STEAM REJOICING OVER TIE TRIUMPH OF
ELEcTRIcITY.-The Syracuse journal, in its
account of the Allan ic cable celebration at
that place, mentions an original and singu-
larly striking feature which was introduced
into the ceremonies. The woodworking
steam, whose proves has for years excited
the admiration of the world, lifted its shrll
voice in joy over the triumph of that other
master spirit of the age, Electricity. The
paper says:
"All OF a sudden, and all at once fourteen
Locomotives sent up a shrek from their steam
whistles which shook the frmest buildings
TO the centre, deafened every ear, and pene
traded as we very believe, west to Lake
Erie and east to tide-water There is no de-
scrlption, in poetry Or prose, which can con
'ey any just idea of the noise (that is :he
only word) that was thus created 1t was
positively awful. Such an unearthly sound
-Such strange, mysterious and overwhelm
rug sound-such terrible tremendous and
IlohStrous sound-never was heard before.
=. IT reminds us of the seven thunders of the
revocation; of legion of Niagaras; of the
morn OF Gabriel, 1--WE speak reverentiy,) J and
Ihe Day of Judgment Men grew pale,
women tainted, aud children went into con
Nulslons as they heard it"

WHAT Is IT TO BE A MEMBER OF CoNGREss Z?
An Atlantic cotemporary thus answers the
question:
We will tell the reader what it is 1t is
to live in mean hotels and pay magnificent
bills; it is to be obliged to breathe bad air,
to sit in an uncomfortable seat, to be bored
by long speeches, to be importuned for
pamphlets, to attend to the business of other
people, neglecting ones own; to exist in a
perpetual fuss of franking, to watch your dis
trictmuch more closely than you watch the
kingdom of Heaven to miss your nights
rest, to be bothered, to be importuned, to be
embarrassed, to make speeches listened to
by nobody, to frank until your arm aches,
and to miss the greatest growler in the Dis
trct at last. Others are propitiated, but he
as offended. lie has the soul of forty conven-
tions bubbling, boiling and bursting in his
manly bosom. lie appeals to committees /;
he is the flea of conventions he is the man
who goes out when he is wanted, and who
comes in to speak and to vote when he is
not wanted who growls when he shonld
grin, is cross when he should be amiable, is
always in the way, and always hard to get
out of the way; and who caps the climax Of
his absurdity and botheration by setting up
a small party upon his own hook, or by going
over, bodily and with all his baggage, to the
unfortunate enemy.

A MODEL JUsTIcE.-In Big Bar Township
there was last year elected to the high posi-
ton of Justice of the Peace, as whoe-souled
and fine a man as ever gave dignity to the
judiciary. He had no pride of position about
him, and the honors of his new station sat so
lightly upon his brow, that his executive
character was often forgotten in the feelings
of the man. On one occasion, soon after his
election, dispute arose between two men
which threatened to lead to blows. Our
Esquire, whom we will call Jackson, stepped
up with a view to peace-making, when one
of the parties, taking umbrage at his inter
ference, insultcd him. Now j., in physical
prowess, is a very Vulcan, and in an instant
blow from his brawny arm had capsized the
fellow and placed some fifteen feet of space
between them. Suddenly recollecting him.
self, he walked up to, and standing over the
PROSTATE man, said, Now you white-livered
upstart, but for the position occupy, would
maui blue blazes out of you Get up and
take drink, and if ever hear of your get
ting into another row | will fine you till you
can't rest !" The poor fellow drank with the
Squire, and since then has been a peaeeable
man. Jack. was this year reelected -Pla-

AN Exciting ScENE-We learn, from a
correspondent, that the fashionable notion of
suicide has found its way into the fash.
lonable circles of at least one summer
resort. At one of these, known to the pleas
ure-sceking world as Deal" quite an ex-
citing scene occurred, few days since, ting
ing with something more than the yonted
life those who bask in the happy, genial
pleasures of this famous, bnt quiet retreat
The house at Deal stands some four hundred
and fifty yards from the sea, between which
there is walk some seven feet wide, which
serves as the thoroughfare Near the beach.
to prevent the walk from being filled with
sand by passing wagons, two upright pieces
of timber are erected, about eight feet in
height, with cross piece near the top. An
interesting young Philadelphia lady, being
desperately i'll love with gentleman, whose
attentions were monopolized by couple of
New ork ladies-albeit he was faithful
and devoted attendant until their arrival
resolved to make it the last time that she
should be so gaily deceived. At the hour of
bathing two ladies and gents were on their
way to the beach, when horror-stricken,
they beheld dangling from the cross beam
(which, since the occurrence has been named
Lovers Swing y the form of a lady in her
bathing dress. She was at once recognized
by the party as 'the lady in love" The gem
tlemen quickly lowered the lady by severing
the rope by which she was suspended, and
carried her to the arbor on the beach, when
it was discovered that her pulse was actively
beating. BY the application of some water
to her face, and rubbing her wrists, she
speedily revived; and in less that half an
hour she was seen dashing about in the surf
hone more full of life and spirits than She
Since the above occurrence, which has been
the current topic of conversation among the
guests at Deal, it has been rumored that
gentleman from neighboring city attempted
to "shutf1e off this mortal coil" at the same
place; but the facts being in the possession
of his immediate friends, it has been impossi-

sentinel that the remains of man supposed

entirely rotten, and lothing left but the

How TO WED A WoMAN.-Women have
really more taste in matrimonial affairs than
we are apt to give them credit for Next to
the suitor's money, the lady has undoubtedly
an eye to his person, and admires manly
stature and a handsome limb none the less
because she happened to marry manikin
instead of a man. A story is told OF Ro-
man suitor who obviously understood human
nature-or rather woman nature-far better
than our modern beaux. Going to woe a
fair lady, he took with him bag OF gold and
a bar of iron; the former he threw at her
feet, the latter he bent in her presence

GOLD DUST PURcHAsEs.-The average
amount of gold purchased per week at the
banking house of VIM H. Ladd Co, is
$4,000. This does not include the monthly
Weld of the quartz mills, but 1t Is probably
one half the amount obtained from the placer

EFFECT OF A WILD AND Vicious DIspos1rIoY.
On Thursday morning, wild steer escaped
from drove after crossing Durgan Flat bridge
and ran back toward Forest City, making
several attempts to gore persons near the
bridge. He hurried up Galloway Hill with
a mounted drover close behind which an
noyance caused him to turn and fall several
hundred feet down bank to the South Fork,
breaking many of his bones.
DowNIEvILLE GRApEs.-Severa of the
Downieville gardens are producing grapes,
and we have seen some grown by 5. w.

are of the "Sutter" variety. Dr. Kibbe has
vines that are also bearing fruit Previous

There were between four and five hundred
spectators on the ground. But little enthu-
siasm was displayed, except by the winners
and their friends, nor was there much betting
going on. In the races heretofore it has hap
pened that Camptonville and San Juan stock
has been entered in competition, thus excl

amusing to note. SO far the Camptonville
folks are u little ahead.

office-holders and office seekers and are
generally men of very light calibre. They
are, at present, working with the Republi

parties in the State. Judge Douglas is. at
present, doing valiant service. Crowds docl,

but they are mere attempts. His hearers
soon become satisfied, and by the time he i.
