IoCKwooD's SCHooL.--EXHIBITIoN.--
The exhibition Of the Masters and Mis-
ses of Mr.. Lockwood's School, SO long
anxious, Y awaited by the children, came
off as per programme on Tuesday eve
ming. The dress circle of Frisbie's The
atre was full, and other parts of the
house well supplied with listeners. We
have heard no other than remarl Of
admiration for the manner the exercises
were performed. The children were
arranged in a semi-circle on the stage
and presented a beautiful appearance.
Miss Kent, though little timid at
first, deliv cred the salutatory in cred
table manner.
Miss Overton sang Ellen Bayne in
excellent style. Miss Churchman, exc
cuted her various pieces in fine style
throughout the entire exhibition. Miss
Mead sang Maggie's by my Side, rather
low, but very well. Misses Williams
and Thomas came off the stage in a
cleditable manner. But Miss Pooler
was the star of the evening. She is but
ten years of age, and yet no one could
have have recited Poe's Raven better
On its conclusion she was roundly cheer
ed and called before the curtain. The
Maniac, though a difficult piece she re-
peated in splendid style. But when she
came to deliver the Parting of Marmion
and Douglas the audience could stand
it no longer, and betook themselves to
their pockets and scattered near twenty
dollars upon the stage. Miss Pooler
sang on several occasions very sweetly.
Masters Tweed and Senner acquitted
themselves admirably in tue dialogue
between Brutus and Cassius, and in 9TH
Ell pieces. The other boys ought to
have spoken palmer and louder to be
heard by the audience, which they will
! doubtless remember next time. We al
most forgot to notice the splendid man
ner in which Miss Kent sang Kitty
Clyde. 1t took the house by storm.
The valedic.ory of Miss Williams was
just the one for the occasion.
Much credit is due Mr. Lockwood for
the fine conduct Of his pupils on the
stage, and the excellect training they
evinced in the execution of their parts.
The weather was stormy and very
nnfavorable, but the receipts were gen
erous, amounting to 1920, which is to
be appropriated to the liquidation of the
debt which accrued at the building of
the school house.

Journals Of the Eighth Sessiom-We
have received the Journals of the last
session of the Legislature. They are
gotten up in about the usual style, the
only difference being in an index by
which the contents of the volumes can
be determined, which has never been
the case heretofore. There is a deci-
ded Improvement in this respect in the
books before us over any of their prede-
cessors, for which journalists and politi-
clans will be thankful.

THE Tel EGRAPH LINE.-As might
have been expected the public mind in
this vicinity were in state of excite
ment as soon as the steamer was known
to be due at San Francisco. And as
each day was added to the time, the ex
element became more and more intense
Bat just as the anxiety of the public be-
came no longer bearable we had the
very consoling Information impaired to
us that the telegraph line was down.
Some ten or twelve hours after the steam
er arrived at the Bay, we learned she
was in but not single item of news
came with the Information to allay pub
lie terment The steamer ar. lived on
Tuesday morning and the first informa-
ton came by mail at about II o'clock
ON Wednesday night. What is the use
OF a telegraphic line if quart of de-
scending water is to PROSTATE it, or a
gust of wind that would scarcely raise
wave as large as jack-knife handle,
blow it away Somehow when any
news of more than usual interest is to
be transmitted the line from here to Sac.
ramento is almost sure to be down.

such a rare occasion.

Sam Brannaa's Ba@k-We call at
tention to the advertisement of Sam
Brannan in another column. He has
established banking house in San
Francisco, pledging unincumbered pro-
pertv to the amount of S45O,OOO for the
security of depositors. The plan of such
a bank was measurably proposed years
ago by the Sacramento Union, and Of
fers the b st security against losses to
depositors. If the property pledged
was held in trust by the State the thing
would be as perfect as it could well be.
But placed as it is in the hands of hon
orable men, as we conceive it to be, the
Bank of Sam Brannan offers better in
ducements than any institution of its
kind in the State.

Mss Emma Staniey.-Judging from
the very high encomiums passed ON this
lady by the press generally wherever
she has appeared, we are led to suppose
Miss Stanley can be no other than one
Of the most versatile and wonderful ac-
tresses on the boards We are told she
sings sweetly and with extraordinary
power in half dozen different langua-
ges, and appears with remarkable rapid
lty in as many as twenty-four different
characters and costumes, suiting her
voice to ;he parts with astonishing pow
er. We will have an opportunity to see
this wonderful prodigy on Friday and
Saturday evenings next, when Miss
Stanley will appear at Frisbie's Theatre
in Seven Ages of Woman, taking all
the parts of the play herself; and APP
pearing in twenty four characters male
and female, old and young. We shall

