Every portion of California snd Oregon felt immediately the revivifying Influence of its blessed flnistrations. Busi- Bess men woke from troubled dreams of bank- Waptey and suicide—famished wife and stary- Yaz children to hear the joyful patter of the gain drops on the window pane, and rubbed their eyes again and again to be sure that ea were really awake and not dreaming, and of toil for once did not mind a wetting, as they tradged joyfully to work, as bread for the little ones was assured for the year. The capitalist fer once forgot to ponder over Kearney in San | Francisco; anarchists in France and Herr Most. | ‘the Latin-learned socialist lecturer of German America: and even the weary and worn-out stail of this journal began to feel that there was @ future for their often unthanked efforts. And to those who are inclined to light literature Memory brought back pictures of scenes graphi- ally portrayed by the almost inspired pens of Bulwer and Hawthorne, and others who love to revel in the portraiture of nature. To use an old and well-worn phrase, the raln worth golden millions to the people of the atate aud of the coast, while San Francisco's Business of 1883 is assured. This rain means a wheat crop mayhap of Seventy milltons of Dashels—and it we are conservatively inclined ¢f at least sixty millions, unless all other signs fall. It will keep merchants and storekeepers Busy from now till next year. It will draw Beets of nations to this port, and the mantpu- Iators of freizhts will sing. "To be sure prices ‘will be somewhat lower, but it is better to have gdouble crop with fair prices than high market @yures and no returns, The storm has been brewing for many & day. by day and night after night ave anxious noted the gathering of the rain clouds aa they trooped across the sky, but left us no reminder of their presence. " We have always felt that the rain would come, al fied to tone up our readers, and we are thus Gexbly glad of the advent of the storm. the good news was true. The hardy ‘sons | FASHION WRINKLES.

Theshortest cloves made ‘In the new summer styles of kid, silk and thread correspond to six buttous, the longest twenty- four buttons, and the length most called for is twelve buttons. Tue tendency is decidedly in favor of larger bonnets so far as straw is concerned, and the shapes, which partake of the poke character, are broadiy divided into three varieties. One of these is moderate in size, and has a round brim of unexaggerated size, which is inconspicuous, and usually found in plain black or white English straws. Crare Mustin Dresses come in pale blue, cream white and shrimp pink, with the em- broldery done along the edges in abundant quantities to trim the skirts, with two or three gathered ruffles. and to edge the overdress; they are sold for $15 a pattern, and they are used | at present for simple evening toilets, and are very effective as transparents over satin or yel- vet skirts. Ix ordinary hoslery there is nothing superior to the hair-striped, plain, and ribbed in recu- larly made cotton or Lisle thread. These wash and wear well, which cannot be sald for all of the more fanciful kinds of hosiery.

White holds its own still, for beau- tiful as some of the new tints undoubtedly are, nothing in all the range of colors can be made to look more attractive and artistic than white, with lace adornings. Tue Manta for braiding dresses, and, for that matter, tor braiding of every description, seems to be greater than ever. It appears strange that no simple fashion can be adopted without being carried to extremes and hackneyed within three months. Bralding and beading both look Well if used sparingly; but an entire dress run- ning over with ornamental vines and leaves, befties, bugs, birds, and blosgoms put on Indis- criminately from throat to skirt hem is a sight to see. and is tn utterly bad taste.

