THE PRIZE FIGHT.-The much talked OF
prize fight, between Tracy and Blackwood,
was to have taken place near Storms ranch,
at two O'Clock this afternoon. Tracy left
Nevada yesterday afternoon, in barouche,
for the locality selected. There has been
considerable betting on the result of this
fight, though we have not heard of any very
large sum having been staked 1T is not
anticipated that any attempt will Ue made
by the officers to interfere with the fight; but
if any officers should make their appear
ance on the,ground, it was the intention of
the parties to cross Bear river, and fight in
Placer county. We have not heard of many
persons having left for the fight, but large
number started for Grass Valley this morning

be had at the livery stables.

WHERE TO FIND IT-Dr. Cumming, in his
letter to DR.. Scott, modestly protests that he
claimed no merit for originality in his work on
Daniel from which DR.. No. 2 plagiarised.-
Originality either in the poetical or prose walks
of literature, it is well known, is scarceAwe had
almost said, commodity. Well, since it is mar
ketable, we do say commidity. But, if the rea-
der wishes to ss mark down much that is not on
ly truly original, but in some instances incom-
prehensibly sublime, we advise him to pick up
the daily papers bearing date first or second of
January. The cold year is ceremented in gold
fringed Grape, and tiie " New" ushered IN with
an army of tropes and whirl-a-ma- -jiggers.-
We have shed tears over one or two of these af-
fecting articles, because we chanced to be eating

REASONABLE REauEsr.-The Pony news rep
resents Bob Toombs, y. S. Senator from Geor
gia, as saying
'If the Republicans in Congress, or even
majority, will vote for an amendment to the fifth
article of the Constitution, TO insure its execu-
ton, final action at the South would be withheld.
But if the North -efuses to repeal the Personal
Liberty Bills, he urges Georgia to secede at least
by the fourth of March,"
Toombs doubtless refers to the last clause of
the fourth article Of the Constitution, which
Germs the delivery up of "persons held to service
or labor" and not the fifth, which is merely di-
rectory of the manner in which that instrument
is to be amended. No request could be more
reasonable. Indeed, we are of opinion that the
power of the Government, in some form, without
amending the fourth article of the Constitution,
ought to be used to enforce the Constitution it
stands.

CHINESE TESTIMoNY.-We think the Legis-
lature of this State did very wise thing when
it passed an act forbidding the testimony of a
Chinaman to be given as against white man.
The Chinese are idolators, having the fear of no
other than a wooden god before their eyes, very
lax in their general morality, and, to it in a
word, a nation of most unmitigated liars
The Appeal speaks of one All Tuck, resident
ofthis place, who followed ST Ho to Marysville
and had her arrested on charge of stealing $50
of his money. The case was examined before
Justice Merrill. The Appeal says:
"Ah Tuck's witnesses swore roundly to the
facts of the case, how he staid at ST Hos all
night, and found himself minus $65 in the morn
ing. and 81 Ho paid him back $40; and, the
other hand, the efriends of the frail China vessel
swore, with equal distinctness that All Tuck nev-
er came into 81 Hos house, neither he nor any OF
his witnesses"
Now, how are such scoundrels to be believed,
who not only have no scruples about misrepre-
senting things to white men, but swear falsely to
defraud and injure people of their own race =
These vermin want to be winnowed out-drOve
out-or at least prevented hereafter from coming
in. They are terrible set of rascals.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

Is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes initiated, weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part oft. No organ is free from It's attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous faint is v~ariously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food,
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the venereal Infection.
Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution, descending "from parents to chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation; indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who says: Il will
visit the iniquities OF the fathers upon their chill
dren."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ~ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed tu-
bercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the sur
face, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption,
which genders in the blood, depresses the ener-
gies of life, so that scrofulous constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they
have far less power to withstand the attacks of
other diseases; consequently vast numbers perish
by disorders which, although not scrofulous in
their nature, are still rendered fatal by this faint
in the system. Most of the consumption which
decimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many de
structive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and
indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are az
gravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous,
their persons are invaded by this lurking infec.
ton, and their health is undermined by it. To
cleanse it from the system we must renovaJe the
blood by an Alternative medicine, and invigorate
it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine
we supply in

IntermitfcntFev Fever or Fever and Ague,
fkemittent Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb
lions Headache, and Bilious Fevers,
indeed far the whole class of diseases
originating IN Hillary derangement,
caused by the Malaria OF Miasnlatic
Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which. while it cures the above COM
plants with certainty, is still perfectly harmless
in any quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in
districts where these affecting disorders prevail.
This "Cure" expels the m~isasmatic poison of
Fever and Ague from the system, and prevents
the development of the disease, if taken ON the
first approach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t
is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest.
The large quantity We supply for a dollar brings
it within the reach OF everybody; and in bilious
districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, every
body should have it and use it freely both for cure
and protection. A great superiority of this
remedy cEer any other ever discovered for the
speedy and certain cure of Intermittents is that
it contains no QuiniLe or mineral, consequently
it produces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by
it are left as healthy as if they had never had the
disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasnatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hys-
terics, Pain in the Bowels. Colo, Paralysis and
Derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This Cure" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
inn nnioraufs and pPrSOnS TRAVELLING or femDorar1ly
residing in the malarious districts. Ii taken oc-
casionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and can
not accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into
disease. Hence it is even more valuable for pro-
lection than cure, and few will ever suffer from
I~ntermittents if they avail themselves of the pro-

Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla.

The most ~efectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing fatal malady. IL is combined from the
most active remedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of the foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its de-
structive consequences. Hence it should be en-
employed for the cure of not only Scrofula, but
also those other affections which arise from il,
such as Erupiive and Skin Diseases, st. AnthOny's
Fife, Rose. Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustuies, Blotch-

Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism,

pepsia, Debility. and, indeed. all Complaints
arising from Initiated or Impure Blood. The
popular beliefin "impurity of the blood" is found
ed in truth, for Scrofula is a degeneration of the
blood. The particular purpose and virtue of
this Sarsaparilla is to purify and regenerate this
vital fluid, without which sound health is impcs
sible in contaminated constitutions.
