The EIGHTH of January was the forty-iirst
anniversary of an American victory unequalIed
in the history of the world Although it
exercised no influence in the treaty of peace
between the United States and England
the battle having been fought fifteen days
after the treaty was signed at Client, yet
it showed to the world what could be done
by back-woods army, and assured meas
ure of respect that we would not otherwise
have obtained Long may the day and it,
glorious hero be remembered by brave anc
free people.

A Boy came into town the other day with
mountain cat in box, as curiosity, to
SELL After trying at several places to dis
pose of it, he dropped in at one of the hotels,
and offered it to the landlord. Here he was
bantered and leased as to the value of the
animal, and finally asked what the thing was
good for anyhow. WALL" says the boy,
he's right peert for catchin' rats, and makes
lickin' good pot-pie when you're out of
meat" Something happened to the boy just
then, and the landlord declares somebody sent
him there to say it.

CIR SENIOR during the present week has
been in Sacramento assisting the Legislature
to organize. According to notices of him by
some of the brethren of the press, he
makes very good appearance, and well be
may for he sports our (the juniors) wed

sence at this time as charitable to us, who
have SO recently had the cares of family
added to our other duties He might have
known that we would have neglected the

Our Wants.

The all absorbing topic of the past week
has been the opening of the eighth Legisla-
ture of the State of California. Probably at
no time within the history of our State have
the people looked with so great degree of
anxiety to the meeting of their representatives.
For the last year the affairs Of the State have
been virtually out of the hands of respon-
sible party Our revenues have been neg
lected, intestine troubles engendered, our
public faith forfeited, and our State debt al
most repudated. But fortunately party in
whom the people have confidence, has come
into power in the law making department,
and as we believe the Governor will not with
hold his sanction from any measure that will
be for the public veal, we look forward to a
gradual ameoration Of public affairs
Both houses are composed of men, large
majority Of whom are permanently interested
in the State, and being business men, they
have already gone to work, in good earnest,
at that which first should demand their atten-
ton.
The Senatorial question once adjusted by
the election of two men of sound democratic
principles, the Legislature will be prepared to
take hold of the great questions of the day,
and solve them in a manner perfectly salts
factory to their constituents What we most
need is certainty certainty in our laws, in
their administration and enforcement. The
laws in regard to our revenue and mercantile
interests need remodeling and making plain.
As to the mnes,-let them alone. They are
being cared for by the courts, and the miners
now understand their rights, and are compar-
atively satisfied. Further legislation would
make new rules to be learned and applied (or
be useless and probably require new series
of litigations to establish their meaning
There is no necessity of hurry in regard to
the State debt No law can be submitted to
the people before the next general election in
September unless the legislature should
change the day for holding general elections,
therefore we may confidently expect some
thoroughly dgested measure for saving the
faith and credit of our young, and should be
vigorous State, to be submitted to the voters
for their sanction, and we have no fears that
the people will fail to approve the acts Of
their representatives.

An Eastern Legend.

There Is IN Afghanistan, country abound
ing III legends, one to this effect That
Satan entered into a compact with the peo-
pie to teach them to cultivate the earth and
bring forth its fruits, the produce to be
divided by them. The proposition being
acceded TO, the soil was prepared By the la
Dor Of the people. Satan then produced the
seed, which in due course of time came up
carrots turnips, aud other vegetables, the
value Of which lies beneath the ground
When the time Of division arrived, the ig-
horant people took that which was above
the surface. Discovering their mistake,
they complained loudly. Satan heard their
lamenting with composure, and then to
soothe them, blandly promised that i, should
be different next year. The people we're to
take all the produce beneath the soil, and
as Satan this time sowed wheat barley,
and such like grain, he obtained all the
profits and they were trieked again, having
nothing for their share but useless roots
This legend has moral. Satan never
sows any seed in the human heart that
brings fort, any fruit by the growth Of
which any but himself is the gamer.
