HApprNEss.-It would form, perhaps,
one Of the most instructive chapters in
poetic history to compare the various
opinions expressed by the inspired con-
corning happiness. He who dwells iu a
lonely valley believes happiness resides
in a crowded city among company and
books ; while he who sings among the
rattle of other mems chariot wheels, and
the smoke Of ten thousand chimnies,
fixes the abode Of happiness by the side
of some purling brook, beside a green
bill, where the wind Is ever fragrant
and the voice Of nature alone is heard.
The high born bard, sick Of the hollow
courtesies of polished society, sigbs for
the pastoral solitudes, where flowers
never fade and focks never stray and
beauty never is out Of blossom. The
shepherd bard, on the other hand, who
has to wander over moors and noun
tains, half choked in winter with snow,
and half scorched in summer with burn
ing suns, who has to shear and clip bis
hocks, as we'll as keep them from the
fox, and save them, too, from smother
ing in a snow wreath, onvies the opu-
lent, and longs to be a lord. There was
some sense in the remark of n Scotch
man, who, in reading the saying Of Sol
ONION, "snow is beautiful in its sea-
son." remarked, "Aye, a doubt 1t
was beautiful to you, sitting with the
rich wines and the lasses Of jerusalem
sitting aside you but had ye been n
poor stone mason ye would hae said nae
such thing"

that he is going to do the work Of his

products of the lower conditions. Our

work together for our good.

FROM SACRAMENTO.

SACRAMENTO, November 9.-No East
ern dispatches received last night.
Tabular statements Of election re-
turns for this State, carefully revised
and corrected from official and other
kilograms, received up to u late hour
last night, foot up q majority for Grant
of COG, ten counties being official,
and allowing 3s9 majority for Grant in
Humboldt County, although latter fig
ures are not given MS perfectly correct.
A dispatch received at 1880 last night
stated that twelve precincts in Hum
boldt County gave Grant 2G3 majority.
Gorham's majority in that county last
year was 264. An increase in these fig
ures is expected in Grants favor,
though it may not reach tho l2G votes
allowed in the above estimate. II
Grant should receive only Gorham's
majority in Humboldt County it would
reduce his majority in the State to 500.

The REsULr IN THIS SrArk.-For sew
eral days past the result Of the State
election has remained in doubt, and
hopes more or less strong have been en-
tertaiued on either side. Even so late
as up to 10 o'clock last night there were
sauruine Democrats who protested to
believe that California had gone for
Seymour. But at the hour when the
CIroniek went to press sufficient returns
had been received at this office to prove
beyond question that the State had
given a small Republican majority.
The contest has been very close; but
the fact that the Republicans have sue
ceeded in overcoming Haight's majority
is very significant Of the tendency OF
popular sentiment. It proves that the
people are not so mean, so sordid, and
so unpatriotic, as the stump orators and
the scrub journalists Of the Democratic
party have been inclined to imagine

