COsT OF RAILRoADS.-Since 1880,
nearly twenty-seven thousand miles of
railway have been built in the United
States, which have cost, on an average,
about s35, 900 per mile, or sS45, 0OO,-
600. Many miles of these roads cost
several hundred thousand dollars each
many others cost perhaps as low as
$4,000 each. We have expressed the
belief that road between this place
and Red Bluff could be built for 81 900,
900, or $4,000 per mile. Persons
better capable of judging, think that
$4,000 per mile, or a little over one
million Of dollars, would be sufficient
to build railroad between Shasta and
Red Bluff.-Shasta Courier.

SENSIBLE AND JUsT.-Alluding to
recent movement to drive Chinese
miners from certain district in Placer
county, which, however, was not carried
out, the Placer Press says:
In this connection it is proper to
state that, so long as the State continues
to license Chinese, or other foreign
miners, they have conceded rights to
work in any and all mines, subject only
to such rules and regulations as are
adopted for the observance of other mi
ners and our officers, sheriffs and con-
stables, and our Courts, are held by their
oaths to see that their rights, obtained
by direct purchase, are protected.
We reiterate that we are decidedly Of
the opinion that it is poor policy for the
State to grant licenses; but as it so
continues to grant these privileges, we
become a party to the sale, and are bound
by all honorable means to protect instead
of molesting or driving Cinnamon away.
Change the law; repeal the statute.
Let us agitate the question, and refuse
our votes to any man on our Legislative
tickets who is not opposed to this license
policy. Do not let us be mean enough
to take Chinaman's money to-day for
privilege, and tomorrow deny him
that privilege. Be merciful and just to
those in your power"

CONSTANT EMPLoYMENT.-The man
who is obliged to be constantly employ
ed to earn the necessaries of life and
support his family, knows not the un-
happiness he prays for when he desires
wealth and idleness. To be constantly
busy is to be always happy. Persons
who have suddenly acquired wealth,
broken UP their active pursuits, and be-
gun to live at their ease, waste away,
and die in very short time. Thous-
ands would have been blessings to the
world, and added to the common stock
of happiness, if they had been content
to remain in an humble sphere, and earn
ed every mouthful of food that nour-
ished their bodies. Persons who are
always busy, and go cheerfully to their
daily tasks, are the least disturbed by
the fluctuations of business, and at night
sleep with perfect composure.

AGRICULTURAL LAND.-Tbe amoun

AGRICULTURAL LAND.-The amount
of land adapted to agricultural purposes
in California is estimated at Al ,622, 400
acres, exclusive of 100000 acres of
overAowed lands, much of which is re-
claimable. The amount of grazing
land is estimated at 30,O00,000 acres
making total of 76,622,000 acres of
land suitable for agricultural and stock
raising purposes.
In 1886 the amount of land in cult
walton was $4,000 acres; in 1857,
6S4, 1000 acres; and in 1858, $4,000
acres exclusive of land enclosed for
grazing, &C., which in 1858 amounted
to |, 159, S13-making an aggregate of
1,916,S13 acres of enclosed land in the

A WORD TO YOUNG WRITER'S
The subjoined remarks are made by
" Autocrat Holmes, in the Atlantic
Monthly:
If you have the consciousness of
genious, do something to show it. The
world is pretty quick nowadays to
catch the flavor of true originality. If
you write anything remarkable, rest as
sqred the newspapers and magazines will
find it out That is a ridiculous notion
of yours that your articles are rejected
because you are unknown. Produce any
thing really good, and any intelligent
editor will not fail to find space for it..
Nothing pleases an editor more than
to receive composition Of merit from
an unknown hand. There is always a
dearth of good articles for literary jour-
mails, for of the hundred received, nine
ty, at least, are below the sea level.
Some have water enough, but no head
some have sufficient head, but no water
occasionally, only, do they come from
full reservoirs, high up on that hill
which is so hard to climb"

CoTToN IN LIBERIA.-The Ameri-
can portion of the population in Liberia
have commenced, with much spirit, the
cultivation of cotton President Ben
son, in a recent letter, says "There
has been twenty times more cotton plant
ed by Americo-Liberians this year than
ever before, of both native and foreign
seed, and feel sanguine that its cult
walton will increase each succeeding
year." A half ton of cotton seed sent
out by the Manchester (Eng.) Cotton
Supply Association, has been planted
extensively. The Association has also
offered prizes for the production of cot
ton, which Mr. Benson thinks will OPP
crate as a strong stimulus to its cultiva-
ton. A party of emigrants from Geor-
.gia sent home lately sample of cotton
of a species which blossoms perpetually,
and one of their number asserts that
good sca-island cotton can be grown in
Liberia. The young republic has a
most hopeful future.

Two AsTRoNoMERs.-I had the
pleasure of passing an evening with the
Director of the Observatory, the ven
cradle Won Strive, whose name is we'll
know in America. He is now slowly
recovering from an illness which for
time threatened his life, and is still
comparatively feeble. He is between
sixty-fve and seventy years old, of me-
dunn stature, with large, symmetrical
head, and remarkably benign and ge-
NAL expression of countenance IN ad-
dition to his astronomical requirements
he is profound Greek scholar, and I'M
derstands the principal modern Ian
guages, including English, which he
speaks with unusual fuency and correct
ness. He is perfectly familiar with all
that has been done of late years in A
merica for the encouragement of Astron-
omy and kindred sciences, and mention
ed the name of Gould, Pierce, Gilliss,
and Maury with great admiration. Won
Strive is another example of the truth
that the study of the stars need not, as
In Newton's case, make man indiffer-
ent to the amenities of our insignificant
terrestrial life. Like other astronomers
of my acquaintance, he is particularly
happy in his family relations and takes
a hearty enjoyment in society Lever
rier is the very reverse of this, if what
[ have heard of him be true He is
said to be exceedingly proud, reserved
and ostentatious in his manner. A dis
.tinguished German recently visited him
in Paris, with letter of introduction
After reading it, Leverrier looked up,
measured the bearer from head to foot,
and asked in a rude, impertinent tone F.:
"Quc uoules-uous ?'' "Rien," coolly
answered the German, as he bowed and
withdrew.-Bayard Taylor.

