WHAT THEN THE CopperheAd press
of California have been severe on Lincoln
because he did not rush into a war with
France in vindication of their ideas of the
Monroe doctrine. Now, that the Duke
de Gwin. that foxy old rebel. has been
placed In high position in Sonora, and
that there is really reason to believe war
cloud is gathering, what will the Copper
heads say to it, should the Government
order Napoleon, Macmillan and his ex-
-cellency the Duke, all out of that country,
and send Grant, Sherman and Sheridan
to drive them out if they refuse to obey
ordersi Will they stick up for the Mon
roe doctrine ; or did they only clamor Tor
it in the interests of the poor Southern
Confederacy y We shall see. Mean,
time, ten to one that every CopPerhead
organ in this State, takes sides with Gwin
and his traitor crew.-Stockton Independent.

A BuENos AIREs paper announces that
in the Province of San Juan, which is
situated almost at the foot of the Cordil-
leras, gold has been discovered in almost
incredible quantities. The full particulars
of this discovery are hushed up and kept
from the masses for obvious reasons. but
authentic intelligence has been received by
some English residents of Buenos Ayres
which leave no doubt that the treasures
of the Andes are at last about to become
known to the world. Within two days
after the discovery was made over four
hundred ounces in gold were secured BY
the gold miners, and since, no mails have
been received from this auriferous region.

The SrrRIr-HAND." - At a recent
'eance, at London, of the Davenport
Brothers, one of the audience gentle
man named Draper-asked if he might be
allowed to make a stab at the esprit
hand" when it was projected from the
structure" Mr.. Ferguson (the exhi-
bitor of the Davenports) amid a roar of
laughter, emphatically refused permission.
A few minutes after, Mr.. Draper asked
that he might be allowed to try the effect
of revolver on the spiritual hand; but
Ferguson again declined to accede to the
request. The audience drew their own
conclusions from this incident.

FASHIONABLE LIFE IN PARIS. The gay
and fashionable bellies of Paris work harder
chan men at the galeys. Think of young
married lady, with a rapidly filling nursery,
going out night after night, comingg; home on
Monday, say, at one o'clock! on Tuesday, at
four, on Wednesday, at midnight, on Thurs
day, at three on Friday, at four, winding up
the weeks work on Saturday by coming home
in the broad daylight at seven o'clock, and
commencing the new week with an afternoon
concert, a dinner, and soiree. Seome women
have successfully cultivated the habit OF sleep
ing in the afternoon, or take an extra dinner,
al four or FIVE 0 clock, and 90 straight TO bed
after it, sleeping till half past eight or nine,
when they are awakened by their maid and
proceed to the business of dressing.
Another great subject of gossip in Paris just
now is LA 'fheresl. New shops are designat-
ed A Ia Theresa, and her songs placard the
walls. Theresa is woman famous tor sing
ing ''gailard' songs in one OF the low cafes
chantants near the Boulevard Beaumarchais
songs of the kind to which Colonel Newcome
took such honorable objection.
