SICKNESS IN SAN FRANcIsCo.-The San Fran
cisco Hereld says there is great deal of sickness in
that city, and it chiefly consists of malarous fevers.
The cause of this unhealthiness is thus accounted
for:
the Bay at low water and which is extremely noise
some and deleterious to health, we are yearly ex-
posed to another source of pestllence which can
easily be avoided. Every year. just as the trade
winds subsde, when the Heaven-provided Board Of
Health have closed their labor of love just at the
period when we should be more than usually careful

ABpUcrrex.--A little girl about eleven years OF
age, named Louisa Paullin, and daughter OF 'he
actor Of that name was enticed on board the steam
er Uncle Sam, last Thursday, BY young man
named George Servey, and carried off. The mother
of the girl is nearly distracted and what makes the
matter worse the father, Mr.. Pauin, has been con-
fined for two or three months with broken leg
The parents have sent power of attorney to their
friends in New York, by the overland mail, for the
purpose Of having the girl taken from the custody OF
Servey as soon as the steamer arrives, and sent back
1t is probable that some Of the passengers on the
steamer may recognize the girl, in which case she
may be sent back from Acapulco. Servey had for
merly worked for Mr.. Paullin, who not being alto
gether satisfied with his attentions towards the girl
had discharged him.

SOARING UP GRIzzLY.-A correspondent writes
to the Stockton Democrat, that while on a hunting
excursion to Old River, short time since, in COM
pany with party Of sportsmen, they came sudden
ly upon monster grizzly, whose unexpected pres
ence sent thrill Of terror through each individual
member of the party, none of whom anticipated
soaring up game of such proportions, or were pre-
pared for such an emergency. close fight seemed
inevitable and the huge claws and very ugly teeth
indicated the brittle tenure upon which hung the
chances of success. While considering these, bruin
slowly raised himself up and contrary to the "nature
of the BEAST" as well as the expectations of the
party, he moved away-a movement to which not
dissenting voice was heard

THE LATE SENATOR BRoDERICK.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press pays
the following well-merted compliment to our late
rally fulfilled:
"Mr. Broderick is man of singular integrity and
intrepidity one who has worked his way tohs pres
ent high position by his own exertions, and, al
though constantly deprecated by the organs of the
Administration, has displayed adegree fpower and
ability especially since the present struggle in Cali
orna began, that proves him to be not only brave
political but superior intellectual leader. Some of
the California papers alege that it is proposed to
shoot him down on the streets, and one authority
goes so far as to intimate that the person has been
employed who is to do this bloody work."

THE SENAroRsuIr.- Weller has author
lied the announcement to bo made that he
would appoint Senator to I'll tho vacancy
occasioned by the death Of Senator Broderick.
The appointment will doubtless be made In

be in his seat at the opening of Congress. A
number of San Francisco papers cay that Maj.
Samuel j. Hensely is to be the appointee, but
the statement is probably made without any
authority. Major Hensley would be an excel

SILVER ORE FOR FRANoE.-The s. F. Telegram
says that four tons of silver ore shipped the
Uncle Sam by Dupuy & Co., for France. The ore

a ton and the purpose of shipping large quantity
to France is to have it tested in such manner that
no doubt Of its worth can hereafter exist. If the
ore shipped should turn out as well as its owners

ital and population hitherwards, there is abun
dance of the same sort east of the Sierras.

The following from the great Amer

be printed in letters of gold and hung
up in every school room side by side
with the usual A B alb, dog latic. and
other nonsense with which our chill

seems 20 be the rule in onr modern
system of tuition.
Hear what Poor Richard says;
l. Plow deep while sluggards sleep
and youshall have corn to sell and tc
keep.
3. Pride is as loud a beggar as
want, and a great deal mUe saucy.
3. Silks and satins, scarlets and
velvets, put out the kitchen fire.
4. Diligence is tue mother Of good
luck.

dined with Poverty and supped with
intaIny.
6. Extravaganza and improvidencc
end at the prison door.
7. 1t is easier to build two chin.
neys than keep one in fuel.
8. If you would know the value Of
money, 90 and try to borrow some.
9. The eye Of the master will do
more work than both his hands.
10. What maintains one vice will
bring up two children.
II. llcthat goes borrowing returns

OF course we never mean 10 be
personal, but yet we know that the
following Life Lesson must find ap-
plication somewhere, else It would
never have been written. Or, like
the preparations Of the universal
physician, it may be laid M for use in
case of disease, or even taken as pre-
ventive.
Mrs. Abby Leeman was thirty
years old, and had been married just
ten years. She had an excellent hus.
band, and three good children. She
was naturally a kind, excellent WON:
an, and meant to do right; she had
one fault; and small as it seemed to
her, 1t occasioned much unhappiness
in the family circle. She was not al
ways happy at home, nor was she al
ways pleasant, though for the life OF
her she could not tell what had oc-
Cured to ruffle her feelings. She had
everything about her calculated to
beget joy, aud her every reasonable
wish was answered. But after all,
she often wore a sour face, and Der
tongue would run on in strains far
from sweet or accordant.
"What is the matter, Abby?" asked
her husband, as he returned one eve
ming from the store and found his
wife with sour face on.
"Nothing," was the answer, given
rather mOodily.
"But something must be the mat
ter. You never look SO when you are
happy" o,.
look as l feel without disturbing
you9"
"Pshaw, Abby--don't talk So" the
husband said, at the same time pIac.
ing his arms about her neck and kiss
ing her. Now tell me what has hap.
pened."
"Nothing has happened more than
usual, uttered the wife, still unpleas-
antly. "Who wouldn't be sober, I'd
like to know, stuck up here from
morning until night with two squall-
ing young ones to look out for all the
time.
Signalling young oneS!" repeated
Albert Leeman, while an expression
OF pain passed over his features.
"There! Look at that!" cried the
wife, pointing to her youngest child,
a girl of four years, was just climbing
up the tea-table after the sugar bowl.
"Get out Of that you little brat!-There
take that!-Now let me catch You
up there again! Stop that crying
stop it, say! You touch that sugar
again, and I'll give you such a licking
as you won't wapt!'
The poor chilGtried in vain to hush
its sobbing, and instinctively crept to
its fathers side. He placed his arm
around the little one and raised it to
his knee, and in a moment more, its
reddened, inAamed cheek, where the
mothers blow had fallen, was pillow
ed upon the fathers bosom.
"Oh, yes" said the wife; "now you
will pet the brat. I'd like to have you
have charge of 'em all day; we'd see
how much patience you'd have!"
81 would at least remember she
was my child" said he somewhat re-
proachfully, "and also bear in mind
the simple fact that the young dispo-
sition may gain all its impulse from
the example it receives at the hands
of its guardian.
so, yes, that's it. Of course, l am
always wrong" And then Abby
Leeman put her apron to her eyes and
began to cry.
OF course, the husband could say
no more. He had often, very often,
suffered all this before, and he had
