Circulating the wrong Paper.

At q recent temperance meeting an
amusing incident took place. A strong ex
hortatiOn had been delivered by speaker
present and the President requested the
Secretary to pass around the pledge for sig
natures, and taking from his pocket what
he supposed was the document he, without
looking at it, gave it to the Secretary for
that purpose. A large number OF names
were enrolled of both ladies and gentlemen
present, and the document returned. 1t
was observed by the Secretary, while pass
ing around the paper, that considerable tit
tering prevailed among the ladies, who took
the precaution to read the contents of the
paper, whilst those who did not read it, and
desired to sign, did 20. After going through
the congregation the Secretary, on his way
back, looked at the paper to see. what wac
the cause of amusement, when it was re-
vesled to him that, instead of the temper
ance pledge, he had passed around and re-
ceived signatures to document setting
forth the pedigree Of celebrated stallion.

New DIscovERY.-Mr. Mccall, an enter
prising quartz miner at Lower Springs
availing himself of short break in the late
storm, walked out for exercise taking with
him the inevitable pick, and coming upon
indications of lode, Immediately "went
down" for prospect. After sinking cou
pie of feet he gathered his pockets full and
returned to camp. The hand mortar and
pan process, without quicksilver, showed
from $500 to 500 to the tun, by accurate
weights. That's all, now. A simple fact,
recorded in few simple words. But is there
not enough in this statement to stim
ulate our people to action-to the exhibition
of a little more energy in bringing this stuff
to the surface? When we gathered the above
facts, there were standing present many of
our citizens who listened to the detail with
less interest than the history of dog fight
would have created and when the narrator
had ceased, quiet, dry remark of g that's
pretty good" or 81 that will do" was the
sum of feeling manifested. Well, maybe the
ravens will.f us. They'll have to if the
torpor under which we are laboring continues
much longer.

ANOTHER New DIscovERY.-A few days ago
Mr.. Root was prospecting in the edge OF

patch of brush and loose dirt, discovered a
lode as novel in its developments as it was
unexpected. He was hunting gold, but found

the pattern sold here at eight and ten dollars.
lie picked it up, shook the sand out of the
case. wound it, and away she went as if
nothing had happened, and has been keeping
good time ever since. Mr.. Root thinks that
with such croppings he is justified in going
down, with show to find a permanent lode
of Yankee clocks, and may strike chronome-
ter watches with gold hunting cases. Verify,
the mines are improving.

Gen. ButIer-A scrap from History.

There seems to be disposition among
many Union men to do injustice to General
Butler, says the Appeal, on account of his
military failures. We regret to see it. 1t is
ungenerous and unjust. B. F. Butler as a
General has done quite as we'll as many 9TH
ers without military education and expert
ence. and better than some educated at West
Point He was among the first to rouse the
North to the hereulean work it had to do
His talents, heart and hand were early en-
listed on behalf Of the Government, To him
we are exclusively indebted for all the aid we
received in the South from slave spies, the
services of slaves on fortifcations, and 200,-
600 negro troops. When our armies adyanc
ed into Virginia, all our Generals were more
alert at catching and returning runaway
slaves than capturing rebels. To the sagacity
and independence of Gen. Butler we owe all
the benefits from change of policy in this
respect 1t was inaugurated in May 1861,
tress Monroe. One morning our pickets
brought in three slaves belonging to Colonel
Mallory, who had escaped and sought pro-
lection Of our army. Col. Mallory under
flag of truce. went to the Fort to demand his
slaves, when the following terse colloquy is
reported to have passed between them:
'You hold, Col. Mallory, do you not"
said Gen. Butler, g that the negro slaves are
nronnrtv and that Virpinia is no l0nrer a
part of the United States?' '' do, sir,
was the reply. You are a lawyer, sir"
Gen. Butler added, ''and | ask you if you
claim that the Fugitive Slave Act of the
United States is binding in foreign nation?'
And if foreign nation uses this kind of pro
perty to destroy the lives and property of
citizens of the United States, if that species
of property ought not to be regarded as
contraband !"
The rebel Colonel withdrew speechless and
without his slaves This decided and prompt
action of Gen. Butler was heralded through
the country by the press, and the lesson was
then inculcated which led first to the employ
ment on Notifications of all slaves captured.
and finally to the enlistment of 900, 900 negro
troops, which force contributed so greatly to
a speedy termination of the war, and the tri
umph of the old flag.
There is deep debt of gratitude due Gen.
Butler from the American people. There is
prejudice which withhoids it, but so sure
as time marks its cycle so sure this or the
next generation will render justice to the
name Of Ben iamn Z. Butler.

while we admire the good taste of the ladies

ing it. We favor original names FOR all

week to bring in a specimen of his handi-
work, which he did, and left it at Coleman's S
hardware store where such things are kept
for sale. This fact coming to the knowledge
he soon placed alongside of Charley's spec
linen of his own skill. Which is best
is now the question. We have only to say
that both are credit to their makers. Com
petition is now excited, and Charley is going

BAPTIzED.-The Red Bluff Observer says
Bishop, S. NJ, has been dipping somebody
In barrel in that town. Well bet two and
a half there was no whisky wasted in that
process. That barrel must have been pros
tituted from the noble purpose for which it
was constructed to the base use of holding
water, and Sam knew of no better use for
tnat element than to wash somebody: hence
the immersion.