Order.
On the LIST Of March last Dr.. Morris
said he started on his tour of the Holy
Land. He made Beyrout his headquar-
tiers. He found there u Masonic Lodge
known as No. $50. Palestine Lodge.
The ritual and ceremonies were in
French, and, in fact, through Syria
French influences were in the a%scendan-
cy. He spoke of Rev. Mr.. Fisk, u Mis-.
sionary from this country, who had
been made u son before leaving the
United States, and the greater influence
he exerted as q Missionary on this ac-
count. Very soon after his arrival he
paid his respects to the Grand rasns,
being admitted to his presence nrougn
his credentials as u Mason Inc fasus
was deeply interested in his errand, ana
Afforded him every possible assistance
AZ his command. On parting with the
Pasba the latter, under his own sign
and seal, gave him a letter that procured
him the best attention elsewhere. Only
the best class are Masons. The poorer
classes are bigotedly prejudiced against
il. Roman Catholic influence through
out the Orient was opposed to Masonry.
From Beyrout he went to Damascus.
Here he found sixteen Masons, all OF
great e~miuenee, beginning with
the Pasha. While there he helped
to organize a Lodge. Among the
Moslems he found great attach.
ment to Freemasonry. Moslems and
Christians unite on the platform OF
Freemasonry. He spoke in turn Of his
visits to Tyre, Jaffa, Jerusalem and
other places additionally connected
with Freemasonry. He found Tyre,
which once sent forth 100000 men to
help build Solomon's Temple, a miser-
able town. He did not find q Mason
here. Its ancient splendor and intelli-
gence had departed. OF label and
Lebanon he gave about the anne ac-
count. At Jaffa he discovered more rel
les of ancient Freemasonry. He here
found Eve Masons, including the Emir.
| For a moment he branched off from
his topic to speak of a Yankee enter
prise in the establishment of an omni-
bus route between Jaffa and Jerusalem,
on the old road to which was drawn the
cedar from Lebanon used in building
Solomon's Temple. He next spoke ut
length of his researches at Jerusalem.
He went to the quarry whence were
taken the stones for building the Tenn
| pie, and there found many Masonic en-
blems dating back to the times Of the
Crusaders, and he believed they could
be found running back to the time Of
| Mslchizedek. He described his visit to
the Mount Moriah, where was founded
the Knights Templary of Freemasonry.
The tomb Of the first Grand Comman-
der is still to be seen there. The lee
turer uufolded in turn his researches
throughout all Palestine, and gave in
teresting descriptions of various Ma
sonic emblems he continually met in
the course of his travels. Though
speaking over an hour he was listened
to with deep and unaagging interest,"

try require it soon and in liberal guam.
tity.
Grain is not going up. It was higher
in July than now. The ships waiting
to be laden with it cannot be nccommo-
dated at the prices offered, as farmers
can afford to and prefer to hold out for
better rates. In the spring, when this
years crop will be put into market at
current rates, whatever they may be, IL
will be difficult and perhaps impossible
to procure vessels to transport IL abroad.
Although labor on farms is now at
about its lowest ebb, yet there is so
much other work going on that labor is
still in demand and at prices equal, and
in most cases superior to 1872 and
1853. 1t is probable from present APP
pearances, when we take into consider
alton the great breadth that will be laid
down to grain, and the improvements
needed in San Francisco on property
injured by the late earthquake, that the
demand for labor oil through the winter
will be almost as much as now.

HonRIBLE ArRocIrY.-A man named
Humboldt, q resident Of Anaheim,
nearly sixty years old, was arrested on
Friday last about fifteen miles from this
city, on the overland road, for having
committed q rape on q little girl be-
tween seven and eight years old. 1t
appears that tho wretch, Humboldt, was
intimate in the family Of a man named
Werder, and taking advantage Of a fla
vorable opportunity committed the
crime upon one Of Werder's little
daughters ; but, terribleto relate Hum
boldt was afflicted with a horrible dis
ease at the time and communicated 1t
to the child. The parents loon became
aware of the fact by the disclosure Of
the child, and Humboldt, upon being
taxed with the crime, confessed it. The
unnatural parent compromised the af-
fair for the sum Of $4,000, which Hum
boldt paid and left Auaheim with the
intention Of quitting the country. The
Sheriff obtained possession Of the facts,
and learning that he was seen in his
wagon some distance west of the city,
started on the overland stage in pur-
suit, first Disgusting himself, rs Hum
boldt was known to be we'll armed.
Arriving at the 6fteen-mile station, he
found Humboldt waiting there to see IL
he could recognize any Of the passen-
gers. Here the driver stopped to oil
the a1les Of his coach. Humboldt, be-
ing zeal the coach, was requested to as
sist the driver for q moment to raise one
ofthe wheels. He consented, and while
STOPPING down for that purpose was
seized by the arm by the Sheriff and
Immediately disarmed of two pistols
aud n Bowie knife. He had a loaded
double. barreled shotgun in the wagon
at the time, which was also secured.
Had it not been for the ruse Of the
Sheriff, Humboldt, no doubt, would
have made a desperate resistance
