MORALITY OF DIVORCES. - Speaking
one day of the early Romans, Mr.. Web
ster said he could almost believe every-
thing related by historians of their extra
ordinary virtues, public and domestic,
when he dwelt upon the fact that, THOUGH
their laws authorized divorce, yet for the
first five hundred years, no individual ever
availed himself of such license alt
was the domestic training he said u;t
was the mother who made a Publicola
Camlllus and Coriolanus. Women. nro-
tected by the inviolability of the nunt;al
bond, were invested with dignity that
gave authority to instruction. and made
the domestic hearth the nursery of heroes
Public virtues, he said, fell with nr;vate
morality Under imperial Rome divorces
were sought for and obtained unon the
most frivolous pretexts, and all domestic
coincidence was destroyed. The inevitable
consequence was the loss of nubl;c NOR.
allty Men who had been false to their
private T, obligations would not be true to
their public duties. The sanctitv of the
nuptlal bond is, in my opinion, the prin-
clpal if not the chief cause Of the supe-
raor refinement, freedom and prosperity
enjoyed at the present time by Christian

Schools and Colleges are leading feature Of
San Jose and Santa Clara. In the latter place
is located the Boys Catholic College, under the
control of the Padres at the Convent. The price
of tuition is S41o per year, with two months
July and ends the lst of September; the Sec
ond on the goth of December and ends on the
9Th of January. The scholars are subjected tc
strict discipline-can read and study secta-
rian books, use the Protestant Bible, &C., but
are compelled to attend mass each morning
and are not allowed to go out unless accompa-
MED by teacher. Great care is taken of the
health of the scholars, and a considerable time
each day is devoted to athletic exercises and
sports; it is, probably, the best school for boys
in the State. The average number of pupils
for the last year was from 80 to $50.
The Girls school at San Jose, is large three
story brick building with basement), sur
rounded by a high brick wall, enclosing three
acres of ground. The school is conducted by
the Nuns, in nearly the same manner as the
boys school, except they are more particular

numerously patronized than the boys; the price
of tuition is less and the accommodations su-
perior. Although in each school the Catholic
religion is prevailing feature, yet in neither is
it absolute or manifested to those who do not
wish to comply with its rules, except in the sim
gle instance of mass, and the recreations on
stated holidays. We conyersed freely with sew

thought freely, acted freely, and at the same
time exhibited refinement seldom witnessed
in California, where SO much prudishness and
Goldfish snobbery prevail.

Mining News.


On last Sunday we went out on Chaparel
Hill, to look at the new and superb flume
recently erected by Mr. Ed. Purple for the
Union Ditch After admiring the fume,
its straightness, strength and durability,
our attention was directed to the rich min
ing claims on either side of Chaparel Hill.
Those on the North side we have hereto.
fore noticed as paying well. Since our
former visit extensive ground sluicing has
been carried on in the gulch at the reser-
voir near the end of the Ditch, as much as
$40 per day to the hand has been made,
while " cleaning up" On the South side
of the hill, facing the Calaveras, are some
rich claims The claim of Messrs. Wright
man & Co., is now paying s13 per day to
the man. A little West, on the same slope,
is the claim of Bill Burgess Il Co., which
are also doing well, and will continue to
make good wages as longas the water lasts.
Most of the piles of dirt on Gold Hill,
wheeled out the past summer, have been
washed out and have generally paid we'll
New DIGGINGs.-Mr. A. S. Jones, du-
ring last week, struck new diggings on
Specimen Gulch, which pays from 81 to
81 to the pan. Some seven or eight holes
have been sunk, each showing equally as
fair prospect, and trailing the gold into the
hill. This place had been heretofore
worked in 1858, until the lead was lost,
and was very rich;-when Mr.. Jones had
worked up rich lead to near the place,
where he now again discovered the gold
Of the specimens taken from the gulch,
one was exhibited to us made into breast
pin, certainly one of the most beautiful and
unique ornaments ever worn.
QUARTZ DISCOVERY. A party of
Frenchmen, who had sunk, in 1858, a
deep hole in Five Pound Gulch, near the
brick yard, in search of quartz, returned
last week and commenced operations by
ground-sluicing They soon struck a rich
lead of gold-bearing quartz, appareutly a
=" float from the main lead. They took
out $50 the first day, of the discovery,
and as much as hundred dollars per day,
has been made since then. AS this is not
the main lead, the discovery is of not
much Importance. In fact some old
quartz miners seem to think that the vein
may be many miles from where the gold
was found.
