The following etory is told of the Rev. Mr.
Morse: At an association dinner a debate
arose as to the use of the rod in bringing up
children. The Doctor took the affirmative,
and his opponent was a young minister,
hose reputation for veracity was not very
high. He maintained that parents often do
harm to their children from unjust punish
ment, from not knowing the facts IN the case.
Why said he, "the only time my father
whipped me was for telling the truth
"Well," retorted the doctor, "it cured you of
it, didn't it ?"

CALIFORNIA SILK-Our readers will rccol-
lect that during the last Fair of the Mechan-
les Institute in this city, box of silk worm
cocoons were exhibited by Mr. Provost,
raised from eggs imported by Mr. Henry
Hentsch Of this city. a quantity of thcse
eocoons were forwarded to Paris, to the
house of ilentsch & Co, of that place, and 10y
them submitted to the most celebrated silk
worm raisers and manufacturers in Lyons
and Paris who have declared them to be the
very first quantity of cocoons. We find in
this result another very great inducement to
undertake the raising Of silk worms in Cali
tornia. 1t proof positive that our climate
is peculiarly suitable for the purpose, and
that the soil is exactly adapted to raising the
best qualities Of morus multcaulis upon which
the worm feeds.-S. f. Herald

SoNoRA.-Accounts from Sonora represent
that State as in a deplorable condition. A
correspondent of the Bulletin writing from
Hermosilo Nov. 10Th, says:
We have realized here the words Of HOLY
Writ: "And voice was heard in Ramab. la
mentation and woe Rachel mourning for her
children because they were not" The last
revolution in Sonora has passed over us like
a whirlwind, leaving in its track nothing bu,
ruin and desoalion, and the comparative
calm which exists is tne precursor of the
death -throe-the prostration which precedcs
dissolution Entire families have been swept
away, the hopes Of the agricalturest blighted
and mining operations paralyzed, the country
for hundreds Of miles is a waste, aud the ut
ter stagnation which prevails in every de-
partment of trade tar exceeds anything ever
known before in the gloomiest crisis Of the
State.
A correspondent of the Times writing from
lIermosillo Nov. 18th, says:
The defamation of the populace from the
ravages of war aud civil strife is truly fright
ful. The "reign Of terror" as tdeluged La
Belle France in the days of her Revolution,
is re-enacted here on smaller scale, but no
| less atrocious and cruel No one knows to-
day who is marked. not for the gullotine-
that instrument is not known or used in Mex
! leo but for the swift, destroying bullet or
long knife of tomorrow. The bosom of de-
struction is sweeping off the population as il
the arenging sword of the Almighty, the
chosen weapon of Gideon of Old, had pur-
posely been drawn to smite down the enc
mics of the human race.
This late outbreak in Sonora was caused
by number of men belonging to the Gam
dara party-a party long hostile to Pesqueira,
the present Governor. The Yaquis joined
them for the sake of plumber, and formed in
fact, the greater part Of their army, The in

zona are the same who are reported TO lie
negotiating in that territory for American
aid in men, arms and money, for the purpose
of again carrying war into Sonora At last
accounts, however, the Yaquis still kept the

correspondent Of the Butte Democrat re-

says occurred recently at the town Of Butte

IAN ass .ult was committed by a darkey
on the person of lady, resident of the said
town, for which offence Mr. darkey was duly
notified to answer before the constituted au
thorities. The lady of course appeared as
prosecuting witness in the case, when, strange
to behold. the husband of the lady, pronli-
nent Republican, appeared to defend the ne
gro against the assault committed on his own
wife The trial proceeded and Mr.. darkey
was mucted according to law; but failing to
pay the penalty, the bystanders who had
witnessed the disgusting and unnatural de-
tails of the trial and the beauties of practical
abolitionsn, raised subscription, paid the
fine, and eleyating Mr.. Republican on a rail,
with a coat of feathers to benutify his person,
gave him serious illustration of the delights
of over head. not ulder ground, railway trav-
