purpose of curing diseases particularly those of Il

city, who has for several years been known as a
successful practitioner. is the Physician. The in
stute has been established at the earnest request
of some of the best medical men of this city, and

fortunate, will no longer be believed.
This is in fact the only safe asylum in the State
for those who through shame, are suffering tor
lures, mental and physical, which the Dr. ski

A VETERAN FROM SEBAsTAPoL.-
There has arrived in Los Angeles a
Frenchman named Sanveur Marchan-
die, who fought at the taking Of the
Malakof. The history of this man is
somewhat curious. He was at the seige
of Rome, in the battles of Africa, and
afterwards served in the Crimea in the
third regiment of Zouaves. His term
of service having expired, he left
France for California with capital of
$3.50, to pay his travelling expenses
From Santa Fe to Los Angeles he trav-
elled on foot and alone.

a treaty between the United States and

maritime nation America will be obliged to
keep squadron in the Persian Gulf in
order to defend Persia against the enterpri-
ses of whatever maritime nation may attack
herr secondly, that the Americans are to
possess the right Of having their ships of war

ELECTION EXCITEMENT IN MARYsvILLE.
The Marysville express" describes the
excitement in that city, when the news of the
arrival of the Golden Age with the grand
result was telegraphed, in the following
style:
The receipt of news by the Golden Age,
caused more exctements in our city than we
have ever before witnessed. The Democrats
were sanguine that Buchanan had been sue
cesstul, but the old adage that there is many
a slip between the cup and lip was not lost
upon them-they were at first curious, and
then anxious and finally they became as
much excited as any.
The Know Nothings were expecting moth
ing-except it was save bet or so, perhaps
and they were not disappointed.
The Republicans were eager at the first,
and became intensely excited as the delay
caused the subject to be more canvassed. |
was curious to witness their countenances.
For the first time we ascertained that they
actually expected to win the election. The
result was worse than thousand wet ban
kets-it was literally wetting them down.

the more he is concerned to bring Others

The GREAT REPUBLIo.-This monster ship
has returned to New York, after an absence
OF nearly two years, during which time she
has been employed in the French govern
ment transportation service, during the war
in the Crmea. Some idea of her capacity
may be gathered from the fact that on one
of her trips she carried 497 cavalry horses,
for whose accommodation the two between
decks were partitoned into stalls, besides
over 500 troops and the provisions and
forage necessary for the voyage. On her
last trip from Sehastopo she brought to Mar
seilles over 5000 infantry, besides her own
crew and large corps of cooks, servants and
walters, required for the commissary depart
ment, and this, too, with her lower hold full
of guns of great size, wheels, baggage, and
the necessary water and provisions. In
every port she has visited she has been
thronged with people of all classes, who have
expressed their admiration of her enormous
size and beauty.-N. y. Post.
