THE GOLD OF CALIFORNIA NO NEW D1scovERY
The Sacramento Times infers from the fol-
lowing facts, that the original natives of the
soil of California must have known the exis-
tcnce of, and used the gold of the auriferous
region. In 1850 an arrow head of solid gold
was found in the neighborhood of Suffers
Fort; and lately spear head and small
Ratchet have been dug up on the American
river near the Buckeye diggings. These last
were fabricated from the pure yellow metal,

Flour Falling.

Tie staff of life, which has so long been at
starvation prices, has at last taken fall, and
we hore a fall forever A leading staple and
a leading necessity, it rules the rates OF kin
dred grains, and makes the living of the la
boring masses high. This compels q CORES
ponding increase, enters into the cost of all
kinds of manufactured produca, aud the con-
sumner, whoever he be, has to foot the bill
Il is not so much the high price OF bread
which works the injury the fluctuations of
that price. Wages cannot rise and fall with
the varying tides of trade, and many a man
is made a pauper, and manufacturer ruined,
before he can receive his own equilibrium by
adapting means to the evil.
The New York Herald says: Who could
have believed last December that -four in
April, from common to good New York State
-four, would Ee quoted in this city at frac-
ton under six dollars barrel? Yet this thing
has come to pass. and the probabilities are
that -four, breaistufs, and provisions of all
kinds will continue to come down for the bal
ance of the year. The bulk of our prodigious
crops of last year still remains in the interior
La addition to this, our farmers, last fall, con-
sideriug the prospect of long war in Europe
and Of still upward prices for bread-stuHs,
put In an immense .readth of land for the
coming harvest. Should this harvest, there
fore be an average one per acre, the aggre-
gate yield will swell our existing surplus to an
incredible amount but should it be har-
vest like that of last year, bread and meat
will be cheap and plentiful beyond all antici-
pations. This will especially be the result
with good crops in Europe, and the Russian
Gepots of the Black Sea and the Baltic opened
to tie wants of England and France. We
understood that on Wednesday from eight to
ten thousand barrels of -four were sold in this
city at an advance of shilling upon specu-
lation but this is no indication whatever of a
suspension of the ebb tide. We arc not sorry
Our farmers have realized handsom. ly for
three or four years, and can afford a reduction
without loss in a crop or two; and as, in the
aggregate, we have never known or heard of
any country on the face of the earth that has
suffered from bread being too cheap, so when
they tell us that -four is coming down, we feel
sufficiently resigned to exclaim m-'' Let it come

Sabbath tsa the Wilderness.
BY MAX GREE NE.
Here, in strange and desert land,


Here, in strange and desert land,
I've passed this Sabbath day,
From hoae, and all that knew me once,
Three thousand miles away.
By far Atlantic's flashing streams,
In boyhood, have played;
Tn manhood now, wander meath
The Rocky Mountains, shade.
I've lain within this cedar grove.
And watched the brilliant glow
That rests upon yon upland rim.
And III the vale below.
Pve lain beneath the cedar bough,
And watched strange bright bird
And looked into the marbled sky,
Until NY soul was stirred
With memories Of long-gone years.
And hopes of coming time;
And then, my passionate heart was poured
In rivers of sweet rhyme
Thus, in i Wild and desert laad.
I've passed-this Sabbath day,
From home, and AL who knew me onoe,
Three thot sand miles away.

''Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with beauty that is
not of earth, and thus pass away, and
leave us to muse on their faded lovliness ?
Why is it that the stars, which hold their
festivals around their midnight thrones are
set above the grasp of our limited facul-
ties, forever mocking us with their unap-
proaehable gloryG And why is it that
bright forms of human beauty are present
ed to our view, and then taken from us,
leaving the thousand streams of affection
to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our
hearts? We are borne for higher desti-
ny than that of earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades, where the
stars will set out before us like islands that
slumber on the ocean, and where the beau
tiful being that now passes before us Ikea
meteor will stay in our presence torerer@
