The most reliable accounts state the num-

are Americans, and an additional eighth Cali

Americans and Californians that foreigners
should not be allowed to dig for gold. They
think that they alone should be entitled to all
the advantages Of the mines, and they believe
that such course would secure the permanent
prosperity Of the country, by preventing the
mines from swallowing up its whole product

has proved this to be a practical piece Of iniu-

persons who landed on the coast Of Africa

The waves that on the sparkling sand
Their foaming crests upheave,
Lightly receding from the land,
Seem not a trace to leave,
Those pillows in their c~easless play,
Have worn the solid rock away.
The summers winds which wandering siul
Amid the forest bower,
So gently as they murmur by,
Scarce lift the dlooping flower,
Yet bear they, in autumnaI gloom,
Springs wither'd beauties to the tomb.
Thus worldly cares though lightly borne,
Theirimpress leave behind;
And spirits, which their bonds would spurn
The blighting traces find,
Till alter'd thoughts and hearts grown cole
The change Of passing years unfold.

In tho early part of Mr., Folks administra-
ton. Edward Warrcns. Of St. Louis, was ap-
pointed to Trieste. The following charges
were recently made against him in a democrats
ic paper published in the German language at
St, Louis.
Edward Warrens, the Consul for the United
States at Trieste, is charged and proven gull
ty of advocating the cause of the Autocrats
of Austria and Russia against the people,
He is the editor of the "Lloyd, . a paper pub
lishcd at Trieste, and boldly and impudentIy
%reioices at the entity of the Russians into the
Germanic Empire. This Russian interference
which is viewed by all patriots and good men
as the Iorerunner of terrible results, could find
no such willing advocates as the American
Consul, Edward Warrens. The independent
press in Germany speaks out in thunder tones
Of indignation against this aposlate disciple
of democratic equality, and congratulates the
people that the man is not one of their coun-
trymen, but a " free American" In this,
however there is a mistake. This man War
rens is a Prussian, a naturalized citizen of the
United States, and his appointment was re-
ceived with loud murmurs at the time it was
made. dis operations in Vienna and Trieste
do not in the least surprise US; We should
have expected him to initiate the example Of
demagogue democracy, in this State, or else
