The Missions of California.—Ki-Gov. Jo^éCas-
tro gave some very interest in»; testimony during
an examination in the Santa Clara orchard case
before Commissioner Lott, in relation to the history of the missions in California and the laws
governing them. He said that the Governor or
the Departmental Assembly had no authority to
sell or grant the orchards and vineyards of the
Mission. _ No such power was ever conferred by the
Constitution of Mexico. Neither Figucroa nor the
Assembly, in 3488, when thc Missions were secularized, assumed to dispose of their orchards and
viueyardH, but they reserved the control over them
to the Supreme Government of Mexico. The Supreme Government, upon 1 liis subject, being submitted to them by Gov. Figueroa and the deputation .of the Department, determined and mude
known their determination to Governor Chico,
that the orchards, vineyards, Mission buildings,
churches, graveyards, and gavdens of thc Mission
belonged to tlie Missions for their use and the
support and maintenance of divine worship. The
Government determined tbat this should bo so,
because the expense of building up and cultivating
and improving them had been derived from the
salaries and means of the Missionary priests; and
the Governors and civil authorities of the Department recognized this determination as binding and
the properties as belonging to the Church. At the
time the Americans raised their (lag in Monterey,
the orchards and vineyards of tlie Missions were
all in possession of the Missionary priests, excepting the Missions of Soledad, Purísima and San
Miguel, which were totally abandoned. Thc witness also said that when he left California in -August, 1816, all the Missions of thc North were in
possession of the Missionary priests, and some of
those in the South ; but he was under the impression that about this time the Mission of Santa Inez,
Buenaventura and San Fernando, and possibly
some one or two others, were leased out and in the
possession of tenants. The Mission did not owe
any money to the Supreme or Departamental Governments, and their orchards, vineyards and houses
could not bo sold for any purpose whatever.
The deposition was not closed.
U. S. Lasd Commission—March 2.—Lands op
the Catholic Cuuhcil—We published above
some interesting testimony in relation to the constitutional law of Mexico, concerning the regulations _ and properties of the Missions. From an
examination of the archives of the Commissioners
we find a claim made by Eifchop Allemany in behalf
of the Cathoiic Chnrch, for all the properties, except thc Mission laud, or as they were called, Mission ranches, belonging to the 21 Missions, into
which the Diocese of California was divided. If
the testimony of Gen. Castro, which we published
yesterday, can be relied upon, and title to the Mission buildings, gardens, vineyards, graveyards, etc.,
was in the Church, and could not be sold as granted
by tho Governor or by any civil authority, then
the Catholic Church has undoubtedly a good claim
to a large amount of property in California iu
the hands of strangers, the recovery of which
might greatly enrich it and add to its power. We
say then that we regard this claim as highly important, and one destined to attract great attention,
for though it has for a long time lain forgotten on
iiie, tlie important testimony of Gen. Castro, which
we published yesterday, has as we should judge
from what we have heard, awakened inquiry and
public interest in the matter.— Times fy Trans.

¿Experimenta   In Irrigation.
A writer in the Genesse Farmer, records bis experiments in irrigation, iu this wise:
Some persons have supposed that the water used
must be poured upon the plant, or made to over-
How it, or at least overflow the ground; whereas,
the water should pasg up through thc soil by means
0('capillary attraction, thus supplying moisture in
nature's own way, and. in nature's own quantity. It
is true that showers are beneficial on the leaves occasionally ; but the greater portion of the water
soaks into the soil, to bereturned to the plant as it
needs it by the capillary tubes.
I have a piece of ground of about two acres, on
which I have befld making some experiments tlio
past season, having a stream of water from a. spring
passing through it. I ploughed the ground (which
was sod) in May last, into lands ten to twelve feet
wide, and four furrows deep, by throwing each
successive furrow on thc top ofthe last, thus placing the sod at the bottom and the mellow dirt at
tlie top, and breaking it up near twenty inches
deep. By the way, I think much of this mode of
subsüiliug, as mine was all done with one pair of
small horses. The dead furrows or ditches between
the different lauds were¡cleaned out with thc hue,
and were filled with water at such intervals as it
has been found necessary during the summer for
the purpose of irrigation. The water was not permitted to overflow or run off, but settled into the
soil, and supplied the plants by capillary attrac
tion.
The result has been very satisfactory. All kinds
of roots are surprisingly large and beautifnl; and-:
notwithstanding the season has been so dry that
nearly all the gardens in town have been ruined
with the drouth, as well as many trees killed, still
there are beets on these beds that will measure over
two feet in circumference, and nearly as long, with
carrots, parcnips, and other vegetables in proportion.
A Yankeb Storv.—A friend of ours tells one of
the moat capital stories, illustrative of Yankee
Bhxewdneaa Ul driving a bargain, we have ever
hoard. It is the well knowu practlle of New England farmers, living in the vicinitv of small towns,
to send their produce to some merchant residing
there and receive till Boris of goods in exchange.—
Sometime duriug the last war with the mother
country, when many aud all kinds of goods were
MUCO, a tall, heavy Oreen Mountain boy. walked
several miles into town with an egg which hia
mother had Bent him with to exchange for a darning needle. The bargain was concluded, bul still
the countryman tarried in the store, looking silently and wistfully about him, with his wide mouth
half open, until he spied at the farther end a decanter of old West India rum ¡ this t>i£ht was too
exciting for longer endurance aud overcame his
bush (ul ness at once—
"Look here, mister," Jonathan exclaimod, "don't
you always treat when you've made a trade!"
