Mr. EDITOR: l have recently been visit
TO tho Land Of Flowers" and as it is not unu-
s,Ial these times for travellers to jot down their
impressions for the amusement or cdifcation Of
those disposed to read, permit TO give you mine.
Leaving Charleston in tho afternoon, the
steamer Carolina, the busy hum and lofty spires
of the queenly city was soon beyond recognition,
and over tho heaving billows Of the restless
ocean, our noble vessel sped her way like
thing of life.''
Now, the last trace of land has faded away
upon the horizon, and as far as the vision extends
vnst expansc of u ater is spread out around us.
Tho broad disk Of the sun is sinking down to his
burning bed, and night comes on apace; but not
garniShed with her usual starry VEIL for already
clouds nrc gathering in the sky, and the winds
begin to mingl. their voices with the sounding
waves. A storm is at hand and swinging
through the deep we go, midst tempest, rain and
darkness. With me it is n wa,clu hour, and in
the solitude Of my narrow room, visions Of scat
tered wrecks and forlorn hopes arise to my i'm
agination. Hours have passed, and now there is
n lull ; the storm is over, aud through the bro
Ken clouds the moon pours down flood of light
upon the foamy sea- 1t is, indeed, n glorious
sight, and venturing once more on deck, wrapt in
admiration gaze upon the sil' cry tipped clouds
moving like spirits in the midnight sky, and the
sparkling waves. Whilst thus gazing, the genius
of Pocsy comes to me, and under her influence
give ntterance to my feelings:
The sea! love lis rolling billows,
IA free nnd far they spread,
Like das.ing courscrs sped
Ger some prari- wide,
When hunters hotly ride
In eager chase.
The sea! love it's wat crs deep,
Down in whose coral chambers sleep
Many a curious shell;
And where the Peris dwell
In fairy place.
Tho sen! love ts mighty roar,
Inch sounds along the shelly shore
Like some fierce storm nfar,
Or cIang Of arms in war
or hostile band
TIL" sea! All under its treach'rons wav,
Full many son has found a grave,
Who hoped ono day to die
Beneath his natal sky
And fa,hcr-land.
Tho sea! tho fearful tempcsts sweep
Fierce lightnings flash, AMI ,hunuers lea,
Along lis foamy crest
Id dwell upon it, ircast

Another objection is made because of the heavy
expense of collecting the Revenue, building costly
Custom Houses and maintaining an army of Three
Thousand and Eighty-Eight Custom House OH
Gers
The cost Of collecting tho Revenue of 1857,
was S3.552359, ind' pendent Of the cost of Gus
lom Houses Revenue Cutters, &c.
Still another defect Of tho system is the in-
mcnse patronage it gives The Federal Governrnent.
If each State paid by direct tax, its quota, no
officers would be required other than Treasurer
in each State.
| The Report claims that no tariff can be imposed
that would operate equally on all classes. It
must operate bounty TO one portion of the
community, and as Il Goube tax on the great

ExTRAoRDINARY EFFECTS OF CLIMATE.-We c
find the following in an Eastern exchange,
purporting to be an extract from California
letter:
:" A singular metamorphosis, followed by
curious results, showing the effects on some
people, has occurred here. About four years
since man from the + Istern States came to
this country to engage in mining. lie went
up to Tuoumne, and commenced laboring in
a claim on Woods Creek In short time
his hair which was of a light brown or au-
burn color, began to fall off, and soon there
was not solitary hair ON any part OF his
body Singular to relate, the mans general
health was good during the time of his peel
ing. But what is more remarkable, the gen
eral physical appearance of the man began
to change rapidly. He was originally long,
lank, and lean but now he began to assume
Falstaffian proportions Although large
boned person. when he came to this country
he only weighed 100 lbs, but in seven months
after his arrival at the mines his weight was
upwards of 300 lbs. All things must have an
end, and 80 did our hefo's increase in size
come to a stop. Then 1t was that hair began
to grow. But now, strange to say, his hir-
suite appendages, instead of being auburn
color are coal black. Instead Of sandy whis-
kers, he has whiskers as black as jet, One
would naturally think that the individual,
after undergoing all these transformations,
mad grown out of the recollection Of his
friends. Now the hero Of this singulae trans
formation, on leaving his home left behind
him an affectionate wife. After residing
here about three years, hO sent for her. and
she came to meet her long-absGnt lord. When
the steamer arrived very large man with
black hair and wbskers met her and claimed
her as his wife. She repudiated, would not
hear him, for she had heard of the wicked
ness of this country. and she was cautious,
She endeavored two months to hnd the hus-
band who had left her. then gave him up for
dead, and returned to her old home sorrow
full and broken hearted. The metamorphosed
husband is still here and bitterly does he
curse the change iu his fortunes which so al
tered his personal appearance that even his
own wife cannot recognize him. At present
there is not the least prospect of losing his
superabundant flesh or his hair changing
color"

