The Shasta Courier thinks Hardenbergh should
have been made Navy Agent at San Francisco, in
stead of Austin E. Smith, who "never made his
influence in behalf of the Democracy felt in very
marked degree, in California" The Courier ar
gues at length and we'll, coming to the conclusion
that hereafter Mr. III. will think it better to be a
"'parlor' than working politician" There is
upon general application of the facts, altogether
too much truth in this. Men who never lift their
hand for the benefit Of the party-who never labor
to advance its principles-are too often rewarded
with fat Offices, to the exclusion Of those who have
worked hard and spent their money freely in pro-
motion Of the good cause. Such policy is not
founded on principles Of justice, and therefore it
is not Democratic. 1t should be corrected.

School Lands,

The following Concurrent Resolution, introduced
In the Senate by Mr. Ketcham, touches upon ques-
tion of much importance to the people Of the
mountains. Under the present General Law of
Congress, the fund arising from the sale of school
lands, 10th and SD sections in the several town
ships0 is applied to the support of schools in the
Townships tchere the lands are located. In the
agricultural districts, where the school lands are
valuable-in some instances worth as high as SIS
or $2oper acre--a magnificent fund will be built
up while In the mining regions, the school sec
tions would be located upon the sides Of barreE
mountains, where they would not yield the cost of
survey and sale. 1t was beyond q doubt the OBJ
ect and design Of Congress to treat all alike which
may be arrived at by placing the proceeds of the
sales Of school lands into general fund, to be "di
vided pro rata and equally among the several
townships in this State" We will have more to
say of this at another time:

Mothers Grave.

How still it is. The wind frills up the long
grass, and rustles through the great swaying
willow under which am sitting, just as softly
years that lie in the shadows of the past, and
stirs my heart with the old memories 1t brings
upon its wings.
Twelve years ago, sat here just as / do
now. ! am greatly changed, but all around
me is the same; the far of hills, with their
blue, misty tops, are swathed in folds of white
clouds; the green meadows, with the country
sunshine flashing like sweet thoughts all about
them; and nearer, the gray stones, and the
cold water splashing down softly on the white
pebbles. / remember it ALL
"Motherl"-I need not whisper the name
so low, for there are none to hear me but the
birds in the tops of the great willow, and it
will not disturb her slumber No, no though
l sit here with one arm wrapped closely
around the grave, where the tears of my
boyhood dropped upon her bosom; l know
she will not awaken.
l remember it as though it had happened
this morning-how her cool, soft fingers used
to drop like snowfakes on my hair, and her
lips murmur sweet blessings over me with
CvChy nSuhohs Vut hm itu iunl uOUi
The dews of night fall on broad acres, and
the spray Of the Pacific washes this moment
the keels of my proud ships; but / would
give many goodly acre, many treasure
that sleeps deep in the holds, to lie down one
night under the old garret rafters, with that
sweet seraph face bending over me, with its
prayerful kiss, just as it used to do.
Motherl mother! the daisies Of score Of
summers have bloomed and fallen above your
grave, but your memory lives deep and sacred
in the heart of your boy still; the memory
of your prayers and counsel have been with
him in the long way his feet have trodden,
and he has cause to thank you for this nowl
Look over the shining bastions, sainted
mother: see me as lie here, with my cheeks
pillowed on the cool. moist grass. Here, only
here, casting off all my manhood, can be
child again; for the world will never know
me, dearest mother.
We shall know each other up there, too
where the snow blossoms never wither on the
everlasting hills, and the autumn never braids
its scarlet fringing through the green eternal
summer Your boy will come to you, and
from that land which is far off, we shall 60
no more out forever, mother.

A Bill in Relation to SUPERVISOR.


