BAD OPINION OF MANS CoURAGE.-Mrs. Sig
ourneys sister writes to the North Iowa Times in
opposition TO the absurd notion that man is
disgraced by anything else than his own conduct,
in reference to the Sickles affair
And yet this man. who could meet the shells Of
humanity that formed his society at Washington
until he had vindicated his honor, must now meet
the multtudes at his trial-bear the coarse jeer-
iDgs of unprincipled lbertines- confront this
wife whom he magnanmously promised not to
injure''-hear again and again, with exaggeraton
and minuti@, the whole history of his misery re-
vived-meet the wondering looks of his little one
turning from father to mother for an explanation
of this mystery, and in after years be tortured by
her re-occurrence to the first chapter Of her lfes
reality II he can do all this and dare to meet
his Maker at last with the brand of a murderer
on his soul, and yet could not meet the talow
faced mustached puppies of his club room ; tell
me, in Gods name, in what consists the superior
courage of manhood

VINO WILL Do Ir-The Sacramento Standard
is in great agony over Broderick. After saying
it is tired of repudiating him it breaks forth
thus "Let the brave and youthful Senator
signify the manner in which be wants to be kicked
out, and the boot will be applied with vigor
which will preclude the possibility of his return"
Once on time so Hsop informs us, there was
a meeting of rats whose propensities for taking
that which did not belong to them was much
interfered with by cat. 1t was proudly proposed
by younger rat that bell should be tied to the
neck of the cat, and thus they might know when
their watcher was after them. This proposition
met with great applause until question arose,
which of them should bell the cat SO it is with
the Buchaneers. They may talk about the neces.

Patriotic INDIGNAToN.-HoIMEs, of the Mar
iposa Gazette is vexed because the citizens OF
Mariposa won't celebrate the approaching Inde-
pendence Anniversary. lie merely asks:
"Can we be losers by the celebration of this
day? Is there no reason for longer keeping up
that good custom? Where wrangling and politi-
cal contention seem to most shake the stability
of the Union where the minds of men are drawn
from the consideration of the interests of the
country, and are struggling for their own ad-
vancement-it does seem that something might
be gained by not merely celebrating this day, but
devotng it entirely to the consideration Of those
affairs which it naturally calls to mind.'
The day has never been celebrated in Weaver
Vile properly. General Hyslop, of the Second
Brigade, has offered to supply powder for shoot
ing" the requisite number of guns on that day
won't somebody read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence?

WHAT HE HAS DoYE.-Tn his farewell sermon,
on Sunday, Mr.. Benton of Sacramento, thus EMU
merated his mental labors
"Duriug the ten years of my ministry in Cali
fornia, have preached l,006 sermons In the
three previous years, 307 sermons. In all, 1913
sermons in thirteen years. During these ten
years in Sacramento, have fully written out a
fraction less than five hundred discourses. | have
delivered also, an average Of two lectures year,
of literary character. | brought with me to
these shores, as the result of the labor of preVi-
Gus years, about fifty written sermons, and hun
dred in mere outline. Nearly half of those
brought with me have been used here also.
About one-fourth of the sermons written, or pre-
pared, here on this ground, have been preached
twice. In this manner, $50 of the sermons in
this State are accounted for. The remaining 256
of the l,006, have been sermons prepared only
in outlines technically termed skeletons; some of
them jotted down in that brief way, and some of
them not noted on paper at all.

MORMON BRUTAITY.-The st. Louis Republican
publishes letter from an officer in the army at
Camp Floyd, Utah, from which we extract the
following:
No longer ago than yesterday, while sitting in
the Generals quarters, knock at his door an
nounced poer, unfortunate young man, about
nineteen or twenty years old, handsome Danish
lad, who had been barbarously mutlated, and
fed for protection all the way from San Pete
Valley to our camp. He shed tears while telling
his story. The case of this young man excited
our sympathy much. He had, it seems, paid his
court to young Danish girl, who had emigrated
here with him, whom he bad known from child
hood with view to marriage. The attachment
was mutual, but some hoary-headed old scoun-
drel of Bishop, or other official, wanted the girl
for his harem, and, jealous of the handsome youth,
had him tied and thus mutilated him, first giving
him a chance between that and death.

