Bsy A story is told Of a grave divine on
Cape Cod, not long since, who awoke from a
comfortable nap in his chair, and discovered
his amiable helpmate in the performance of an
act for which Gov Marcy once made charge
of fifty cents to the State-in other words
mending his pantaloons. Inspired with love
of fun which seldom affected him, he enquired,
Why are you, my dear, like the evil adversa-

was unable to discover any resemblance. Be-

gone thrOhgh the greatest eXertons, and his

that he suffered much from the lack Of bodily

Peter is represented as a man of larger and
stronger form, as his character was harsher

revealed themselves in the flashes of dark
eye. The complexion of his face was full and
sallow and the short hair which is described
as entirely gray at the time Of his death, curl

have probably some foundation in truth, we
take them as helps to tie Imagination.

UNSE E N r EARS .

Unseen tears are like river,
Springing from the mountain high,
Gliding misunderstanding ever
Hidden from the gazing eye:
None may mark the tear-drop starting
From aflictiOp's bitter smart
None may heed the hope departing,
From the broken, bleeding heart.
When alone, in silent sadness,
Comes the heartfelt gushing tear,
Quenching every ray Of gladness-
Quickening every anxious fear;
Then, indeed, we feel the sorrow,
Bursting from a soul of wo--
Shadow of the gloomy morrow,
Growing darker as we go.
Heartfelt anguish is retiring
From the worlds unhaHowed eye:
Solitude to griefs inspiring,
Freeing every struggling sigh.
Thus the spirit bears the wringing
Sorrow brings in dreary tone,
While our ceaseless cares are bringing
Countless fears, because unknown.
'Tis within the souls recesses,
Deep and hidden from the view,
Where the heart-pang closely presses,
Shifting every vital through.
When the raging fame of sorrow
Boils the caldron of the heart,
Scalding tears will reach the furrow,
And the eyclids feel the smart.
Could we see the inner weeping
OF the dark despairing soul,
Think you we d neglect the keeping,
Or unheed our brothers call?
But, alas i! the world is telling
Startling things of human wo,
While ten thousand hearts are dwelling
On the ggiefs but One can know.

III. L.. Jennings.

The Office OF County Treasurer is the one
to which Mr.. Jennings has been nominated
by the Democrats Of Butte county. A bet
ter selection could not possibly have been
made. An old resident of Butte, tho
orougbly identified with her best interests
and known to be one of the most faithful ana
reliable business men of the county, he IS q
singular fortunate nomination, and sure as
he is Of election, we foretell his term oil
Office will beth result to the advancement OF
the county's welfare and rebound to his own
honor. MIR. Jennings is in fact one OF the
most substantial, permanent men in this por-
ton of the State.
Such men as this are the proper kind to
select for our Offices, and so long as our pub
lie affairs are conducted by them, matters
will prosper and the county continue to
maintain her present fiourishing condition.
Mr.. Jennings is not only entirely qualified
but is rigidly and scrupulously honest in oil
his dealings. and a man in whom the COM
munity at large has the most implicit con-
fdence.

New STEAMER For ORovILLE.-We learn
from the Morning call that a contract
has been concluded between Capt. Mills OF
Sacramento and James c. Cozzens of San
Francisco. for the construction of the hull
of a new light draft steamer, to be run be-
tween Sacramento and Oroville during the
low stage of water in the Feather River.
The machinery of the steamer Oroville will
be transferred to the new boat. Her di-
mensions will be 1876 feet keel; % feet beam
and 24 feet hold, and she will draw about
ten inches water.
Success to the enterprise. 1t having been
so fully demonstrated that Feather River IS
navigable and capable of being continued
so and improved, is an earnest that the pro-
ject will succeed, if prosecuted with due
perseverance.

W. w. Hobart.

This gentleman who has so long served
the county as q deputy under Mr.. Freer is
so universally known in the county, that a
notice of who he is and what his qualifications
are, is perhaps superfuous in this article.
Snffice it to say, that after the withdrawal
of his only competitor, Mr. Brown, he was
declared as by one voice, the nominee of
the Convention. Mr.. Hobart deserves this
confidence from the people of this county,
having proved so amply by his industry
and energy to be so perfectly fitted for the
Office, and so capable of filling it as it should
be filled. He has resided in the county since
80, has married and settled here, and is as
much part and parcel of the county as the
name she bears. 1t would be folly for any
man to contend with him for the Office, and
he and the party may rest assured of his
election. 1t is by the nomination of men
like Mr.. Hobart that the Democratic ticket
is to triumph in September next.

We Want a Theatre.

