TIE FARMER's WIFE.-Is there any posi-
tion mother can covet fol- her daughter more
glorious than to be the wife of an honest, in
dependent, happy farmer, in a country like
this To be the wife of one who is looked
up TO by his neighbors as one whose example
may be safely followed-one whose farm is
noted far and nearas model of neatness and
perfection of cultivation To be the mistress
of mansion all her own, that may be the
envy of the passer by, because it is neat and
comfortable-a sweet, lovely cottage home
To be the angel that fits through the gar
den, bidding flowers bloom, and twining
roses and honeysuckles around the bedroom
or sweetest smiles or spreading the snow
white cloth beneath the old oak at the door
to welcome her husband as he returns from
his toll; or ever tripping the cradle with her
foot, as she plies the dasler with her hand
or busily moves the needle, at the same time
humming joyous song of praise that she is
the happy and fondly.loved wife of an Amer
lean farmer, one of the true noblemen of thi.
country-one that should by rights rank as
the pride and glory of America.

CONGRESSMAN BUHoH-A PACIFIC REpUBLIo
The Nevada Transcript thus aluds to Burch's
letter:
On the 22d October, at Washington Citv
our Congressman, Hon. John c. Burch, who
had not been spending his vacation among his
constituents, addressed a letter TO @ r.
Streeter, Esq, of San Francisco, in which he
recommended, in the event of dissolution of
the Union, the creation of grand Pacific Re.
public. The Lincoln and Douglas papers of
the State have criticised this letter. without
mercy, and some of them go so far as to poke
fun at Mr. Burch, himself. Now, this is scarce
ly fair. On the 22d of November, Mr.. Burcb.
not having then learned the result of the cleo
ton in California, but imagining that the
State had gone in the direction predicted bv
Senator G win, and being, moreover,surround
ed by disunionsts and deafened by disunion
clamors, very naturally supposed that the
Union was gone, hook and line, and. lust as
naturally, supposed that Pacific Republic
was the very thing that California waited -
The letter of Mr. Burch would have fitted
events exactly, had the State gone for Breck.
inridge as Overwhelmingly as it went for
lincoln. The error of Mr.. Bureh was. in
writing his letter before hearing the election
news from California.

INSANITY ABRoAD.-A big John Chinaman
named All lie, says the S. f. Mirror, who has
for some time past been in the insane asylum
but was recently taken out by a Chinese
co spany, under promise of sending him to
his friends in the celestial Kingdom-escap-
ed from the room in which he was confined,
and with a heavy chain dangling at his heels
rushed up Sacramento street and along
Stockton soaring good church-going folks
by his strange bearing and incoherent CAB
bling. His course was soon stayed by po-
lice officer, who took him to the city prison /;
and he has since been delivered to his Chi

SUNSHINE AND Notwithstanding
the financial crisis, says Philadelphia cor
respondent of the San Francisco Mirror, and
the threatened revolution in the South, the

A QuEsTIoN.-Some of our Breckenridge
friends pretend to laugh at the strength of
Douglas, saying that he only carried one
State and part of another They forget the
remarkable fact, however, that he received
nearly double as many votes in the Union as
Breckenridge or Bell. If his party, like those
of either Lincoln or Breckinridge, had been
of a sectional character and confined to one
particular portion of the Union, he would
have carried as many States, perhaps, as Lin
coin, and twice as many as Breckenridge or
Bell. Unluckily (?) for him, he was sup
ported by national party. and hence his
friends were too much scattered being spread
all over the nation. Such defeat is more
glorious than Lincoln victory, or such a
victory as would have been that of Breckin-
ridge had he been elected.
But Douglas carried but one and hall
States Well, would Buchanan have carried
even part of one single State in the entire
nation, if, after his nomination, the friends Of
Douglas had bolted and nominated and sup
ported another candidate? Not one The

the election returns of 1885, is Foofoo, po-
litically speaking. Courier.

LAND TITLES AT RED BLUFF-The follow
ing card appears in the Independent:
Permit me through your columns to correct
a statement made in your paper of to-day.
wherein you say that 1--WE are happy in re-
eor1ing the fact, that the litigation which has
so long existed between j. G. Doll and the
settlers Of Red Bluff, is at last adjusted" hc.
am happy to say that it is not so that the
matter is no nearer settled now than it was
weeks ago. 1t is true that some of the par
ties have compronised but this has been
done through policy, and not that they con-
sidered the case lost, or in anywise impaired.
And further, there are yet great many of
the settlers, that have not compromised, and
there is no probability of their doing so.-
They have entered for the full term of the
war, and we will ever be found at our post.
So you will see that there are great many
standing out against Mr.. Dolls claims be-
sides the humble signer of this article.

"OHl do wish was man Wouldn't

such was the aspiration of French woman
who several years ago in Amador county,
put on garments after the style of men and
went to mining. She has been diligent and
saving, and it is said that she is now the
owner of large mining property on French

Found HER AFFINITY 1t is said that Miss
Munson, the trance lecturer on Spiritualism,
has found her affinity She found home in
family at North San Juan, Nevada county,
and so improved her opportunity and spread
her doctrines that the real wife and mother
was compelled to leave-the husband and
head of the family having proven to be the
affinity" of the peripatetic trance lecturer
Placer Herald.
The above, we certainly think, is grave
mistake, inasmuch as Miss Munson and the
lady alluded to have been, since her separa-
tion from her husband, on the most friendly
terms, travelling together and everywhere
most intimate Besides, the "wife" is not
"mother," for she has no children.
Our contemporary, of the Herald, is uncon-
sciously inhicting, we think, an undeserved
injury upon the reputation of female, who
is at least innocent in the case mentioned,
and so far as we know altogether innocent of
anything similar.
If the rumor, above spoken Of be, as we
are pretty sure it is, untrue. it ought, by all
means, to be corrected, and at once.

%HER INDEPENDENCE Carolina has

But awe arc inclined to think our cotempora-

he says:
Her independence win not be aeknowl-
edged, nor her representatives, received, by
any government in christendom, until after
she is acknowledged Independent by the gov
ernment of the United States. The Presi-
dent has no power to surrender the forts, nor
can he make any arrangements relative to a
division of property and the public debt
without the assent Of Congress. Mere mega
tive action, a refusal to treat with her COM
missioners, is all that will be necessary to
keep South Carolina in the Union, until such
time as the general government deems it
policy to allow the State to secede. AS yet,
South Carolina can hardly be said to have
made beginning towards the establishment
of an independent government.