From the New York Sun. “Where did we get that quantity of stamps in the window? Why, It is only asample of what we haye inside,” a stamp dealer sai “Look here,” opening a large case closely packed with stamps, “and at these,” displaying a pile of albums more or less filled. “I'll tell you where we got them. We buy them from every civil- ized country in the world. Only this morning we got In a quantity of rare Belgian stamps, which cost us $3,000. We have agents and cor- respondents in the capitals of every country, who are always on the lookout for anything rare in our line. Besides, we purchase large quan- titles from small collectors in the United States, many of whom make a fair living nosing about importing houses and begging the stamps trom foreign letters.” “Do you have many customers?” “I should say we do. Besides the large num- ber of retail dealers throughout the United States to whom we sell, we have valuable cus- tomers in the army of stamp collectors which has sprung upof late. You would be surprised at the number of persons absorbed In the hobby. Stamp collecting is no longer a school boy pas- time. It has become the serious occupation of thousands of persons, the most of whom, as I fina by experience, are far past their youthful days. You have no idea of the avidity with which they scrape together these odd-looking stamps, and the large prices they are willing to pay torthem. Thave heard of some who keep their stamp albums under double lock, and of others who even keep them under their pillows at night! Stamp collecting is the most alluring ot hobbies. There are 6,500 different stamps known. The value of certain single stamps is equal to many a person's yearly income. A leading banker, whose residence is in Madison avenue, has an album of stamps orth at the lowest estimate $30,000. Another album, owned by a lady, Is valued at $25,000. I could hame several ‘more, varying in value from $20,000 down to #5,000. “What inducements have they to expend such large sums in intrinsically worthless article: “Well, some are enthusiasts, and they collect stamps from pure love of the rare and 2urious. Just as many expend fortunes on rare manu- scripts and works of art. Others, and I believe they compose the larger class, have more char- acteristically American views. They see the almighty dollar behind: these tiny pictares, and they buy them up for the same reason that a keen Wall street_man buys up stocks which he knows will bring profitable returns. From two to five years will double the value of nearly every one of these stamps, and these collectors know what they are doing when they invest largely in the article.” “Are corners in the stamp market possible ?” “Certainly: many collectors are at present buying up all the match box and medicine rey- enue stamps which pass out of use in July. They hope tn a few years to create a corner in the market and get them off their hands at imniense rices. We sold a match box stamp yesterday for $15." “What collections have been sold at notably large prices 7” “There was one sold In London in 1876 for £8.000. Another sold in Paris last fall for 40,000 francs. We ourselves have sold several 5.000 collections. This may surprise you, but remember that some ot these little stamps sell for more than $200. There is one of the old local stamps issued by the Brattleboro, Vt. post office in 1846. We would not sell It to-d for less than $200. We have many others of equal vilue. The stamps which are most tn demand and bring the highest prices are the provisional stamps issued from 1B44 to 1846 by the postmasters of Baltlmore, St. Louis and Brattleboro. Here 1s the Baltimore stamp—a simple frame of single lines enclosing a fac simile” of the autograph of James Buchanan. The St. Louis stamp displays the arms of the state of Missouri, with ‘St. Louis’ and the large numeral of value above, and ‘P. 0.’ be- low. The Brattleboro stamp consists of the autographic iitials ‘T. N. P2in an octagon ground of vertical lines, with ‘Brattleboro’ | above and ‘P. 0.’ at the sides, Any of these can be sold for £200.” “It is said.” the reporter remarked, “that many rare stamps have their birthplace in stamp factories in Chleago and other enterprising 0 a ‘That is not true.

E. Gray, ot the British Museum, foliowed with a similar and more complete ‘work in the same year. ‘These works were widely read, excited much curiosity, and caused thousands to become stamp collectors. The mania went on increas- ing until at present I can safely say there are more than a million persons seriously devoted to collecting stamps.” —————E Our Reporter's Vacation Notes, Durirg bis rambles this season, our Mr. M. has taken upon himeelf the task of eatisfying our numerous readers that whatever goods are manufactured in our goodly city of Roger Willlame, are of as high a grade, ‘and as fine in quality as can be produced in any spot on the globe. Expeciaily is this so when the skilled Phar- macist of mapy years’ experience resolves to extract | from the finest botanical specimens of the yogetable world the most potent cure for some special discase. In proof of his assertion that Providence, R. I., affords the best, he relates an interview with an acquaintance, given him while sojourning temporarily at her reai- dence. She says, ‘‘About a year I suffered severely from Rheumatism in my limbs, and Neuralgia in the head, which I endured two or threa months with as much patience as possible, being under the treat- and trying many At leet a medics] friend advised me to try Huut’s Remedy, because he attributed my severe snffer- ing to the bad condition of my kidneys, which were not performing their proper functions, and I commenced taking it, and in a few days the neuralgia had departed, my headache had entirely disappeared, the swelling in my limbs and joints had gone, and Ihave not hada touch of it since. More recently I was troubled with impurity of the blood, which showed itself in severe eruptions on my face. I againi resorted to Hunt's Rem- edy, and after taking it a short time was completely cured of that complaint. Hunt's Remedy bas proved very beneficial to me in attcoks of sick headache, which italways alleviates, and I notice the improvement as toon as I take the Remedy.
