loved ones, dearer to us than life itself, and
parting from whom was like tearing the most
sensitive and delicate tendrils of the Heart
! Although in the morning of existence -
We feel the cares and responsibilities of ad.
yancing life pressing heavily upon us the
spirit may occasionally sparkle, but there is
sobriety at the hearts door, which is a strong
prerhonitory symptom Of the stern hold of ma
turing manhood We all have our foibles
and irailles, and are all liable to error but
at the close Of life, we shall review it's scenes
with sweet JUNCTION, If we have exercised Il
christian charity in our judgment of the acts
Of our neighbors and companions. There is
goodness in the human heart, although blind
ed prejudice may not discover it, in a few
hours we shall have entered upon a new year,
and the record Of the old one will have been
sealed for another day and more fearful
reckoning. This day should be occupied by
serious thoughts. 1t is the time TO settle with
ones heart-to renew and form resolutions
10 forgive and reconcile and redeem.
Old Year, farewell We owe thee much
an inestimablc debt of gratitude we thank
thee in all sincerity or thy kindness to us,
and would propliale the favor of thy success
or. Deal gently with us for many ycl
and leave not thy impress upon our brow too
sternly, ere the sands in the hour glass of
Time have run their long career. Old Year
farewell forever

LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
SAN FRANclsco, Sept. 80, 1915

pAN NAH'lS'o, Nl''' D', ipip'
The Sacramento is navigable up to the very
heart of the gold region, and small, light
draft steamer would earn her price every week,
for both wood and coal are abundant on the
river, which it would run up 800 miles,
There are fine farms, and a high, beautiful
country around the Bay of San Francisco. and
a healthy, pleasant climate. One thing ! wish
to warn all my friends about, that think Of
taking my track across Panama. 1t is the
unhealthiest strip Of country across that 18TH
mus on the continent. The rOmitO, the very
worst kind of yellow fever, RACES there the
year around, and there is greet uncertainty Of
getting chance TO 20 on for day and weeks
when yOn get to the Paciiit side. This delay
is often fatal in three days, and one half Of
our little party suffered more or less, though
we had the uncommon good luck to get
straight through. The United States ought
not to waste any money on this grave yard
route Of Panama. 1t will cost hundreds of
lives before our people learn the terrible fact
that week on the lsthmus is as fatal to white
constitutions rs a week on the coast of Africa
Whole ships crews are often swept away in
five or six days Yours, &c,
JAMES j.. WHITE.

day, having adjourned over until tomorrow.
SENATE.-Nlcssrs. Dodge and Jones, the
new Senators from the State of Iowa. present
ed their credentials and took their seats.
Mr.. Allen, of Ohio, offered resolution that
the Senate proceed, by ballot, to ascertain to
what classes the new Senators should be as
signed.
Mr. Aliens resolution was adopted, and the
following was the result -
Mr.. Dodge's tenn to expire on the 4th day

Mr. Miller offered a resolution, calling upon
the Secretary OF the Navy for information in
regard to the amount Of provisions, military
stores, &c, transported 10 the North Pacific
coast last winter. The resolution covered an
additional call for information touching public
matters in Oregon and California. The reso-
luton was adopted.
Mr. Underwood offered resolution inquir-
ing into the eXpcdiency of establishing board,
or a bureau, for the purpose of ascertaining
something approximatng to the exact amount
of public lands owned by the United States
Also, to ascertain the value and extent Of the
gold lands in California.
These resolutions gave rise TO a sort of ram
bling debate, in which illusions were made to
the movements now going on in this country
by the "god hunters 1t seemed to be con-
ccded that If these lands in California contain
ed, as represented, an ineXhaustlble supply of
gold, some means should be adopted by the
Government to secure a revenue from them -
The resolutions were finally laid on the table.

introduction of bills granting public lands for

sppi, &c:
