Now, sir, you say that the two melodies
are the same, but different; now what do
you mean By that, sir?''
To this Tom promptly answered: 81 said
that the notes in the two copies were alike,
but with different accent, the one being in

A CALL FOR UNION CoNvEYTIoF

At meeting of the Union Democratic Central
Committee. held in Shasta Wednesday, tie 9th
inst, the following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted;
WHEREAS, In the language of the Hon. Stephen
A. Douglas. whoever is not prepared to sacrifice
party organizations and platforms on the altar of
his country, does not deserve the support and eoun-
tenance of honest people. How are we TO oyer
come partisan antipathies in the minds of men of
all parties so as to present united front in sup
port of our country? We must cease discussing
party issues, saks no allusons to old party tests,
have ordinations and recriminations indulge in
no taunts one against the other as to who has been
the cause of these troubles. When we shall have
rescued the Government and country from its per-
lis, and the flag floating in triumph every
inch of American soil, it will then be time enough to
inquire as to who and what brought these troubles
upon US. When we shall have country and a
Government for our children to live in, in peace
and happiness it will be time for each of us to re-
turn to our party banners according to our own
convictions of right and duty. Let him be marked
true patriot who will not abandon all such
issues in times like these "
And WHEREAS, The Union Democratic State
Central Committee, in their resolutions of
May Sth, 1861, use the following languages That
all former partisan differences are lost in the pres
ent overwhelming crisis; and he who would seek,
by reviving them TO distract the people, or to wrest
from their honest and patriotic devotion some sor-
did advantage is not true to the country, nor yor-
thy of the name of American citizen. That as Cal
ifornians. appeal to the whole people of Caifor-
MIA, without distinction of party or reference to
partisan issues, to stand with us by our country
and our fag;''
Ana WHEREAS, The Committee, believing that
these sentiments true, and that there Is the
same aecessity for such appeal to day as there
was when those resolutions we're penned, therefore,
be it unanimously

:. Clothed in Her Own chastity,

Probably few of those who have admired
Tennyson's beautiful version of Lady Godiva,
are aware that her famous deed is celebra,
ted still in Coventry, England. The Phila-
delphia Press has an interesting article on
the subject. We make an extract.n
Very few modern readers are familiar
with the writings of Matther, of Westmin.
ster, gentleman who wrote in Latin. five
hundred and fifty years ago. Otherwise they
would know that he first related the legend Of
Lady Godiva how Leofric, Lord of Mercia,
and his wife Godiya, founded Benedictine
privory. in what now is called Coventry

earl overtaxed the town which arose around
the privory how she obtained from him a
promise of the remission of this tax. proyi.

streets; how she did so, as Tennyson SAYS,

ed to look at the lady on her strange Jour

by the powers who guard the good how the
tax was remitted. and how, from the reign of
Charles ii, at the great trienal fair in Trim.
ity week, there is grand Lady Godiva pro-
cession. in which, within our own memory,
the Mayor and corporation attended in their
flowing robes of state. The time we saw the
procession, a beautiful lorette, imported from
the adjacent town of Bennington, rode
white charger from Ducrow's circes, and ex-
cept that she was attired in flesh colored
tights, wore no apparel, though she had
wig with great number of rippled ring
let's which were supposed to veil her, as
did those of the fair Godiva. By her side
pranced coal black steed, on which sat a
circus rider arrayed as st. George of Eng.
land, .Odd though it may appear, this pro
cession drew over half million of specta-
tors. There was a band of music, with a
fanoiful following of the city trades, who all

from the identical place, 1t Is said, where the
prying tailor peered at Leofric's wife. At
all events. there the wooden statue is plainly
and roughly carved, to show the upper part
of man half out of a window and his cos
tune of the period, as Mrs. farley would
say. is triennally renewed, in many huged
pigments, at the triennial expenses of the
corporation.
Many attempts have been made to put
down this Lady Godiva exhibition, and
more than once the third year has been al
lowed to pass without it. This year, how
ever, it is to take place with unwonted gran
deur. Mailed knights and gentle danes are
to escort Lady Godiva. The trades are to
come out very strong In various ways. In
fact every trade will be faneifully and fantas-
tically represented"

express his most sincere gratitude TO DR., L. :.
Czapkay for the permanent recovery of his health
Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident
to the yieioEs practices of uncontrollabe passion
in youth, depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifing duty imposed by the
daily ayocations of life, sought the advice of ma
ny physiciars Eho at first regarded my discase as
of trifing importance but alas, after few weeks,
snd in several instances months of their treatment,
l found, to my urutterable horror that instead of
relief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their tortare and being told ny one that my dis
case being principally confined to the brain, medi
cine would be of little consequence, despared Of
eyer regaining my health strength and ensEgy; and
as last resort, and with bnt faint hope, called
upon DIR. Czapkay, who after examining my case,
prescribed some medicine, which almost instantly
relieyod me of the dull pain and dizziness in ~
head. Encouraged by the result, 1 resolved to
place self under his care, and, by strict obedi
ence to all his instructions and advice, my head be-
came clear my ideas collected the constant pain in
my back and groins, the weakness Of iny Limbs, the
