compliment to the '' Butte boys, and says:

made his reputation, bad as it is, out

Chemists tell us that the essence of
everything is carbon, That carbon is
mutton, and that mutton is carbon.
That carbon in its intensest form is a
diamond. We thus see that leg of
mutton and diamond ring are very
distant relations Indeed, we have no
doubt but a tiara of diamonds lonk

A Parsons Opinion.

Parson Brownlow, of the Knoxs-
vile whtg, mas been scrutinizlng tn =
moral condition Of IN nkind in this
generation, and gives the result Of nj
obs rvations in the following plain,
blunt LANGUAGE:
sThc Gospel is preached to the peo
pie regularly, all over the country, re-
ligioas papers and magazines are cir
culated in families, and IN my valuabl.
persons set good examples before the
world, bat notwithst .nd.ng all this,
and more, observation teaches that
rascallity abounds in all classes of So
cieiy. Petty ,hefls are daily commit
ted. such as robbing money drawers,
stealing clothes and dry goods, chick
ems, ducks, corn and other vegetables
Strolling vagabonds, dealing in coun-
terfeit money and disc sed horses, are
all over the country Gamblers, trav
cling and local, and resident rogues,
are all on the alert. Pious villains,
with faces as sanctifed as the moral
law, are keeping false accounts and
swearing to them, for the sake of gain.
Whlskey shops are selling by the small
in violation of the liquor law, drug
stores are training up drunkards in
high life, and affording facilities for
Sabbath drinking, which can be had
nowhere else. The rich arc depressing
the poor, and the poor are content to
live N rags and idIeness.
Dealers in produce come to town and
exact two prices for all they have to
sell, and the owners of real estate in
towns are asking double rents, to the
injury of business and the growth oil
owns. Banks and corporations, in
tended for the pubic goot, have their
favorites, and are partial in the distrl-
button of favors Families parsecute
and envy each other individuals Sian
der their betters. Persons OF low orr
gin put on airs, and falsely pretend te
be more than they are.
Cheaiings and misrepresentation art
the order of the day generally. Il
poiilcs there is very little patriotism
or love of country, while demagogue'
seek to mislead and build up their for
tunes at the hazard of running th
country. In religion there Is NOR
hypocricy than grace, and the bigge-
>coundreIs living crowd into tue enufcl

signs. and more efsctually serve tn

Webster on the Death of his

Flesh and blood, indeed, cannot inher

l-why that which constitutes a pure
source of happiness on earth, lndividu-
al affection and love, may not survive
the tomb. Indeed, is not the princi-
pie of happines to the sentient being
essenstally the same in heaven and on
earth The love of God and of the
good beings whom he has created. and
the admiration Of the material universe
which he has formed, can there be otl
er 'urces of happiness than those'

INDIAN DDPREDATIoNs IN TEHAMA
CoUNrY.--The Red Bluff Beacon publishes
the following letter from Antelope Mills,
under date of June 18th:
The party left here yesterday morning to
go on the Indian hunt, but left party of
sixteen here, there was an alarm last night
at the Mill. A party of Indians entered
the Mill and struck light; there were two
men in the Mill, Hopper and another man,
Hopper got up aud the Indians shot at him.
The ball went through the partition, and
lodged in the floor at the side of his bed, he
shot ard wounded two of them, as we could
see from the blood on this morning, the whole
room was covered with it. The boys are
out now on their trail. 1t is the opinion
that they wanted to set fire to the MILL.
Three OF them had guns

THE EARTH.-For every mile that
we leave the suface of our earth, the
temperature falls five degrees. At for
ty-fve miles distance from the globe
we get beyond the atmosphere, and en-.
ter strictly speaking, into the regions
of space, whose temperature is two
hundred and twenty-five degrees belaw
zero; and here cold reigns with all It's
power. Some idea of this intense cold
may be formed by stating that the
greatest cold observed from the Arc
tic Circle is from forty to fifty degrees
below zero.

gS- The Superior Court of New York
has decided, in full bench, that the note of
q married woman, however wealthy she
may be, is utterly valueless, unless her hue
hand is able aud willing to pay it. In the
case before the court, the woman was sued
for the value of a note $500, given for board
and lent money. A decision Of the court
below was reversed, and it was ruled that
the wife could not be witness against the
husband So that all notes of married wo-
men are worthless, except notes of invita-
ton.
