APPEAL TO THE PIsToL AND KNIFE-The
Sacramento News, commenting on the late
homicides, says;
The appeal to the knife and the pistol to
redress real or fancied wrongs is to be re-
GREETED, but from time immemorial has. and
always will be, pursued in cases of invasion
OF marital rights. The act of Tiernan, inasr
much as the use of the pistol, in nine cases
out of ten, on public thoroughfare, results
in personal injury to innocent parties, is most
censurable, and should be checked by strict
enforcement of the law. In regard to the
culpability or ju'tifability of Smith in the
homicide of Newell, the facts of the case, as
developed by judicial investigation, can
alone determine. If, as is alleged, the de-
ceased had been guilty as charged, there are
not many true men in California who will
not regard the act as justidable. One thing
is certain, that so long as men will either by
word or deed taint the sanctity of the mari
tai relation. so long may we be prepared to
read accounts of homicides and murderous
assaults.

WINE DOES GooD.-rhe editress of the fe-
male department of the California Farmer
Mrs. Warren, says wine does good, some
times, and shows how. She says:
individual opinions are not worth much
however, we will give ours, viz: That wine
does one good who lives principally on ami
NAL food highly seasoned, uses tobacco, and
drinks tea and Coffee because it helps to feed
the fire that is burning him up, and the
sooner the work is eonsummated the better
as humanity is always degraded by the moral
atmosphere of a man who makes a god of his
belly 1t does a man harm whose dietetic
habits are in accordance with physiological
Jaws, because it is poison to him, and ere
ates a morbid condition. 1t does more harm
than good in the aggregate. because it is a
poison, and consequently cannot be assmila-
ted as blood, bone, and muscle"

PoIsoSED.-The physicians. employees and
several of the patients of the Marine Hospital
were affected last Saturday, says the Alta,
in manner that led some to supposition
that poison had been administered A cheni-
cal analysis was made of the water, by Dr.
Lind and Mr. Woodbridge, which resulted in
discovering a strong solution of lead, and
which is accounted fol by the fact of there
being several pipes, of that metal, in the
building. We learn that to-day all have re-
covered, and that no unfortunate results are
likely to take place from the poison. Lead
pipes should never be placed where the
water flowing through them is used for
drinking, as there is always danger from the
.oxydisation of the metal, and frequent dis
astrous results have accrued from using
water thus derived.

The County FARM PLAN.-Some time since
says the Bee, We suggested the procurement
of liberal tract of land, and the location
thereon of the City and County Hospital
The present law allows the purchase of land
to the extent of one hundred and sixty acres.
which would be ample for the purpose and
yet none too large. The Ledger, published
at jackson, recommends the adoption of the
plan in Amador county, and for similar rea-
sons; economy and increased usefulness and
thoroughness. AS the Ledgers remarks are
suggestive, and may lead our people to think
OF the matter, we append them;
"a law of last winter provides that the
Board of Supervisors in any county may
change the County Hospital into County
lntrmary,' and for that purpose purchase
farm not exceeding l60 acres in extent. The
Hospital grounds in this county embrace II
acres, portion of which is rich bottom land ;
and it has been suggested that under the In
Urinary system the institution might be made
self sustaining, or nearly so. This idea, we
understand, is entertained by the Board of
Supervisors but that body will not be likely
to take action until the subject shall have
been thoroughly discussed before the people,
1t is question worthy the attention of the
people. In other words, the Supervisors
should be seconded in their efforts to reduce
the Hospital expenses, and at the same time
provide for a class (aged, decrepit, etc. who
are not admitted as INDECENT sick. In this
connection, it is proper to state that last year
the expenses of providing for the INDECENT
sick was $500, and that this year it was re-
duced to SS700. Under the infirmary prin-
ciple, larger farm than the present one
would eventually be required but for pres
ent purposes it is sufficient, and with proper
care will double in value within two years.
We see no reason to prevent the success of
the infirmary plan, and shall be glad to hear
from any tax payer of the county who may
feel disposed to express his views through the
medium of our columns"

