GENUS PREVAILS AT LAsT.-There are thou
sands of right-thinking people in California who
will rejoice in the election of the Hon. Tom Fitch
to Congress, from Nevada. Notwithstanding
the spendor of his abilities and the great service
he has rendered the Republican party, he has
been pursued and traduced by pack of mean
and envious scrubs, who are now reduced to the
wretchedness of seeing him in situation where
he is certain to make for himself national
renown. One speech in Congress, such as he
made in the American Theater year ago, will
sufficiently assert the presence of Nevada

SEVERAL of the Republican papers have been
indiscreet enough to abuse Mr. Harrison, while
others have intmated that he defeated by
his personal unpopularity. We have been salts
fed from the day the result ascertained that
Mr.. Harrison made as good canvass as any man
named in the District for the position could have
made. We supported Westmoreland in the Con-
vention under the idea that he could get more
votes than Harrison, but are now satisfied he
would have received less, had he been the nomi-
nee. When Grant failed to get majority in the
Third District, that settled its political status,
and silenced all tongues disposed to abuse Mr..

A REMARKABLE MEMoRY.-Boys are sometimes
endowed with remarkable memories. The Keen
family, of the State of Texas, consisted of three
girls and boy-the latter only four years old.
They all sitting round the fire one evening,
engaged in telling how far back they could recol-
lect. One of the girls recollected when she had
"a doll that winked with both eyes" Another
recolected when she was "a little baby, and
Nancy tckled her feet" Johnny Keen, who
was the last and least of them all, said he recol
lected 90 russ than that" s'How wuss?" said all
the girls in breath. "0h, recollect three
weeks afore I'ze born, and how cried all the
time for fear I'd be gdL!"

The Wanderer.


Fair was the which he left his home,
glorious sunset closed the lovely day;
And rising from her eastern hight, the
Beamed over heaven and earth with silver ray:
When by her light his gentle mother. gray

And bade him to his Heavenly Father pray,
And Keep the Saviour constantly in view
through"
Turning aside his face. that would betray
His throbbing heart. in every rising sigh,
And brushing hastily tear away
That forced a pathway from his moistened eye
He bade each loved and loving friend "good bye"
And tearing sadly from the side of one
He held more dear than aught beneath the sky,
He waved last adieu The next days sun
Found him lonely wanderer, far from friends and
home.
Within a city's crowded mart he stood,
And listen'd to the soft, persuasive song
That strove to win him from the wise and good,
To mix in dissipaton's giddy throng:
And though full well he knew the path was wrong,
He turned to take the step which thousands rue,
He seemed to hear his mothers words so true
And rushing from their midst quick left the motley
crew.
Far DER the rolling oceans restless wave
He wanderd with a bold, adventurous crew,
Who sought no counsel, cared for nothing. save
What their desires and selfish passions knew
And, as their influence daily stronger grew,
His better reason seemed to quit her throne
But ere her teachings faded quite from view,
A approach to death led him to
His mothers words true, and God God alone
Arrived at length upon a distant shore,
Where men of every nation mix and mate;
Who heed but little the golden ore
Who care for nothing but their own estate;
On such his scrupes bore but little weight,
And gaily minging in the fgpitless quest
OF joys his foolish fancy did 4te,
He stilled the sumbering conscience in his breast,
And forgot that prayerhis mothers last behest
But when far up some rugged mountains hight
He journey'd on to reach the promised goal
While sitting round the glimmering camp-fre's
light
And listening to the torrents ceaseless roll,-
Strange feelings gather'd round his youthful SOUL
Familiar voices seemed to fill the air,
And while to cheer his heart they passed the bowl,
Sad memory alone working there
And foremost i'll the list appeard his mothers prayer
And still DER Cafornias golden hills
He wanders in the eager search of gain,
And still endures the many and ills
That follow miners path of pain.
And though his voice amid the festive train
Is heard to cheer gally the rest
Strange thoughts will often fit across his brain
Remorseul feelings. rising in his breast,
Bring back with ten-d force his mothers last request

LONGEVITY OF MULEs.-We have hume
rous reports of mules attaining the age of
forty, fifty, and sixty years, and Colonel
Middleton, of South Carolina, stated some
years ago that he had one at work on his
plantation eighty years old; and we have
seen an account of mule in Ireland, certi-
fed to have been at work since 1907, making
him over a $50 years old. This is, of course,
a very uncommon age but we are satisfied
that, with proper usage, mules would COM
monty attain to about FORTY years, being ser
viceable to the last-and this should be
counted as one Of their elements Of value
Facts for Farmers.

