SANTA ANNA.-General Antonio Lopez de
Santa Anna has concluded to play the part of
lacauey to the new Emperor Maximilian the
First, who has graciously condescended to
make him Field Marshal. Alas, for poor
human (Mexican) nature! This man, Santa
Anna, was once the recipient of the highest
honors which his countrymen could confer
upon him. He was the leader Of their arm
les he was their President, and after he was
President they made him Dictator. He
availed himself of his position to amass an
immense fortune, and when the adversities
of civil war compelled him to flee the country
he retired to the West Indies to reap the ben
eft of it, at the gaming table, the cockpit,
and other congenial pastimes. After few
wears of life OF this kind, he now emerges
from his retreat to return to his native land,
simply to play into the hands Of its oppres-
sors as il for the sake of picking up the
crumbs that fall from their tables. This man
Santa Anna is, or was, possessed OF certain
qualities, civic and military, which, If united
to spirit Of patriotism, might have sent his
name down to history in letters OF living
light; but mercenary disposition, with lit
tleness of mind, rendered those qualities OF
no avail, and so posteriiy are likely to hear
of him only as traitor, who, after being
idolized by his countrymen, only lived to be-
tray them, and Esau like, to sell his own
birthright for mess of pottage.-Ne'o YORK

POTATOES A MORAL Strange as
it may appear an English writer makes this
mild and popular vegetable responsible for a
nations ruin. This is the argument " In
1910, Sir Walter Raleigh sent the potato to
Ireland from its native place, Peru, to be cul-
tiyated on his estate near Youghal. Its nu-
tritive qualities and produetiveness made it
an article of national food. Its cheapness en-
couraged the increase of the poor until the
labor market was glutted and destroyed.
Moreover it enabled twice as many of the
poor to marry and beget children. Thus
there soon grew to be more people in Ireland
than could find employment, even at the
miserable wages of fourpence a day. Hence
the suffering and degradation of that unhap-
py nation" Wicked vegetable!

EFFECTS OF COFFEE ON D1sEAsE.-Dr.
Mosley observes, in his Treatise on Cof-
fee," that the great use of the article in
France is supposed to have abated the
prevalence of the gravel. In the French
colonies, where coffee is more used than
in English, as well as in Turkey, where
it is the principal beverage, not only the
gravel but the gout Is scarcely known.
DR.. Faur relates, as an extraordinary in
stance of the effect of coffee on gout, the
case of DIR. Deveran, who was attacked
with gout at the age Of twenty-five, and
had it severely till he was upward of fifty,
with chalk stones in the joints of his hands
and feet; but for years preceding the time
when the account of his case had been
given to DR.. Faur to lay before the pub
lie, he had used coffee, and had no return
of the gout afterward.

ScuRyY IN The ARNy.-The effects of
too great use of salt food is to cause that
loathsome disease, the scurvy, to break out
upon the person. The scarcity Of vegetable
food or fresh meat in the country lying along
the Rappahannoek river and the vicinity Of
Grants present campaign, has prevented our
army from obtaining these necsssaries at the
seat of war. Consequently the Sanitary
Commission supplies great deal Of anti.
scorbutic food to the soldiers. The extent Of
the demand for articles of this character, as
well as the magnitude and Importance Of
the Sanitary Commission, may be inferred
from the statistics of stores in this class
which the Commission shipped from New
York to Baltimore during the month Of May
last: 1921 gallons picked tomatoes; 5l,Sl2
pounds canned tomatoes; l,l06 gallons cur.
ried cabbage; 67l bbls. dried apples; 10, 1853
gallons sour kraut; 4,l62 gallons pickles;
$3.50 gallons picked onions; l2,060 pounds
apple pulp; 2, 400 boxes portable lemonade;
one tub apple butter; one dozen ginger wine.

Bound IN $l,O0O.-Mat Lynch, editor of
the Standard, was arrested few days since
on charge Of assault with intent to infict
bodily injury. The case was heard before
Justice Harris, who held the defendant in the
sum of 81, 900 for his appearance to answer
to the Grand Jury. Defendants counsel not
being satisfied with the descision, took the
case before the County Judge, who sustained
the decision of the Justice, and Lynch gave
the required bail. The facts as elected at
the examination, were, substantially, that
Lynch and one of our citizens met in sa-
loon and disagreed upon political matters !;
Lynch was insulting, and shock his finger in
the face of citizen IN manner not calcula-
ted TO sooth irritated feelings, whereupon
citizen threw Lynch gently upon the floor.
After picking himself up, Lynch, remarking
that he would see him again in moment,
walked out of the room, procured Q revolver,
and returned; high words passed. when
Lynch drew his pistol and fired, the ball
passing within few inches Of the person Of
the citizen. Lynch was Immediately seized
and disarmed,-Messelger.