THE WHEAT CRoP.-We learn from
the State Register for 1859, that in
1856 there were III, 1850 acres of land
in this State sown in wheat, which pro
duced 3,S79,032 bushels. In 1857
there were 164 ,642 acres in wheat, and
the product was 3,205, 4S4 bushels. In
1858 the acres sown were 1876, 464, and
the product 1868, 500. This, notwith-
standing smut, drought, and all other
drawbacks, is an average of over twenty
bushels per acre.

MINERAL LANDs.-Hon. j. Thomp-
son, Secretary of the Interior, in his
annual report, makes the following re-
marks
"The question presented is, shall
these mineral lands be forever withheld
from market and kept open for all per-
sons who may desire to work them and
gather their rich products, or shall they,
like agricultural lands, be surveyed and
sold, and thus pass into the ownership
of individuals? The question is inter-
esting and Of great moment; and l
submit whether it would not be wise
and sound policy at this time to pass
general law reserving all auriferous,
silver, and cinnabar mines-the precious
metals-from sale, for the use and
occupancy of the people of the United
States, under such regulations as Con-
gress may prescribe, and leaving those
lands containing copper, iron, lead, and
coal-the useful minerals-subject to
the ordinary laws Of settlement and sale
for their development. The extent of
them defes estimate, and gives assu-
rance to our people in the future of un-
bounded wealth.

Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are wearily signing;
Toll We the church-bell sad and slow,

Old year, you must not die

You lived with us so steadily
Old year, you shall not die.

He will not see the dawn of day.
He hath no other life above

And the New-year will take em away.
Old year, you must not go;
So long you have been with us,
Such joy you have seen with US,
Old year, you shall not CO.
He frothed his bumpers to the brim;
A ioIlier year shall not see
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak ill Of him,
He was a friend to mo.

His son and heir doth ride posthaste,
But he'll be dead before.

And the New-year, blithe and bold my friend,
Comes up to take his own.

Men and Principles.

A few days ago, in an editorial article
on the next Presidency. we gave express
ion to the following sentiments, ri ~
"The question reduces itself to one of
men--and that is where we have always
placed it. We have always said that our
course in the next election depended in q
material degree, upon the men put forth
as the representatives Of the respective
parties"
Upon which tho Richmond News has
the subjoined sensible commentary:
THAT comes near expressing our SEN
timents exactly. We have ceased much
to regard party. We hear much of prin-
ciples, but witness little of their influence;
and, as regards platforms, they are as un-.
satisfactory - the wind 70 Ahiingry stpsa
ach, 1t is far easier for US now to So
emphatically and unalterably, whom wSS
shall vote against, than it is to say def
nitely whom we shall vote for.
We wish-and we are determined in
the future-to know something of, and to
make sure of, the men, rather than to pa
laver about principles and platforms.-
True, we wish principles: but we wish al
so to know the man to whom power is to
be confided. We are sick of the cry of
principles, not men, We wish for 'prin-
ciples and men,
The man that we vote for must be tried
and trusty--known and approved. We
shall favor neither a mad-cap nor an old
fogy. A man true to the Constitution
appreciating the value Of the Union-one-
who will look to the good of the nation,
rather than to the advancement of him.
self or party. Such man the times de-
mand, and such must be found, to pre-
serve the integrity of the Union and
bring peace to the people. We have suf-
fered from deficient men. They have
been neither wise nor firm.
In a word, we believe the question who
will be the next President, turns more
upon the question, vho the candidates are,
than upon any other. Let the man and
his character and record exemplify his
creed and doctrines, and be his platform.
Many men are ready to profess any prin-
ciples, in order to succeed-for example,
Mr.. Buchanan's promise to California,
about the Pacific Railroad.
Let us have fit man, and his success
is well nigh certain"

The KENTUCKY GOAT TRADE.-The Rus
sellville, KY, Herald says: 1t is indeed
something new under the sun for the
"blue grass" farmers of Fayette to come
to the Green River country to purchase
fine stock. But such thing, strange as
it may appear, has come to pass. On Mon
day last, Mr.. Geo. w. Ogden, one of the
wealthiest farmers in Fayette county, KY,
purchased Cashmere Goats of Mr.. Tully,
of this county, to the amount of $3.50, and
did not get half as many as he wanted.
He informed us that he was anxious to en-
gage in the goat enterprise for some years,
but has never been able to make pur-
chase before. He was very enthusiastic
in admiration of the goats, and intends
making an investment of several thousand
dollars more as soon as he can find the
goats to buy.

CURE FOR A FouNDERED HoRsE.-A cor
respondent of the Louisville Journal says
that if a horse is foundered over night he
may be cured in three hours if it is at
tended to in the morning. Take a pint
of hogs lard and heat it boiling hot, and
after cleaning well his hoof and taking
off his shoe, put his hoof in the lard,
and with a spoon apply it to all parts of
the hoof, as near the hair as possible
This, says he, he has tried more than fifty
years, and never knew it to fail. The
application should be to the foot Of each
fnnndered limb.
