Cor HIS CoAr OFF AT the discussion
between Kirkwood and Dodge, in Mills
county, Dodge got so crafty mad that he
pulled off his coat and challenged his opponent
to fight. Mr. Kirkwood pleasantly smiled
at the enthusiasm of the belligerent Ex-Span-
ish Minister, but didn't hurt him. When the
General pulls off his coat to fight, that can
scarcely be called portion of that uniform
courtesy" for which al Democratic cotemporary
says he is remarkable. We predict that
Dodge will never get through that list Of
Gazette.
We suggest that, if the General must fight
a la pugilist, he challenge the "Benicia Boy"
to set-to, to come off Immediately after the
result of the election in this State is known.
After the training he will then have received
at the hands of Kirkwood, he will be in excel
lent ''trim'' to come to the scratch without
dedging. We venture the assertion that ne
would become the champion of the P. 4. at
the first ro lid.

When the sunsets glow Is fading,
From the pale and distant west,
And the birds sweet song is diving,
As she seeks her lonely nest
When the evening star is shining,
In the quiet summers sky,
will think Of thee, dear sister,
will deem thy spirit nigh.
When the wintry winds are bowling,
Nightly DER the dreary plain,
And the moon beams, cold and cherries,
F!ttul pierce the cloudy train,
When our fayourite tree is mourning
To the blast that murmurs by,
| will think If thee, dear sister,
will deem thy spirit nigh.
When the autumn breeze is signing,
Softly DER the dying flowers,
Aud the forest leaves are changing,
Through the long and sober hours
When the lonely insects murmur,
To the winds their evening cry
will think of thee, dear sister,
will deem thy spirit nigh.
And when Gods bright angels bear me.
Far beyond the bounds Of time,
Aud our spirits meet and mingle,
In yon starry heights sublime
When in those fair realms Of glory,
Mid the rolling spheres on high,
May | meet thee, then, dear sister.
May kno,0 that thon art nigh.