THE Snow which covers our bleak hills
and valleys has been spread, like winding
sheet, over nearly every foot of ground be-
tween here and the California Coast Range.
The Marysville papers report a fall of snow
in that city to the depth Of four or five inches;
Oroville has had like visitation and by the
same storm, the streets Of Sacramento were
covered to the depth of two inches or more.
The like was never known before. Indeed,
from what accounts we can gather, that storm
extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Three thousand miles of driving, binding
snow! Here in Carson, the unusual good
sleishing partly compensates US for the
intense cold. The boys with their sleds
tackle the sleighs as they go sliding by, and
hitching their ropes on behind, get the jolliest
kind of rides. Captain Winnie seems to get
big share of this sort Of towing to do. The
mails come in on runners; and when the
boys yesterday attempted to hitch on to
the post sleigh. they got "cut behind
from the driver that sent them off in a hurry.
We thought he could have afforded to be a
little better natured. Extemporized "pungs"

by the milkman who was its chief engineer,
fetching away in a lurch spilled him and
another chap right into the snow. The
boys tried to harness this thing when
it got righted, but the milkman's
companion acted as rear guard and kept the
lads off by vigorously plying his heels. Now
and then a slashing turnout from Virginia
comes gaily along, at brisk pace, to the
music of the bells, going too rapidly for the |
nrchins to catch up with. Everybody is try

LIFE INsURANCE.-The following, from
the New York Insurance Journal of Dec.
81, shows the amount of business transacted
by the Continental Life Insurance Company
OF New York, during the month of Novem-
Der:
This company continues its uRrivalled
course of prosperity. Within the last month
that is from October 26 to November 30,
lS67-it has issued 537 policies, increasing
its former total of 4,555 to 1902, increasing
in the same period the amount insured from
Sl3,0l0,0 900 to 1902, 900, its annual income
from SSS0,0l6 to 81, O27 .S32, and its assets
from S102,913 to S194,402. This is literally
che labor Of twenty-nine days, whilst the
whole fabric thus far constructed is the work
of but eighteen months. Neither in our own
knowledge of life insurance, nor in its his
tory as gained from other countries, is there
any parallel Of such rapid progress.

The TEMPERATURE.-Altho there are
many conflicting statements as to the degree
Of cold prevailing hereabout, as indicated
BY the Thermometer, there is a general agree
ment upon the one opinion thatthe tempera-
ture is bitterly frigid-colder than any time
within the memory Of the Oldest inhabitant,
in fact. We believe that thermometer at
the Magnolia Saloon-possibly an instru-
,nent oftropical origin and therefore morbid
ly sensitive to the cold-showed the prevail
ing condition of the air to be eight degrees
below zero, yesterday morning. while a
tougher and less susceptible thermometer at
Munckton & Warmers Drug Store stood, at
just precisely zero. We reckon it will do
to strike an average between the two, and
call it four degree. below. Anyhow, the
cold was quite as severe as there is any de-
mand for; and, inasmuch as there has been
already gathered sufficient ice crop to keep
the town cool through the heat of next sum
mer, a " January thaw" may be considered
in order.

ENGLAND's TYRANNY OVER IRELAND
Saws the New York Tribune:

England seems determined to keep Ireland
in ferment. In addition to the interdict
against funeral demonstrations in memory of
the executed Fenians, a prosecution is to be
instituted against certain orators who made
speeches in Dublin. We can imagine nothing
more unfortunate than this. The law thus
applied to Ireland is not applied to England.
Mr.. Beales may speak in London, but Mr..
Martin cannot make a similar speech in
Dublin. One law governs England. another
Ireland, the difference being the difference
between liberty and tyranny.
