An AMUSING Incident in the Court Of
Sessions, yesterday, Judge Robinson was
charging the jury, and when all was very
still except the voice of His Honor, drunk-
en- man. who was inside of the bar. arose
and said in loud tone, I'm sorry, Judge,
but I've got to leave you, old fellow" The
effect was ludicrous in the extreme, and the
way the Sheriff hustled the fellow out was

Honesty Pillar.

Keepers Of public treasure in California are in
the first rank of unfortunates difficulties heset
them from the time they take the office until they
retire like the drunken man who under
takes to walk floor crack, they swear that
they can and will 20 straight, but reel and step
wide of the mark, il they do not actually fall full
length and hurt themselves. They say it does a
dog good to whip him, it makes him more obedi-
ent and aflectionate. II is certain that the pen
whipping of the press operates less etlectually on
treasurers there is nothing in the punishment
which causes an improved behavior; other public
men receive chastsement more like the animal.
1t is proper therefore that new stmulant be
provided one that will please the higher sensi
blities exalt the ambition of the individual aud
purify the notions of the official We propose
that a collection be taken up in each county, aud
that every mau who has any ything, give something
toward building stone column, to be called Hon
esty Pillar, whercou shall be craven the name of
every State, County and City Treasurer who
shall get through his term of Office honestly and
systematically. This, think, is the last resort
and extremely reformatory. Besides operating
directly upon the officer, it would inspire every
person with wish to become u treasurer, and
there would come glorious period OF popular
honesty, reolaiming, restraining, benehttng and
cvilizing the whole race of political asprants-
We must have inducements to arrive at this NOR
al and honorable condition. What inducement
is there now for men to be upright? None we

Keeping Up the Prices.

We have every confidence In the Influence ol
/ the press upon the popular mind. Its voice Is
public opinion. One Journal controlled by All
unthinkiug mind can bring more disaster to a
/ community in month than dozen OF its cotem-
poraries can repair in twelve. The masses. how
ever intelligent seldom think; they purchase
opinions ready made from the editor for five dol,
lars per annuli. 1t is cheaper for them TO do so
than attempt to wiunow truth and right from the
measure Of falsehood and error In which they
often lie buried. How important is it, then, that
the conductors Of the ptess should be mea OF
Judgment aud honesty
Why the .NorntHg Call, a journal claiming tho
countedance Of the laboring classes, has taken SO
decided stand against every effort to increase
the population OF the State, we cannot for the
life OF us determine. II is certainly one OF the
most singular freaks known In journalism, and
Mas only been equalled by Squibob who play
ed such havoc with the political platform OF the
San Diego Herdid during the temporary absence
Of its editor. The CdN supports its position with
the sole and feeble Argument, that an increase OF
population would result IN decrease of the rate
of wages aud that California now contains as
MANY people as can find profitable employment
Such arguments need no answer. They are an
injury to the state, however, as furnishing u text
from which certain Atlantic papers will howl
most vooferously
The wealth OF State consists In its agricultuI
raj resources, its manufacturing advantages and
its mineral deposits, In all these qualifications
for greatness California is emiinently blessed
Why, then, should its fertile acres remain until
cd, why its mountains unprospected, when thou
sands of strong arms are idle in the East for
want of employment, and all the State requires
is their aid to build 1t up in groatnessl In our
valleys,
Thousands of acres of untitled land
Are lying in grievous dearth,
While thousands OF men in the image OF God
Are starving all over the earth :
and the gold fields Of the interior will furnish
employment to hundreds OF thousands for years
to come. Beueath tho mountains lies buried
quartz enough to alone yield fifty millions OF
treasure per annum for century, and In the
same depository are cubic miles of as rich earth
as ever yet greeted the eye of miner.
Let the population come. We can tind homes
and happiness for hundreds Of thousands. What
though the lahorer's wages be reduced The
price of living will be correspondingy decreased.
Even admitting that tho laborer would be sub
octed to lower standard Of wages, Is this re-
spectacle reason for opposing further increase
of our pcoplcY The glory and prosperity OF tho
State cannot be sacrificed TO the insane attempt
to maintain high rates of labor Preventing Inn
migration for such purpose IL giving aid TO tho
worst Of monopolies, and Is treasonable to our
best interests. Mon have worked too long for

RAIN DROPS.
BY ANNIE T.. now e.

o there is soothing melody
In the gentle drops of rain,
As they softly patter DER the roof,
Or 'gainst the window pane
When trickling with pleasant sound
Adown the sloping caves,
Or dropping in their tired descent
Upon the withered leaves.
Unlike the night winds signing,
Unlike the zephyr's strain,
Yet they have soothing melody
The gentle drops of rain.
love at night to listen,
When I've laid me down to sleep;
TO the low and plaintive murmur
The falling in-drops keep.
However wild the feelings
In my spirit wrought by day,
The music of their melodies
Soon smoothes them all away,
And sweet and pure emotions
Come crowding back again,
As listen to the falling
OF the gentle drops Of rpin.
Then | weave the brightest fancics
And call their pattering sweet,
On the roof so softly sounding
Like the fall Of angels feet
When at their Fathers bidding
They leave their home of light,
And coming down they watch us
Through all the silent night.
And the low and gentle murmur
The falling rain-drops keep,
Are the evening songs they sing us
While hushing us to sleep.
And the dashing of the bright drops
Against the window glass,
Is the rustling of their golden wings
AS back and forth they pass,
These are the sweet imaginings,
Thus the fancies bright,
That come with the pleasant sound
OF rain drops in the night.
