Coon DEEDS HAVE no SABEATH.-Ihe following
admirable anecdote is from Breslau, and is of
recent date Not long since an elderly man with
bare head stood in an eating house, surrounded
by crowd Of people. The landlord held the
man hat and cane in his hands, ard,au impu-
dent waiter stood between the guest and the
door. The confusion of the old man was iade-
scribable He seemed to be for the first time IN
his life in such a scrape-sail nothing, looked
down on the ground and with difficulty restrain
ed his tears, while all around Knocked and jeered
him. Just then a poorly dressed Jew. with
long white beard, entered and inquired what il
ali meant with an expression OF almost feminine
curiosity. lie was told that the man had eaten
and drunk, and now that he must pay, lie
searched his pockets in vain for money. 4" " ell,
exclaimed the Jew, - see the old man for the
first time, but I'll be bound he did not come
here to cheat. And landlord, suppose he had
no money to forget, couldn't you for once give
poor man something to eat for GOD sake?
How much does he owe, anyhow ~ The deb!
was eight silver groschen, and the Jew payiag
this, took the poor old man by the hand and led
enjoy the reproof which their brutality had re-
ceived, and one insolent fellow cried cut: " Hey!
Jew, what have you done this is the Sabbath
and you have touched money D." This is for
bidden to the Israelites. . You are right,
answered the Jew. just now l forgot that
was Jew, just as you forgot that you were
Christian. But you may rest easy on my ac-
count; | understand my commandment which
says, Honor the Sabbath and keep it HOLY
Just get some schoolmaster to explain il to you
and if he is reasonable man he will agree with
me. Good deeds have no Sabbath" And with
these words the good man left the room.

THE HUMBoIDT ISDIAY WAE.-There seems to
be little room to doubt that on the verge
of another Indian war on the Northwest coast of
this State. The Indians in Humboldt, Mendo-
cino, Trinity and Klamath counties have lately
killed several white men, attacked others, stole
many horses, and committed various acts of hos
tility, all of which indicate the approach of q
war.-Maria County Journal
We desire to enter protest against any
such alarming statement. Col. Stockton and
three others were murdered by single Indian
it is true. That Indian with few others, (esti-
mated~at from six to fifteen are at large, but
we have heard of no other depredations IF the
authorities at Hoopa do their duty 10 of the
red devils will be allowed to leave the Reserva-
ton, which would be necessary to place US On
the verge of another Indian war. q Frank, "
the leader of the party above referred to, has
avowed his intention to never be taken alive, but
we incline to the belief that with proper effort
he can be taken dead. \ general outbreak is
not antcipated-in fact, can hardly occur. We
say this much because such statements as the
above are calculated to result prejudlcially to
the interests of the counties referred to. If we
believed another Indian war inevitable We should
not hesitate to say So

Why WOMEN CANNOT BE MAsoNs.-A fair con-
tributor having asked the editor Of the Masonic
department of the New York Dispatch why wo-
men cannot become Masons, he answers by re-
lating the following anecdote:
1t is said that when King Solomon was still
young man; he had married his seventh wife
She beautiful young Ammonitess, with
locks as black the ravens wing, and eyes as
bright as the eagles. 1t was believed that she
was the favored fair one among all the sultanas
of the Great King, for his affections were not di-
vided then, as they afterwards became. She
knew her power, and used it unsparingly. In
addition to her other qualities, she was as in
qusitive ever woman on this earth.
One evening King Solomon attended Lodge on
some grand occasion, and stayed out somewhat
late. When he returned home he found the fair
Ammonitess in the dumps, and pouting just like
the dear wives of Masons do sometimes now
when their lords stay out too late at Lodge. She
upbraided him with neglecting her, insnuated
that he hadn't been to the Lodge, as he pretend
ed, and insisted that in future he should give
proof that he went there by having herself initi-
ated, so that she might go there and watch him.
I" Daughter of Ammon," replied the King,
. thou hast behaved thyself rs one of the foolish
women, in presuming to question thy lord and
master Thou art not so angry with me as thou
pretendest to be, for the true reason Of this be-
havior is thy Unsuitable curiosity, in which thou
excellest Eve herself Know, then, that | here
ordain that neither thou, nor any Of thy inquisi-
tive sex after thee, ever enter the portals of a
Masonic Lodge; but l shall enjoin the Tiler to
pierce through with his drawn sword any woman
that shall attempt to enter Lodge-aye, even
thee, Queen of Israel though thou be !" AND
that ordinance of this wisest Of monarehs has
continued in force till this day
We hone now. that we have satisfied thp curi
osity of our fair readers as fully as did King Sol
omon that of his Queen

