! Coon AND BAD" IT'S an i'll wind that blows
nobody good ;" is an old saw we'll illustrated by
the immense quantities of rain that has fallen
during the past few weeks. Great losses of prop
erty have occurred along the large mining streams
in Trinity county, and we presume throughout
the State, but never before has there been so fa-
vorable season for working dry diggings.-
Claims that have remained idle for years are
now being worked, and the dry guch and hill
dggings are yielding rich harvests OF gold.
The season for this kind of mining is full two
months earlier than usual the mountains are
covered with snow, and there are favorable indi-
cations for long and successful seasons work.
Trinity county is fortunate in having inexhaus-
table fields of this species of mines, and we have
every belief that the gain from these mines the
present season will quite make up the amount
which will be lost from damage to river claims
and fixtures. Already we begin to have evidence
of this One day of last week Greenhood X
Newbauer kept their American and Chinese gold
dust purchases separate, for the purpose of not
ing the amount and character of gold sold by the
Chinese, who mostly work in the dry diggings in
and about the Weaverville basin. The receipts
of the day, from Cinnamon, were over $l,6OO.-
When it is remembered that this was bought in
small parcels, and from the Cinnamon who work
the refuse and dry claims near the town. we think
it a very encouraging omen for the success OF
this kind of mining the present season, and the
general prosperity of the county.

And as they brought,


To the babe they sought,
Sweet offerings OF praise
SO let us sing
To the Savior king,
Who with good has crowned our days.
May we not forget the example set
BY the earth-born Son of Heaven,
But give to the poor, around our door,
AS bounty to us is given
Christmas is here, and the bright New Year
Is following in its train
The fading night, and the breaking light,
Will mingle once again.
The year has past, like a rushing blast,
And many a strange, wild scene
OF lire, and food, and Wars red blood,
Has dimm'd its glorious sheen.
And many q soul has reachd the goal
OF the mystic, great unknown,
The glorious mind from its earth unshrin'd,
Has pass'd in its progress on.
God grant the career Of the coming year
May prove SO grandly bright
That it aye shall stand, mid its kindred ban(
Proeminent in light.

THE REVENUE LAw.-Under the new law, pass
ed at the last session OF the Legislature, the de-
linqueht tax list passes into the hands OF the
District Attorney, for prosecution, instead of the
property delinquent being sold by the sheriff, as
heretofore The new law is a jumbed-up, ndef-
mite affair, and should be re-modeled or repeal
ed by the present Legislature. Speaking OF that
portion of the law referring to delinquent taxes,
the Yreka Journal says:
I'VE, in common with numerous citizens, are
in favor of the repeal of the new delinquent law,
on the ground that its operation is an outrage on
the people, aliording no more revenue than the
old law for the county, and only beneiting Sher-
IFS and District Attorneys person who may
be sick. have an agent, or enjoying visit else
where, must be subjected to at least double his
tax. If not paid before certain time, nearly all

EDIroRs AND EssAYIsrs.--There are multtude5
OF people who can tcrite well for a newspaper,
but not many who can edH one. Many mistake
the business of an esssayist for that of q jour
nalst, believing that the merits OF Il newspaper
increase in proportion with the longitude and
number of original articles. They thrust before
the public too much of individual opinion, and
too little of the small details which reveal tho
work of the accomplished journalist, aud without
which tho newspaper Is little else than "a vehicle
for the writer's peculiar views. This would be
well enough if the writer were always capable
of instructing, originating great thoughts and
marking out the future course Of exploring mind

NEARER HOME.--
O'er the hill the sun is setting,
And the eve is drawing on;
Slowly droops the gentle twilight,
For another day is gone
Gone for aye--its race is over
Soon the darker shades will come
Still, tits sweet TO know at even,
We are one day nearer home.
"One day nearer" sings the mariner,
AS he glides the water DER,
While the light is softly dying
On his distant native shore;
Thus The Christian on life's ocean,
As his light boat cuts the foam,
In the evening cries with rapture,
81 am one day nearer home !"

ARNoLD.-The following acrostic on the name
of Benedict Arnold, containing the dercest in
vective of his treason, is ascribed to the pen of
his cousin, Oliver Arnold. 1t is unsurpassed in
bitterness
Born for u curse to virtue and mankind,
Earth 's broadcst realm ne'er knew so black mind,
Nights sable veil your crime can never hide,
Each one so great 'twould gnt historic tide.
DeIunct, your cursed memory will live,
In all the glare that inlamy can give.
Curses of all ages will attend your name,
Traitors alone will glory in your shame.
Almighty vengeance sternly waits to roll,
Rivers of sulphur on your treacherous soul,
Nature looks shudderlng back with conscious
dread
On such u tarnished blot as she has made
Let hell receive you, riyited in your chains
Doomed to the hottest focus Of the flames.
The individual who handed us the foregoing
called attention to the fact that in spelling the
above name the same number Of letters are en-
ployed as in spelling Jefferson Davis.

