Two GIRLS STEAL HORSES TO SEE THEIR
MoTHER.-A correspondent of the Marysville
appeal, writing from Chico, Butt County,
California says; ........
A very singular occurrence took place near
here on Saturday. A woman started from
near Marysville, the latter part of last week,
with her two daughters for Yreka. On their
way up, the three stopped at Lowery's Ranch,
on Butte Creek. At this point the mother
left her daughters and went upon her journey
alone. On the day in question, the daughters
one of whom is about fourteen, and the Other
twelve years of age, determined to join theiI
mother at all hazards, stole two horses be-
longing to Maxey Il Mum, of Lowery's
Ranch, and "put" for Red Bluff. The loss Of
the horses was soon discovered, pursuit was
given and the fair young culprits and their
booty overtaken at the Bluffs. They were
all, girls and horses, brought back on Sunday
and deposited at Lowery's. The horses wen
to grass and the girls to crying.

supposed to be fixed in mid-water. Like
those fossil remains which we dig out Of a
rock or quarry--at once preserved and buried
in stratum SO many measured feet from the
earth's surface, and so many immeasurable
miles from its core-these submerged but
not foundered vessels are imagined to rest

There they are held as in the grasp of an
accomplished destiny; lost forever to human
sight and knowledge-the subject only Of

abodes, below The sweep of currents and the
rage of tempests, we might find every thing

below the path of friendly keels, and yet the
bottom grated on no reef or strand. All the
semblance of life might be found there, ste

PRICE ONE CENT.

The AericuItaraI Exhibition I'm Paris-
.nfAmerlcan InventIoh gain Triumphant,
u The Paris correspondent of the New York
Express writes on the 22d ult. as follows
The biennial agricultural exhibition Of
France is now open at the Palace Of Industry
in the Champs Elysees. The show is in
some respects, the finest that has yet taken
place in Paris. There is marked improve
ment 10 horses and cattle, and, If the English
do not look sharp, their neighbors will soon
outstrip them in this branch of material pro-
gress, as they have done in some others. The
exhibition is admirably organized, and is
pecuniary success. The price of admission
is one franc, Twenty centsl and on the OPEN
ing day, Sunday last the receipts were nearly
10000 francs. 1t was originally decided that
the exhibition should remain open FIVE days,
but in compliance with the general desire
the Minister of Agriculture has extended the
period three days more. On the last day
every thing is TO be sold at auction to the
highest bidder .ft r- .'i rtGr - -iI
American inventive genius keeps up its
reputation in France, and another American
labor-saying machine has again triumphantly
carried off the first prize. There is large
number of farming machines and utensils in
the Exhibition-and all the different inven-
tions for hay-cutting and raking, &C., were
tried on Tuesday, at the Emperor's model
farm, at Vincennes, in the presence of the
Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of State,
the juries of the Exposition, and a few privi-
legged persons. For this trial the machines
were divided into two classes-French and
Foreign. Prizes, consisting of gold medal
and one thousand francs were to be bestowed
on the best machine of each class, and great
gold medal, as prize of honor, to be awarded
to the best of all, irrespective of country.
Woods American hay-cutter, constructed in
France, from model imported from the
United States, by NJ. Peltier, jr., took the
first prizes of its class and carried off the
great gold medal, besides .

ANOTHER INDIAN RIVER NAvIGABLE-The
only Indian rivers heretofore regarded as
navigable have been the Brahmapuna, the
Ganges, with some of its tributaries, the
Hoogly and the Indus. But recent explora-
tions have added to this lsr the Godavery,
which, rising in the central mountainous
regions of the peninsula, pours its waters
through a broad delta into the Bay Of BEN
CAPE aO comorin 5 " CAPT. Young, s earg in iast
summer, in the dryest season of the year,
assembled the river in the steamer Arthur
Cotton to Koyicltha, ninety-two miles above
its mouth, and in smaller steamer sue
ceeded, without difficulty, in reaching Dunn
agudiem, at distance Of lab miles from the
sea. In view OF. this discovery, measures are
in progress to make the river commercially
useful, ana the English Government are
about establishing depots at Mahadeopure OF
Chinnar and Cocanada. Troops destined for
Nagpoor will hereafter be sent by way of the
Godavery.

and up to that morning his sight had been
perfect. When told the second time by his
father to get up, he replied: Father, is il

the little fellow sadly said, II am blind"
The boy was recently taken to Nashville

at wax-light morn again was ever at the same
table, watching for the turn of luck, and she

got good lump of gold and notes at her side,
she would suddenly rise and sweeping off the
spoils, exclaim, ats vara wrong to play too
much, and I'll cen wish you gutter night"
an inexhaustible sitter, and would play for
everything but land; the coach and horses at

and coachmen's liveries, with the provision
that the clothes should be left behind and the
servants taken home.

