DEFoPULATJoN OF CALIFoRNIA.--The
number of men, says the Nevada Journal,
who meet with violent deaths in California
cannot be less than fourteen hundred a
year. at the rate these deaths are occurring
among rs at present. Tie number result
ing from mining casualties is enormously
large, and Will doubtless continue to in
crease in proportion to the extension of hy-
draulic washing. Those killed in this man
ner are the boue and oinew of the State
and California could much better afford to
lose another class of men. The deaths by
banAs caving exceed at this time the homi-
eide calendar. At the rate this mortality
goes on, it will require the average number
of men brought by five steamers to supply
the places OF those who meet with violent
deaths.

Question. | do not speak of that. Do
You mean to say, as physician, that you
were not unwilling that he should go out
on account Of his wounds, and the consc
Qucnces in which, from excitement and
other causes, those wounds might end?
Answer. | think this: that Mr.. Sum
ner might have taken a carriage and driven

Answer. think he could have worn u

Question. Were you bail for Mr..

Answer. | was not.
Question-By Mr.. Cobb--are you a
regular practicing physician of this city.
and if SO, for how long have You prac-
ticed?
Answer have been practicing since
1916. have been connected with hospi-
tails and medicine since 1888
Question. I ask whether in your prac
tice your treatment depends upon the po-
ltical opinions of your patients?
Answer. No sir.
Question. Do you treat them with ref
erence to their political opinions, or do you
judge more by pulse.
Answer. | have nothing to do with any
mans politics.
The attempt of the Black Republicans to
make political capital out of this personal
assault of Brooks and Sumner, their in
dignation meetings and fuss generally, were
the'most Ridiculous procedure that ever
characterized our politics. Brooks attacked
Sumner for personal reasons and not from
any political motives, AMI the affair belongs
exclusively to the judicial tribunals of the
country. The passionate appeals that have
been made to arouse political and sectional
feelings for such . cause only shows how
little confidence they place in their princi-
ciples, and chat they place their main reli-
ance in passion and prejudice, and not ia
Judgment apd reason.

Hints TO Young Farmers.

Consider your calling the most elevated,
and the most important; butnever be above
it, nor be afraid Of the frock or the apron.
Put off no business which ought and can
be done to-day. until tomorrow.
As soon as the spring opens and the
frost is out ofthe ground, put your fence in
order.
Plant no moro ground than YOU can well
manure and cultivate to advantage.
Never hire man to do Il piece of work
which you can do yourself.
Every day has It's appropriate duties, at
tend to them in succession.
Keep no more stock than YOU can KEEP
in good order. and that of the best kind.
Never run in debt without a reasonable
probability ofpaying it at the time agreed
Remember that economy and industry
are two great pillars, the joachim and Boas,
Of the farmers prosperity.
Never carry your notes in your pocket
book, as the desk or trunk is a more appro-
PIRATE place. Keep them in file and in order
ready to be found when wanted.
Never buy anything at an auction because
the article is going cheap, unless you have
a use for i.
Keep a place for your tools-and your
tools in their places.
Instead depending a rainy day at the
dram shop, as many do to their ruin, re-
pair whatever wants mending; post your
books.
BY driving your business before You, and
not permitting your business to drive You,
you will have opportunities to indulge in
innocent diversions.
lever trust your money in the hands of
that man who will put his own to hazard.
When interestora debt become due, pay
it at the time, whether your creditor wants
ii or not Never ask him to "wait Till next
week" but pay it. Never insult him by
saying you don't want it Punctuality
is key to every mans chest.
By constant temperance, habitual moder-
ate exercise, and unaffected honesty, you
will avoid the fees of the lawyer and the
sheriff, gain good report, and probably
aid to your present existence at least ten
wears of active life.
When friend calls TO see you, treat him
with the utmost complaisance, but if impor
tant business calls your attention, politely
excuse yourself, and he will excuse you.
Keep memorandum book; enter all notes
whether received OF given; all monies re-
c.ived or paid out; all expenses; and all cir
cumstances Of importance.
In December reckon and settle with all
those with whom you have accounts; pay
your store bills and mechanics, if not
promptly done at the time, which is best Of
all.
And lastly, when the frosts of winter
snail lay an embargo on your operations,
and the chilling winds Of old Boreas shall
storm your castle, let your fire side be a
paradise, and let the long evenings be con
sumed in social glee, or in the pursuit of
useful knowledge.

That majority of the candidates upon
the People Ticket for State officers were,
at the time of their nomination, active
members of the Know Nothing order, and
that nearly all of them had taken the oath
of the order. to prescribe foreigners in
their exercise of the elective franchise and
have now publicly disavowed their pro-
scriptive sentiments.
That some eight or ten papers, profess
edly organs of The Know Nothing party,

with the Republican party of Indiana.

his vote or influence, gives countenance to

LET THE CHILDREN SING.-The cdi or Of
the American Magazine, in speaking Of vo-
cal music, says
'All children can learn 10 sing, if they
commence in season. In Germany, every
child is taught to use its voice while young.
In their schools, all join in singing, asarey-
uar exercise, as much as they attend to the
study of geography; and in their churches
singing is not confined to the choir, that
sits apart from the others, perhaps in one
corner of the house, but there is vast tide
of incense going forth to God from every
heart that can give utterance to this Ian
guage from the soul. In addition to the
delightful influence music has upon the
character, it has also marked influence
in suppressing pulmonary complaints. DR..
Rush used to say that the reason why the
Germans seldom die of consumption was,
that they were a ways singing

BE PROMPT. Never say when told to
do anything Elm minute" or ''by and
by" This leads to bad habit which, ii
not overcome, will prevent all confidence
in You as you grow up. You will then put
off duties YOU owe your neighbor in the
same way and lose his confidence. Many
men lose the respect Of their neighbors,
not so much because they mean to do wrong
as through mere carelessness. BY aud
by, and tomorrow have ruined thousands,
have robbed men of their characters, aud
made them anything but blessings to the
neighborhood Little confidence can be
placed in their word, and that because Of
their carelessness. No obligation is fulfilled
when it should be. They lose days and
weeks because business is not always at
tended to when it ought to be. A tool is
lost because not promptly put away when
done with. Fulfill every promise prompt
"; put it not off an hour.

ADVICE TO BoYs.--.You are made to be
kind and generous. If their is a boy who
has club-foot, don't let him know you
ever saw if. If there is a boy with ragged
clothes, don't talk about rags in his hear
ing. If there is lame boy assign him
some part of the game which does not re-
quire running. If there is a hungry one,
give him part of your dinner. If there is
dull one. help him to get his lessons. All
school will show by their countenances
how much better it is to have great soul
than great fist.
