WHAT CHEER HousE.-This has become
popular designation among hotel-keepers
throughout the State. There are perhaps
dozen "What Cheer Houses" but the estab-
iishment of that name to which we desire to
call especial attention, is the institution with
worldwide reputation, located at San Fran
cisco, and kept by r. B. Woodward. 1t is
capacious and admirably kept hotel, with
graded prices, to suit the miiliouare, the
professional man, merchant, miner, steerage
passenger and laborer. It's extensive museum
of rare curiosities, is a feature contributing
to its prosperity, and should be seen by every
one who is curious in the investigation of
such matters.

LARGE BoNE.-Mr. Baird, of Poorman' s Greek
Sierra county, informs us that large bone was
found some two months since in a shaft on said
creek, one hundred and fifty feet below the surf
ace, which measured two feet in length and was
eight inches in diameter at one end and five at
the other. It was somewhat decayed when found,
and has since nearly crumbled to pieces. 1t is
thought that its dimensions were much larger
when it was entire. Our informant represents it
as resembling the shin bone of some animal: No
other portion of the animal was found. This
long memento of the buried past, thus brought
to light in one of the gorges Of the Sierra Neva-
da, may have belonged to that age of wonders
when the lordly Mastadon roamed through the
'.mammoth groves" of this continent, and the
Saurian monsters " dragged their slow length
along through its inland seas, its marshes and
lagoons. "There were giants in those days. -

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION little has
been said on this subject byithelparty press
and public speakers, sbhat few people seem to
fbe aware of the fact, that they will be re-
euired atsthe approaching electien,t to express
their assent or dissent to the calling of a
Convention to revise and amend the present
Constitution. The Governor, in his ,procla-
nation, directs public attention to the act of
April 2sth, 1860.
1t will be recollected that this subject was
before the voters atfthe last general election !:
but owing to neglect and misapprehension
in many localities, the vote given was mea-
gre; and in some instances returned it was
thought, as representing an opposite senti
ment from that intended to be expressed.
This arose from inattention to the ballots,
which were differently printed by different
parties in different places, but always, We
believe, expressing positively or construc-
lively Affirmative opinion in the premises
something like the ballots designed for the
people.of Kansas, IN voting on the Lecomp-
ton Constitution. For instance, some of the
tickets had on, "For;a Convention Yes -
and others simply, "For Conpention -
leaving the blank to be filled by "yes' or
-"no," at the option of the voter. Many con-
strued this latter passive form of inquiry,
into an ultimate affirmate declaratve and
being favorable to Convention, voted with
out filling up the blank with 'iyes;" and of
course, misunderstandingly and uselessly-
The Legislature for some time, last winter,
discussed the ,propriety of counting this forn
of ballot as favorable to the calling of
Conyention7 but as the opposition was for
midable, it was concluded to refer the whole
matter back to the people. This time the
voters should give more heed to the subject;
for we assure them it is of vast Importance,
Notwithstanding the studied silence of the
politicians regarding it.

VALLEY ORAToRs.-We are not likely to
go astray in the mountains for the want of
political indoctnination. The valley orators
are literally pouring in upon us, each with a
new text aad an elaborated context Well ;
isn't that all right2 How, otherwise, should
We know who to vote for ? how gain instrnc-
tion ? We who occupy q place on the out
skirts of civilization, where the irradiating
beams of knowledge are never supposed to
penetrate; where newspapers and plug hats
are scarcely known, and people arrogate to
themselves the right to exercise privileges
not recognised by the Politicians Guide and
Party-Line Manual?
Among the Big Guns which have already
gone of, We have had Fitch, Fisher, Ham
mond, McCorkle, Gwin and Tilford. More

Whether the game bagged is equal to the
ammunition expended, is more than we can
say bat we are told, that in at least one
instance, the exhortation made, produced a
different effect from that intended. A man
who professed to have experienced saving
grace, according to the tenets of a particular
party segment, "caved" and back-slid under
the eKpoundings of a leader in the faith to
which he belonged. His weighty argument
for taking this step was, that che had voted
in FIVE Presidential elections, and had ALWAYS
observed that the best abused man was the
most competent for the position, and the one
whom the people delighted to honor"

ers This pithy sentence contains moral

LOVE, DESPAIR AND SuIcIDE.-Some of our
citizens were much shocked, last evening, at the
circumstance of a man. s attempting to hang him
self because of unrequited love. 1t seems that
Mr.. Menteau had, or, rather, has wife, whom
he loved, or, rather, loves passing we'll. Circum-
stances, of damnable tangibility, forced him to
doubt that wife's fidelity, and induced him to ex-
claim, in the language of Lord Randolph
"Let no man, after me, woman wed
Whose heart he knows he has not, tho she bring
With her a mine of gold a Kingdom, for
Her dowry. She must, she will bring shame
And sorrow On him. The worst of sorrows,
And the worst of shame"
To make long story short; instead of hunting
up the destroyer of his peace land popping a pei
let of lead into his thorax, as chivalrous man
would have done, or letting the faithless wife go
to the devil her own road, as a sensible man
would have done, he must needs go hang HIM
self! Welf-he sought out quiet spot on
Spring street-fastened the dreadful rope to a
beam-got on chair-tied the rope around his
neck-kicked the chair from under him-and
was in full swing for
"The undiscovered country, from whose bourne
No traveller returns,"-
when he was discovered and cut down, in time TO
save his precious life. 1t is said he went off in
passion, and it is shrewdly suspected he will yet
make corpse of himself if he has good luck.-
If he do, we shall be under obligations to him for
another item, in which ample justice will be done
to erybody.-Transcript.
