LOGICAL EFsEcT OF An ILLOGICAL DECISION
The Gotdn Era referring to Justice Hud-
sons decision in the case of the Bulletin,
whose publishers were found guilty Of vio-
lating the obscene publication act, speaks
as follows:
"By this wanton violation Of the spirit of
the law to uphold its loose -jointed letter,
every bookseller who disposes Of Bible is
liable to criminal prosecution, as there
are numerous passages in that holy book
which no respectable parent dare read to his
family, and which, if here literally copied
would jeopardize the pockets of the extreme
ly modest, highly virtuous and very respect
able proprietors of the Era Let the first
man detected in selling Bible be present.

the matter, and ascertain which is fish and
which is flesh. The statute requires re-
modelling"

gyman did for ShakeSpeare-pre a fami-

PEoToCRAPHIC ALBUMS. The world has
not nearly discovered yet, in how many
ways the Photographic art can advance its
interests, minister TO its enjoyments, and pro-
mote its intelligence. Quite recently, Mr.
Hittel suggested through Hutchjng's Magaz ne,
the very beautiful idea of procuring photo
graphs of ones friends, and preserving them
in album form. Now we notice in the AHa
another suggestion, with reference to photo
graphy as means of procuring copies of
paintings, though we believe the English ar
fists were the first to act upon this idea, and
have begun the collection of such copies
with much zeal. That excellent Journal
says.
at will not be many years before every
gentleman of moderate means will be able
to have large album with fine Photographic
copies of many Of the greatest pictures in
the world-copies in which the main merits
of the paintings will be plainly visible to
those who could appreciate the originals
The taking of such copies has already been
commenced, and some fine specimens may
be seen at Muygridge's book store. We saw
there few days since, Photographic copy
of picture by. Kaulbach, one of the greatest
living painters of Germany, and the copy
was so good that any connoiseur would prize
it beyond an original of many minorrespec-

THE DEATH OF De ToceuEvlLLE.-De Toe.

THE DEATH OF De ToCeUEvILLE.-De Toe
quevile, whose death at the early age
of ifty-four years is reported by the late in
telligence from Europe, is known to Ameri-
cans chiefly by his remarkably excellent
work on American institutions. 1t has been
generally considered that his views of our
political institutions are more general, COM
prehensiye, and philosophic than have been
presented by any writer, domestic or foreign:
A more luminous and impartial treaties upon
a foreign people, more just appreciation of
a foreign government never came from the
pen of a traveller, than De Tocqueville's sDe-
mocracy of America. Sac Union.

BEEF EATERs.-The English are called a
nation of beef eaters, but the term would ap-
ply almost as we'll to Californians, who no
toriously consume an immense quantity of
animal food, chiefly beef In one of the in
teresting statistical articles which the Sac
ramento Union frequently publishes, the
number OF cattle slaughtered annually in
this State for consumption, is estimated at
10000. This, says the Union, "is only the
number of sheep which were offered up at
the dedication of Solomon's Temple, but it
is rather voracious consumption of animal
food, and shows that we are no vegetarians. >
Ifto this could be be added the exact amount
of game that is yearly consumed, the total
would be quite surprising.

AN ERROR CoRREcTED.-The subjoined is
an extract from Hittel's "Varations of the
English Language" now being published in
the .4Hd:
Psycho1ogyand Electrical Psychologist are used
vulgarly by some Americans to mean mes
meric abnormal nervous condition, properly
styled ''partial Hypnotism" in which a per-
son, withoutlosing his normal Consciousness,
is yet subject to the control of another, who
may make him believe and do many things
which he would not do or believe but for
such control. The use of psychotogy in this
sense owes its origin to ga trick of trade" by
one who pretending to be its discoverer, gave
it new name The real discoverer was Mr.
Braid of Manchester (Cdpeater's Human
Psychologu Sections 685,694). Psychology
meahs; properly, the science of mind, and it
is a gross vulgarism to attempt to restrict its
meaning to such a class of mental phenom-
ena as appears in any branch of mesmerism.
Psychological is vulgarly usedas an adjective
relating to the condition Of partial hypnotism
and to psychdlogize means to turn person
into that state Electro biology is another
American vulgarism for partial hyph6tism
and owes its origin to the same trick OF
trade which attempted to give new mean
ing to Psychology as a quack doctor puts
up an ancient REMEDY id d new shape calling
it BY new rane, and puts it forward as a
proof that he is great discoverer and bene-
factor of mankind.

