CB-A letter from simoda, in the Philadel

Us A letter from Simoda, in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, says:
Speaking of the stores of Jeddo, Mr. Har-
ris observed that we would be surprised at
their size, at their contents, and at their great
number Of statesmen, each of whom had his
dozen or more shop boys standing behind
him to execute his orders Upon entering the
immense building you see no goods at all, he
said. They are stored in fireproof build
ings in the rear. When customer enters
and asks for anything, the salesman orders
the shop boys, the shop boys apply at the
fireproof, the keeper of the fireproof checks
against each one that which he takes, the
salesman makes his SALE each shop boy re-
turns to the freproof his part of what re-
mains, and at night the salesman accounts to
his employer for the difference Thus is
business conducted in the large houses of
Japan"

HE Is WITH THEM.-A Washington CORES
pOndent of the Ohio journal writes as fol
low:
Douglas is, of course, the theme of univer.
sal discussion since he has arrived in Wash
angton. 1t very evident that he has not
much strength here at this time The Presi-
dent and his whole army of office-holders
are against him, and in Congress he has not
dozen supporters. do not wonder that he
prefers to be among the people where all the
strength he has lies. For ii is useless to de-
ny to Mr.. Douglas a strong position among
the masses of the Democratic party in the
north and west The Administration poiti.
clans in Washington underestimate his
strength, because they only see him to be an
outlaw here. But James Buchanan will pass
away like Pierce and will be remembered
only to be hated

The grent popularity of Hostetter,s

The great popularity of HOsfetter's
Stomach b tiers, prepared by the eminent physician
DR.. j. Hostetter, Is unbounded. Daily does he re-

medicine Is increasing, and extending its sphere of
usefulness among suffering humanity. For removing
all morbid matter from the stomach, regulating the
bowels, strengthening the entire body, and mparting
vgor and tone TO tle entire human system, it cannot
be equaled. We would recommend Rl! 20 Immediate

DYING.-Benjamin F. Taylor. of the Chi
cago Journal, makes the following beautiful
picture:
There is a dignity about that going away
alone, we call dying-that wrapping the
mantle of Immortality about us that putting
aside with pale hand the azure curtains that
are drawn around this cradle of a world; that
Venturing away from home for the first time in
our lives; for we are not dead-there is
nothing dead to speak Of, and we only 90 of

STATUE OF CALIFoRNIA.-The S. F. National

cock, of San Francisco:
ROME, Italy, Dec 24, 1858.
c. If. Hitchcock M d., San Francisco.
My DEAR DooToR Last month spent
sometime in Florence, and visited the studio
of the great American sculptor, Powers. The
statue of California had Just been completed
and forwarded to New York. The second
will soon be finished for the Government at
Washington and, as by the terms of the con.
tract, only three can ever be made, he is de-
sirous that the third shall be possessed by the
State of California, or by the city of San
Francisco. 1t represents California as the
most attractive thing in nature, beautiful
woman in a state of nudity, she is nearly
erect leaning on a boulder Of quartz In her
right hand she holds a divining rod, q in her
left, slightly concealed behind her back, a
handful of thorns. The material is of white
marble from Carrara, and without spot or
blemish. The contract price is el5OO. Will
not some effort be made in California to OBJ
tain this noble work for the State, before it
passes into some private collection.
Truly your friend, RoBr. X. REID.

CATTLE STEALING IN SAN Joaquin County.
The Grand Jury of San Joaquin have made
a report in which they say, that ''in their
opinion. n large number of the cases of grand
larceny in the county arise from a custom
that should be discontinued, of butchers pur-
chasing or receiving cattle to be slaughtered
from irresponsible persons, these frequently
strangers or persons of the Spanish or Mexi-
can race, and taking no note of the mark
or brand upon the hide. The Grand jury
would call the attention of the Legislature to
this subject and trust that some check or re-
straint will be put upon such indiscriminate
traffic As it is now practiced, it is nothing
more nor less than bid for crime and for
continuation Of the evils complained Of"

protested afterwards that she had bought
them from Isaacs 1t was shown by several
witnesses that she had really stolen the prop
erty notwithstanding the fact that she most

ration of the fact that she had children, one

END OF THE ABORTION CAsE.-At half past
seven o'clock, last evening Judge Coon's
Court announced a session for the trial of the
case of alleged abortion upon Susan V. Eas.
terbrook. The court room was crowded,
showing that considerable interest was felt in
the final issue of the case
The only witness examined was DIR. Whit
ney, whose testimony elected nothing new.
Mr. Campbell here announced to the Court
that he had consulted with Mr.. Sheppard,
the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, and they
had agreed that the prosecution against Dr.
Rowell had failed, and he therefore moved
for discontinuance of the case.
Dr. Rowell's counsel objected But one
side of the story had been heard. They
wished an opportunity to show the conspira-
cy against their client in all its phases
They particularly desired to show the char
acter of the testimony of the "woman of 252
Clay street" Mrs. Phillips, in its true light.
The Court thought it was entirely unne-
cessary. There was not a particle of eyi,
dence upon which an opinion adverse to DR..
Rowell could by any possibility be based.
Privilege was asked and granted by the
Court, and Dr. Rowell made a very clear
and satisfactory statement in regard to the
entire matter charged against him. His expo.
sition of the case explained the whole conspi-
racy against him. as he stated, by Mrs. Phil
lips and her man Wentworth. The prosecu-
ton was for the purpose of levying black
mail upon him, and he felt it due not only
to himself but to the medical fraternity, to
have the matter sifted to the very founda-
ton. For himself, he said, he had nothing
to fear from the beginning he was only
mortified at seeing his name paraded in the
public prints from day to day, charged with
such an otfense He was rejoiced that his
case had been placed in the hands of one who
was a read physician, and one capable of un-
derstanding the snares that are sometimes
laid by the designing for pecuniary and ma
licious purposes
He asked for charity toward the young
girl who was the victim of a malicious sisters
hate. He explained, to the entire satisfac-
ton of the Court and all present, that Susan
had never had any operation of any kind
whatever performed on her; from the nature
of things it was physical impossbility. She
was young, and ignorant in those matters
and had been almost made to believe that
such was the case. There was no founda
ton whatever for the allegation that an
abortion had been produced.
The conclusion of the Doctors remarks
were received with demonstrations of ap
proval, which were promptly checked by the
Court Judge Coon then discharged the de-
fendant.-S. +. Telegram, Wednesday.

INDIAN sERvATIoNs.-Except complaints
concerning the malpractice Of the Agents
having charge of Indian Reservations which
sometimes reach the newspapers, little is
really known by the people as to how those
establishments are conducted. We learned a
little on the subject recently, in conversation
with gentleman returned from the south
ern counties of the State, who had been trav-
cling on business in that quarter He says
that, though the intention of the Government
in establishing reservations is to provide for
the welfare of the Indians and to make them
self-supporting, by inculcating industrious
habits, they have of late been greatly neg
lected, and their wants been scantiy sup
piled. For instance, under Lieut.. Beale the
Teion Reservation had become we'll cult
waited farm now it has fallen into neglect.
Our informant heard gentleman at the
South, who has occupied an official position
in the army, charge that Henley had divided
blankets in two, and given each half to sin
gle Indian for winter covering. We are
sure that no such economy as this is counten-
anced by the Government. On the whole,
the opinion obtains generally that Henley
has been feathering his own nest at the ex-
pense of the Government, instead of carry
ing out its humane policy regarding the In
dians.-Sonord Herald
