BG@ We think the following lines addressed
to an editor, one of the coolest pieces of impu-
dence that we have seen for many months ?
How should an editor know?
When lady gets stalled in gutter,
That runs in populous street,
Like fly that is stranded in butter)
And has to uncover her feet;
AS gently the calico lifts she,
And gives it her graceful sweep,
Is a "feller' to blame when he chances
To give at her ankles peep?
Just to see if they're thick or they're thin
Mr.. Editor is it sin?
Or when a plump bosom's uncovered
With delicate Hontan lace,
Whose whiteness like blooming lilies,
Contrasts with the rose of the face,
Like the artificial flowers in flower,
(If may be allowed so to speak,
Should fellow be checked if he's curious
Within the lace meshes to peep?
Just to judge of the contents within
Mr.. Editor, is it sin?

CALIFORNIA JUSTICE. Spirit
has California correspondent, who re-
lates the following occurrence as exempli-
flying the manner in which justice was dis
pensed with, in the palmy days of Cali
fornia, when Alcaldes, elected by the mi
ners of the district, ruled supreme
An individual of the name of Green
had borrowed some forty dollars of another
of the soubriquet Of ,Shortez.
Now Shorter could not obtain the money,
though Green had struck lead and was
known to have dust. Green was large,
powerful man, but no grit, and Shorter
offered to fight him for the money, but
Green backed water.
Well, the claim was brought before the
Alcalde, on cold, rainy, dismal evening,
and as there was some considerable talk
about it, the boys gathered in to see the
fun-rather motley appearing crowd,
with long boards and hair, patched pants,
rimless hats, toeless boots, etc. The Hon.
Judge was unwell, but sat up in his bunk,
with red Jandana tied round his head
The case was clearly proven. The alcalde
decided that Green must pay, and if he
would not, committee of three were to
search him or his cabin and get the money,
and also the court costs. Upon this Shor-
tez deliberately rose and said, "Your
honor, will forgive the debt, and pay the
costs besides, if he will only give me a
hight, SO that | can achale him."
0reen, when he heard this, squared
himself, thinking that the COURTROOM would
be sacred; but Shortez pitched in at once
and clinched. Several, myself included,
sprang in to separate them, when, in deep
tones and waving the bandana, the Judge
exclaimed, Gentlemen, gentlemen, stand
back! If the parties lcish to effect a COM
promise, don't interfere" And we stood
back. Saw Green whipped in few Sec
onds, and after that obliged to pay the
funds.

N A Card.-A publication lately ap-
peared in the San Francisco Herald instigated
by representations from w. T. McDermott, who
recently held the Postofice at his place. Cross
ing of the Calaveras, Mokelumne Hill Road
Said publication sets FORTH among other things,
that the Office has been removed from neigh
borhood which deprives a thickly settled scope
of country some twenty miles in extent, of post
al benefits. 1t also says that the office is now
located at house of bad repute, kept as gam
bling and a dance house. and general head
quarters of rowdies. All this l deny. The pub
lication spoken of, also says that petition has
been forwarded to the Department to have the
Office re-established at McDermotts, signed by
near one hundred names Now, the truth is,
most of those who signed this petition have
seen myself, and have their statement that they
did not sign petition for the re-establishment
of the Office at McDermott's but with the un-
derstanding that the Office was to be brought
above McDermotts, or at least nearer their set
tlement; and that if the petition sets forth what
is claimed for it, it was without their knowledge
or consent The whole statement which ap
peared in the Herald of the 29th of November,
is false. A baser fabrication could not well be
imagined than that regarding the present loca-
ton of the Office. l deem further denial of
this libel unnecessary, as the character of the
man who perpetrates it is too well known to
have any effect upon my standing in commu-
nifty where have resided for years.

"QUIz," the correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune furnishes the following:
You are all fond of cracking jokes at
the expense of Arkansas; now here is one
on your State, absolutely true I got it
from an eye witness:
The District Court in one of your North
ern parishes was in session-'twas the first
day of court; time, after dinner. Law
yers and others had dinned and were sit
ting out before the hotel, and long lank.
unsophisticated countryman came up and
unceremoniusly made himself one of 'em.
and remarked: "Gentlem, 1 wish you
would 90 on with this court, for I want to
90 home-I left Betsey looking out. -
All said one of the lawyers, " and pray,
sir, what detains you at court?"
"Why, sir" said the countryman, 'T' m
fotch here as jury, and they say if I go
home they will have to find me, and they
moutn't do that, as I live good piece.
What jury are you on 7" asked
lawyer.
What jury" 2"
!" Yes, what jury? Grand or traverse
jury?"
Grand or travis jury? dad-fetched if |

"Well," said the lawyer, did the
judge charge your
swell, squire" said he, "that little
fellow that sits up in the pulpit, and kin
der bosses it over the crowd, gin us talk,
but don't know whether he charged any
thing or not"
The crowd broke up in roar of laugh
ter, and the Sheriff called court.

Ladies, Stockings.

