Our OF HIS MlND.-It has been repeatedly
asserted, since the advent of modern Spirit -
ualism, that believers in that doctrine are
frequently inclined to become deranged.-
" Mediums" themselves, however, it has been
said, are not apt to be afflicted by the same
calamity. We know not how that may be.
but, at any rate, it has been reported to us
that medium, of some celebrity in these
parts, has lately become as crazy as a March
hare, and has to be taken care of bv his
friends. When left to himself he wanders
into the woods and apostrophizes the winds,
or sits in lonesome gloom and silence as if
he would ferret out some inexplcable secret.
lie is a man of very ordinary education, but
literary matter, of very considerable ele-
gance of style and accuracy of grammatical
construction, has escaped from his pen, when
under "the influence" In fact, if we may
believe the Spiritualists, he has had commu-
nications from the wisest of the great depart
ed, who have left their footprints on the

MINING AMBLING-sNow-M1NIN
NEWS.
L, pnnrr Oct o1 1888.

LA L ORTE, OCl. Il, lo1o'
EprroR DEMocRAr: Just returned from
Nelson Point, one of the most miserable, cut
throat looking places within the range OF the
mining regions-a few houses piled without
shape or form against each other on the side
of one of the abrupt spurs OF three dread
full mountains, that terminate at the contiu-
ence of Nelson Creek with Feather river
The place contains two stores, one tavern, one
house of prostitution, and one gambling
house, in which, on Sunday last, your scribe
saw sight such as could only be compared
with the gambling dens of six and seven
years ago-fve long tables, crowded round
with betters and dealers of the filthy and
detestable cards; women, black and white,
minglng in the crowd and drinking at the
bar with vulgar men in all stages of intoXi-
cation. What revolving picture to look
upon The man of sentiment, and refined
mind and person, can feel but one desire
when cast in the mi lst of such filthy gang
that is, to flee, to flee. The place owes its
present life to the prosperity of large flum-
ing company, who employ some forty to fifty
hands; the yield is from fifteen to fifty oun-
ces per day. There are many good claims on
the creek, and also good bank diggngs, and
apparently plenty of water.
Last night it began to rain and confined
all night to come down in great quantities; !;
this morning it turned to snow, and the cold
white flakes have been hurrying and chasing
each other to the ground all day-snow,
snow, one white mantle covers everything,
far and near. Who would stay in region
so drear and comfortless if he could by any
possibility avoid it? Still, there is content
ment in every place; some are happy, whilst
others fret. Notwithstanding the storm
Madame and Monsieur Peri's dancing school
is going on, and the ladies are coming in from
all parts as if they had not observed the
change from yesterday. 1t would seem that
the destinations of Madame and Monsieur
were more potent than the storm and Pro
fessor Williams, too, that infatuating German
and accomplished master Of the violin, charms
all hearts that linger round, and makes them
wish to linger still
There are few claims doing very we'll at
this time in this neighborhood, but dullness
must be prevalent until the opening ofspring.
The Downieville train, which has inst come
in, reports the snow over one foot deep on
the ridge between this place and St. Louis
and if It continues at tins rate until morning
ii will he three feet.
Speaking of gambling, it is still practised
publicly and privately in all the towns, big
or little, in this county, as your scribe has
been informed. And in this place, La Porte,
it is quite public; faro and monte game is
open every night in the week But in all
countries it is easier to pass laws than to en-
enforce them. But, in California, until men
of better moral character .are elected to of
fee, no better state of morals can be expec-
ted to exist AT least, such is the opinion of
your scribe. HENRY JACOB

OFFICIAL INSPECTION OF STEAMBOAT BOILERS.
u W. Coffee, U. S. Inspector of Steamboat
Boilers came up a day or two since, says
the sacramento Union, to inspect the boilers
OF tnose boats whose certificates had expired
1he boilers OF the following boats were duly
inspected, under pressure Of l2o pounds to
the square inch, and pronounced in seryieea.
BILE condition; Sam SOule, Cleopatra. Gem
and Gov. Dana. There being no others whose
certificates had expired, Coffee returned to
San Francisco: Thursday He informs us
that profting by sad experience, the owr-
ers OF these steamers have recently been pay
ing unusual attention to the construction Of
the boilers, strengthening them particularly
at points whore they were formerly found to
be too weak.

