BoREs.-The Grass Valley National
has pertinent article on bores. Ifany-
body knows this species of the genus
homo, it is an editor:
The bore is generally person of great
pretensions he knows it all, and then
persists in telling it to you, time and
time again. lie expects you to listen
patiently and say nothing except you
agree with him. He is seldom in hurry,
and never takes hint. You may tell
him that you will see him again, that
you are going after the Doctor, that
your wife is sick, that the devil is wait
ing for copy, or what you will, the bore
heeds it not; he has got you, and you
must grin and bear it; you must have
that patience which s'is the virtue of
an ass" that trots beneath his burden
and is quiet; like the Aztec King, you
must smile while you are stretched on
burning Goals.

"No TIME. We complain that we
have "no time" An Indian chief of
the Six Nations once said wiser thing

Coop BREEDING.-The extreme of
Japanese breeding seems to be to remain
silently attentive while your company is
speaking. The result of this is that
arguments and disputes are by no means
common, simply because one party al
ways waits quietly until the other has
shad his say We wonder if this true
politeness couldn't be made to radiate
from Japan toward the land of the free
and the home of the brave?'

LYNCH LAw.-The annexed remarks
from Gov. Weller's annual message are
worthy to be reproduced and carefully
read:
The frequent recurrence of these ex-
ecutions and the total failure of Courts
or juries to prosecute, is calculated to
retard the settlement of the State, and
turn the tide of emigration in differ
ent direction. Men will not like to
bring their families into community
where their lives and property are at the
mercy of an infuriated populace. These
lawless acts are doing incalculable injury
to us abroad, because they make the
impression that the bad men outnumber
the good, or else that the Criminal Courts
utterly fail to perform their duty. 1t
would be humiliating to admit the truth
of either. Good citizens should hunt
up the testimony, and see that indict-
ments are presented against these men,
who are striking at the vitals of society.
When men unite to take the law into
their own hands, to avenge their wrongs,
whether real or imaginary, good citizens
must combine to bring them to punish
ment, or else there is an end to all Gov
ernment Indeed, if these unlawful
executions are not arrested, our noble
State, with all her wealth and inexhaust-
ible resources, will soon stand disgraced
before the civilized world.

AUsTRALIA.-The seventy-frst ami
velsary of the settlement of the Aus
tralian Colonies was celebrated in Lon
don on the 9th January by grand
dinner. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton,
the Colonial Secretary, made a speech
in which occurred these statements:
'In the comparatively brief period to
which the days of any obscure peasant
in one of our remote villages may extend,
Australia has added to the sway of
Queen Victoria more than 100000
British subjects, of freemen born to ex-
ert a powerful influence on the destinies
of the world. The revenue of the
young dependency somewhat exceeds
$4,000, 900 sterling, its imports amount
ing to 927 100000, and its exports
to between 922, 100000 and 923 ,0O0,-
OO0."
The speaker, in alluding to the una
bated loyalty of the Colonists, accounts
for it thus:
"The first British settlers of America
were refugees, who fled from this country
before she had acquired for herself civil
and religious liberty We can, there
fore, understand how, in that case, there
should have long obtained ranking
feeling of hereditary resentment, and,
it may be, hereditary misconception,
SO that the United States are, perhaps,
among all the great powers of the world,
the one which is most liable to capricious
fluctuations in its friendly afinities to us.
Whereas you, the colonists of Australia,
took with you when youwent forth no bit
ter angry recollections. You did not
carry with you associations of the reign
of the Stuarts, but tender affection
for free country and benignant
Queen"

KANAKA LADIES Rowena Granice
has been to the Sandwich Islands and
tells the Golden Era about the Homo
lulu women:
The dress of the female is very pecu-
liar rand somewhat picturesque. The out
er garment, or frock, is generally Of the
richest silk or satin, and sometimes
velvet, and is made after the fashion of
a priests gown, hanging loosely, from
the shoulders to the ancle. They don't
wear hoops. Many of them wear no
shoes, seeming to care little for their feet,
but the head is at all times ornamented
with a garland of fresh flowers, woven
of many colors Their hair is soft and
glossy, flowing either in waves or ring
lets about the neck. < :; <

males ride astride on these occasions, and
their riding costume consists of about
ten yards of fashy calico wrapt around
the waist over the walking dress, each
end falling gracefully over the side Of
the animal, and slightly caught up with
the toe, is fastened in the stirrup, thus
forming a long skirt on either side. An
elegant talma covers the shoulders, and
pretty riding hat, with a garland of
fresh flowers and gerapium about the

