Fun at IIomes

Don't be afraid Of little fun at homet
gond people! Don't shut up your houses
lest the sun should fade your carpets; and
your hearts lest s>hearty laugh should
shake down some Of the musty old cob
we bs there? II you want to ruin your
sons, let them think that all mirth and So
cial anjoymcnt must be left on the thres-
hold without, when they come home a.
night. When once home isregarded IS
only place to eat. drink, and sleep in.
the work is begun that ends in gambling
houses, and reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation
somewhere; if they do not End it at their
own hearthstones, it will be esought in 9TH
er, and perhaps in less profitable, places.
Therefore, let the FIRE burn brightly at
night, and make the home nest delightful
with all those little arts that parents so
perfectly understand. Don't repress the
buoyaDt spirits OF you children; half an
hour OF merriment round the lamp and
freight Of home bluls out the remem-
brance Of many care and annoyance du-
ring the day, and the best safeguard they
can take with them into the world is the
unseen influence Of bright little domes"

In the Ninth Ward, New York, lives
an eccentric butcher, by the name OF Herr
Vonsclup. He keeps little meat store
and often amuses bis customers with his
curious comments on matters and things
in general. His wife is a patient hard
working woman. willing to turn her hand
to anything to crafty him. When her
husband goes out she attends the store.
and can slice off a steak or carve roast
as well as her husband.
Mr.. Brown is a regular customer ol
butcher Vonsclup. He is cash custom
er, and has an adherence Of accounts.
One day when Brown purchased roast,
he was short Of change just five cents
Mrs. Vopsclup served him and he said to
her:
Il will take the meat home and return
instantly with the FIVE cents. Don't mark
it down."
"Dat bees all right, Meister Brown
replied the butchers wife.
Brown hurried home: During his ab.
scncs the butcher returned, and his wife
returned to the house. Presently Brown
came back and hurriedly approaching the

the same time handing out the coin.

A Parody.

The following parody on "The Last Rose Of
Summer" WILDE specially appreciated at this
season Of the year.
IT'S tho last hog of Autumn,
Left squealing alone:
All his gruniiug G, mpanions
Are butchered and gone;
No pig Of his kindred,
No porker is nigh,
To help empty his swill trough,
Or share inhiS sty.
III not leave thee then lone one,
10 starve in the pen,
Since thy mates are all pork now,
Thou shall be salted with them.
Then thus do off, r
Fhe knife to thy throat.
That thou shalt be picked,
Like every dead shout.
And may be present
When thou ant the treat,
For ham, sauce and sausages,
Who would not eatS
When people are hungry,
And beef can't be had,
For calming the appetite
Pork is not bad
--->~~.--------
EE There's a great deal Of truth ia
these lines:
Well chase dull care away,
And Danish every sorrow,
SUBSCRIBERS, pay your drbs to day,
And WE'LL pay ouis tomorrow.

THE REGION OF PERPETUAL SNow.-Mr. John
s. Hittell asserts, in Hutchings' Magazine, that
Mount Shasta is the only California peak rising
to the region of perpetual snow he admits that
snow may remain all the year on the north sides
of certain mountains, and in sheltered ravines,
but be believes that Shasta is the only point
where snow boldly and successfully dedes the
sun. So far as our observations have gone in
traversing some five hundred miles of the range,
bis observations are correct. We first saw this
celebrated landmark from the summit of the
Sierra Nevada, in October, 1S49 at that time
no snow was visible elsewhere, even from point
of great altitude. We have, however, found
snow ten or twelve feet deep, in July, on Pilot
Peak but il disappeared before succeeding winter.
In April, 1850 we passed over mountain in
Sierra county on which snow lay not less than 40
feet in depth ; ten or fifteen remained in June (;
but in October, having occasion to cross the
mountain, we found the whole mountain top 10 a
blaze, and in attempting to pursue the dim trail,
came very near being burned to death. Abound
ing perpetual snow does for poetry, well enough.
but it melts before the hot suns of August aud
September.

CoID-BLooDED MrsIcIAN.-About six years ago,
late in the summer, we had occasion to travel
across the mountains from Jamison creek, and
becoming bewidered, camped alone by a small
Jake. The water was nearly covered with float
ing chunks of ice, on which sat multtudes Of
frogs, screaming with aboriginal energy. AS
night increased their croaking became almost
deafcning. We threw stones and frebrands at
them, but there was no perceptible diminution
Of screcch. A few bear tracks discovered before
dark, added not little to our uneasiness 10 that
dismal place Finally we struck camp" basii-
ly and took the desperate chances by continued
travel and reached q mining camp about mid
night
In childhood we used to go to innocent and
peaceful sleep listening to clamorous frogs in the
swamp but those diabolica aboriginal reptiles
screaming from miniature icebergs filled the
woods with horrors-tbey and the bears.

