FREE LUNCHEs.-In consequence of the
heavy tax incurred upon bar-keepers in
San Francisco by the free lunch custom,
the proprietors agreed among themselves to
abolish the custom, upon which occasion an
Indignation meeting was called by intereet-
ed thousands, who saw that by so arbitrary
an arrangement, they would be deprived of
their only means Of liuing. The Alta Cal.
of last week says, "the attempt to abolish
the free lunch system in San Francisco, is
meeting great opposition. 1t is estimated
that if the landlords carry the proposition
into effect, that 5000 people will either be
compelled to leave that city for the mines,
or else cease to be gentlemen and have to
take off their coats and 60 to work in the
streets to earn an honest livelihood"
These demonstrations by the indignant
and injured gentlemen above alluded to have
had their desired effect-the free lunch sys-
tenn is now established on firm basis and
the mines are thus saved from the heavy
taxation which 5000 paupers would have
imposed upon them. "Let those who dance
pay the fiddler"

FINE CAKE.-In returning to our Office
on last Saturday evening, after few hours
absence, we found large and magnificent
cake upon our table. Our devil said that a
friend of ours from Mameluke had the DO
liteness to lay it there for us. By-the-by
in discussing its merits, we thought that we
could recognize relationship between it
and one or two similar ones that we saw at
the supper-table of the Mameluke Ball a
few evenings ago; and this reminds us of a
pleasant time The ball that we have lust
spoken, of was altogether one of the most
pleasant and interesting of the season.
Beautiful and smiling faces were everywhere
to be seen. Indeed, this last party at
Mameluke has convinced us that they are
there capable ofgetting up first-rate ball

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.-Every
one who visits Georgetown is struck with
the beauty and neatness of our town, our
location and onr streets, and in this respect
we Ourself believe, that Georgetown has no
rival in California. Main street will par
ticularly attract the attention and admira-
tion of strangers, not only for the neatness
of its buildings, but particularly from the
cleanliness of the street itself Now this is
altogether attributable to one Wesley, a
very clever colored gentleman Of this place.
Wesley is the one who keeps our streets
clean, and though Wesley don't pretend to
make charge, yet, gentlemen Merchants,
Bankers. Landlords and business men gener-
ally, allow us to inform you that to Wesley
are you indebted for the neat appearance OF
your town, and if you wish to show your
enterprise in a small way, you cannot do it
better than by regularly presenting Wesley
with o weIl-earned halfdollar.

SPANISH FLAT.-This enterprising little
village is located about six miles east OF
Georgetown, on the road leading from this
place to Placerville. A friend of ours from
that place informs us that their citizens are
making preparations for extensive and prof
table work there during the winter. or as
soon as the rails set in. Indeed, notwitb-
standing the character of the mines in that
vicinity, being principally surface diggings,
and, therefore, dependent in measure upon
the rainy season for their gold harvest, they
have nevertheless been doing a very fair bu-
siness during the past summer. Cayote, or
hill diggings, have been found in several
places that have proven immensely rich and
profitable. AT Stag Flat they have found
lead so rich and extensive that stockhold-
ers value their interests at from four to five
thousand dollars per share. AT Nelson's
Canon they have had diggings during the
last summer that have paid an average of
at least one hundred dollars per day The
proprietOrs have recently been prospecting
these claims, and are now satisfied that
through the ensuing season they may rea-
sonably anticipate q larger daily average of
gold than they have realized during the
summer
There is to be an instalment of officers for
a Division of the Sons of Temperance in
Spanish Flat within the course of a week
or two, after which number of the most
influential and respectable portion of the
citizens intend inscribing their names upon
the proudly waving" banners of tee-total-
ism.

HONOR TO THE DEAD.-True and dlsln-
terested courage should everywhere be hon
ored That man who in virtuous cause
can brave the grim monster Death, within
his very gates, is a man whose memory we
would perpetuate and honor; and, as belong
ing to this class, we mention the name OF
Stewart Holland, one of the engineers of
the lately wrecked steamer Arctic. "Du-
ring the time succeeding the discovery that
the ship must inevitably be lost, this gallant
officer, obeying instructions, employed his
time in constantly firing canon. Just be-
fore the sci went down, he approached
Captain Luce, shook him warmly by the
hand, and said, Captain, should you ever
live to reach the land let the world know
that there's one man who has done his duty
bravely.' The Captain, in recounting the
incident, said that "a more brave, coura-
geous and selfsacrifcing being he never
knew"
Noble and generous soul, thou art indeed
gone, but the memory of thy noble deeds
shall live forever; and, though thy heart has
become cold within its watery grave, the
warm spirit that once quickened its kindred
pulsations, is evenn now difusing its kind and
genial influences upon the hearts and minds
of intelligent millions. Mr.. Stewart Hol-
land was man who in the face of death
had the courage to do his duty.

