ATTENTION LoAPERs The Sacramento Bee
says there are about three hundred loafers in
that city who have not performed days work
for many months, being too lazy to do anything
but beg or sponge on their neighbors, friends
and the public, and some means should be
adopted to get rid Of them Immediately. The
Bee, very innocently, recommends them TO go
to the mines. We have plenty of such harbor-
ing around every mining Camp, living OF OF
prostitution, or their wits. Not many months
ago the miners of some interior Camps shipped
few down to where they could get grub, less
the price of freight We go in for having these
never-sweats located at San Francisco where
they could be supported without the additional
charge of freight, added, to the price of their
subsistence supplies. The Legislature has very
wisely and humanely provided for them, in the
/" Law Regulating vagrancy," as follows:
Sec. l. All persons, except Digger Indians,
who have no visible means of living. who in
ten days do not seek employment, nor labor
when employment is offered to them all healthy
beggars, who travel with written statements OF
their misfortnnes, all persons who roam about
from place to place without any lawful business,
all lewd and dissolute persons who live in and
about houses Of il.-fame, &C., may be commit
ted to jail and sentenced to hard labor for such
time as the court, &c., shall think proper, not
exceeding ninety days"

BSg- Judge Claiborne, of Louisiana, well
known as Judge Dick Claiborne, was a
parish magistrate, who swayed a sceptre
like a despot, usually dispensing justice,
but putting his own Interpretation on the
lac. Among other duties devolved on
him was that Of auctioneer He sold all
the property III the parish that came under
the hammer. 1t happened ON one occa-
sion, while selling out the property of a
deceased grocer, that an unruly parishoner
disturbed the order of business by his
noise and nonsense. The auctioneer, in
the person of the Judge, fined him fifty
dollars, and sent him to jail for contempt
of court. An application was made by an
attorney to remit the fine and release the
prisoner, on the ground that it was no con-
tempt of court as the judge, when fulfill
ing the duties of an auctioneer, was not a
court, and therefore not liable to contempt
The Judge Immediately drew himself up
with ali his dignity, and replied to the
lawyer
"Sir, I'll let you know that am judge
of this parish; Judge all the time; judge
from the rising of the sun to the going
down thereof and rising again; and as
such | am always, and everywhere, an
object of contempt"
[ agree with your honor, and with
draw the application, said the attorney !;
and the man had to make an apology to
get out.

There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in a medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power the bodily suf-
ferlng. Human nature at best is but frail all
are liable to misfortune
Of all the ills that affect man. none arc more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread

trlghtful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
tion, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case how necessary il
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and educa1.on
enables him to warrant safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become peffect master Of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.

He looked cold, and half-perambulated

"A wall of brass, looking for a chance to
warm his shins. Nobody moved, how
ever; and, unable to sit down, for lack of
chair, he did the next best thing-leaned
against the wall, " with tears in his fists
and his eyes doubled up'-and listened to
the discussion on the proper way of serving
referee on warrant deed, as if he was
the judge to decide the matter Soon he
attracted the attention of the company,

shutting his eyes, and drawing round the

peared through the slit in his cheek, "you Il