SUPPORT Your PARTY PAPER.-When, because
of continued misrepresentation, the administra-
ton men proposed establishment Of journal at
Sacramento, the oppostes jeeringly enquired
where the money was to come from The paper,
at least, came with prodigious celebrity, and now
democrats ought to support it. Hardenburgh is
a deserving man, and has spent more money for
the party than any other person in it. Judge
Bolts is a man of powerful mnd and is associa-
ted with distinguished journalist ability. The
Standard, conducted on the plan announced in
first number will not fail to be good and useful.
1t contains Legislative reports in full, and Su-
preme Court proceedings, and has, in addition,
capacity of sound opinion vigorously expressed,
which is not perceptible in other journals there.
Every democrat who desires to sustain Journal
capable of usefulness, should speedily order the
Standard-the commencement Of such enterprise
is the time when friends are needed Give Har-
denburgh the support he has deserved of the
party, and you will have journal influential
and excellent in all respects.

"FLAT- FOOTED DEMooRACY."-A cotemporary
startles us by the expression flatfooted democ-
racy /" We suppose he means democracy in
broad-soled boots. We are reminded that there
is smuch too little this sort of government party
arrangements being generally perfected by de-
mocracy on high heels. People whom labor
weighs down till their feet are fat" trust toe
much to direction of The high-heeled sort. They
do not sufficiently realize that the latitudinous
underpinning of labor is the pedestal Of free
thinking agents in government

FRIENDSHIP RECoGNIzED.--W have been pro-
voked, on several occasions, to deal harshly with
contemporaries who unnecessarily assault us-it is
always disagreeable to us and our readers, and
we had much rather be deprived of quarrelsome
cotemporary. But there are others who have
ever been kind, appreciative and encouraging,
and who have, perhaps erred in partially.
Among them are the Napa Reporter and San Jose
Tribune, whose editors have spoken so frequently
and kindly, that we beg permission to thank
them in this brief paragraph

POPULAR WRITER'S or VERsE.-The best evil
dence of writer's merit is the fact that his pro-
ductons are understood and valued by persons
who bestow little time on literary criticism. lie
speaks the natural language of the heart and
people understand it without translator or com
mentator. We know several splendid nteligen-
ces who write beautifully and profoundly the
laborious student can discover perfection in all
their works but their fine productions pass over
the heads of people not so studious, or SO much
at leisure like the spcd at too great eleva-
tion.
We think that the two most popular of all
verse writers for California papers are WELLS
and MRS. FADER /; all they write is read, talked
about, and invariably finds reprint, though not
always Immediately after publication. Some ap
preciative mind rescues the verse from oblivion
and starts il on journey anew.

EXCITEMENT AT SHASTA.

ATTEMPTED EXPULSION OF CuINEsE--RIoT-DE DEATH
SHASTA, March l.
Miners in Horsetown district assembled to-day,

Flat, hearing of which the rioters changed course
for Shasta, collecting all Cinnamon on Oregon
Gulch, Middletown, and other places on the route.
The sheriff went to Middletown and learned that
party with 200 Cinnamon had left. Another
party was behind the sheriff met them, when
they dispersed and took to the bushes, leavng75
Cinnamon to the sheriT's party. Deputy sheriff
Dent summoned 20 men and met advancing party
short distance from town and released the
Cinnamon. Rioters marched through town and
were harangued by several persons-am0ng
others, by ex-Assemblyman Hare, leader of the
party. Stockton soon after came in with 100 law
and order miners who met at Excelsior Hall in
the evening.

or Hall, which was densely filed He stated that
the laws had been broken by large number Of
armed men, and that he intended to stop the riot
at all hazards that release of the rioters in jail
had been threatened, but that 1t should not be
done while he was Sheriff He then called on all
good citizens to aid him, and was warmly ap-
plauded. Elk Gov. johnson was then called for,
who declared himself there to obey the Sheriff

MUD FEEDERs.-A contemporary is alarmed at
the voraciousness Of rivers; they are gnawing at
the base of mountains until they become so
" filled up' that they cannot carry the loads laid
on them by commerce. Our friends speculations
are not unfounded; and if he will follow the trib-
utaries to their source, his apprehensions will
rather increase than diminish. He will be aston
ished at the inroads which the avarice of man has
forced water to dig in the hills. In some places
" deep cuts" of one, two and three hundred feet
in width have been pursued into the mountain
until they present perpendicular " face" of one
hundred feet. All the earth, removed by the
united strength of men and water in four or five
years, has gone down the hill to the nearest creek
and is there worrying its way onward. Thousands
of these mud tributaries are daily pouring their
sluggish contents

SUSPECTED TREACHERY.-There are multit8des
uncharitable enough to believe that the Father
of the Pacific railroad" has not been really so
solictous for its infant welfare as he made be-
lieve. 1t is believed that Notwithstanding bis
annual bringing forth of a speech, that Gwin was
all the time aware that it would amount to moth
ing. We do not readily credit the existence of
such devilish duplicty, although aware that great
overland travelling facility would deeply injure
the Senator in his nautical possessions 1t seems
strange that person reputed to be in high favor
with the President and prominent men of the
nation should not have been able to secure at
least decent attention to that celebrated measure.
There is a great mystery about this which, per-
baps, his peculiar journals can illuminate. We
suppose our DOCTORS railroad constructiveness

ry his eyes, filled with tears, fairly glowed with
passion, and lifting his thin, trembling hand, he
swore, between broken sobs, the most ferocious
oath of revenge that we ever heard from human
s--defying the Living God to prevent him
from tearing out and roasting the heart of every
Indian that ever came before his rife. The poor
old man was crazy parting with him at Las
