mile, led fsom that out, and came home winner OF
the heat in 3434 Souvenir abandoning the contest
after losing her second place, and coming home
last; for which she was drawn from the contest.
Reserve and Endorser now having heat each, the
excitement was high in regard to their third strug
gle, with Exchequer.
Third Hedt.-The three got OFF prettily, and
opened out, Reserve ahead and Endorser last.
The contest around the first mile was exciting
enough They crowded together in the run home,
and passed the string so fairly abreast that a
blanket would have covered all three. This was
the most beautiful and exciting feature of the
whole race, and was cheered most Justify by the
assembled thousands. They kept close together,
and snapped places as they clipped it around ;
Reserve allowing Exchequer to pass him, and En-
dorser passing BOTH thus leaving Exchequer the
middle place as before. As they rounded into the
last turn, Endorser widened the gap behind him,
and came home winner Of the heat and race,
amidst the most uproarious shouting, in 3:444.
This days meeting, resulting as it did in the un-
expected defeat of the two favortes and the thigh
fall of the enthusiasts who had piled SO much
money upon them, will long be remembered in
sporting circles.
We append summary Of the two races.

From the Home Journal
You're tired, dear mother, your cheek is quite

Rich hanfaets and jewels, and purses of gold?
was the wolf that she met like our wolf at the
door,
Shall we never walk out where the houses so tall
nave iace DER each window, and lamps in each
Where the curly-haired children play over the
grass?
We might hear their gay laughter and talk as we'd
pass.
Must you sit here and work till your fingers are

My nice little cloak why thought twas for me
once, always in garments as fine was dressed.
But shant ask for this, if you think 'twould be
best;
Yet Tcan't understand what you told me before,
That it might, for while, keep the wolf from the
door,
The clothes have on are so thin and so worm
try to be thankful they never stay torn;
But should Like some new ones, with tassels and
And stockings not shrunken nor faded, nor frayed;
And pair OF new shoes-how they'd creak on the
floor!
But then he might hear them-the wolf at the door,
The rooms growing dark, and / can't see to play
BY the light of the lamp that shines over the way,
And the shadows that fit DER its CLEAN on the
wall
They frighten me, coming 50 shapeless and tall
oh, how would beg for a candle once more,
If you thought he'd not see us--the wolf at the
door.
And the fire on the hearth. it has died away quite
Won't you kndle new one, dear mother, to-
night2
DON'T You love the soft flames as they crackle and
glow?
They would warm your poor hands, that are cold
as the snow
And the kettle would sing-hark lis that the
winds roar?-
oh, mother?-T fear it's the wolf at the door.
Well, hear my prayers, and I'll lie down in bed,
And while your soft arm is passed under my head,
Won't you tell me again to be trusting and brave,
Though march over tlorns on my way to the
grave ~ s-=-=4
To keep sa from my heart lest it eat to the core
Dear mother, is sin like the wolf at the door?
And tell me OF mansions still grander than those
Where the rich children play and the grass greenly
grows;
Where they'll give me bright robes and crown
for my head,
And on fruits from the gardens of God I'll be fed
Oh, mother! to think there wen live evermore,
And be in no fear of the wolf at the door!

ADULTERATING NATIVE WINEs.-The Alta
reports an on dit that certain San Francis
cans are engaged in adulterating or counter
feiting California wines. Why, bless its
soul, that thing has been practiced so long
that throughout the interior consumers are
afraid to purchase what purports to be ma
tive wine, lest they may drink only some sour
stuff that never was near vineyard We
have reason to believe that California wine,
SO called is manufactured in other portions
of the State where grape never grew. We
have seen packages of labels, similar to those
ing through country post Offices directed to
wholesale liquor vendors, and thought the
fact pretty strong proof that counterfeiting
nativewnes is not peculiar to San Francisco.
There should certainly be an effort made to
prevent by legislation fraud which already
greatly Injuries most important industrial
element. Apart from the importanc to
health and morality of having pure and cheap
wines of home manufacture, it is essential
for the reputation and value of them for ex-
portation that this counterfeiting should be,
if possible, Immediately checked. Those
guilty of it are no better than the counter
feiters of coin, and actually do more mis-
chief Their ofense should incur as severe
a penalty.