THE ExCITABEE PRESS.

The newspaper press of San Francisco is
remarkable for periodic attacks of excite
ment amounting to madness on some occa-
sons 1t seems to break out Simultaneous
ly, though once or twice it has been COM
municated like hydrophobia, from one to
single paper, when it appears to be the re-
suit of unexplainable idiosyncrasy. As an
Illustration, take the late Cole mania. This
was the hydrophoba, or communicable kind.
One rabid journal bit all the rest, and straight
there was dreadful concert of passionate
! imprecation, of wild and furious anathema.
But the fit spent itself and all was calm
again. excepting those slight spasms ofspleen
and acrimony which are always occurring
between rival papers at the Bay and may be
regarded as symptomatic of the general ten
dency. Next may be noticed the Pendleton
craze, which was of the simultaneous kind,
and universal The rawlings of our afflicted
contemporaries under this attack were most
awful and distressing. THEY lashed them
selves like the old self-torttring Saints of
Egypt, and howled and gesticulated like a
band of Dervshes. But time, that power
full bpiate, brought relief as usual; tie afflic-
ted are once more quiet An especial char
acteristic Of these attacks is the elaborate,
vet frightful, ingenuity of language which
they inspire. The most consuming, wither-
ing, diabolical invectives and epithets are
invented and hurled forth, as though the de-
mented victims had new gift of tongues
There is real virus in their adjectives, and
every word stings like cowhage. For the
poor wretch upon whom they fasten in their
fury there is no help They writhe and
hiss about him mercilessly, to crush him,
like the serpents around the Laocoon-and
only he who feels, or affects, a stony indiffe-
renee, escapes them unharmed.
The class of papers alluded to are repre-
sentative, and are to be found in every great
metropolis. They imbibe the poisonous ex-
ctement from the popular BREATH or from
Wnat tney conceive 10 De popular oplnloH,
and are worked into fame by the heat of
their own words. Though this does not ap
ply to a class of fjournals which have mono
maniacal tendencies of their own, that are
excited by being touched just as patients in
the mesineric condition are said to exhibit
when particular ''bufnp" is touched, the
passion or sentiment Of which it is the or
gan Some individuals have a chronic
craze, and are always raving, with alterna-
tions of fierceness and wildness-now roar
ing you like any lion and then as gent y as
it were sucking dove" What the cause
of this may be we cannot determine, and
only mention it as a curious phenomenon.

AGRICULTURAL CoLLEGE.-In six or seven
States of the Union agricultural schools are
already in successful operation, either under
private auspices or those of the State; and
efforts are being made for their establish
ment in several other States. Why not es-
tablish one in California where the demand
for agricultural knowledge both theoretical
and practical, is rapidly increasing and is so
much stimulated by the peculiarites of our
soil and climate? The State might found
one with but little expense, by Debating
some Of her swamp and overfowed lands
for the erection Of the necessary bnfldings
and appropriating n sum of money merely
sufficient to support the institution thro' its
infancy. 1t is not improbable that an agri-
cultural school will be established in Sono-
ma county by private enterprise. A cores
pondent of the Petaluma Journal makes
some very practical suggestions to that end,
recommending the erection of an "Agricul-
tural and Mechanics College," at which pu-
pills can receive full English education
while at the same time they are inducted into
a knowledge Of farming as an art and science
Thus would not only the mind but the body
be educated and developed. A generation
thus taught and reared would not have an
active mentality predominating over weakly
bodies, nor would they be so apt to stag
nate through life as non-producers subsist-
ing on their wits or those of others.

finding himself at home, and wishing to join his
