THE RULING PASSION Goodrich, late
3. p. AVERY. EDITOR.

THE RULING PAssloN.-Mr. Goodrich, late
proprietor of the Alameda County Gazette,
gives very interesting account in that jour
nal of his trip overland to the States" and
in descanting upon the merits and dement's
of his fellow passengers, says that one of
them was q rat' printer, who owns an in
terest in a paper published at Cincinnati.
He shows up the points of the fle-taied
gentleman in a very unenviable manner. In
speaking of the trials of the lady passengers,
he says" Poor lady travellers How they
are to be pitied They have to sit upright;
they cannot sprangle themselves out over
two or three seats at a time, as the men can,
or at least if they can, they won't, or if they
would, they don't. And then they look so
demure and consider every little fright of
the team as a precursor of runaway or a
general smash-up."

Immigrants are well advised by the Pla-
cerville Observer that in the mountains and
foot hills they can find numerous eligible
spots for planting vineyards and orchards,
from which in Il few years fortunes can be
realized:
g There are many other occupations which
the new conner with a small capital can pur-
sue with profit that we have not time to
point out. The advantages of an agricultural
over a mining occupation is apparent to all.
Years of the sevcrest toll and privation may
be spent in the mines without its adequate
reward, while if the same amount of labor
were spent in improving an agricultural
homestead it would make Il property which
would place the owner far above want with
a valuable heritage for his children"

SUPPORT HoME PApEEs.-Here Is some
thing that touches our feelings, and ough. to
move yours, reader. The Golden Era says of
newspaper editors:
"TEey are the most deserving yet the
worst paid people in the State. They defend
the fire sides of our citizens, paint in glow
ing and eloquent terms the beauties OF onr'
dear California, join heart -and-hand in the
cause of q railroad to connect US with the
+" old folks at home; in word, they do all
in their power-and they are powerful, too
for the good of the masses, STILL like poor
Lazarus. they must subsist upon the meagrc
crumbs that fall from the tables OF the rich,
or starye-actually starve
Truly has it been said that the editor mast
deny himself the pleasure of society and So
ciaI intercourse in order that his talents aud
time may be given entirely to the work of
writing for the good of the community in
which he moves. He must leave the wife of
his bosom upon her sick bed, or the coffin
of friend or relative, and with heart
filled with agony. write, write, write Oh,
if the public but knew with what suffering,
and at what expense of torturing anguish 1t
is sometimes served If the secrets of but
single day of newspaper life in our large
cities could blaze out. in letters of fire, be-
hind the little type, there would be exposed
the most startling revelations of mental tor
ture and physical pain, failing nerves and
wearied eye-sight. and, too often, pecuniary
distress and positive want Callfornians--
San Francscans! Why do We not "see them
we'll bestowed ?" Why do ye allow yo4r ed
itors to starve while the conductors of-swill-
milk publications Of the Atlantic are grow
ing fat and saucy upon your bounty? The
money which you expend upon foreign lit
erary and news publications would sustain
your local papers most munifcently. With

emics and bestow it upon your friends at

Curious PACKAGE BY MAIL.-A Washing
ton letter writer says that the Smithsonian
Institute recently received a package, which,
on taking off the envelope, seemed to be a
pasteboard box considerably flattened. On
opening it, however, two thriving living
specimens of the curious animal known as
the Texas horned frog were discovered. The
animals came all the way from Huntsville,
Texas, quite comfortably, in Uncle Sans
mail bag, without food or water.
The Texas horned frog is similar to the
horned toad of California. A gentleman of
this place informs us that he kept one of
these latter animals corked up in a bottle,
without food or water, for over six months,
and on letting him out he run off as lively
as ever, apparently experiencing no incon-
Yenienee from his long imprisonment-Ne