For CALIFoRNIA-Wm Rice, for a great many
years a citizen Of our county, took his departure
on Friday last for California. Mr.. Rice, on this
journey, travels like the old patriarchs of old,
with his wife, his children. his men-servants, and
maid servants, and his focks and herds. His
outfit consists of six large wagons and teams, be-
sides his travelling carriage ; seventeen men to
cattle, mostly young heifers, many of them Of the
Durham stock. He also takes with him six OF
his family negroes. These negroes had their
choice, to remain here or go with him, and chose
the latter. Mr.. Rice has always been one of our
most thorough farmers and enterprsing men.
May he be as successful in California as he was in
Missouri !-Lndependence (Mo.) Messenger.

The Calico Dress.

A fig for your fashionable girls"
With their velvets and satins and laces,
Their Diamonds and rubies and pearls,
And their milliner.fgures and faces;
They may shine at party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess,
But give me in place of them all
My girl with a calico dress
She is plump as partridge. and fair
AS the rose in its earliest bloom
Her teeth will with ivory compare,
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step is as free and as light
As the fawns whom the hunters hard press,
And her eye is as soft and as bright
Ny girl with the calico dress.
Your dandies and foplings may sneer
At her simple and modest attire
But the charms she permits to appear
Would set a whole iceberg on fire.
She can dance, but she never allows
The hugging, the squeeze and caress;
She is saving all these for her spouse
My girl with the calico dress.
She is cheerful, warm hearted and true,
And kind TO her father and mother;
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother.
If you want companion for life,
To comfort, enliven and bless,
She is just the right sort for wife
My girl with the calico dress.

Practical AMALGAMATIoN.-Mrs Sarah War
ren formerly Miss Sarah Judson, a handsome and
accomplished Michigan girl who recently married
her fathers negro servant and is now living with
him at Windsor Canada West, thinks the news
papers have had enough talk in regard to her
choice of husband, and writes the following to
the Pontiac Gazette:
81 cannot listen longer to the atrocious false
hoods which the newspapers have originated
concerning my father, and keep silent. Justice
TO him, and also to myself demands that should
speak. Whatever be may have done to injure me,
] cannot keep silent and allow him to be accused
SO falsely. He never taught me that amalgama-
tion was right, but on the other hand ! know that
he has ever been opposed to the intermarriage of
the black and white races. ! hardly know what
to think of the editor Of the Free Press be has
steadily persevered in telling untruths in almost
every article he has published concerning the
circumstance Of my marriage From the facility
with which he propagates falsehoods, should
judge be must be son of the 4" father of lies"
IL you editors must pursue your mania of pub
fishing to the world the minutest details and cir
cumstances of every strange occurrence, you
should positively know whereof you affirm. You
ought to attach blame where it belongs, and not
attack the innocent with sanderous pen. 1t is
a shame to SO abuse one who has no knowledge
Of the affair. The papers speak of my return to
my husband, but in fact they know nothing about
it. The fact is my husband came to Galesburg,
H., (where was lyiug,) after me, and returned
with him."

Weaverville, Saturday Morning, June Is, lS5S'

