THE MAADEN's PRAYER.

~
She rose from her delicious slaep.
And put away her soft broF*n bar,
And in a tone as low and deep
As Ewes first whisper, breathed a prayer.
Her snow-white hands together pressed.
Her blue eyes sheltered in the Iilr
The folded linen on her breast.
Just swelling with the charms It hid,
And from her long and flowing dress,
Escaped a bare and snowy foot,
Whose steps upon the earth did press
Like q snowflake, white ana mute;
And then from slumbers soft and warm.
Like a young spirit fresh from Heaven,
She bowed her light and matchless form,
And hlmbly prayed to be forgiven.
Oh, God! il souls unsoiled as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne;
IF she upon her Bonded knees,
Our hottest and purest one;
She with a face so clear ard bright.
We deem her some stray child Of high:
II she with those soft eyes in tears.
Day after day in her young years,
Mu kneel and pray for grace from Thee
What far, far deeper need have we!
How hardly, if she win not Heaven,
VIII our wild errors be forgiven:

The friends Of Mr.. Morris assembled in
goodly numbers last aight, to witness Mr..

larlp partial to this great play that VIC ex
press ourselves as we do, but we cannot re.
sist the conclusion that Of all the characters
we have seen Mr. Fleming sustain, his Rich.
elieu is the best calculated to display his rare
truthfulness and vigor Of the scene between
the Cardinal and Dc Mauprat when the lat
ter attempts Rchelieu's assassination, and
:he great closing scene in which the wonder.
ful power of the priesthood is SO startlingly
displayed. 1t is indeed difficult to decide
between the merits Of Mr.. Fleming's Hamlet
and his Richelicu. they are both SO very cx.
cellent and yet SC widely different in char
acter. This gentleman's personation Of Rich
ard and Macbeth were most excellent, but
such pieces are certainly not calculated for
the small stage of our little theatre We
believe Mr.. Fleming is to appear in Marys.

commenting him to the citizens of that city,

To morrow night Mr.. Brown takes his ben

character of Othello " Little Toddlekins"
being selected as the after.piece Mr..
Brown deserves well Of our citizens, and we
hope he may be greeted by well filled

RErURNED.--We were agreeably sur-
prised yesterday, to meet our old friend
Capt. Jackson, for several years prominent
citizen of Butte county and one of her most
enterprising miners. The Captain has just
returned from " Ameriky," whittier he went
last July, intimating the probability of his
remaining there, but the "cOppers" Of old
Massachusetts and the difficulty he expert
enced in buying what he wanted with such
unknown coins as slugs and twenty dollar
pieces, forced him to return hither with his
family. We welcome the Captain back.

The Day Book gravely infor ms its readers
that
The British Aristocracy have labored

This is what may be called decidedly rich.

We had never supposed that the British ar
istocracy was altogether immaculate, nor
that, as body, it was compound of the

of being so utterly daft as to desire to de-
moralize American society, much less that it
was foolish enough to expcnd such a fright.

Topics of the Day.

WE find in the New York Weekly News, n
letter from the Hon. Robert j. Walker,
President of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, defending himself and company
against certain charges contained in the
Washington correspondence of the New
York Herald. The correspondent states
that Mr.. Walker was interested in securing
the passage Of bill aPwopriating land to
different railroad companies, to aid in the
construction Of a railroad to the Pacific. and
after refuting the statements of the cores
pondent, and the conclusions deducod there
from by the Herald, Mr.. Walker proceeds to
furnish some valuable and interesting in.
formation concerning the prospects of the
company of which he is member. As this
is a subject in which Cnifornians are deeply
interested, we have drawn upon Mr.. Walk
er's communication, FOR such information
rs shows the prospect and progress of the
Company now constructing road upon
what is termed the Southern route to the
Pacific Speaking of the prog ress already
made upon that route, Mr. Walker says:
"Under the able guidance of the eminent
practical and scientific engineer, Horatio AL
len, of the Novelty works of New York. so
we'll and favorably known in this city,
now Mt the head OF our company, and who,
against opposing European opinions, was the
first to propose, in his great report of 1929,
to the Charleston and Augusta Railroad, the
use OF locomotive engines upon railroads, we
are prosecuting the work successfully thro'
Texas, and will carry the road eight hund-
red miles Trough that State from its east
ern to its western boundary at FL Paso,
without any grant of land or money from
Congress Aided by munifcent grants of
lands and money from Texas, sustained by
the recent vote Of more than two-thirds of
the Legislature Of that State, and by the
nearly unanimous voice OF her people, with
their roads progressing to meet us from her
gulfcoast, we have now surmounted the ma
ny Obstacles thrown in our way so long, by
error, interest or prejudice. The first gee
ton Of our road is nearly ready for the rail
one thousand tuns Of the best PENNSYLVANIA
railroad iron have been already shipped, and
will soon be laid on the track while all the
money, to complete ready for use the next
section Of fifteen miles, has been provided"
In speaking in favor of the southern route
Mr. Walker disclaims any intention to dis
Iarage the claims and advantages of other
routes, the practicability of which may be
demonstrated by instrumental surveys, and
thinks that other roads will be found neces-
sary in time; but is of the opinion that the
road along the southern route will be the
first completed. 1t is certain that the
southern route has advantages over the
ether routes, as the large grants of lands
and money furnished by Texas, render the
completion of eight hundred miles of the
road no longer problematical.
In concluding his able and lengthy COM
mdnication, MIR. Walker avows his determi.
nation to continue the good work, until he
can traverse the continent, from New York
to San Francisco by railroad

DEATH OF Col. SUTTER-The Panama
correspondent of the Bulletin announces
the death of Col. Sutter, as taken from the
Boletin Official. Ii is reported that he was
killed in one of this recent battles between
Walker and the Costa Ricans but no intel
ligence of his death reached here on the
last Nicaragua steamer. Col. Sutter was
son of Gen. John A. Sutter, and a young
man of great promise, and his death will be
severe blow to his father. We hope to
hear by the Sierra Nevada, now due, that he
is not dead.
