his parish in a moral way was sustained by the church: but the New Jersev preacher whose kissen, as he said, were merely of a fatherly charac ter, is looking around for another church. The public is anxiously await ing the next case to see what new va riety of kiss may come in vogue. PKODIXT OF COLD AND SILVEB.

The following is from the pen of B. A. Colonna, an engineer attached to the U. S. Coast Survey, in the "Californian" for March: "Friday, August 1, proved to be the day I had been waiting for. The wind had hauled to the northward during the night, and the smoke had vanished as if by magic. At sunrise, I turned my telescope in the direction of Mount Lola, and there was the heliotrope, one hundred and sixty miles off, shining like a star of the first magnitude. I gave a few flashes from my own and they were at once answered by flashes from Lola. Then turning my telescope in the direction of Mount Helena, there, too, was a heliotrope, shining as prettily as the one at Lola. My joy was very great; for the successful ac complishment of my mission was now as.sured. As soon as I had taken a few mearures, I called Dr. McLean and Hubbard to let them see the helio trope at Mount Helena, one hundred and ninety-two miles off, and the long est lino ever observed over the world. In the afternoon the smoke had arisen, and Helena was shut out; but on the following morning 1 got it again, and my mission on Mount Shasta was fin ished.

T also direct that the service placed on the new routes since, and including July 1, 1879, be discontinued, if the foregoing reduction is not sufficient for the purpose indicated. I think the rapid growth of population and busi ness in the Territories and new States, and the restoration and improvement of the service in Southern State de mand the existing service, and in many instances additional service on old and new service on recently established routPS. I also believe the public ser. vice suffer by tho reduction. But the law requires that I shall not exceed the appropriation, and I am determined to conform to the law, D. M.
