The CHILD VISITOR The following pretty in
cident, with accompanying advice to parents,
is from the last number of the San Francisco
Home Journal:
One day as we sat lisless and lonely, there
came gentle rap on the lower panel Of the door.
We opened it to chubby, rosy little girl who
had numbered perhaps, four summers, The child
looked tmdly up in our face ; and reading there
welcome, walked past us into the room and
prettiy protiered some childish request then
smoothed out her little apron, folded her hands,
and waited for reply, looking as Gemurc as an
infant quakeress. After OBTAINING her for short
time, and elicting from her IA few prattling SEN
tences by which we learned the name and paren-
tage of the little estray, we said to her, \ on
are little lady A bright smile played over
the child's features, and drawing herself up
proudly she said, with an emphasis that told of
the value she placed upon the approval, " NJ
ma says | an q little i0Gy y then went away,
leaving Us again with thoughts for companions
From chaos OF recollectiOns arose memories OF
little ones of whom we could tell who have
grown to maturity with spirits dwarlod of
strength and blanchcd of their beauty until they
as little resemble what they would have been If
reared in kiudlicr manner, as delicate plants
raised at the north side OF wall resemble those
OF the same family reared where the sunbeams
are garnered to perfect their beauty. The bit
terest tears tnat are ever shed we believe to be
those Of little children who have eXertcd them
selves to please and failed to do so, or to as
certain the fact if they have succeeded There
are parents who lacking in no point Of natural
affection, in nothing perhaps except ability to
remember their own infantile wants, allow their
children to become perfect sarVelings for want
OF expressions Of generous approval and then
wonder at their sad faces or blame them for
pcevishnesS caused 10y an undercurrent of grief
which they cannot express, or dare not if they
can. Depend upon it there is no stronger motive
for good conduct in little folks, or big ones
either, than an assurance of being throughly APP
preciated, which can in no other way BE- so read
lily conveyed as by timely, delicate, and liberal
praise Whenever it is deserved. Think of it, ye
who have CHI ldren clustering around you, look
ing upward morning, noon, and night for loving
smiles, and do not stint the sunlight that they so
n0ch prize. Let it beam kindly on them, and
new beauties will be unfolded daily by the
genial rays Of home affection

GETTING Ills DEsERrs.-The Shasta Courier
wades into a resident of Pitt River valley, named
Lount most numerically. This man Lount has
been writing exaggerated accounts Of the mur-
der of Indians in Pitt River valley to the .4ifa.
His spleen is directed against the volunteer com
pany under Mcllroy, to revenge the death Of the
latters brother, and several other citizens mur-
dered by the tribe. The fellow is attempting TO
defeat the bill for the payment of the Kibbe
volunteers, by falsely representing that the vol
unteer company was part Of Gen. Kibbe's
command. The Courier says Lount is sqnaw
man. that his Digger companion was sent to the
Reservation, at which he is disconsolate, and
writes lying letters to newspapers.

in the provisions of an " 1ct concerding Hogs

Sacramento, san Francisco, 1iameda, Staaisl4,ls,

several amendments, both by Senate and Assem-

signature Of the Governor.

TIE PREss or OREGoN.-The Sacramento Bee
thinks the papers of Oregon bye-word and re
proach to the nation, and the most scurrous
published anywhere. For example, the editor OF
the 0regOni7i not long ago called the editor Of
the Advettser "a liar, thick-skulled bog trot-
ter, an ddle-braned fool II that is not sniff
ed opinion of the Statesman editor Ambitious
man, unleeling tyrant, slanderer, coward, migrate
selI-constituted autocrat soulless wretch,0 There
must be something peculiar about Oregon eli
mate which causes editors to be more bitterly
personal and greater blackguards than in any
other State in the Union.

Away WITH rnE CRApLEs.-An article in the

vice to mothers:
"Ncver put child into those defesitjle Min2s

free it from all the pains and ills which will most
certainly rock into il. Rocking produces partial
congestion Of the BRAIN causing dizziness, such
as you may experience by turning upon one foot
rapidly for minute, and it Is very like unto the
effects of liquor upon the brain of a drunken
man. This congestion causes a stupor, aud the
child lies still but oh don't call it steep, that
bala and street resforer, It's more nearly deah it
is the sleep of a drunkard, or an apopectic or Of
iaintncss; It's disease produced by over excite
ment over stimulation Of the brain.

A TRINIry COUNTY LADY VISITS HARRY MEIGs.
The Bangor mig of late date relates the
following "By the last steamer from Califor-
mia, young lady who went from Bangor six or
eight years ago, returned. When the great de-
aulting banker Meigs ran away from san
Francisco he had in his possession about S 200
of this lady's money He went to South Amcri
ca, as is well known When the lady got ready
to come home, she proceeded first to the South
American port where MeigS landed. but found
he was residing three hundred miles up the coun-
try. Nothing daunted, she started oil with
determined pluck, found her man, recovered
$500 OF the money and proceeded on her voyage
home.N
There is little doubt but that the lady referred
to is " Aunt julia Spaulding, formerly resi-
dent of Lewiston, in this county. The above
detailed circumstances warrant that conclusion,
as " Aunt Julia LEFT here about a year ago, on
precisely such a mission. We have been Informed
by Lewiston gentleman, however, that she re-
ceived the whole amount due, with interest, and
that after visiting her New England friends she
intends to return TO this country to live.

The HOMESTEAD LAW AND TUE MlNERs.-The
editor Of the Tuolumne Courier writes very SEN
sibly in regard to miners homesteads, and en-
deavors to show that under the existing policy
the miner has no permanent interest in the coun-
try, that "he pays no taxes, roves about at
pleasure, votes away other folks property and
the money raised by taxes on other peoples es-
tates, and rcvels in the consequent inevitable
ruin which such a course must entail on eommu-
mites and individuals There is but one remedy
for all this and that is to make certain all titles
to land. The miner then would have as much
interest in the we'll being of the State as any one
else where he made his pile he would make
his home, and here establish his homestead aud
bis family. He would bear his equal burdens
with bis fcloN-citizens, and would work harmo-
niously with them in elevating the character and
the standing Of California among the sister States
Of the Union"

MAYNARD is very busy, and asks me to
post up the Nonpareil assain. There has
been no especial interest in tbs procesa'pgs,
since Inst wrote. This has becc bosy
day, however, for members have voted
themselves the Iowa Reports, and lest tbs
vote should be reconsidered, have secured
the. "stcalings" whilst they could. These
books belong to the State anyhow, and they
might as we'll appropriate them as anybody,
suppose. But two or three members vo-
ted against the resolution on the subject.
A great many bills have been introduced,
and quite number passed the house in
which they originated. Some few have be-
come laws. The committees are very busy,
and, on the whole, the Legislature may be
said to be hard at work. believe great
deal of valuable legislation will be done.
A bill passed the House yesterday, taking
away the penalty of twenty five per cent.
interest now charged by the law against de-
linquent tax. payers, but it was reconsidered
this morning. 1t was good measure, as it
passed. If the Legislature will pass law
requiring 10 per cent. on delinquencies on
the tax Of 1858, and the years previously
thereat, requiring the laws of 80 to be
promptly paid under a penalty that the pro-
perty shall be sold after six months delay,
and abolish the usnry clause in the law, |
think the people would be satisfied, and the
government promptly sustained.
The House will 20 into committee of the
whole on Gov. KIRKwooD's Inaugural, to-
morrow, and rich time may be expected,
bit cannot wait for it.