The following is copy of the Supervisor Bill
introduced by Senator Ketcham. The object is to
avoid the contingency of having the Board COM
posed entirely, each year, of new members. 1t
requires almost II not quite year for the mem
bers to become thoroughly acquainted with the
county business, and the proprety of changing the
manner or rather the time of electng is therefore
obvious. The .4nador Ledger, many months ago,
and repeatedly urged the propriety of the change,
and we do not deem 1t necessary to repeat the ar
guments. The bill lays over, and number of coun-
ties aside from Amador and Calaveras will be ad
ded. 1t will undoubtedly pass
AN ACT
Concerning the Board Of Supervisors ofthe Coun-
ties Of -dmador and Caiareras.
SEC. 1st. AT the next general election there shall
be elected in each of the Supervisor Districts of the
counties of Amador and Calaveras by the qualified
electors thereof, One Supervisor; the Supervisor in
the first district in each county to 60 out of Office at
the expiration of one year, the Supervisor of the
second district in each county to go out of Office at
the expiration of two years. and the Supervisors of
the third districts to 60 out of office at the expira
ton of three years; that after the next general
election, there shall be annually elected but one
Supervisor In each county.
Sec. I'd. Whenever it becomes necessary to elect
Supervisor to fill any vacancy occasioned by
DEATH resignation, or any other cause, the person
elected shall hold his Office for the unexpired peri
cd for which his predecessor was elected.
SIC. Sd. So much of the act entitled AN Act
to create Board of Supervisors in the Counties of
this State. and to define their duties and powers"
approved March twentieth one thousand eight hun
dred and ity-fve as conflicts with the provisions
Of this act in its application 10 the counties OF Am
ador and Calaveras, is hereby repealed.
SEC. 4th. The Supervisor filling the term near
est expiration, shall be Chairman of the Board; pro-
vided that in no instance shall this apply to
Der Of the Board elected to fill vacancy, unless
each member shall have been elected to serve out
an unexpired term.

The CALxucK TARrARs.- Calmuck women
ride better than the men. A male Calmuck
on horseback looks as il he was intoxicated,
and likely to fall of every moment, though
he never loses his seat; but the women sit
with more ease, and ride with extraordinary
skill. The ceremony Of marriage among the
Calmucks is performed on horseback. A
girl is first mounted, who rides of at full
speed. Her lover pursues; and If he over
takes her. she becomes his wife, returning
with him to the tent. But it sometimes
happens that the woman does not wish to
marry the person by whom she is pursued, in
10 which case she will not suffer him to over
take her; and we are assured that no instance
occurs of a Calmuck girl being thus caught,
unless she has partiality for her pursuer

THE YOUNG WIDOW.
BY ROBERT JossELYY.

BY ROBERT JossELYg.
She Is modest, but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold,
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now shy,
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She Is skilled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
As the mistress Of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
Oh! a maid 10 sometimes charming,
But widow, all the while.
Are you sad how very serious
viii her handsome face become
Are you angry? she is wretched.
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb;
Are you mirthful how her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out;
She can lure, and catch and play you,
As the angler does the trout
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown SO bald and wise;
Young Americans of twenty,
With the love-looks in your eyes;
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But | know little widow
Who would win and fool you all.

True, IN A MEAsuRE.-"I have found, y
says Addison, "that the men who are really
the most fond Of ladies--who cherish for
them the highest respect-are seldom the
most popular with the SEX Men of great
assurance. whose tongues are lightly hung
who make words supply the place Of ideas,
and place compliment in the room Of senti-

The FRENcHMAN's REvENGE-The follow
ing anecdote, which we give from memory,
became current during the suspension Of
specie payments in the financial crisis Of 1881:
A Frenchman rushed into one of the banks
soon after the general suspension, with hun-
dred dollar bill in his hand, and demanded
the specie for it.
Frenehman.--Vill you pay zis bill?--Vill
you give me re monnae2
Teller (blandly).-We cannot redeem it at
present We have suspended
Frenchman Vots zat? Hung

Isily.-We will redeem our notes when
other banks redeem theirs.
Frenehman.-When re oder banks redim
zaresl by gar, re oder banks say 70 same,
sarel will shoot you, sare---viz re peestole,
ze gon, ze cannon, sarel
TAier.-You had better wait, sir-you had
better keep cool.
Frenehman (excitedly).-By gar, l viii not

(Suiting the action to the word). / spit on

tam billet note! There, sare-I am revengei
I am, By gar, r-r-rsrenge! IL
Having destroyed the note, looking full
defiance at the cashier tellers, and all others
present-the little Frenchman stalked out Of
the bank with the air Of Napoleon. N
