Leaving the Mines.

At no period since 40 has there beer
as large number of strangers in oul
city AS at the present time
Each steamer that touches our wharves
from the upper country is crowded with
traders and miners from the variou:
towns in the interior.
The heavy fall of snow in the noun.
tains and the great scarcity of provision:
have driven them from their claims and
trading posts, and they are necessarily
compelled to seek some point where they
can be sheltered and fed during the in
clement winter.
Every paper that reaches us, from the
upper branches of Feather river to the
San Joaquin, is filed with startling
news OF cold, hunger and destitution.
The snow in many places has fallen
twelve and fifteen feet deep; the streams
swollen to q fearful extent; the low
grounds entirely submerged the supply
of provisions completely cut off in many
sections of the country.
The destitute and hungry miner who
has been toiling for months in the noun
tain gulches, Iegardless of the falling
show and pplting torrents, in order to
gather gold for his family at home, is
driven from his claim without dollar or
perhaps blanket, to seek shelter in the
cities during the inclement winter.
The trader who has been toiling from
morn till night for the past two years in
his little clapboard shapiy or canvass
tent, and who falters himself that in the
coming spring he will visit his family at
home, with his hard-earned little for
tune, i awakened from bis sleep by the
rushing waters to see his fortune in a
moment swept away. and be left without
even house or dJllar's worth OF goods.
and q heavy debt hanging over him.
As the last resort he leaves for one of
the lower cities; he reaches Sacramen-
to and finds it filled with the turbulent
waters, and his creditors suffering from
both fire and water. His last resort is
to seek San Francisco in search of en-
ployment. What is his surprise, on
reaching here, to find business almost
entirely suspended, no hope of employ
ment, a creditor meeting him occasion-
ally with detected countenance and a
long bill for goods sold early in the fall,
or u note falling due on Christmas
Such is the winter Of so in Califor-
MIA. We can safely say tina, 40, with
all its fearful ravages by flood, regard
less Of the disadvantages of shelter,
clothing and provisions, which all new
countries labor under, will not compare
with the present winter; and unless the
deluging rains cease to fall within few
days, the wants of the upper country
must be greater still.-Atla

A LoNa ExILE.-..On the 9th inst,
says the New Prussian Gazette, a
small carriage drawn by two small
ponies, stopped at hotel in the Klos-
terstrasse, at Berlin. In it were an
old man, meanly dressed, with beard
reaching to his breast, and female
nearly as aged as himself. The inn-
keeper, not pleased with their appear
ance, and not understanding the Lam
guage in which the old man addressed
him, refused to receive them. The
old man then spoke in French to an
officer who was passing, and requested
him to speak to the innkecper. He
informed the officer that he came from
Siberia, where he was transported in
1912 as prisoner, he being at tho
time sergeant in the French army.
After marrying, and living in Siberia
forty years, he had suddenly felt a
strong desire to visit his native coun-
try, and with the aid Of the Russian
authorities had set out for Nancy, the
place Of his birth.

Uecate, report of horrible crime COM
mitted in that vicinity. The father and
mother of family died last spring. =,
Their disease was supposed to have been
cholera. recent disclosures have ex-
cited suspicion that they were poisoned
by their own daughter a girl of fifteen.
A young man had been paying his at
lentions to her, to whom the parents OBJ
iected on account of his bad character.
To remove this obstacle, it is supposed
that the young girl consented to and
committed the horrible crime of parri-
eide.

How THEY PUNISH TREASON IN PER.
sIA.-We mentioned recently the at
tempt against the life of the Shah of
Persia. We now learn that Hajee Sule-
imam Khan, accused as the instigator of
the crime was seized, his body carefully
drilled with knife in parts which would
not at the moment cause death pieces
of lighted candles were then introduced
into the holes. and, thus illuminated, it
was carried in procession through the
bazaar, and finally conveyed to the town
gates, and there cleft in twain like fat
ram. The kurret.il-Ain, better known
as Bab's Lieutenant, or the Fair Proph-
etess of Kazoeen, who, since the late re-
ligious outbreak, has been kept close
prisoner at the capital, has been execu
ted, with some dozen others. His Ma
,jesty received three slug wounds in the
shoulder, but all Of a very slight nature.

