MORNING. is so clearly indicative Of wo-
mans disposition as her manner of laughing
Whenever YOU hear one of those dry, harsh,
cackling sort of laughs, sounding more like
the hacking cough of consumptive than an
expression of glee, look out for that woman !;
she puts the broomstick to more than one use.
Then there are the gigglers; they are soft.
Never marry one Of them. They have been
known to even make mistakes in their hus-
bands. If you want to die the hardest death
known to humanity at the present time, that
is, be talked to death, get one of those
women who, when they attempt to laugh,
only succeed in wrinkling up their faces
YOU can commit suicide in that way without
having any one know it. Ten chances to
one if she isn't blue stocking in the bar
gain. If you ever hear one of those silvery,
clear, merry, ringing laughs, as joyous as
the caroling of an uncaged bird, make for 1t.
That woman is q treasure. She will meet
YOU with a smile and kiss, when you come
home, even if you are-drunk. No matter
if she does have to do her own washing,
ironing, and cooking; let the baby be as
fretful as it will if she has scraped the
bottom of the flour barrel. you will hear no
word of complaint. But all of these are as
nothing compared with the one whose laugh
is low, musical and ripping, sweeter by far
than the notes of an EOlian harp. Such a
laugh always seems to us like the never
ceasiug bubbling of the fountain of heart
overflowing with happiness. Such woman
Is whole casket of gems. The eyes may be
the windows of the soul, but the laugh is its
music.

LIVELY LITTLE FELLow.-There Is paper
nublisbed upon one corner of Bidwell's ranch.
called the Chico Courant, whose editor was
a delegate to the State Convention and placed
R;dweil in nomination. Bidwell was beaten,
and this chap, Bishop by name, moved him
self. with a rsat flourish, to make the norni-
nation of Gorham unanimous. Well, be
went home quietly enough, but OF late he
has manifested the most rabid symptoms of
soreheadism. In one article in his last issue
he SAYS:
'Had the klamath delegate been in the
Convention, or had our delegate held his
proxy. Bidwell would have been our candi-
date for Governor today and regularly
nominated"
Now. we have heard the nomination at
tributed to variety of absurd causes, but
never to this one before. We think this will
lie news to every member Of the Convention,
and even to Gorham and Bidwell themselves.
But admit this to be true, and what becomes
of all the cry of trickery and corruption this
lively little fellow and Union and Bulletin
chaps have raised against these men2 Did
he put one or the other, or both OF these dele
gates into his pockets, and If he did, what
have they done with the immense sums Of
money said to have been used in the Conven.
tion. The tax rolls of Butte or klamath
ought certainly to show it by this time. But
the whole thing is silly, and perfectly char
acteristic of all the opposition to Gorham
from first to last-the mere idle twa1dle of
men who wish to be bid for, or else have not
sense enough to know what they do want
But this lively little fellow has heard from
Fay & Co. IS love feast, held here last week,
which he calls the Union State Convention,
and sticking up the four names, Bidwell,
McCallum, Jones and Jefferis in large capi
tails, he shouts out at the conclusion of notice
thereof:
/" Rally. then, to the standard of the peo-
ple's choice"
All this, of course, amuses his neighbors,
and they laugh at him. He gets desperate
and concludes another article in this style:
So Come one, come ALI singly or in
packs, the Courant stands upon the firm rock
of Right : and it shall fly as soon as | "
He ought to have added, - Polly put the
kettle on" 'lay Oh MacDuff, who killed
Cock Ropin ~ and one or two other little
phrases to give the thing tone. But verify 1t
is true that the heroic Jones and the patriotic
Jefferis have one lively little champion. Go

