MANAGING A HUSBAND.

How do you manage your husband,
Mrs. Croaker? Such a job as | have of
it with Smith =
Easiest thing in the world, my dear;
give him a twitch backward when you
want him to go forward. For instance,
you see, to-day | had a loaf Of cake to
make. Well, do you suppose because my
body is in the pastry room that my soul
need be there too? Not a bit of it. / am
thinking of all sorts of celestial things the
while.
Now, Croaker has a way of Juggling
round 1t my heels, and bringingfn e
plump down in the midst of my Sti2l
flights, by asking me the price of th1 G-
gar I'm using.
Well, you see it drives me frantic ! and
when | woke up this morning and saw
Sthis furious storm, / knew / had him on
T~5Hsfor the day, unless | managed
right; so Tesd~him l hoped he wouldn't
go out to catch his death such weather;
that if he wasn't capable of taking care
of himself, / would do it for him; that it
was a very lonesome rainy day-and THAT
/ wanted him tie stay at home and talk
with me; at any rate he mustn't go out;
and / hid his umbrella and india rubbers.
Well, of course he was right end up; Gust
as | expected and in less than len
minutes was strQttipg down the street at
the ratSof ten knots an hour.
You. see there is nothing like under
standing human nature; no woman should
be married until she IS thoroughly posted
in this branch of her education.-Fanny
Fern.

FRUSTRATED GuANO.

This valuable fertilizer. composed Of equal parts
ofPeruVian Gnano and fine bone Dust. is offered
TO Planters as an article bl every way superIrr and
far more lasting than eSdano used by itself. 1t ID an
established fact that Gnano lacks PHOSPHATE OF
LIME, and also that one haifof lis fe~rtiIizing quail
ties are dissipated in tie AIR, which is plainly TO be
p~ssSeived by the strong ammonical smell Constant
limited by it until its strength is gone. Bone
dust is nothing more than Phosphate Of Lime, and
this. besides being q strong and valuable manure,
fixes the ammonia in the Guano, and retains it utt.

fertilizer will satisfy any one Of its durability and
superior efficacy TO simple Gnan0.
For, sale in barrels about two hundred and IF
pounds each, at tyo cents per Id.

GENTEEL FIGHr.-Several of the young
bloods of the town got agoing rather fast
night before last, and after hoisting in
rather heavy freight of Deacon Sheldon's
best pony brandy, and topping off with
Heidsick which is calculated to cement more
closely the bonds of friendship, made it
somewhat surprising TO US that such jovial
spirits should fall out one with the other but
so it is, sometimes the best of friends will
disagree on small matters, and of en- forget
in the heat of passion that courtesy due from
one gentleman to another. 1t was even so
with this party for when seated around the
hospitable board in the Italian restaurant,
all at once two came to words and blows.
Friends interfered - in the struggle tables
fell, bottles smashed, and it was interesting
quite so. 1t seemed free for all The
closing scene was sublime. One great big
double lister was holding one of the party,
who turned his attention to him entirely
The big rascal walked plumb over three
tables-he needed not be reached the broad
tow path and took toward the North Fork,
minus three quarters of yard of coat-tail

A Black Republican LIE

Inc san Francisco organ of the Black Re.
publicans, says that J Breckenridge OF.
erted "all his energies to deprive the State
OF California of sacred Constitutional ri,b,
the right of way across this continent
the right to enjoy system of uuinterrup,-
ed intercourse with her sister States-tbs
right to the construction Of a continental
railroad"
This is gross misstatement of the facts.
as the newly fedged organ should have
known. Kentucky voted in favor Of tbs
resolution adopted by the convention.
We should like to ask the S. F. Black Re-
publican organ, why it is, that the present
Black Republican Congress does not pass
the Military road bill which has been PASS
ed by the Democratic Senate. The orqan
knows very well that they will not do it
They had majority sufficient to do every.
thing else, except to make good their party
professions. Why does not the organ exert
Its influence to compel its party in power to
pass this Military road bill, instead Of max
ing such statements about their opponents,
and such shallow professions about q CONT
mental railroad. The Democratic Senate
have passed it; let the Republican House of
Representatives do so and then their pro-
LESSONS will be entitled to some credit.

