Humorous INCIDENTAL laugh able inci~
dent occurred recently not many miles from
Danvlle, the circumstances of which are
related by the Daily Herald Of that village,
as follows:
An old gentleman farmer, who had two
handsome daughters, was so cautious of his
charge that he would not permit them to
keep the company of young men. However
they adopted the following expedient to en-
joy the company of their lovers: After the
old man had retired to rest, the girls would
hang sheet out of the window, and the
beaux would sieze hold Of it, and with the
assistance of his lady love, who tugged lus-
tlly above, would thus gain entrance. 1t
SO happened that one evening the girls hung
out the sheet too early, for the old gentle
man, by some ill-wind, was accidentally
round the corner, and spying the sheet,
could not conjecture the meaning Of its be-
ing there So he caught hold and endeav>
ored to pull it down; the girls, supposing it
to be one Of their fellows, began to hoist,
and did not discover the mistake until the
old mans head was level with the window
sill when oae of them exclained-sOh, my,
it's dad - and letting 60 the sheet, down
came the old gentleman on the ground, dis
locating one shoulder, which convinced him
that to make old maids of his daughters was
matter not so easily accomplished, and
Withdrawing all further opposition to their
keeping company, he was soon father-in-
law.

CaiifoFnia--itsC Climate and Pros
ducts.

Bishop Pierce, in his letter Of 10th Au-
gust says:
The climate is peculiar, but fine every
whore. 1t is variable according to the rela-
ton of any place to the sea and mountains.
The air pure, fresh, and current In San
francisco and in some Of the valleys. the
wind is often too strong and cold for COM
fort. The general temperature, however,
is balmy and delightful. There is vitali-
ty, an elasticity ia the atmosphere, which
braces and cheers, and enables one to per-
form more labor with less fatigue, than in
any region l have visited. With the ther-
mometer HOO III the shade, there is no las
stude. The nights are cool, and sleep a
luxury
[ shall not attempt description of the
country. Others have done it before me.
and yet scarce any one has true idea of it
except those who have seen it. 1t is very
unique in its physical features, wholly un-
like any other in this broad Union. The
Bible reader will be reminded perpetually Of
Palestine. Its mountains. valleys. climate,
productions all resemble the heritage of Is
rael. All fruits, except the tropical, grow
there in surprising luxuriance At the
State lsair at Sacramento, among other WON
ders, were hundred peaches which weigh
ed one hundred pounds. In size, ali vege-
tables and fruits exceed; but the most of them
thought inferior in flavor to our Eastern
products. The sole reason for this, think,
is in excessive irrigation. By the way, the
mode of irrigation is curiosity, singular
feature Of the country Wells arc dug and
bored, and by very simple machinery,
turned by wind-mills, the water is brought
up and conveyed by little branches of leaden
pipes with small jets, to the gardens and OIL
chards. Ihere is always breeze enough to
turn these circular fans, aud thus wind and
water work day and night, unwearied agents
in the service Of man.

THE HoRgoRs OF WAR.-A Narrative
of Events during the Invasion of Russia by
Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Retreat cf the
French army in 1872" by Gen. Sir Rob-
ert Wilson, shows that the army of Russia
numbered FIVE hundred and eighteen thou
sand. The invading army which Napole-
on led into Russia consisted of 400, goo
men. In regard to the burning of Moscow,
it is stated that of forty thousand houses in
stone, only two hundred escaped; of eight
thousand in wood, but f &c hundred; eight
hundred churches were consumed, and more
than twenty thousand persons burnt alive.
The historian, after rountng the horrors of
the winter retreat of Napoleon, speaks Of
the retaliative cruelties Of the Russians, who
buried their prisoners alive, or, stripping
them Of all their clothing, forced them to
march, sometimes in columns of seven or
eight hundred, over the hard diamond like
snow, and through the cutting wind, whilst
the savage peasant women ,on one occasion.
beat sixty naked victims over the head with
sticks, in accompaniment to national air,
whilst the sufferers necessarily cried for
death, Death, Death He describes, as
with a painters pencil, "the frozen circles
of dead men found sitting every morning
round the biyouac fires, the dogs crouching
over the dead bodies Of their masters and
bowling p.teously-the young, beautiful
French mother writhing in the snow, red
with her blood, clothed only with her long.
black shining hair, and frantically crying"
Amidst all this, not one complaint was heard
against the Emperor. Oh the army of in
vasion, about $4,000 returned, 125 900
persisted in combat; 1910, 900 we're captured;
100, 900 destroyed by cold, hunger and dis
ease-while As Generals and 5000 officers
remained prisoners.

IDREANaEED OF THEE.

Thy head was on my shoulder leaning,
Thy hand in mine was gently pressed,
Thine eyes, 80 soft and full of meaning,
Were bent on me and was bless.
No word was spoken, all was feeling,
The silent transport of the heart,
The tear that O er thy cheek was stealing,
Then told what words could ne'er impart,
And could this be but mere delusion :?
Could fancy all so real seem?
Are fancy's scenes but wild confusion,
And can it be did but dream
I'm sure felt thy forehead pressing,
E Thy very breath stole DER my cheek;
Pm sure l saw those eyes confesssng
What tongue could neyar, never speak.
All, no! It's gone, and never, never,
For me such Walking jcu may be;
But could sleep, would sleep forever,
Could the while thus dream Of thee.

This singular disease, which has thus
far seemed 10 batfle the skill OF our best
physicians, has become so prevalent and
has been so generally fatal, that any sug-
gestion in regard 10 its cure viii hardly
prove uninteresting Its causes are not
known, and therefore all treatment has
heretofore been merely experimental but
its pathognomonic symptoms are so diver
sihed and dIs>imilar, that in many in
stances the throat OF the patient closes
and he dies before his disease las been
discovered
The diaguostic by which it j. known
from other complaints OF the throat, is the
formation OF "a membrane which increases
gradually until the patient Is literally
strangled to death. 1t Is sometimes ac-
companied by liberation, and extreme
prostration of the entire system, and at
Others by neither of these symptoms. yet
i'll either case it is equally fatal. To arrest
the formation of this membrane would
therefore seem equivalent TO curing the
disease, and this may be done in the fol-
lowing manner:
In the early stages of the complaint,
which Is always accompanied by a sore
ness and swelling of the throat let the pa
tient use simple solution of salt and wa
lei' ~ d Sti-i'i every !Iiteen minutes AT
the same time moisten piece of flannel
with solution of the same kind made
warm as the patient can bear it, and bind
it around his throat. renewing it as often
as the gargle is administered, and in the
meanwhile sprinkiing fine salt between
the flannel aud the neck Use inwardly
some tonic or stimulant, either separately
or, if the prostration be great use both to-
ge,her The treatment. as may be seen. is
extremely simple. and if used in the earl-
er stages of the disease, will effect a COM
plete cure.-Cb,. Daiy Press, Sept -.

speculation, have suddenly awakened to a

bing has ruined them, and that they have
a hard chance before them Of obtaining
even livlihood To these and ten thou