A RAILROAD ACQUAINTANCE.-A western
railroad conductor tells the following capital
hit. of which the Times of Cincinnati % makes
q note :"
Zone day last week." said he there
came Oh board the cars, from one of the up
country stations very pretty genteel young
lady, on her way up to this city. She was
alone so | waited upon her to a good seat,
and made her as comfortable as possible. 1t
was few minutes before the starting hour,
and we had pleasant chat.
Afterward, when collecting the tickets,
she detained me again an instant, and gave
me some fine peaches, which she said came
from her friends orchard in the country ;
and really, / began to think that bad not

day.
"Well, we arrived at the depot; and then
/ attended her to the carriage. handed up
her carpet bag: and after all, what do you
think she said ~
Now we thought of course that the young
lady would say, very politely, Thank you.
Sir''-smile like gleam of sunshine-thc
carriage roll off-and our friend John Van
Deusen, the gentlemanly conductor, would
bow an adieu, and with a sigh turn away,
and forget the matter, and we stated that q,
our natural supposition.
No." said the conductor, she did nc
such thing; but just as her foot was on the
steps she turned, and with sort of look
can't describe, observed:
"You must consider this. sir, merely a
car acquaintance. You must not expect tc
be recognized if we meet anywhere else."
John drew long breath.
What did you say?' we asked.
Why thought this rather uncivil, to say
the least, so replied very quickly:
Certainly not, Madam. / was just
going to remark that you must not feel
sighted if unnoticed by me anywhere, ex'
cept on the cars, for really we conductors
have to be careful about our acquaint

snobism' could not have been made, fal

'THE AUSTRALIA CoLoNIEs.-The memorial
OF the Australian Conference on postal CON-
munication with Great Britain contains the
following remarkable statements: Within
the last sixteen years the two colonies of
Victoria and New Sonth Wales have pro-
dueed supply of gold amounting in value
to tl5O, 600, 900 sterling, fve-sisths of which
has been the produce of Victoria alone
The colony of New South Wales has raised
from the earth 4,6l7, 100 tons of coal, valued
at e., 742, 224 and her coal fields north and
south of the port Of Sydney, may be said to
be inexhaustible. New Zealand has risen
within the last few years to an important
position as a producer Of gold and wood =
ln ten years the colony of South Australia
has exported copper to the value of "a, 15l,-

unsurpassed by other countries. The colony
of Queensland. in addition to her pastural
and mining wealth, has establised, by sue
cesstul experiment, her capability of grow
ing both cotton and sugar. Nor are the re
sources Of Tasmania uuimportant to the
British Empire. Her wool, grain, and tim
Der, with the oil of her whale fisheries, form
valuable part of the Australian exports
In the year 1865 the exports of the SIX asso-
sociated colonies in five articles of produc-
ton, which are selected for their conspicuous
value to the world, amounted to more than
2l millions sterling-vis: wool, 9S, l49, ,635;
gold, Ell, l65.Sll; grain, FL 1886, 4S; ;
copper ore, f6lS,472; coal, ETA, ,303.-
The imports into the six colonies in 1865
amounted to E34, ,936, ,907; and, although
this includes the intercolonal trade and the
imports from foreign countries, by far the
greater part of this seaborne commerce
assists in sustaining the manufacturing pow

SIZE OF FEET AS AFFECTED BY LOCALITY.
The New York Hide and Leather Jour
nal notices few of the differences in the
shape of the pedal extremites of the people
in various sections of the country:
'Shoes made for one locality are not
adapted to all. For instance, broad shoe,
wide in the shank, is best adapted to the
Eastern trade, n narrow sole meeting with
but little favor. Rhode Island, though the
smallest State in the Union, can boast Of
having some of the biggest feet that ever trod
sole leather. The Middle States require
simmer shoes and higher insteps than in
the East The instep grows higher as we
progress southwark, commencing with
Virginia, and the foot shorter and more
plump. Rarely at the North, does full
grown man wear less than No. 6, running
up the scale of sizes to No IA but, at the
South, many fullsized man wears fours
and fves, and seldom over mines. The
ladies of the South have confessediy always
had the smallest and prcttiest feet of any race
