Cornell's intermediate Geography, a
valuable work for the use Of public
schools, published by D. Appleton i
Co., New York, 1867. 1t is we'll and
neatly bound in thick pasteboard COW
ers, with morocco back, and contains a
vast amour. of geographical and statis-
teal information of a highly valuable
nature, not only for the education and
information Of youth, but for grown
persons. The typographical execution,
rs well as the wood cuts with which it
is p~rofusely illustrated, are excellent,
aud the maps arc very well drawn,
neatly colored and distinctly lettered,
the outlines being very correct, as a
general thing. We, however, noticed
that the new southeastern boundaries
Of this State, extending to the big bend
Of the Colorado, are not included, as
they might and should have been.

MINING CLAIMS arc hereafter to be
taxed. The Supreme Court has decided
that the statutory provision c%xempting
them from taxation Is unconstitutional,
and it had previously decided that the
title is one which can BIO taxed. AL
though the fee is one in the Federal
Government, still the miners possession
is recognized as property BY the laws
providing for sale, mortgage, lease and
seizure under judgment for debt. There
does not seem to be any good eason
why mines which arc worth thousands
of dollars in the market should not con
tribute their share to the expenses of
the State. The mines owned under
patent, like those Of the Mariposa estate,
are taxed; while the mines held by claim
only are not taxed. When the mines
are assessed tho amount Of taxable
property will be greater, and the rates
can be reduced. Tho exemption of
mines has prevented many miners from
pcrfectiug their titles, and has thus left
tho door open for litigation. Now that
no discrimination can be made by the
Tax Collector against patents, We may
expect a considerable increase in the
number Of applications for perfect titles
to quartz mines.-S. r. Alta.

GoosEruERuNFoopLE.- The Oregon
Herald delivers q homily on Democracy,
from the following text; at knows no
basencss, it covers to no danger, IL
opposes no weakness"
inasmuch as hat party includes oil
the baser elements of society; since it
skunk back ignominiously from advan-
cling rebellion, and has been the savage
prosecutor Of the helpless negro race,
we don't see that the proposition is
quite clear.
The critic, Poe, used to describe a
certain sort of composition under the
name Of "Goosetherumfoodle," mean
ing thereby, nonsensical ~generalities,
Eeebly leading toward absurd conclu-
sious. That is exactly the style pre-
vailing with Democratic newspapers.
One Of Father Ritchie's articles written
Immediately after General Jackson's re-
moval of the deposits, or one Of Beriah's
leaders prepared in Wisconsin when he
was Secretary Of the celebrated "Forty
Thieves" would answer very we'll for
the Herald at present. A judicious al
lusion to tho Resolutions Of 1885," q
learned quotation, such as "Truth
crushed to earth will rise again" or,
so, for a tongue to curse the slave"
together with an obligatory dash at
the abolitionists, and q spread-eagle
a~postrophc to Democracy, are the never
failing ingredients of q 6rst-class Demo-
cratic article. Indeed, it is actually
amazing that someinvcntive genius has
not constructed a machine to edit DEM
ocratic journals, by grinding over old
Congressional debates and political
newspapers of forty years ago.
Our Democratic contemporaries seem
to be in blissful ignorance that tho
United States Bank question has been
settled, that General Jackson is dead,
that Texas has been annexed, that
slavery is abolished, and that their
party of negro-breeders, and gin-shop
keepers, and bloodhound trainers, and
womcn-whipping oyerseers is putrefying
under the demonstrating nostrils of civ
ilization.-Oregon Unionist.

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT. - Dickens

it, and play its part, though its body be

SrABBIyG AFFRAY.-Late on Sunday
night, Patsey Foy, somewhat noted in
pugilistic circles was stabbed in the
shoulder with a pocket-knife, in a saloon
on the corner Of jackson and Kearny
streets, by Chas. McManus. Officers
Marsh and Johnson took McManus into
custody and looked him up, but Foy
did not desire to prosecute him, but
was required to do so by the officers.
His wound was dressed by DR.. Murphy,
and found to be of comparatively slight
importance. II is charged that Nc
Manus committed the assault without
any immediate provocation, borrowing
q pocket-knife Of q friend as he saw Foy
enter the saloon, aud going up to him
and plunging the blade into his Shout
der without a word passing them. On
calling the case in the Police Court,
Charles Frazier, one Of the witnesses
against McManus, failed to appear, and
q bench warrant being issued for his
arrest the Ease was continued for tho
DAYS. r. Alta, 6M.

A STORY OF THE FLAG.-The following
incident is told by a gentleman just
returned from Mississippi: A few
weeks ago a tournament was announced
to be held at Iuka, Mississippi. A
handsome pavilion was erected on the
grounds, under tho direction Of the
hotel. The evening before the enter
tainment the Major of a regiment sta
toned twenty-oight miles from Iuka
stopped at this hotal, in citizens dress,
and, observing tho preparations, sug-
gcsted to the landlord that the pavilion
would be much improved if a handsome
flag were placed on the top. The land
lord asked what kind Of q flag he would
propose to put up? The officer said no
knew of but one flag, the stars and
stripes. The landlord said if he should
run up that flag one-half of his boarders
would leave, and, besides, thore vas
not n United States flag in the place.
The officer asked if there was any Con-
federate flags, and was told that the
hotel-keeper could find fifty, and that
he owned one himself. He added that
he would put up one of them if he dared
to do so.
The Major did not like the spirit ex-
hibited, but said nothing. The first
days sport passed off without Interrupt
ton, but on the morning Of the third
day, when the "Qucen Of Love and
Beauty" was to be crowned, q number
of United States soldiers suddenly made
their appearance. Asthe entertainment
was about to begin, eighty-four soldiers
commanded by the Major, in uniform,
and preceded BY music, marched on the
ground. One Of the men carried n light
ladder, which was quickly placed
against the pavilion, and a staff with
the stars and stripes fastened to 1t wa
nailed to the top. The spectators did
not resist; some Of them left the
grounds greatly disguised. The enter
tainment then proceeded without further
interruption.
Probably that landlord will not again
boast to q stranger Of owning a Con-
federatc fng.-N. Y. Post.

THE RAIN FALL.-A brief season of
cold weather has succeeded the late
heavy rains, but the sky is ~clouding
again, as If another storm were brew
ing. The total rain fall for tho season
Mt this point is about l6 inches, which
is within G inches of the annual average
for the entire rainy season. The total
rain fall in Nevada county to January
Sd, was about Gil feet, or only about 20
inches less than the fall for the whole
season Of 1861. During the latter
season the fall after January LIST was BOT
inches. The increase this season over
last was 1928 inches. The difference
in the amount which falls on the coast
and in the mountains is nearly three
fourths. In tho intervening valleys the
difference is reduced to about one-half.
These facts strikingly illustrate the at
traction of high mountain chains for
rain clouds.-S. F. BaRetin, Jan. 9Th.