Irish servant Girls in America.

Irish servant maids, remarks the Boston Pilot,
are a class of women whom the journalists of this
country more frequently malign than praise.
| They are all poor some of them are entirely
uneducated; they are the daughters of an i'm
poverished island, and they are faithful Catholics
these are the principal reasons for which the
press of America-and through that press Ameri-
can sentiment-are bitterly turned against them.
There is no honor in such reasons ; but they are
covered with mmeasurable disgrace We are not
now claiming newspaper celebrity for these
women--though if they had money to give for l.,
this is the nation in which they could make large
purchases in that commodity-but we object to
the. unmanly abuse which is constantly flowing
over their heads English, Scotch, French and
Welsh females never provoke the newspaper
defamation and insults of the United States. All
the ribaldry is preserved for the daughters oi St
Bridget. 1t is true, that Irish girls would be
badly off If there were no America to come to-.
But this argument may be applied to England,
Spain and France, in regard to their colonies ;
il may be retorted on native Ameri cans them
selves for they did not make the country, and
what would they be worth without itY and what
ever prosperity marks those girls here, 1t Is not
the effect of American kindness, but of the honest
labor of their own willing hands American
commercial enterprise is very extensive, because
it is very profitable. II is precisely for the same
reason that Irish servant maids are largely em'
poyed. If they were not profitable, they would
get nothing to do They are never engaged for
themselves; bat always for the benefit OF the
capitalist, who needs them 1t is, therefore, just
rs insensate thing to condemn any legitimate
branch of business In the country as 1t is Irish
servant maids. Let the matter be taken III any
rational way and it will be found that these te
males deserve in no manner the shameless Ill
teatment they so frequently get.
But there is one-we pass over several Others
for the present feature in Irish servant maids
in America, which no other women in the land
ever allow themselves to be touched by. We
mean the undyiug, fresh affection, that animates
them for their kindred ut home Take one in
stance The Irish servant girls of New York
and Brooklyn sent, during the last year, to their
fathers and mothers, and brothers aud sisters, in
Ireland the enormous sum of e50O OOOl How
was this immense sum made 1t was accumu
lated by the savings of couple of dollars
week, laborously earned in the drudgery OF
Kitchens, laundries, the chamber, and the work
table. We may be sure that not u cent of 1t ever
fell from the skies or was ever stolen, or was
found IL was coined in the long, fatiguing
interval between the first gray hour OF the
morning, and the last long hour of the night.
The fact of the accumulation of this money is
in itself, calculated to reflect the highest credit
on the industry and thrift of these girls, and in
the eye OF justice it must remove forever IRON
them charges of improvidence and luziness.

Picking Hops.

On the hills of old Otsego,
BY her brightly cleaning lake.
Where the sound of horn and hunter
Sylvan echoes love to wake,
Where the wreaths of twining verdure
Chamber to the sapling's tops,
| sat beside sweet Minnie Wilder,
In the great field picking hops.
Then the clusters green and golden
Binding in her sunny hair,
Half afraid yet very earnest.
1 looking in her face so fair;
Speaking low, while Squire Won Lager
Talked of past and coming crops,
Said |, "Mnnie, should a soldier
Stay at home here picking hops!
"While the country, torn asundsr,
Calls for men like me to fight.
And the voice of patriots pleading
Asks for hands to guard the right;
While from hearts of heroes slaughtered
Still the life-blood slowly drops,
Can l--shall stay beside you,
Minnie, darling, picking hops?"
Very pale the cheek was growing,
And the hand held was cold;
But the eye was bright and glowing,
While my troubled thought was told
Yet her voice was clear and steady
Without sighs, or tears, or stops,
When she answered, speaking quickly,
"'Tis women S work, this picking hops.
"Men should be where duty calls them,
Women stay ut home and pray
For the gallant absent soldier,
Proud to know he would not stav."
"Bravely spoken, darling Minnie"
Then | kissed her golden locks,
Breathcd anew u soldiers promise,
AS we sat there picking hops.
Now go away tomorrow,
And III dare to do or die,
Win leaders straps and sword, love,
Or mid fallen heroes lie.
Then when all of earth Is fading,
And the tluttering liie-pulse stops,
Sill mid thoughts of home and heaven,
I'll remember picking hops.