gB~ The New York Tribune makes the
following remarks about the Free Love sys-
TEN, representatives of which were in the
late Utica Philanthropists' Convention:
"Mr. Davs's quasi promise that the Free
Lovers should be kept out of, or kept silent
at, this Convention, was not kept-we fore
saw tAat it could not or would not be- They
may not have been very considerable Dor
ton of the gathering; but they made their
full share of the noise, and gave an odor to
the entire performance Yet after they have
talked aud talked through two or three Con.
ventions who can say what theY really do
mean? That they do not mean universal
concubinage and "free lust" we checreully
testify; but does not their doctrine afford
coTntenlnce and protection to the lecherous?
If Marriage is quite ordinarily state of vir
tual prostitution, who shall confidently say
that the avowed and shameless libertine is
not after all, as bnmeess as the majority Of
continent husbands and wives2 Is it not
| plain that the arguments of Mrs. Branch and
compa ~ are read with satisfaction in every
den of infamy in the land Why should not
Julia Branch be read with delight by Julia
Brown, or whosoever may be the representa-
| tive woman Of the current harlotry of the
day?
If the Free Lovers have any clear percep.
iion of what they would have done or en-
acted with regard to sexual relations, they
seem TO lack ability to state it. Can they
not find decent terms in which to declare
precisely what they would have done with
regard to Marriage and Divorce? DO they
| really mean that the mother of half a dozen
children may desert them to cleave to a
! younger and more attractive man than tn .ir
| father? or that the father may disrank her
who has sacrificed her health and beauty in
bearing and rearing his children, in order to
| give her place at bed and board to some
plump and rosy mnidcn fresh from the board
ing schOolY When Mrs Cove Nichols and
Mr.. ). p. Andrews were the oracles Of Free
Love- we did understand them to advocate
precisely this but what the ii. g. Wriyhts,
Cora Barres and Warren Chases of to da &
are really driving at, We cannot certainly
make ont. We believe they mean Just this,
but lack the courage explicitly to say it. Mrs.
Branch does not lack courage, and, therefore,
seems to say this; yet We hope she does not
mean it. What we hear of her personally
iustties this hope. But if she would say ex
actly what she does mean, we should be
obliged, if not edited"

HONORABLE RIVALRY -" He that diggeth a
pit for his brother shall fall into it himself
Rivalry or competition in every pursuit must
be conducted with open, fearless and gener-
Gus spirit, to insure that pursuit success. The
defamation of rival, either in his business
or name, is sure to recoil against the defa
mer, and eventually aid the injured one and
he who is mean enough to employ others to
defime rival, when he dare not do SO him
self, shows cowardly nature deserving only
of pity and contempt.-Irinity Journal
True; but how few there are in business
who practice the precepts above set forth.
How few tradesmen are to be found who will
not Improve all opportunities that may pre-
sent themselves to in;ure the business of his
neighbor across the way, and especially if
the inference is fair that the injury thus done
may tend to increase the trade of the malign-
er do unto others as you would be done
hv," Is commandment beyond the concep-
lon of the human mind. Selfinterest-the
strong inherent principle of human nature
-predomnates over all feeling, religious,
moral and human, and man will not be good

