REvERIEs NF MNER.-There is scarcely
bachelor in California who, toiling to amass
wealth, but has in his minds eye picture
of the future. In glowing colors he paints
home near that of his childhood. Sur
rounded by the comforts and luxuries of life,
he sees one fair form and long loved face, the
partner of his joys and sorrows; repeated in
miniature are those young elves 'that climb
about his knees the envied kiss to share"
Dwelling in the most salubrious climate on
the continent, and under the most magnifi-
cent of skies, surrounded by the prodigal
wealth Of nature in every form, he sighs for
distant home and future bliss. Then he
appreciates the distance that separates him
from home, speculates upon the probability
of the Pacific Railroad being built, to create
cheap and easy access between himself and
friends, or multiplying the last ''cleaning
up by time, bridges the distance by a span
of gold, over which he may walk at his
leisure.-PlacerUiNe Observer.

IMPORTANT DIsCovERY.-We see it announ-
ced in the Eastern papers that discovery
has been made in relation to the explosive
ness of steam boilers, which completely
overturnS the present theory in relation
thereto. Some man has proved conclusively
by practical tests, that the cause of explo-
sions does not result from allowing the wa
ter in the boiler to get low and then turning
on cold but that there is certain kind of
gas, which generates, and which alone is ex-
plosive in its character, and when the cold
water is suddenly admitted into the boiler
and the steam is low, this gas is increased so
rapidly that an explosion occurs Profting
by this discovery he has invented a conical
tube which partakes of the character of a
thermometer, or guage, and by this means
the gas can escape and thus all danger fan
explosion is done away with. Numerous
experiments have been made in the presence
of scientific men and they have all been
forced to admit its efficacy.-Register.

CAPT. SUTTER-CURIoUs CONSEQUENCES,
&c.-An interesting anecdote was told in a
French paper in 1851: In the guard of Chas.
K. was a Swiss officer named Sutter, who
not being able to maintain his rank after the
revolution, went to seek his fortune in Ameri-
ca-first in Oregon, then in California, where
thirty leagues of land were allotted to him
in the valley of the Sacramento, on the bor-
ders of the river Fourche-M. Sutter esta-
tabishing his residence on small hill,
where he built fort, and afterwards saw
mill. The channel for the wheel of this
mill proved to be too narrow; to save labor
he left the waterfall to work a passage for
itself The gravel and sand thus moved
about, overturned, and washed upon the
sides of the channel, exposing to view large
quantity of glittering particles fgold. Here
was an Eldorado discovered. Behold Sutter
and his companions scraping up the parti-
cles; neighbors and neighbors' neighbors
rushing to the spot; then strangers, Mexi-
cans, Texans, Lousianians, Pennsylyanians,
English, French, and even the immoveable
Chinese Hence, the most exciting questions
to agitate Europe; the depreciation of gold,
| the most unimaginable financial events pre-
pairing from one end of Europe to the other;
and all because NJ. Sutter could not preserve
his rank in the French army in $780,.

THE EARTH ALMoND.-This nut is asserted
to be valuable for fattening hogs, and has
recently been introduced into California
The nut, or root, as it may be more properly
called, is about the same size as the ordinary
almond, and, to the taste is very similar. only
little sweeter. When growing, the roots
spread in every direction, and although the
swine may extract the nut from the ground,
yet they cannot the roots, and hence a new
crop is continually coming forward. 1t is
said by those who fully understand the ma
ture OF the fruit, that it is far superior to
corn, and is much more economical, for fat
tening purposes.

A PIoUs SUGGESTION writer in the
Christian Adrocate, abiding to the fact that
company of German dancing girls had been
at North San Juan and French Corral and
had made sixteen dollars a night by dancing
with whoever wished for two bits, thus pious-
ly suggests:
"The charming Athenians = heathens
though they were, hired buffoons and clowns
to dance for them, if we remember rightly.
And that is about the best way Christians
can do the thing yet, if it must be done at all.
We quite admire the economic arrangements
of these Germans. 1t is much better to earn
sixteen dollars in dancing all night, than it
is to dance all night for nothing or, only for
sore calves and drowsey eyes the next day.
Happy idea! Only two bits a reel. Cheap
enoughP

