TsRILLINo IEcIDEET.-In q lecture recently
delivered by "Grace Greenwood" ct Boston,
on "Heroism." she referred to an incident that
took place q. the burning Of . steamer on one
of the Western lakes:
Among the few passengers whose courage
and presence OF mind rose superior TO the perils
and horrors OF the night was a mother, who
succeeded in saving her two children by means
only of floating settee. While they we're in
the water the mother saw q man swimming
towards the settee, and as he was about to
grasp 1t, she cried out: "Don't take Il away
from my poor little children !" The msn made
no answer, yet the appeal struck home, for by
the light OF the flaming vessel she could see
that his face was convulsed by the struggle be-
tween the mighty primal instinct Of nature and
something better aud holier. 1t was but for Q
moment. He threw up bis hands with groan
Of renunciation, flung himself over backward
and went down.

SMALL FARMS THE BRsT-We cannot too much
inculcate the important truth, that small farms,
properly cultivated, the best sources Of wealth
in the business Of agriculture. man who will
locate upon his ten twenty acres Of ground, cul-
tivate il properly, and do his own work. with such
assistance as he Is legtimatey able to procure, will
far sooner realize an Independence, or fortune,
than he who spends all that he Is worth on large
ranch and then spends all that he can make of II
in paying the hands who cultivate and improve IL.
How many hundreds Of little ranches and vineyards
and orchards can we not point to, in this State,
1t Is the small farmers who are doing well. Sure,
there are large landholders who make money by the
sale Of their lands their rental but are speak
ing Of men who buy large farms, with the view Of
cultvating the ground upon grand and extensive
scale. They overleap the mark in nine eases out Of
ten and the small farmer, the owner Of ten, twenty
fifty acres Of ground, grows rich and happy, while
they are mortgaged, encountered and sold out.
There are thousands OF little valleys in the noun
tains; thousands Of fertile spots the margins Of
rivers and lakes; thousands Of small but fertile
patches Of ground to be bought OF grant holders, il
not to be found in the limits of the public lands,
upon which pleasant homes may be built, families
reared and fortunes acquired. Indeed, it is sur
prising, in travelling over the country, to see so
many such spots uninhabited. The great error Of
thousands of that class of persons who expect to
live by the cultivation Of the earth, is in their idea
that they must have huge tract OF land upon which
to begin Let them locate upon small farms, and
work industriously, and we warrant that they will
bless the day that they began this course Of con-
duct.-MayysriAe Democrat.

STRANGE Story 2wiss journal has =
strange story OF q vii ,f' lately found by
woodman Of Saint Ms gf afm, in the Canton
Of St. Gall. He discot .st bar lying, wretch
edly clad and benembe th cold, under some
branches, and took he ais house. Accord
ing to her story she is ~ daughter Of what are
called Heimatbose parenIs--a sort of pariabs
who belong to no Canton, and although about
eighteen years of age, neither she nor her pa
rents had ever lived under roof. Her father
not long since killed ber mother in quarrel,
upon which she left him, and has ever since
wandered about the woods and mountains, liv-
ing on wild fruits and vegetables, pilfered from
gardens To explain why she had not been
discovered sooner, she said that her custom had
been to sleep during the day and prowl about
at night, She knew Of no name belonging to
ber parents or herself, and had not the slightest
idea of religion.

Down ON THE TENNEssEANs.-The Is said to
be an old farmer living in Red River county,
Texas, well-todo in the world and hospitabIe,
but who had most inconceivabe prejudice
against Tennessee and Tennesseans, and inso.
much that be would not entertain a man from
that State. His msde of ascertAining Tennes-
sean is something like pro-savery men in
Kansas determining Yankee, BY the pronun-
cistion of the word "cow" the Yankee calling
1t "keow." His word 10 Calico which he says
the Tennesseans uniformly pronounce 'kaliker.'
A stranger rides up, and probably asks the priv
ilege Of spending the night at his house. The
planter, before answering definitely pulls out .
singular piece Of calico from bis vest pocket,
and showing 1t to the stranger, asks what be
thinks Of 1t. "Why, that's caliker, amt 1t ? be
naturally replies. Hang me, sir |" shouts the
old planter, you're from Tennessee, sir, you
can't stop here, you must ride on ~

