THE WAY INDIANS ARE TREATED.-The
following extract from the San Diego Herald
will convey some idea of the treatment to
which Indians are subjected in some parts
of the country. 1t is not surprising that
we have Indian wars and bloody massacres:
"a lot of greasers had 6atle the other
evening and as if that was not enough for
one ni@ht, they turned to and stoned poor
Indian, belonging to Mrs. Marion. till he
quietly lay down and died. This is consi-
dered fine sport, and as our magistrates
don't trouble themselves about such little
matters, the play will probably be repeated
on the next occasion, with perhaps slight
variations

hanuS IL 10 tue spectators. InlS Il The
winding up of the charm. The assem-
bled persons handle the fruit, and see
ohing in it in the slightet degree diff
ferent f ON the ordinary fruit of the
mango, elaborated by the slow vegeta-
ton OF months. Our informant on
these points eat portion portion. of
the fruit brought forth by this juggl~y
and found it to taste exactly like the
raw mango. The whole process, nov
detailed, usually occupies about quar-
ter Of an hour, from the planting of
the stone to the production ofthe fruit.
Though he gives away the fruit, the
performer does not part with the tree.
The feat, which is perfectly familiar to
all who have been in India, is certain
ly an extraordinary one, and affords the
most effectusl evidence of the pewers
of deception to which the race of jugs
glers has attained.
The fact of sitting without seeming
support in the air, is one of the few
first rate Indian tricks which have been
exhibited in Europe but even this is
now he'd somewhat cheap, the mode of
performing it being pretty clearly un-
derstood. The feat is performed in
this way: In the center OF ring of
spectators, stands the juggler with an
assistant. When all is ready for the
performance, the assistant hold an am
pie cloak or awning over the juggler,
which coveas him completely for the
time. In few minutes this covering
is removed, and the jugdler is discov-
cred, seated cross-legged in the air, un-
substantial sir, at the height of foot
or so from the ground He is in the
thin dress of his country, and ON one
of his arms, which is extended horizon
tally in bent form, and which as well
as the other, has wide sleeve upon it,
a fold of a cloak is negligently thrown,
the remainder of the cloak hanging
down to, and resting on the grouud.
This slight contact of the elbow with
the cloak is all that connects the man
with terrestrial things. Otherwise, he
is totally left in the air, and how he
maintains himself there. is inexplicable
TO appearance. But the cloak alluded
to seems TO lie in careless contact with
another cloak, or portion of attire, that
rests on the ground farther off. Now,
it is believed that, at the point where
the cloak touches the elbow, spring
of a very powerful kind passes up the
sleeve OF the arm, and bends down un-
der his body, placing him probably up
on hoop The other end OF the spring
passes off, and finds its support under
tthe second or farthest off cloak. This
spring, in all likelihood, can be folded
up into short divisions, so as to be cas-
lily concealed while the awning is
thrown over the jnggler at the close of
his performance, and before he gives
liberty to the spectators to examine the
spot, which he usually does. This is
the received explanation of the feat,
but there is some difficulty in ur;ler-
anding the nature of the weight or
support which is placed beneath the
cloak. This must evidently be of con-
siderable power to sustain his frame
and how he gets it out of the way, is
not easily seen. These teats are the
result of surprising art, address, or con-
trivance; and for such, the natives of
India, certainly far excel the whole
world.

DtsGoRGING A LIZARD Some weeks since,
says the Elmira Gazette, John Mitchell, of
the town of Chemung, was taken with fit
of vomiting, and finally disgorged from his
stomach lizard near nine inches long He
had drank several potations of whisky, to-
gether with three quarts of milk. that day,
and it is supposed that the lizard got drunk
on milk punch, hence his coming up so high
as to come out of his Judgments. The lizard
is supposed to have been swallowed some
four years since, as about that time Mr..
Mitchell took In something while watching a
" deer lick" which has caused q slight de-
bility of the stomach ever since.

the hands of Mr.. Hart, had commenced the
work of grading for the monster fume, which
is to lay bare the bed of Feather River op-
posite 0roville, next summer. This will be
one of the most extensive fuming operations
on Feather River, and will be pushed for
ward 20 completion with the utmost vigor.--
The ground has been thoroughly prospected.

JOHN b. McGEE.-This gentleman, joint
Senator from Butte and Plumas, is set down
with the Democrats along with Ferguson
and Westmoreland. During the canvass,
Gov. Foote reported that MeGee was true
American. The Governors information On
this point, if we recollect Alright, was OBJ
tanned from the Senator himself Has the
success of the Democrats thrown him on the
wining side, or is he most wofully belied;
f.Neuadd Journal.
We have no doubt but that Mr.. McGee
considers himself true American but he
undoubtedlyfound it impossible to be a "true
American and act with the Know Nothing
party, as have thousands of others in this
State. The Democracy of the State will be
pleased to see Mr. McGee in the Democratic
caucus to assist in nominating Senators, and
afterwards in Joint Convention to aid in
their election. That is the position in which
Mr.. McGee will be found in the approaching
session. If we remember Alright, ''during
the canvass Gov. Foote reported that Fill
more would carry Massachusetts,, and va
rious other predictions that were not real
lied.
The leading organ of the remnant of the
Know Nothing order, at Sacramento, has
taken grounds against the election of Sena-
tors at the approaching session, and it is not
probable to suppose that it will carry any
great number of Senators or members off on
that tack. Mr.. McGee voted to elect Sem
ators last year, and will do so now. If po-
liticians s'wofully belize him, it will not be
the first honorable Senator they have sought
to injure. Having cut loose from the dead
carcase of Know Nothingism, he is not affect
ed by the woful fumes it may emit.

SUNDAY LAw-The Empire County Argus
makes the following just remarks ON the
impolicy of Sunday law: Legislative
enactment will not make people moral. Tho
Maine law proved failure, and men should
look to some other power than the law to

The CoLoRED CoNvENTIoN.-The State
Convention of colored men, recently held al
Sacramento, was attended by sixty delegates
who represented sixteen counties, chiefly
northern ones. The Mirror Of the Times,
their organ, says on thes subject:
!" The delegates were chiefly young men,
the majority of whom were miners of stall
wart frames-men of labor and men OF
thought. Many were mechanics possessing
good real estate; at least twenty have been
assessed at from five to thirty thousand dol
lars each. tits safe to say that the dele
gates represented in their own persons,
wealth to the amount of two hundred thou
sand dollars, and of their constituents not
less than four millions of dollars Six were
graduates of colleges, ten were literally ed
ucatsd in the English branches, and all could
read and write and had some idea of parlia-
mentary forms.'

THE SNAKE CHARMEK.-.4nd If then

forts to bite him, then catching his eye, and
finally bringing him so completely under his
cont, OIL that he laid him away in his bosom.
All the stories of snake charmers and the
Egyptian art are realized here. There is no
deception in it. We have been shown the
fangs; and seen the poisonous rattlesnake
and copperhead fondled harmlessly and fear
lessly. Mr.. Wirsen discovered his power
over the snake world, a few months since,
in the Trinity mountains. lie sat down to
rest, and began whistling. Shortly hearing
a rustic, he saw a rattlesnake slowly ap-
preaching, and thinking of stories of per-
sons fascinated by snakes, he sat still, while
the snake drew nearer and catching his eye
and listenening to his whistling, soon began
to tremble, and finally lay at his feet so do
cile that he picked it up and carried it with
him.
