POVERTY BAR, Feb. 10th.


EDs. LEDGER:-Having but recently ar
rived at this now aourshing camp, on the
Mokelumne river, am not up to all the
ropes; yet have seen enough to convince me
that its superior, in all that pertains to a
mining town, is not to be found in the State.
The completion of Davis & Co.'s splendid
ditch. and the branch of the Mokelumne
Hill ditch recently constructed, has given the
miners here all the water they can desire, and
at very cheap rates. Thirty-three cents an
inch is the charge for water by one of the
companies for common sluice head, while
those who use more, get reduction on that
price. The other company, ! am informed,
offer water at present for less figure. For
mining camp as old as this, think it is
one of the liveliest ever saw. The rush of
strangers is such that frequently some of
them are unable to secure beds for the night.
At no other place that / have seen, does
so much mining appear to have been done,
and yet there are no appearance OF failing.
Hundreds of claims are now staked of, and
being worked, that are as rich as the ground
that has been worked. Many are very bad
y situated for working, being too low, SO
that the dirt has to be cartcd quite dis
tauce for washing; some of these pay as high

How AN EASY DIVORCE Law ONCE
WORKED IN FRANcE.-Lke causes produce
like effects. The S. f. Ere Bulletin advises
the admireres of the present law of divorce
in California to ponder on the following pas
sage from a work called the Court Of NapO-
lem (the elder)
Marriage soon became illicit, and wedlock
reapsed into intercourse. The law of di-
vorce had fastened upon the country this
deep social stain. What was before solemn
and indssouble, was now precarious and
transitory. 1t became easier to put asunder
than to join. Libertinisn was the pet child
of the law, and wontonness the privileged
daughter of the CODE The marriage cere-
mony was styled by Sophie Arnold, and in
one of the statirica publications of the time,
the Sacrament of Adultry." Women were
transferable like season tickets, and negota-
bic like stocks; their value fluctuates like re-
al csfato. Those that become old during the
contiap6nce Of The law, and before the reyi-
val, found the. 9selyes bereft of all which at
that period of existence rendered life desira-
ble-the respect Of friends, the companion
ship of children, and the approval Of con
science. People divorce after weeks con-
nccton; so that marriage became lease, and
separation clause in the contract as pthy
as postscript. People divorce for dissimi-
larlty of inclination; they divorce for moth
ing. They marry in order to divorce, and
they unmarry to divorce again At the
promenade, those who were married yester-
day meet, already bound by another Hymen.
They have had time to forget, for they bow
as to different acquaintances a countess
divorces and marries her footman. Soldiers
going into winter quarters, marry for the
dead season.

A New York letter says the resumption of
operations by many mills in the manufactur-
ing districts has already had cheering in
fiuence. Itgives employment TO a large num-
Der of operatives at a season when distress
adjustments are mostly held by Incorporated
capitalists, who are working up stock on hand,
and who desire to keep their machinery in
order Private enterprise cannot venture,
amid the discouragements still existing. 1t
has been suggested as means of disposing
of fabrics of home manufacture, that fairs for
the sale of goods be held, after the manner
