THE PRINCE EXPEcTED.-The correspondent
of the Alta, writes from St. Louis that the Prince
of Wales was announced by telegraph to arrive
in that city on the 18th of September, although
he was not really expected by the best informed,
previous to the oath, and adds
advantage was taken of this mistake, to per-
petrate very disgraceful practical joke. Hand
bills were posted all over the city, stating that
the Royal party would arrive by the Chicago train
at 10 o'clock, A. NJ. Shortly after that hour, a
handsome barouche, drawn by four magnificent
ly caparisoned horses, and containing bogus
Prince of Wales and Duke Of Newcastle, made
its appearance on the streets, and created quite
sensation. The party drove through the prin-
cipal thoroughfares, and wherever there was the
least token of recognition, returned the saluta-
ton in the most gracious manner possible. They
visited the suburbs, stopped at the lager beer
gardens, and did other things which quickly un-
deceived the populace.
at turned out that the Prince in this case was
a female, notorious prostitute, and her coDpan-
ion, one ID. Bohannan, well known appendage
of fancy women. The party was arrested and
taken to the callaboose."

Whisky is now tested by the distance a
man can walk after tasting it. The new
liquor called ''tangle-leg,' is said to be made
of diluted alcohol, nitric acid, old boots and
tobacco, and will upset a man at Il distance
of four hundred yards from the demiohn.

DIDN'T CoME.-We were led to believe,
from several statements which we saw in our
exchanges, that Mr.. Laurens Epson, the Lead
ing editor of the Sacramento Union, who
went to Washoe via the Placerville route,
would return via the Henness Pass and
Truckee route. Indeed, so confident were
we of this, that we had added To our stock
of live poultry, couple of plump young
pullets, to be sacrificed at the family man-
sion for his entertainment, so soon as his
arrival at this place was announced.
We see by the Union, that Mr.. Epson has
got home but be didn't come this way
Perhaps it was best. His interest is directly
connected with the Placerville route. He
has written volumes in its favor. Had he
come this way, he might have said something
in favor of our route which would stultify
him for lie is too honorable man to feel
the truth and not express it. He will par
don US, however, for constituting his omission
as an argument for our route, more eloquent
than he could have uttered with the pen.

ACCIDENT NEAR NICHoLAUs.-Our worthy
and esteemed friend Jack Clark, of Timbuctoo,
sends us the following:
On Saturday last George Congdon and James
MCGEE were returning home from the State Fair
at Sacramento, in a two horse buggy, and having
arrived near Nicholaus, in Sutter county, their
animals became fractions and unmanageable.
Mckee leapt from the buggy, and fell upon his
left arm, which was broken in two places. The
parties subsequently reached Nicholaus, where
the broken bones of McKee's arm were set; but
after having resumed their journey, the bones
became misplaced. On arriving at Timbuctoo,
DIR. Simpson again set the bones, and the injured
man is now in fair way of recovery.

RIDGE WITH THE RIFLE.-Al through this

the boys endeavored to make Ridges trip to the

have no operas nor theaters to which we can in

to go it strong on champagne parties. But when

Gin" So, Ridge being amongst us, was enter
| tanned in the manner indicated, at Koch's shoot
ing match. A rife was put into his hand, of
which weapon he proved to be master. Some
thirty or forty shots had been fired at an incor-
rigble black turkey, by the best marksmen on
the ground, at distance of l80 yards, but the
bird never moulted feather. Ridge drew down
on it. AT the discharge of his gun, the turkey
sprang from its perch. 1t was hit, but no blood
drawn, and the decision went against him. The
second fire more effective, and no person
found it necessary to waste his ammunition on
that fowl afterwards.
If any in the valleys should get unneces-
sarily bellicose in this campaign, and be foolish
enough to send the gentleman in question chal-
lenge, it would give him the choice of weapons !;
and, on their souls salvation we admonish them
to beware of his terrible rife.

GRAPE CIrIruRE

Experience has taught, that the mountains of
California possess a soil susceptible of other
purposes and capabilities than the mere produc-
ton of minerals. The foothills offer greater
inducements than the higher activities, perhaps,
for general agriculture and sheep-raising; but
even on some of the highest ridges, the soil
and climate have both demonstrated the practi-
! cability of producing all kinds of vegetables,
fruits, indigenous flowers, and many of the
exotics.
There are occasional valleys of meadow-land,
grassy, sloping, and with gushing springs, where
the hand of industry has afforded abundant evi-
dences of thrift. Some of these are paradisial
spots, where the anchorite might be tempted to
dwell in social intercourse, and where the lover
of nature, improved upon and beautifed by art,
could find it in his heart to dwell eternally-if
translation did not necessarily involve change
of spiritual abodes.
But we designed to speak chiefly of the adap-
tation of our mountain soils for the culture of
the grape. All around US, in every direction, the
incipient vineyard may be seen. We have tasted
the rich and juicy clusters which were grown on
ing-where the fructifying principle would seem
to have no existence; and yet, on these very
spots -unforbidding as they are to the eye, and
unpromising to the hope-the grapevine has
been found to flourish and bring forth abundantly
Our people should give this subject more of
their attention. 1t was recently asserted by an
experienced horticulturist, that grapes can be
raised and sold with profit in California, at three
cents pound. The trouble attending their cul-
ture, in proportion to the yield of the vines, is
very trifing. No man who owns patch of
ground, and has family about him, should ne
glect to embark, so far as circumstances will ad-
nit, in this particular branch of horticulture. 1t
will not only prove profitable, but operate as a
means of inducing population to the mountains,
which is now all they require, to stimulate fur
ther development of those vast and varied re-
sources which must ultimately be source of in
dividual wealth, as they matter of State
and National pride.

NEVADA CAMPAIGNER.-This is the title of
the Breckenridge and Lane organ started at
Nevada. 1t is small weekly, edited by C. F.
Smith, Esq, and will be published every Satur-
day till after the election. Those who have seen
and read the first number, need not be told that
Mr.. Smith is writer of ability. His articles
speak for themselves. Every Administration
man in the county ought to subscribe for the
"Campaigner." If they don't, and are beaten in
the county, let them hold their peace after cleo
ton. We could name twenty men of that ilk in
this town, who ought to put their names down
and pay in advance for at least ten copies each.