UNION MEETING IN RocHEsrER.-A large
Union meeting was held in Rochester, New
York, Dee. 2sth, which was addressed by James
Brooks and Ex-Governor Hunt. The following
is the principal resolution adopted;
Re.olred, That we cannot too strongly rebuke
the sentiment that the election of q President
by constitutional majority, having views of
public policy with which the minority do not
coincide, would furnish just cause for the dis
solution of the Union. We, on the contrary,
hold such sentiments to be disorganizing and
traitorous to the patriotic Union-loving, and
diseraceful TO the civilization Of the age and
we hereby give to our fellow-citzens, east, west
north and south, our most solemn pledge, thst
whoever may be elected President Of the United
States in a constitutional way, shall receive
from as, in the lawful discharge OF bis duties,
the same willing obedience and energetic sup
port which we have given to each and all Of
his predecessors; and we hereby declare our
firm and unaltersble purposes to sustain and
protect him in the lawfsl discharge Of these du,
ties, from all enemies within or without, at
home or abroad.
An effort was made to lay this resolution on
the table, but it passed by large majority.

MoRMoSDoM.-lt is stated that Judge Cradle
baugh, who is now in Washington, will use his
influence to prevent the organization Of new
Territory out of Western Utah. lie thinks that
the Gentiles will be sufficiently numerous to
outvote the Mormons, in the course of q year
or two, provided the Territory of Utah is not
divided, and will thus be able in great measure
to break up the Mormon theocracy, and enact
laws in accordance with American ideas OF
government and suited to the wants Of the peo.
pie. Should the Western portion Of the Ter.
ritory be settled as rapidly as is now expected
they will be able to control the political affairs
of the country in the course Of year or two.

Curiouitle. frorn Africa.

Mr.. Paul du Chaillu, moved BY love Of ad-
venture. hss been hunting beasts and birds IN
Africa. for the last four years, aud has return
ed to New York laden with sp0ils, which be IL
now exhibiting in that city.
Among the novelties which he introduced to
the American public for the first time, are sew
eral splendid specimens OF that newly discov-
cred race of Troglodyites known IS Gorillas.
These creatures are exagger ated monkeys, and
combine the cunning and nimblenesa Of the Si-
mian tyibe with the muscular power OF at least
three prize lighters. One OF Du Chaillu's fall
sized males would probably whip Sayers, Hee-
nan, and Morrissey, all together. The larger
specimens are about Eve feet eve inches high,
aud fifty-two inches around she chest, with :
neck like bull't, and arms a. thick as mans
thighs. They eat fruit, but are furnished with
very long and sharp mandibles, like squirrels
or wo0dchuck's, and probably could tear flesh
as easily as q tiger. The general appearance
Of the Gorilla is that Of q libellous caricature
on mankind, and some skeletons OF the species,
exhibited in the came collection, would be easi-
ly mistaken, on casual Inspection, for the frame
work of deformed haman beings.
Besides the Gorilas, Of which there are seve-
raj representatives., old and young, Mr.. Du
Chailu succeeded in "bagging" some amiable
monsters of the same genus, which he claims TO
oe new fhTleues, hnu WHICH, Dy TiRnt VI uis-
covery he has honored with the tough names Of
"Nschiego" and "Koola Kamba." The ''Nschie-
70" IL the most intelligent of all three, and
builds a canopy Of boughs and leaves iu tree,
and, squAtting upon a broad branch beneath
this shelter, defies the rain and ecorching sun.
II is to be regretted that Mr.. du Chaillu could
not have brought bis troglodytes aud his many
other Undesirable quadrupeds and birds to
THE country In q living state but that was ut
tery impossible, owing to the scanty assistance
which he had from the natives, and the great
distance of his hunting ground from the sea-
coast.

SUNDAY LAw.-We notice that some Of our
interior exchanges are again agitating this sub
iect, and urging upon the Legislature to pass
another Sunday law this session. The argument
used is the old one, of needed rest the Sabbath,
and that, therefore, law should be enacted COM
that day. From the persistent manner in which
they urge this measure, one would almost be led
to the conclusion that statute was In existence
making it obligatory upon keepers Of public houses,
and business men generally, to continue their BUSH
on Sundays. Yet there is no such law on the
statute booksi and the question very naturally
arises, why, II merchants or others desire to shut
up shop on Sunday, do they not do soi No one
will question their right in this respect petition
the Legislature to force them to keep open Besides
II will appear in Chrstian-like spirit there
is little respect shown the Sabbath by suspending
business on that day when they are compelled by
law to do so. So long as there is no statute com-
pclling tradesmen to do business on the day in
question, there is necessity for the passage OF
Sunday law, it remains entirely optional with them
to close or keep open, they see ft.-Sonora Dem.

