| CALrFoRN1A.-At the recent election in the
state Of California the people decided against
the prohibiting liquor law by small majority.
Says the San Francisco Herald: Fse
eff the idea had been preached few years
ago, that the day was near at hand when the
people of California would vote to sustain such
a law, it would have been secuted as the CHI
mera Of some mad enthusiast, and yet at the
election just held, very nearly majority Of
those who expressed their wishes upon the sub
iect did so VOTE. In fact, outside of San Fran
cisco, the majority throughout the state is in
favor of the lawi 1t is noticeable fact, that will
astonish those abroad, that nearly all the min
ing counties voted to adopt the law, while the
agricultural counties, with scarcely an excep-
ton, polled large majority againstt. Thus,
in Ell Dorado, the most populous Of the mining
counties, the vote stood, for the law, 2877-
against it, 1905; in Nevada, Yes, 1683-No,
/ 1884, in Tuolumme, Yes 134O-No, 1895; in
Sierra, Yes, l797-No. 997, in Trinity Yes,
655-No, 4s8;in Placer, Yes, 1741-No, 578,
and SO on. 1t is only in the counties in which
the cities are situated that heavy maiorities
were cast against the law, and it is the vote of
those counties that defeats it. What will the
eastern press say when they learn that the
miners Of California, who have always been re-
garded land but too often represented as set
of hard-drinking, card playing. reckless adven-
turers, had voted to prohibit the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors and to suppress gambling? How
their eyes will open when they receive the news!

We learn, says the Washington Union, that
Mr.. Townsend Glover, the naturalist, who was
sent by the commissioner of patents to the
| southern states for the purpose Of investigating
the nature and habits Of the insects injurious
and beneficial to vegetation. will return to
| Washington about the last of this month. It
gives us pleasure to state thathe was successful
in the accomplishment of his mission. He has
had several attacks of fever during his absence.
In a letter, speaking of Florida, Mr.. G. says:
1.-The factis, / like Florida very well, and would
be perfectly contented to live here were it not
for the insects, which, as Wells says, t'have
jaws to tear, pincers to nip, stings to pierce or
claws to scratch
Mr.. Glover appears to be astonished at the
audacity displayed by the mosquitoes in dis
turbing the slunbers Of Pierce office holder.

The DEMOCRATIC PARrY.-In taking the po-
sition we have in relation to our democratic
friends in the free states, who express themselves
favorable to our southern policy, we do not wish
to be misrepresented, and made TO affiliate with
the national democracy of the north in general.
We have expressed our views clearly enough
for all to understand them.
We have on several occasions recorded them
against the policy Of the state relying on any
national convention, and our anxious wish for
union among ourselves as essential to efficient
action We wish to avoid division among our
selves on this or any other question. but while
we desire to give our friends abroad every en-
enlargement and support by not acting preci-
pitately on this question. still be forced upon
us now, we will occupy the same position as
heretofore. against sending delegation on the
part of the state to Cincinnati. Carolinian.
The above is merely reiteration Of the SEN
timents expressed by every democratic states
rights paper in South Carolina.
BITTER WoRps.-The whitening extract be-
low is taken from the recent letter Of D s. Die
kinson to the New York hardshell democracy.
Dickinson regards the Pierce administration
and its party in New York as an out and out
abolition concern:
.Let fusion, with her grim concomitants,
tremble as she plots her treason, and seeks to
build up her per6dious strength upon national
disturbance and the ruin of the constitution;
and. above all, let that precious band Of bread
and butter patriots Pierce's office holding de-
mocrats) remember that the people have day
for their fasting and hnmiliation.''

swell in that as well as the other streams, has
been caused BY the late heavy rains that have
fallen along our principal water courses. The

Of Great Britain or America. In both ou-
mother country and this, there is too much of
what we may call "snobism.n ~ In female At

to fancy that the more they spend on dress,
the prettier they look. Accordingly one sees

proper harmony between the cOmplexi and

male attractions than even American ladies
seem particularly TO comprehend. Many a
wife looks prettier, if she would but know il.
in her neat morning frock Of calico, than in
the incOngruOus pile of fncry which dignifes
the name Of full dress. Many an unmarried
female first wins the heart of her future bus-
band In some simple unprete aiding attire,
which, If consulted about, she would pro
nounce too cheap except for ordinary wear.
but which, by its accidental suitability TO be,
figure, face and carriage, idolized her youth
wonderfully. If the sex would study taste in

would have no reason TO regret it. At present
the extravag ances OF American females is pro-
verbal. We wish we could say az much of
their elegance in the same line
