ARTEsIAN WELLs.-That Artesian wells
exhaust the subsoil moisture in some shelly
ing localities dependent mostly upon rains
for supplies of water, is pretty clearly es-
tablished in this State, and Mr.. L. Provost,
of San Jose, when the evil is greatest, pro-
poses legislation to prevent wilful waste OF
the liquid treasure. He thinks every owner
of an artesian well in Santa Clara Valley
at the mouth of his well, and then only use
so much water as may be necessary for cul-
tivating the ground.

NEW SOCIETIES.

There is no end to the making of new So
'cieties, and especially of that kind which
proposes to effect the moral regeneration of
individuals or of communities. The general
work of reform, 'ohcecommitted to the sole
charge of the institutional church, Is now
taken in hand by numerous distinct organ
izations. little groups of men and women,
anxious to be useful or to be prominent,
and dissatisfied with the slow drift OF the
church-which now only follows instead of
leading the world=-strike out into the waters
of agitation alone, taking one of the cardi-
hal virtues as "a polar star, towards which
they steer with what power they may AS
sociation is the hobby of the age, and we
will not deny it to be the cause of much OF
the progress of the age; but in its arbitrary
machinery, its stiff or exclusive formula,
there is an influence that is unfriendly to in
dividual development, and so far an influence
'inimical to radical progress.
But our object here is only to give glance
at recent forms of association, not to make
it the topic of an essay. TO proceed then.
A Petaluma Clergyman has started new So
ciety called the '''California Youths Associ-
ation," whose members pledge themselves
to total abstinence from intoxicating beyer-
ages and tobacco. At Sacramento, an as
sociation exists which enjoys the high
g ;rht Of fba pao0rl "
and has for its object the promotion of good
morals, particularly amongst young men
none being admitted, we are told, who are
known to be immoral in their habits or pro-
fame in language. The objects of these
young "Knights' are excellent, but how can
they accomplish them by such righteous (?)
exclusiveness2 AtMichigan Bluff an anti
swearing society has been formed. Half a
dozen young men-who evidently think
there is more restraining influence in a pub
lie pledge than in Divine grace-resolved
that profanity was an abomnable, ungen-
tlemanly, unchrstian practice. from which
they would abstain and persuade others to
do likewise. The association now numbers
many ladies and gentlemen. 1t meets once
a week, and the Placer Courier humorously
says of it:
"Should any of the members during the
week hit their fingers with hammer while
driving a nail or should any of those who
are following the business of mining, slip up
and fall into the dump box, or their pickaxe
break, or the hydraulic pipe throw cold
water upon them, or i'll their under ground
labors they should strike their heads against
the roof of the tunnel, or strike their shins
against a wheelbarrow or peradventure
whilst occupied in their culinary affairs, the
mice and rats get into the flower sack and
the pismires get into the sugar bowl; should
the bread not rise, or the beans burn, or
anything else occur to cause one of the
members to swear a fer, by honestly con-
Tossing and stating the cause which led to
such nfraction of the pledge, they will be
pardoncd, and admonished by the President
to do so no more"

OpIUM-We are accustomed to forget the
drunkenness of our people, and visit upon
the Chinese opium chewers much virtuous
loathing. But Sir John Bowring, for many
years the English Governor of Hong Kong,
thinks opium chewing, which only Supplies,
far preferable to the use of intoxicating
beverages, which .maddens and leads to
crime. He says the proportion of deaths
amongst the drinking classes of Great Br-
tain is greater than amongst the opium
chewers of China. The use of the drug by
the Celestials has almost extirpated drunk
enness from amongst them, and has un-
doubtedly been a moral benefit to them
We cannot be seduced into the habitual use
of the dangerous opiate by THESE arguments,
if we admit their truth, but must rather
view with astonishment a people who were
so degraded that the substitution of a mar
cetic poison for an alcoholic one has led to
their moral improvements

INDIAN VALLEY.-This lovely summit vale,
situatedin Plumas county between American
and Honey Lake Valleys, is said'by CORES
pondent of the Mountain Messenger to contain
a population of from three to five hundred
persons, who are engaged in stock raising
and cultivation Of the soil. Wheat, hay and
potatoes are the chief products. There rs "a
saw-mill and grist-mill in the Valley, and
the Honey Lake people bring their wheat
here to'be ground. Early frosts sometimes
nip vegetation, and the farmers guard against
them by building fires about their ranches,
or upon the mountain sides, and impregna-
ting the air with smoke. A stranger would
consider the valley almost solitude, $50
seldom will be seen persons in groups or
heard the hum and buzz of human voices, Or
the din of active business pursuits The
'tirkle of cow bells, the lowing of herds in
themeadow, or the occasional discharge of
a gun bya solitary hunter, are about the
only sounds that break tile stiffness of the
scene"

BREAKwATER WANTED.-Our neighbours
on the upper coast are urging the necessity
of building breakwater at Crescent City,
in order to afford some protection to vessels
plying up and down the coast. II appears
that there is not good harbor, or safe an
chorage during the prevalence OF southeast
winds, which visit the coast during the
rainy season, between San Francisco and
Puget Sound, and hence vessels are left to
the mercy of the storms. 1t is alleged that
by building breakwater at Crescent City
safe retreat will be had, aud as it is nearly
central between the above mentioned points
it is very desirable that it should be DONE

CALIFORNIA REPREsENTATIoN.-Ala late num-
Der of the Alta had sensible article On the
population of our State, and the Importance
Of diStricting it, that we may show proper
representation in the Federal Congress. We
copy some remarks:
At the close of the taking of the seventh
census, in 1850, California possessed free
population of 80, 2,597-but little more than
the State of Delaware. With the present
population, and at its present ratio of in
crease, it will scarcely fail to reach 650,ooo
next year. With the present apportionment
of epresentation-which is one representa-
tive for every SO, ,453 habitants-California
would have six representatives., if not seven,
Instead of two, as now; while, with the
State properly districted, the community
will be much more likely to be fairly repre-
sented than under the present system o. se-
lecting two from the State at large. The
taking of the census, then, assumes an inn
portant phase in whatever light we may
view it. For the sake of justice, let US hope
that men may rise superior to all the narrow
sentiments of political intrigue, and eacA
use his endeavors to make it q benefit and a
blessing to the country, instead of mere
party perquisite to enrich a few party ser-
yitorS.

