The Reform WOMEN AT RUTLAND. Some
body describes the noted women ofthe recent
free love affair at Rutland, VT, as follows:
The ablest among the female leaders who
appeared was Eliza w. Farnham, well known
to New ork audiences, as strong advocate
of woman's rights In person, tall, spare,
and angular Her hair and eyes are black.
her nose aquihne, bestridden by pair of
gold speetacles. She is an Eastern woman,
and has been addicted to reforms for many
wears; she was once matron of the State
Prison at Sing Sing Her style of speaking
is dull and monotonous, with scarcely an in
Election of the voice. She is widow. Mrs,
F. d. Gage, from st. Louis, is probably sew
enty large heavy woman, with hair near
lv white, arranged in cork screw curls She
has eight children, some of them grown up
This lady has made some fair poetry in her
earlier years.
Mrs Julia Branch, of New York, is an out
and out practical, avowed, and undaunted
free lover" and rather glories in the title.
Marriage she considers prodigious nuisance,
and husbands an article to be done away
with. Mrs Branch, though not pretty, has
something peculiarly interesting in her ap-
pearance. She is smart and ready writer
but not fluent speaker. She has good teeth
and exhibits them to advantage when she
laughs, which she does frequently. Her age
is possibly twenty nine; her person slight,
and her wardrobe negLige She is widow

WHAT CONSTITUTES DEMocRAT.-At re-
cent Buchanan convention in Illinois, Mr..
Bonney defined true Democrat as follows:
"It is characteristic Of good Democrat that
he is as perfect IN obedience as he is absolute
in command While he is private in the
ranks, he feels it to be his duty to cbey the be-
hests of his party when he is promoted to
leadership he exacts implicit obedience to the
authority which has been vested in him."
Then a good Democrat is an OK, or ass, or
anv other beast of burden. Could servility
30 further? TO be a Democrat, according to
this man Bonney, is to be a slave, to abandon
all right of opinion and speech to truckle to
anv one whom accident may have made a
leader, to go in chains and kiss the links that
bind him.
But hear Mr.. Bonney little further:
"When we elected James Buchanan Presi.
dent of the United States, we also elected
him President of the Democratic party and
he. together with his Cabinet the Democrat
ic Senators and Representatives in Congress

ALL ABOUT SnAsTA.-The word Shasta is
derived from the Russian language. Many
years ago, and among the first travellers who
visited this portion of the Pacific coast, a
party of Russians passed through California,
going from North to South. They gave a
name to many of the more prominent land
marks which they encountered in their jour
ney. To the peak now called Shasta Butte,
a mountain clothed with eternal snow and
the highest in California, they gave the name
of TcheeSte signifying chaste: pure; clear.
Subsequently travellers and geographers
changed the name to Tchasta, which was
again changed after the discovery of gold, to
the present word Shasta, When the coun.
ties of the State were first organized, the
Shasta Butte was in Shasta county After
wards new county was formed, Siskiyou
which embraces this lofty mount, within its
boundaries s-ShaS,a Republican.

SAILORS IN TRoUBLE-A number of sailors
Of the st. Marys got on a regular "bender'
yesterday. About o'clock we saw one of
them staading on the corner of Montgomery
and Pine streets, with his head cut and bleed
ing profusely. 1t seems that some fellow had
hit him with bottle, and the sailor was too
drunk to take revenge on his assailant. The
wounded man and two or three other "salts'
were taken to the station house. About lC
o'clock in the evening, another Sampson of q

Posi- OFFICE RoBBERY.-We Yesterday
chronicled the fact that lock box No. lO44.
belonging to West q Parker, had been OPEN
ed and letters addressed to Mr.. West alb.
stracted. Early yesterday morning lad by
the name of Smith, aged nineteen, called on
Mr. West and restored him several letters
which had been opened, stating that he had
witnessed man, known to him by sight,
open a box, take the letters out, open item
and cast them aside. That he had picked
them up, and learning that his box had been
robbed, came to restore them Mr.. West
took the lad to Postmaster Weller, who sent
for officers Lees and johnson, in whose pres
ence he repeated the same tale A little
cross examination however, soon cornered
him in several fiat contradictions, which led
the Off ers to suspect he was the right cul
prit. They searched him and found two KEYS,
neither of which would fit any of the boxes
but ascertaining that he roorled with man
named Settler, they sent for him and found
that he had small skeleton key which would
fit all the boxes in the Post Office. The lad
however, exculpated Settler, and acknowl-
edged that he had taken Settlers key off his
bunch and opened the boxes himself He
was committed to the care of the u S. Mar
shall. The lad is respectfully connected, and
it is supposed he was instigated to the deed
10y other parties. The punishment provided
by law for this offence is very severe.-S r

OLD BLocK.-The following, concerning
Old Block, will be read with surprise bv
many. 1t appears in an article in Leslies
Illustrated Newspaper, for the month of Au-
gust headed "a tour in the Southern Coun-
ties of California"
In the afternoon ! reached the vicinity of
Monterey, when a violent rain storm over
took me, which, despite my hard riding
drenched me through and through before
had reached that city.
| put up at the Washington Hotel, kept by
a Sandman named Triscony, who had made
a fortune in few years by his industry as
tinker Here met with Mr.. Delan0, better
known as Old Block and famous for ore of
the largest noses in all California. Indeed
he seems rather to belong to the nose than
the nose to him.
He is also the author of sundry humorous
works. called "Chips of the Old Block" :"
which have given him wide reputation in
those parts. There is a spice of romance in
his history, which cannot avoid mentioning
The brilliant but caprcous Lola Montez fell
in love with his nose and married him on the
strength of it. On the nuptial day the gen
erous woman, in torrent of admiration,
made him n present of fourteen thousand
dollars. Never was there happier man
that night than Old Block-the possessor of
fortune, an unrivelled nose and one of the
loveliest of women. But alas the course of
true love never did run soonth, and next
morning she took the money away from him,
and left him to waste his sweetness on the
desert air. His nose she could not take, or
else no doubt she would | will not vouch
for the truth of this story, but | give it as l
heard it from friend of Old Blocks.
That friend of Old Blocks lied, if he told
any such tale on his own authority. 1t is
true that Old Block is very much admired as
a writer, has a passably big nose, and has
had considerable spice of romance in his
history, but it is wholly untrue that he ever
had any such adventure with Lola Montez.
Somebody, not over clear in his conceptions,
has confounded Old Block with Pat Hull.
and effectually confoundcd him at that, if we
may judge from the formers unbottling of
wrath upon he whole scribbling tribe.
"Chips," forsooth Old Block would like to
make "chips" of them. 1t was Pa5 Hull
poor fellow, he is now dead-who married
Lola, and who was abandoned by her in q
day or two afterwards.
