Scarcity OF Money.

There is universal complaint, in every por-
ton of California, of an unprecedented tight
ness in the money market-of painful scarcity
of money. 1t is not wonder that it is So Du-
ring the month of October last the enormous
sum OFFS ,5s7, ,246 81 treasure was exported from
California Is it any wonder, then, that money
is scarce? Remove three and half millions of
specie from New York in a few short weeks and
a hundred failures and tight money market
would be the consequence. Withdraw three
and half millions of specie from the State of
Virginia, or Kentucky, or Ohio, or Illinois, or
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, or any of the
States east of the Rocky Mountains, and what
would be the consequence? Why in half of
them there would not be golden eagle left, and
in the remainder failures and suspensions in
business would be the order of the day Bleed
strong and healthy man copiously from day to
day and he must soon be deprived of strength
and energy. So with California Let this drain
upon her life-blood continue, and so long will
she continue powerless for her own good Who
can suggest a remedy? Let him speak, and be
immortal.

THEY ARE ALL CHARIoTs SO said Chris
tau lady Of the torturing pains that hastened
her dissolution And so can the true disciple of
Christ say of all his Affections. David could
thank God for them They brought him back
from his wanderings. Without them he might
have lost his soul. Sometimes our pains are
charots, indeed, and in them we go up where
no clouds are between US and Paradise. Some
of the Christians sweetest moments amid
rackng pains and trials, which if borne with for
titude and patience, will not only bring us soon
to our journeys end, but will sweeten our rest
that rest that remains for the people of God.
Oh, how well and sweetly shall we rest when we
are permitted to step from these chariots of pain
to the embrace and bosom of angels and God
our Saviour
"Roll swiftly round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day"

DEATH OF DENNIS DUNN, OF TEHAMA-The
Sacramento Union gives the following account
of the circumstances attending the sudden death
of Ex-Sheriff Dunn
Dennis Dunn, Ex-Sheriff of Tehama county,
and much esteemed citizen of Red Bluff, died
about 6 o'clock Wednesday morning on board
the steamer Sam Soule. The deceased got on
board the steamer at Red Bluff, being partially
deranged at the time. During the trip down he
exhibited symptoms of disordered mind. The
officers of the boat, to whom he was well known,
gave him such attention as his condition seemed
to require When within few miles of Colusa
he suddenly jumped overheard, bat continued
to float until assistance reached him, and he
was taken on board again, appearing to be in a
fit. Everything was done for him which the
circumstances allowed. On the arrival of the
boat at Colusa, which was in few minutes, a
physician was called, who at once pronounced
him dead. Dunn had been resident of Red
Bluff for several years; his untimely end will
be mourned by large circle of friends.
| Mr.. Dunn formerly was a resident of Shasta
and but two or three days previous to his death
was in our town in his usual health. We have
known him since 1882 From that period until
his election to the Sheriffalty in 1856, he never
touched any intoxicating liquid. Afterwards
however, he commenced tampering with the in
sidious monster, until it obtained complete con-
troll over him-and his untimely and lamentabl,
death is the result. As be was known verl
generally among the young men of this portion
Of the State, we mention these facts as warnings
Even in death poor Dunn speaks in warning
tones to his numerous friends ard acquaintance
Like large majority of those, who have beer
mastered by the love of strong drink, his was
true heart and generous soul. Peace to hi
ashes, pleasant thoughts to his memory, rose
upon his gravel

THE NEXT STATE FAIR.-The idea embodied
in the following article from the California
Farmer we rather like:
The next State Far will astonish the world
by the products that viii be shown We wish
to make suggestion, that we believe will meet
with favor-it is original at least: Let the next
State Fair be Grand Encampment LEI it be
Great and Grand Rural Scene, such as never
was seen before at State Fair. Let a proper
place be selected, where every part of the State
can be represented a general rendezvous of
Families from every section of our State, and
let them come and dwell in tents;p all ar
ranged by Counties. Thus the cost viii be but
trile to each and every famiy-they can bring
their own food. On such plan, there could be
social union of friends from all parts of the
State, at trihing cost. Fashion and frivolity,
drunkenness, gambling, and carousing, would
all be done away with. Grand Pavilion could
be built for an Exhibition Room; and, as we
have no rains, it would be safe and beautiful
arrangement What a glorious sight A thou
sand tents! Like the children of Israel, they would
appear; and the banners and streamers would
tell where each could be found II would be
Rural Scene that could be carried out here. but
In no other State in our Union. 1t would be,
truly, glorious sight Parents and children-all
would unite; and with but triaing expense
Here, too, the dance upon the green, and all
those rural sports that would be so delightful to
witness

MONSTER BALLooN.-Prof T. S. C. loves
monster balloon has been completed. The Pro-
fessor was announced to voyage in her across
the Atlantic during the month of October. The
balloon cost $25,OOO, and is large enough to
carry six passengers, besides a letter and news
paper mail. A description of it says:
Over six thousand yards of the best material
have been used, and seventeen sewing machines
have been employed on the work, and, it is es-
timated, have done tue work that would have
required two hundred girls to perform in the
same tlme The eronaut does not claim to have
invented any new system of ballooning, but he
| has been enabled, by the assistance of friends.
to construct machine in which he is determined
to test the practicability of transatlantic voy-
age. The entire height of the balloon, from the
bottom of the boat to the top, is 24O feet and
| its diameter l23 feet. The boat is a life boat
| 40 feet in length, 8 feet beam and deep, and
Will contain caloric engine for the purpose of
working propeller on the screw principle. The
size of the or basket is 80 feet in circumfer
ence. 1t is calculated that the propeller, which
is placed in the bow of the boat, will enable the
| aronaut to raise or lower the balloon at plea
sure, and to keep steerage way on it. The bal
loon will contain about 700,000 cubic feet of
gas, and viii weigh, with the car, boat and
their contents, about three tons, and will pos
sess lifting power Of 223 tons. 1t is expected
to make the voyage to Europe in two days.

asgH the Utica Herald thus describes Mr.
Fernando Wood, of New York:

Fernando Wood, of New York:
" Fernando Wood is the Mephistophles Of
politicians. He is the smildest hammered man
that ever packed caucus or got up q row. He

love OF m.a.' His form is slender, but fault
esssly proporioned his tread elastic to airiness,
and carriage graceful to the last degree. "
forehead is broad, without being massive, and
his features regular, yet strongly marked. The
general expression of his face is that of eternal
pacidity. He might have sat for the portrait
of Oily Cannon in Ten thousand Year ,
and were it not for that pitiless eye and those
closely-compressed lips, you might mistake him
for moral reformer or Home Missionary So
ciety agent. The face of Louis Napoleon is not
more sphynx-like in its expression. Without the
apparent dullness of the latter it has all its in
scrutabiiity. We watched it narrowly during
that terrible row at Syracuse, and except that
it was shade paler, you could not have known
that human passion had ever stirred it, He
has in an eminent degree the elements of
successful modern politician. He is cool, in
trepid, shrewd a man who would stand head
and shoulders above his Democratic rivals in