4 ,Stumper.-A miner III the Butte
Record, gets Caxton where the wool is
short. Hear him:
I'VE haveprospceted in vain through
the whole of your literary deposit Of
bold assertions, skilful insnuations and
generalities, and ingenious antiquities
in search of the deep but hidden nature
of the impending evil which your supe-
rior saeacity has alone discerned. Now,
as humble co-workers with you, in the
great cause of their emancipation, and
before a compliance with the edict, that
'they too must combine" can be expect
ed the miners may, perhaps, require
some further evidence that ''every 9TH
er great interest of the State" has COM
bined to 'plunder and Cypress" them
They would also esteem it a favor, if
you would designate wherein they suf-
fered, from the studied contempt with
which the legislatures, courts aud Gov
crnors have treated them. For the
first time it is now revealed to them that
in their supreme stupidity, they have,
during seven long years, remained OBJ
iivious of how, when, where, or of what
they lave been ''plundered." Sir, we
impatiently await further illumination
from your profound and prolific pen to
show us the nature and extent Of our
losses"
No more hifalutin, Caxton, but come
down to the work and give that imperti-
nent miner a snubber. Here's chance
to make modern Colossus of Rh0dcs
not altogether of brass which shall be
the wonder Of miners if not the world.

School Erhibiti0R.-ln consequence
of the inclemency of the weather on
Tuesday night, a large number of per-
sons interested in the cause of education
were unable to attend the Exhibition of
the scholars of Mr.. Lockwood's School,
and thereby lost the best treat of the
season. We have heard it suggested
that the children will give repetition
of the entertainment some time in the
future. We like the idea; but let us
have fine weather first. 1t is important
TO the children, as well as patrons.

NEW BANKS Conc INTO OpERATios.-In Penn
sylvania o whole sboal Of new banks has been
created, and they are about going into opera
ton, increasing the circulation Of paper money,
widening speculation and augmenting prices and
the measure Of values. 1t is probable that In the
whole country the bank capital will be increased
this year fifty or sixty millions, which viii give
one or two hundred millions more Of credits, thus
increasing the tendency of the times and hasten

RAILROAD DErREuATos.-w sec Il stated
that railroad Ia the Western part of the State

cold for Eve hundred thousand, or at the rate of
about twelve and half cents on the dollar. Sc

State Of Pennsylvania owns canals which cost
forty or City millions, and OF the last session Of
the Legislature they were offered for one-ssvensb
of the original cost; but nobody would have them
at that rate. The truth of the matter IL that

RAILROAD FnANUrsRs-Our old friend, ex-
Secretary Marcy, is at Albany, patching
up bic private affairs previous to his departure
for London, a. resident financial agcut of the
Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Rail-
road Company. This company have just issued
guaranteed, preferred, condensed ten psr cent
stock; and having, under the operation of the
Peter Funk game, induced large subscriptions
here, are anxious to getJobn Bull to take small
lot for permanent investment. The company re-
served portion Of this grand issue for foreign
capitalists; but as IL is not so certain that they
will take 1t, the services of ex-Secretary
Marcy have been engaged to convince the more
dulous of the safety and pro6tableness Of this
new investment. The salary of the ex-Secretary
will of course be large, for the Michigan South
ern Railroad Company is known to be very rich
and very liberal The real interests of the
stockholders have not, we are sorry to say, been
30 much considered In this instance az in the issue
of the three million Of guaranteed, preferred,
ten per cent stock. The outfit, salary and
perquisites of ex-Secretary Marcy might have
been all saved The greatest Anancier Of the
age-no less genius than P. T. Baroum, ESD
is in London or Paris, out of an engagement;
and as he is just the man the Michigan Southern
Rail- DAD Company want there is no use in send
ing out Marcy. Banum knows exactly all the
ropes of ancient and modern fnanciering. He
has not lost jot of his tact or talent for negO-
tiatirg, and can beat Marcy in any financial ope-
ration he may attempt 1t is, therefore, perfect
folly to send out Marcy when Barnum is on the
very apot. In every particular Barnum is a
better man for the Michigan Southern Railroad
Company than Marcy. 1t Is well known In Wall
street that broken down politicians make misera-
bic fnanciers for railroad companies. British
capitalists do not like tue breed, and put them
of with pretty promises. Now. Barnum is q
sbrewd, practical man, and would be just in his
element in negotiating for the sale of Michigan
Southern Railroad stock. There is just humbug
enough about it to call forth all his natural in
etincts and give him renewed vigor. It is pity
for the success Of this railroad cOmpany's schemes
that the Albany clique of stock Spectators and
financiers cannot put Marcy tosome other use just
now. The company cannot, however, rescind
the appointment. II is now, We fear, too late
Something like three thousand shares of this
Michigan Southern guaranteed, preferred, con-
densed ten per cent stock was taken In Albany,
solely for the purpose of pensioning of Marcy,
at the expense Of the old stockholders of that
company.
