DICHARD has made his appearance more,
lCHe invites you to call as he has heretofore;
You recollect him perhaps. some seven years ago,
When Ike was around, and would give him show.
But Isaac has gone to return not again,
And am now here possessing some fame,
For will shave you with manipulatons,
And all my efforts shall be pleasing sensations.
I'll shave you as easy, as NICE and as good
As any other barber would if he could;
I'll cut your hair neat, and physiognomicaly too,
As good any Night of the Razor do
All things shall be done in the latest of style,
And I'll keep you waiting but a short while;
Patience is all that you need to endure,
For I'll shave you so easy you'll call again, sure
But if you should not only will say
That some one unfrendly has said-"keep away"
But you are honest, willing and free
To shave where you please, if it should be with
So let freedom of mind have freedom Of sway,
And you'll give me a call venture to say:
If you induced to turn from away,
I'm you'll regret it-thats all I've to say.
As freedom of will is freedom of sway,
You'll do better by calling my way
Regardless of all that others may say:
They'll find that Gaping 3" doesn't pay.
don't like to ask or beg you to come,
But only will say-just drop in for fun:
Tho others may quicker and look very mad,
Or pout out a lip, and seem to be sad.
So and all and take q nice bath,
1t will please you we'll that you can't help but laugh:
Next door to Mccain Co.'S where every goes,
You'll find TRIM sharp razors as those whove tried know

WEAKESING.-Since Street, of the Marysville
Express, attended and made flaming speech at
the Bay city on the occasion of the Copperhead
State rodeo, he imagines that the Union party
has weakened, and so intimates in his treason
mill. Statistics show that at the election in
May, 1868, the LAUNDERING Democracy poled
throughout that city, four thousand nine hun
dred and twenty-ninc votes. The Peoples party
polled 6,66a-a majority over the Copperheads
Of ], 734. Last week the Peoples party poled
1887 votes, and the Copperheads 3,424, beating
the Copperheads 4,262. Verify, the Republican
party "weakens." At this rate of weakening,
over the State, when will the Copperhead party
come to power? If the Copperhead vote falls
off the last year in San Francisco 1905, how
much will it fall off throughout the State?

N.r1osA1 BANK AT SAX FaAscrsco.-The Bay


correspondent of the Sacramento Star says that
Eugene Kelly 4 Co. are erecting fine building
on the southeast corner of Montgomery and
Commercial streets, and that they purpose to
take out q charter and establish National Bank,
under the laws of Congress, and will issue paper
money redeemable in United States coin on pre-
sentation at their counter. If it is true, says
the writer, and it is not at all improboble, the
issuing of paper money under the laws of Con-
gress by so responsible firm as it is reported
the stockholders of the new firm consist Of with
the understanding that the notes can be ex-
changed for gold at any time the holder may
wish is destined to make revolution in the
banking business of the State, and will certain
ly compel other bankers to go and do like
wise - this will have tendency to make money
plenty, and give men of small means a chance
to increase their business; it would give miners
capital at low rates of interest, wherewth to de-
velop the mines, and, in the opinion OF your
humble servant, be of incalculable benefit to the
whole State

WE received friendly call yesterday from our
old friend and fellow qull-diver, John R. Ridge,
Esq. Ridge used to flourish pen with charm
ing grace and vigor, and his elegant contrbu-
tons to literature and politics commanded gen.
eral respect and admiration. But since his re-
markable afiliaton with the Copperheads the
plume of the ~ Yellowbird " has lost its magic
potency, and his once joyous and soul-thrilling
notes are tuneless as the ravens croak or the
hoot-owls cry. We are sorry for Ridge for we
cannot help admiring his genius and character,
Notwithstanding that he has joined himself to
the enemies of his country, and has so fallen
from his former high position in the world of
letters as to become hawker of the wares of
that vile Yankee renegade and treason onger,
Beriah Brown. We are so much ashamed of
Mr.. Ridges errand to this region, that we refrain
from mentioning it !; and while we wish him per-
sonal prosperity, we cannot bid him God-speed
on his present inglorous mission.-Neuada
Gazette.
The individual in question was stumpng Sis
kiyou county few weeks ago for aid in behalf
of Browns Copperhead sheet. While at Trinity
Center, the other day, we learned that Mr.. Ridge
had passed down the day previous, and intended
visiting his old Copperhead friends in this Sec
ton. He next turns up in Nevada, from which
we are induced to believe that he does not con-

