Railroad Poetry.

A correspondent OF the bIoOfne county
RfpaJkican describes his .jaunt over the SYRIA
cuse and Binghampton Railroad, from Cort-
land in the following poetical strain:
So much wrote i'll Cortlands bounds
and would have finished there had not the
down train whistle resounded in the air. SO
shaking Fairchid by the hand, WHO said
come up again, | bid fairwel to every fear,
and jumped upon the train. Rushing round
the hill side, darting DER the plain, over
rivers under the roads. Van Bergen drove his
train. The moon threw bright etfugent
rays, on each small rippes crest; the river
seemed ribband stretched along the mea-
dow's breast; the evening wind came stealing
through the ear with gentle sigh and brought
a cinder from the engine, spank into my eye;
few and short were the prayers said, and
spoke not word of SORROW, but rubbed at
my eve till made it red, and knew 'twould
be sore on the morrow. We soon got home
at the rate we ran, at an hour llst right for
retiring, and down froin mis- post came the
engine man, and the fireman ceased his
firing,
And thus | too will cease with this.
moral to the tale-be always sure to ''mind
your eve,n when riding on rail,
JUpIcIAL DEcIsIoN.--|udgeB Barber decided
in the District Court of Sacramento county
on Wednesday. says the State Journal, that
the eases Of Insolvency do not come within
the jurisdiction Of the District Courts. He
consequently dismissed a ease of that kind.
The matter will probably be leid before the
Supreme Court for their dscrsioa. Should
it be SO finally decided, msolvents who have
received their final discharge at sac District
Court, will find themselves in regenerated
difficulties e

The uniform of the caaored soldiers Of Ii
IBERIA, as prescribed by President Roberts,
must make a splendid show in contrast with
ebony; yellow leather gaiters-spatterdashers
from the ancle bons to the knee, large red
cloth pantaloons down to the gaiters, iron
gray cloth short coats with red lares;' blue
cloth wastcoat; and red felt caps with blue
strings.

A Temperance Lecturer, descantin@ on the
essential and purfyiRg qualities of cold water
remarked, as a knock down argument, that
''whqn the world became so corrupt thatt he
Lord could do nothing else with it, he was
obliged to give it q thorough sopsing in cold
water" "Yes, re piled a wag "but it killed
every darhed critter on the face Of tEe airth."

A White Digger.

A Correspondent Of the plavervllle Ameri-
can, SAYS he has discovered a bigger Indian
woman near the Sink of the Humboldt who
is perfectly white. He remarks I'VE had
gone at least eight miles, when on turning d.
short spur Of mountain, we came suddenly
in view Of one Of those small, elevated, though.
green and beautiful mountain vallies, entirely
hid from previous view by surrounding noun
tains; towards the further end of the valley,
less than mile distant, was a small ranch
eria Of Diggers. All the men, save two or
three old ones, and one, totally blind, were
away, leaving their women at their allotted
tasks or doing nothing. On our near ap-
proach we were surprised to find among them,
a perfectly white woman but who, on a
closer inspection, proved to be perfectly
formed and featured Digger woman Her
parents are both Diggers, and the mother.
for we saw her, even darker than the average,
and yet their offspring presenting the strange
anomaly OF a perfectly white woman, appa-
rently not more than twenty years Of age,
large and robust Her skin, for not one of
them all was clad in enough Of covering to
be an apology, was as white as their filthy
mode of living would admit of while her
hair straight aud coarse as The veriest digger,
was also purely white. In addition to this.
the entire iris Of both her eyes, wasa scarlet,
or bright red color. In truth, she was Just
what Il Psychologist would call an albino.
he production of one of natures strangest
freaks This same woman has twice visited
Ragtown upon the Carson River being al
ways described as the white Digger with
the red eyes"
