of striking ideas. Miss Monson is young
lady with "a progressing appearance. Be

Re-uniOn.

Everywhere else but in California a re-
union of the Democracy is taking place -
The Illinois Douglas Representatives. co-ope-
rated with the Administration Representa-
tives of the Whole country, in the vote for
Speaker, and the tone Of the public press
generally is for reunion of the Democracy.
The sentiment is that by-gones should be by
cones, and that the mistaken policy Of Mr..
Buchanan on the Kansas question should no
longer be permitted to operate agains;
the harmony of the party. But, here, in
California there are certain selfish politicians
who are afraid Of losing certain tricks which
they think they hold in their hands, and 50
are resolved that there shall be no full and
free expression Of the Democratic sentiment
of the state. They prefer that the present
divided condition Of things should be kept
up, in order that they may work the wires
and the whole machinery Of the Administers
ton organization to their own advantage
We consider such men, and they must be
SO considered, it seems to us, by all right
thinking men, as hostile to the best interests
of the Democracy and the Union. Wh"V
worse enemy conld the party have than he
who would keep it divided Divided, too.
at such crisis as this in the political histo
ry of the country
1t is important that the entire Democracy
should be represented in the Charleston
Convention, in order that a man may be
nominated who will be acceptable to the en-
tire Democracy What sense there is in ex
Guiding any portion of the party from voice
in that Convention it is indeed difficult to
see.
BY full participation in the elections for
delegates, every member Of the party is
pledged to the support of the Charleston
nominee, and thus entire harmony effected.
But, with no voice in those elections, what
obligations are excluded Democrats under to
vote for the nominee. They may, if they
like, vote for a third man.
How long these wire.workers of the Ad-
ministration will keep up this division in the
ranks of the party we know not. The peo-
pie can counteract them if they will
Whether they will or not remains to be
seen

THREE RATS IN a Row.-Our friend Glassen
who keeps Just below us.-set a steel trap
Tuesday night for rats, and yesterday morn
ing he found three in row, all finely
squeezed to death in the compressed jaws of
the trap. How they all three happened to
Light on the trigger at once is mystery
Such n thing would not happen once in a
thousand years.
Speaking OF rats reminds US that not very
long ago, "A mouse was found dead in a small
empty bottle in one Of the drug stores in this
city. A runIber of bottles were stuffed in a
box Of straw and a grain or two Of wheat
was in one of them. II was evident that the
mouse had gone in after the wheat Going
in was very easy hut getting out was a diff
ferent affair. The slant of the glass from the
neck Of the bottle prevented the little verdent
from getting any hold with his claws SO rs to
reach the narrowing point at the neck. Ac
cordingy he persisted of starvation. The
vain exertions which he made to get out may
be imagined but not described This is the
FIRST instance We have ever known OF a
mouse loosing his life 10y resort to the bot
tie. With men the catastrophe is much more
frequent.

Four Men Drowned IN TUNxEL-A ter
rible accident, says the Nevada Democrat
occurred on Saturday last near Grass Valley,
by which four men were drowned in tun-
mel. The names of the unfortunate men were
Francis hampshire, Christopher Mathews, Al
exander Jeffrey and Patrick McGraw. They
were at work with six others in the claims OF
Fricot 1t Co., on New York Hill A shaft
had been sunk to the depth of 1875 feet, and
the work was carried on by means of a drift
from the bottom Of the shaft. The workmen
unexpectedly cut through into some old
works above them, when flood of water
broke in, filling the drift and shaft to con
siderable height, almost instantly. Six Of
the workmen managed in some way to esoane
up the shaft, but the other four were drown
ed. Their bodies were got out of the drift
about noon on Monday, and an inquest wa,
held by Justice Haywood, of Grass Valley
