MCDONALD on THE RAMPAGE.-C Calvin B.
Mcdonald, very pretty writer, who has edited
a greater number and variety of newspapers
written more, and oftener, and louder on all and
every side of all questions of national. State,
and county politics, is now the editor of the
meanest, the lowest, abolition paper in Cllifor-
na-the misnamed American Flag. That
sheet is so fauatical that it counsels and advo-
Gates the Giddngs doctrine of ripping up the
Union and bathing the whole world in a
red sea of blood rather than have the Govern
ment restored with slavery We'll, Mcdonald,
who, when editor of the Sierra Citizen, de
sired to be written up and considered, and at
tempted to write himself up, as the leading
Democratic editor in California is handling
the bellows at the dark forge of damnable
dSunionism in the Sonora hell works He is
subject to fits of temporary insanity superin-
duced by the constant pressure upon his hat
rack of the very unpleasant idea that everybody
Is his enemy. that his writings are not appre-
ciated and himself not looked up to sufficiently :;
and in the process of expectorating the poi
sonous venom from his exasperated sarcastic
tongue, is guilty of the indiscretion Of shining
over with vile, and unjustfable, and uncalled-
for abuse his best friends and we'll wiahers.-

POIsON ANTIDoTE.-A farmer sends US the
following " 1t is now over twenty years since
| learned that sweet oil would cure the bite of
a rattle snake, not knowing that it would cure
any other poison. Practice, observation and
experience have taught me that it will cure
poison of any kind, both in man and beast l
think no farmer should be without bottle of
it in his house, The patient must take q
spoonful internally and battle the wound for a
cure To cure horse it requires eight times
as much as it does man. Here let me say
OF one of the most extreme cases Of snake bite
in this neighborhood, eleven years ago this
summer, where the case bad been over thirty
days standing, and the patient had been given
up by his physicians. l heard of it, carried
the oil, gave him one spoonful, which created
a cure. 1t is an antido'e for arsenic and
strychnine. 1t will cure bloat in cattle caused
by eating too freely of fresh clover it will
cure stings of bees spiders or other insects !;
and it will also cure psrsons who have been
poisoned by a low running vine growing in
meadows, called ivy"

They disgust the humble and less pretending
members, who dislike TO quarrel, and qaistly
withdraw, rather than be forced to maintain
their rights BY personal encounter with those
two faced humbugs What makes these two
faced men particularly disagreeable is their
c)nceit. They imagine they are playing a
shrewd game, and little dream that they are
thoroughly understood and their true characters
known by those who are familiar with their
daily life and conversation. Ia the end every
body finds them out and gives them the cold
shoulder. Then they throw aside the mask
and pour out their pent-up bllingsgate at those
who expose all their nicely formed plans for
selfaggrandizement Beware of two-faced
hypocrites. Give 10 them your confidence and

The Pure HEART.-The springs of everlast-
ing life are within. There are clear streams
gushing up from the depths of the soul, which
flow out to enliven the sphere of outward ex-
istence. But, like the waters of Sloan, they
"go swiftly" You must listen to catch the
silvery tones of the little ri!l as it glides from
its mountain home, yoa may not witness its
silent march through the green vale, but its
course will be seen in fresh verdure and the
opening flowers its presence will be known
by the forms of life and beauty which gather
around it. 1t is ever thus with the pure.
You may not hear the still small voice. or
heed the silent aspiration, but there is a moral
influence and holy power which you will
feel The wilderness is made to smile, flowers
Of pew life and beauty to spring up and flourish
while az invisible presence breathes immortal
fragrance through the atmosphere.

" Mr.. Valandigham said 1t is the resto
ration of the Union as it was in 1889. and
continued for over seventy years, that I am

Our Cottage in the Vale.

! remember many forms
That were dear in early years,
When life WIS ike the sweet spring time.
Sanshiny in is tears:
From memory's pale, uncertain page,
The names have passed away,
The voices echo round me still,
The merry cries Of play:
The old. delighted oft would seem,
Among Us girls and boys,
Grew young again, or seemed to DO,
Amid our glee and noise:
And the thrasher With his fail,
And the milkmaid With her pail,
Are mingled in the memory
Ofour cottage IN the vale.
When many years had passed aud gone,
Again l sought that scene;
The leafy wood, the singing stream
We're there, our happy green;
And merry children blithe as We.
Were out with hoop and ball,
But ah my mates like birds had flown,
None answered To my call:
Oar humble cottage swept away.
The garden chokei with weed;
Amid the wreck one rose | found,
4 prize. though none else heed;
And the thrasher with his fail,
And the milkmaid with her pail,
Come mingled with the memory
OF our COTTAGE in the vale.

