NOVEL THEoRY.-The late fearful
inun9ations in France has set the phil
osophers and saSans of Paris to shecu-
lating upon the probable caGse ofa ca
lamity which, with more or less gio-
lence, affiicts the country periodically.
At late sitting of the Accademy OF
Science, a curious essay was read on
the subject, in which the idea was ad-
vanced that the overfows of the rivers
are chiefly oceasiened by the sirocco
from Africa. 1t is conjectured that
the hot blast in its course over the sea
causes rapid and copious evaporation
and that the vapors are carried by 1t
and finally condensed amid the cold at
mosphere of the mountains IN the CEN
tre, East and South of France, where
they descend and flow into the plains
and valleys in fierce torrents, whose
volume is swollen by the waters oil the
melting SHOWS This is at least plau
sible theory, whatever may be thought
of its practical value.-Ph't. Eren'n9

THE CALIFoRN1A FARMER. in AT

The CALIFORNIA FARMER, in an
nouncing its entrance into its sixth
volume, gives utterance to the under
added patriotic and truly Californian
sentiments. In referring to the kind
of men the people should elect to Office,
the editor writes:
Ours is emphatically the ''working
mans journal" We would advocate
and defend a cause that should elevate
the working man. We would have the
working man in authority in our halls
of legislation, in our offices of honor
and trust-the farmer, the mechanic,
the manufacturer, the merchant.
We would have men identified with
our country alone, fill our offices; men
who hrve homes, wives, children, bro
thers, sisters, houses, lands, farms,
workshops, men who have something to
work for, 10 legislate for, to rule for,
something to live for, beside mere po-
litical preferment and the spoile of Of
fee. We would have men in Office, not
politicians, merely.
We prescribe no man for his religi-
ous, political or sectioal feelings. We
would have him enjoy these freely, but
We would have him or them who occu-
Ply office men Of enlarged and liberal
views. who can act at atl times for
''the greatest good of the greatest pos
sibic NUMBER" men who shall act for
the eouatSy rot for party. Such men
California now needs She is III her
greatest extremity, and her only hope
now rests with the working men of our
State, to them all eyes are turned
Our cities and villages swarm with
men seeking office, they will net labor,
they never labor, they are drones in
the great hive of human industry. and
are consuming that store of food that
should be preserved for the coming
winter, and now is the time tG drirc out

EVERY MAN HIS GOLD MINE.-The
assumption that at this late day, every
man may il he will, possess his gold
mine, may appear to many to border Il
little upon the visionary, but it is news
ertheless true. In all parts Of the
State bordering upon the Sierra Neva-
da range Of mountains, from Oregon
on the north 20 it's extreme southern
limit, and even into Sonora, Mexico,
gold in almost unlimited quantities ex.
lists. Geld bearing quartz exists in
countless localities in the higher noun
tains, and ameng the lower hills. gulch>
es and ravines are golden placers of
which tens Of thousands Of acres are
as yet unwrought
The question of "Ehat are the chan
ces 2" is continually being asked by
thousands who desire to come to Cali
fo'nia, but think it may possibly be too
Lqte. Until the Sierra NeyaAa is brought
DOWN to level with the plains, gold
mining will be prosecuted liz California.
Placers may to some extent become
exhausted during the noxt thirty or fif>
ty years, but the gold bearing quartz

4 SKAKsPEAREAN REToET.--Ed-
mundson further stated that he never
went armed with any other weapon than
pen-knlte. This Is contrary TO the
general impression of Edmundson, who
is one OF the most extreme southern
men, though | do not remember any
peronai assault committed by him.
During the present session, however,
he once exhibited tendency that way,
when he interrupted Giddings in one
of his speeches, by approaching, and
with menacing air challenging him
to "say that again !" The Shakspear-
can retort of the sturcy veteran was
admirably telling. Shaking his white
head with excitement, stretching forth
bis arm with indignant defiance, the
brave old giant exclaimed
$50 show your slaves how choleric you
are,
And make your bondmen tremble,"
Bot don't come here :" Whereupon
Mr.. Edpundson returned to his seat.

