ETHER IGNORANCE, WuFuL MIsREPREsENrN'
rloN OR BAD MEMORY The Marysville Express,
in referring to the disturbance at u Mcconnell
meeting in San Francisco, where Edmund Ran
dolph and others Of his ilk attempted to preach
treason, said "Never before since the Govern
ment had existence, has there been anything llko
the spirit manifested by these men." The Marys-
willie Agpeai, whose memory is better puts in the
following reminder;
The Frpress must have very poor memory
or 1t would have thought OF the contumely, abuse
aud violence dealt out by its party friends 10
Republicans few years ago, not merely at one
! place, but all over the State. 1t would have re
| membered that Democrats, some OF them promi-
nent men, broke up by the strong arm the first
! Republican meeting attempted to be held III sac
rameuto that Democrats hurled rottep eggs ut
! respectable cilizcns presiding at ReppoicaR
meeting in Marysvlle Wecould tell itof scores
of instances in California Nherein Republican
speakers were not allowed by De2oeratle moba
! to hold forth publicly, where dogs were set TO
! fighting and driven in front OF the speakers =
stand with whoop and halloo and wild bacchanal
shrieks, and where our orators nae 10 protect
themselves against bodily violence at the revolv-
er's point. Now that time has brought around
its revenges-that Republicans are in power, and
are the conservative, devoted guardians ana de'
tenders of that Government which Democratic
treason conspred to overthrow-now that tue
patriotism Of the masses is aroused to point OF
sensitiveness which will not permit them to listen
patiently to disloyal utterances, this same De
mocracy sets up its virtuous ouicry for frce
speech. Its chickens have come home TO roos''
but it refuses to recognize them
A similar instance Is remembered here Some
seven years ago, we think it was, a prominent
citizen of this place, for avowing Republican
principles, was egged in public hall in Weaver
Vile. People holding the same views as the Ma
rysville Express may have forgotten it, but Re-
publicans have not.

that delicate form. Once again the spoke of the
wheel slipped from the grasp of him who had it,
but fair jeweed hand arrested its progress, aud
STAYED the destruction which otherwise would
have followed its swerve from duty. Onward
sped the noble barque, and when darkness shut
the last rock from our sight, one deafening shout
rose high above the storm for her who had so
bravey guided us through the shadow OF death
She would receive no thanks for herself but
bidding us give thanks to Him whose voice

room, and was lost to view.
Around the cabin table that night, about an
hour before we entered the harbor of Montreal, we
learned her history. She was the daughter of the
merchant who owned the line of boats, one of
which she had Just saved from ruin. Her mother
died when she was child. and her father had
yielded to ber wishes, and allowed her to accom-
pauy him in the boat OF which he was captain
BY degrees she became acquainted with every
bend in that beautiful river, while calm aud storm
alike brought scenes of beauty to her eye. She
was now on her way to visit some friend in Que
bee, where her father proposed joining her to
spend the winter.

hand and her full length portrait still graees
the gallery of fine arts in Montreal. Many u
rough hand grasped the snowy fingers at parting,
and many blessing crowned that noble head
A magnigceut diamond bracelet, bearing upon
an inside plate the name OF the vessel and date
of the occurrence, was presented to her about u
week after her arrival ut Quebec, by the passen-
gers who were on board at the time, while loud
and triumphant were the praises borne to the
ears of fond parent of the noble conduct OF that
tral but fearless one who had braved the danger

quaed with a deadly sckening fear"

WANT OF DIsCERNMENT.-The utter want of
discernment in men placed at the head of COM
mittees in public undertakings, has bean too Oft
en- reiterated by the press of this State. As a
case in point we take the following item from the
San Juan Press:
Mr.. a. l.. French. of this place, has invented q
drilling machine which is destined to work a
complete revolution in the present mode of tun-
nelling. 1t will perform four or six times the
labor, in piercing solid rock at less than half the
expense now incurred, aud thus save thousands
OF dollars to mining companies besides enabling
them to complete heavy works in a comparatively
brief space of time. For the exhibition of such
machine, the freight on which, to and from
Marysville, would amount to perhaps ten or ff-
teen dollars the committee propose to award a
framed diploma! Per contra, the lady who sits
horse gracefully, aud dashes him around the
race track at the greatest speed, is to get fifty
dollars. The best piano forte is to take fifty dol
lars the best church organ, fifty dollars ; the
best broom ten dollars the best port monaie
(needle work. eight dollars for the best pulling
team of six horses, one hundred dollars best
peanuts five dollars.
The lists are open for competition to the in
ventors of quartz amalgamator, quartz crusher
tunnellng machine, mining pump, elevator
model,) water wheel, driving model) for models
of the rifle box, sluce rake, sluice fork, mining
pick, drilling machine, aud blasting apparatus
Whoever is decided to have exhibited the BEST
will be magnanimUusly rewarded with-a framed
diploma Inventive genius is here rated re-
markably high! No doubt there will be grand
struggle among such men as French, Low, Smith
(Franeis,) Matteson, Dunning, aud Others for the
| great honor of getting that diploma.