The BIG CANON or THE Co1.oRADo.-This
wonderful and Sublime feature of the California
aspects is made by Ives over three hundred
miles in length. 1t commences near the mouth
of Diamond river (which is Ill miles from
the Mohave river, under latitude So 45' and
feet above the sea. and runs through table
lands from 1000 TO 5000 feet elevation into
the southeastern frontiers Of Utah Territory.
where it is in both those Territories represented
by its most northern branches. called Green
and Grand rivers. The canon lies altogether
within the lS52territory of New Mexico aud
the antelS50 territory of Alta California,
and is about 20 miles from the eastern bounda-
ry line of the State of California, and $50
miles by the road from Los Angeles. The
walls of the canon rise from the river edge
from one thousand to five thousand feet in
hight, in all sorts Of columnar shapes. and
representing some of the most sublime and
awful OF earth'S aspects. In Farnham's travels
there Is short account of trapper's tradition,
before 1910, of a voyageur having descended
the canon from its commencement in the west
ern levels of the Rocky Mountains and hoated
down its entire length with wonder and trepi-
daion. The features of the Colorado basin
and of the Pueblo Indian towns of New
Mexico seem to have undergone but little
physical change since l540, or the epoch of
the expeditions of Cabrillo. Alarcon, Coronado
Marcos de Ma, etc; that is, within the
limited comparison OF all who have Travelled
those portions of the country.

\ CORRESPONDENT Of the Chicago Tribune
relates a fact Of some historical interest in
connection with the Lake Providence Canal.
In the carly part Of the nineteenth century
Laftte who had pursued his pratical career
in the Gulf Of Mexico with great success, at
tempted to effect his escape up the Mississippi,
intending to pass into Lake Providence and
Bayo Macon by the same route now under
consideration by our military authorities He
reached Providence long distance in advance
Of Lis pursucrs, but while attempting to make
the entrance to the bayou, ran one of bis yes
sels aground. With the remaining one he
worked day and night for three days to pull
her off, when a tremendous gale arose which
blew him over to the Mississippi shore, and
wrecked his last vessel. His pursuers coming
up directly after. with all his men, be was
captured loaded with irons. and taken to New
Orleans The war with Great Britain was
then raging, and he was offered his liberty
upon condition of joining the Federal army.
He served faithfully entil the war was ended.

PoIsONs.-Man is the most wonderful of
he can do, he can eat poisons with certain
degree of impunity. 1t is only necessary to
be prudent, regular and careful about the dose
TO survive for q considerable period. A certain
quantity of opium kills. Four or FIVE grains
is almost certain death to person not in the
habit of using it; but any one can learn to
eat twenty or thirty grains at dose. 1t
becomes the necessity Of a second nature, and
though it shortens life, it does it so slowly that
its operations in this respect are not alarming
So coffee, tea and tobacco, are poisonous. II
requires some hard;hoOd TO get accustomed to
the latter. \ drop or two Of the essential oil
of either of these narcotics will kill yet how
many millions of men use them all every day
of their lives. There is some arrangement of
the nervous system-some di;ninution of the
strength-probably some shortening of life; ;
yet few hesitate to use these fascinating lnxu-
ries. And arsenic is very decidedly poison
yet there is at least one country in the world
where it is habitually eaten. \ young man,
Of seventeen, say, begins by taking three
gratis at dose, which is gradually increased
until he gets up to tweniy-three grains. 1t
does not do to exceed this quantity nor is it
safe to leave off suddenly. When the arsenic
eater arrives at the age of fifty, he gradually
dimiuishes the dose, The immense quantity of
poison constantly passing through his system
does not prevent reaching the age of seventy
or eighty, For all this it is our opinion that
the more simple our food, the better Proba
bly, no man at the end of his life. was ever
sorry that be had taken opium, or brandy, or
tobacco, though some may be sorry for taking
too much London Lancet.

Heat of the Earths Interior Volcanoes.

Ii is generally believed by mea 81 >cieu,J
and Others, that the interior OF the earth Is a
mass Of molten matter, the heat Of which is in-
tense beyond that which can be produced by
known artificial modes. Many Of the rocks
which form the crust of the earth appear TO
have been once in fluid condition, aud no
skill possessed by man can reduce some of them
by heat to the state IN which they once existed.
DR.. SijeStroa q Swedish astronomer, expresses
it a his belief that the interior Of the earth is
occapiel by currents of various degrees of
heat. which mix with each other and attain a
certain degree of temperature in the same
manner as substances subjected to all the
physical Influences of the earth's exterior. Ia
other words, The theory Is that mass Of fluid
possessing different temperatures in different
parts Of its interior, must be subjected to
process Of convection The result is usually a
change Of volume in tie eatre mass of circu

volcanoes. ln Heckla, however The famous
volcanic mountains of eland-the heat seems

London Quarterly who has visited it, states
that while vapors were issuing from the black

dred fathoms below, were gaping ice holes and
great masses of snow side by side with sui

strangely enough, while one part of the cone
is quite cold on the surface, steam is Issuing
from another part higher mp, showing that the
heat is local, and dependent upon the fery
character Of the under beds This is proved
by the experiment Of an Icelander at another
place, who discovered that the heat began two
