generous people as can be found in any part
of the world we care not where the comparson
is made But, notwithstanding all this. W fad
the newspaper business inadequate to meet our
desires, and in justice to ourself, we have re-

ISOLATED ourself with one of the most sab
staucial practitioners of Columbia-Gen. O.

We shall, however, continue our relations

meet with the appreciation of our citizens, We
call upon them for that aid which is necessary

that which existed upon the reception of the

THE TRAGEDY.-The circumstances the sui
eide on Monday with the attempt to commit
murder have been so generally published, that
we deem it unnecessary to say more than that
the statements we have seen in other papers are
mostly correct-the romance excepted. A
common looking Castillian woman proving her
self the unfaithful enans1rada of a Peruvian mer-
chant, formerly of Mokelumne Hill, was waited
upon on last Monday morning by her Peruvian
lord who told her that he " had lived long
enough and that he " wanted her to die too !"
he then presented bottle. upon which they
took drink together, when he drew his pistol
discharged ball into her breast, and then pla-
cling the pistol at his own bosom fred another
which passed through his heart. He died with
out uttering word the woman though badly
wounded Will probably recover.

For the Columbian.
Profanity.

Well, know it is foolish habit, says the
reader on noticing this caption. Do you indeed
And DO you not know something farther about
it-that it is act of injustice to your neighbors
one too which you will find difficult to recon-
pense?
From physicians and lawyers, bankers and
merchants, bfacksmiths and carpenters, miners
and teamsters, language is constantly pouring
forth. ut only for those from whose hearts the
asst virtuous emotion has expired, leaving what
should be the sanctuary of purity to the unds-
puted possession of the demons of darkness.
Such language. coming from men too who lay
claims to responsibility, our little boys are com
PEELED to hear when upon some errand it is nee
essary 10 send them through the streets.
In vain do the mothers OF California hold up
before their little ones the example of a Wash
ington and a Franklin for their imitation. while
all around are examples, which, from their
numbers and proximity, have much stronger
influence in the opposite direction All our eff
forts are thus neutralized.
We endeavor to guard the young heart with
the greatest care, to rear noble sons who shall
be the pride of the country, and daughters
"hoSep purity shall ensure the happiness of the fire
side. But how are a mothers hopes dashed to
the ground by the prevailing disgusting vice of
profanity. How remorselessly is the wall,
erected with SO much care around the young
mind, broken down, and the virtuous principles
so assiduously planted and cherished, trampled
under foot and extinguished, only to give place
to noxious weeds which are sure to spring up,
and cast gloomy, deadly shade over society.
Men of California, is this just? Is it noble
You would consider it dishonorable to poison
the bodies of children as they play in your
streets; is it any the less so to poison their
hearts? 1t is for them that this appeal is made
not adults. The principles of the latter are
more firmly fixed. They are already de-
termined to pursue either a noble, honest
high-toned course in life, or else one Of an op-
posite character. But with the former it is not
so; their minds are easily turned in any direc-
tion-as easily trained to vice as virtue. Let
therefore, every one, whether parent or not,
who has any regard for the future character of
our society. and who has, perhaps almost I'M
knowingly, fallen into the habit of using pro-
fame language, practice degree of selfdenial
which will take from the young most enticing
initiatory step to more degrading vices and
thus second the efforts Of

SUNDAY LAw.-Many of our city and county
exchanges are urging the necessity of the pas 5e
of Sunday Law by the incoming Legislature.
A bill to this effect passed the Assembly last
winter, but died with the unfinished business OF
the Senate. That such law is demand ID by the
people of California, there can be no question
as business in every town and city would be
eaualized by It's provisions Il Is to be hoped
that Law OF this character viii be one Ct the
first engaging the attention OF our law givers
this winter.

AFTER THE STORM Bessie of the Califor-
MIA Farmer, is a graceful and imaginative writer.
Here is the scene after storm:
The storm god. after dropping few tears
as if repenting of his misdeeds, hath taken its
fight, and the moonlight glmmers through the
shutters. and the starlight trembes on the fresh
ened foliage. The troubled vision is passed, and
the heart-harp, which, but moment ago, hung
silent against deserted wall. is swept by angel
fingers, and never comes music so sweet as
when we are closed around with shadows
If Bessie is married lady-and we are quite
sure she is. for how could Bessie be overlooked
in the market will she oblige US with de-
scriptiOn of scene after domestic storm
Stools inverted. broken crockery, cat with her
tail smashed fiat, children squalling, dogs howl
ing, husband in the suks with the vegetable
merchants at the door; the whole domestic
economy knocked into eternal smash. and the
wife gone to the theatre with the husband s
nd.-MarysuiHe Herald.
~ Way doa't editors give credit to the pro-
PR Journals for articles which they extract all
copy in their own? The above beautiful little
moroccan of imagery was extracted from a cor
respondence which originally appeared in the
Columbian and from it placed into the California
Frmer. Had Bessie desired it to appear as
belonging to The F1rmsr as the Marysville Herald
has wrongfully given credit, she would proba-
bly, have given it to that paper for publication
instead of the Columbian.

A MOTHER.

ST. PRISONERS AT LARGE-There are at
present sojourning in this city, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, some five or six individuals
who have been sentenced to the State Prison
for viola ions of the law. and whose terms have
not yet expired. Among them is one William
c. Hara, now in the Station House. who states
that Capt. Wells of San Quentin gave him per-
mission to visit his family. Another has been
taken in charge by the police, named -
Walker; hi term would not expire for eight
months. 1t is also said that Paddy Martin, IN
der sentence for seven years for a brutal assault
upon little GIRL is down here making arrange
ments for new trial. Others are staying in
different parts of the city.
Let the candidate for the Speakership of the
House, for the incoming session of the Legis-
lature, explain why these prisoners are not in
confinement as the law directs?

OREGON NEws.-The telegraph wires are com

Innumerable salt-springs are said to exist
throughout Oregon Territory. Some salt springs
It Umpqna are about to be worked; as also
ome in Polk county. There are springs some
twenty miles below Portland, which make fine