CAVE VALLEY-This valley lays about a
mile and half to the right of the road lead
ing from Georgetown to Sacramento, and is
fifteen miles from the first mentioned place
We had the pleasure of visiting this place,
in company with several friends, on last
Saturday, and truly we were well repaid for
our pains in so doing. Indeed, the ride
through the varied and sublime scenery
which our mountains present at this season
of the year, would of itself amply repay any
one for twice the trouble in going, provided
they had within them the least appreciative
spark of the sublime and beautiful.
As for US, perhaps we love the mountains
too fondly. Perhaps we are too ready to
speak and sing their praises. Ifso, bear
with us; those nople hills and lovely valleys
are our weakness. Heaven has moulded our
feelings into such form that all their plain
tive, whispering music, finds in them ready
echo. But who does not love the noun
tains? Surely, reader, you are not the ex-
ception!
To return again to Cave Valley. It is a
lovely little spot nestled peacefully and qui-
etly in the embrace of the high mountains
bordering on the Middle Fork of the Amer
lean river. There are no special peculiari-
ties belonging to this valley to distinguish
it from many Others, with the exception OF
commanding the entrance to a very beauti-
full cave, from which the valley takes its
name. The entrance to this cave is suffi-
GENTLY large to admit of persons entering
it upon their feet, erect When the adven-
turer first enters this cave, he will probably
experience little feeling of disappointment,
but in passing through the first apartment
and entering the second, he will at once ac-
knowledge that it is very beautiful place
"a chamber worked out by the mysterious
hand of nature, The largest apartment of
this grotto, or cave, is perhaps thirty by
fifty feet, with roof twenty-five or thirty
feet from the floor or bottom of the cave
Besides the two main rooms, there are a
number of small ones extending from the
two already mentioned, the only effect of
which is to give variety to the whole; and
in this, after particular inspection, con-
sists the beauty of the cave. The roof and
sides of all these rooms are adorned with
stalactite Of lime and crystalized quarts,
many Of which hang in beautifully inverted
spires, formed, Of course, by the yearly drip
pings of water draining through the calca-
reous and mineral substances above the
grotto. Altogether this cave is well worth
visiting. Mr.. G. w. Lee, our gentlemanly
guide, informs US that it is the intention of
himselfan partner, who, by-the-way, are
the proprietors Of the cave and the hotel ad-
joining, to fit up this place expressly for the
accommodation of visitors

| Or WOMAN IN HER RIGHT PLACE.-The
following article which we take from Go
dey's Lady's Book, is certainly one of the
most sensible that we have seen written for
some time on this much mooted question:
"If, then" says the editor, 81 be asked
the proper sphere of woman, and where |
would place her, the answer is at hand
From her nature and organization, she
proves herself to be
bonn to dignity retreat,
Unseen to flourish, and 0gnknOtCn be great
81 would exempt her from the cares of
political life, while would invest her with
the greater honors of its wise and Just ad-
ministration. She would form those who
take with its powers, the responsibilities and
troubles of political office.
III man be the active governor, woman
is the true mother of the State. She it is
who is the real agent of the glory of man.
and hers the plastic hand to mould him for
the purposes of the nation. If we would
have rulers worthy their high vocation; if
we would have 'UiTtue and intellgence' as
the distinguishing attributes of our citizens
we must elevate the mental, the moral. the
religious condition of woman. While the
political husbandmen of other nations are
intent only upon preserving the weedy and
Worn-out distinctions of social rank. let our
aim be to cultivate the soil of the mind and
heart OF all classes. Let the praise of our
national tillage be this
Man is the nobler growth our soil supplies,
And souls are ripened in our western Skies

Crystal Palace Of HeaUen with the dead or
Improbable fruits of other climes, would
