ECCENTRIC OPINIoN-As Schnigle Fritz
was looking over his favorite paper the 9TH
er day, he encountered an anecdote of a
young woman who, when asked why she
did not marry, replied that she was not able
to support a husband. Such an evidence Of
feminine sense and prudence extorted our
friends admiration and he emphatically re-
marked that if it was his fortune to know
such woman he would-try to find her
husband who could support himself.
After rejecting in silence for a moment
and heaving one or two pensive sighs, he
lifted up his voice and said, he considered it
very wise provision of Providence, that
when man was too lazy to earn his own
living he always had patient industrious
wife to do it for him. Sometimes, to be sure,
such wife revenged her domestic serfdom
by becoming bit of tyrant, proceeding
even to the extreme of forcing her lord to
assist her in the most menial tasks. Gener-
ally, however, wives who support their hus-
bands are meek and obedient creatures, who
properly appreciate the high mission they
fulfil and after which so many of their strong
minded sisters in vain aspire. The superior
creatures whom they call husband are not

The MODEL OF SoLoMoN's TEMrLE.-This
wonderful piece of work is still in progress
at San Francisco A late number of the
National thus alludes to it:

bestowed upon it, and our readers can form
some conception of this splendid piece Of
architecture when we state, on the authority
of its constructor that it has already cost
Sl6,Oool The exquisite carving, the mag
niffcent and lavish gliding and superbness of
thewhole lestructure, would take many columns
to give even slight idea of it. 1t must be
seen to be appreciated, for it may be truly
reckoned as one of the wonders of the world.
For some four months. from twenty to twenty
FIVE workmen have been at work upon it, and
for several months previous, artizans were
employed, to say nothing of the years of
study, necessary to make it complete model
of the great original.

presented by the Cleaner:
Religion religions deep convic-
ton in the heart of man of the existence of
God, of His providence, and of His having
so arranged the world that wickedness ruins
the wicked, and virtue insureth eternal life;

article in the same paper that few frequent the

WELL DoSE CALIFoRNIA!-This is the ex-
clamation of Forney's Press when noting
the appropriation by our Legislature of ST.
900 in aid of the Mt. Vernon fund. The Press
indulges in the subjoined outburst
We admire the Golden State We admire
her energy, her activity, her patriotism. her
good fortune. We havE very appreciative
idea of her wealth, and strong opinion
that, with her fruitful soil, her beautiful cli-
mate and her energetic industry, she has full
capabilities of surprising every State in the
Union in Cereal as she confessedly does in
precious Mineral wealth There seems no
destiny too grand, too great, too noble for
California. Morally and intellectually, as
well as politically, she is rising and rpening
When we recollect that only about ten years
have rolled ON since California was annexed
to the Union, and that, up to that period, its
resources had not even begun to be devel-
oped, we are almost lost in wonder at her
surprising progress. 1t is impossible to pred
icate what may be the Future of such a
State.

BINDING Force OF DEBT.-It has often been
said that the secret of British conservatism
is the immense national debt The Govern
ment has an army of creditors, belonging to
all classes of the people, who have a direct
personal interest in its stability, and hence
will oppose their influence to any violent
schemes of change. For this reason, partly
reform in England has progressed slowly
and gradually. 1t is land, to use the words
of Tennyson,
''Where freedom broadens slo,ely down,
From precedent to precedent"
Awriter has observed, with more pithiness
than general truth, perhaps, that an English
man considers the public debt sheet an
Choir of safety, if not the palladium of his
cesntry's liberty. Proceeding on similar
belief the editor of the Placerville Observer
deprecates the constant clamor for retrench-
ment in our national expenditures, and thinks
the progress of the country has been greatly
retarded 'by this nggardly policy of dole
ing out public cash." He advocates the
creation of a national debt; thinks the peo-
plewill never be truly sovereign until the
government borrows of them; or, in other
words, sells herself to them; and that moth
ing but home public debt will effectually
Silence the cry of disunion, and check that
fssiparous tendency which, in the estimation
of some fearful ones, threatens te separate
our glorious ocnfederacy into warning frag-
ents.