Col E. D. Baker, the most eloquent Cali

sailed on Friday last for Oregon, where he
intends to abide permanently, ifthat Repub-
lie is more grateful than this. number of
his friends accompanied him to the steamer,
presented him with an elegant gold chro-
nometer watch, made and heard parting
speeches. and sent him off with the echoes
of nine rousing cheers ringing in his head
The last speech made by the warrior-advo-
cate was in the case of DR.. Chase, charged
with adulterating acids belonging to the S.
f. Mint. In this speech, among many witty
and handsome things the Colonel said
"He had long known that the tears of
women could extract silver from his pocket.
but DR.. Raymond had said you could extract
silver from a woman's tears. Nature was
full of such curious dispositions of her
stores. Coal was reservoir of sunbeams.
There was chlorine in every tear, in the
coolest drop of water that ever leaped from

ENGLISH Washington Irving's
death has elected from the press of Great
Britain and the continent of Europe almost
universal words of genial praise and sincere
regret. One journal, however, the Illustrated
London Ners, views him but as a mere imi-
tator. 1t Says
'ln English literature-much as he has
delighted and instructed us--his name must
be put in low compartment, and his statue
in an obscure niche in the temple of fame.
He was indeed very pleasant writer of es-
says, after the British essayists, and rendered
good service to his country by writing in
good style, using on all occasions the best
word in the best place."
The journal which speaks so disparagingly
of our beloved Irving shows its ignorance
of his writings and its incompetency to sit
in criticism over them, by alluding to his
Knickerbocker History as veritable histor-
ical work, which has elected its author "a
historian fit to rank with Robertson and
Prescott! The same intelligent journal says
tha: Helpers 'Impending Crisis" is book
relating to the Harper's Ferry insurrection !
We learn from the Marysville Express that
a good article of Irish whiskey is manufac-
tured in that city. This reminds us of a
circumstance that happened in North San
Juan. One of our citizens enquired at a
liquor store kept by crafty old German for
n certain individual whom he wished 70 son
and was thus directed: "He ish back nit

According to the AHa, the construction of
the California Central RailrUad is progress
ing with such rapidity that the completion
of the line to Lincoln, eighteen miles north
of Folsom, by the ist of June, may be con-
sidered d fixed fact. The track is already
laid for distance of three miles north of
Folsom, and ON the 18th inst, an engine
and train Of cars passed over the new sus-
pension bridge at the latter place; for the
first time. The excavating and grading is
already completed as far as Lincoln, and the
work of laying down the track is progress
ing finely. Col. Charles L. Wilson, under
whose superintendent the road has been
constructed thus far, is now on his way to
the Atlantic States for the purpose of pur-
chasing material for the completion of the
line to Marysville.

According to tfie albany, N. Y. Statesman,
Geo. w. Kendall, the famous editor of the
N. O. Picayune, who is now the owner of
thousands of acres of Texas land and a hum
dred thousand head of stock, made his first
pechniary capital, when d voting journey

poker He played the game at the Astor

sum of $l5, part of that borrowed, won
500, quit New York and Greeley, for whom
he was working, nezt day, went to New Or
leans and started the Pfcqyane. 1t is seldom
that poker leads to such virtuous and happy
results: It 0ftener stirs up the fires of an
unholy passion which alrrcst certainly COM

CALiFoRNiA PuNcH.-The Nevada Jomaal
alluding to our account of the Chihaman who
hung himself because he was unable to pay

about his obligations as this Chinaman the
woods would hang as thick as blackberries

According to the .Sierru Deraocrut "the best
effects man can leave with his heir are the
effects of good example, The same paper
applies the term of sifastidiots" to those peo-
pie who damage their health by fitting them
selves to apparel of ''the mode" Not con-
tent with these smartnesses, Forbes thus
comments upon the Assembly bill which
provides for the arrest and Imprisonment of
the German hurdy-gurdy girls: "lt is
queer precaution, anyhow-keeping girls
tirtuous by requiring them to be confined
in jail:'
Rev. H. B: Sheldon, of Downieville, says
the "Citzen", "has been requested to clear
up any doubts which may be entertained OF
the capacity Of the Ark to preserve, during
the deluge the family of Noah, and the spe-
cies of all living things that were previously
upon the EARTH" We know that California
preachers are expected to dispense the gos-
pei, minister to the sorrowing and suffering;
and support their own families on nothingi
or next to it but we submit that the above
is asking of Bro. Sheldon entirely too much,
and it will not lie unchristian if he refuses
10 undertake such herculean task.

The splendid granite quarries of Folsom,

A COPPER SLuG.-Haper's Magazine for
February contains an engraving of an early
Roman copper coin, still extant in British
collection, which measures about six by four
inches specifically and three-eighths of an
inch in thickness, and weighs little less
than Eve pounds avoirdupois This nice lit
tie pocket piece is a specimen of the earliest
known coinage of Italy, and probably dates
from B. c. 500 to B. G. 600 1t bears on its
face tolerably faithful representation of an
OK, and serves to illustrate the theory that
the first valuation of metal became fixed
with regard to the value of sheep and oxen.
The money weight of the Egyptians and As
syrians was in the shape of a lamb, and our
word pecuniary is derived from the Latin
word for money, peeuniu, which in turn is
derived from pecus, flock of sheep or cattle.
We hope many of our California mountain
GERS will eventually discover that sheep are
still representatives of wealth.
