SANG FRoID It is related that in a town not a
thousands miles distant from this city, the follow
ing instance of sang froid occurred The coroner
had sent for distinguished surgeon to perform
post mortem examination on the body of q person
who had died suddenly and in company with
member of the corps reportorial, anxious for an
item, awaited his arrival Just as he entered. the
official was searching the body, and in one Of the
vest pockets the sum of three bits was found.
quandary presented itself what was to be done with
the same. The reporter proposed drink-the
others assented, and three cocktails were ordered.
The disciple of Galen went Immediately to his
task and on the arrival of the cocktails suspended
his labors to join the official and reporter in the
disposition thereof. This we call sang froM-S.

"DREss MAKES THE MAN." said some one, and
there have been many good things said, with less
truth in them. Let any one who thinks there's
nothing in it, try for credit where he's unacquant-
ed, and when he's looking " seedy," and try again
when fitted out in goodly apparel-and if he do
not witness two eloquent illustrations negative and
positive, of the truth of the quotation, we'll give
him an order for one of Clatworthy's best vests
Whenever you read of an extraordinary swndle,
perpetrated by stranger is it not set down to the
credit of "a genteelly dressed young MANI and
when the court journal criticses the personale Of
distinguished citizen or stranger is not the sub
Ject invariably described as "a man of highly in
telectual appearance, richly though not gaudily
attlred! :" 1t is important that we give due weight
and consequence to the effects of DRESS and Just as
important that we then know where to procure
the proper raiment in which to attire the outer
man. If this query should occur to any one within
two hundred miles of Coloma, let him take our
advice and call on w. Catworthy, Sierra Nevada

OLD BLOCKS SKETCH Book. The publishers, Jas.
Anthony & Co., of the Sac. Union, have favored
us with copy of this work. We looked at it, ran
over the pictures, laughed and wondered through
the Pens and Quirks," and, after concluding that
we've not time before election to enjoy the whole
book, we have laid it away, mentally hoping that
no obliging friend will take advantage of this ac
acknowledgement to ask the loan of our book but
that all who wish to get glance at Old Blocks
last will call at the store of Clark & Henry or of
Vincent Co., and buy copy.

left California in rather an embarrassed condition

Strawberries AND ROSES! Our friends, the
Smith brothers, of Magnolia Ranch, RECALLED US on
strawberries, last week, as large and luscious
have ever seen--and, another good feature plenty
of them. One berry which could be handled easi-
ly, we measured. The proportions were-ongitu-
dinally 3$4 inches, latitudinally SO. Sacramento
papers blow about strawberries that measure 3 =
inches longitudinally. Accompanying the berries
came a great bouquet of about dozen roses
Send such collection as this of Strawberries and
roses to the Office OF the Sac Tribune Sierra Cdi-
zen, OR Old Moutaineer, or to any of those senti-
mental chaps, and the delighted editor would go
off with such a gush of eloquence and poetry, as
would shame Demosthenes and shake the laurels
that have so long graced the brow of Home. T,ve
Ia Smith Family say we-and may the life of each
be pleasant and peaceful and sweet to the taste as
their strawberries are; and, " lifes fful fever >
over, may conscience sit easy, and the dying couch
seem as one of roses without thorns.
p. S.--A strawberry has just been left on our
table, which measures 4 a inches; and the COM
bined circumference of it and seven others accom-
panying, is 2531 inches All from - Magnolia
Ranch" Sac Union will please try again.

THE NEVADA JOURNAL of last week contains the
vaedictory of the wight who during the Legislative
session presided over its editorial department
Some considerate friend has carried off our copy Of
the Journal, and we have nothing of it left but a
vivid remembrance of the good laugh we enjoyed
over the spicy yale of the retiring local and the
qualification with which we perused the able and
manly salutatory of "t the Senator :" who, the
vacating worthy announces, has returned, big
with the fate of empire" and with all the glory
and scrip of office upon him. Loca Leditor ac,
knowledged the Snithers item like a man, as he is
and now we insist that the editor of the S. F
Nc'cs procure the necessary statistics as to size
complexion, SC, and send that hat. Eddy & Co.
owe it fairly, and we know they're not the men to

JAMES CHURcHMAN, Esq, of Nevada, sent the
reported proceedings of a Republican meeting a
great ways, to procure q publication of them
This mere fact puts bad face on the affair, for
any matter that is true, and likely to benefit the
public, will, we know, be readily published by our
worthy cotemporary the Nevada Journal- and
matter Of different character is only a foolish
waste of paper and postage stamps, by being sent
to this Office. Besides, the aforenamed legal wor-
thy is hereby informed that his Dear -n is
not editor of the argus, and furthermore, that the
Argus isn't on that lay-as any one who reads it is
aware.
But here is the funny part of this tremendous
unanimous, magnanmous and pusanimous af
fair. The Nevada Journal thus refers to it, in its
issue of last week:
"The public meeting in expectancy which was
to have been held on Wednesday evening, turned
out slim. A little, old. brown, faded cotton UNI
brella, much worn and full of holes, was borrowed
by an eloquent lawyer who has the good cause at
heart, under which to assemble the masses He
was there in person and in time, but IA sudden
shower for the second time dispersed him in dis
gust"

THE AMERICAN devotes about two columns OF
original matter areaHy" to County Seat matters
and Coloma troubles, the manner of conducting
the canvass &c. The most amusing of all, is its
characterizing member of our committee as a
weighty, though exceedingly slippery politician of
the Democratic American school, 1t sounds so
funny from Wadsworth, who last fall threatened
to take down the American ticket, unless the can.

the publication of their names as the regular NOM
inees of the party We informed, too, that
the redoubtable editor some two years ago flung the
Democratic party of this county, for similar rea-
son--HE isn't slippery You might as well try to
carry eels on ladder, as tell what ticket Wads-
worth will be supporting next fall or what place
he will vote for on the 18th for County Seat.
