Over yon Desert ana Far axv.
BY SKURB.

Inc sun scars over the mountain ridges.
And golden sparkles his pinions strew,
from summit to summit like fairy bridges.
Flashing and fading in white and blue
but on causeway more light does fancy stray,
Overyon desert and far away.
Far away, where the sycamore towers,
And spreads to the morning his crown of gold
Where the breeze softly steals through the leafy
bowers,
And sighs for the cheeks that it kissed of old
Fair scene of my manhood's happier day,
Over yon desert and far away.
Sac, sad was the farewell that there was spoken
BY two true hearts in their anguish tost,-
Oh lift not the veil from the altar broken
Oh breathe not the name of the loved and lost
She sleeps meath the flowers of genial May,
Over yon desert, far, far away.
There was cheer on her lip as she slowly parted
But the pang struck deep in her loving breast
That has left me forsaken and weary hearted
An exile sad in the golden West,
To gaze mid the glores of morning gray,
Over yon desert and far away.

WHAT They WANT.-Who but sees that we
are getting nearer and nearer the miIlenial age.
Behold what the governments want to provide
for the happiness of nations:
Austria wants $50, 900; France, lean hinted
ed, but amount unknown-some say 800, 900 900;
Sardinia wants $4,000, O0o; Prussia S25, ,OO0,-
600; England S37, 100000; Turkey wants SlO,-
00,000-and as much more as she can get ;
Russia S2o.000,000; and several of the minor
kingdoms snd principalities come in for share.
1t looks like grand conspiracy, entered into by
the rulers OF Europe, to get money out of the
pockets OF the people. | also find that the
United States want from ten to fifty millions OF
dollars Peru from twenty y-ive to thirty millions,
Mexico, any amount she can get; and several
other governments are in for greater or lesser
amOunts.-Paris Cor Bulletin

New ROUTE IN SHASTA VALLEY.-There Ia
considerable interest felt in Shasta Valley con-
cerning new route, which, it is represented,
will need scarcely any grading, but which needs
considerable cutting out through heavy timber,
and will, it is said, shorten the old Pit River
road some twenty-five miles. The new route
starts from Strawberry Valley Ranch, and leads
to Squaw Valley, twelve miles from thence to
Bear Valley, and strikes the old Pit River road
twenty-five miles below Lockhart's Ferry. This
road will avoid the heavy sand this side of
Pilgrims Camp, and has good grass and water
the whole distance. Parties are now engaged
in a survey.-Yreka Union.

mon wild privet, or, as some term it, grease
wood, which grows so plentiful and luxurient
throughout California, has been transplanted by
them and is now growing finely in their garden.
The mode adopted when setting out the hedge,
was to cut off the branches Of the shrub within
about two inches of the root, and then cover the
same with earth. 4 few applications of water
VIII be sufficient to start the young shoots, and

defense OF American citizens, their property.
and their vested rights. The dispatches to flag
olhcers McLuney and Long commanding the
Home and Pacific squadrons, are to obey the
orders OF Gen. Lamar, and failing to receive

efetion; The usual diplomatic course has been
pursued in informing the foreign Legations of

PHESoNENeE.-A late number of the Sacra-
mento Standard contains the following:
a gentleman who is a close observer of vege-
table growth, relates the following particulars ::
Eight or ten days ago, he first noticed that i'm
mense swarms of small black flies had fastened
themselves 60 the bedes of the cottonwood trees,
skirting the levee, andin his own garden, threat
ening them with disease, if not DEATH Within
a day or two past, the ants discovered these
flies, and climbing the trees, commenced an in
discriminate slaughter, which has entirely re-
lieved them of the nuisance. Thousands and
tens of thousands of detached legs, wings and
heads of the insects might be seen on the ground
near the trees. 1t will require the learning of
the naturalist to account for this strange occur
renee.
We have observed the presence of the same
sort Of flies, in immense numbers, upon the Cot
tonwood trees around our dwelling. We also
observed that the ants, in relieving the trees of
the fly nuisance, furnished, in their own pres
ence, an infinitely greater nuisance

CaoIERA AMONG THE D1GGEns.-The subjoined

extract is from Mrs Days Hesperian:
In the fall of 1888, the cholera broke out in
California, and ragged with terrible violence
among the Indians; so great was the mortality
that they were unable to burn or bury the dead,
and the air was filled with the stencil of decom-
posing humanity. a traveller who passed up the
Sacramento Valley at this time, relates that on
his way up he passed place where there were
about three hundred Indians, with women and
children, encamped; when he returned after an
absence of three or four days, the ground was
literally strewed with dead bodies, all having
died except one little Indian girl she occupied
the camp alone, while around her lay the fester-
ing bodies of her dead companions, and the air
was rendered noxious by the disgusting stencil
arising from the dead bodies which, not alone
in this camp, but everywhere throughout the
valley, strewed the ground.

SHASTA COURIER.
Blind Opposition.

Several editors in this State have become so
hostile to the National Administration, in op-
posing its Kansas policy, that they oppose and
denounce its every act-they see nothing good
in it-nothng to commend. This sort of blind
opposition is unreasonable, and must defeat the
very end sought to be accomplished. No sensi-
BILE reader of such papers will fail, after a time,
to perceive the absurdity ofthe editors position,
that everything the Administration does is done
wrong.
The Sacramento Register, paper certainly
conducted with great ability, is among the class
of papers to which we alIude So bitter is the
editors hostility to Mr. Buchanan that he would
hold him responsible for even the misfeasance
in office of an appointee located in the interior
of the Indian country. That paper of the 30th
ult., says:
Judge Cradlebaugh publicly complains of
Gov. Cumming, and charges that he is aiding
the Mormons to defeat the ends Of justice This
is another evidence of the disgraceful policy Of
the Federal Government
Now the fact that Judge Cradlebaugh, in
Utah Territory, charges Gov. Cumming with
aiding the Mormons to defeat the ends of Justice
of course reached this country before it arrived
at Washington, and of course the President, as
yet, had no opportunity to attend to the matter.
Notwithstanding this fact, however, the Register
is grumbling because Cumming has not already
been removed Besides, this is but ''charge"
against an appointee of the President. Would
the editor have man disgraced and removed
because of charge made against him, without
giving him an opportunity to defend himself?-
1t may be that Gov. Cumming will prove himself
innocent of the offence charged But the edi-
or ignores these possibilities, and at once jumps
to the absurd conclusion that Gov. Cumming
alleged effort to " aid the Mormons in defeating
the ends Of justice" is part of the disgracefal
policy of the Administration"
The same editor speaks Of the Administration
policy of furnishing slave codes for the Terrific
ries by act of Congress. Where is there the
slightest evidence that the Administration fa-
vors anything of the kind? 1t does not exist
except in the mind Of blind hater of Mr.. Bu-
chanan. Several Southern Senators announce
on the 23d of February, that, if certain i'm
probable event were to happen, they would be
prepared to come to Congress and ask for relief
And straightway these blind opposers of the
President say that the Administration favor:
their postionl
This sort of Opposition cannot hurt the Demo
cratic party, and only allude to it in order tt
show how unreasonable reasonable beings car
and do act where they give loose rein to those
least noble passiors-preiudic and hatred
