THE LICENSE QuEsTiox-By r, ference to the
! letter Of NJ from Red Bluffs, it will be seen
that considerable ill-feeling has been occasioned
by the action of the District Attorney in bring
ing number of the traders of that place, to show
cause in this township, why they have permitted
six or eight days to pass after the last quarters
license had expired, without renewing the same.
We have not examined the law in regard to the
matter and therefore do not speak of the lega-
iy OF the action of the District Attorney. Indeed
we presume, according to The strict letter of the
statute, he is empowered to institute proceed
ings against merchant who shall trade single
day without the legal license, Nevertheless we
do think that before the Sheriff is sent af-
ter delinquents, they should be notified that
their licenses are due. We do not say it is the
duty OF the District Attorney to give this notice,
but 1t would certainly be very great accommo-
dation to the people were he or the County
Treasurer to attend TO this matter. By doing so
they would frequently themselves from do
ing wrong against those whose servants they
are. 1t cannot be supposed fer moment that
merchants, with thousands of dollars wor.h of
goods in their stores at all times, would ATTEMPT
purposely to avoid paying tax that can be so
easily collected by the officers of the law. No
business man would ever think Of such a thing
in the face of the certainty that, in addition t"
the regular license, he would surely he made TO
pay more than as much again in costs. In short,
the sum and substance of W hat we desre TO saw
is, that men whose licenses due, should be
notified OF the fact III some way by some officer,
before legal proceeding commenced against
Them. Otherwise gross wrong will frequently
be committed. On the other hand let'merchants.
traders. and other business men, see that theiI
licenses are regularly renewed.

GEN. WooL.-We have been informed that it
is the intention of the old veteran, Gen. Wool to
visit every military post in California and Oregon
during the approaching summer. We are re-
joiced to learn this fact as we are persuaded he
can only by personal observation, gain much of
the information SO important for him to know,
in regard to the relative condition of the Indians
and whites III this and other portions of his COM
mand
From the same source we learn that Colonel
Wright, commander of Fort Reading, has been
ordered to make reconnaissance of the Pitt
River country, with view to the establishment
of military post in the very midst of the nu-
merous warike bands of savages inhahitng that
section of our county. The actual presence ola
proper military force in the heart of the Pitt
River country, would without fail prove Ger.
tain check upon the thieving excursions of those
savages. The establishment of Fort Reading on
Cow Greek was a great mstake-a mistake
which, united with the neglect of Government
TO furnish the officers of that post with any prac
ficabe force of men, has thus far resulted to the
discredit of the military. Col. Wright, when
called upon for ass stance against the Indians
has seldom been able to comply, for the simple
reason that he had not the force at his command
This state of things we have been assured, how
ever, will soon be obviated.

A SECOND JOAN OF ARC.-The fol-
lowing is from the Paris correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette: "a curious
story is told at this moment of a second
Joan of Arc who has appeared in the
Turkish army. A girl named Cara, a
descendant of Solomon Pacha, former
Governor Of Moroch, in Asia, arrived
lately at the city of Adams, on her way
to Constantinople. She marched at the
head Of corps of irregular cavalry
Many persons tried to persuade her to
abandon the strange enterprise; but no
thing shook her courage or her resolution
to combat the enemies Of her county
Some persons thought to intimidate her
by saying if she was determined to re-
main in the army she must give trial of
her skill by an assault at arm.
The Governor of Adana, who was in
formed of the fact, ordered that the young
girl should be brought to him, and he ask
ed her if she still persisted in her resolu-
ton. She responded in the affirmative,
and added that she would engage will
ingly in the trial at arms to which they
said shemu submit provided they would
give her for adversary the bravest and
the most vigorous of the 1000 cavaliers of
which the detachment was composed.
The combat took place Immediately, and,
after a contest of some minutes, the ca.
valier chosen for her adversary was dis
armed by the young girl, and declared
vanquished. The Governor then ordered
that she should be regularly enrolled,
counted her down 1900 piasters, (S75)
and gave the rank of officer to her broth
er, who served in an inferior grade.''

