OFFICIAL BoNDs.-The law enacted
by the Legislature of 1858, concerning
official and other bonds, is one of the
most stringent and salutary upon the
statute books. Under the act nearly
twenty-five per cent. of all the property
in the State must be pledged for the
good faith of the State, county and town
officers. If the law is properly enforc-
ed there can be no possibility of the
people being swindled by irresponsible
officers.

"CONTEMPTERIBLE IMPERsITIoN. -
An editor while travelling, had his wal

adroit pick-pocket, while indulging in a
short nap. The thief was so Disguised
with the result of his exploit, that he
returned the plumber by express, to the
address written inside the wallet, with
the following note:

You've GENlUS.-Genius, when young,
is divine. Why, the greatest captains
of ancient and modern times both con-
quered Italy at twenty five Youth,
extreme youth, overthrow the Persian
empire. Don John of Austria, won Le-
panto at twenty-fve-the greatest bat
tie of modern times: had it not been for
the jealousy of Philip, the next year he
would have been Emperor of Maurita-
MIA Castor de Folk was only twenty
two when he stood victor OH the plains
of Ravenna. Every one remembers
Condo and Rocroy at the same age
Gustavus Adolphus died at thirty-eight.
Look at his captains-that wonderful
Duke Of Wiemar, only thirty-six when
he died. Baner himself, after all his
miracles, died at forty-fve. Cortez was
little more than thirty when he gazed
upon the golden cupolas of Mexico
When Maurice Of Saxogy died at thir-
ty-two, all Europe acknowled the loss
of the greatest captain and the pro-
foundest statesman of the age Then,
there is Nelson, Give; but these are
warriors, and perhaps you may think
there are greater things thaa war
Take, then, the most illustrious
achievement of civil prudence limo
cent III, the greatest of the popes, was
the despot Of Christendom at thirty-sev-
en-. John de Medici was cardinal at
fifteen; and, Guicciardini tells us, baf-
fled with his craft Ferdinand de Aragon
himself. He was Pope as Leo X. at
thirty-seven. Take Ignatius Loyola
and John Wesley; they worked with
young brains. Ignatius vas only thirty
when he made his pilgrimage, and wrote
the Spiritual Exercises. Pascal (the
greatest Of Frenchmen) wrote a great
work at sixteen, and died at thirty-sev-
en-. All, that fatal thirtv-seven! which
reminds me Of Byron-g-eater even. as
man than as a writer Was it expe-
rience that guided the pencil Of Raphael
when he painted the palaces of Rome !
lie died at thirty-seven. Richelieu was
Secretary Of State at thirty-one. Then
there are Bolingbroke and Pitt, both
ministers before other men leave off
cricket. Grotius was in practice at
seventeen, and attorney general at
twcnty-four. And Acquavia-Acqua-
via was General of the Jesuiis, ruled
every cabinet in Europe, and colonized
America before he was thirty-seven.-
What a career! the secret sway of Eu-
rope! That was indeed a position -
But it is needless to multiply instances.
The history of heroes is the history of
youth-DisyaeH.

A MAMMOTH WAGoN.-The editor of

mense wagon now building in that city,
and designed for exhibition at the ap-
preaching State Fair. The fine work
manship visible in every department of
the machinery connected with it, and its
nj Mammoth proportions, are alike objects
OF wonder and admiration. 1t combines
the latest improvements, among which
a re the newly invented hub and boxing
apparatus, both of which are from de-
signs furnished by Mr.. Skiff, formerly a
partner the firm constructing the vehicle
bht at present re iding in the Atlantic
s tates, whose long experience in the
nd manufacture of the IRON works of wagons
Suggested these improvements, which
are now practically and successfully
tested The wagon will carry a freight
Of about $4,000 pounds over ordinary
dads. and when completed, will, no
doubt, be feature in the Fair, for the
wondering eyes of thousands not famil
lar with the sight of large wagons.

The lNCOMINGs AND OUTGOINGS.-
The arrivals and departures from this
State by water, for the quarter ending
Sept, 3Oth, as shown by the Custom
House records, stand: Arrivals, 6,O6S;
departures, 1925. Of the arrivals, g.
975 were from the Atlantic States, and
2,912 from China. Of the departures,
2,944 were for the Atlantic States, and
$50 for China. Thus it will be seen
that the people of the Atlantic States
are not populating California. The 60
ings nearly equal the comings, so far as
the water travel is concerned, but we
may gain little by land travel. The
immigrants from China, for the three
months just past, nearly equal those
from the Atlantic States, and the former
mainly remain, while the latter do not.
The San Francisco Chronicle of Friday,
ID alluding to these figures, says:
The stantliug fact appears, from this
table, that our chief increase of popula-
ton by sea now comes from China. Ia
king out the Chinese arrivals and depar-
lures, and our whole gain during the
last quarter is less than one hundred!
To this must be added the arrivals by
steamer due tomorrow The record
will not vary much from the above, at
the end Of the month. The only graft
flying feature in this exhibit is the dis
proportion in our favor between the ar
rivals and departures Of our country
women.
The quarter ending July 3oth gave,
as our arrivals, 7,743; departures, A.
sos; gain, 2,S46; or l, 270 males, 1,122
females, and 344 children, added to our
population. This made our whole in
crease for the first half of the year 1927,
to-wit: 1873 males, 1,797 females, and
625 children. Add 2,140, returns for
present quarter up to this time, and we
have G,43S as the total increase of our
population by sea during the periods
most favorable to its augmentation, a.
gainst 1900 gain for the first nine
months Of last year.

The "PHANToM KING" OF DELHI.-
Sir Charles Napier, in his Indian Mis-
government" recommended that the
phantom King of Delhi" as he called
him, should be removed from Delhi to
Futtypoor, ''as within its palace he
forms more rallying point round which
gather the dreams of disconnected prin-
ces feeding upon prophecies" and he
finished his memorandum with these re-
markable words: Il can have no other
motive to influence me than that which
has all along guided me-the interest of
the East India Company, and early
preparation for that storm which may
some day burst upon its possessions"

joys and griefs are left behind us; we
may be shipwrecked, but cannot anchor;
our voyage may be FASTENED, but cannot
be delayed; whether rough or smooth,
the river hastens towards its haven, the
roaring of the waves is beneath our

our last leave of earth and its inhabit-