TREASON VINDIcATED-That able and truly
loyal paper, the Carson Appeal, in commenting
at considerable length on the decision of Judge
Deady in the case of Mccall against Gen. Mellow
ell, uses the following language, which we
heartily endorse. 1t says:
''This decision is a shame and disgrace to
American jurisprudence. The gingerly apologies
of the Judge for making it proves that he felt that
it needed to be antidoted by some sort of sooth-
ing syrup Straight ht-forward just decisions,
grounded on the external basis of the Radical
right need excusatory apologize. They stand
and show for themselves.
1t then asks the following questions:
ais this Government to abandon its officers
and soldiers to the tender mercleS OF Conserva-
tive Judges and Copperhead juries Are dam
ages to be thus awarded to black-hearted rebels
for having their treason silenccd by arrest and
their evil designs thwarted and rebuked by tenn
porary imprisonments? Are to be told by
the Courts that though successful in our great
war against rebellion, We were all wrong, and
by strict and intelligent Interpretation OF the
law they who took active part in shooting
rebels and burning their places of rendezvous are
amendable to hanging? We can arrive ut no
better conclusion by following Judge Deadly
decision to its legitimate, logical result
In conclusion, the appeal says;
- The people-the loyal people-of San Fran
cisco should see to it that Mcdowell is not put
to one cents expense. Let them make up, by
subscription, the amount for which he is liable
and present him with it, assuring him, at the
same time that they will stand by him whenever
he thinks himself called upon to send another
loud -mouthed treason-spouter to Alcatraz.'

a FRANK lNDoRSEMENr.-Th Plumas National
ernor IN the following unmistakable terms: q In
expressing our preference for General Bidwell
we would not be considered as making war Upon
the other Union candidates for Governor, for we
believe that all who are in the field for that posi-
ton, are capable men, and we propose to abide
cheertully by the decision OF the Union State
convention, and support heartily its entire list
OF nominees, whoever they may be. But sub
Ject to that decision. we do not hesitate to an
nounce our unqualified preference for General
Bidwell, with belief that he is the choicesof
the great body of members of the Union party of
our county. The grounds upon which we adyo-
cate the nomination of General Bidwell, are the
same as those which have already secured to
him the enthusiastic support of very many Union
papers Of the State: His un1oubted capacity
his sterling integrity, and, above all, his un-
finching devotion to the great principles to hch
the Union party is committed entitle him to our
regard and confidence. His straig t-forward
course in regard to all the great measures which
have come before the body of national represen-
tatives of which he has been q member and the
firm stand which he took at the very commence
ment of the rupture between the President and
Congress, before the question at issue had been
agitated among the people, convince that he
is a Radical Union from principle, and not
a mere scheming politician, who would shirk the
responsibility of assuming a position upon new
issues until popular opinion is known, or betray
his party for mess of pottage. We consider
General Bidwell an honest com1etent tried and
true public servant, and as such we desire to see
him rewarded by elevation to tie high position
of honor and trust for which he is named''

amid the spontaneous reioicings of millions, the
tale of their struggles and privations their toll,
hardships and suferings, endured and borne as
the price of their liberties is told to their chill

The Paris papers give US 80 many rumors
concerning the projected visits Of European
sovereigns to the Exhibition. that people may
subject, the more particularly o. some Of these
announcements have been contradicted almost
az soon as made. That which reached us On
Tuesday by the cable, stating that the Sultan
of Turkey had made up his mind to follow in
the wake Of the two or three royal percentages
who have already arrived there, would seen
at first sight extremely improbable. The well
known Incidence Of Abdul Aziz, and the shock
that such departure from the ideas and
prejudices of his predecessors would give to
bis Moslem subjects, are certainly against his
attempting the journey. On the other hand,
we have a number of circumstances which
would go to support the correctness Of the
statement
In the first place, the position Of affairs in
the East has become so critical that it would
almost seem to necessitate q personal inter-
view between the Sultan and the sovereigus
who are most interested in maintaining tho
integrity of his dominions-the French EN-
peror and Queen Victoria. Louis Napoleon
has scheme on hand by which he thinks he
can settle the differences between the Porte
and its Christian subjects without its giving up
Crete or any Of its other European possessions.
Then we know that French influence has
latterly become paramount at Constantinople,
which is fast assuming the character Of
French city. The new streets are being
designated by French titles, and French
nunneries and educational establishments
are fast multiplying in every quarter Of It.
Not long since the Sultan coded very valua-
BILE piece OF land, on which the old harem for
merly stood, to the Sisters Of Charity, for IN
orphan school; and when, in order to convey
the title, 1t became necessary for high digui-
tary Of the government to be present, ne sent
a letter TO the mother superior expressing his
regret that the inclemency Of the weather pre-
vented his going there himself The incident
serves 10 mark the extraordinary change which
has taken place in the Moslem mind concerning
Christianity and Its professors For some
wears past the revolution has been quietly pro-
crossing through the influence Of the young
Turks who received their education in France,
and who returned to Constaotinople emanci-
mated from the fanatical notions with which
they had been early imbued. The Sultan him
self is a man OF very liberal ideas, and, il he
were less dsinclined to work. might do great
deal for the advancement Of his people. That
he should undertake journey TO Paris during
the Exhibition would be consistent NOT merely
with his tastes, but with the political necessi-
ties Of his position The event, therefore,
improbable "A Il may seem, is just ~ likely "
