Correspondence of the Albany State Register.

WASHINGTON, january 10, 1907.
The politicians of the Democratic par
ty here are much exercised in their minds
at the reports which are coming in from
many of the states relative to the action
of the party in the matter of sending del
egates to the Baltimore Convention. 1t
now appears that Senator Douglass, who
Is the most popular of all the Democratic
aspirants among the masses, is to be
ruled oil, as too young, too little, or too as
piring, or all three. General Cass, too,
who will have stronger poll in the Con-
vention, on the first ballot, than any 9TH
Their man, is ruled off The efforts of the
southern coalition of Foote, Cobb, Toombs
& Co., can't carry through his nomination.
Buchanan is to be ruled off, as an old
Hunker and an old Federalist. Marcy
is to be served the same way.
William o. Butler is, in the end, to be
united upon as the man for the new con-
dition Of the Free Sellers, and Union men
ofthe great Democratic party to unite
upon. That is the first plank in the
Democratic platform. Marcy, or Buch-
anan, or Dickinson, either, will answer
to 60 upon the ticket for Vice President.
The House of Representatives has been
organized upon the new coalition plat
form.
The public printing and the Census
printing are to be parcelled out to Rives
and Blair of the Globe and Armstrong
and Donaldson Of the Union, agreeably to
the mandates and plans of the coalition.
Now let the Wings unite, cordially and
unreservedly, upon their best and most
available men for President and Vice
President, and they can beat the coalition
lists out Of sight. o. P.O.

CAL1roRSIA.-Gen. James Wilson,
who some years since occupied the office
of Surveyor General of Wisconsin and
Iowa, and with whom many of our read
ers are acquainted, is now in California.
He writes home to his friends, that,
People have entirely erroneous opin-
ions about California. The common idea
is that if a person can only get to Cali
fornla he has nothing to do but to scrape
up the gold by the shovel full, until he
satisfies all the cravings of his avarice.
The adventurer for California starts with
this opinion-his mind is all absorbed in
thoughts about linen sacks, buckskin
bags and close purses to hold his gold
ne is anxiously contriving how to pack,
keep and safely transport his precious
yellow dust. His beautiful reverie is
never for moment disturbed by doubt
of getting it.
1t is great and fatal mistake. 1t is
enough of itself to blast the prospects Of
nine out often of all the people who come
to California. The stern experience of
the practical miner soons dispels the er-
ror, and the poor deluded sufferer is dis
couraged, disheartened and mortif ed-he
looses his energy and fortitude-he sick
ems and dies.

correspondents to come to California

PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
THIRTY-NINTH VOLUME
GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICE
THE
Knickerbocker MAGAZINE,


EDITED BY LOUIS GAYLORD CLARK,
will commence its THIRTY-N NINTH volume
with the number for January, 1852.
The subscription price of the KNIcKER-
BOOKER will be reduced from five dollars,
10 THREE DOLLARS, on and after the FIRST
day of Jinuary next.
The change is made for a reason precise
ly the reverse Of that which ordinarily in
duces publisher to lower the rates of his
Magazine. This is usually done because
the publication cannot be sustained at its
original rate, which is consequently REDUCED
with the hope of extending its circulation.
This is followed invariably by deteriora
ton of the work, in all its departments,
and in everything relating to it. Indeed
itmay be laid down as a rule, in the con-
Quoting of Magazine, that if the original
price will not remunerate for its publica-
ton, it is only going from bad TO worse to
to reduce that price.
The Knickerboeker at the present time
enjoys larger subscription list, and pays
better, than it ever did before; and of the
twenty years of its existence, the past year
has been the most prosperous.
The Publisher is now in situation, in
consequence of the condition of the Mag
azine, to offer it at THREE DOLLARS per
annum.
With this reduction there will be no
change in its form, size, character or quail
ity, except chsnge always confirmed for
THE BETTER; for it will improve on the past
maintaining the position so long awa.ded
to it.
TERMS: THREE DOLLARS a year,
strictly in advance; there will be no de-
Walton from this condition.
To Clubs Of Ten, $3.50 each.
Booksellers and Postmasters are reques-
ted 10 act as agents. Those who will I'M
dertake to procure subscribers will receive
favorable terms. Specimen numbers will
be sent gratis on application postpaid.
All remittances and all business commu-
nications must be addressed to Samuel

Twas said by one, 81 want a wife.n
(Who does not want the samel
To be the solace of my life,
And wear my honored name.
Sne must each woman grace possess,
Each virtue we'll defined
Be frank, intelligent, discreet,
Accomplished and rellned.,,
Now, ye noble lords 'tis ours
In turn to speak our wants;
Pray lend a list'ning ear awhile,
And you shall have our thanks.
Old father Time has trudged along
To eighteen hfty-t~S;
'Tis "Woman's Right" THIS year to speak
What three in four speak you.
We want to meet a kindred soul,
A Joy and solace too
We seek not for lover false,
But husband kind and true.
And he must wear an honest face,
And own q faithful heart
Be frank, intelligent, discreet,
In folly have no part.
He must be graceful, tall and brave
Brave In defense of right
Sport no mustache, and chew no Guild,
And smoke no dirty pipe.
Must drink no wine, ale or beer
We hate the .bibber's'' breath;
His love for these must all converge
In love for US till death.
Must be wen verscd in men and books,
In Science deeply read;
By him we'd be to that famed ssHilp'
Onward and upward led.
And he must be affectionate,
And love US as his life,
Whom naught Of earth can separate
From his affianced wife.
And he must have feeling heart,
Compassionate and kind
A noble, high-souled, generous man,
And strong in virtue stand.
We do not care that wealth be his,
But health, ambition, zeal,
Must fire his eye and nerve his heart,
And firmly stamp Its seal.
Blest with the love Of such man,
How smoothly life would glide;
With such man 'twere bliss to float
Adown Times silent tide.
with such man our days would pass
In pure domestic bliss;
He'd be our sun, our guiding star,
To brighter worlds than this.
With such man 'twere bliss to live,
And more than bliss to die;
With such man our ship OF Hope
Would anchor in the sky.
To such man (IF SUCH THERE BED
We'd pledge our heart and hand;
Should fortune frown or storms assail,
Firm at his side we'd stand!

Some of the aOest medical writers assert this |;
among whom we may cite the celebrated names of

of Royce and Boudct, show that so far from pull

spontaneously cured by nature IN a vast number Of
cases, even when large nlcers have been famed on

the ulcers Tor tubercles) upon the lungs, and to
heal them permanently. Health wiilthen follow.
This the Graefenberg Consumptive's Balm Wilde,
and it is believed to be the only remedy dis

invariably arrests their progress, and restores the

it will heal what may be lett; leaving the indi-