A MODEL TowN.-Visalia, the county seat
of Tulare, must be delightful place for those
who love peace and quietness. A CORES
pondent of the Times thus alludes to it:
''They say that Visalia consumes more bad
whisky to the man than any other town in
California. There are twelve lawyers in the
place, and they wear revolvers in court
Recently the Board of Supervisors met, and
were so drunk that thay adjourned. Next
morning it was the same, and finally they
staid in town week before they were sober
enough to do the business of the county. All
these things, and many others equally hard,
are related upon the road and in the town

In search of thee. The winding wet ravine,
Luxuriant with golden flowers; the grot
Beneath the live oak. where small blossoms dot
The mossy rock, snd hunlming birds are seen
To fash and culver through the tremulous leaves
Of snowy bu, keye; and the mountain steep,

Forever through the branches of the pine;-
All helped to form thee, and thou still dost keep
Their charms before me, which blend with thine.

SONORA AND CHIHUAHUA.-Sonora is the
most northwestern OF the Mexican States,
having for its western boundary the Gulf of
California, and for its northern boundary
Arizona. Its area is 1913, ,467 square miles,
being about equal in extent to all New Eng
land, together with New York and New Jer-
Sey. Its population in 1854, was LAT, ,233-
just about equal to that of the State of Rhode
Island in 1850. This gives but little more
than one nhabtant to the square mile
Thus it will be seen that Sonora is the largest
and most thinly settled fthe Mexican States.
The climate is warm but agreeable, whilst
much of the soil is fertile 1t exhibits a
great variety of natural productions. It's
principal porti is Guaymas, situated on the
Gulf of California, at the mouth of small
river, in latitude % degrees north, which is
by some regarded as favorite terminus for
Pacific railroad.
chihuahua lies east of Sonora, occupying
a central position in the northern State of
Mexico. Area l0O,26O square miles, popu-
lation in 1850, l47,600; population to the
square mile l,52. The present population is
estimated at 900 to l6O, 900, with an ex-
ceedingly small percentage of the pure Cas-
tilian race. chihuahua is the watershed of
northern Mexico, and besides sending streams
to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, has several
running into its lakes Much Of the country
is elevated, with delightful climate. The
principal productions are corn, wheat, beans,
peas, red pepper peaches, onions; and in
less elevated regions figs, pomgranates, mel
ons, grapes, etc. The grapes are of very
fine quality, from which 600 barrels of brandy
are annually made for export. But the rails
ing of stock is more important than agricul-
ture, as the country, on the whole, is adapted
to it. Mining is also extensively followed
in chihuahua, the annual average amount
of silver and gold produced being estimated
at 81 OBJ, Psi, besides considerable guam
tity smuggled out of the country. There is
a well managed mint at chihuahua, the
capital, which has a population of $4,000.
The combined area of these two States is
almost equal to that of the State of Texas,
and their combined population is nearly one
third larger than was that of Texas in 1850.

Equal JUsTICE.-So far we have purposely
abstained from saying anything about the
all-absorbing Sickles affair, the very name of
which we hate, but can no longer conceal
righteous Indignation that all the scorn, and
contumely, and shame should be heaped up
on the poor, weak woman, while all the
sympathy, and palliation and forgiveness are
for the guilty man. There is anabominable
injustice about the whole affair which grew
naturally enough out of the popular error
that unchastity in woman is an unpardona-
BILE sin, in man venial error. To make
the matter worse, we see woman joining in
the vulgar hue and cry against her fallen
sister, and scarce hear one feminine voice
raised to plead for mercy or for charity Let
them read whats noble preacher says:
ave should pity fallen woman. Not
merely for herself personally should we be
lifted above all protiigate scorn and fiendish
contempt in the treatment of this subject,
but for the humanity that in her is stained
and perverted; for the type of pure woman
hood that lies dishevelled and cast down I'M
der the light of heaven and before God.
The fact of common weakness should at
least make us merciful. 1t is not Just that
upon the woman alone should fall the words
of shame. There is neither justice, honor
nor delicacy in our modern custom, which
scarcely frowns upon the guilty man, while
pouring out all the vials of wrath upon the
guilty woman. 1t may or may not be true,
as some insist, that this foul cancer in socie-
ty can never be eradicated; but we ought at
least to insist upon it that the shame shall
be fairly divided, that the SHINING man shall
be branded as deeply as the SHINING woman.
Suppose every guilty man bore the mark of
shame in his face, in the market, or at church,
how long would the evil continue? But the
meanncss of man has thrust the whole shame
upon woman"