SENSIBLE woxAs.-The present fashion of

A SENSIBLE WoMAN.-The present fashion of
long, street-sweeping dresses is an abominable
one, and we are glad to see that there is dispo-
sition ON the part of some of the ladies of Weav-
erville to abolish it. Several times we have
surd fashion, but RETAINED from doing so be-
cause we might be considered as meddling with
what was none of our business However, as
trailing dresses are going out of date, and the
same danger of female censure does not exist
that did few months ago, we shall take the
liberty to say that, to our notion, it is the most
absurd fashion ever originated, and shall print
for the benefit of our lady readers the plain
spoken opinion of California woman of note
Isle Lester, editress of the Pacific Monthly,
which we find over her signature in late num-
Der of the Virginia Old Piute. Miss Lester wrote :
"My DREss-Gentlemen of the Pr Ute Allow
me to explain my position. walked down one
of your streets yesterday, and noticed every
body looking at my feet Now, l am well aware
have very large feet, and this being the country
where nothing but feet thought of, l excused
it with good grace, until ascertained it was the
style of dress that was creating such an excite
ment wore dress that did not sweep the
streets, out was OF very moral lenglu, ABOUT 10
the tops of my CATERS beg leave to explain
why l have so far departed from the custom of
my people, and dared to shorten my dress-skirts.
For several months have tried to do my duty
as street commissioner, or sweeper-take which
term you like best-I have worn very long trails,
of very excellent material, and have swept the
pavements and crossings to the best of my abili-
ty. have done this as long as was able to do
so, without pay or reward in fact, until grew
sc bora h
tops, tobacco juice, egg-shels, and mud in my
dresses just as long as wished to ! have
gracefully dipped the rich trimmings, around my
dresses, into mud, water, restaurant filth, and
street-salad, just as long decency would toler-
ate therefore, when in the street shall wear
only short dresses, if all Christendom looks at
my feet and all the world condemn the fashion.
These are my sentiments. Isle LESTER"
Good for Miss Lester. Men seldom think less
Of lady for exhibiting large feet ankles in
order to protect her dress from the filth of the
streets, and if they do, the ladies, as general
thing, care very little about it.

SUPREME CoURT DECIsIoN.--In the case of
Trinity county VS.. John McCammon, W. A. Quine,
James Edgecomb and John Musser, the Supreme
Court last week rendered decision in favor of
plaintiff. The decision, signed by all the mem
bers of the Supreme Bench, sets forth that q the
injunction was improperly granted, and therefore
the Court erred in overruling the motion to dis
not to little, but too much strength" The find
ngs close in the following language:
At the expiration of the time for which Nc
Cannon was elected to the office of Supervisor
his right ended and further he was stripped of
all color of right thereafter by the act and oper-
alton OF public law. The impotency of Quine
to buy could not be aided by the alleged alliance
between him and McCammon.
But II the charges were made against those
who constitute the Board of Supervisors, in an
action brought for the purpose of restraining
them from making the purchase in question,
there is great doubt whether the action could be
maintained Boards of Supervisors under the
general law Wood Dig. 694, Section 81 have
no power to purchase real property on behalf of
the counties they represent, except where the
value of property has been previously estimated
by three disinterested persons appointed for that
purpose by the County Judge. This important
check has not been removed by the Act OF 1868
(Stats. p. 55) authorizing the Board of Supervi-
sors of Trinity county to levy tax for a county
81 Building Fund" 1t is true that in this case
three persons were appointed by the County
Judge to estimate the value of the building in
question but instead of reporting estimate
of value they reported that the building was in
their judgment wholly 90 unsuitable for a Court
House" Under such circumstances the members
of the Board of Supervisors would themselves
be as powerless to make the purchase as any or
all the present defendants.
The bill, then, cannot be maintained, for the
reason that the purpose of Quine and McCammon
to purchase in the name of Trinity county the
building named, for Court House, is one that
is impossible of accomplishment. No rreparable
damage at all, can result to the county if Quine
and McCammon are left to follow their own de-
vices. Dewitt ct. ais. VS.. Hays, IL Cal. 463
Robinson Gaar, 6 Cal. 275.) There is no de-
feet so fatal as want of power.
From what has been said, it follows that, if
Quine and McCammon should make the purchase
of Edgecomb, and draw on the treasurer in his
favor for the purchase money, the order would
be void on its face, as having been drawn by par
ties who have control over the public money.
And should the Treasurer pay the money on such
order, the county would have perfect remedy
at law by action on his official bond.
The order repealed from is reversed, and the
Court below is directed to dissolve the injunc-
ton. SHAFrEB, j.