THE RAIsINs DlsrRIor OF CALIFoRNIA.-The
Alta says;
Some specimens Of raisins made from the
Los Angeles grape at Yisalia, in Tulare coun-
ty, by Mr.. Thomas Goodale and by him sent
to us, lead one to believe that Tulare county
is destined to take the lead on this coast for
the productions of raisins Those which he
has sent us are at least superior to any other
Californian raisins which we have seen, and
they compare very favorably in flavor with
the best imported. They are not SO large as
the largest of the Malaga raisina, but they are
as large as the average Let the people OF
Tulare county be encouraged to give the
raisin business a thorough trial. We would
advise them TO try foreign varieties as well as
the Mission grapes There are several kinds
Of grapes specially valued for raisins but we
do not remember the names of all of them at
present. They can be obtained of Mr.. Del
mas, of San Jose, and probably from many
other nurserymen in the State One Of these
raisin grapes is the Black Morocco, which ha,
very large berry, with thin skin and q
thick pulp so that the berries, when dried
are always of good size.

versary in a rough and tumble fight, and was
well loaded with fluid free soil. lie was
standing in the middle of the street on the
narrow plank crossing, when lady attemp-
ted to pass on one side of him, but doggy en-
tirely ignored her presence, and she then es-
sayed the other side with no better success,
when, annoyed at his obstinacy. she stepped
boldly up TO him with the air of one saying,
We'll, if you won't turn either way, get oil
the plank entirely Doggy now seemed, for
She first time, to be aware of her existence,
and evidently taking the lady's last move as
an offer to split the difference, coolly dropped
his head and deliberately PASSED between
her feet and came out under her ample skirts
behind, leaving a liberal supply of corpora
ition backing behind him. A laugh from the
bystanders greeted doggy on his appearance
in the rear, while the expression of the lady's
face, as she saw the condition of her cloth
ing, can better be imagined than described.

THIs ALL GOES FOR NoTmNG.-It is related
of that singular but gifted man, John Ran
dolph. that being, as was supposed, upon his
death bed, several persons who had been his
enemies called upon him to offer acts of kind
ness. Among others of these were the late
John G. Calhoun. who desired a reconciliation
with Randolph before his death, especially
for its political benefits. Randolph received
him kindly, accepted his proffers of sympathy
and freely forgave him for his previous oppo-
sition, and accepted an amicable settlement of
oil difficulties.
Calhoun was delighted with this manifes-
tation of kindness, but what was his surprise
when on taking leave of the exhausted and as
it was supposed, dying Randolph, the latter
called him back to his bedside with this ex-
clamation "Now, Calhoun, remember, if |
get well, all this goes for nothing" He did
get well, and took an active part in politics,
but never spoke to Calhoun again during the
balance of his days. 1t did all 60 for moth

Covert SAnRE.-The San Francisco Her
aid has the following about Senator Latham
In recent issue of this paper we said that
we dsbelieved the report that Mr.. Latham
had arrogantly represented California as oc-
cupying a sectional position in the Union
and we gave evidence which we thought
would be conclusive to every unprejudced
mind, that his language had been misunder-
stood. Wear enabled to-day to offer addi-
tional evidence that the dispatches to the
associated press" were incorrect. In an
other column will be found some interesting
political correspondence, in which the posi-
tion of Representative Burch is sharply de-
fined. We have the authority of Mr.. Burch
tor saying that Mr. Latham has seen and
approves bis letter.
1t will be seen that Mr. Burch's letter was
written in the month of December,* so it is
evident that Mr.. Latham has been foully
wronged. Mr. Latham is not Black Repub-
NcGn, but a Democrat. If he was born at the
North, he at least ives educated at the South,
so may be said to represent both sections OF
the Union. Besides, he is a gentleman of
generous blood and warm impulses and in
s:incts; he is selfsacrificing and self-denying
TO fault and it is impossible that he would
represent any particular section of the Con-
federacy to the disadvantage of the ether.
*Since the foregoing was written we find
that the letter of Mr. Burch, approved by
Mr.. Latham is dated November 22d, Just be-
fore the news of the result of the election in
California reached Washington.

A Dawning Sense.

At last it has dawned upon the slow,
obtuse and over-iudulgent Northern mind, !,
that it is very foolish to be petting, pro-
tecting and fostering that element in the
South which is employed most effectively
against the Government; that it is idle to
declare dumb ships and dead acres con6s-
eated, while doing nothing about property
that can think, talk, dig trenches and tight.
The simple absurdity Of this appears to
have struck many minds at once--the
folly Of longer upholdins and strengthen
ing the only element of the Southern pop-
ulation that gives the rebellion formida.