JOKING ON A SERIOUS SUBJECT.

The Boston Mail says % a servant girl
in Augusta, Maine, was taken suddenly
i'll, and being conveyed to the poor-house,
was delivered of three female infants"
Only think of it; sending a servant
girl in such situation to the poor-house:
a servant girl who had, no doubt, been
faithful in the performance of her duties
until exhausted nature prevented her do
ing more. We daily read of cases of this
kind in Northern papers. In the South,
when any thing of this kind happens,
whether slave or free born, the faithful
servant is nursed and provisioned for as
a member of the family in which she
lives until restored to health. And vet
we are daily treated by the Northern
press to highly seasoned dishes of South
ern barbarity.-W Washington Stn.

If You WANT Your TALENTS APPRB-
CIATED, GET RICH.-That tells the whole
story in a nutshell. If you wish to be
anybody in the estimation of mankind,
get rich. No matter how pure your mo-
rality, how lofty your aspirations, how
disciplined your mind, unless you have a
fortune YOU will never be loved, noticed,
orrespected. or But ifyour ancestor chanced
to be q miser, and thus left you a goodly
heritage, you are fawned on, courted and
flattered. And if you are real knaye,
or blockhead, its Of no consequence, for
you are rich. The blind idolatry ofwealth,
the worship Of mammono is enough to
make an honest man blush for his race.

SPIRITUALIsM IN BosToN.-Some of the

SPIRITUALIsM IN BosToN.-Some of the
Bostonians carry their faith in Spiritualism
to great extent. A gentleman whose
wife was in the practice of attending the
Circles" insisted that she should leave
off such nonsense. The mediums" took
revenge on his skepticism, by pretending
that the spirit of the lady's father wrote
that her husband had dagger in the
chamber, and at certain hour would
take her life, if not prevented, and advised
that three watchmen should be sent for
without delay. The advice was acted
on, and three watchman were placed out
side of the chamber; one of them armed
with an axe, ready to burst the door open
at the slightest cry for help. Hearing
voices outside, the husband opened the
door, and inquired the cause of such an
assemblage. Explanations were given.
To allay their fears, he invited the watch
men to enter the chamber and search
every part of it, which they did, but
found neither pistol or dagger. The
spirits, however, insisted that murderous
weapons were concealed, and urged the
watchman to remain. Unable to reason
with the spiritualists, and unwilling to
create more excitement, the husband per-
mitted his wife to rejoin the mediums in
another room, while he retired to rest.

U The Albany Evening Transcript
recently stated that the wife of Santa
Ana was q native of Westerlo, Albany
county-a Miss Lapaugh. This was an
obvious error, the wife of the Mexican
chief being known as a Mexican lady of
Spanish extraction. He married her some
ten or twelve years ago, when she was
not out of her teens. She is represented
as very beautiful, highly accomplished,
and of most commanding presence. A
correspondent of an Oswego paper gives
the following history of the marriage Of
the Westerlo lady ' r".-,0 a.
Some time between 1920 and 1926,

quent as ''an suspicious happy event" has
since been in England, Don Lorenzo de
Zavala, Governor of the City of Mexico,
left the country for State reasons and spent
two or three years in the United States,
during which time he wrote history of
his travels in this country, which was
highly spoken of for its impartiality and
correctness. During short stay at Al
bany he met and become enamored with

deal, and frequently expressed a strong
presenti-nent that she would one day be
elevated to high position in life Zavala
married her and took her with him to
tIexicO, on the success of his party in .
new revolution. He was afterwards sent
to France, as Mexican Minister, when his
beautiful Heidelberg wife, with the aid
of French teacher, received some addi-
ton to good country school education,
On a subsequent visit to this country,
Zavala realized large fortune in the sale
of Texas lands, and finally settled on q
rich plantation on the Rio Trinidad, where
he afterwards died, leaving his widow
with four children. A fine river in Texas

temned- Riches arc coveted, sought for,
