ATTEMPT At RoBBERY-PERHAPs-
A Portuguese relates that on attempting 6
to cross the Pine street bridge few
nights since, at a late hour, he was stop
ped by man and demanded the time
of the night. Not showing any DISPOSE
tion to draw his watch, the supposed
robber took him by the collar and order
ed surrender of the article. The Por-
tuguese said he would give the robber
the watch, and feeling in his clothes
drew out pistol instead and fred one
shot. The unknown maE took to his
heels. The Portuguese appears like a
ruth-telling man.

SLAVE TRADE OPENED.-The New
Orleans True Delta, of the 2Sth of Feb.
ruary, says that regular depot for
slaves has been esta blished on Pearl
river in Mississippi, where negroes are
received from the African coast, sold and
put to work The slavers sail under the
French flag. thereby avoiding an over
hau. by British cruisers.
A bill, we learn from the same paper,
had passed the Louisiana Legislature
providing for the importation of $500
free blacks to be apprenticed for the pc
riod of fifteen years. The True Delta
also contains copy of a bill pending in
the Legislature of Louisiana, providing
for reducing to slavery all free negroes
not born in the State on the first day of
June next. Wonder if the $500 free
blacks will have much of show if that
bill passes!

~ The S, T. Call informs us that a
man named James Kelly, residing at
Crystal Springs, near l1arasthy's Ranch,
San Mateo county, caught his partner, a
few days ago, an Italian called Martini,
in bed with his wife, and shot him.
Kelly had suspieioned his spouse of inf
deity with Martini, and carefully watch
ed the movements of both parties until
Friday night, when he procured gun
loaded with buck-shot, went to the win
dow of his wife's bedroom, and, as is
alleged, finding his unfaithful partner in
illicit intercourse with his faithless wife,
fired, wounding Martini in the breast,
eyes and lips. Some of the shot pene-
trated the brain, so that there exists lit
tie chance for his recovery. Kelly was
arrested and conveyed to Redwood City,
where the merits of the case will be
passed upon.

Law AND ORDER CoNsIsrENcy.-]

ought to strike the public mind, and in
this part of the State we think it does,
that the law and order men and their
organs are decidedly consistent When
whole people, outraged in their rights
by horde of rascals and leeches, rise
in the majesty of moral power and purge
themselves of the vicious, these law and
order men talk of constitutions and laws
and prate of their devotion to them and
to principle. When an estimable citi-
zen of San Francisco is struck down in
public place of a neighboring city, and
brutally beaten by gang of miscreants
not one of these devoted champions of
the law can find word to denounce the
wrong. When a reporter in the dis
charge of his duty is beaten by hypo-
critical apostle of law and order, a shame
less sheet and its disgusting supporters
sustain the act! Revenge in the hands
OF one cut-throat or gang is right and
commendable, and worthy of imitation
and honorable mention. Self-protection,
when assumed by a whole people, can
never be too bitterly denounced, while
rag of constitution or a shred of the
law remains, and fortunate scoundrel
lives to set them at defancei

CORRECT SPEAKING.

We advise all young people to &C.
quire in early life the habit Of using good
language; both in speaking and writing,
and to abandon as early as possible any
use Of slang words and phrases.
The longer they live the more difficult
the acquisition of such language will be;
and if the golden age Of youth, the pro.
per season for the acquisition Of language
be past in its abuse, the unfortunate vic.
tim Of nesl ectcd education is very prob.
ably doomed TO tall slang for life. Mon.
ley is not necessary to procure this educa.
tion. Every man has it in his power
He has merely to use the language which
heseads instead Of the slang he hears;
10 iorm his taste from the best speakers
and poets Of the country; to treasure up
choice phrases in bis memory, and habit.
uatc himself to their use--avoding at the
same time that predantic precision and
bombast, which show rather the weak.
ness Of vain ambition that the polish
OF an educated mind.

Physical Exercise.

The ournals Of health in various parts
Of the country give picture, by no
means latterlns, Of the physical degen'
eracy of countrymen. The evil com,
planned Of prevails principally in the ci.
ties which are always and everywhere
nurseries Of i'll health, in which the men
pass their time in dingy work shops and
close counting rooms, and the women
scarce ever place their feet on the pave
menl, and when they do, wear such thin
shoes that colds and consumption are the
general result. The consequence is
puny, palelaced, dyspeptic race, as un.
like as possible to the hale and vigorous
men Of the colonial era, and Of the ru-
raj districts in our own time. We see
but feeble and infrequent indications in
any Of our great cities of people hav.
ing the most remote connections with
those magnificent races described by
Tacitus and others, as universally large
Of statue, perfectly formed, and exceling
even the Romans in dignity and beauty.
Think OF the ancient Germans, the an.
clients tsBrtons, {and many Of the present
ones, the Romans and the Greeks, under
the simple influences of exercise and
plenty Of open air. "We will defy any
one" says a cotemporary, $50 study this
subject without becoming lost in wonder
at the perfect science of life and its ra-
tionaI enjoyment which then prevailed,
and without experiencing the deepest re.
gre. that We Of the present day should so
wnstelully sacrifice snch means of happi,
ness. The lofty ideal of Greek art, which
was the same thing as Greek life and
Greek intellect, an ideal which hur1ani.
ty has never since attained. is all rejuci.
BILE 10 the simple problem Of an intelIi.
gent race, developed by air, bathing and
exercise. The Apollo, the Venus, the
Jove--in short, the whole mythology of
infinite beauty, and Of ideas which be.
wilder the soul with admration-are all
but the result OF constant familiarity with
the human form perfected in its every
phase, Tie thirty thousand gods and
goddeSses Of classic mythology were ev.
cry one reflected ideals of humanity, and
this would never have been the case had
not humanity first attained what may be
called an absolute Of positive condition.
We are, therefore, pleased to see med.
ical and other journals urging, with great
eamestness, the important subject Of
physical exercise. If they can prevail
upon our countrymen to take their cd.
vice on this point, to eat plain food, and
give themselves time enough to eat; if
they can induce American ladies 10 take
out door exercise. and initiate the Eng.
lish women in wearing thick shoes in
bad weather, and becoming great pre-.
destrians in fine weather, they may pos.
sibly save the American people from be.
coming nation Of dwarfs or from en-.

DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.

The sad moon rolls on IN her ceaseless tread,
The wild winds mourn rcquiems DER the dead,
The stars look down with tear sotcncd eye
When the beautiful flowers fade, droop, and die.
The bright songsters too have ceased to be gay,
Since the flowers SO sweet have withered away,
Some for the "Sunny South" have plumed their wing
Hoping there to see the bright flowers Of spring
Bitter tears welup In the eyes of all Is
When the flowers are killed BY the blasts OF fallj
The mothers are sad. the girls are not gay,
Since the flowers have drooped and faded away.
Flowers, sweet lowcrs, so fair and so pure,
VIII you come soon o@in the bee to allure, .
And mingle your own hues lovely and bright
With the deep golden tnts at coming of Light
Fonl maidens with cheeks as lovely and fair,
Await to bedcck their jet ringlets OF hair
With the brightest gems that spring from the ground,
But which in cold death now1ic scattered around.