CoNvEYANCER AND NOTARY PuBuC.-Our
highly esteemed friend, Geo. C. Gorham, an
nounces, in another column. that he has
opened an office in Totman's Building, over
Houston, Hastings d Co. 5 store, where he will
do business as a Conveyancer and Notary
Public. He will examine titles to real estate
and furnish abstracts from the original re-
cords, at moderate rates. He will also give
special attention to the taking of depositions,
and will draw up all kinds of legal papers
Mr.. Gorham has done, in former times, a vast
deal of the kind of business above alluded to-
and his numerous friends having matters to
attend to in that line, will doubtless be glad
to learn that he is again accessible. A gen.
tleman more thoroughly posted in titles or
more competent to attend to the business
specified, it would be hard indeed to find.

gY7 Yesterday morning, that quarter of
the town y ing at and around the corner of
First and a streets, was made vocal by a
dozen or so of interesting females of the Ce-
estial order, not to say Odor. Three yener-
able and ancient hags, together with four or
five less withered feminines, were out, in front
of one of the Chinese houses, abusing and
villifying an ugly looking, barefooted, greasy
wench of the same race as themselves,
who answered back, amid the pauses in the
storm of vocferations poured out upon her
devoted head, as well as she was able. She
spoke low, but evidently with effect, for upon
the heels of her answers her villifers would
break forth with renewed and uncomfortable
energy. We could not understand n word
that was said, but we fancied that the wench
was replying to the abuse of the elder femin-
ines with taunting illusions to their age, a
thing that no true feminine, whether white,
black, yellow, or red, ever did or ever will
stand, in any quarter of the world, and to
the younger ones with reflections upon their
personal appearance, which was certainly
anything but prepossessing. When the
greasy wench would stop-and she had a
fluent tongue-aH her prosecutors would let
loose at her at once and of all the monosyl-
Liable, saw-filing, teeth edging, nerve-shatter.
ing discord that was ever heard upon earth,
this was the climax. Quite a crowd was
gathered to see the fun, but, the noise and
clatter at last ceased, from the sheer exhaus.
tion of t c wordy belligerents, and both par
ties retired into their respective dcmicils. The
cause of these obstreperous demonstrations is
wrapt in the profoundest mystery
Daily national Democrat., 1858-10-23

CRAzY.-We noticed, yesterday morning, a
very singular looking individual walking
along G street-more singular, however in
action than in appearance. He passed along
by the Bell Cottages, nodded very solemnly
to some ladies' who were standing near one OF
the gates, proceeded few steps further,
turned suddenly around, stared wildly and
savagely at one Of the ladies, (who imme-
diately fled into the house), and at the same
time tore a handkerchief in his hand into
three pieces; after which he proceeded on his
way. But at every eight or ten steps, he
would turn and look back, as though he was
anxious to see if any one was noticing him.
Finally, he reached Seventh street. planted
himself in the very middle of it, and took a
general survey of things around-shook his
head with profound gravity, and at last turn
ed back to G street again and went on TO-
wards the Catholic Church. We had a fair
sight at him and he was evidently as crazy as
a loon. The police will probably have hold
of him before long If they do not, he will
perpetrate some mischief.
p. S.-Since the above was written. we
learn that he met two little girls on E street
and chased them until they sought refuge in
house near by.

HAUN House REsTAURANT.-This comfort

which is extraordinarily cheap, considering
the very substantial and dainty entertain

as he could judge from certain expletives
which passed his lips. Thanking the Lord
that he was not in the stage, the "lone horse

Us The Administration organs, (at least
some of them, but they will probably be
whipped back into their old traces are sadly
'ceakening on the English Bill After having
stoutly contended that Kansas should never
come into the Union, as long as grass grew
and water ran, unless she had three or four
times her present population, they now say
that she can come in whenever she presents
a constitution, republican in form, and prop
erly authenticated. At first, they were firm
ly of the opinion that the English Bill must
be carried out, notwithstanding all the odium
of its main feature, which was that as a
slave State she might come in with her pres
ent population, but as a free State she should
wait an indefinite length of time until her
population should reach the Federal ratio for
a Representative. The manifest injustice OF
this to the North, and the low but deep nut
terings of discomfort which came from every
Free State in the Union, and threatened al
each moment to burst forth into storm oI
uncomfortable wrath, have caused them tc
back ground on the position ard now they
pretend that they will not insist upon strict
execution of the English Bill This is all
very good policy before the elections, but
will not these organs blow different blast
hereafter, when the question comes up il
Congress? Most assuredly they will toot
their horns, according to the Federal pro
gramme.

The Exemplary Wife.

o, best is he whose arms enfo.d,
4 consort virtuous as fair;
Her price is far above the gold
That worldly spirits love to share.
On her, as on q beautcous isle
Amid life's dark and stormy SCI,
In all his troubles, ali his tolls,
He rests with deep security.
Even in the night-watch, dark AMI lone,
The distaif fills her busy hand;
Her husband in the gates Is known
Among the elders of the land;
Her household all delight to share
The food and raiment she bestows;
Even she, witha parents care,
Regards their weakness and their woes
Herpityins hand supplies the poor
The widowed one, the orphan child
Like birds assembled round her door,
When sweeps the winter tempest wild
Her lips, with love and wisdom iraught,
Drop, like the honey comb, their sweets;
The young are by her dictates taught,
The mOurner her coincidence meets.
Her lovely babes around her rise
Fair cions of a haly stem!
And deeply shall her bosom prize
The blessings she receives from them.
Beauty is VAIN as summer bloom
To which transient fate is given;
But hers awaitsa lasting doom
In the eternal bowers of heaven