BUAxINe ELoQUENcE.-A cotemporary who
has evidently experienced show sharper than
a serpent's tooth it is to have thankless
friend" discourses on ingratitude, and thus
flares up:
"This produces a feeling as though the
most sensitive resources of the heart were
charged with a combustible liquid set on
fire, with direct tendency to the very
hearts core, which in appearance is being
consumed by the burning flames"
He means that ingratitude gives fellow
the heartburn, for which physicians recon-
mend magnesia.

THE SUN COMPARED TO Ps-Astronomers
calculate that the Illuminating power of the
suns rays is equal to that of thirty five hum
dred oc ciilions of candles at distance Of
ninety billions of miles. The amount of
light which flows from the solar orb could
scarcely be produced by the daily combus-
ton of two hundrel globes of tallow, each
equal to the earth in magnitude. The great
llluminator is thought to derive its light
from the magazine of ether disseminated
through space and ever ready to manifest
Its lucilerous properties on large spheres,
whose attraction renders it sufficiently dense
for the play of chemical affinity. A beauti-
Tul theory, that strikes us more than the
tallowdip comparison.

r5tE 4sATE OF THE CAUCASUS.

1t is thought that the capture OF Schamyf,
the celebrated chief, who since his youth mas
successfully warred against Russia, viii eHec-
tually admit Russian absorption to all OF the
famed country of Mount Caucasus, from which
sprung the Caucasian or white race OF the
human family. The tribes ofthis wonderful
country exhibit the noblest specimens OF
physical mankind, are bold, patriotic and
warlke in the extreme; their strongholds IN
the mountains are quite unapproachable to
invaders, and for period almost indefinite
these people have adroitly and terribly de-
Tended the narrow pathways to their homes,
and sailed forth from their steep and seclu-
ded places to astonish and defeat the bravest
of Russians and Turks. In the Crimean war,
Schamyl was constant and fearful annoy
ance to Russia, but temporary peace was
contracted on account of the fact that SON
of the cid chief was held kindly treated
prisoner in St. Petersburg, and had been
educated by authority of the Russian gov
ernment The Caucasians are taught to be
always prepared to defend their country ,and
to suffer any deprivation for the sacred rights
of home and in the solemn maintenance OF
the rites instituted by the sages and prophets.
1t is related of Schamyl that when driven
with his tribe to a spot where they were sur
rounded by foes, Ire decreed that whoever
should propose to surrender would be pun
ished with many lashes of whip upon the
naked body. Hunger and thirst began to
oppress the tribe, and the women, headed by
Schamyls aged mother, besought him to
surrender. He ordered her. arrest, and she
was condemned to meet the penalty prom
ised in his decree But when the affiiction
was about 10 take place, he appeared and
stated that having consulted the ruling DEL
ties, it had seemed to him that while the de-
cree was imperative, it was his duty to re-
lieve his mother by receiving the punishment
himself. Accordingly, he commanded the
torturing blows to fall, and he received them
without the slightest exhibition of pain. It
was through such stern, self-sacriicing and
inexorable conduct that he inspired his fol-
lowers with unchanging frmness; every
warrior felt that to Schamyl were given
prophetic powers, supernatural mysteries
and unconquerable qualities, awful and ado
rable. In removing Schamyl to st. Peters,
burg, the Russians have accomplished re-
markable event, and we hope that they will
be sufficiently magnanimous to not make the
bondage of the free born cheftain--one Of
the most remarkable ofmen-oppressive and
Neutrality-suspicious. Republican.

GotHERs- These pests of the farmer in
the lower part Of the State are thus referred
to by DR.. Gibbons:
"Our lands are infested by description
of squatters, who, by virtue of possessory
claims, have defed all process of ejectment,
and in some instances have succeeded ia
obtaining undisputed possession. | allude
to the gopher-a set of pests which give al
most as much trouble underground in regard
to land titles as lawyers do above ground.
There are large tracts of fertile land in the
country which cannot be rented on any
terms for this reason. In some localities
great numbers of them have lately been
found dead. The old Californians say that
they die off occasionally from excess of in
crease, and then for few years there is a
cessation of hostilities. The only extensive
and immediate remedy against them is by
drowning. Heavy rains drown them out in
fiat lands. Preparations have been made to
turn from its channel next winter, the Ala
media creek and mandate large tract of
soil now ruined by them.
Constant tilage, poisoning, shooting and
trapping, viii gradually destroy or drive
them off, bat not till after years of annoy
ance and loss"

A PRoPHEcY.-In 1915, Daniel Wooster,
in a speech delivered at Faneuil Hall, allad-
ing to the settlements On the Pacific, spoke
as follows:
II look forward to the period when they
will raise standard for themselyes-as they
ought to do-as not so far distant but that
many, many now present, and those not
among the youngest of us, will see Pacific
republican nation. There will exist at the
mouth of the Columbia, or more probably
farther south, great Pacific republic-a ma
tion where our children may go for a resi-
dence, separating themselves from this gov
ernment, and forming an integral part of
new government halfway between England
and China-too far remote from Europe
and from this side of the American continent
to be under the governmental influence OF
either Country"
Some journals have threatened to realize
this prediction if Congress does not hurry
along the railroad.