ALL SORTS OF MINDs.-There

ALL SORTS OF MINDs.-Ihere Is
strong disposition in men of oppo-
site minds to despise each other. A
grave man cannot conceive what is
the use of wit in society; person
who takes a strong common-sense
view of the subject, is for pushing out
by the head and shoulders an ingeni-
GUS theorist, who catches at the slight
est and faintest analogies; and anoth-
er man, who scents the ridiculous
from afar, will hold no commerce
with him who tests exquisitely the fine
feeling Of the heart, and is alive to
nothing else; whereas talent is talent
and mind is mind, in all its branches !
Wit gives life to one Of its best fla
vors, common-sense leads to immedi-
ate action, and gives society its daily
motion; large and comprehensive
views cause its annual rotation; ridi-
cule chastises folly and imprudence,
and keeps men in their proper sphere;
subtlety seizes hold Of the fine thread
Of truth; ; analogy darts away iii the
most sublime discoveries feeling
paints all the exquisite passions Of
mans soul, and rewards him by a
thousand inward visitations, for the
sorrows that come from without. God
made it ALL 1t is all good. We
must despise no sort of talent they
all have their separate duties and uses
all the happiness Of man for their
object; they all improve, exalt AID

A SGNcULvR FIAT OF A HoRsE.-
The Count Lanscemb made 4 bet a
few days ago that he could make his
English hanting horse John Ball trot
a distance of one kilometre backwards
in six minutes. The feat was under
taken between the Round Point of the
Champs Elysees and the 0bellsk Of the
Place Concorde. From the Round
Point to the grand entrance of the e1-
ebition the Count walked his horse,
but here he commenced to trot, and
from this point to the Obelisk he gra-
dually pushed him faster and fa ster
until he arrived at the end, in Eve min
uIes and thirty seven seconds. The
last twenty rods were accomplished at
rate OF speed which put to the test
the full trolting powers of some Of the
horses meRnted by the witnesses of
tho singular feat.-Parls Letter.

SroCK ON THE PLAINs.-We have now
something reliable in regard to the numbers
of stock, says the Placerville -4mericdR, on
the plains en- route for California. Up to
the time Dir. Sager crossed the North Platte
bridge five miles below the old Mormon ferry
the register there kept showed an aggre-
gate of over forty thousand head Of cattle,
and it was there believed that as many as
half that number were yet behind, which
would give a grand total of sixty thousand.
His belief is that the immigration on the
way exceeds that of any other year except
that of 80. That it consists mainly of fami-
lies and large proportion of them the fami
lies of those who having once been to Cali
forna and back to the Eastern States, are
now returning to make California their per-
maDent abode.
The Placerville Democrat says-When
the DR.. crossed the North Platte. the U. S.
officers at that place, who had kept an ac-
count Of the stock passing, reported 10000
head of cattle as having passed The grass
from the Missouri River to Fort Laramie,
was good, but from that place to Carson
Valley, not so plentiful. At Raft River the
Indians were very troublesome, the immi
grants having had several fights with them.
in which several men were wounded, and,
judging from appearances, a number of In
dians killed. The Indians had succeeded in
stealing a number of cattle at that place.
The week after leaving Raft River, the bo-
| dies Of a man and woman, who evidently had
been murdered BY Indians some time pre-
4 viously, were found and buried. About ten
miles above the sink of the Humboldt, tn .
! body of a man was found, but no conclusion
/ could be arrived at as TO the cause Of his
( death; the body was considerably decom-
posed, and one arm and one leg badly eaten
by the wolves, On Saturday, three weeks
ago, during the prevalence of a thunder
shower, Mr.. JohnsOn's train sought shelter
beneath seme trees in Carson Valley, and
while there, several men and horses were
struck by lightning, one man, Swiss,
being killed His hat was torn to tatters,
the rim only being left.
The greater portion Of the immigration
appears to be taking the Truckee route in
consequence of the Misrepresentation of in
terested parties, who report scarcity Of
grass on the Carson route. \ number of
large droves of cattle had, from the same
cause, taken the Lawson route. Mr.. Swans
train--4 wagons and zoo head of cattle
and Mr.. Duncans train with large drove,
had arrived in Carson, and will be over in
a few days.
The estimated number Of cattle crossing
the plains this year, is 10000, all of which
are reported as doing well.
DR.. Sager reports that there was no sick
ness on the route, of any consequence.
