How TO USE MoNEY.-If the money which the
farmers have put into stocks and bonds had
been used in improving their farms. building
new and comfortable dwellings, improving
their various breeds of animals and adding gen
orally to the productiveness Of their estates,
the community would have been much better
off in every respect the present moment There
would have been fewer banks to have inflated
the currency and expanded credits, and there
would have been more capital among the peo-
Pile, which would not have been affected by pan
ic, and which would have been beyond the reach
Of Wall street influences. That man is more
secure from Panic, and that man best invests
his money who invests it where he has control
over il himself, and not where others manage
it for him. The best investment for the mer-
chant is in his own legitimate business; for the
manufacturer, in his mill; for the sea captain,
in commerce.; aud the best place for the far
mer's money is in improving his own broad
acres, instead Of running to the city with il to
be used in the purchase Of bank stock, controll-
ed by directors, be knows not who, aud engag-
ed in business he knows not what-Lfe Illus

A FAMILY OF BANDITs.-An extraordinary tri-
al lately occurred in the department of Alne,
in France. Fourteen prisoners were accused
Of five murders and f:ty-ninc robberies, with
violence or otherwise. This was, in fact q
band of brigauds, who managed to exist in a
peaceable neighborhoOd, simply by the fear
their names inspired, until their depredations
became so bold that the local authorities we're
compelled to call into requisition extraordinary
means for their arrest. They were nearly all
relatives, father, brothers, sisters, sons-in-law,
aud brothers-in-law. An old man, the leadin g
spirit of the band, and three Of the most terrible
of the others, were condemned, at the conclu-
sion OF the trial, to the guillotins, while son
was condemned to imprisonment for life, and
several others to long terms Of imprisonment

A PLEASANT IScIDENT.-In the rough seram-
BILE for Office at Washington, says the Boston
Journal, the following incident stands out in
happy contrast:
The Chairman Of the Committee brought q
stalwart young Irishman to the Capitol, to in
troduce him to his new station of assistant
door-tsnder, and its former occupant. whom he
requested to explain to him his duties The
new conner looked at the man he was about to
displace. aud discovered that he was a cripple.
On asking him how be had become thus mutt
lated. he was told that he had been shot and cut

for dead on the field, and only recovered to find
himself hopelessly mutilated for life. The gen

ESCAPE oE MURDHRER.-Bill Judd, the mur-

Jail at Crescent City, has again escaped from
prison. BY the steamer before the last from

there feared Judd would make his escape, aud

Judd, and another prisoner called "Jack," who
we're confined in one room. their supper To
enable them to eat, the handouts were removed
from their wrists After they had eaten, the
irons were replaced on Eli Booths arms and
Mr.. Liddie was putting them on Jack. The
latter made sudden attack upon Liddlc with
his irons, striking him a number Of heavy blow
about the head. At the same Instant Bill Jude
attacked and knocked down the jailer judo
and Jack then ran out of the door and started
down the street at full speed. Liddle pursued
and drawing pistol fired two shotS-One o

We are Informed by q gentleman, who should

occasioned by actual want, is being suffered by
a large number Of families ia this city, some Of
whom, through pride, having been formerly
well off, are reluctant to make known their &C.
tual situation, and keep up appearances as far
as the household is concerned, but with empty
larders. 1t is to be regretted that in city like
San Francisco, sach q state of affairs should ex

female, was oceasoned from the fact that for
forty eight hours neither her husband, children
nor herself had broken bread; the former being
too dlsheartsned and proud to beg, so it was
resolved that the whole family should seek
death. The "good Samaritans' should be on

A ser.p Of Hara,lan Hl.tory.