A clothes-lne in yonder garden
Goes wandering among the trees,
And on it two very long stockings
Are kicking the evening breeze;
And lot of fancy dry-goods,
Whose nature | cannot define,
Are wildly and merrly Topping
About that same old line.
And very sly young lady
At the parlor window sews;
And rather conclude, if you tried it,
You'd find she'd fit into them hose.
She's only halflength picture,
Fore-shortened below the breast
But the dry-goods which dance on the tight-rope
Out yonder, just make up the rest
So dream-like she seems-so gentle,
You'd think her too good for earth;
And feel that holier spirit
Is banishing vulgar mirth
TO its worldly home-by jingol
What flourish that muslin throws,
And what an uncommonly taper
Those stockings go off at the toes
0, eyes like the sky when it's bluest
., hair like the night without stars!
Q, maiden and hose I can't belle it
Ye still draw my thoughts over "tharl"
The lady alone is substantial
The clothes but fancy ideal,
Yet, some how or other, confess it,
I've mixed up the sham and the real.
Q, Lowell you're the same old sixpence,
With the poet, the muff or the brick
You go with rush, like a rocket,
But come down at last like stickl
And let love-thoughts be lofty or lowly,
Platonic, or fash, opne
That they all, like new dry-goods and stockings,
Belong to the very same line!

Was ever yet wanting in hose

Circular.
10 the Citizens of Stockton and The
Southern Mines.
STOCKTON, Dec. 18th, 1856.

In compliance with call as published
inthe Stockton papers, a meeting of Gen
tlemen interested in the developments of
the natural History of the State, was con-
vened at the County Court House on
Thursday evening, December 11th 1856.
And as the object of such an organiza-
tion does not appear to be generally under
with it, the association takes this method
of briefly enumerating some of the bene-
fits and objects of the enterprise, and en-
deavor to show the importance of the sub
jects embraced
The first and principal object of the
society will be to thoroughly develop the
Natural History of the State generally
but particularly that of the Southern
Mines:
list. By securing collection of the
specimens necessary for Geological Cabi-
net, from every portion of the Southern
Mines.
I'd. The collection of specimens in the
animal kingdom-beasts, birds, fishes,
shells, reptiles, insects, &c.
Sd. The collection of a Library of
scientific, historical, and agricultural
works.
4th. The collection of Botanical speci-
mems, embracing agricultural products,
the various plants, woods, flowers, seeds,
fruits, &c, belonging to this department.
9th. Exchanges of specimens with other
scientific associations and individuals.
throughout the world
9th. Public Lectures and scientific pub
Hcations on different subjects.
The want of such an organization has
long been felt in this section of the State,
and we think will be permanent benefit
to all classes of society.
In these several departments no portion
of the world presents a richer or more in
viting field than that embraced in the field
here designated, heretofore but partially
explored, and abounding in the most di-
yersifed and interesting productions, it is
reasonable that scientific men in other
States should direct their atte,t ton to
California and claim of our own citizens
proper investigation of the ample field
which Providence spread out before us.
Not only are the industrial and pecu-
mary interests of the State involved in
our enterprise, but also the social and
moralimprovement of her people, and her
reputation in the eyes of an expectant
world.
1t is not to the few that we appeal for
assistance, but it is hoped and expected,
that every individual who desires to pro-
mote the interests of California, and the
cause of science, will contribute his aid by
forwarding specimens and communicating
facts in relation to the department above
designated.
Every one has it in his power to do this
to greater or less extent Let no one
then Withhold his aid under the impression
that what he will contribute will be of no
consequence.
A single specimen may on examination
be found to add new and important dis
covery to natural science.-Stochton ar
gus.

IMPORTANT to Miners, Trauelers, DC.

There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf-
fering. Human nature at best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it.
trightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to tear that they have contracted the disease.
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose respectabilty and education
enables him to warrant SAFE speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
ty. DR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venercal
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous Eruptions Ulcera-
tions, Tertiary Syphilis, Syphilis in Children,
Mercurial Syphilitic Affections, Gonorrhea,
Gleet, Structures, False Passages. Inflammation
OF the Bladder and PROSTATE Glands, Excoria-
tons, Tumors, Pustules, etc, arc as familiar to
him as the most common things of daily obser-
vation.
The Doctor effects cure in recent cases in a
few days and finds no difficulty in curing those
of long duration, without submitting the pa
tlent to such treatment as will draw upon him
the slightest suspicion or oblige him to neglect
his business, whether within doors or without.
The diet need not be changed, except in cases
of severe inflammation. There are in California.

Constitutional Debility or sen.nos Ueakues,

O~ON'SNfN-~'N~N ~~~N't'V Ne"sNeue
DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have inipr-
ed themselves by private and improper indul
gences in that secret and solitary habit which
ruins the body and mind, uniting them for
either business or society. The following are
some of the sad and melancholy effects produc-
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness
of sight, loss of muscular power palpitation of
the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritabiltv
arrangement of the digestive functions. general
debility, symptoms of consumption, &c.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory con-
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits evil fore
bodngs, aversion to society, self-distrust love
of solitude timidity, &C., are most of the evils
produced.
All persons who are afflicted with anv of
the above symptoms should not fail to cali ON
DR.. Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false delicacy prevent you, but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible
malady.
