the enterprise along perseveringly. Ev-
erybody is in favor of Gas. An incipi-

The Mormon question is the most Sc
rious one with which the general gov
ernment has to contend. The doctrine
of squatter sovereignty if carried out as
enunciated by its founders, must assur-
edly allow the admission of Utah, polvg-
amy and ALL A strict construction of
the constitution will allow no latitude to
Congress in the introduction of States
Congress must confne itself to the ex-
press declarations of the constitution,
and has no power beyond those dcclara-
tons. Squatter sovereignty recognizes
the right and competency of the people
of Territory TO determine for them
selves what institutions they shall live
under.
Senator Douglas in his Springfield
speech repudiates this doctrine indirectly
in his proposition to avoid the difficulty
which he foresees will arise when Utah
knocks for admission into the Union
He proposes to repeal the act organi-
zing the Territory, which he contends
will bring that country again under the
jurisdiction and control of the United
States. This is virtual reputation of
the principle of squatter sovereignty,
that the people of Territory are com
potent and have the right to determine
their own domestic institutions. The
Kansas-Ncbraska act was defined by
John B. Weller to be this and nothing
more; Il mind my own business and
you yours" If such be its meaning
why does the father of the measure seek
to divest the people of a Territory of
their right of self government

SHORT AND SwEET.-One day last
week a chap who proved to be on the
marry entered lager beer saloon and
called for an allowance of the beverage
from French demoiselle in attendance.
The lager, strange to say, had most
wonderful effect. The imbiber immedi
ately laid siege to the affections of the
girl and was listened to not unwillingly.
After a tedious courtship of thirty min
utes the couple determined to be stran-
gers no longer and incontinently got
spliced. Rather quick work, but the
ends justified the means.

SINGULAR CASE OF NERVOUS ExclTA-


BILrrY.-There is in our borough the
most singular case of nervous exeitabil-
ity Of such it might be called) in Child
that we have ever come across 1t is
that of little fellow about four years
old, who will not allow himself to be
dressed, Whenever his mother attempts
to put clothes on him, he screams terri
bly,, rurs out of the house and hides him
self in the barn, where he remains for
hours. Every effort to coax new pair
of shoes or any garment with which
children are generally pleased) on him,
is resisted with all his power; and if for
ced to submit, he seems to suffer the
most excessive pain, and on one or two
occasions, we believe, has gone into con-
vulsions. He usually wears nightslip,
and when his mother wishes to change
it, she is compelled to do it when he is
asleep. His parents are unable to ac
count for his strange freak.-ANentoacn

RICHEST YET! IA gold vein has been
discovered west of the Sacramento AT
the old Mission of San Rafael, in Marin
county, a Mr. Mitchell, who owns some
five hundred acres of land there, while
prospecting around, struck quantity of
hard red earth, among the rocks, which
looked like cinnabar, and he supposed
he had found a quicksilver vein. After
progressing some FIVE feet with his ex-
ploration, he thought the earth was au-
riferous. He sent piece away, and
had it assayed, when he learned that it
contained $50 Is worth of gold to the
ton. By and by he found earth that
contained S35 to the ton, then S62, then
$3.50, and on the 18th inst. he struck
rock which seems to be fall of fine gold,
and is supposed to be worth 5000 per
ton! The Sierras on the east can boast

To suck an orange. Nor did he
Fer cast the shuttle cock to battedore,
Nor wore his trousers ever out at knee,
From playing marbles on the kitchen floor,
He never skated DER the frozen ri,
When winters covering o er the earth was spread
Nor gded down the slippery hill,
With pretty glrls on has trusty sled.
He never swung upon has fathers gate,
Or slept IN sunshine on the cellar door,

Nor spun hrs hummIng top upon the floor.

And stamps loves lesson, page by page,
On the glowing tablets Of youns lIns's heart
He never wandered forth on moonlight nights

Nor tried to mount old Pindar's rocky heights
Because he fancIed love had lent him wings,