Parson Brownlow, in one of his recent
speeches, said: elf had been authorized
some three or four years ago, by competent
authority, to arrest some two or three hun
dred your most wicked northern abolition
agitators, and an equal number Of our God
forsaken and hell-deserving southern disun-
ionists, and had hung them upon common
gallows, buried them in common ditch, in
the District of Columbia, embalming their
bodies in genseng weeds and dog fennel,
there would have been none Of these troubles
to-day upon the country. The Parsons head
is right; and as it is never too late to do
good, we trust he will yet do some of the
hanging before these troubles are over"

A CITIZEN OF SILVER FALLETH AMONG
THIEvEs.-We find the following lamentable
tale of what befel citizen of Silver at eye
City of We Plains" in the Sacramento Union
of yesterday: Soon after daylight yesterday
morning, George ingalls,, Of the Pacific Sta
bic, on Second street, discovered man
standing in a well or hole on the vacant lot
between the stable and Sacramento engine
house. The hole had been dug rs negative
well, for the purpose of draining off the wa
ter which stood on the lot until late in the
Spring, and was about five feet deep. In
gals found the man standing upright in the
hole, and in depth Of about three feet of
water. When taken out he was found to be
so far under the influence of liquor that he
could give no account Of himself He was
without coat, and his pantaloons were
BADLY torn, as though he had met with rough
usage from some source or other. After re-
naming on the lot for an hour or more, ].
w. Taylor took him to the Station-house.
Before night he became quite sober, and gave
clear account Of that portion Of his eXpe-
rience in this city which he could remember.
His name is Charles Nelson, and his resi-
dence Silver City On. T.) He had by hard
work-that of pentering-accumulated
about $500, and had started for San Fran
cisco with the money. On Saturday even
ing he visited one or more lager beer saloons
of the city, with 500 in coin in the inside
pocket of his coat and $50 or $40 in purse
in his pantaloons pocket. He remembers
drinking and treating pretty freely up to
midnight or after, but is unable to tell what
occurred after about that time. When found
BY Ingalls, his coat and 800 were gone, but
his purse, containing some S25 or $50, was
found in his pantaloons pocket. 1t is sup
posed that some of the thieves who swarm
the dens of iniquity in the city, after sue
ceeding in getting Nelson so drunk as to be
unconscious, led him through the alley either
from X or l. street to the vacant lot, and
there stripped him Of his coat and money
Being in toe much haste to examine him
carefully, they inadvertently left his purse in
one OF his pockets. Whether they then
threw him into the well or left him to stum
BILE into it at his leisure is matter Of un-
certainty.

Very Good.


The Reese River RerieAe has an article
upon journalistic Courtesy" which we con-
slider so timely and SO well expressed, that We
make the following extract therefrom:
The career of newspaper should be the
same as that of an individual. 1t should be
guided by honor, it should seek the truth.
Nay, its position and responsibilities rise far
above those of most individuals. 1t is the
teacher and leader Of vast communities, who
await its utteranees, who follow in its foot
steps. Partaking of the fallibility of man it
often proves blind, more often wicked
guide to the people still its duties remain the
same, and it becomes powerful weapon for
good or for evil, conformably to the ideas and
abilities Of those who disseminate it. Hence
it is one of the most important instrument
alitics for the improvement of mankind. 1t
would be difficult to name its superior. 1t
seems a pity, therefore, that with this high
vocation before them, editors should SO con-
stantly descend to petty squabbleS, or what is
still more, to gross personal abuse. In the
first place the public care nothing about these
matters, and therefore, in the second place,
it is an imposition upon them to force
them upon their attention. The character
of journal, its general tone, its particu-
lar policy with reference to the different
questions which are constantly presenting
themselves for adjudication, these are per-
fectly legitimate subjects of criticism by
fellow journalists; not only so, they cannot
be conscientiously avoided. One journal
has no more right to keep silent if it thinks
another is misleading the people, than
the individual editor has if he hears
stranger wrongly directed to neighboring
town. But then what follows? That we
are to descend to personalities, to villii-
cation, to impugning of motives? Are
we to place ourselves upon level with
the street brawler? Are we to become
the assassins of character? What has this
to do with our profession? How does it
concern the questions in dispute? How
can it advance the interests of truth, of
the community, or the world ? The press
of country is q sort of vast debating So
ciety in which, barring certain local in
terests, great principles are to be dis
scussed, and great truths eliminated. But
ifthe members fall to abusing one another,
forgetting their place and their duty, their
actions should be frowned upon and discOur-
aged by the society at large, and if need be,
their names stricken from the roll. Every
journalist has enough serious work of his
own on hand without assuming the duties of
private police or public censor with reference
to his associates in the same field oflabor.

PoIrTicAL PKEAcHERs. In Washington
lrving's good old book, "The Knicker.,
booker History Of New York;" written
nearly sixty years ago, in book 8, chapter
Z, may be found the following passages
about political preachers:
"A pale, bilious orator took the Hoor,
and declaimed for hours and in 6elliHsran1
terms. He was one Of those furious zeal.
otS who blow the bellows Of faction until
the whole furnace Of politics is red-hOt
with sparks and cinders. What was It to
him if he should set the house on dre, so
that be might boil his pot by the blaze ?
He vas frOm the borders Of Connecticut:
his constituents lived by maraudiHg their
Dutch Esighbors, and were the greatest
poach+rs in Christendom, excepting The
Scotch border mobiles. His elOQaenee had
its effect, and it wss determined N set 90
foot an expedition against the NisuwI Me-
derlands. .t f,r..: Il.
1t was necessary, however, to prepare
the public mind for this measure, Ac.l
cordinRly the arguments Of the orator
were echoed from The pulpit for several
succeeding Sundays, and q crusade was
preached up against Peter StuyveSant aud
his devoted city. ~.
This IL the Ayst we hear Of the drum
ecclesiastic' beating up for recruits in
worldly warfare in our country. 1t has
since been called into frequent use. A
cunning politician often turks under the
clerical robe /; things spiritual and things
temporal are strangely jumbled together,
ike drugs on an apotbecaTy's shelf, and
instead Of a peaceful sermon, the simple
seeker after righteousness has often PO'

CoPPERHEADs."-In book 2. chapter
], Of the same work, will be found the
origin of the term " Copperhead':
"In the proud days of Peter Stuyves-