Very Romantic Affair in Paris-Odd De-
s. veIopments.
A trial is coming on at Paris, which will
give publicity TO a sad afTair:

A trial is coming on at Paris, which will
give publicity to a sad affair;
An English lady, the widow of an officer
who died in India some few years ago, leav-
ing large fortune, had become attached to
and married person much beneath her in
station--a sous officer of gendarmerie. Moth
ing, however, has occurred during the four
years that the union has lasted, to make her
regret the step she has taken, although the
gendarme did turn out TO be the brother of
her femme de ehambre; and she did meet with
him first of all (by accident, of course)
dressed plainly at the bal MdbilLe whittier
she had gone one evening escorted by the
stipdnte, who had told her that the greatest
ladies in Paris were seen in that seductive
place, and that no harm could possibly be
thought of any lady going there in company
with her maid. The lady's daughter (by her
first marriage) had grown--since the estab-
lishment of her mamma with the ex-gen-
darme-from a fine child of twelve into a
lovely girl of sixteen.
The honest gendarme had behaved with
exemplary kindness to his daughter-in-law;
itseems that the Dae1dge was progressing as
well as could be expected, when, in March
last, came tremendous shock to its tran
guilty, in the shape of an offer of marriage
for the young lady from travelling COM
mission agent, who had supplied the wine
for the family, and who had been admitted
on familiar terms, in consequence of the cul-
tivation of his manners which seemed fai
above his station. The demand was, o
course, treated with contempt-the young
lady bearing one of the best names in En-.
gland, and entitled to large fortune-anC
the dismissed lover, hidden to remember tn,
great distance between the bright particular
star he had dared to WOO, was dismissed, OF
the part of the gendarme in particular, will
every demonstration of contempt.
The next day, however, the young lad,
was missing, and letter from Langres an
nounced that she had chosen to act for her
self, and had eloped with the commission
agent the marriage had, therefore, become
a necessary conclusion, and the young couplt
were, consequently, united The commission
agent whose manners are above his station
turns out to be an escaped forcat who ha
Just been restored to his place in the bagne q

companied his young wife, to show her tn

PROPER MODE OF PRESERVING THE EYES.
Halls Journal Of Health says 1.1
Multitudes of men and women have made
their eyes weak for life by the too free use OF
eyesight in reading fine print and doing fine
sewing In view of these things it will be
well to observe the following rules in the use
of the eyes: J.. Q .l."
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness. er1 'd "
Never begin to read, write or sew, for
several minutes after coming from darkness
to a bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or
on a very cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front of the
light, or window, or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from above
obliquely, over the left shoulder. '
Never sleep so that, on the first awakening
the eyes shall open on the light nfN window
Do not use the eyesight by light so scant
that it requires an effort TO discriminate.
Themoment you are instinctively prompted
to rub the eyes, that moment cease using
them. .--. ..... ...H
If the eyelids are glued together on waking
up, do not forcibly open them; but apply the
saliva with the fnger--it is the speediest
dilutant in the world; then wash your eyes
and face in warm water.

Mans Power to Resist Evn.

Henry Ward Beecher, in a late sermon, ex-
pressed himself as follows; -.s
All men are clothed with ability efficiently
to resist evil. Therefore | affirm the exist
ence of a plenary power of men over them
selves, bywhich they can control their whole
being, so that il shall be coincident with natu-
raj law and moral law. This is the side which
has been made weak in every age of the
world by philosophy. Different PHILOSOPHERS,
springing from different roots and elements,
have agreed very largely in attempting TO
show that men were in some way compelled
TO follow their nature. In our day these
PHILOSOPHERS, if possible, are more rife than
they ever were before, for they are coming
to be used on the side of physiology. A fuller
knowledge Of natural law, the introduction
of many elements of knowledge that have
hitherto been hidden from our understand
ing, is bringing the attendant evils of new
discoveries in truth. There is great deal
of skepticism springing out of the bosom Of
q great deal of good.
Men once erred by giving too little influ-
ence to the constitution Of things in men.
There have been great many that have
taught that all men were born substantially
alike. Certainly, the influence of their
teachings has been to make it appear that all
men were alike responsible--responsible, that
is, as if each one was just as liable to tempta-
ton, and was endowed with just as much
power Of resisting temptation as every other.
But now the tendency is to go to the oppo-
site extreme. Since men have found out
that organization is q fact; that men differ
from each other according to the various ele-
ments in the composition of their body and
mind; that different men carry different
qualities in them, in differing proportions;
and that the responsibility of each man is to
be estimated, not by any comprehensive phi
losophical principle, but by his own nature
Since this truth has become more popularly
diffused and believed, there is a tendency
among men to go over to laxity and demoral.
ization on that side, and to argue that mer
are so made that their nature is inevitable
and irresistible; that their being placed in
certain conditions and circumstances will de-
termine what they shall feel aud will and do
and that their being good or bad is the result
Of the outworking of two necessities, one
psychological within, and the other circum-
stantial without. This is u favorite ground
in our day. 1t is a kind of physiological
naturalism and fatalism which never car
believe. . ...r. .....

RECIPE FOR BLACKBERRY JAM.-Gather the
fruit in dry weather; allow half pound of
good brown sugar to every pound Of fruit
boil the whole together gently for an hour,
or till the blackberries are soft, stirring and
mashing them well. Preserve it like any
other jam, and it will be found very useful
ulating their bowels and enabling you to dis
pense with cathartics. 1t may be spread on
bread, or on puddings instead of butter; and
even when the blackberries are bought, it is
cheaper than butter.