A WORTHY ADvoCATE.--A correspondent
of the press who has been advocating the
cause of the mobites of S. Francisco, over the
opponents Of the Committee in the mos t
scurrilous manner, has been discovered by
the Shasta Republican,. to be a man who
was indicted few months since for murder,
and escaped conviction only by quibbe
of the law. The Republican says of him.
&c A few months since. the said a was
indicted by the Grand Jury of the county of
Shasta, for the crime OF murder, alleg d to
have been committed upon one Williams -
A warrant for his arrest was duly issued
and the said A. B. hed--he skulked about
Afterwards the said A. 3. sneaked into town
the back way and gave himself up. When
the case of the g People VS.. A B indict-
ment for murder" was called on for trial,
he studiously avoided an investigation of
the merits of the case. A molten was made
that the indictment be set aside, on the
ground that one of the grand Jurors who
presented the Indictment was an alien. The
man accused Of alienage was brought for
ward. He made oath that he was a citizen,
but because he could not present to the
Court the records of St Louis, Missouri, this
man A. b. was set at liberty Before he
left the Court room, however, in open Court,
by his attorney, he soiemnly pledged him
self to the law--he pledged himself that he
would not only not violate the law acain,
but that ever afterwards he would uphold
and maintain it."

FIRE PLUGs.-The workmen are engaged
in tapping the water pipes on the corner of
Montgomery and Myers SITS. and are setting

will be very great convenience for other
purposes than extinguishing fire. Fire
that word makes the cold chills run over us

cur little city. We have had warning suf-
icient to make us watchful, by the almost

ton of towns in other parts of the State

Ravine, Oregon City, Mesilla Valley, and

cient products for home consumption. This
is one of the very richest mining sections in

q want of water This will be furnished to
some considerable extent very soon, by the
ditch which is going forward, and will con-
sey the water of Little Butte Creek. We
propose to visit all those localities very soon
SO that we may speak from observation in
reference to the resources--both in an sgri-
cultural and mineral point of view, more

tachees are spoken of in the highest terms,
the principle of which is the jailor, Howard
Carey. who sleeps with one eye open in or
der that the county's unwilling guests may
want for nothing until his Honor, Judge
Lewis, shall call them to q settlement for

jail-room is l6 by l2 feet, and two cells at
tached. 1t is the coolest and mcst airy re-
sort in Bidwel, not excepting Joe Buck

MOB LAW Us. LAW Governments are i,
stituted among men for mutual protection.
and benefit. Laws are but the exponents
of the contracts entered into by the parties
interested Under no system which the
wisdom of man has yet devised. have equali-
ty of rights and equal justice to all men
been so fully and certainly guaranteed as
they are by the republican government Of
these United States. Here every citizen of
age and sound mind, who has not forfeited
his rights by the commission of crime, may
have hand in saying what rules shall be
prescribed to govern himself and his fellows
There can be no excuse then for those who
assume the ground of opposition and rebel
lion to the laws-to the authorities consti-
tuted by themselves to dispense Justice.
Resistance to unjust and tyrannical laws,
framed by the few, assuming to govern the
many, without allowing them a voice in such
regulations, is now generally recognized
among the free thinkers of the world as
holy ond necessary duty. 1t must be OBJ
served, that there is marked distinction
between resisting laws made by ourselves
and those which are set up for us by others
independent of our own action. Therefore
under representative and rational system
of government, such as has been established
Dy lne people OF these ODlteQ states, no valid
excuse can he offered for violent res stance
to the laws. He who is guilty Of this for
feits all claims to the title of good citizen,
constitutes himself an outlaw, and has no
just cause for complaining Of the conse-
quences.
1t would be well if these truths were more
generally understood and acted up to by the
population OF this Republic. While we as
sumo to be free and intelligent citizens, we
appropriate to ourselves Individually too
much freedom, without cultivating in n cor
responding degree that intelligence which
should regulate our actions. Thus do we
change our freedom into unbridled lieenti-
BUSINESS, and assume superiority for our
private claims paramount to the rights and
Interests of the community with which we
are associated. This foolish assumption is
the fruitful source of mob law Men seem
to forget that they themselves have hand
in making the laws of the land, and hence
follows resistance to the rules established
for the general welfare when they conflict
with private Sonora Heraid.

blacks boots. and waits on gentlemen. The
other is cook at the Orleans Hotel. George
had imbibed some bad whiskey while en-
gagged in a political discussion with some
white friends who entertained Black Repub-
lican notions, and he waxed angry and left
them, to use their own language, very un-
tremendously. George wanted to fight, SO
he repaired to the Orleans Hotel to pick a
quarrel with friend. The cook told George
to go way dar. or he would burn him wild
chunk" SO he tried him first with little
hot water. George left, and gathered a
rock and laid in wait for him, he knowing
the route he would take to 90 to his wife's
house. So when the cook came along.
George sailed in and struck him back of the
ear and brought him down. He is severely,
though not dangerously hurt.