CHALLENGE OF THE GAL-MANT KNIGHrs.-The
Georgia Constitutionalist remarks "Did the in-
telgent men Of the North really expect that the
Southern gentlemen, who compose so large a
portion Of the Southern armies, would he such
soft headed Iotspurs as to sink the consciousness
of the vast difference between themselves and
the hirelng ragamutIins and vagrants and escap'
ed jail birds that form the staple of the invading
hosts that they were willing TO recognize these
yagabonds with knightly courtesy, aud invite
them to tits aud tournaments? Do they come
in the true spirit of knight errantry to test thelF
prowess with Southern chivalry, with measured
weapons, aud in an open arena, man 10 man. ana
eye to eyer"
We rather expect they do. The Con'ttu''onall't
(?) has already seen a few striking exhibitions OF
such intention, and Providence permltting these
"ragamufiins" aud jail BIRDS will perform the
grand finale before twelvemonth.

Statistics Of sickness.

Sixhundred thousand persons die in the United
States every year, six hundred thousand funerals
move in procession to the grave. aud three mil
lion mourners go about the streets.
This is the conclusion at which we must ar
rive, assuming the population of the country to
be only twenty five millions. (and 1t is doubtless
much more tbaG that. and applying 10 tkat popu-
lation the mean deathrate deduced from caleu-
lations.
The vital statistics of England show that for
each death there occur about twenty eight cases
of sickness. or two years of perpetual sickness.
From which it results that these six hundred
thousand deaths which take place in the United
States every year, are accompanied by sixteen
million eight hundred thousand cases of sickness,
or one million two hundred thousand ysars OF
sickness that is, one million two hundred thou
sand persons are perpetually sick.
Now every enlightened aud candid physician
will tell us that one half OF these deaths and one
bali this sickness is unnecessary and preventable
aud produced by the violation OF the laws oil
health, either in regard to the air we breathe
the food we eat, or the clothing we wear The
highest English authority upon physiology says
that the average annual mortality Of England
IS Just douole that to which ii might be reduc-
ed" by proper attention TO hygiene that only
$4,000 (of the annual deaths) are inevitable,
the remaining 1913, 900 being preventable
But so far as we have the data necessary for
making the comparison, it appears that the stand
ard of health and the length of life in this coun-
try are lower than in England; the mortality
there being about 22 in every 1000 Inhabitants
annually, while in the United States it is about
"a per 1000.
Therefore we may without exaggeration, as
sumo that one half Of the entire sickness and
mortality which prevails in the United States Is
avodable or, in other words, that not less than
three hundred thousand persons die unnecessary
aud preventable deaths every year.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHr SIDE.-Look on the bright
side of things. 1t is the right side. The times
may be hard, but it will make them no easier by
wearing u gloomy aud sad countenance. 1t is
the sunshine and not the cloud that makes the
flower. Full Que half our ills ere SO only ip i'm
agination. There is always that before of around
us which should cheer and fill the heart with
warmth. The sky is blue ten times where it is
black once. You have troubles it may be. SO
do others None are free from them Perhaps
it is as well that none should be. They give tone
and sinew to life fortitude aud courage to man.
That would be dull sea, aud the sailor would
never get skill, where there was nothing to dis
turb the surface of the ocean. 1t is the duty o!
every one to extract all the happiness and enjoy
ment he can, without aud within him aud above
all he should look on the bright side Of things
What though things look a little dark. The lane
will turn and the night land in broad day. In
The long run, aud very often in the short, the
great balance Of life rights itself
What is i'll becomes we'll; what is wrong, right.
Men were not made TO hang down their heads or
their lips, and those who do, only show that they
are departing from the path Of true common
sense aud right. There is more virtue in one
sunbeam, than a whole hemisphere of cloud aud
gloom, Therefore, we repeat, look on the bright i
side

How DO You LIKE THE PICTURE I've have
heard of persons in this section who were anxious
to obtain portrait of JEFF. Davis. Here is one,
painted by himself in an address delivered at
Faneul Hall, Boston, in 1885, when he used the
following language
Among culprits there is none more odious to
my mind than public officer who takes an oath
to support the Constitution-the compact be-
tween the States binding each for the common
defense and general welfare of the other-yet
retains to himself mental reservation that be
will war upon the principles he has sworn to
maintain. and upon the property rights, the pro-
lection of which are part of the compact OF the
Union. 1t is crime too low to be named before
this assembly, 1t is one which no man with self
respect would commit. To swear that he will
support the Constitution-to take an office which
belongs in many OF its relations to all the States,
and TO use it as means of injuring portion OF
the States, OF whom he is thus the representative,
is treason to everything honorable in man. 1t is
the base aud cowardly attack of him who gains
the confidence of another, in order that he may
wound him.

Why IRIsHMEN SHOULD FIGur.--Father Credon,
of Auburn, spoke as follows in his sermon a few
Sabbaths since
wish every man who can leave his family, to
enlist. This the first country the Irishman ever
had that he could call his own country. The flag
of the Stars and Stripes is the only flag he can
fight under and defend as his own flag, Now, in
the time of the nations peril, let every lrishman
show that he is worthy to be part of a great and
glorious nationality. Now, when the American
flag is bombaIded and struck down by traitors,
let every Irshman show that he is true to the flag
which always protects him. | want every Irish
man who hears me to enlist il he can. There are
two classes whom | most despise towards and
traitors and those who can enlist, and do not,
are either one or the other. ..
How do Irishmen who voted for Mcconnell at
the late election relish that bit of mind T.?
