The Constitution of California provides that
neither Slavery nor involuntary seryitude, unless
Tor the punishment of crime, shall ever be toler-

provision two Judges of the Supreme Court of
California have lately reduced to Slavery man as

even suggesting plausible excuse for SO doing

plantation. Gentlemen who rule their dependents
and slaves at home by force know no other method Of
dealing with opponents elsewhere than to trample
upon them. Such is the natural effect of Slavery
upon character and manners. 1t makes ruffans of
men who would otherwise be gentlemen. Here is
Mr.. TOombs for example, man of brains, beyond
all doubt If be had been educated in civilized
life and had enjoyed the advantages, he might have

A storm in the Telegraph Omces.

A violent rain storm, accompanied with heavy
thunder, vivid lightning, and ablustering wind,
commenced at Buffalo at about o'clock Thurs
day afternoon, and suspended all cOmmunica-
ton between the Telegraph offices. The Buffalo
Advertiser says:
This storm has been watched with consider
able interest by the telegraphers both on account
of its great extent and its severity 1t first struck
the Western Union Line at Chicago, forcing the
operators to disconneet their instruments from
the wires, to save them from being melted. 1t
passed east over the entire line, compelling each
Office as it passed to follow the example Of the
CHICAGO office 1t reached Cleveland about noon,
and IN a few hours made its appearance here -
The immense amount of electricity thrown up
on the wires from the clouds 10 storm must
and will find its way to the ground, making sad
havoc with whatever may interpose- When
the charge is too heayy for the wire to carry, the
greater portion Of it takes a short cut by jump
ing from the wire over the glass insulatOr on to
the pole, and BY that way into the ground. The
balance of the charge-ordinarily enough to kill
dozen meD-is conducted on the wire as far az
its strength will carry it, or till by some means
it is turned into the ground. Every Office is pro
vided with apparatus for this purpose. The
CHARGE is sometimes too heavy to be thus turned
off by the means provided. The result is, the
copper, brass, and iron Of the instruments II
melted into lump, and often the furniture OF
Office is fred.
The electrical manifestations in the office a

very brilliant character. Sparks OF electncal trt

ELEGANT GIFT BooEs.-Messrs. Cobb & Co.
have just received some most elegant Gift
Books from New York which will be the de-
light ofsOme happy hearts before long. Among
them is one entitled "Gallery of Famous Eng
lish and American Poets, giving choice selec-
tions from all the prominent writers of both
countries, and illustrated and bound in a splen-
did manner. It is printed on thick satin paper,
delcately tinted, and is illustrated with beauti-
ful engravings. The book will be great at
traction to the lovers of beauty and poetry
Many other gift books, with elegant bindings
are upon their tables.
They have also Just received very large in
voice of Gold Pens, surprising in extent any
other stock in the city. Two large show cases
are entirely filed with these potent engines" I"
ranging from the Mammoth Elephant to the
tiny lady's pen. What wonderful revolution
may be wrought in the world by means of the
pens now in those show cases. Who knows
what pleas, speeches and sermons may yet go
forth from their tips that shall electrify the
world and make thrones tOiter and kingdoms
fall. Forty years hence, these pens will be
gone from these cases, but the effusions from
them may be scattered from China on the East
to the Rocky Mountains on the West, and not
only in ladies' writing desks will these be cher
ished with care, but they will be preserved in
gOvemmentaIarchivesa as important state papers.
There is matter for dozen sermons in the pens
themselves, as they lie ranged in rank and file,
but these we leave for other pens to write.

gentlemanly clerks can always be found at

The New York Tribune of the 7th has the
following
But the most interesting problem is this /:
For some months past, notwithstanding that
business and travel have been sadly depressed,
the traffic Of the Pennsylvania Railroad has
been steadily increasing over all others. Its
stock and bonds have sympathized in this pros
perity-gradually rising in price, until the form
er sells at A, while the first bonds are at par
and the second at 49, Now, much of this great
prosperity is due to very simple expedient-
adreTtisiHg. The Company have been advertis-
ing largely in New England, and per conse-
quence, the cash receipts at the New York
office have increased Sc per cent. since the ad-
vertising system was begun! The solid results
of this expenditure are now realized at a time
when they are most needed thus proving con-
clusively that when business is dull is the best
time to advertise largely. What lesson these
facts ought TO teach every man who is getting
a living by dealing in any way with the general
