James Redpath describes in late number
of the Tribune, the personal appearance Of
Geffrard, the Republican President of Hayti.
The singular grace ofhis manner and speech
attracts attention. He appears perfectly
black in color, but with none of the African
features he has small feet, small hands and
the Caucasian type of figure and face, with
a temperament exceedingly nervous. Red
path adds, that in respect of features, as in
some other things, GefPrard is true repre-
sentative of his countrymen; for, however
we may account for the phenomena, it is a
fact thati in Hasti the African type is rapidly
disappearing.

A colony of San Franciscans, including
several families, has been for sometime set
tied at the mouth of Rogue river, in South
ern Oregon, where considerable business
in catching and sailing salmon is carried on,
and thriving village has sprung into exist
ence. Gold is found in the river about thirty
miles above, in remunerative quantities, and
the business of the young settlement is fur
ther increased by trade i'll hard wood, such
as maple. myrtle, ash and oak. These facts
are CLEANED from the Times, whose local COL
umns are richer in quotable items than those
of any other paper in the State.

Since Horace Greeley reached the Bay
City he has delivered an able address on the
thousand persons, a lecture before the Me-
chanics' Institute on Industry and the Me-
chanic Arts and one on Great Men, at the
American Theater-the latter for the benefit
of a free library society. Wherever he has
stopped in California he has dropped words
of wisest counsel, which even political pre-
judice listened to reverenty. May good
fruit spring up from the seed he has so in
dustriously sown.

Pacific RAILROAD CoxvENrfoN.-<The last
Legislature of this State thought it expedi-
ent to pass concurrent resolution, request
ing the people of the States of California and
Oregon, and of the Territories of Arizona
and Washington, to send delegates to Con-
vention to be held at San Francisco on the
10th of September next, for the purpose OF
considering the refusal of Congress to take
efficient measures for the construction OF
railroad from the Atlantic States to the Pa
cifc, and to adops measures whereby the
building of said road can be accomplished
The attention of the press is called to this
convention project at the present time by o
circular from the Secretary of State, who
recommends immediate action upon it, and
that the Sheriffs of the several counties in
the State notify the people to convene at tho
county seat of their respective counties, for
the purpose of appointing delegates to said
Convention, equal to the number of MEM
bers of the Legislature to which they are
entitled.
If the people choose to hold such Con-
vention, all right; we shall not oppose it.
1t can do no harm, nor can it, IN our opin-
ion, do any good. If Congress is ignorant
that we want the railroad, after so many
years of discussion and petition, it cannot
be enlightened by Conventions. No new
facts and ARGUMENTS can be presented for its
ediication, and no efficient measures con-
cocted that have not already been proposed.
Still, let the Convention be held if people
tunity for Buncombe speeches, and for the
employment of the Sacramento Unson's ad-
mirable corps of Photographic reporters.

A MOUNTAIN ORCHARD.-Nickerson gar
den and orchard, in the western part Of Pla-
Ger county, contain over 5000 peach trees
of 200 different kinds, 225 different varieties
of apples, l25 varieties of pears, 40 varie-
ties of plums, 5000 bearing grape vines
loaded with choice grapes, and 40, 900 root
ed cuttings. The Auburn Herald, from
which paper these facts are gathered, OBJ
serves that there are many favored spots
like Mr.. Nickerson's along the foot hills,
which in coming years will be cultivated in
vineyards and become as noted as some of
the famous grape districts of France.

DR.. A. S. Taylor of Monterey writes long
and interesting account of the cochineal in
sect to the Standard, endeavoring to prove
that it might be introduced and proftably
grown in California, where species of cac-
tus upon which the Doctor says the insect
feeds grows in abundance To him replies
one Thomas K. Munk, who says the Califor-
MIA cactus is not the kind upon which the
cochineal dye-bug feeds; that the same plant
tourishes in the Mexican State of Vera Cruz,
and that an attempt to grow cochineal there
was unsuccessful; from all which he con-
cludes it is very doubtful whether an enter
prise of the same kind would meet with bet
ter success in California.

The Placerville Observer is informed of q
cattle plague in the Humboldt Valley. Large
numbers of emigrant cattle are dying from a
disease of the lungs, occasioned by the in
halation of peculiar gnat or fly. These
insects are said to exist in incredible swarms
in that region, and fill the air about the
cattle so densely that the poor brutes cannot
breathe without inhaling them.

A lecturer at San Francisco lately con-

that "as woman pleased in whatever she did
it was but logically equitable that she should
do whatever she pleased"

SERIOUS AFFRAY.-Yesterday afternoon
party Of gentlemen met at the coffee-house Of
Theodore Petit, situated on the corner of Front
and Ludlow streets, and, after discussing the
merits of several bottles Of champagne, got
into melee, when Mr.. P. interfered for the
purpose Of restoring order, and accidentally
came in contact with Andy Sarver, who, think
ing he was assaulted, became very indignant,
and called Mr.. Petit - of a -, etc.
Friends interfered, and the parties were sepa-
rated, took drink, shook hands, and the mat
ter was considered settled
About an hour afterward, Mr.. Petit entered
the drinking saloon of Gum Stevens, on 6yca-
more street, near the National Theater, where
Sarver and party of friends were enjoying 4
drink, when Petit remarked to Sarver: "Yol
called me - of -; I want you to tax,

can be no doubt There is a signi6cancy
in the fact that the number of copies of a
standard work then deemed sufficient for
all Christendom, would not now. under
similar circumstances, be adequate to
supply the demand of single city in
what was then the wilds of America.
This modern want of intellectual food, or
at least of mental occupation, is evidence

plan for Pacification.

The New York Times advises the
South, as means to quiet political agi-
tation, not to attempt to put the Fugitive
Law in force, but to let the negroes go,
when they have been so lucky as to get
across the dividing line between the free
and tie slave States. This is certainly
most excellent counsel, and, when the
millennium arrives, will, no doubt, be
universally followed. The Times urges
that it is the efforts at capture, and the ju-
dicial proceedings incident to the same,
which awake the sympathies of North
ern people and keep alive feelings of ha-
tired upon both sides.
We are funny people-we of the
North-in our treatment of the colored
race. Docs q slave break loose from his
master, we are all alive with sympathy for
him, and hatred of the tyrant at his
heels, seeking to carry him back to stripes
and servitude. Once escaped, and set
tied among us, sympathy is at an end
and the hardships of the free State begin

cause of this wholesale act of tyrann
was an offense committed by one. TIL
truth is, where there is no especial exc

in the treatment of the negro upon eithe
side; and the Northern love for runaway
is, after all, rather an article gotten up fc
the occasion, than sentiment fixed

On Monday morning, the train on the Little
Miami Railroad due at 4:1O was detained by
collision with car loaded with hoop-poles,
which had been blown, as is said, by severe
storm through the switch from the side track
on to the main line, near West Jefferson. Both
locomotive and freight-car were much dam
aged. The question in this case is, did the
switch-man neglect to lock the switch? If so,
he ought to be made sensible of the Importance
of looking more carefully after his special voca-
tion
