CALIFoKNIANs AN EARNEST PEoPLE.-The
Pdcifc NetAoaist denies that Californians are
generally infdel to Christianity, as many
have asserted; they are too busy to be pious:
"Californians are earnest people, and upon
this element of their character we predicate
our most sanguine hopes with regard to their
religious future. Whatever they do, is done
with all their might. Whether engaged in
boring tunnels, washing down mountains,
huming gorges, canvassing for political hon
ors, building cities, or fighting one another,
they throw themselves into what they un-
dertake with all their souls and all their
strength Intensity is their distinguishing
characteristic. They surrender themselves
to the excitement of the hour with almost
Partisan abandon. Hydraulic mining, quartz,
city lots, ranching, politics, vigilance COM
mittees, Gold Lake and Frazer river have
each in their turn had their day. Religion
will have its day yet-and when that day
shall come most thrilling chapter will be
added to the history of Christianity"

MOUNTAIN TRAvEL.-The editor of the
Christian 4drocate thus alludes to travel in
the mountains Of California:
dixie all other human experiences, it has
its light and shady sides-its demands and
compensations. Your way is up and down
wet and dry; rough and smooth, hot and
cold; rockey and sandy. You can walk
or ride; get frightened or feel secure; get
thirsty and drink from Gods own brooks
and springs. You can look on mountains
wild and high, till the granduer of the scene
becomes oppressive. You may ride miles
beside one continuous cascade of leaping,
dashing waters, orlisten to the laundering
foaming food as it roars along the mountain
gorge. Sometimes your way is on the quiet
shady BOTTOMS, amid colonades of primeval
forests. One sentiment is created and gath
ers inspiration from all You hear and see
that you are moving amid the wonders and
majesties of the Almighty, and the emotion
of the grand gets dominion over you and
reigns supreme"

TEST OF BELIEF-Dr johnson could not
find the primary meaning nor the origin of
the word beliere. 1t was formed from the
Gothic Be-iifan, whichis something by which
a person lives. When man believes any
thing he adapts his life to it. Hence the great
significance of this word. When a man
processes to believe Christianity and fails to
conform his life to it, he thereby shows that
he does not beliye what he processes. There
are many such persons, to whom Plato's use
of the word opinion might be correctly ap-
piled. Plato said that s'opinion is the half
way house between ignorance and knowl-
edge" and great many opinions take their
final lounge in the dominion of ignorance.

SUIT AGAINST THE STATE PRIsoN LESSEE
The Telegram gives synopsis of the COM
plaint fled by the State in a salt commenced
in the Seventh District Court to recover pos
session by the State of the State Prison. In
it is set forth all the causes which in the
opinion of the plaintiff authorizes the prayer
to be granted. The most important of these
doubtless is the alleged unconstitutionality
of the act under which the contract was ex-
ecuted. Tive grounds of unconstitutionaii-
ty are assigned: lst. That it appropriates
more than 100000, and I'd. That the Leg
islature have exceeded their powers in leas-
ing out the contracts to private individuals,
thereby attempting to bind succeeding Leg
isiatures, and in leasing out convicts who
had not been convicted and sentenced.

The town of Lenox, Mass, has challenged
Stockbridge to meet her with row of trees
on the highway, each planting to the boun-

we have heard of for a long time-much
better than challenge to fight duel, race

promptly accepted. How beautiful the coun-
try would be with all its roads bordered with

THE AUsTRIANs.-They are neither barba-
rians nor slaves. There are no better bred
people in Europe Nowhere else are the se-
cial amenities better deyeloped-nowhere
else does the stranger receive more kind and
courteous treatment. At once affable and
sincere-with the honest heartiness of the
German, and the polished ease of the French
man, there is no better specimen of the
gentleman than the well-bred Austrian.
in no country of Europe, with the posi-
bile exception of northern and central France,
rs the physical condition of the common
people better In no other country in Eu-
rope does one see less poverty and squalor.
In no other country of Europe-hardly ex-
cepting Prussia-is the standard of popular
education so high. 1t is a rare thing to find
an Austrian peasant who cannot read and
write No one can receive a license to marry
unless he is able to subscribe his name with
his own hand to the certificate. Nowhere else
are more liberal provisions made for the sick
and the poor. Nowhere else are there more
magnificent schemes of public charity; are
there better hospitals and asyiums; are there
cheaper and more efficient schools. As in
France and Germany, the government takes
the matter of taking care of himself off the
hands of the subject 1t is his great bust
ness to be dutiful-not to worry himself
about the future. If he wants profession,
the government selects one for him; if he
gets sick, the doors of the hospital are open
to him. We should not like this sort of
perpetual tutelege; but it's the continental
fashion, and nobody does it more gracefully
than Austria

s CULTIVATION OF TIE OLIVE TREE IN CALI
FoRyIA.-The San francisco Bulletin of a
Tecent date had an ar ticle on ssThe Olive Tree
and its uses inCa,ifornia, containing good
deal of information regarding the cultivation,
uses and valae of the olive tree and its fruit
We learn from the article in question, that
the olive tree was planted in sCalifornia, in
the Mission gardens, some seyentyyears ago
Though of late years they have been much
neglected, and the fruit left torot upon the
ground, for want of industry TO gather it
and turn it to money account, the trees
still flourish, and in certain localities form
beautiful groves. 1t is estimated that there
are 10 600 Of these trees now growing in all
parts of the State, but principally in the
southern counties.
The olive tree is cultivated for its fruit, for
the oil which is expressed from it, and for
its wood, which is very hard, and useful for
cabinet and all kinds of carpentry work.
The olives are picked and preserved for table
use, possess medicinal properties which act
fayorably on the digestive organs, and are
highly esteemed throughout Southern Eu-
rope, where cultivation of the tree is pur-
sued as valuable branch of industry. The
oil is better than lard for cooking purposes,
and is superior for lighting, for machinery,
soap, tanning, for manufactures of all kinds,
for table use, and for medicinal purposes.
The Mediterranean trade flowing from the
olive crop is estimated at fifty millions of
dollars annually.
In no country does the tree flourish TO
greater perfection than in California. And
Judging from the facts presented, it is eyi
dent that the extensive cultivation OF olive
trees in this State may be turned to valuable
account. 1t is a hardy tree, long lived, and
of slow growth, and requires but little care.
As an instance of IFS long life, the writer in
the Bulletin mentions that there now exists
near Terni, in the vale of Marmora, a grove
of old olives, (supposed to be the same de-
.scribed by Pliny in the first century Of the
Christian era, more than nineteen centuries
of age.-.Sonora Herald
