CALIFORNIA SHEPHERD DOG.

The San Jose Tribune gives the following in
teresting account of the fidelity and vigilance of
the California shepherd dog: '' 7'~' ''t
Many of the rancheros of this valley send out
their sheep daily under the charge and protection
of their dogs alone, and feel assured that in the
evening they will be returned safely to the fold.
Day after day, and night after night, nay year
after year, and through whole life time the
faithful sheep dogs are found devoting every hour
of their existence, with faith that knows no
change, to the important trust reposed in them by
their owners.
Whether beneath the scorching rays of the sum-
mer's sun, or amidst the storms and chilling
winds Of winter-whether fed to repletion, or en-
during the keen pangs of hunger, he cheerfully
goes each morning to the performance of his daily
task--leading his flock over valley and mountain,
guarding them from the attacks of all enemies
throughout the day, and at the approach of night
returning them to their corals. No persuasions,
allurements or sufferings, can seduce him from
his vigilance or watchfulness. As the first note
of danger falls upon his quick ear, his defiant
is heard, and he at once throws himself between
his flock and the approaching enemy, to fight
their battles and cover their retreat. And many
hard and gallant battles they are forced to fight
with the wolf, the coyote, and dogs that have ac-
quired the habit of killing sheep. We have seen
many an old veteran sheep dog bearing scars ola
hundred we'll fought battles in defence of his
flock. If driven to the sad alternative, they would
perish beside their flock with hunger before they
would touch one of them. Often have we paused
in admiration to watch these faithful and saga
cious animals in the performance of their tasks,
and thought that if man would only perform the
trust repOsed in him with the same unwavering,
unchanging 6delity-would stand unawed, true,
and firm amidst surrounding dangers, unmoved
by the allurements of ambition, and the seduc-
tive influences of fattery, unbought by gain-how
much more just would be his claim to superiority
and dominion over created things.

Horrible Treatment and Murder of a Slave in New
Orleans.

Horrible treatment and Murder Of q Slave in New
Orleans.
From the New Orleans Delta, Nov. 81.
An inquest was held yesterday by the Coroner
on the body Of little slave girl named Leda,
aged thirteen years, the property of MIR. Lachau-
mette, found dead in house on Rampant street.
After post mortem examination, and hearing
the evidence of several witnesses the Jury return
ed the following verdict ''That the deceased
came to her death by cruel and inhuman punish
ment inflicted upon her person with cowhide,
while sick, by the hands of Mrs. John Dimitrv
and Mrs. Deitz, her mother.' The testimony be-
fore the jury, showed that the little girl had been
in the employ of Mrs. Dimitry about three months.
during which time she and her mother had been
in the constant habit of beating and ill-treating
her. The body OF the child was cut and SCARED
from head to foot in a most horrible manner
four days ago she got her last whipping, and was
put to bed-being very sick with the worms. Dr.
iurp:n was sent for, who treated her for worms,
but she died on Sunday morning.
After the jury had given their verdict, Doctors
c. De Valetti, Chas. Turpin, Chas. FACET and
Mercier gave certificate, in which they state
s. that the death of the slave must be attributed
to the presence of worms but that the ill-treat-
ment has pro lucel that emaciation and weakness
of her condition as to render her unable to hold
the crisis provoked by worms" 1t was in evil
dence before the jury, also, that the child had
been half starved al the time she was with Mrs.
D:mitry; that is ravcnous was her appetite, ow-
ing to the worms on her stomach, that she would
eat everything she could steal or find and this
stealing of victuals was doubtless the cause of her
being SO frequently whipped. An affidavit was
made before Recorder Ramos charging Mrs. Dim
TRY, and her mother, Mrs. Deitz with murder
They were arrested, and brought before the Re-
corder, but, on the request of counsel, were COM
mitted for trial before the First District Court.