As IT OuGur TO BE.-A pamphlet contain
ing the blackcst calumnes against the Jews
appeared lately at Bucharest, recommended
10y the Metropolitan and ptssng the clerical
censure. The most vile passages are "a
Christian killing Jew, is safe that all hi.
sins will be pardoned, and that heaven stands
open for him after DEATH"
"rhe Jews (under the abominable name OF
Sidar) have need for their passover of Chris
tian blood, which is confirmed by many dig
ntaries of the Church"
"Christim patients should not call in aid
Jewish physicians"
Now among a super~titious people like the
WallachiOns, who think the Metropolitan
holy, and where a work confirmed by him is
considered irreiutably true. this pamphlet
could rot ut be injurioust to the Jews They
very properly complained against it before
their consuls, who expressed their contempt
against it and advised the Prince of it. The
rescript was: the Metropolitan be called to
account; the clerical censure be abolished;
the book be eonfscated and burned
publicly from the "Fe.tgd Jndhums."--S. f.

Persisted IN 4 Snow SToRN.-WheneYer
the season Of storms comes around We think
with shudler of the sad fate Of young
man of our acquaintance, who came to the
mines late in the fail Of 1913, and who, with
some companions. pitched tent at Angels
Camp, to winter there. This mans name
was rullmad!c. Early in January, 1919, in
the midst of terrible snow storm, which
lasted three or four days, n party started
from Angels in search of new digsings, re
ported as having been discovered in the di
recton of the present town of Murphys.
Tallmadge was one Of the number who went
on this expedition. IL was showing heavily
at the time, and somehow he got separated
from his companions, who never saw him
again! Singular to relate, though search
was made for many days and tho surround
ing country secured in every direction, in
hopes of finding him or his body, no trace of
him was every found, and his fate remains a
mystery to this day, There Is but little doubt
that he persisted in the wildernoss-found a
nameess and unknown grave by the wayslde
while the wide sweeping storms OF the Sler-
ra sang his requiem, and hid his body with
a winding sheet of snow.-Sonora Herald.

ILLUMINATING BooKs.-It wasi the Sth cen
tury, that the art of Illuminating manuscripts
begun to approach perfection. In comment
ing on this bject, in late highly interest
ing article, the Edinburgh Review makes
the following noteworthy observations:
Art had sunk to the lowest depths of de-
gradation; one branch alone. that of minia
ture-painting upon parchment, was cutiva
ted with tolerable success 1t had hourished
among the Greeks and Romans, and from the
comparative ease and facility with which it
was carried on, soon became the peculiar and
constant occupation of monks and anchorites
Manuscripts and religious works were deemed
incomplete unless adorned bv illuminations ::
defective as they were in many of the essen
tials of art, particularly in perspective,
these illuminations, or miniatures, are
still extremely beautiful, from the gem
like brlliancy of the colorng, the ever
changing tints, and the exquisite finish and
in these the delicate touch and graceful taste
of woman particularly fitted her to excel
Eighty years before the appearance of Gina.
bue, or even of Andre del Gambia, we find
Agnes, abbess of Quedlinberg, celebrated as
miniature painter; and more than one spe
cimen yet eXtant attests her patience and her
skill.
The cultivators of this charming art were
divided into two Oclasses-miniatureists pro-
perly SO called; and miniature caligraphists
1t was the province of the first to colour the
histories and arabesques, and to Law on the
gold and silver and silver ornaments The
secord wrote the book, and the initial letters
so frequently traced in red, blue and gold :;
these We're called "Pulchri Scriptores," or
fair writers. Painting of this description
was peculiarly religious occupation. 1t
was well suited for the peaceful and secluded
life of the convent or the monastery 1t re-
quired none of the intimate acquaintance
with the passions of the human heart, with
the busy scenes of life, so essential to other
and higher forms of art Yet it was not
only in this branch that the monastic orders
distinguished themselves. The Frati IIumi.
liati were celebrated for their skill in paint
ing on glass; while the recluses of Mont Ca
sno and their abbot, Berthe, made them.
selves conspicuous for their superiority in
miniature. painting.