"A PICTURE OF CLEAR LAKE.
following pleasant extract we take from
an article by ]. A. Veatch, in the Hes
ferian:
As the lake is literally hidden betwixt
mountain ranges, with peaks rising sky
ward to a great height, the approach to
it gives no evidence of its presence
until the traveller looks down upon its
silvery surface. A green fringe of tules
marks themargin, land cosey little islands
dot its center. 1t is like the unmask-
ing of hidden battery of beauty; and
l know Of no surprise more agreeable
and striking than coming on Clear Lake
for the first time. If the day is fine, a
fleet of Indian boats chasing birds and
casting nets may be seen, and the cry
of frightened fowl mingled with the
merry shouts of the boatmen. In the
background of this picture of life and
activity, are the distant mountains, blue
and hazy, hiding their SUBMITS in white,
feecy clouds. 1t makes one feel half
willing to turn Indian, and seize on
"some dear little isle of his owl" ,"-wed a
dusky belle, and spear fish the remainder
of his life! But, alas, the romance is
broken if you approach too near;-dis-
tance lends northumberland the dark
Indian beauty that handles her oar as
gracefully as the Lady of the Lake, is
transformed into dirty digger woman,

The late mr. Marrou.

The Washington Star announces the
death on Thursday night Of Mr.. John Mar
ron, Third Assistant Postmaster General,
after brief indisposition from neuralgia,
which, suddenly attacking his heart, caused
his death in ten minutes. He was sixty
years of age.
The Star says he worked bis way from
the lowest clerkship in the Post-Ofice De-
partment to his late responsible position,
through the value of his services to the pub
lie interest. He was the life and soul of
the admirable financial system of the De-
partnent, which was literally his own crea-
ton. Firm, Conscientious and clear-sighted
in all matters of business, though in the dis
charge Of his official duties it was often nee
essary for him TO make decisions grieyously
disappointing parties doing business with
the Government, he never had a personal
enemy. He was remarkably intelligent
and well-informed upon almost all sub
iects; as friend he was invariably cheerful,
considerate and warm-hearted; and as n
son, husband and parent. We never knew
man combining more virtues and truly
Christian graces.
MIR. Marion commenced his services rs a
clerk in the Post-0ffice Department. 10 1880,
became chief clerk in 1885, and Third As
sistant Postmaster General in 1876. He
was born in Ireland, but was brought to this
country in his infancy, and was reared in
Georgia. He leaves wife aud largo fami-
| ly of children, and widowed mother of
great age.

selling white slaves IN Wa.hina1on.


In his letter of Feb. oath, to the Ashta-
bula Sentinel, Mr.. Giddings says
The most striking incident in the House

was the appearance Of very decent lady

licitipg aid to purchase herself and two
children from the pirate who holds them in
bondage. They were as white as Mr.. Bu2
chanan and Miss Lane who receive homage
at the White House, yet they were held as
slaves; subject to the masters will having
''no rights that aOhits men are bound to re-
spect.' The child is offered for sale by its
reputed father, held as property ready 60
be sold as swine. The spectacle was too
painful for me to look at. 1t stirred my
very soul with mortifying grief aud shame
for my country, when l reflected that the
laws of Congress should sustain this sale Of
Christian souls in open market. took oc-
casion, however, to get rs many luke-warm
Republicans and Democrats to look at this
Christian mother in her humiliation, as
could, and deep and earnest were the curses
which they uttered against this heathensm
of our nation. One of them declared that
If there were such place as hell, the advo-
Gates Of slavery would fnd the hottest por-

But there's only shoe that is soiled and tor,-
The foot comes no more that that shoe has worn.
Only these relics--and nothing more7
Can nuught to our arms the lost restored
Must we hopeless yearn, the years goby,
For the bounding step and the beaming eye;
And Of all that beauty and life and grace,
SO fondy cherished, retain trace
Save these silent relicsi oh nevermore

oh woe for love, when from all its store
II points to these tokeus and nothing morel
When the vacant hall and the silent stair
But echo the groans OF its wild despair,
Aud from all the voices in earth and sky,
Comes back word to its wailing cry
Save the moUrnful echo-"Oh nevermore
viii the grave to thy arms the lost restorcr'
Oh Joy for love- when it ycarns
For that which the grave cannot restored
When it upward stretches its dropping wings,
And in darkness and sorrow still sweetly sings
OF the brightness aud bliss Of that better home
Where the lost are found, and no partings
Oh Joy for love, when Its priceless store
There safe is garncred for ever morei
