BREAD RIors IN EURoPE.-From vari.
Gus parts of Europe we have intelligence
that the working population have risen
in bodies, and demand "bread or blood"
This is On old cry, and one which has
made many a tyrant tremble, but never
did It have SO much significance as now
The curious spectacle of English work
ingmen developing themselves into
something like responsible agents and
free men has somewhat startled the
a~ristocracy from time to time but they
have put off believing until the increase
of cooperative societies, the reform
meetings, and the hopeless yet daring
Fenian instructions have convinced
them they must not tread too heavily
upon the necks of those below them. A
bread riot in England to-day means more
than ever before ; it does not mean sim
ply Give us bread for the moment or
or we de-" but it comes more and more
to mean, "Givo US the power that shall
put us above the necessity Of going with
out bread. Distribute wealth more
equally" This is ominous to the high
and mighty in England. In France, we
hear the peasant population are rioting
in some Of the provinces ; but it is only
because Napoleon happens to be the
least bit unpopular at home just now
that they put in their claims. If it were
a riot in Paris, it would look more reas-
enable, but in the country, %circumstan-
ces are better. Bread riots in either
country have certain "political signif-
canoe" which grows and ripens with
every fresh demonstration.

A GREAT NATURAL CuRIoslrY.-The
great sunken lake situated in the Cas-
cade mountains, about seyenty-6ve
miles northeast of Jacksonville, rivals
the famous valley Of Sinbad the Sailor
It is thought to average two thousand
feet down to the water all around.
These walls are almost perpendicular,
running down into the water, leaving
no beach. The depth Of the water is
unknown, and its surface Is smooth ana
unrufaed, as it lies so far beneath the
surface Of the mountain that the air
currents do not affect it. Its length Is
estimated at twelve miles and its breadth
at ten. No living man has ever, prooa-
bly, never will BIO able to reach the
waters edge. 1t lies silent, still, and
mysterious, in the bosom Of the ever
lasting hills" like q huge well, scooped
put by the hands Of the great genii of
the mountain, in unknown ages gone by,
and around it the primeval forests watch
and ward are keeping. The visiting
party fred q rife several times into the
water, at an angle of forty-ive degrees,
and were able to note several seconds
of time from the report Of the gun until
the ball struck the water. Such seems
Incredible, but it is vouched for by some
most reliable citizens. The lake is GER
tainly a most remarkable curiosity

WHICH WING IS IN THE ASCENDANT? P
The San Francisco Call thinks the
"Peace Democracy" don't amount to a
hill of beans in the organization-that
at least $4,000 Democrats are opposed
to the Radical wing Of the Democracy,
and adds:
"Let such Democrats as these, in
their thousands throughout California,
be added to the $4,000 who did not vote
for Breckenridge and Mcconnell, and it
will be seen how overwhelmingly in the
majority is the moderate and sensible
wing Of the party. That this wing
should have the selection Of the Sena-
tor, and the control Of such legislation
as, in any way, may have a political
bearing, must be apparent enough in
circles where there is a desire to elect,
next year, q Democratic President. If
violent counsels are allowed rashly to
have sway, farewell to the Democratic
expectation of carrying California next
November. The votes that have made
Mr.. Haight Governor are not confirmed
votes in his party"
The Call is in the interest Of Casserly,
or, at least, in favor Of the old Douglas
Democrats.

THE fair sex of this State, says the
Stockton Independent, seem constantly
in trouble-or, rather, determined to
keep the men in trouble. Not a day
passes but we read in the San Francisco
paners of one or more cases of breach
Of promise and applications for divorce;
whats dilemma the "lords OF creation
of California are inf they won't
marry, they are sued for breach Of
promise; aud if they do marry Ine
Court of divorce threatens them. Mo-
men are fastidious creatures, and tneir
whims deserve a little %judicious TRIM
ming.

FLowERY.-Tom Fitch delivered his
sunfower lecture on the "Coming En-
pire" in San Francisco last Thursday.
Wonder whether he told his audience
there, as he did here, of such nonsense
as the cotton fields, the rice swamps,
and the sugar plantations Of Nerdda,
which would be seen in 1900? Just
about as ridiculous as Bill Stewards
windy speech just after he was elected
United States Senator, and which he
made before the Joint Convention which
elected him. He said that when the
great Pacific Railroad would traverse
our State, silver bars would be shipped
by carloads from the Comstock; and
that instead of fifteen millions of dollars
being the annual product, it would run
up to hundreds Of millionsl Stewards
silver trains and Tom Fitch's cotton
fields and rice swamps are fair samples
Of their practical sense-if they have
any.