We have endeavored in several previous
have signifed an intention to build the
atre, that the enterprise should be speedily
pushed forward as being an investment
which would certainly "pay' and be of vast
benft to the town. The articles in ques-
tion seemed to excite responsive feeling
from certain parties at the time, but since
then the matter has remained in statu quo,
and we are apparently as far from having a
suitable place for the exercise of the drama
now, as we were when the ashes of the old
theatre were yet warm.
Not only as an aid to business, but as an
important and very material element for
the advancement and preservation of morals
and intellectual inclinations, is decent
theatre needed in Oroville, The present
substitute for q theatre, the Musical Hall,
is totally untitled in size and arrangements
fer theatrical or musical performances, and
the fact that it is occupied but compare.
tive few nights in the month, is no criterion
from which TO adduce the idea that a we'll
arranged and commodious theatre would
prove other than good investment. Mr.
Morris tells US that the old frame theatre,
meagre as it was in its appointments and
idle as it seemed so much of the time, ac-
tually netted him some three thousand dol
lars in ten months--cash, besides ''outstan.
ding assets" A good theatre ought most
assuredly to pay as well as that old shanty
and so it would. and better too, for let it bat
be known that we have respectable, COM
Portable place for actors to play in and for
audiences to occupy, and our theatrical
"seasons" will be as regular as any other
city in the State, and fully as profitable.
We know of parties who are anxious to
come here-responsibe ones-who would be
willing to engage the theatre for consider
able period, who are kept away knowing
there is no suitable place in the town
wherein they cal. exhibit
If there is no one business man in the
city who is able or willing to undertake the
enterprise alone, let company be formed,
and set the ball rolling at once orovllie IS

which there is no theatre, but should remain

times in this respect if la nothing else.

The State Convention.

To-day the Democratic State Convention
will meet at Sacramento for the nomination
of State officers And we believe it right,
much as has been said and written against
the convention system, that the people
should thus assemble, by their representa-.
tives or delegates, to compare their thoughts.
to canvass and discuss State and national
principles and policy, and to decide upon the
men they believe most competent to carry
out the principles and policy decided upon
by the party.
That the convention system has Its evils
M one can deny-but this is the imperfect
ion of humanity. 1t would be the widest
dream of Utopianism, to look for perfection
in human theories or human institutions.
All we can do, is to select from the many
plans devised, that which is most calculated
to secure the object for which it is intended,
and to follow that plan, until oneis present.
ed which will effect the same result, accom-
panied by fewer evils. We do not believe
that system has yet been presented.
The Democratic party are now, and ever
have been fighting for principles. Their
motto has ever been measures. not men, y
And it is their adherence to this motto, their
devotion, we might almost term it, which
has enabled the party to triumph over
Whiggery, Know FOthingism, Republican
ism, and all the other isms, that have been
forced into short lived existence, as the
enemies and opponents of Democracy. And
in the achievement of this long series OF
victories, the convention system has played
no subordinate part. 1t has been as bond
of union for the party, and has given to the
party that union which Is strength. For
this, if for nothing else, we are willing to
abide by that system. And it is fact,
pregnant with meaning, that it is not from
the Democratic party we hear the complaints
against conventions, but from the enemies
of the Democratic party and of Democratic
principles. They feel, and judging from the
past, very justly too, that so long as the De-
mocracy are united, the Democracy are in.
vincible. Our enemies know that their only
hope of defeating us, is by dividing US; and
to divide us, they attack that which assists
SO strongly in binding us together. True tc
ourselves. and true to the principles of the
party, we ueed fear no combination our enc.
mics can make against US, but let their coun.
tsels once divide us, and we are at the mercy
of any combination they may form.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT One Of the most
heart-rending accidents ever called to our
notice. says the Sierra Democrat. occurred
on Thursday evening last. The circum-
stances as near as we can learn are as fol-
lows: Mr.. Baylcy, who owns ranch on the
North Fork, near town, was returning to
his house with his gun on his shoulder. His
little son, about eighteen months old; was
seated in box used for swing, when he
called to his father "to swing George"
His father pushed the swing, and in doing so
the rope caught on the hammer of the pieC g
and the whole contents lodged in the body of
his child. The load went through the box
of the swing and drove the splinters into the
thigh and groin of the of the boy. Medical
aid was of no avail, the child not living
many minutes.
The feelings of the afflicted father and
mother can better be conceived than de.
scribed. They are truly to be pitied.

that set hitherwards as to the centering
point of vast and populous county, We
issued the first number of our little sheet
at that time the only daily newspaper in the
mines. The experiment-and it was one,
and of most dubious nature at that-has,
thanks to kind Providence and the liber-
ality of our patrons, been successful one,
and spite of all the dangers that have at
thrown in our way, we yet live and have a
being, and as at the end Of season of trial
and probation, pronounce the experiment
triumph, and declare ourselves fully satisfied
with the result. We are now fixture in
Oroville, and shall endeaver to maintain
ourselves as such. Whatever enemies we
have made, either politically or otherwise,
none can say we have not used our utmost

AS the organ of the Democracy of Butte

the fight of faith, and shall continue to do
so as long as we form a part of the California
