TINE SUICIDE MANM.-Somc subscribers
were disappointed at not finding accounts OF
two or three suicides in THE CALIFORNIAN last
week and some probably attributed the fail
ure to lack OF cntcIprlIc ON our part in get
ting the news. These accounts We intention
ally suppressed, because we believe that TO
many minds, in certain state of nervous cX-
citemcnt, the mere mention of suicide is q
suggestion and inducement to the same act.
A great many suicides are oscribcd to re-
verses in business and pecuuary cmbarrass-
ments; but we believe that nineteen tWenti-
cths may be laid directly to the charge of the
intoxicating cup. But why resort to the rope
or the razor to flee from the evils of this life
to those they know not,of2 The liquors of
our day are little slower, but no less sure
in tbeir operations, than the rope or pistol.
A JOKE NOT IL HWPERs.-On the bench

less celebrated for legal lore and uniformly
equitable judgments, than Tor iund oil WI
and good humor which shows itself on every
occasion. In the same circuit is a lawyer,
notorious for his inyeteratc propensity to i'm

lar as to time or place. At late term Of
court, this lawyer made himself particularly
obnoxious while before the grand jury, so
much so that he was complained of and was
summoned before the Judge for reprimand ];
and while the Judge was administering gen

WELLS OF TUE DESERT The French papers
have interesting gaccounts Of newly bored ar.
tesian wells in the Slhara Desert, in Algiers.
They are six in number, and some of them are
275 feet deep. The appearance of the water in
each case produced the greatest excitement
among the desert tribes. Their joy over the
first well was unboundcd, and news of the event
spread toward the South with unexampled ra-
pldity. People came from long distances in
order to see the miracle, The Marabouts,
with great solemnity, consecrated the newly
created well, and gave it the name of g the
well of peace
AT another place, as soon as the rejoicing
outcries Of the soldiers had announced the rush
ing forth of the water, the natives drew near
in crowds, plunged themselves into the blessed
waves, and the mothers bathed their clothes
therein. The names Immediately applied by
the people, such as % the well of Bliss" and
- the we'll of gratitude sufficiently attest
their feelings. 1t is said that these wells will
work an important part in a social revolution
of the tribes in their neighborhood Having
been obliged, like their ancestors, to wander
from place 70 place as the desert springs dried
up, they WILL now remain around the con-
stantly flowing wells cultivate the land, anc
take the first steps towards civilization.

The HAWAIIAN FUNERAL.-The funeral pro-
cession which accompanied the corpse Of the
son of John Pilikoi ia chief on Saturday last
was novel and unusual sight, and illustrates
the fondness of the Hawaiians for display
The escort partook somewhat of ludicrous i'm
itation of royalty, consisting first of the lads
horse with its equipage, saddle, &C., and with
pair of red-topped boots strung across the sad
die. Then followed the hearse, and after it two
hundrAd females, all dressed in deep mourning
and mounted on horseback in Hawaiian strad-