TuE cars on the Union Pacific Rail-
road commenced running to Cheyenne,
5l7 miles west Of Omaha, on Wednes-
day last. This is the point to which
the company intend to complete the
road this fall, but it is probable that
t~hirty-6ve or forty miles of track will be
laid beyond that point, if the weather
will permit, before the work is suspen.
ded for the Winter, the grading for that
distance being almost completed. Inc
work on some of the deep cuts Will DC
prosecuted during the winter, so that
when the Spring opens but little labor
will be needed to prepare the track ior

A Queer Runaway.


The jewellers on the Lake Como road
were startled by the furious growlings
and roarings of an enraged bear that
came rapidly along the road in the d.
rection Of the city. His bearship was
fortunately stopped and finally taken
prisoner near the outskirts of the city,
and thus probably prevented the sad
task of recording a fearful and startling
tragedy.
The circumstances of the case are
these Prominent sportsmen of this
city had arranged for a shooting match,
to take place at Lake Como, recently.
Among the prizes were to be two bears.
The bears were taken out to the lake on
the day of the shooting match. The
hero of the "raid" was conveyed in the
hind part of one-horse lumber wagon,
some of tho sportsmen sitting on the
seat in front. All went safely and pleas
antly, the bear apparently enjoying his
ride over the hills and valleys. The
company, before proceeding with their
sport, drew up at a saloon to get n
drink, leaving the. horse and wagon at
the door in charge of Bruin. Some one
remarked to the owner of the turnout,
that the horse would be frightened by
the bear, but he had no fear that any
thing would frighten his horse.
All disappeared inside the saloon, and
left the bear master of the situation.
Probably enraged by the neglect, he
whirled round, despite the chain with
which he was fastened, and placing his
paws upon the back of the seat, raised
himself upon his launches and gave o
growl Of decided dissatisfaction. In a
twinkling off went the terror-stricken
horse, pell-mell for the city. The bear
grew frightened and fairly reared; at
which the horse 'fput in" for'dear life.
The faster the horse ran, the louder
Bruin roared and the louder Bruin
roared, the faster the horse ran 1t was
"nip aud tuck" between the two. The
horse "nipped" it for home most fran
tically, and stuck" the bear in its wake,
which fairly shrieked its frantic fear.
After running about three miles the
horse gave out, and vas stopped at the
outskirts Of the city, near the residence
of Col. Noble.
On hearing the noise Of the runaway,
one of the party in the saloon ran to the
door and Immediately cried that the
team was running away, or which the
owner appeared, and spying a cloud of
mud in the distance, in great disgust,
emphatically consigned the team, bear
md nil to a warmer climate. A pursuit
was Immediately made, and a boy put
into the re-captured wagon to drive
back to the lake. On the way Bruin
saw fit to talk a little to himself, when
the horse, somewhat rested, was oil
again like a shot. It, however, kept
tho road to Lake Como, where it arrived
in double quick time.-S. Paul paper

The prospect is favorable for a warm
time during the present session of Con-
gress on the financial question. The
East is all one way and the West an
other. Section lines, rather than party
lines, are being drawn on this subject.
The East demands contraction, the pay
ment of the debt in coin, and the con-
tinuance of the National Banks. New
York is identified with the East, and as
they constitute a gigantic power, the
struggle will be gigantic.

And she would tell me stories
Wv yu, my sweet and sour tomattussesl
She said when mock oranges wuz little known,
Folks used to sit you on mantel pieces for orna
Along with them, and called you
Jerusalem apples!
o, Tomattusses!
What makes you good and
Sweet and sour, with your red
Cheeks shinin among the green
Leeves and lookin as temptin
As you kin Some Nv yu IL
Smooth, like apple, and
Some Nv yu have kreases in YOU
Like fat babys necl
o, Tomattusses!
Do you dream how good you are
With pepper and salt and sumthin
Wet on yu, that tastes like most
Nv the Catobba wine we bi,
Which folks kali vinegar
When I see you sliced up Tor DOWN
I luv va with my whole stummick
What's the reason you wun't discovered
When mi gran muther wuz a little gurl
The world and market men hez lost

O, Jerusalem apple tomattusses!
Did you ever liv before the flud,
And when Adam and Eav were little boys?
Did YOU gro on the banks of the Nile
When the masterdon used to cum
Out to eat grass with his hind legs
In the water? Did he turn yu up
With his pondersomd snoot and go away
And leave yu like the Jews abomination,
Called horg, does nowadays?
That would be hard tn tell
What's the reason no animils eats yu,
Except man an chickens and SIGH :?

The man who first canned yu
Deserves to be Emperor Mexico,

Will there ever be time

Be lost to the world, like sum

After oysters kums. How sad
