shortly, while he is in Washington. :
There are dozen aspirants for it,-al
new men of course. And all the appli
ances of outbidding each other and him
are being cssaged we take it, just nov
in California that being the latest fash
ion Of electioneering for seat in the
Senate of the United States. We have
kept our eyes on his numerous contests
for popular, congressional, executive ant
Legislative favor, for many years past
and have rarely known him to be trip
ped up. In this case, if set aside fol
some norus homo, it will be Californi;
(rather than Gwin) that will be tripped
up. As, for all practical purposes, SC
far as the intesests of the State are con.
cerned, his presence in the Senate is
really worth more than would be the
votes and labors of ten new California
Senators, if the State could be allowed
so many, as something of an equivalent
for the loss of the man who ' toats y
the grizzly bear and cub.

HOW TOfGET HUSBANDS.
Nelly Gray gives the following sensi-
BILE advice to girls. Those who expect
to get husbands worthy Of the name, will
do well to read it twice over and profit
by it, 81.
''Girls, you want to get married,
don't you' All, what natural thing it
is for young ladies to have such hank
ering for the stcrner sex! 1t is weak
ness that woman has, and for this rea-
son she is called the weaker sex. Well,
if you want to get married, don't for
conscience sake act like fools about it.
Don't 60 into fit Of the nips every time
you see hat and pair of whiskers.
Don't get the idea into your heads that
you must put yourself in the way of ev-
cry young man in the neighborhood in
order to attract notice, for if you don't
run after the men, they will run after
you. Mark that.
A husband hunter is the most detes-
table of all young ladies. She is full oe
starch and Fuckers, she puts on mlny
false airs, and she is so nice that she ap-
pears ridiculous in the eyes Of every de-
cent person. She may generally be
found at meeting, coming in, ofs course,
about the last one, always at q social par
ties, and invariably takes the front seat
at concerts. She tries to be the belle of
the place, and thinks she is. Poor girl
You are fitting yourself for an old maid,
just as sure as the Sabbath comes on
Sunday. nf
Men will flirt with you, and aattcr
you, simply because they love to do it;
but they have no more idea of making
you wife than they have Of committing
suicide. fl was young man, I would
have no more to do with such fancy
than I would with rattle-snake.
Now, girls, let Nelly give you piece
Of her advice; and she knows from ex-
perience, if you practice it, you will gain
a reputation for being worthy girls, and
stand fair chance of getting respecta-
bic husbands. Its all well enough that
you learn to finger the piano, work en-
broidery, study grammar, ETC., but don't
neglect letting grandma, or your dear
mother teach you how to make bread
and get meal Of victuals good enough
for king.-No part Of a housekeepcr's
duties should be neglected. If you do
not marry a wealthy husband, you viii
need to know how to do such work, and
if you do, it will be no disadvantage for
you to know how to ovrsee servant
girl, and instruct her to do these things
as you would have them done. Inthe
next place, don't pretend to do what
you are not. Aifecta;ion is be most
dcspicable Of accomplishments, and
will only cause sensible people to laugh
a. you. No one but fool will be caught
by affectation-it has transparent skin,
easily to be seen through.
Press plain, but neatly. Remember
