SUPREME JUDGE.--The United States SEN
ate still refuses to act upon the nomination
of Senator Badger, to fill the vacancy upon
the Supreme Bench, and the citizens of that
district must await the nomination of Lo-
cofoco to have the laws executed. This is a
great country and we are an independent
people. There was time, however, when
the Senate had some dignity; but that body

A few days after, a plump-looking coloret
girl entered his Office, for the purpose of in.
forming her friends, and the colored gentry
generally, that she had taken to herself one
sambo, 'for better or for wus.' The editor
replied he should have to charge her twenty

then opening a paper, pointed to the article
in question. The editor blushed, and the
bride turned pale, but whether they kissed
hebonent sayeth not.

q CITY OF LANCASTER:
"wednesday Eve'ng. Feby. ?, 1883


FROM CALIFoREIA-The late accounts
from California have been Of the most dis
lressing character. The continuous rains
and SHOWS had prevailed for a fortnight pre-
Sious to the sailing of the steamers, and
bridges had been swept away, ranches car
ried of, vast quantities of stock drowned
and many lives lost. The mountain dis
tricts were almost inaccessible and the in
habitants threatened with starvation. The
miners, in certain localities, had abandoned
their claims and come down to the cities for
food. Corpses had been found by the way
aide with provisions strapped upon them,
the unfortunate persons having persisted
from cold and hunger, and cabins had been
crushed by the snow and their inmates forced
TO seek shelter in mining holes. At the la
test accounts, however, the violence of the
weather had abated, AVID provisions had gone
forward, which it was hoped would reach
the destitute places in time TO afford relief.
There is a dark as we'll as a bright side to
the picture Of California life, and many, very
many suffer ia their efforts for gold.