" Oh, yes," thc merchant replied, good naturally,
help yourself to a glass."
'I'Ik. büofit&ng btf-erage wa» prepared with its
quantum üf sugar and water, and tasied ; but still
the fellow held the glass irresolutely in his bony
fingers—the preparation was not to the poiut of
satisfaction, which the storekeeper perceiving, inquired if it waa not good.
•' It's slick, it is," says Jonathan, '• but I'll tell
■you what, mister, an egg beat up in it would make
it slicker, well it would."
The merchant was amused and humoring the
fancy, handing him back thc identical egg he had
received for the needle. Jonathan broke it into
his rum and water, and perceiving it had two yolks,
cried out willi great energy—" liy gosh, mister,
you ought to have given me two needles for thia
egg!"
-i£3v A Capital. Joke.—W« were told n few days
since the following piece of " skinning," as it waa
called, and which is rather too good to be lost,
showing atthe same time the desperate straits a
certain class of gentlemen are put to in making a
raise. A well known "case," who was hard up
for money, meeting a brother chip in the sireet,
told him if he would walk across the street, go into the front door of the hotel opposite, and in
walking in be very lame in his right leg, but come
out in a few moments and be lame in tlie left leg.
he would make it " all right" with him sometime.
Without asking why or wherefore, the fellow did
as requested, and the "skinner" going up to a
gentleman, remarked to him how lame that man
was in his left leg, who was just going info the
hotel. The gentleman said he was not lame in his
left leg, which the other insisted was so. But to settle
the matter the '■ skinner" immediately proposed a
bet of Sit) that the man was lame in his left leg,
which the gentleman accordingly took up. The
money was posted, and in a few moments out came
a fellow so desperately lame in his left leg that lie
could scurcely get down the steps of tlie hotel, and
of course, the money was lost by the gentleman,
who could scarcely believe his own eyes, for although he came out lame in the left, he was perfectly certain he went in lame in the right leg. but
at the same time he never imagined any collusion
between the parties. We have heard of many ways
to make a raise, but this goes ahead of all.—[Albany Knickerbocker.

Ji®-While in a certain store the other day, we
noticed a neat looking old lady enter, with a bask-,
et on her arm, and spectacles on her nose, looking
for all the world as if she had just popped out of a
band-box, so clean and tidy was slie. She stepped
up to the counter, aud liie'following dialogue took
place between her and the clerk :
Ot.o Ladv. " You haven't any butter, have
you ?"
Clerk. "Yes, ma'am, some nice and fresh, just
received."
O. L. "You don't sell it at twenty-five cents,
yet, do you?"
C.    •' That's our price, ma'am."
O. h. " You could'nt let me have a couple of
pounds, could you?"
C. "O, certainly." Taking her plate, he weighed the butter, and she threw down half a dollar,
which he scrutinized closely,
O. L.    " You don't think that's bad, do you ?"
C.   "Yes. ma'am, I do."
O. L. (Much excited.) " You weuldn't take this
back again, would you ?"
C. "How do you know I wouldn't?" And
taking the butter, he dashed it into the fiildn. The
old lady seized her plate and bogus half, and started to leave; but when she got to the door, she
turned round and said, in the way of a clincher
" You're not any ways riled, I reckon, are you ?'-
A Case of Real Distiiss.—A Philadelphia correspondent says : A police officer, on Saturday morning, observed a decent looking man take a small
piece of beef off a butcher's stall in the market, and
conceal it under his cloak which he wore. The
official notified the butcher ofthe fact, but the latter said that bo decent a man must have been driven by want to tho commission of the act. The
officer determined to watch tlie needy mm, and following him for a considerable distance, observed
him going into a house in the upper part of the city. The policeman knocked at the door, which
was opened by the man, who, upon seeing the badge,
begged the former " for God's sake not to arrest
him." The officer went into the house, where he
found a scene of destitution, in the midst of which
were four shivering children, eagerly devouring
the raw meat. This dark picture is somewhat relieved by the fact, that the officer returned to the
butcher, aud toldhim ofthe sighthehad witnessed,
when the kiud hearted fellow gathered up among
his friends fifteen dollars in money, and a large
basket of provisions, and scut them to the famisbiug
family.
:S^_ We take tho following from an English paper : "A distinguished editor was in his study. A.
long, thin, ghostly visaged gentleman was announced. With an asthmatic voice, but in a tone of studied civility, for otherwise the editor would have
trauslixed him with a fiery paragraph the next morning, thc stranger said, "Sir, your journal of yesterday contained false information." ''Impossible,
sir; but tell me to what you allude to." "You
said that Mr. M. had been tried." "True." '■Condemned." "Very true." "Hung." -'Most true."
"Now, sir, I am the gentleman himself." "Impossible!" "I assure you it is a fact, and now I hope
you will contradict what you have alleged." "By
no means, sir." "How! what do you mean ? you
are deranged." "I may be ao sir; but I will not
doit." "I will complain to a magistrate." "As
you please ; but I never retract. The irost that I
cau do for you is to announce that the rope broke,
and that you are now in perfect health. 1 have