DISTANCE LENDS ENoHANTMENT,--0f late
months, much has been said of the advantages Of,
and the inducements presented by Texas as place
to emigrate to. In fact we have heard Of several
inhabitants of this State and county who have al
ready left for that State and Of others about to start,
That such go destined to certain disappoint-
ment, we cannot doubt. We have been forced 70
this conclusion by the perusal Of series Of letters
written by Mr.. L. b. Cooper to his brother, Mr.. c,
left Pealuma few months since, accompanied by
his family with the avowed determination of settling
in Texas where he to be joined by his brother,
During the past fall and present winter he has trav-
ersed the State from the city Of Galveston to its most
extreme business points; and the result he acknow-
lodges to be total surprise that the State has ever
obtained SO much note and reputation as desirable
location. He says; "Texas is no State for health
or business, and have dismissed the idea entirely
from my mind of ever settling here, in word,
wherever they raise crops il is sckly, and where
it is not sickly there ia neither rain nor money"
In comparing it with our State he says, "Cali-
forna is flower garden to this State" Mr. Cooper
has had ample opportunity to see the country and
to form very correct opinion of it; and from our
knowledge OF the man we are willing to take his
opinion and still hold TO the doctrine that California
Is by far the best State in the Union.Sonoaa jour.

THE TEXAS BORDER TRouBLEs.-By the arri-
val of the steamer Arizona. at New Orleans,
Dec. goth, the following particulars have beea
received Of an engagement between the Ameri-

cannonade on both sides, the Americans charg-

cade, thus allowing the latter to save their ar
tilery. On the 20th, Cortinas assembled his
whole force at point above Brownsville. The
Americans went to meet him, aud after Sc
we're fght the Mexicans were defeated. AT last

the Americans were in hot pursuit.

POPULAR FEELING AT SAX JosE.-A large pub
lie meeting was held at San Jose, on the even
ing of Jan. oath, for the purpose Of giving ex-
preston TO the general feeling in regard to the
present injunction upon the New Almsden
Quicksilver mine. A series Of resolutions were
unanimously adopted, declaring that the clos
ing of the mine had seriously injured, aud IL
long continued would destroy the business en-
ergies of that county, and impair the mining
interests Of tho entire State; condemning the
policy of the government with reference to the
same, and asking the Legislature to memorial
ize cur Representatives in Congress on the sub
ject An idea may be formed Of the earnest
ness Of the people, from the fact that double
row Of signatures over nine feet in length, con-
tanning between 400 and 500 names, was OBJ
tanned to accompany the resolutions to the Cap

A REMARKABLE ECLIPSE or THE Sun THIS
YEAR.-The total eclipse Of the 18th Of next
July will be very important one to the ecien-
tifc world. The Director of the Dorpat Obser-
vatory was the frst TO remark that at the mo-
ment of obscura'ion four Of the principal PLAN
ets-Veuus Mercury. Jupiter and Saturn--will
appear 10 the vicinity Of the eclipsed sun as o
kind Of rhomboidal figure, phenomena Of such
extraordinary rarity that many centuries will
elapse before its repetition. Darkness will
commence and terminate on the land the local
tiles being California and the shores OF the Red
Sea. Between these extreme points the eclipse
will be visible in North America, from whence
the moons shadow will pass across the Attain
tic and traverse Spain total darkness includ-
ing the following important towns In that coun.
try Oviede, st. Vincent. Santapder, Bilboa,
Vittoria, Burgess, Pampeluna, Saragossa and
Valencia The line of totality will then cross
the Mediterranean and enter Africa, passing
across Algers, Bezan, Tozer, Stockna, Sebba.
Goddona aud Mourzuk. Thus, although this
remarkable eclipse will not be total in any part
Of the United Kingdom, il will be 80 In Spain,
and accessible portions Of Africa.

ERuPTIoN OF MOUNT BAKER,--The Port Town
send Register has the following account Of recent
eruption Of Mount Baker;
Saturday evening, Dec. Sd, at eight o'clock, our
citizens startled by two distinct and brilliant
flashes, accompanied by reports Of heavy cannon.
There was heavy squall Of snow at the time, with
the wind from the northeast. Several persons who
out at the time the flashes in the direction
Of Mt. Baker. They describe the light to have been
fash upward like an explosion OF gunpowder, in
stead Of the zigzag motion Of lightning. The fol-
lowing morning the weather was clear, when, with
the aid Of glass, large land slide could be dis
tincty seen on the western side Of the principal
peak; this, however, has since been covered with,
snow. The Indians here said cit was the mountain
shutting up its door to keep out the cold" Mount
Baker has smoked more or less all summer, but
this is the first explosion that has occurred,