Kamehameha w., King Of the Sandwich Is
lands ordered that seventeen minute guns be
fired at noon on the 18th Of December last, and
that the officers of his government wear Grape
for fifteen days, in honor of the memory of Ad.
miral Richard Thomas, of the British Navy,
who restored the Hawaiian Islands to the late
King, on the 3lst of July 1s43
Taking this proclamation for q text, the
Friend, published at Honolulu, refers to the
occurrences Of that time. and we gather from
its statement the following facts:
Previous to that period, there was party on
the Islands, which for several years had been
engaged in lawsuits and difficulties with the
King. Early in 49," Sir George Simpson,
Rev. VIM. Richards and 7. Haalilio, native.
were sent to London as Commissioners to settle
the difficulties between the two governments.
Two months afterwards Mr.. Charlton, the Bri-
tsh Consul left for England, aud on his depar-
turs wrote TO the King saying that he should
be severely punished for having insulted the
British flag. He went by Mexico, and at Ma
zatlan found Lord George Paulst in command
! of q British frigate. Lord Paulet sailed for
the Sandwich Islands and arrived there on the
10th Of February, lS43. He made certain de-
mands, and negotiations were carried on for
two weeks, till at last he threatened to fire on
the town of Honolulu, unless his demands were
complied with, and the King consented TO tenn
porary cssson of his kingdom to Lord George,
subject, however, to the settlement Of the Diff
culties by the London commissioners. That
was on the 25th of February, lS43; the Haw-
allan flag was lowered and the British hoisted
in its stead. For five months from this time,
the Islands were governed by provisional
government On July 26th Of the same year,
Richard Thomas, Commander Of the British for
ces in the Pacific, aud Rear Admiral of the
white, arrived aud assured the King that his
sovereignty should be respected, and his flag
restored, aud be kept his word, for on the Slst
of July, lS43, his kingdom was given back to
him. and his flag saluted by twenty-one guns
from each Of the English war ships. The treaty
made in London, on the 2sth Of November, Of
that year guaranteeing Hawaiian independ-
ence, was signed by the Queen Of England and
the King OF the French, and Kamehamba and
his native chiefs rejoiced exceedingly. Aud SC
the matter rests, to this day. Hence it was
that the present King was pleased to do honor
to the memory Of Admiral Thomas.-Sdc. Bee.

DISCOVERY ~ Rich DIGeTNGs ON TEE SALMoN
RTEE.-J. B. Wise writes letter to the Shasta
Courier, from Methodist creek, South Fork Of
the Salmsn, which contains an account Of some
wonderfully rich diggings. He says:
By long perseverance, and untring Industry,
the miners Of Salmon river have at last struck
diggings that cannot be beat BY any in Callfor-
mia. Late last fall. jim Mathews and Gardner
were out hunting, and accidentally run across
q man who had been working on this creek all
summer who told them he had averaged seven
dollars per day fer the time he had worked.
They returned home, and on the day following
came back and went to work with eluices Ne
one knew their Whereabouts until abuot three
weeks age, when they were discovered. They
very promptly told what they had done. For
tweaty-eight days they had taken out Jorty:fce
ounces per day! The secret was kept until about
ten days since, when of course grand rush
was made for the new diggings, and prospect
ing gone into extensively. Some have got
as high as $500 to the pan! and not o
single claim has failed. The snow is toe deep
aud the weather toe cold to operate to good
advantage yet. This creek emptiss into the
south fork Of the Salmon river at Dumphrey's
or what used to be called Fisk's Trading Post
and runs directly southwest to the Trinity and
Salmon dividing ridge, heading opposite New
river, tributary Of the Trinity. The 6rst i've

hemmed in with high mountains aud form quite

where the "honest miner" is going to make his

INDIANS IN TUoLUMNE.-For months past, says
the editor Of the Columbia Courier, our feelings
have been shocked at the condition Of the Indi-
ans who are located about this neighbOrhood
There is no sympathizing care extended to these
frail relics of humanity, as the winter storms
sweep over their miserable huts and their an
clad bodies Their intercourse with civilized
communities has been accompanied with the
ordinary results which other tribes have sxps-
rieneed under similar cumstances-destitu-
ton, intemparance and vice, in their most re-
voting aspects. As soon as the gray light Of
morning appears, they may be seen prowling
round in search of miserable offal, for which
they must compete with the dogs. At midnight
their savage bowls may frequently be heard. IS
they return to their sleeping places, half crazy
from the poisonous drink which they have i'm
bibed from some of the low groggsriss about
the sutsktrts Of ths town.
