ORIGIN OF HUGENoTs.- Hugo Aubriet
was appointed Provost of Paris on the acces
sion of Charles VI to the throne, which
post he honorably filled by embellishing the
city and contributing to the happiness ofthe
inhabitants. In every thing he manifested
zeal for the public good; but he offended the
University, and that ruined him. The
students INDUCED in the most scandalous
excesses; but the Provost, determined to
suppress them, ordered the offending stu
dents to be arrested and confined in the dun
geons of the Chatelet. The students resolved
upon revenge, charged him with dreadful
crimes before ecclesiastical tribunal, and sue
ceeded, by intrigues, in convicting him as a
bad Catholic, Incorporate, debauched, the
encourager of loose persons-in short, as a
Jew and hereto, Had not the Court in
terfered, he would have been burned alive.
He was, however, obliged to mount the scat
fold, and there, bareheaded, with a rope
around his waist, and on his knees, ask par
don before the people, The Rector of the
University and the Bishop of Paris, dressed
in pontifcal robes, assisted at the ceremony;
and, in conclusion, condemned him to end
his days in dungeon, with nothing but
bread and water for his support. Hugo Au-
briet was the year following released by the
same populaoe who had joyfully assisted in
his punishment From him the French
Protestants have been called Hugenots, to
mark them as enemies Of the Church.

NECROMANOERs. The raising of ghosts
was a favorite exploit of the necromancers of
old; the of fame Torralva, the Spanish magi-
clan has been immortalized in 'Don Quizote'
The demons that the celebrated Italian ar
tiste, Benvenuto Cellini, describes as having
seen, when he got within the conjuror's cir
Gle, and which amazement magnifed into
severallegions, are now believed TO have been
merely figures produced by magic lantern;
and their appearing in an atmosphere of per-
fumes is accounted for by the burning of
odoriferous woods, in order to dim the vision
of spectators. When the Emperor Charles
the Fourth was married to the Bavarian
Princes Sophia, in the city OF Prague, the
father of the tribe brought with him wag-
on load Of magicians to assist in the festivi-
ties Two of the chief profcients in the art
-Zytho, the Bohemian sorcerer, and Guion,
the Bavaran-appeared as rivals in an ex-
traordinary trial before an exalted assembly.
After superhuman efforts to astonish, Zytho
opened his jaws from ear to ear, and swal-
lowed his companions until his teeth touched
his shoes, which he spat out because, he said
they had not been cleaned. The admiration
of the audience was succeeded by feelings
of horror, but Zytho calmed their apprehen-
sions by restoring the vanquished Guion in
his perfect corporal proportions to life-a
triumph of art inexplicable.

CoNFIRxED.-Some time before the election
we published an article warning our loyal
citizens against the armed Vaccinations of
the Democratst?). Many of these same DEM
ocrats called US aiarmists, and Union men
were sneered at for placing any confidence
in such stuff. Below We give confirmation of
our assertions, for there is no doubt but what
similar aud cooperating organizations to the 4
of" No. 81" existed throughout the State
These same organizations still exist, and it
behooves all good citizens to keep up their
watchfulness and be prepared for any emer-
gency. at moments warning. The snake
is badly wounded but not yet dead. The
San Jose Mercury publishes the following:

existence of a secret reasonable organization

bers, let them read the following letter. II

his arrest and confinement in the Placerville

instead of laying around waiting for dry

And now for quartz and the gold therein
In this district there are many lodes that will
prospect from SIS to SIS per ton. Mr..
Hickey, during the past summer, has been
running an arastra here by one horse power,
crushing quartz from lode near by, and has
made excellent wages therefrom. There is
no locality In Shasta county that would afford
better returns to the quartz miner than this,
and verify believe that a custom mill, with
all the modern Improvements, would do bet
ter here-or at least as we'll anywhere III
the State. The truth is, our miners have
too much accustomed themselves to looking
Ear of for gold, and overlooking the rich de-
posts at home.
There is quartz mill near this place, but
it has been idle for long time. To any
