WHY THE TURKS REFUSE TO EAT PoRK.-Mat-
thew Paris, the most eminent historian du-
ring the thirteenth century, and one of the
most eminent during the whole of the mid
die ages, informed his countrymen that the
Mohammedans refused to eat pork on account
of singular circumstance which happened
to their Prophet. We find the story con-
densed from this veritable historian, in
.Shapes London Magazine.
1t appears that Mohammed, having, on one
occasion, gorged himself with food and drink
till he was in state of insensibility, fell
asleep on dunghill, and in this disgraceful
condition was discovered by litter of pigs.
The pigs, no doubt disgustcd by the specta-
cle attacked the fallen Prophet, and stifed
him to death; for which reason his followers
abominate pigs, and quite consistently, de-
cline to eat their flesh. This striking fact
satisfactorily explains one great popularity
of the Mahammedans; and another fact,
equally striking, is adduced to show how the
Mohammedan sect first came into existence;
for it was well known, says Matthew, that
Mohammed was originally Cardinal of the
Holy Catholic Church, and only became a

design of being elected Pope!

WEBsTER's DICTIoNARY-This work does
not receive unqualified endorsement from
the literary men of America. Not long ago
William Cullen Bryant pronounced against
it, for the reason that it had produced mex
tricable confusion in the photography of the
language; and now Morris & Willis Home
Journal de clares that WebSter's orthography
has been the stumbling block of the diction-
ary. through its whole history. On the
score of its vocabulary and its definitions,
the great American dictionary is considered
pre-eminent. Its peculiar orthography is
its radical defect. The Journal gives list
of words properly spelled with two rs, which
Webster spells with one; of words properly
spelled with onel which he spells with two !;
of words properly ending in re, which he
spells er; and of n few more miscellaneous
variations, amounting to seventy-two words,
to one hundred and forty in all. Such words
as were formerly spelled with final X, as
music, public, and words formerly ending in
our, instead of or, are not mentioned, for the
reason that these changes were not original
with Webster although claimed for him by
his friends, and have been universally adop-
ted by good writers in America. The Jour
nal says the "sum of the matter is, that for
the sake of doing some new thing, with
one hundred and sixty words, in dictionary
containing eighty thousand words, Webster
has managed to perplex and confuse the or
biography of our vernacular for, (past, pres
ent and future perhaps, three generations" )"
The Journal concludes by advising the pub
fishers of the dictionary to abolish altogether,
from the next edition, the Objectionable or
biography which has been mentioned.

CHEAP WHIsKEY FOR THE KANAKAs.-Under
this head the Alta California, alluding to
proposed reduction of the duty on liquors
imported into the Kanaka Kingdom, humane
lv hopes it will not be made, out of regard
to the welfare of the people. 1t seems they
cannot resist the temptation to indulge their
passion for strong drink, and the only method
to save them is to keep the liquor beyond
their reach as much as possible. No friend
of humanity can look over their history,
since the discovery of the Islands by Cook,
some eighty years ago, without horror at
the manner in which the barbarous Kanakas
have been scourged by the vices of the civil
lied white man. They have not been killed
by lead and steel, but by far more cruel
means. In four-fifths of century, the pop
ulation of the Islands has been reduced from
400. 900 to 10000, or at the rate of fifty per
cent. decrease every thirty-five years. Is
this rate of decrease not fast enough? Shall
we now give the poor Kanakas scrychnine
whiskey without stint to assist in killing them
off!

A MOUNTAIN LYCEUM.-At the mining viii
lage of Secret Diggings, Sierra county, there
is a Lyccum which puts to shame many of
the institutions bearing the same name which
arc more favorably located. Far in the
snowy mountains its members hold intelli-
gent meetings and edify one another by occa-
sional scientific lectures and literary Offer
incs. We have noticed these from time to
time in the columns of our able and interest,"
ing cotemporary the Mountain Messenger, pubs
lished at La Porte, and would have been
surprised by them but that we know how
much intelligent and active mind is dis
seminated through these mountain regions.
The latest lecture was on the formation and
peculiarities of gold-bearing countries, de-
livered by S. F. Walker. His unpretending
effort is marked by that pcrspicuous conden-
sation which indicates familiar acquaintance
with a topic, and while it advances no crude
theories is not lacking in originality, conveys
a very fair idea of the results of geological
research. and of the mineralogical peculiar
tiles of California.
The Secret Diggings Lyceum is a very
praiseworthy institution and should receive
extended notice. The fact of its existence
is more creditable to the State and better
worth mention, than the discovery of rich
diggings or the slaughter of whole tribe OF
Digger Indians.

L u C K.

The famous Russian Empress, Catherine
II. commences her autobiography, which has
been recently published, with the following
words:
"Fortune isnot so blind as is imagined.
She is frequently the consequence of we'll
chosen and well-ordered measures, not per-
ceived by the public, which have been the
forerunners of the event. She is in still
more marked degree, dependent upon natur-
al character and personal conduct"
We heartily believe this, not because the
iaperial autobiographer says it, but because
it has the sanction of reason and experience.
The popular doctrine of luck, which is moth
ing less than a species of fatalism, is very
pcrnicious doctrine and is pretty certain to
render unfortunate all who accept it as true,
1t does very well for such characters as the
great Napoleon, or even his nephew who now
occupies the French throne, to profess belief
in destiny and attibute their success to luck.
The tyrants and leaders of the human race
have ever affected to be the special agents of
fate or the commissioned prophets of Deity.
Such claims are part of the means by which
they accomplish their ends. They take pre-
cious fine care, however, not to trust all to
fate, or destiny, but to place their principal
reliance upon such carnal influences as they
know to be most potent. Wallenstein OBJ
served that providence, or luck, generally
favored the strongest battalions; and the
great Napoleon thought so too, not only by
plagiarizing the remark but by concentrating
his forces upon weak points in the enemy's
line 1t is just so in the little affairs of life.
The man whom gods and men fly to help is
the man who puts forth all his strength to
help himself This is almost truism, but
it cannot be too often repeated, and especial
ly in this country, where so many "unlucky"
fellows are mourning over lost chances with
no eyes for those which are infinitely occur
ring. Perhaps there are more disappointed
men in California than in any other country
of an equal population on the globe, and the
majority Of them attribute the failure of
their schemes to inevitable 'bad luck" This
is a spiteful fury that pursues then and can
not be avoided. Weary of her prosecutions,
they sit down amid their ruined hopes and
indulge in melancholy speculations. Up, ye
weary ones! Believe that you have made
some mistake and try again, with sturdy res
olution for your aid.
s.In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bvouac If life,
De not like dumb. driven cattle

CACHE CREEK-Cacheville is the seat Of
justice for Yolo county, twenty-five miles
from Sacramento, in direction nearly due
west 1t is as yet a town of no special preten-
sions except the fact above named. Cache
creek, on the bank of which the town is To-
Gated, is one of the finest streams IN the
State. Its source is Clear Lake, SOME eighty
miles west of this, Unlocked by the coast
range of mountains. The water Of this
creek is clear and pare, and at this point
even, is quite rapid. Singulafly enough, it
"sinks" in the tules before reaching the Sac
ramento river, though it rolls a large volume
of water past this point only some eight
miles from the Sacramento. A vast extent
of country is watered by this stream, and
the whole area is already occupied by an
enterprising population, engaged in stock
and grain growing. The lands on the banks
of the creek are very fertile, and produce
abundantly when the early and latter rains
are abundant. For some miles on either
side Of the creek, are forests, after the man.
ner of the oak openings of the West, only
the swells of those are wanting. The land
here is nearly level.-Christian Advocate
