PIcNIc.-Quite a number of the ladies
and gentlemen of Auburn participated in the
pleasure of a picnic excursion on Thursday,
and Judging from the satisfactory expressions
regarding it we preswps all enjoyed the, oc-
casion highly.

Cool WEATnER.-Thursday and Friday
were cool, cloudy days, rather promising for
rain, which at this time would perhaps work
more injury than benefit to the crops. A
number OF farmers are now cutting grass,
which would bs materially injured by rain.

Cured in the tunnel of Mckinley & Co., at

a side drift. but the other, a young man

STATE PR1soN MANAGEMENr-As one of
the members of the board of control of the
State Prison, 1t. Gov. Wakup is now at
San Quentin attending 10 the duties devolv-
ing upon him. We suppose that he will de
vote much of his time this season to the af-
fairs of that institution, and from his well
known probiy of character, and practical
business habits, the people of California can
rest assured that he will not permit the State
to be swindled to the extent of one dollar.
The future management of this heretofore
public eye sore, we hazard nothing in saying
will be highly crcdtable to the officials con-
trolling it, and acceptable to the people

Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic State Central Committee
met at Sacramento on Monday, and as will
tie seen have called State Convention, on
Wednesday, the 4th day of August. This
action will put to rest any uneasiness created
by the suggestion that the Committee should
nominate candidates. 1t is evident that there
was such uneasiness produced by the discus
sion of the project by the par papers; but
in Justice to the Committee, it is proper to
say that they do not seem to have entertain
ed any idea of the kind themselves, as no
proposition to that effect was made at their
meeting; but on the other hand the proprie-
ty Of calling Convention was acq,iesced in
by the members without dissenting voice.
AS we stated last week. we were willing
the Committee should make the nominations,
if they first asrerianed the party preference
of the men to fill the positions required; but
they having decided that pursuance Of for
mer custom would be most acceptable to all
concerned, we are fully satisfied with their
decision. We were willing, if good nomina
tions were made by the Committee, that dele
gates from counties remote from the capital,
should be saved the time and expense of at
tending a Convention with Placer county
these items would have been Of little moment
as our proximity to Sacramento would cause
no great expenditure of either.
The meeting OF the Committee may have
been looked forward to by our opponents as
an occasion for inharmonious views AVID an
exhibition of dsaffcct;on in cur ranks; but
the unanimlty of feeling that characterized
the proceedings of the meeting has damped
all such expectations.
The recommendation of the Committee,
for the holding Of County Conventions on
the goth of July, will doubtless suit the
general convenience and acceptance of the
different counties of the State. Already
the llacer County Committee is moving. and
we suppose our delegate and nominating
Convention will be held at that date.

tend morally, though there's great difference
in shopkeepers, and the moral tenderness in
some seems n good deal less than in others,
and in others a good deal more. A shop

ex-war minister, resident in Pennsylvania,
tells good story OF Dutch neighbor of his
who had the gout and was greatly puzzled
To know how he came by it, "What is the
matter with you my friend?" inquired the
judge, who had called in to see his sick
neighbor. "Nell, don't know, chudge-
