ARRIVAL OF MEEcREs FEMALE EauGEAErs AT SAN
FRANcIsco-Thc steamer Continental arrived in port
this morning with "a passengers, most Of them women
who came out here on the representation and under
he care OF w T. Mercer, Of Washington Territory
Immediately upon the steamer being teegraphed a
large number Of people rushed down to the wharves,
whether to select wives or to satisfy their curiosity
to the personal appearance Of the fair emigraut, or
for what object is unknown TO any but themselves.
But they were doomed disappointment, fer the ship
was attached to the buoy oil Folsom street wharf
cra hundred feet from shore, and no one is allowed
on board. There was great futteFing of calico on
board the ship as she passed the city front, the
observed of all observers, and probably responsive
lnttering Of some masculine hearts on shore, whose
owners have become tired Of the forIorn state of
bacheoshood. 1t is said to be the intention OF the
consgnees to transfer the passengers to some other
steamer bound northward and convey them to 0lym-
pia, in Washington Territory, their original place Of
destination. The passenger list shows large number
of misses most Of whom are probably not aEeFse
to changing their title and their name.

It is generally understood that the notorious Judge

Judge Underwood presiding in the United States cir

town in Herkmer county, New York, must be credited

A WIPES LovR.-Woman's love, like
the rose blossoming in the arid desert,
spreads its rays over the barren plane OF
the human heart, and while all around 1t
is black and desolate It rises more
strengthened from the absence of every
other charm. In no situation does the
love OF woman appear more beautiful than
in that of wife; parents, brethren n
friends have claims upon the affections,
but the love of q wife is q distinct and
different nature. A daughter may yield
her life to the preservation Of a parent-a
sister may devote herself to q suffering
brother , but the feelings which induce
her to this conduct nre not such as those
which lead q wife to follow the husband
Of her choice through every pain and peril
that can befall him ; to watch over him in
danger, to cheer him in adversely, and
ever remain unalterable at his side in the
depth Of ignominy and shame. II is a
heroic devotion which q woman displays
in adherence to the fortunes Of o hapless
husband. When we behold her in her
domestic scenes, o mere passive creature
Of enjoyment; an intellectual joy, bright
ening the family with her endearments,
and love for the extreme joy which that
presence and those endearments are calcu-
lated to impart, we can scarcely credit
that the fragile being who seems to hold
her existence by q thread is capable of
supporting the extreme Of human suffer-
ing, nay, when the heart Of man sinks be.
meath the weight Of agony, that she should
maintain her pristine powers Of delight,
and by her words Of comfort and patience.

resignation.

SCENE IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE
The New York Tribute gives the following
account Of the extraordinary scene in the
United Senate Senate. on the passage OF
of the Civil Rights Bill over the Presi-
dents veto
At half-past six the vote was called,
and the Clerk proceeded, amid breathless
silence, while busy pencils were tallying
the result. Morgan responded "aye" IN
a clear voice. and all doubt was instantly
removed. The spectators rose in the gal
leries and made the Senate Chamber echo
with applause. On the floor the scene
was but less exciting. Several Senators
rushed up and congratulated Morgan, as
did members of the House. On went the
roll to the end. Wright. Of New Jersey,
who appeared in the Chamber a few min
utes in the early part of the day and then
retired to the Committee room, was now
supported to his seat by his friends. The
result was then announced by the acting
Vice President, Foster, and a perfect storm
Of applause followed. Handkerchief
were waved, and hats went aloft with
cheers and shouts such as the Senate
Chamber never witnessed before. This
scene was Of long continuance, and during
it the opposition gathered up their hats
and coats and retired, leaving Senator
Trumbull to move the usuaf order for in
forming the House Of the action Of the
Senate, and the friends of the bill to ad-
iourn till Monday.

The GRAND ExPLoRATIoN.-Governor
Blasdel, with quite a large party, left the
Capital a few weeks since to explore the
southern portion of the State. and report
upon its habi.ahility by-by what silk
stockinged humanity. They left their
home with a grand flourish, q grand COM
pany of State dignitaries, with q grand
outfit, a grand military escort, creating
grand expectations, and have made q grand
tizzle. The country was represented as
"unexplored," although every foot Of it
had been tramped over by the indomitable
Reese River prospector, and full accounts
repeatedly published in this paper. The
posted notices of claims would always be
in sight, and guides to the bold explorers
with the military escort, the big wagons
and fine carriages. It was a good thing,
too, to be protected by q small army,
where our folks go singly or in small par
ties, by day or by night; and, too, it ex-
hibited such a knowledge Of q compare
lively desert country, and Of the require
ments of an explorer, to have a party Of
near a hundred, with more animals, and
not the preparation to carry across tho
long and burning deserets even a single
drop Of water, where the few springs
known to exist would in a day hardly
suffice to supply a dozen men, without
horses or mules. We were told that i'm
portant developments would be mado and
great good to the country result from the
exploring tour of the Governor. accompa-
MED by State Geologist Stretch. It is
we'll known that our States reputation
did not depend upon the opinion Of that
grand party. We learn by the Eastern
Slope, a paper published in the western
portion Of the State, that ssme Of the ex-
plorers had returned, and all would fol-
low suit, muchly Disguised. We suppose
they did not find q hotel, q restaurant. or
a fancy lodging house after leaving Au-
rora, and we don't wonder that the fell
lows were disguised. They saw Silver
Peak, where is a new ten.stamp mill lying
idle, as arc mills at Austin, and elsewhere
in Reese River. These neurological sa-
vans did not know why the mill was
stopped, but "some say the mine has
failed" The idea that the mines Of Silver
Peak, particularly those Of Martin & Co.,
as the Vanderbilt, Pocatella, Sisson and
others. will sound very funny to miners
in this section of the State. With such
reports Of an exploration from q high
source, if they come from q high source, it
would have been better had they staid at
home.-RcpeiRe.

The Pulse.


The action Of the pulse will, no doubt,
be of much interest to our readers. 1t
probably is not known to many that the
pulse of a female exceeds in frequency that
Of a male from ten to fourteen beats per
minute.
Many circumstances influence it's action,
such as muscular exertion, mental excite
ment, the state of the digestive organs, and
the position of the body, whether lying,
sitting, or standing. Muscular action and
mental excitement, as also the process OF
digestion, naturally increase it, it being
much quicker during the process Of di.
gestion than when digestion has taken
place.
In healthy males, from twenty-five to
thirty years Of age, the average CT the pulse
per minute, in a standing position, is from
seventy-nine to eighty one !; citing, from
se~venty-ninc to ninety one, and lying
down, from sixty-six to sixty seven
making a difference Of from nine to ten
beats between standing and sitting, from
four to five between sitting and lying, and
from thirteen to fourteen beats between
standing and lying. In healthy females,
of the same age, it will DO found to be
from e~ighty-two to. ninety-one, standing ;
eighty-one to eighty-two, sitting; and
eighty to eighty-one, lying. The yaria.
ton in the different positions is produced
by the muscular action induced by the
change Of position.
At the different periods of the day the
pulse varies, as, for instance, in . healthy
person it is most frequent in the morning,
and gradually decreases toward evening.
After excitement, the diminution is greater
and more regular in the evening than in
the morning. Food has the same effect
on it at these periods, for, in many in.
stances, the same food that will increase
it's amount and duration in the morning,
will, in the evening, have no effect what.
ever. During the hours of sleep there is
u greater diminution.
The following table will show its yaria-
tions at different periods Of life. being
greater in childhood than in old age,
and gradually diminishing as we grow
| older