Gen. Pierce.

The New York Mirror, in speaking Of
the President elect, says, he is man Of
excellent abilities, of undoubted patri-
otism, and of finer personal manners
than any public man since MIR. Clay.
Cordial, off hand, dignifed and courte'
Gus, he wins the warmest affections OF
all with whom he holds intercourse. In
personal popularity he will excel any OF
his predecessors in the Presiden tial
chair. The manner in which his init
mate friends speak of him-as Frank
Pierce, god fellow is sufficient indi-
cation of the friendship he inspires -
The Mirror says
" In appearance he does not look like
the chief of great nation In majesty
of person he is not q Washington or a
Fillmore. His figure is slight; hi, head
not large his face habitually pale; his
eye remarkably mild, and his figure, al
though above the common height is a
little thinner than the average. In re-
gard to his principles we believe him to
be more conservative than his party. He
comes of good old New England stock;
and what is still better, we knew him to
be a thorough Webster Union man. We
believe the country will be safe under
his administration.
Being elected by what may be regard
ell as the will Of eighteen millions out
Of twenty-five millions of people, he
may well feel rich in popular resources,
Let him cut loose from all the heads and
tails Of factions in his party, and al. par
ties; and say to the ringlcaders of Rowdy
ism, ,Barnburnerism, Fillibusterism s Ra-
Aicallsm -'Procul! 0, Procul, este profa-
niE' Let him call to his councils, not
the Old hacks of sham Democracy ; but
the young, fresh, pure, honest men OF
the nation, without regard to party
names, and the country may look for
ward to brilliant, prosperous and peace
ful administration"

DECLINED THE AIp.--The city OF
Ningpo having been blockaded and
threatened with an assault by daring
feet of pi ates, the authorities bought
them off, paying the leaders thousand.
and the sailors thirty dollars apiece for
returning to their allegiance" To
raise the required amount, and large
sum in addition to propitiate the emper-
or, all honseholders were called on BY
proclamation, to pay their next quar-
ter's rents to the government instead Of
their landlords. The piratical leaders
were further rewarded with Offices and
titles. A British armed steamer offered
to break up the fleet, but the magis
trates decli3ed the aid of 'outside peo'

Lebig, with mathematical certainty
that as much -four or meal as can lie on

tricious than five measures bout eight
or ten quarts-of the best Bavarian
beer; that person who is able daily to
consume that amount of beer obtains
from it in whole year, in the most ia.

A STORY OF TAPEsTRY.-Peets COM
pare human eyes to stars. 1t struck us
that we preferred those real stars, shin
ing through the wall, to certain glitter.
ing human eyes which lady once saw
shining from her wall. As the story
goes, the poor lady, destined to terri.
BILE fright, was sitting alone before the
fire, opposite mirror which rested on
rfhe mantle piece, and taking of her jew
elled necklace and bracelets before go
ing to rest, when she looked up accden-
tally and'saw in the mirror-what must
have made tapestry room terrible TO
her, as lo' & as she lived, for it was in O
room hung with tapestry that she was
sitting--she saw shining eyes rolling in
the head of one Of the woven figures q
sight which we, safe from all ambush of
the kind, can never think of without q
quiver of systematic dread. She knew
that a thief was watching her and that
there must be some accomplice in the
house who had cut out the eyes of the
figure to enable him to do so. She did
not 60 into Mysteries, nor anything else
that was not to the purpose She took
nc notice, sat awhile without looking in
to the mirror-no doubt with q deadly
horror of being approached from behind
She unfastened some part of her dress
yawned, put on natural appearance of
sleepiness, lighted her bed-chamber can
die, locked her jewel case and the on
ly suspicious proceedings left it on the
table, walked steadily towards the eyes,
the door being in that direction, quickly
took the key from the lock, left the
room. locked the door on the outside and
quietly went to seek help, which she
could better trust than that of her own
servants. .-D,ckens' Household Words.
