Christian Bdp tism Of JeacisA Chill
dren.-According to Paris letter in the
Independence Beige, the children of a
Jew named Gugenheim, convict, have
been baptized in the Catholic Church.
The writer says:
Gugenheim belonged to the Jewish re-
ligion. When he was conducted to
the prison, at Caen. his children were
entrusted by the Prefect, as was his GUS
tom in similar circumstances, to the city
hospital. Sometime after they were
placed in that institution, they were cat
echised and baptised. The Sisters were
we'll pleased with them, and the certifi-
Gates produced testify to the good con-
duct and proper sentiments of the unfor-
tunate children. The Sisters, therefore,
were very des.r US ofkee ping them .
Mr.. Isidore. the Grand Rabbi ofParis
demanded them of the Prefect of Calva-
dos, ir order to have them brought uI
in an Israelite establishment. The Pre-
feet thought it his duty to refer it to tho
Minister. A few days ago a brief anf
imperative order was dispatched from
Paris, to have the Gugenheim children
put into the hands of the Grand Rabb
Isodore, the spiritual head of the religion
of their parents, although the latter hat
been, by reason of their condemnation
deprived of ali right over them.

BITTEN BY SHEEP-There was a
fellow in certain neighborhood in Ar
kansas who was suspected of sheep
stealing. At last a planter riding
through the woods perceived the sus-
pected individual emerge from the
woods, and after looking around to see
that no one was near, walked up to a
flock of sheep and knocked over one of
the largest and fattest. AT this momen
the planter rode up, and confronted the
thief, exclaiming:
"Now, sir, have got you. You can
not get off you are caught in tie act"
"What?' Indignantly inquired the
thief.
"Why, sheep-stealing," was the i'm
mediate reply.
"Sir, you had better mind how you
charge respectable American citizen
with such crime as sheep stealing"
replied the gentleman, with the pen
chant of mutton.
Now, will you deny that I saw you
kill that sheep?" asked the planter.
"No, sir" was the answer; Il killed
it, and I'll d. it again under the same
circumstances. I'll kill anybody's
sheep that bites me as I'm going peaea-
bly, along tn road"

The Milwaukee Ncscs says we have
been shown by Mr.. Span, at the First
Ward market, specimen Of potatoes
that are really astonishing. They are
of enormous size, smooth. :hin skin, and
of light flesh color. They were raised
in the garden of William Wedemeyer,
near this city. from seed obtained in
California, and he says that if he had
planted an acre of ground, and the yield
had been in the same ratio as the few
feet he did plant, that he could have
raised seven hundred and fifty bushels
from the acre. Mr.. Spean has a few of
them, and those who wish to obtain
the seed can do SO by calling upon him.

Trials and Tribulat,ons Of a Candi-

nal of defeated candidate" we COM
mend to the consideration of those gen
tlemen who are desirous of serving the'f
country. We think there are some peo-
Pile in this region who will find it not
altogether fancy sketch. 1t has been
published before, but is good enough to
road again:
THnrsday-Received the nomination
for on office; surprised and indignant,
demonstrated with committee was told
that l must place myself eventually IN
the hands of my friends; eventually did
so.
Friday-Immense poster on brick
pile opposite my house, my name in two
feet letters. Great anguish on the part
of my wife and family, who believe that
every officer in the city government, ac-
cording to law, is to be indicted aad
tried at the end of his term. Friends
meeting me in the street say there is
rumor about town that l am up for office
"a rumor which ought to be contradic-
ted. Other friends offer ironicaf con-
gratulations. and leave me in doubt
whether the office is unfit for me, or.
for the Office. Old gentleman says he
wont believe it for he knew my father,
who was very respectable man.
Saturday-Man on the stoop of my;
house with big whip and terrier !; broad
shoulderek, slovenly person, with san
culinary eye; came to advise me of a
class ofrufians that 60 around election
times, extorting m oney from the candi;
dates. Offers his services to tend the
polls. Customary, he says, to pay in
advance. ! refer him to my committee.
He whistles to his dog; engage him at
So, cash down. We part with mutual
expressions of esteem.
Going in, find six men smoking in my
parlor-delegates from target excur-
sion. Customary, they say, for candi:
date to give prizes on these occasions. 1
refer them to my committee. Captain
very politely tells me he'll give me time
to think about it, and will come on Sun
day, with the whole guard; to let me
see what fne-looking set of fellows
they are. Result $40 for the prize.
Erening-Excited persons call for a
subscription for banner. Man comes
with wooden leg-wants new one !
three more banner men clergyman for
subscription to a deserving charity
seventeen men to attend the polls
more cripples. Delegation wants their
fire engine painted-men without arms
to post bills-a woman with subscriptions
for a coffin-children all crying Up
stairs-my wife in hysterics-general
terror and confusion.

CLIMATE OF CALIFoRNIA.-In an az
ticle in the December number of Hutch
ings' Magazine, by John S. Hittell,
upon the climate of California, the wri-
ter says;
ga railroad, about one hundred and
eighty miles long, running nearly due
east from Oakland, through Stockton
and Sonora, and near the Mammoth
Grove of Mariposa and the Yosemite
Valley to the summit Of the Sierra Ne
xada, would enable the people near the
line to place themselves, every summers
day, III any tolerable degree of either
heat or cold. Eighteen miles west of
Oakland lies the beach of the Pacific,
where chill breeze blows withuot ceas-
ing; and, going eastward, the traveller
would gradually get into warmer cline,
until in Stockton he would find the ther-
mometer at 100 degrees, most of the sum,
lner moons; and, going still further, he
would gradually rise into the almost
freezing comb of the Sierra. A branch
road running soutEward to Fort Yuma,
would enable the traveller to enjoy al
most as great variety of climate, iii a
winters day, as could be found in the
other during summer.
