CONGRATULATIONS

The Saturday Reriew, in criticising
Mr.. Beecher's Norwood takes the
opportunity to compliment the Amcri-
can character for its versatility. The
battle Of life in the United States is
never fought out on " one line MOI IS
the contest confined to " one summer"
Success and failure are both equal in
centives to try a new path. In the
American dictionary, the Rerieip afirms,
that the word " Encouragement might
be left out. This assertion, however,
seems to be n new version of Bulwer's
sentiment in Richelieu, sin the lexicon
of youth which fate reserves for a bright
manhood, there is nj such word rs fail"
Though unsuccessful in one line aud in
one summer, like Grant himself, the
young American keeps "pcgging AWAY"
until the object Of his pursuit is at
tanned. Ono business transforms itself
into another like the changes OF a
kaleidoscope. The press, the bar, the
legislature, the store, missions abroad,
the pulpit or the stump, are so many
platforms on which the transatlantic
actor performs with magical facility at
least such is the comic aspect ascribed
by the Repiep now. Though there may
be q ridiculous incongruity between the
early pursuits and the present occupa-
tions Of many Of our prominent men,
vet there is an easy solution to the prob
lem, by recollecting that the necessity
of gaining ones daily bread compels the
exercise of q trade while tho mechanic
is studying for a profession. In Eng
land public men are ashamed to tell OF
their early struggles, while in America
the expedients to keep the wolf from the
door are related with all the pleasure
that arises from on escaped danger.

PLAIN SPEECH TO MoTHERs.-Profes-
sor Simpson, of Edinburgh, who has
had long experience in the medical
treatment ofmothers and children, gave
q public address lately on matters of
hygiene. He spoke most plainly to
mothers who send their children to the
grave By exposing arms and legs, while
other parts of tho body are warmly
dressed. Mothers, he continued, CON-
nit child murder, and then wonder how
God could be so unkind as to take
away their darling. They not only MUIR
der their children, but in his opinion,
commit suicide themselves, by exposing
their own necks to the cold mir. 1t was
q puzzle which no could not understand,
that woman should cut of the top Of
their dresses and appear with bare
bosons, in refined society, while that
part Of the dress which should protect
the heart and lungs, and other vital or
gans, is trailing in the mud. Not to
speak of health ut the present moment,
we would remark that the exhibition Of
q semi-nudc bust seldom approaches to
the classical standard of harmonious
proportions of parts and fullness Of out
line, and is rarely suggestive Of beauty
and loneliness. The inquisitive observ-
or feels himself quito at a loss to know
tho precise line of division between the
part which fashion claims for exposure
and the rest which modc,ty would con-
ceal. The boundary is too changeable.
More ought to be left to the imagination
and less to be condemned by good taste.
But if mothers and full.grown daugh-
tiers insist on being the victims of FASH
ion, children ought to be exempt from
from its insane and cruel requirements.
What has fashion to do with children,
or they with fashion?

THE Richmond New Nation truly re-
marks: The brave soldiers in both
armies who fought during the four years
of the late civil war are not the men
who are now crying for more war! more
blood and greater Impeachment.
No, they are satisfied with war, suffer-
ing, privations, starvation, blood and
death. The men who never smelled
gun-powder in battle, who never carried
the knapsack and musket on their
shoulders, but who wero army follow
ers, army spectators and soldier
swindlers, and men of all classes who
keep out of danger, are tho men who
now cry for more war, blood and death.
Men who speculated off the misfortunes
of others during the war, and lost moth
ing and sacrificed nothing, may want
another war to make moro money out Of
the necessities of others; but If another
war ever should be forced on the coun.
try (which may kind Heaven forbid), we
hope this class Of men will be forced to
fight to their hearts content, whether
they wish or not.

NATIONAL SCHOOL OF MiNEs.-The
California Assembly, on Thursday last,
had quite o spirited debate on the pas
sage Of q concurrent resolution asking
Congress to locate the National School
Of Mines in California instead of this
State-Austin, we believe, being the
locality contemplated. The objections
urged against the location of the COL
lege in this State, were presented by
Mr.. Dwinelle, of Alameda, and briefly
stated thus: Snow it was proposed to
devote the .ax on bullion to the school
as a special fund, and probably about
nine-tenths Of that tax was raised on
this coast. Yet the proposed location
of the school would be about Eve hun
bred miles east of Sacramento, in that
sage-brush, arsenic, alkali country
whore the face Of nature was enough
to discourage a man and the water
enough to kill him." Now, it strikes us,
that Mr.. Dwinelle had better come over
to Nevada and live here for some time.
He might change his mind, and not
speak so disparagingly of the State of
Nevada. The debate on the resolution
was quite active; and various amend
ments were proposed. The bill as it is
in Congress proposes that the College
shall be located heal the center of the
great mining interests on the west of
the Rocky Mountains, including Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington Territory,
Oregon, Nevada and California. We
don't know but Austin is as neal the
center as any place that could be Sc
lseted, unless We except U~nionri.le,
orsana, Star City, or some place in that
region, on the line of the Continental
Railroad.

ding sales of public lands, except under

is to be hoped thatit will so farther and
reach the Wholesale grants of land to
railroad companies, under which a very
large portion Of the public domain has
been given away to spectators. The
public lands, properly managed, will be
o source Of immense income for many
years. They are in value sufficient of
themselves to assist largely in the re-
duction of the national debt, and they
ought to be so disposed of as to assist
in lessening the public burdens.

