A FEMININE CRrcHros IN NEVADA CousrY.

A FEMININE CREIGHTON IN NEVADA COUNTY.
"A gentleman of San Francisco was OBJ
liged, by his business relations, to make a
tour through number of our inland coun-
ties, and during his peregrinations called
upon gentleman residing ia Nevada county
He was received by the gentleman and his
wife with courtly hospitality and polished
urbanity, in perfect keeping with the per-
sonal grace and elegance of the fair hostess
In the course of conversation the visitor
asked his host whether the country in the
neighborhood did not abound with game,
and was answered in the affirmative by the
lady, who said that she would give him a
proof of the fact, and Immediately taking
down beautiful fowling piece proceeded to
equip herself with ammunition, game-bag,
and the other requisites for the chase
Having completed her arrangements, the
lady sailed into the fields, and in the course
of an hour returned with half dozen fine
quails, two large hares and a number of
plovers; her face radiant with health and
glowing from the exercise. Excusing her.
self, the lady then went into the kitchen,
and in due course of time prepared repast
fit for Apicius which was partaken of with
great zest by all present, the lady doing the
honors of the house with unsurpassed ease
and courtliness, having previously performed
her toilet and arrayed herself in charming
costume.
During the evening, some neighbors were
added to the circle, and conversation as
sumed lively and general tone, and our
visitor was delighted, as well as astonished,
to find his fair hostess fluent in the French,
Spanish and Italian languages; highly ac-
complished in music, painting, botany and
chemistry; well read in the various branches
of solid learning; brilliant pianist and
harpist, and in all other respects one of the
most fascinating and accomplished of her
sex. This is truthful, though faint sketch
of our California lady, There are many
such in our State, of whom we feel justly
proud.-S f Herald

Doc TEAM California Expressmen, says
the Marysville Appeal, beat the world in dis
play of enterprise and perseverance, Burk
Whiting, who runs the Express between Ma
rysville and the American Valley, employs
dogs in transmitting letters, packages and
passengers over the snow between the Noun
tain House and the American Valley He
works FIVE of the sagacious beasts, and has
them harnessed to sled, upon which be-
sides himself as driver, he frequently takes
a load of seven or eight hundred pounds :
Last winter, his dogs hauled through lady
passenger from the Mountain House to Mead
ow Valley. One of his dogs, SHARK" has
been in the express business for some four
winters. This not only instances the daring
and energy of our Mountain Expressmen,
but is another proof of the value and sa-
gacity of mans best friend in the brute cre-
alton.

The FORMATION OF New COUNTIES The
San Joaquin Republican proposes the adop-
ton of general law, under which majori-
ties of people in districts could decide
whether they will have additional counties
This is deemed the only proper mode of pro-
cedure; let the people decide by election
and Iet those who are interested in adding
to the burden of taxation, through PROPOSE
tions to divide counties, pay the expenses
of their propositions In most instances
propositions for the formation of new coun
ties originate with set of hungry place
hunters, who pay no taxes and are too in
dolent or proud to work. Adopt the course
suggested and it would defeat their aims and
remove the cause of much needless and ex-
pensive legislation.

New AND USEFUL INvENTfoN.--The Telegram
thus describes new invention, by Mr.. Peck,
the inventor of the harvester and reaper. 1t
is called 'Peck's Patent Stock and Mining
Pump" and is so arranged hat animals, by
stepping on a platform leading to the trough,
will pump the water necessary for them to
drink-the pressure on the platform acting
as a lever on the pump, and winding up a
weight which sets the machine again as soon
as the animal leaves. 1t can also be applied
to any kind of pump, and wound up so as
to run twelve hours, in which time small
pump say with quarter inch pipe-will
throw more water than is required for use
in family.

Duck shooting, says the Delta, is favo-
rite amusement with the gentlemen of Visa
liza. The oak woods and swamps are liter
ally filled with ducks. In mile from town,
a good shot can kill as many ducks as he
can carry, in an hour or so. We are told
that at the Lake, there are plenty of ducks,
geese and swans.

Never make use of an honest woman's
name in an improper place, or at an improper
assertions about her that you think are un-
true, illusions that you feel she herself
would blush to hear. When you meet with
men who do not scruple to make use of a
woman's name in a reckless manner, shun
them, for they are the very worst members
of the community-men lost to every sense
of honor, every feeling of humanity.

A DIVINE ON SUNDAY LAws.-Rev. W A.
Scott, editor of the Pacific Erpositor, is in
favor of just and equitable law providing
for day of rest, if the people wish such a
law; but he is opposed to Sabbath legisla-
ton as it is generally understood, and OBJ
serves:
"We have always maintained that it was
proper for the Legislature to make just and
equitable laws about day of rest, as mere
municipal, police or civil regulation for the
government of man as a member of society.
Though we have been most grossly and per-
sistently misrepresented on this subject, our
own language has never varied, nor admitted
an honest difference of construction as it
seemed to US. We have uniformly main
tanned that it was competent for the Legisla-
ture to pass laws about day of rest as
mere civil regulation; and we have just as
uniformly maintained that the Legislature
has no constitutional right to discriminate
between days on religious grounds, or to
legislate for day of rest as religious day,
or for religious purposes, nor to pass any
religious laws. AS the province or jurisdic-
tion of the Church is purely spiritual, so we
think the province or jurisdiction of the
State is purely civil.

to Frenchify every English word which con-
tains the letter "F, and has supreme con-
tempt for those who will persist in giving
re" the sound of ''a." 1t says:
The adoption of this despicable Frenchism,
is not only ruining the dignity of the old
Saxon, but is attempting to destroy the ab-
original nomenclature of America. Thou
sands of our broad praries, lofty mountains,
expansive lakes, beautiful towns and cities,
and even whole States, bear the euphonious
names given by their original possessors-
the Indians. The abominable word butchers
are endeavoring to destroy even these 1t
is now becoming fashionable to pronounce
the Indian name, "Miami," after this style
-"Mee-aw- me-" and, in all probability, it
will not be long before "Ohio" will be pro-
nounced "O-hee-o." Out upon this disgust

run over the whole surface of the evapo-
rator. For syrup it is gagged so that l 5
minutes will be required for the juice to
traverse its whole length, by which time
it becomes beautiful golden syrup. A
constant stream is therefore passing into
and over the evaporation, passing in i'm
pure juice and running out pure syrup.
All the impurities are readily gathered
before it has made its way over half the
surface, and there is no waste whatever.
1t requires less fuel, admits ofless waste,
and makes far better syrup, than any
evaporator in use. To make sugar it is
only necessary to boil the syrup a few
minutes longer.
Messrs. T. G. BARrLE & Co., of this
village, have purchased the right for this
evaporation for the counties of Fayette,
Clayton, Dubuque, Delaware, Buchanan,
Blackhawk, Benton, Linn, Jones, Jack
son, Cedar, Johnson, Iowa, Lee, Jeffer-
son, Wapello, Keokuk, Mahaska, Marion
and Polk, and will fill all orders for them.
Where two or three persons can combine
together to purchase one, the cost is in
considerable, and they will pay large
interest on the investment. Messrs. B.
u Co. will give any further information
relative to the machine that is required,
on addressing them at this place. They
also sell reliable quality of seed, both
Of the Chinese and African cane. They
will deliver machines for Southern Iowa
at Keokuk, Davenport, or Clinton.