AN APT ANECDoTE The Telegram, in the
course of an admonition to those San Fran
cisco editors who are warming their own
virtues over the ashes of the vices, real or
imagined of their contemporaries" tells the
following story:
" Like a tattling schoolmate we once had
they are sly in all their roguish pranks, and
endeavor to ingratiate themselves with the
good graces of their master, the Public, by
parading and exaggeratng all the faults of
their fellows, hoping, thereby, at the same
time, 10 divert the attention of said master,
the Public, from their own peccadilloes
And here, en- passent, we will mention the
fate of said tattling schoolboy, as a warn
ing. He grew to manhood, and is now do
ing penance for his crimes inside the walls
OF an Eastern Penitentiary, while those OF
his schoolmates whose faults he delighted
to expose and aggravate, are respected and
influential members of society In youth.
he adopted the hideous policy OF warming
his virtues over the ashes of the vices OF
others; in manhood he was consumed by
his own vices

THE IRIsH REvIvAL.-Rev. George Gilil-
Ian, an eminent British preacher, in a late
sermon on the great Irish revival, said:
:: The excesSes of excitement the cries,
shrieks, groanS uttered people carried out
of church in fits; some driven mad, and
others hurried into extravagances OF fierce
and savage f,naticiSm-all tended to con-
vince him that, let DR.. Cook of Belfast say
what he pleased it was hitherto as authen-
TIC Il work of the devil as was ever transacted
on this planet" GA the contrary, the Hon.
Chief Baron Pigot, in sentencing three pr-
sonerS lately at the Down Court near Ulster,
Ireland, for riot and assault in connection
with Il miserable exhibition of party feeling,
took occasion to refer to the religious move
ment in the north as having extinguished
all party animosities, AMI producing the
most wholesome and moral results upon the
community at large. His lordship spoke in
the most favorable terms of the movement,
and expressed a hope that it would extend
over the whole country and influence soci-
ETY. to its lowest depths.

ABOUT THE ROAD We NEED.-The Hy-
draulic Press proposes to convince the peo-
pie of the Ridge that a road connecting San
Juan with the valleys on the eastern slope
of the Sierras is something much needed.
Such is certainly fact; and the connection
can be made by small outlay of capital.
The old emigrant road on the mountain
ridge along the North Yuba, is goon one
for Summer travel, and a little labor would
make it good from San Juan out The OBJ
jections to it here are, that it is not avail
able when the snow is lyng-as it runs
through the deep-snow line and it doesn't
come through Downieville, which latter Is
bound to be the trade center for large secL
tion of country about the divide and for 3
considerable extent on both sides of the Si-
erras. San Juan will divide some of this
trade with US, by making even good Sum-
mer road to the eastern slope.
We are happy to say that Downieville ia
fairly awake to its interest in the matter OF
roads, and is going ahead now to prosecute
the river road through the Yuba Gap. This
complete, snow will never block the way
from Marysville TO Utah.-Sierra Democrat.

THE AMERICAN CADMUs.-The Golden Era
gives this account Of the remarkable Chero
kee Indian, See-quah-yah, who, in the early
part of the present century, reduced the di-
a,ect Of his tribe to a written language.
"Without any knowledge of the English
language or of English letters, he set to
work IN the latter part of his life, after being
rendered unfit for the war-path by wounds
and with the assistance OF his daughter
formed an alphabet of eighty characters, and
soon found himself able to perpetuate his
thoughts on the bark of trees. When he
announced the discovery to his people, they
were wonders struck, and believed he WAS
in league with the evil one. He suggested
that the tribe should select Il number of the
most intelligent young men, to whom he
would teach the mystery. After several
months tuition, the scholars were placed
upon examination before the whole tribe,
and the Indians could no longer doubt, but
made See-quah-yah Il great man among
them. He not only mastered the language,
but invented numerals, and acquired the
fundamental rules of mathematics. His
wonderful genius at length attracted the at
tention OF the learned. and he visited Wash
ington The government had a font of types
cast for him, and a newspaper, printed partly
in English and partly in Cherokee, was es-
tablished ia New Echota.