AN AFFECTING SCENE.-Tbere is now confined
in the Jail at Cincinnati an old man named Kain,
charged with murder. More than two years ago,
he killed young man named Singleton, who had
seduced one of his two motherless children. lie
was tried and convicted, and, after long series
of legal proceedings, the conviction was set aside
and new trial ordered. During the interval,
he has been in prison. In the meantime, how
ever, the daughter, in revenge or punishment OF
whose wrongs he had committed the homicide,
being without home. parents or friends, descend
ed with regular steps the pathway to shame and
crime. Her younger sister also became an out
cast, and few months ago both were arrested
on a charge Of larceny. For three months, the
father and daughters have been in adjoining
cells ; but during that time, nor indeed since be
killed the seducer of the elder, has he spoken to
them. A few days ago, the counsel for Kain
succeeded in producing reconciliation between
the parent and his children, and the scene that
took place is described by the Enquirer:
By the kindness of the jailor, the daughters
were allowed TO visit their father in the cell,
when most affecting interview took place ; the
girls falling on his neck and weeping like chill
dren, while from tie eyes of the strong man, who
had slain the vile destroyer Of his child's honor,
and had known her to fall step by step to degra-
daton and despair, The great tears ran like rain
the agony of heart wrung by afction and ago
nized by terrible suffering to wOman's tenderness
For some minutes no one of that trio spoke.
Sobs choked their utterance, and the memory of
the fearful past awed them into silence Their
sorrow melted them to sympathy, and love and
grief remorse and repentance, filled their hearts
to bursting. In that moment they were purified !;
in that hour their errors were blotted out by the
tears of deepest contrtion, and atonement made
to nature and themselves.
At last, one of the girls the disbonored and a.
venged, fell at her fathers feet and said, with
still streaming eyes:
90 father-dearest father, can you forgive
me? ?'
"Yes, yes, my child, with all my heart" was
the solemn and impressive answer, " as hope TO
lie forgiven!"
Then both his daughters knelt and received his
blessing, and moment after he was by their side
offering up prayer for strength to resist tempta-
ton and avoid evil in the future.

SHUN AFFECTATIoN.-There is nothing more
beautiful in the young than simplicity of charac-
ter. 1t is honest frank and attractive. How
different is affectaton ! The simple minded are
always natural they are at the same time orig
inal The affected are never natural ; and as for
originality if they ever had it, they have crushed
it out, and buried it from sight utterly Be your
self, then, young friend. To attempt to be any
body else is worse than folly. 1t is an imposs-
bility to attain tit is contemplate to try But,
suppose you could succeed in initiating the great
est man that ever figured in history, would that
make you any the greater? By no means. You
would always suffer in comparison with the inta-
ted ones and be thought Of only as the shadow Of
substance, the echo of a real sound, the coun-
tcrfeit of pure coin DR.. johnson aptly com
pared the heartess imiator-for such is he who
affects the character of another-to the Empress
of Russia, when she did the freakish thing of
erecting palace of ice! 1t was splendid and
conspicuous while it lasted But the sun soon
melted it, and caused its attractions to dissolve
into common water while the humblest stone
cottage stood firm and unmarried. Let the fabric
of your character, though ever SO humble, be at
least real. Avoid affecting the character, how
ever great. Build up your own. Be what God
intended you to be--yourself, and not somebody
else. Shun affectation.

THE ITALIAN BATTLE FIELD-The April num-
Der of the ReUue deS deur .Nondes contains an ar
ticle on the Austrian Italian armaments. In the
first division, first chapter Of this article the mil
itary strength of Austria in Lombardy at the
beginning of February is estimated to have been
100000 men. These figures, however, are given
with diffidence, as resting on official statements
which are often purposely inexact. At the same
time, the writer considers the calculation to be
by no means over the mark, and thinks the num-
Der has been greatly increased since the time
named. In fine, be says, we believe that Austria,
without stripping her other frontiers, ana without
imposing on herself efforts too extraordinary for
continuance, could marshal in Italy 100000 men
able to bear a comparison with any army that
exists. Upper Italy, which this army would have
to defend, forms sort of arena almost entirely
environed by the Alps and the sea. 1t opens only
on the South towards the Peninsula, so as to unite
itself with the petty States that by their diminu
tiveness are placed under the complete depen-
dence Of those most powerful masters who have
for ages past held dominion over Lombardy and
the sloping sides of the mountains.
Unless the army enter by sea one of the few
ports lying beyond the line of mountain ridges
il will be necessary to cross these in order to OPP
crate in the plain, and in case of war; whichever
belligerent power has been able to assume the
most favorable system of strategical routes, will
from this very act have great superiority.
The writer then proceeds to examine the various
routes for entering Italy, and says at this moment
Austria possesses alone the advantage of these
rapid routes as far as the limits of her frontiers
France and Piedmont would be obliged to under
go the delays of crossing their confines and jour-
neying by land or sea-
