KING COPPER. Calaveras is about to se-
cede from the rule Of King G old and place
her neck under the yoke of King Copper. AT
this moment all other eXcitements pale before
the copper MANIA literally, every man you
meet has his "pockets full of rocks" and acids
to digest them. All our huctuating popula-
ton tends towards the western side of Bear
Mountain. Copperopolis is becoming the CEN
ter of business, and rapidly advancing in
population and wealth. A month ago it con
tained a frame house or two, a blacksmith
shop and n large canvas tent store all else
was in the woods. Now, we hear of lots be-
ing sold in the town limits at prices ranging
from $50 to 5000. They will soon have un-
der way a frst-slass hotel, billiard saloons,
stores and all the concomitants of a thriving
mining camp six miles below. in the neigh
borhood of Hog Hill and Skaters store, things
are advancing with the same astonishing
rapidity. In every direction the prospectors
are striking new veins Of mineral, and all
seem to be confident that their new discove
ries IRE rich and valuable We have seer
specimens of ore from many of these claims
and they really look as favorable for perma-
nent and profitable mines as the specimen:
which come from Copper Canon. Develop
ments on several of these new veins have
been made as far to the north Inward as the
Mokeumne river, and the excitement RACES
now with almost as much violence in the Vi
cinity of Campo Seco, Poverty Bar, Jenny
Lind and Spring Valley as it does i'll the dis
tricts where the first discoveries were made
The entire country west of Bear Meuat in to
the plains, seems to be "coppered, and will
doubtless. in the course of II few months, be
as crowded with mining adventures as the
canons and gulches on this side of the noun
tain were during the flush times of gold min
ing operations.-SG AadreaS independent.
TIMOTHY TwcoMB ON WoMAN's RtGHrs--I
suppose that those who maintain that wo-
man has no natural organs and aptitudes for
singing bass, would say that she has no ma
tural organs and apttudes for boxing and
playing at ball. Just because woman holds
her fists wrong side up, as if she were knead-
ing bread rather than flesh, it is claimed that
she was not made for the "manly art Of self
defence" and from the wholly incompetent
facts that she cannot throw q ball three feet
arniust mort h-u-pst wind and :
not as fleet as a deer it is Judged that she ha,
no right to engage in bass ball. But, sup
pose all women had been accustomed to box
ing and playing ball as much as the men
have been; would they not have arrived at
corresponding excellence? | know that at
women are now (and they please me exceed
ingly( they have not the muscle to chit from
the shoulder" with force sufficient to make
them formidable antagonists and | am aware
that they lack something in the length OF
limb requisite for the rapid locotion of the
ball-gfound, but they have never had a
chance. See what the washer women have
done for themselves They seem TO be a sep
arate race Of beings, for they all have large
arms, and shoulders that would do honor to
Tom Sayers. | have seen negro slave-wo-
men at work in the field, with a muscular
development that would be the envy of a
Bowery boy. The wosher-woman and the
ield-slave show what can be done by cult
vation. | know that their style of figure is
not quite so attractive as have seen, and
know that wherever there is an eXtraordina-
nv tax upon muscle there is an extraordinary
repression of mind and bunting of the sensi-
bities but it must be remembered that we
are talking about rights, now. j claim and
maintain Il may as well come out with the
whole of it), that a woman has a right to do
any thing she chooses to do, with perhaps
the unimportant exception of becoming the
father of family.
In the matter of rights, I suppose that
should not differ materially with any strong
minded woman but have always observed
that the most truly logable humble, pure
hearted, God fearing and humanity loving
women of my acquaintance, never say any
thing about these rights and scorn those o
their sex who do.
lr is odd as true, that the poorer our city
lane and alley population are, the more pets
in the shape OF parrots puppies, cats anC
monkeys they keep. Often [ have scarcely
known whether to laugh or cry when, upol
opening the door of some miserable den
scarcely large enough to contain rickety
bed and chair, my ears and heels have beef
at once assailed by the paws and lungs 0
these creatures. On the whole, l think
have felt more like crying, as | thought tina
even in these miserable places the great neeC
of loving something, and having something t.
love, can never, 10y the lowest surrounding
of degradation, be utterly extinguished The,
whomthe werld repuliates the poor duml
creature looks up to, and without question
ing his antecedents. Philosophers have tolC
us that the frmest fIiends are they who ar
chosen from our interiors. Whether this is
compliment to or satire upon human nature
