IA subscriber has sown field of
rye for bis breeding mares, but has
since been told that if they are al
lowed to feed upon if they will not

fact.
1t is said that green rye, and par
ticularly green clover, in their mos.
suSculent stages, produce such an ef-
feet upon the bowels. and the animal
system generally, as TO render breed
ing sometimes uncertain. IF we bad
mares from which We wished to
breed valuable colts, We should pre-
fer to give them shorter and more
substantial pasture, With hay and
other solid food, and reserve the rye
or clover in the earlier part of the
season for other stock. We know
nothing, however, from personal ex.
perienee of the fact that green pas
turage is thus furious; yet from the
well known effects ofssuch food upon
the animal secretiths, We have no
doubt they are liable to the accident
referred to. We shall be p&ssed to
publish any facts touching the sub
ject, from the experience of any Of
our readers.

Preserving Hams in the Summer

Make number Of cotton bags. a
little larger than your hams; after
the hams are well smoked, place
them in the bags; then get the best
kind Of well made hay, cut it with a
knife. and with your hands press it
we'll around the hams in the bag; tie
the bag with strings, put on card
Of the year to show their age, and
hang them up in the garnet or some
dry room, and .hey will hang five
wears, and will be better for boiling
than on the day you hung them
up. This method costs but lit
tie and the bags will last forty
years. No flies or bugs will trouble
the hams il the hay is well pressed
around the m; the sweating Of the
hams will be taken mp by the hay,
and the hay will imparta fine flavor
10 the hams. The hams should be
treated in this way before the hot
weather sets in.

THE WAY TO MANAGE HoRsEs.--
Never attempt to clean or otherwise
disturb your horse while eating his
meal, unless you want him to bite
and kick. But when you clean, take
him out Of the stall, and make q
business of it. Tie your horse in
the centre of the stall, unless you
want your horse to DO as most horses
do, drive more On one rein than Oh
the other. Horses that are liable
to cast themselves in their stalls,
should be tied with a neck halter,
giving them much more freedom OF
the head than the nose halter. Gen
tleness, frmness and moderation will
subdue the most obdurate.

EQUITABLE INDEBTEDNESS.

1t will be recollected that in 1856 the Su
preme Court of California declared the entire
State debt unconstitutional This was vir-
tually an act of repudiation. But the people
were pot willing to rest under such an i'm
putation, and the first Legislature which
convened afterwards, passed the act of April
2sth, 1857, submitting to vote of the people
the question whether they would not assume
and pay three millions niue hundred thous-
and dollars, which, it was supposed at the
time, would cover the entire amount. The
people did assume the payment of the debt,
and the State Treasurer proceeded, under
the act, to issue bonds redeemable at his
office on the first day Of July, 1877, bearing
interest at the rate of per cent. per annum
1t was found that the debt greatly exceeded
the amount voted upon. Some of it was
still outstanding in the shape of repudiated
bonds, after the sum of three millions nine
hundred thousand dollars had been exhaust
ed, and some in the form of equitable in
debtedness-that is, of State scrip, audited
and unaudited claims-which could not be
paid until acknowledged and assumed by a
second vote of the people. That vote you
will be called upon to give on the 9th day of
November next
The act of the last Legislature providing
for the funding and payment of the debt still
outstanding, submits the sum of two hun
dred thousand dollars to vote of the peo-
pie, for which, if assumed, bonds will be
issued redeemabe on the lst of July 1880,
bearing interest the same as the funded debt
already alluded to- and which, in both cases,
is to be paid semi-annually-on the first of
January and July of each year-at the Office
of the State Treasurer
This is the whole story 1t would be USE
less to inquire whether the debt, or any por-
tioui of it, was legally contracted The
people selected the agents who fastened it
upon them; and according to our ideas Of
equity and justice-leaving the tecbnicalities
of law entirely out of the question-they
are in honor bound to assume and pay it.

