Gov. Douglas, of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany, has issued proclamation, warning all
persons that the exclusive right of trading in
and about Frazer's River and in the British
possessions, on the northwest coast of America,
belongs to the Hudson's Bay Company, and
that any vessels found in Frazer's River or
any other river, bay or creek, of the British
possessions win be forfeited, if they have not
a license from the Company and clearance
from the Collector at Victoria. The object of
this proclamation is to give, SO far as possible,
the Hudson's Bay Company the monopoly of
the newly discovered gold diggings on Frazer's
River. The three thousand CaIifornans who
have set out for the new Eldorado will make
short work with Governor Douglas and his au-
thoriIy.-Cin. Com.

A GOOD yarn is told of DIR. Thompson, of At
lanta, generous, good man, tip-top land
lord and wit; but he certainly caught it once
A traveller called very late for breakfast; the
meal was hurIiedly prepared. Thompson,
feeling that the .sfeed'' was not quite up to the
mark, made all sorts of apologies all around
ing his head beyond the affirmative influence
the presence of mine host. This sulky de-
meanor rather ss1ea I'd" the Doctor, who, chang
ing the range of his battery, stuck his thumb
iDhls vest arm-holes, expanded his chest by
robbing the room Of half its air, and said -
ssNow, Mister, dod durn me if hain't made
all the apology necessary, and more too, con-
sdering the breakfast and who gets it, and
now 1 tell you, 1 have seen dirtier, worse
Ter breakfasts than this is several times" The
weary, hungry one meekly laid down his tools,
swallowed the bite in transitu, placed the palms
of his hands together, and, modestly looking
up at the vexed and funny landlord, shot him
dead with the words following, viz: ssIs-what
-you-say-true? ?'' eyes, SIR, came with
a vindictive promptness. ssWell, then, I'm
blest, hoss, if you hain't OUT TRAVELLED ME-"
There was posted in the front door q small
nigger, especially to tell the wayfaring man
'sdat he didn't owe muffin dar sartin sure"
After he was fairly under way, Thompson was
observed creening from an attic window, tax
ing prolonged rear view of the steed and his
rider with four foot telescope. 1t has been
Satmated that the Doctor hesitated many Sec
onds between the choice of the glass and
double -barreled shot gun.

A WINDY WELL.-The Brandon, Mississip-
pi, Republican mentions a curious well discov-
cred in Smith county about a month ago. A
Mr.. Baugh was boring for water in the piney
woods, and when he had bored about forty
feet ssa mighty rushing wind'' came out of the
hole, which continued for several days. He
quit boring and waited to see what would
come of it. He placed bottle over the hole,
and the wind makes noise in it which can be
heard mile. 1t ssblows" about a week at a
time, and then it begins to s'suck in,' which
continues for about the same time, and then
it blows again. So far no diminution of its
force has been discovered. 1t has attracted
many persons to see it, and as yet rome can
tell sswhence the wind cometh or whittier il
goeth."

THERE curious scene at a strawberry
festival in New York the other day. The peo-

party. Among the visitors was Mr.. Pearson,
of South Carolina, who made a speech and
told the congregation that he owned more
colored persons than there were in the house.
He made grand professions of charity. He
was responded to in style that he did not
like, and offered satisfaction" to anybody
who would call upon him at the Metropolitan
Hotel. The idea of specimen of South Car

. Doy'r BE BAcHELoR.-Youngm man, don't
live crusfy bachelor, it is not good for you.
1t will neither improve your morals, yonr
health, nor your beauty. Marry as you can
make it convenient, and as you can shape
your affairs to support wife. But when you
marry, don't fall in love with a face instead of
a woman. Remember that common sense is
a rare virtue, much better than oliver and gold
and fashion. Don't court and marry crinoline
and money bags, simply because it is crinolne
or gold in plenty; but look for sound, practical
sense in woman first that is the touchstOne
to try her other quantities by.
When you have that, all else comes. Your
wife, that is to be, if she is full of common
sense, will grow to your way OF thinking and
make you grow to hers. woman who has
womanly love in her heart will find ways to
make your love towards her grow as the years
go over you both. And another thing needs
to be needed, and that is-a common sense
woman is not to be found where fashion insists
upon dragging young females into whirl,
where there is simply idle gossip and little
brain.
Young man. don't stand looking after that
young woman who has the distinguished air,
the reputation of a flirt and belle, whose
father has heaps OF cash for it is possible
that while you are straining your eyes that
way, you may be turning your back upon some
unobtrusive little damsel whom nature has cut
as your other half, and who may be just that
faced, placid tempered, loveable little crea-
ture who will think enough of you to 60 with
you to the end of the world, and stay by and
comfort you when you get grey haired and
fdgety.
Marry, young gentlemen, and keep your
selves out of scrapes. Have something to
live for. A man alone in the world isn't more
than half man, and the world wants entire
men. So mend yourself, and be happy. And
you shall have reason to say it was good
thing you resolved to marry and refused to be
solitary, beer drinking, pipe smoking bach
elor, if you succeed as we'll in your efforts as
he who, once young man like you, is now
simply the old, contented and comfortable

A PREVENTIVE TO Sun SrRoKE.-To prevent
sun-stroke, it is said, the fishermen along the
seacoast, sometimes fill their hats with moist
seaweed though any kind of leaves moisten-
ed will answer the purpose, or even a wet
cloth upon the head, will answer. The Eng
lish residents in the East Indies, who are ex-
posed to the sun, make cap of clay and
straw, which they keep moistened and wear
close to the head.

the time, and died without waking-the knife
having penetrated her heart.

CEASE RAILING AT FORTUNE.

lease railing at fortune,
Meet life with n kiss;
Nor needlessly wish it
One cycle of bliss;
For cares but embellish
Our seasons of joy,
Like feathry cloudlets
That sprinkle the sky.
Cease railing at fortune,
Take life as ii comes;
If wanting its dainties,
Make glad DER the crumbs,
Each little is sweet, if
A smile the lip wears,
But bitter the morsel
When moistened with tears.
