your columns of the following letters, which are but
samples of many that receive from different por-
tons of the country that have been visited by Mr..
Foster. There is but reason for our not filing
these orders at once and that is want OF money. 1t
costs from go to sl2 to send woman away from
want, restitution and more than probable ruin here,

cared for and raised to respecabty and Independence
wish that single and sahers who able to earn
more money than they need now aud who spend many
dollars every day in Injuries, would consider how
great and lasting good might be done by devoting 80
small portion of their money to our use The reco-

want to comfort and decency, would be treasure in

Phases of Bankruptcy.

There are o great many homely but compre-
hensive phrases among the miners the condition
of individual bankruptcy is variously denomin@-
ted according to the peculiar urgency or desper-
alton Of the case If one asks the loan of S5 OF
another who has none to lend, the latter says he
has nary red ) if storekeeper presents his bill
prematurely, the debtor informs him that he is
dead broke : if a boarding house keeper is par
ticuarly inquistive after dinner, the guest quiet
ly informs him that he is fiat broke which sig
nifes utter desperation of circumstances and that
it is quite useless to make fuss about the price
of one dinner. A fellow may be in bad str eak,'
out of luck busted up or dead broke, and
still have little money to buck at faro or pay
for drink, but if he defines his financial crisis by
the term fat broke, the inference is that the
bottom dollar is gone. These phrases are heard
everywhere in the mines they are common with
refined and highly educated men who anywhere
else would be shocked at a vulgarism. The new
conner speedily acquaints himself with the mining
technicalities to keep from being considered
green MINER the professional man and the pol
itician adopt the common terms to get on the
blind side of the 'honest miners who listen to
their oratory, drink at their expense, and then the
more intelligent laugh at their affectation of de
mocracy and vote as they please. But there are
times when the words dead broke have dread
full signifcancy. At the close of mining sea
son, when the clouds begin to gather in cohorts
about the hill tops and then float away, leaving
their frozen Installations on the trees-then 1t is
that the miner feels the full import of these two
little words He knows then that he must labor
another year, and is reminded that all his summer
reared castles have fallen. The trees on the bill
lean their tops together but he is alone, has no
one to lean upon-nobody cares whether he lives
or dies for he is dead broke Then the proud
and independent gold digger must go somewhere
and ask for credit, and confess to the humliating
fact that after all his summers work he Is still
dead broke Perhaps he had written home that
he would be there by Christmas or Thanksgiving
but when the time comes he is yet in his lone
some cabin the clouds are rolling wrathfully with
their burden of seet and snow, and he sits look
ing at imaginary landscapes under the forestick,
and thinking how dismally the wind roars and
how spitcfuly the sleet dashes against the single
pane in his window when poor fellow is dead

PUTTING on A Coon MANY FRnIs.-Mrs. Doctor
Gwin recently appeared at ball given ny the
British Minister in Washington, enveloped in
twenty-five hundred dollars worth of lace. Her
name is registered as Mrs Gwynn? We should
be pleased to know where Mrs. Doctor Gwynn'
got the money. We are not aware that her hus-
land ever had any occupation in California he
never 'practiced,' we believe, even to the extent
of a Louisiana, occasional swamp doctor. We
have heard, however, that Doctor Gwin-tis
spelt Gwin' in California---had something to do
with the Pacific Steamship COmpany's contract
for carrying the mail, for which the Doctor got
divers shekels but we had no idea the job paid
so well. We are forced then to the disagreeable
conclusion that the Doctor has, sometime or 9th
er been to the back door of the Treasury at which
great statesmen, Of a purely imaginative chsFae-
ter, are clandestnely paid off for alegorical SER
vices. Nor have we ever heard of Doctor Gwin g
eminence at home in any particular, except as a
regular standee for office nor do we know that
he occupies any considerable position in the Uni
ted States Senate. Quite on the contrary, he is
reputed to have got there by ignoble prostration
and concession to an enemy, who, even now, dis
pises him as weak old party who is never heard
of except in periodical, asthmatic wheeze for a
Pacific Railroad. In view of the very inconsid-
cradle position which the Senator holds among
statesmen, his alleged transfer of independence,
and the moderate estimate set on his abilities at
home, we marvel that the Senatoress should hang
out so costly sign.
Eastern people, to whom these presents may
come, are implored not to estimate California
women by over-dressed and beglt femeninity
from this State. 1t is fact that when people in
certain circumstances get on California horse
back, they ride to the devil with prodgious ve-
locty, carrying bigger spurs, longer streamers
and greater superfuty of cow-skin than the skel-
eton rider would require to make the Pale Horse
LOPEZ clear across the fiery slough, without
singeing hair.