THE RUSSIAN LOAN TAKEN.-Advices from st.
Petersburg state that the Russian loan has been
taken at st: Pctersburgh, by the house of Stieg-
lietz, one of the most eminent banking establish
ments OF the continent. Mr.. Stieglietz took the
whole amount fifty millions of silver roubles,
or about 49,, 100000 in l-2 per cent, stock, on
his own risk, at the rate of 90. The loan already
sells actively at SO at St. Petersburgh. FOREIGN
capitalists, such as the Hopes, in Amsterdam, the
Rothschlds, in Frankfort, and others, have bought
a large amount, and a house in Wall street, New
York, is in possession of the official imperial pa
pers connected with the operation. The story
told about it is, that the loan was made onlv to
give the lie to the assertion, of French and Eng
lish newspapers, that the Russian treasury does
not enjoy any credit in Russia. 1t is likewise sta
ted that Mr.. Takowlef, of St. Petersburgh. one
OF the richest owners of mines in the world, whose
accumulated wealth amounts to some sixty or
eighty millions of dollars wished to take this loan
with his private capital but this was refused BY
the Emperor, in order not to give an occasion to
Misrepresentation.

The PosITIoN OF THE ALLIEs.-The Allies in
the Crimea have realized the fact that from being
besiegers they have, by the immensely superior
force of the Russians, become in turn the besieg-
ed. They are reduced to the defensive. The
London Times says:
I" A re embarkation is out Of the question:
We have not the means of carrying our allies with
us, and it were better to sacrifice every man and
every gun than meanly and basely desert them
indeed, were We alone, such an operation in the
iace OF such an enemy is not to be thought Of
however grave situation may be We spa
red the fluctuations Of doubt and the agonies of
uncertain councils. There is nothing for the Al
hed armies IN the Crimea but to maintain by their
valor the position they have taken up, or to per-
ish under the weight Of overwhelming numbers.
The hackneyed alternative " to CONQUER or die,"
was never put before an army in a more peremp-
tory shape. This is their duty. and we doubt not
they Will do it. They know how to conquer and
they know how to die.''

LOVE, ROMANCE AND MARRIAcE.-An affair of
rather romantic character, caused by love, oc-
CURED in this city this week, and created some
sensation among those who were knowing to it..
On Sunday, young man, accompanied by Il
young lady, not over ''sweet seventeen" stopped
at a hotel in the lower part of the city, and ap-
piled for apartments for two, which was given
them. They remained there that and the succeed
ing day, but not without creating some suspicion
on the part of the landlady, who, it appears,
watched them more closely than the proprietor Of
the house. Finding they were looked upon with
suspicion, they concluded to leave the place, and
on being presented with his bill the gentleman re-
fused to liquidate it, because he considered it an
exorbitant charge.
The proprietor refused to make the reduction
demanded, and he refused to pay it. 1t finally
resulted in both lady and gentleman being locked
up in the station house for the night. On the
following morning, they were brought before the
police justice, when the whole transaction was
related. Matters, however, seemed to have as
sumed different aspect, and the result may be
beneficial. The Justice, who is we'll known for
his parental feelings, and can talk glibly, yet can
didly and forcibly to the errng, took the matter
in hand and lectured them in such manner that
they finally became penitent, and willing to re-
trace their steps. In justification of his conduct,
the young man said that he had lived in the ad-
joining county, and he came here with the cxpec-
tation of obtaining an amount of money that
was due to him, but, as yet, had been unable to
see the person he came in search of.
He was engaged to be married to the young
lady by his side; her mother knew it, and that he
intended to marry her as soon as he could get the
money. The young lady, fair country girl,
also lives in a neighboring county. She is one of
that untutored, unsuspecting kind who, knowing
no guile herself, suspected it not in others, but,
by accident, had got into strange place-the
police office.
After mature deliberation and reflection, they
were convinced that there was only one course
they could pursue with honor. They were invi-
ted into the side room, when the justice in the
presence of two policemen, bound them together
in the bands Of matrimony. No fee was asked,
their countenances, blessing on their lips to the
justice, and their marriage certificate by their
Y. Democrat.
