rel over the institution of Slavery. What
Vice President Stevens acknowledges as the
cornerstone of the Gonfederacy is already
knocked ont. Slavery is already dead and

ing army to maintain Slavery in the South if
we were to make peace to-day guaranteeing
to the South all their former constitutional
privileges. ! never was an Abolitionist, not
even what would be called Anti Slavery, but
I try to judge fairly and honestly, and it be-
came patent to my mind early in the Rebel
lion that the North and South could never
live at peace with each other except as one
Nation, and that without Slaverg. As anx-
ious as am to have peace established, /
would not, therefore, be willingto see any

A CAIIFoRNIA STORY.

In the Northern part of this State (Cail'ornla)
is stream called Yuba river. Across IL some Gu.
terprisine individual built bridge, and on the
hanks somebody else built three or four houses.
The inhabitants called the place fuoa Dam.
Three bars were erected, and the "town lncreas-
ed rapidly About noon, one cool cay soJourn,
or in TIE land passed this fourishng locality, and
seeing n long leeged specimen of humanity, in a
red shirt smoking before of the bars, thus ad-
dressed him:
HHeoW
Hello :" replied red shirt, with vigor, remov-
ing bis pipe from his mouth,
nWhat place is this?" demanded the traveller,
whose name was Thompson.
The answer of the shirt was unexpected:
"Yuba Dam !"
There was about fifty yards between them, and
the wind was blowing. Mr. Thompson thought he
had been mistaken.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"Yuba DAM" replied the shirt, cheerfully.
"What place is this| roared Mr. Thompson.
"Yuba DAM said the shirt in slightly ele-
waited tone Of voice.
"Lookee here p yelled the irrate Thompson, 81
asked you politely what this place was, why in
thunder don't you answer?"
The stranger became excited. He rose and re-
piled with the voice of an eighty FOUNDER:
"You-ba Dam! Dou you hear that"
III u Win VIC "iaViA
of the righteous jumped off his horse and advanc-
ed on the stranger with an expression not to be
mistaken The shirt arose and assumed posture
of offense and defense.
Arrived within yard of him, Thompson said
81 ask you, for the last time, what place is
this?"
Putting his hand to his mouth, his opponent
roared:
"You- ba Dam !"
The next minute they were at it. First Thomp-
son was down; then the shirt; then it was dog
fall-that is both were down. They rolled about
and kicked up tremendous dust. They squirm-
ed around so energetcally that you'd thought they
had dozen legs instead Of four. 1t looked like a
prize fight between two pugilistic centipedes. Fl
nally they both rolled on the bank and in the riv-
er. The water cooled them. They went down
together, but came up separately, and put for the
shore. Both reached it about the same time, ard
Thompson scrambled up the bank, mounted his
warlike steed leaving his foe gougins the mud out
of one Of his eyes.
Having left the business portion of the town
that is the corner where the three bars were kept
he struck, house in the suburbs before which
little girfof about three years old playing.
"What place is this sissy?' he asked.
The little girl, frightened at the drowned rat
figure which the stranger cut, streaked it for the
house. Having reached the door she stopped
turned, squealed-"O obbeedsm! ~
Good heavens % said Thompson, digging his
heels between his horses ribs-"good heavens =!
let get out of this horrid place. where not only
the men, but the very babes and sucklngs swear
at inoffensive travellers ~