EDMUND RANDoLPH's PAMPHLET.-We have

California, from the discovery of the country to
the year 1849, delivered before the society of
California Pioneers, at their celebration of the
tenth anniversary of the admission of the State
of California into the Union, by Edmund Ran
dolph, ESQ.,
We have not yet had time to peruse Mr.. Ran
dolph's elaborate narrative, but are well satis-
fed, from the comments of the press, and the
well-known intellectual reputation of the author,
that it must be a complete and elegant exposition
OF the interesting subject upon which it treats.

LOLA MoNrEz.-The people of Nevada
county, among whom Lola once resided have
a vivid remembrance of many of her eccen-
tricites. She was then faded in beauty and
depraved in morals; but had all the fire of a
towering and restless ambition. She had
but d short time previously succeeded in
humhiing and depraving Pat. Hull, who. be-
fore he became acquainted with and married
her, was regarded as one of the most excel
lent gentlemen in the State. Subsequently,
and while she made her home at Grass Val
ley, another gentleman became her dupe
and humble servitor, whom she Aeeced and
afterwards abandoned-a just punishment
for the folly and crime to which he lent him
self as party, when he consented to become
the ministering satellite Of so notoriously
heartless an adyenturer.
Read what this woman has come to. The
retribution of Heaven has at last overtaken
her. An Eastern paper says
.She is stopping at Astoria, (Long Island,
New York, with kind friend; but, alas !!
in what condition of body and mind She
is not exactly an imbecile, and yet, what
term will more clearly express her mental
helplessness? Physically, she is an invalid
of melancholy description. A female friend
of mine saw her day or two ago, and it
was enough to make ones heart bleed, to
note her picturesque Innings of the won
derfully changed woman. Lola was dressed
in half-night, half-morning robe, and sat
in pretty garden, her hollow cheeks, sunken
eyes, and cadeverous complexion, forming a
remarkable contrast to the gay flowers. She
was unable to utter an ineligible word,
except spasmedically, and after repeated
efforts Her mouth was frothing, like that
of one in partial convulsions, and she was
unconsciously wiping it, as little boys do,
by drawing the sleeve of her dress across It..
In fact, she had the strange, wild appearance
and behavior of a quiet idiot, and is evident
ly lost to all further interest in the world and
its affairs around her. And so ends her
eventful history. What study for the brill
liant anu thoughtless What sermon on
human vanity"
The hydraulic press., 1860-10-27
Political Confidence.

just previous to an election the politicians
become remarkably sanguine. Every crumb
of good news received, is magnifed into the
proportions of mountain. The man who
happens to be on the weak side, feels-or
pretends to feel-quite as confident as be
who knows himself in the majority. This is
the amusing style in which they vaunt. The
Nevada Democrat, Douglas paper, asserts
"We have the most positive assurances, from
sources entirely reliable that the popular curren,
is constantly increasing for Douglas and John
son."
And here is wha. the Mountain Democrat
"a Breckenridge sheet of the goth inst,
professed to believe:
''The Black Republicans have conceded the
election of Foster, in Pennsylvania, by an over
whelming majority, foregone conclusion.-
Indeed, the news from all quarters of the coun-
try is most cheering to the Democracy"
The Marysville Appeal, a Republican or
gan, says:
"Ihe grand hope OF every California Repubfi-
can now Is, to have this State cast her vote for
the coming man. We believed, before the news
arrived from Pennsylvania and Indiana, that she
would do it, and gave plausible grounds for such
belief. The moral influence Of those elections
will now render it certain"
What is the neophyte to do, where there
is such contrariety of opinions, who, in
acting with political party for the first
time is anxious to identify himself with the
strongest side?
The socks have been knocked off the Plac-
erville man, so far, at least, AS his prophecy
related to Pennsylvania; but, on general
principles, in another part of the same issue,
he seeks to encourage the followers of Me-.
Breckenridge, by exclaiming-
"Let our brethren throughout the State lift up
their voices with one accord, and rejoice-for the
day of redemption from the dangers which en-
compass this fair country, at the hands of bigot-
ry, intolerance, fanaticism and demagoguism, is
at hand"
Here, at least, is encouragement. We are
all in favor of the determination of bigotry,
intolerance, fanatieism and demagoguism, !"
let whoever may be elected President.
This is politics, and-bosht
