RoNDo.-Rondo is becoming quite q
fashionable game throughout the State,
Judging from what our exchanges say
The Yreka Union says tho game of bill
iards seems to be wholly out of use in that
town, for all the billiard tables are devoted
to Rondo. The same may be said of Pla-
cerville. Nightly crowd of eager and
excited bettcrS and idlers throng tho diff.
ferent billiard saloons in our town, and
the tables are nearly all occupied by the
votaries of Rondo. "Thc games made
-roll,' sings out the table-kecper, and all
eyes wistfully watch tho little balls on
their way to the pocket. "ROndO," yclls
a disappointed dupe, who risked his last
bit on the treacherous balls. "ThC
games made-roll," again cries the keep
er, and again the curses Of the losers and
the cheers of the winners greet tho ear
Frequently the game is kept going all
night-the betters manifcsting as much
interest At ita close rs st it's commence.

Correspondence Of the Democrat,
Observance Of the Sabbath.

EDlToRs DEMOCRAT: 1t is with pleasure
that observe in the last issue Of your
paper notice Of the preliminary steps
Of some of your citizens towards securing
law for the proper observance Of the
Sabbath, throughout or State. That the
end sought is calculated TO improNaour
moral, mental and physical health, few, |
trust, Will oppose doubt; and that the
means proposed are CNpcdicnt and ncccS.
Sary TO accomplish this end, will he read
lily seen and acquicsced in. assume not
h,rr to repeat or cXpound the commands
Of that Book, the teachings of which are
eternal truth,-thcSc are between the
Great Author and his creatures: but we
owe to ourselves as individuals, and 10
our reputation as a State, n more strict
observance Of the Sabbath. In the carli-
er history Of our State, there may have
been reasons, supposed or real, for men
TO continue their usual avocatiOnS OH Sum
days, the same as on other days Of the
week. The badness of the roads, the
Sparscncss of trading posts and 81 this
shops, made it, perhaps, necessary that
business should have been continued on
that day. But these reasons no longer
exist. No class of persons or kind of bu-
sincss will be injured by dcvoting one
day in seven 10 other purposes than Stli.
wing for dollars and cents. There arc
other things in life that require our time
and attention besides the food we cat, the
raiment we wear, and the habitations in
which we dwell. Mans physical system
requires relaxation from excessive fatigue
to regain its wontcd vigor and strength I;
his brain requires other exercise and nour-
iShmcnt than the monotony Of the one
idca-"busincsS;" and the heart and the
affections should not be left to harden and
smother under the weight OF that grasp
ing, selfish fccling-"gHin." There may
be few who will say something about
"worShipping God according to the die
tStcs Of their own conScicnceS": to these
We say, amen! There may be others
who will speak of the irksomcncSs of the
restraint and hint Slyly Of thc"'union of
Church and State" aud Of the SUNDAY
Laws" Of some Of the colonies: A fig for
the restraint and the hints. 1t would be
exceedingly agreeable, have not the
least doubt, to dwell in community that
needed no restraint; but it is my i'm
preston that the millcnial day which will
present such spectacle is far distant
from our day and generation. Let us,
then, all heartily join in this movement,
and respectfully ask our next Legislature
TO honor our statute book with a rational
aud wholesome SUNDAY LAW.
Yours, NJ.

irto the right side Of one and into the left
side of the other, where he left it and fed,
and has not yet been caught. One of the

Sonora AND LOWER CALIFoRNIA.-Thc
San Francisco Herald says: 1.-THE opin-
ion is entertained, in well informed quar-
ters, that Sonora. and probably Lower
California, will be purchased from Mexico
during the ensuing session of Congress-. -"
Each is said to be as rich in mineral wealth
as California. That at no distant day they
will both belong to Uncle Sam, no one
entertains doubt. Mexico is just I" tot
tering to her fall" and will soon be blot
ted from the page Of nations. The anbi-
tiOn, treachcry and imbicilty ofhcrrulers
have been her curse, and she has no
statesmen Of sufficient scope Of mind to
retard her fall.
