FASHION SALooN.-This well known Sa-
loon, of which Messrs. Smith & White are
at present the proprietors, is under the excel
cnt management of Mr. Nathan b. Koon,
who is reputed to understand mixing" quite
as well as any other man in the county,
Two splendid billiard tables are in this saloon,
and always in good order The room is the
coolest and most commodious one in the

Jusr So.-Previous to the Cincinnati Con-
vention, the X Ms. and b. RS. contended
that james Buchanan was the best man the
Democracy could nominate-th that he was the
only man the party could elect They be-
lieved what they said then and relied on the
defeat of Buchanan in Convention. But
they slipped up" on this, and now TIE very
same parties denounce Buchanan as the worst
man that could have been selected. They
are just about as consistent in this, however,
as in anything else.

To be Expected.

The opposition papers are filed with abuse
of james Buchanan. Old and oft-refuted
ISLANDERS are unblushingly set aaoat again,
with the hope of injuring the great Pennsyl
vania statesman in the estimation of the
American public; but he is too well known
to suffer very greatly thereby. Calumny
falsehood and the bitterest denunciation will
be brought to bear, but they will not avail
against the good name of james Buchanan
His is a name too closely identified with the
history of the country for anything of that
kind

HUMBUG-The b. r. papers on this side of
the water say: For President, John c. Ere
mont, of California;" This is sheer hum
bug--Fremont has not been in California for
several years, having left in disgust after fail
ing in his Senatorial ASPIRATIONS. The only
claim he has to call himself a citizen of
California is his Mariposa claim; and it is
generally conceded that he would have some
trouble with the miners there before being
able to take possession of that.

A Murderer Shot.
Last week we mentioned the fl

Last week we mentioned the fact that the
body of murdered man had been found
in ditch near West Point, and also that
the partner Of the deceased was suspected
Of being the criminal He ian Italian) had
suddenly left, and was pursued by Deputy
Sheriff of Calaveras county, accompanied by n
Frenchman. Last Monday, the murderer was
discovered and captured in ravine near
Pleasant Valley, FL Dorado county. He
attempted to escape but failed; whereupon
the Deputy Sheriff directed the Frenchman
to interpret to the italian that if he repeated
the attempt he would be shot down Arr
wing at Dr. Slaughters, in Pleasant Valley
the officer went into the house for drink of
water, leaving the prisoner in charge of the
Frenchman, The italian fled. when the
Frenchman fired and killed him ON the spot
A crowd soon gathered and not fully under
standing the case, began to make demonstra-
tions of hostile nature, in consequence Of
which the officer and Frenchman started for
home, leaving the authorities of Ell Dorado
county to take charge of the dead body.

OF SUBSCRIPTION:


The Harbor Steam Battery which has been
building at Hoboken for Iea5 time past, by
Mr.. Stevens, is being rOofe1 over, preparatory
for winter, as the work has been suspended,
-eSceDt on the engines. 1t is still carefully
screened from public view, and visitors are sell
dom admitted. The original protector having
deceased, the work is carried forward 10y Il
surviving brother. Among the estimates of
appropriation by the United States Govern
ment for the ensuing year, IS S86, III for this
enterprise. She has been planked up to the
main deck with heavy iron plates, and amid
ship the plankng has been extended several
feet higher for the protection Of the machinery.
1t is understood that the other layers of plates
are to be added, SO as to make wall at least
six inches in thickness proof against Shot and
shell. The appropriations already made and
expended for this object was S25OOOO In
addition large am )unt has been expended by
the builder in the excavation Of the dry dock
in which to construct the vessel. The length
of this iron battery is obout 400 feet. She
will he equipped wi h a beayy armament, and
furnace for heating shot; and be propelled by
steam power at unusual speed 1t is asserted
that she might run into any ordinary vessel,
cutting her IN two.
This work was commenced after a long Sc
fries Of experiments, under the supervision of
Com. Stewart ana Col. Hattcn, representing
the army and navy, to determine the penetra-
ting power Of common shot upon plates Of iron.
Their report was satisfactory, showing that
wrought-iron plates Z inches in thickness
formed perfect defence against a solid Ga ID
shot, fired at distance of ten yards. or that
successive layers Of iron plates, with interven-
ing spaces, were equally efficacious The Sec
retary Of the Navy was soon after authorized
to contract for the work here noticed. For
harbor defence, such a craft as this must prove
highly efficient moving about rapidly, choosing
its position at pleasure, regardless Of the most
formidable missels of the enemy-and hurting
its heated shot and other proiectilcs in every
direction, the havoc committed would be fear
full The cost Of this ''infernal machine" com
plete has been estimated at s 0OO00O.

LIVE FOR PURPosE.-rhe secret of all
success in life, of all greatness, nay of all
happiness, is to live for purpose. There are
many persons always busy, VINO have yet no
great object in view. They fritter away their
energies on a hundred things, and never ac
complish anything, because never giving their
attention to only one thing They are like
butterflies, fitting from spot to spot, never
gaming wealth; while the ant, who keeps to a
certain circuit around her hole, lays up stores
for winter comfort. Such persons are doomed
to be dissatisfied in the end, if they are not
sooner, for they lind in the race Of life they
have been passed 10y all who mad a purpose
It is not only the positive drones, therefore,
but the busy ijers that make blunder OF
life for the want of life.
