reward manifold. They who fail in other States
in intellectual work. feel their courage and hope
revive; their wasted limbs grow muscular, and
plying vigorous strokes at the foot of tree or

niquets and briefs and compel the physical world
to yield them the diploma of labor, and catch
their professional Inspirations from the sparks

ID YE HEAR THAT, JEEMs.-De Long the " lit
tie turkle," from Yuba, lately made a speech in
Sacramento, in which he addressed himself to the
President in Washington, thus
" How has the mighty Caesar fallen ! BY what
right do you, James Buchanan, or any Of your

the little turklr" coming tearing through the
Rocky mountains, like the breaking of much

SINGULAr, AND PLuRA1.-Thc Mountain Mes
Senger informs its readers that " it is common
mistake to speak of a disagreeahie eBuvia The
word is ef7uvium in the singular, and e6luvia in
the plural"
If the " "efiluvium' rose from n multiplicity OF
unsegrcgatcd heterogeneous particles, Of an un-
savory character such as antrdeluvian (Lim-
burgher) Dutch cheese, in transition state,
wouldnt it be proper to say " cf1uvi.a"
HAPPILY AnAPTED.-A correspondent Of the
Sacramento Union thinks that "nature has done
as much, if not more" towards fitting Folsom for
State Prison location, than she has FOR any 9th
er place. We are Of the same opinion, if the ex-
pense of taking prisoners to confinement be con
sdercd Hardly any other place has fewer visi-
BILE means Of support, or more v&gabonds who

DGvsGoN.-The San Francisco Iyyad and G2obe
and Sacramento State Journal, are the only Dem
ocratic papers in the State that advocate the adj
mission of Kansas under the Eecompton Consti-
tuition. The two last mentioned are entitled to
no consde ration ; the one depends on Custom
House support, and the other is an aguish thing,

NORTHERN MAN. RouTGs-The Sisliyou Chron-
icle complains that Yrcka is provided with only
a weekly m, il. At CaIlahan's Ranch, with com
munity of 600 persons, they have no post office
nearer than twenty milee. We are no better pro
vided for here, and if it were not for he obiiging
disposition of our Exprcssmen, who carry the
mail for nothing, we should at no time OF the
year have more than a weekly mail.
THAT IMMoBnE WAGoN-Whcn will the Sac
ramento papers get that steam wagon agoing =?
Its locomoion is becoming matter Of painful
and /" intense' uncertainty. If attached to the
Sacramento Valley railroad cars, it would do
ten miles an hour, perhaps, with great deal
more certainty than that with which it is likely
to navigate street.
THE OTHER EVENING we saw black, porten-
tious looking cloud try to run over Bald
mountain, but it ran against several snags "Old
Baly" raised his horns and ripped ont its bowels,
and left the ambitious thing hanging in tatters.
THE Mountain Messenger is informed that the
JOURNAL has always been sent to it by mail. We
guess the missing numbers have got "jamme6'
between Shasta and La Porte.
He STILL LIVES-Onc of the Sierra papers

ments. This is the first we have heard of the
Sierra Senator for nearly two years.
DEATH OF THE LION KrLLER.-It is reported

kings
HENRY WARD BEEcHER's S salary is about to be
raised to $1,000 a year. That will enable him to
go unto all the world and shoot the gospel at ev-

AN ACT has been passed authorizing the reno

This may be considered running" special leg
