How to Prosper in Business.

In the first place, make up your mind to
accomplish whatever yon undertake; decide
upon some particular employment and per-
sevre in it. All difficulties are overcome by
diligence and assiduty.
Be not afraid to work with your own
hands, and diligently too. "a cat in gloves
catches no mice"
Attend to your business and never trust it
to another. "a pot belonging to many is i'll
stirred and worse boiled"
Be frugal. "Ihat which will not make a
pot will make a pot lId."
Be abstemious "Who dainties love shall
beggars proye."
Rise early. "Vhe sleeping fox catches no
poultry"
Treat every man with respect and civiity
Everything is gained and nothing lost by
courtesy"
Good manners insure success.
Never anticipate wealth from any other
source than labor. He who waits for dead
mems shoes may have to 60 long ii ne bare
footed"
Heaven helps those who help themselves.

An Erie Bow. in the California Senate,


The annexed handsome compliment to
Hon. James Anderson, recently. elected to-
the State Senate, from this county, ia from
the Erie (Pa) Observer, printed in Mr. AS
native county. Friends in old Erie as well
as Placer, rejoice in the success of our Sena-
tor, and predict for him career of useful
ness:
Among the gratifying results Of the late
election in California, is the choice of our
friend James Anderson, ESQ.,, AS Senator from
Placer county. Mr.. A. is native of Fair
view, in this county, where his parents now
resides His boyhood, however, was spent
in this city. He was then Democrat, and
although many changes have occurred in the
political world since, he still adheres to his
early convictions, and hence received the
nomination of his party friends, and an cleo
ton at their hands. In looking over the
returns of the county we notice he has a
higher number of votes than any of his col
leagues on the ticket-thus showing that in
ripper years he retains that popularity among
his acquaintance that marked his career in
''lang syne" We have no doubt he will be
equally popular in the body to which he is
elected, and of which we predict he will
prove one of its ablest members"

A Wrong to be Righted.

The Union Democrat regards the pro-
vision of the revenue Law requiring pop
erty holder to pay taxes on all that he may
have in his possession, regardless of the in
debtedness that may be standing against him
as unj Just and onerous upon tax payers. In
the way Of illustration, it says:
"An energetic, business man will build a
house at cost of eight or ten thousand dol
lars, giving mortgage on it, at or before
completion, for three thousand; at the ap-
pointed time, if an honest man, he will be
assessed for the eight or ten thousand dollars
as the case may be, and the mortgage will,
at the same time, pay his taxes on the three
thousand. Thus the three thousand dollars
pays double tax.
This species of injustice has existed for
years, and it is high time the law were
amended in that particular. Should the
next legislature Judge any modification nee
cessary in the present law, We hope this i'm
portant item may not be overlooked. Tax
payers should be assessed for what they are
worth-neither more or less. After making
a fair return of their property, their Just
indebtedness should be allowed as an offset
The decrease in the revenue under such a
rule, would, we believe, be more imaginary
than real, nssmueh as it is generally cred
tied that scores of our citizens shirk true
assessment as the law stands now. A thor
ough and impartial assessment would, we
are satisfied, more than compensate for any
loss the revenue might sustain by virtue of
such an amendment. Added to which we
should, as community, have the satisfaction
Of knowing that every dollar collected would
not only be Legal, but just"
IT WoN'r bot is proposed in illinois
to amend the law of marriage, so as to require
that the prospective husband and wife, on
any day given day, enter it the Office Of any
officer Legally empowered to do such a duty
a written declaration Of intention to become
man and wife. From that day, for one year.
let them associate as lovers, or break the en-
gagement if they choose; then, at at the end
of the year, if they again express their deter
mnation to become husband and wife, let
the contract be sealed. The plan would
doubtless secure more happiness TO parties
but would never be submitted to by anxious
candidates for matrimony in this fast age.
URINE THE FRUITS OF THE IANIC.-lne
Boston Transcript says, "One of the most la
mentable consequences of the "hard times"
is the great increase Of crimes, both against
property and the person. Highway robber-
les house and shop-breaking, stealthy as
saults, &c, are becoming alarmipgly com
mon so much SO that in the vicinage Of the
cities in staid and sober New England, occur

bold offenders against the peace OF the com

Col. Schlessinger.
This gentlemen whose name figured un-
creditably among Walkers men in Nicar
aqua, after the defeat at Santa Rosa, has
written letter to the New York Times
in which he says:
81 will shortly publish my Memories on
Nicaragua, In them | will submit my acts
to the judgement of the impartial. Mean
time, may be allowed to assert that did
more at Santa Rosa than any other com
mander, under similar circumstances, could
have done, and that was paid for it by the
blackcst ingratitude. 1t is true abandoned
Walker, but never did | part with the elori-
Gus principles of freedom and democracy.
For these | fought and became an exile
from Hungary in lS4S; for the same prit-
cples bled in Cuba, and suffered in the
dungeon Of Ceuta; shall prove that the
standard of Walker in Nicaragua was one
of personal ambition, based upon no prin-
ciples of honor or Justice; that Walker did
not intend to Americanize that country
mol did he ever dream of annexation; that his
whole aim was to become the founder of a
military confederacy, despotic in its origin,
tylanical in progress, and intended to be
united with the Southern States or California
as a separate confederacy. | here speak of
Walkers political faith in April, 1856. Cir
cumstances may have forced him to aban-
don these nightmare visions, but these wee

ants in my present position before the pub

So, the warlike William intended TO erect
a separate contedercy, and take California
into his family of States. lie was certainly
kind; but it would have been no more than
fair that the good people of This State
should have been apprised of the intended
transfer from the rule of Unc.e Sam, to the
care of Walkers greaSer Republic.

1t is printed by Philips, Sampson d. Co. of

obtain an extensive and rapid circulation.

appointed by Mr. Scheil, hurry lag oil post haste

ministration of providing for Tom, Dick or Hsr-

the friends Of Tom, Dick or Harry that the su-
bordnate appointments of the Custom House are
left at the discretion of Mr. Schell and that il is
waste OF time and money to be making "Trip

ftrred back again to the Collector as the MAJ

democrats in their "wild hunt" after those small
Offices, we know, arc not overfuah of funds, ami
il is therefore pity that they should throw t,eir
money away in running with their little personal
squabbles all the way to Washington.
