LARGE D1rcu ENrGRrnIsE.-A ditch COM
pany has been organized in Placer with a
capital of 500 900, says the Auburn signal,
to continue in existence forty-nne years, for
the purpose of conducting the water of the
North Fork of the American river to the
mioing region lying between that stream and
the Middle Fork Of the American. The wa
ter is to be taken out of the river at the
mouth of Sailors Canon, and will reach the
top of the divide near the Forks House
Should the company succeed in completing
the ditch, the large supply water thus fur
nished for mining and agricultural purposes
upon the divide will make that large district
of Placer county the most productive of any
part of the State. 1t is even now perhaps,
producing more gold than any other district
of mines of the same extent of territory, and
if furnished with a full supply of water,
would support ten times the population that
it now contains.

instructions, when President Uaworh an
nounccd the time for starting.
FIRST HEAT-Cbarlotte Cushman had the
inside, Sim Oldham I'd, Kate Seaward 3d.
and Capitola 4th.
They got well Off together on the first
trial. Charlotte Cushman shot ahead at the
first turn, and jostled her rider out of the sad
die but the little fellow stuck well, making
about a quarter of a mile astride the mares
shoulders, and then reganing his position on
the saddle without losing his position in the
race, Abo1t the half mile pole, however,
Charlotte fell rapidly behind and barely
saved her distance at the outcome. The
other three nags ran very closely together
around the course, Capitola winning tho heat
by half length over Sim oldham, and Kate
Seaward being only two or three lengths be-
hind. Time Of lst heat, l;52I.
SECOND HEAr.-At the tap of the drum the
horses started very evenly but Capitola soon
took the lead, and kept it to the score, max
ing the heat in 1884, and winning the race
and purse. Sim oldham was Cd, Charlotte
Cushman Sd, and Kate Seward 4th.
Every body seemed pleased with the race,
and we expect to see Everybody" present at

SENATOR MoDouGALL-We are perfectly
satisfied says the Shasta Courier, with Gen
McDougall. We have the utmost confidence
in his honesty. We bell eve, without the
shadow of doubt lingering upon our mind,
that he will adhere to the Democracy as long
as the vital spark fingers in his proverbia!ly
generous heart We believe that no man
has right to doubt his fealty to the party
sn which he has been reared from his boy
hood, whose battles he has helped to fight
since early manhoo} to whom he is indebted
for the proud bays which encircle his honor
ed brow. And we also believe that, in these
expressions of confidence, we give utterance

SOUND. The Democratic State Central

public men few weeks ago encouraged an
lmhecile administration in tamely succumbing
to lncipient treason which has since attained
such stal vart proportions.
IT Is the duty OF the Committee to issue an
address reviewing the questions now agita-

FINDING FAULT.-It is at times necessary
to censure and punish, but very much more
may be done by encouraging children when
they do well. Be, therefore, more careful
to express your appreciation of good conduct
than your disapprobation of bad. Nothing
can more discourage child than spirit Of
incessant faut-fnding on the part of lis pa,
rents; and hardly anything can exert
more Injurious influence upon the DISPOSE
tion both of the parent and child. There
are two great motives influencing human
astions--hope and fear. Both of these are
at times necessary. But who would not
prefer to haYe her child influenced to good
conduct by desire Of pleasing rather than
by the fear of ofending7 Ifa mother never
expresses her qualification when her children
do well, and is always censuring them when
she sees anything. amiss, they are dis.
couraged and unhappy, their dispositions
become hardened and soured by this cease
less fretting and, at last, finding that
whether they do well i'll, they are equally
found fault with, they relinqush all ef-
forts to please and become needless Of re.

THE Economy OF HgALTH.-Thi busy nation
of Americans have 12,0O0,OOO working people,
whose service may be estimated at 81 day, and
tn ir annual loss by sickness at average of ten
days each in the year. This is total loss of
S240, 100000 sum three times as large as the
whole cost Of General Government including the
Army, Navy. Post Offices, lie gislators, Foreign
Ministers and all. The amount over six hundred
tons in pure gold.
A large portion of this costly suffering might
be averted by the attention to diet cleanliness and
obove all, by the proper use of the right remedy
in season. When IS cent box of Ayers Pills
will aver9 an attack of illness which it would take
several days to recover from, or dollar bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, will expel lurking disorder
that would bring the sufferer to his back for weeks
or months, does it take any figures to show the
good economy of the investment? When Favor
and Ague is ranking in your veins and shaking
your life out of you, it is worth the dollar it costs
for his AGUE CURE to have the villainous disorder
expelled, which it does surely and quickly7 When
you take cold it is prudent to wait until it has
settled the lungs. vhen days or weeks or
months be spent in trying to cure it, even if it
can be cured at all, it is cheaper to take Ayers
Cherry Pectoral, costing few shillings and re-
the trouble before it is serious7 It takes no
wisdom to decide.