The stone sent by D. G. Gibbes to San
Francisco lately, and supposed to be me-
teorite, proves on chemical analysis not to
be one, lacking nickel, which is found in all
meteorites. The Alta states this, and says
also:
DR.. Lanzweert had, some years ago, but
has since lost, small meteorite, an inch
and half in diameter, found near Column
bia. That was the only meteorite found in
California, so far as we can learn
DIR. Veatch says there is large meteorite
near Tucson, Arizona, and it is used as an
anvil by the village blacksmith and that is
the only meteoric body whose place is now
known on the coast

To be Deprecated.

1t not unfrequently occurs that men leave
their families in the Atlantic States and
come to California for the purpose of inn
proving their pecuniary condition, thereby
hoping to place themselves and their fami-
lies in more comfortable condition for the
future. The vast gold fields Of this State.
which send regularly and at short intervals
millions of dollars to the Eastern ports, and
the fabulous richness, which they are repre-
sented to possess, has tempted many to tear
themselves from family relations and dear
friends in search Of gold. The true condi-
ton of affairs in California is very imper-
fectly understood and consequently many,
who come amongst us, buoyant with hope,
are doomed to sad disappointment. Men
are very differently constituted. Some bear
disappointment and misfortune with stoi-
cism and resignation, an continue to toll
with an unfinching nerve and indomitable
perseverance to mount the car of fortune
and ride over every obstacle to prosperity.
Others become dsheartened and sink pow
eress beneath the hand of adversely. They
appear to lose all industry or inclination to
improve their condition, and fall into vices,
which destroy the manly virtues they once
possessed, blunt the nice sensibilities of a
noble nature, and perhaps the affections
which were once cherished for an interesting
and devoted family. How often is it the
case that advertisements appear in the jour-
nails of California from some heart broken
wife, inquiring after her absent husband
from wnom she has not heard for years, or
from some aged parent anxiously seeking
information of an absent son, who has
amid the exciting scenes of California life
forgotten the love which he once bore fol-
his fond parents, and perhaps left them to
pine in sorrow until they reached an un-
timely grave. And how often is it that
these same persons are found in our midst
leading the most dissipated and it may be,
lcentious lives, lost to all sense Of shame,
destitute of means and of the respect oil
their fellow men. These things ought not
to be, and cannot be too severely reprehended
by every good citizen.
If the eyes of any, who have been guilty
of the faults depicted in the foregoing, shall
fall on this, we hope it will awaken him to
a sense Of his shame and crime, and will
induce him to set about at once to reform
his course If he be husband, whose neg
lected wife has received no tidings of him
let him reflect upon her condition and re-
solve in future to do better. If a son, let
him remember the tender regard of an aged
parent, and for their sake, if not on his own
account, let him retrace his steps.
Those who have been discouraged by ad-
versity and fallen into vice, should arouse
themselves from their degradations and go
forth into the great battle of life like men,
resolved to win, or die in the harness.

CHOOSING AssoCIaTEs.-The settlement of
our friendships and compinioaships must
not be left wholly to the affinties of nature
and of character. There is a Judgment
conscience-which has the power to control
the outgoings of the soul, and which should
control them. If | find myself attracted to
a bad man, and find him congenial to me,
| am taught at once the nature of my own
heart and life by my intellectual afinities,
and / should conscientiously refuse to yield
to the attraction. | know that the associa-
ton will only make me worse, and that
have no right to subject myself to inf fuences
which will certainly debase and injure me.
| have no right to bind myself in sympathy
to one who will use the bond, consciously
or unconsciously, to keep me from the pur-
suit of life's nobler ends. | have no right
20 add to, and strengthen, the ties that hold
me to an unworthy life. My duty is to avail
myself OF every sympathy that will tend to
lift me into better life.-Tmothy Titcont.

ssSpoyDENcE' The editor of the San Juan

wrote back vonminous observations. This
reminds us of the INDECENT Michigan journal

1t is utterly impossible for the editor of

not wish to stirrup muss and get curried,
he'd better stop his horse talk Our editor