ADVERTISING PEoPLE.-Says the Bos-
ton Post, ~"peoplo who advertise are
smarter than those who don't; better
looking, too, nine in ten. This is natu-
raj, If not logical. Advertising is an
indication of intelligence, and intelli.
gence is one of the leading elements Of
good looks. At all events the world
believes in those who advertise, and it
plants its dollars in their pockets.
Such are live people; and in these live
days nobody wants anything TO do with
any but your live men and women. Our
advice to ererybody-cxcept in matri-
mony-is to advertise. 1t is sure to
return largely, increase your reputation
as a business man, mako hosts Of
friends, and add to the number OF shrewd
and sensible people in the world, of

Homcly girls, as u general thing,
make the best wives, although they are
not the most sought after. There are
very few men in the world who are
i~nsensible to the charms of a pretty
face, and are not naturally attracted
toward it. For this reason it is that a
man with q pretty wife is always a sub
ject of envy, and more liable to little
difficulties in his family affairs through
the interference Of other men than any
body else; q nan with q homely toad
faced wife never has any occasion for
fears in that respect. Domcstically she
doesn't care two straws for any other
man but him. She is a good house,
keeper, and does her own work she
never wants any good looking servant
girls about the house. She loves her
husband, and her children are numer-
Gus, healthy, fat and well behaved. She
makes good bread, delights in soap and
water, and cuts and makes all her own
and children's dresses. She is a valu-
able acquisition. She knows she is
homely, therefore never fools away her
time trying to look extraordinarily
pretty, and is not eternally rampant
after the latest styles Of dresses, hats
or bonnets. She never firts with other
men, nor is afflicted with O mania for
costly mirrors, Brussels carpets, and a
piano. She loves her home and oil
connected with it, and is always trying
to render it all the more loyeable.

A novel way Of reducing big trees to
stovcwood, and in almost no time at
all, has recently been developed in
France. Officers connected with the
military ordnance department expert
meuted with a peculiar style of small
cannon, firing at a cluster Of trees fifteen
hundred yards distant. The effect was
surprising. The trees were all cut down
close to the ground in a very few min
utes, the trunks, and even the stumps,
being considerably shattered and broken
up. A company of men armed with q
few such engines of death might destroy
q whole army in q very short space of
time, if it got in the way. A few big
guns of that same pattern might per-
haps be found a very profitable sort of
an arrangement in the wood chopping
districts of California or Nevada. What
a terrible rafting it would make among
our brittle nut-pines!

roR VARIETIES.

The significance, the really sly
weigh,y aud Intelligent meaning that
can be impaired to "a common pocket
handkerchief, especially at the hands OF
a pretty, interesting, young, unmarried
female. is not generally understood or
fully appreciated, yet a world of mys-
FERROUS information can be quietly tele-
craphed by this means, uunoticed and
uuintellible to needless outsiders. In
evidence of what can be conveyed by
these sly little FITTINGS of cambria, an
exchange gives the following series OF
established "signs" for the especial
edifcation of the uuposted: "Drawing
across the lips-desirous Of getting ac-
q~uainted; drawing across tho eyes-l
am sorry; dropping-we will be friends;
twirling in both hands-indiference;
drawing across the cheek-l love you;
drawing through the hands, hate you;
letting it rest on the right cheek-yes;
twirliug in left hand-I wish to get rid
of you; twirling in right hand love
another; folding i'll wish to speak
with you; over the shoulder-follow
me; opposite in both hands-wait for
me; drawing across the forehead-you
have changed; placing on right carl
have a message for you; letting it re-
main on the cyes-you are cruel; wind
ing around the forefnger-means either
l am married or l am engaged; on the
top of the head-it's all right"
A lady dropping her handkerchief in
the street or other public place has
often led to important and very happy
results. 1t gives a bashful admirer tho
neatest chance in the world to show his
~gallantry, make a good point and do
the agreeable generally. We know of
q young lady who once dropped her
pocket-haudkerchief on tho sidewalk, to
be picked up and restored to her by a
rich widower. Eyes met eyes, civilities
were interchanged, and although per-
feet strangers, in less than two years
afterwards she wal a widow, worth
forty thousand dollars. The most af-
fecting instance of true %politeness in
that line we ever heard of is the follow
ing: A lady crossing a bridge in Paris
came in full view Of q gentleman in q
state of nudity, bathing in the river.
Her modesty impelled her at once to
clap her handkerchief to her eyes, and
as she passed on, accidentally happened
to drop it. The bather with true French
poli.eness Immediately sprang out of
the river, picked up the handkerchief,
ran up to the lady aud calamity re-
turned it to her, with IN apology for
not having stopped to put on his gloves.
Tho lady did not faint. They were
married inside Of q week.
