A STRANGER AT HoME.--A gentleman
from Australia for Salem, his native place,
came down in the cars from Boston to South
Reading, on Saturday evening, who had
been so long absent that he was stranger
to his kindred and his home. He had been
gone twenty two years; and for one period
for seven successive years did not even re.
ceive a letter from this country. Twenty
two years is large piece of a mans life,
and in that time great changes not only
come to himself, but likewise to such coun
tries as the United States and Australia.
He arrived at New York one week ago, but
it was not the New York he had left; the
young city in the meantime had attained a
monster growth. He started upon his land
tracts in the cars; but never had he seen
railroads before, except little piece of one,
hardly deserving the name, at Melbourne.
Boston had been familiar to his eyes in
youth but even Boston, more staid than
New York, has undergone great changes
since 1884 If they had all taken place al
once, as they seemed to have done to him,
Boston would be surprised at itself
He left young sisters at the home of his
fathers-but the sisters were married and
had daughters as old as they themselves

one of them, who kept up such volley that
his opponents retorts were scarcely audible
is but seldom equalled by the tongue The
scientific hourishes of his g darling ouid
stick we're beautiful to behold, and the
constant string of abuse, sarcasm and wit,
with which he overwhelmed his adversary,
attracted large crowd to the spot, who ex-
pressed great delight at the rich brogue'

Emerald Isle. Fortunately, they were not
permitted to come to blows.

LIBERTY OF THE PRE>s IN FRANCE.--By
the following. from the Paris correspon-
dence of the New York Evening Post, 1t
woyld seem that Louis Napoleon, chafed at
the rebuff which he received in attempting
to destroy the freedom of the Belgium press,
coptemplates wreaking his vengeance upon
the journalists of his own empire:
. Perhaps the most important item of lit
erary intelligence that you will have re-
ceived for some time, is the fact that NJ
BiIlaut, the minister of the Interior, seems
at present disposed TO suppress all the lite
rary and commercial journals throughout
France, or to refuse to accept of a eGutione-
ment from them which will amount to the
same thing know this is bold statement,
but | have every reason to think it is cor
rect. The Minister was greatly exaspera-
ted at having to give certain Review three
warnings in as many weeks, and hence the
measure in question. l know that many
journals of the class | have mentioned have
been suspended, and have reason to think
that others will follow"

CHURCH PROPERTY IN MExIco.-The fol-

Comonfort has proclaimed by decree, that

shall pass into the hands of the actual occu-
pants, the same as if guaranteed to them by
the government, with. an obligation, how
ever, to pay six per cent. interest on the
real value Of the same. The object Of this
law is to destroy the control which the
priests have over the peonle. and also to find
out the real amount of their income, in or
der to tax them. The result will prove
highly beneficial to the government, and IS
a master stroke of policy on the part OF

Democratic County Convention.

In this mornings paper, will be found
call for the Democratic County Convention,
to assembled at 0roville on the Odd Of Au-
gust, for the purpose of electinS delegates
to the State Convention, and the nomlna-
ton of officers The committee in making
the call, have been unable to designate the
number of delegates to which some OF the
new precincts are entitled, because no party
vote has been given since the precincts were
established. 1t will be matter that must
necessarily be determined by the Conven-
ton. As every body seems determined to
90 for Buchanan, the committee were dis
posed to allow each precinct a representa-
ton for the whole number of votes cast at
the county seat election; but concluded to
leave the matter to be settled by the pre-
cincts and the convention.
1t is important that every precinct should
be represented in the convention. We wish
we could thoroughly impress upon the De-
mocracy the Importance of full represen-
tation. In these times, good citizens should
no longer neglect or refuse to see that pro-
per, honest and patriotic and faithful men
are selected to fill the public Offices.
Butte county is entitled to two Members
of Assembly the present year, and the IN
creasing Importance and diversified interests
of the county, as well as the State at large
demand that they should be "honest, capa-
BILE and faithful" Elect no one because he
is in favor of, or opposed to the Vigilance
Committee. Select them from the solid men
of the county. Delve into the mines, or
search over the farming interests OF the
county, and select men whose interests are
identified with the county. whose home is
in our midst, whose character, moral worth
and intelligence are known. There are such
men in the county, and it is the duty of the
Convention to bring them out. Such men
will not become the tools of politicians, nor
all them in their unholy designs of p.under.
Fellow Democrats, let US have full Con-
vention, and a fair expression of the people,
and we shall nominate good men and elect
them. Would all the counties go to work
with the determination to elect none but
men who are identified with the counties, we
should hear less of corruption-have more
Wholesome and Just laws and inagurate new
era in our State. Butte county alone can
not effect this, but we can add our mite to
the general good, and secure the services OF
honest minded honorable men if we choose
or by neglect can surrender our rights td
weak, imbecile and migratory politicians
whose only hope is plunder, and who present
themselves at every opening not guarded
by the people.
