PLAIN TALK.-A western editor, in speaking
of low necked dresses and short sleeves, says:
The prevailing fashion among the ladies',
which transposes angel TO model artist is
universally deiested by every gentleman whose
good opinion lady should desire. 1t blunts The
finer feelings Of both sexes, and is dsadvan-
tage to the one, by destroying all the room for
the imagination in the other. A round, plur3p.
white arm is beautiful. and may be admired
with all propriefy; but shaped like a
three cornered file, with red elbows, is not
beautiful, and, in competition with Spanish
garotfe would stand no chance Of being elected
to ones neck. white, round neck, with an al
abaster base half concealed by coquettish cul-
lar. is the most bewiiching sight in the world !;

like patent ham, with its contiguous unpro-
tected territory, has about many attractions

Dr. Pelham, our excellent and efficient County
Physician has kindly furnished us with the SUBJ
joined statistical information.
Inc report as will be seen covers three months
and shows that only seven patients remain on
hand at present. We cannot hope that the sum.
mer months will be so healthy The report
shows that all parts Of the County have been
represented, and that Shasta in proportion to
her population. has not been SO sickly as other
points in the County.
We are informed that the Hospital fund will
not be sufficient to meet the demands of the
Hospital even with its present econimical ad-
ministratlon, and resort must be had TO some
new mode of raising fund for the support of
the sick. An economical administration can
only be perpetuaied by cash payments. and we
would recommend that tax of two dollars be
imposed on all male adults as special Hospital
Fund for this County. We believe that that
amount would be sufficient when added to the
present revenue, to support all the sick of our
County. We hope action may be had in this
matter, and that law may be at once placed on
our Statutes giving US the right 10 collect the
requisite amount, so that our sick may be COM
tortably cared for:
The report covers November December and
January. Tue whole number of patients treated
during that time were sc, of whom 26 have
been discharged cured; have died and re-
main on hand OF those who died. . were al
the point OF death when received, and lived but

per day has been 40 cents. The total average
cost 10 each man per day has been 81 25.
