! TIE Snow BIRDs.-Who does not feel friendly
to the merry little snow birds that hop about
under lis window, or over the projecting roof
poles of his cabin They are the Mother Carey s
Chickens" of mountain storms, rejoicing in the
wide desolateness and inhospitality from which
all other birds have flown. Their presence de-
cares that the hand which upholds the helpless
sparrow, strengthens their little wings in conflict
with sleet and snow, and directs them to garners
where they chatter joyously over their tiny meal
The reed, shaken by swift t-drven Winds affords
them perch and, perhaps, dinner. Saucy little
hibernals, they disdain our prOfIers Of intimate
friendship; they give us to understand that they
want none of our charity. How they dine, or
where they sleep is none of our business; they
trust our sincerity no more than they rely on the
friendly intentions of the cat, whose stratagetic
movements behind the wood pile are fully com
pretended by the snow birds. Pnss returns from
the chase much disgusted and discouraged and
soon forPets her illsuccess in a doze on a stool
behind the stove. The gay snow-larks are off
over the drifts, making merry at her futile STRAIT
egy.
Away little stOrm-boding heralds, to your
northern snow-ields? We would not have you
come again.

The Gold Hunter.
BY q. 7. SPRoAT.

His wife stood weeping at the door,
His mother in the hall
His children climbed around his knee,
For he must kiss them all.
The tears were trickling down his check,
Like drops of summer rain;
lie left his childhood's home that day
lie never came again.
His father took him by the hand
lie tried, but could not speak
lie turned aside his face, to hide
The tear upon his cheek.
lie sprang upon his prancing steed,
And seizing whip and rein,
lie plunged him down the garden path
lie never came again
Spring with her roses came and went,
The Summer flowers grew pale,
And Autumn with her golden tints
Had painted hill and dale.
The Winter came with freezing storm,
OF snow, and sleet, and rain
But he came not to meet them there -
lie never came again.

SUGGESTIONS TO REPREsENTATIvEs.-Itis is proper
that suggestions to Representatives, making
known local requirements, should be made
through the local press, and for this purpose our
columns are at the service of any citizen who
may choose to write intelligently, The custom
is, we believe, to instruct Senators and Represcn-
tativcs by private letter; this is done by incres-
ted parties and it is wrong; opportunity is not
given to the public to judge of the wisdom and
utility of the measure before it is consummated
there is no chance for demonstrating argument
no real expression of opinon-nothing but the
views of one or two persons, If we were a mem
Der of either House, such suggestions would not
have great weight, when made by persons per-
sonally interested in operations of the proposed
law. The fault lies with the people, resulting
from improper Indifference.
There are enough to find fault with Repre-
sentative after his term of service is complete;
he has done nothing right, they say. But why
didn't they instruct him in time while he had
power to modify or improve! There are many
matters now requiring expression of opinion; for
instance, equalization of official rccompense; the
manner of collecting taXes propriety of donating
mineral lands to occupants; economy of attach
ment law; revision of Homestead act, and so
following Let intelligent persons think, write
and publish; then if Representatives err in ex-
pressing the will of the people, they, alone, will
be to blame. Too much should not he required
of an editor; he cannot understand every thing
so well as individuals practically acquainted with
particular subjects. A lawyer should be better
acquainted with inperfections of statute, than
person who does not study it professionally; a
miner should eXperimentaly know more of what
protection miners require, and every vocation has
intelligence enough to vigorously represent its
requirements.
If citizens will reflect on these suggestions
they will discover how much interest they arc
capable of adding to their local paper, and how
much they can contribute to aid representative
in useful and popular action.

DEsrrnATB LITTIENEss or SMALL PoLTIcTANs
"A political dabbler has offered q legislative
proposition to deprive the Governor of appointing
power. The sole purpose is to destroy Mr.. Wei
ler's chances of election to the United States
Senate. This is an Illustration of political small
work. and shows how miserably duped people
have been in sending partisan lackey to repre-
sent their local interests. The Democratic party
will hardly endorse proposition meant to cripple
a faithful officer. We do not know that Gov.
Weller expects that preferment but we do know
that he is infinitely moro deserving and capable
than either of the persons now remarked for being
in that place lie has honored the party who
elected him, and thus far has, in every respect,
been most exemplary, independently thinking
and justly deciding executive.
Would these small fellows induce the Demo
cratic party to dshonor and insult him by sane
tioning extraordinary legislative action VIII
the party prematurely immediate n popular and
able statesman, to make room for an incumbent
notoriously unpopular, or for the aged sucklings
that have ever hung in useless stupor to the

ATMosPnERICAL PHENoMEYA--TnE Snow
Snow is the vapor upheld in clouds, freezing in
its descent An intensely cold current of air

current, occasions the precipitation of the snow
In the arctic regions snow has been seen to form
and fall in houses when cold current was nd
mitted to a room filled with warm vapor; the phe-
nomcnon was observed in st. Petersburg, when n
window pane happened to be broken, admitting
cold air to an assembly room-snow Immediate

evaporation supplies moisture for fogs and frosts
and produces the "rme-frost" discovered on the

SMALL ERRORS or GREAT MND.-Tho Sonora
HeraId is unnecessarily and improperly severe
on contemporaries who refuse to approve Pixley's
bill to donate title to mining claims and then tar
tho miner for an Improbable donation. Know
ing no other person capable of clearly demon
strating what it would profit the miner to have a
clear title by donation, for which he is required
to donate divers monies, we shall be glad to be
instructed by the editor of tho Heraid, whom we
hold in much estimation. We are persuaded that
the Pixley donation bill is but the sugar and mo-
lasses bribery by which the baby is induced to

THE JEW Boy AND THE PoPE.-There is now
remarkable controversy before the world-a
struggle between MOrtara Levi and the Pope

ite confronting the master of kings and umpire
of empires The principle of religious liberty
has been marvellously progressive once the
thunders of the Vatican shook the earth now
the Pontif, listening from his palatial residence,
apprehensively hears the threatening tumult of
nations, without. Even the jew, with the dust
from Christian and In6del sandals on his robe,
rises from among his broken vessels Of sacrifice
and from the furrow which the Roman plowman
drew across the Holy Of Holes, aud stands at
the throne of spiritual empire under an upIifted
pontifcial arm trembling with the most curseful
anathema, and demands publication from the
polutions of christian baptism.
