The most stupid and ugly fashions always last
the longest. How many years have the long

months bonnets have been flying from the head
and So probably they will be for twelve months
more. However, the bonnets simply ridicu

be said for them. They are convenient to aged
ladies. They enable them to enjoy, without at
tracing remark, the comfort of list slippers and
laced stockings and rollers for their poor old an
kles They render it possible for young ladies
to wear bluchers and high-ows, thereby avoid
ing damp feet, and to save washing by making
pair of stockings last week. So they will,
doubtless, continue to be while the laws of
fashion dictated by spay footed beauty, or

apology cannot be made by hanging sleeves
They not only absurd but inconvenient They
are always getting in the way, and in the sauce,

1t may be said your wife has no business TO help
potatoes-that there ought to be footmen in at

should not wear the sleeves. But ladies must,

our Army and Navy oifcered would not be
endured even in despotic France. Let the com

we should always have abundance of brave,
energetic, intelligent American soldiers, instead
of mainly Irish and Germans. Pay the men the
fair value of their services and the villainy now
practiced in Recruiting would be needless Pen

rest of U.s. Such are the outlines of Republi-

filed out and the system itself reduced to practice?

ISADORE.
By BENZ. S. PARKER

M Db'S' d ahnhe'
When the star-gems over-sprinkle
All the canopy of night,
You have seen them gently twinkle
With soft and mellow light
Thus mild beaming evermore
Were the eyes of Isadore.
Whence her happy spirit, laughing,
Shone in joyous constancy,
AS we gazed upon her quafing
Soul pure draughts of ecstacy-
For her soul was full of love
From the spirit-world above.
You have seen the moonlight playing
On some placid waters breast,
While the sun n-beams yet were straying
In the golden tinted west
Thus the smiles play'd gently o'er
The sweet face Of Isadore.
Fell her wavey ringlets flowing
Ger neck of snowy white,
Shading cheeks, forever glowing,
Rosy, ike the morn's first light,
Whilst rich poetic store
Was the mind of Isadore.
Light her tread was as the falling
Of the leaves in autumn's time,
When the gentle dead seem calling
OF our souls, in strains sublime,
To yon bright supernal sphere.
Where forever more are yelling
Fountains of eternal joy
Earthly pleasures far excelling,
Heavenly pure without alloy,
And where floats the symphony
OF angelic minstrelsy.
Sweet her voice was as the ringing
OF the music-tones we love,
And her song was like the singing
OF the warheIs in the grove
And her lifetime flowed along
Like one summers day of song.
And her lips were never bearing
OF deceitfuness and guile,
While her face seemed ever wearing
OF bright seraphic smile
Mild and lowly one was she,
Like the Lamb of Calvary.
And when starry lamps were swinging
In the vaulted blue of night,
Came an Angel, downward wiuging.
On his pinions snowy white,
And her spirit bore away
To the realms of endless day.
Then in anguish bent we mourning
Ger her cold and lifeless clay,
With our hearts all deeply yearning
For brighter holier day,
There to meet in He $ven above
With the lsadore We love.

Nevada County Lime,


We believe it is not generally known that
in Nevada County, there exists one of the
most extensive, and valuable lime stone
Lodges in the state Of California. This ledge
is situated on the south side of the South
I 1uba, at the Illinois Ferry, six and a half
miles from Nevada, and directly on the road
leading from that place to MOore's Flat
This ledge. which was first discovered about
eighteen months since, has recently passed
into the hands of Mr.. Osmar Darst, who is
now prepared to supply any demand that
may be made upon him for lime.
The ledge is about 200 feet thick and stands
out from the surrounding rock in huge bench
es running up to the height of 800 feet. The
kiln is situated directly upon the ledge and
In such position that the rock to be burned
is passed directly from the hands of the quar-
ry-men to the mouth of the kiln.
The most remarkable. and valuable feature
connected with this ledge is the presence of a
VEN OF Cement Rock, about fifteen feet in
thickness, which runs directly through the
center OF the main ledge, continuing equal
III height with it as far as it has been explor-
ed. This rock produces a most excellent
water cement. which has been pronounced
by competent judges superior to anything Of
the kind now in use. Both the lime rock
and the cement, are ineXhaustibIe in oman
tlty, and so situated that the lime can he
deilVered at the ledge for one quarter less
cost than at any other locality in the state.
Inc pr0prletOrs are now turning out ahont
10 tons per month, which is selling in this
place at $3.50 per barrel.
1t is the intention of the proprietor to mt
up'extensive machinery in the spring for the
purpose of manufacturing cement. The ma
chluery now contemplated will turn ont 200
barrels per day; and lime will be produced
sufficient to supply the fullest demand. This
cement will be delivered in Sacramento at
! $40 per barrel The entire market for this
State will probably he supplied from This
/ locality, SO soon as it is sufficiently miro
duced to he generally known The pecnIiar
quality of stone for cement is found at M
