CAlFoRxIA MINsTRELs. = This band Of
Ethiopian singers and dancers returned to
this place last Monday after an absence of
two months. They gave two concerts here
and rendered entire satisfaction to their AUDI
ences. The troupe has improved very much
and we recommend them wherever they go.
"Wednesday evening they appeared at Upper
Rancheria, and played to full house In
the evening, number Of young gentlemen,
including the Volcano Band, went over to
see them and we understand had q good
time generally The Ministries will always
be welcome visitors to Volcano

LIoSIzED. Miss Olive Oatman, the young
lady who was in captivity among the Apache
Indians and afterwards the MohaveS, for three
or four years, continues to be greatly lionlzed
by the press She is said to be handsome,
sprightly, intelligent and amable and it is
also said that she was not compelled TO marry
any of her captors-not even chief or the
son of chief-so great was the respect she
commanded among the sayages They only
tattoocd her chin little-thats all. Here's
chance for Wadsworth, of the Placeryillc
American to throw himself
PERsoNAL-Last evening as we were sit
ting in our sanctum taxing our pregnant
brain for copy, the coy little apartment be-
came suddenly diiluscd with hight, and on
turning with wonderment, to discover the
cause Of this strange illumination, we bcheld
the bright, smiling countcnance of the editor
of the Sentinel (who had been absent during
the week, ut the threshold. There he stood
his fine form drawn up to its full height
the glow of health upon his conntenance-
what model for sculptor! We could not
but appreciate the picture, notwithstanding
we had an omnonS loreboding of an uncere-
monious ejectment from the editorial tripod
-DEvIL of the Sentinel.
Well, that will do, o. ID. Where's Pow
ers with his chises
CoBBLE STONE. "A contract, says the
Granite Joarnat has been entered into by
George w Bird to furnish cobble stones for
San Francisco payaments, the same to be ta-
ken from Negro Bar the upper terminus OF
the railroad. 1t is estimated that stone
pavcments of this kind can be laid at about
double the present cost of plankng, whi,ll
requires renewing every year.
SODA pair Of "bloods7 were disposed
of at cost in this place the other evening
when they supposed themselves basking in
the smiles of a handsome and interesting
young lady from neighboring village. II
SO happens that the ''young lady" was rol
icsome, shrewd, fourtccn-year.od boy in dis
guise. The impression" made by the bloodi
will not be of much account; aud we feal
the fnger-ring and breast-pin Boys, The
joke was too good to be kept; but we shal
give no intmatoa as to your identity.
