good-looking lady is there with a book ?'
eyes, I've seen her few minutes. -
"By Jove she's splendid"
eyes, think she is
"Where does she live 2"
"In Chicago, believe"
"Pd like to occupy the seat with her."
"Why don't you ask her ?"
~ do not know but it would be out of
order"
at would not be if she was willing to
have you occupy it. Of course you claim
to be gentleman 2"
"Oh certainly IF you are acquainted
with her give me an introduction that is,
if you have no objectious"
Certainly not"
"How far is she going, do you know ?"
Rochester, l believe"
"Give me an introduction, by all means. y
Fixing his hair, mustache and whiskers
in becoming style, he followed the conduc-
tor, who on reaching the seat where the
lady sat, said with peculiar twinkle in
his eye:
"My wife, Mir, of New York,
who assures me he will die before reach
ing Detroit if he does not form your ac-
quaintance."
The gentleman stammered suffered,
grew red in the face, faltered out some
excuse, and returned to his seat, leaving
the lady in company with her husband to
enjoy the joke.

CRIME RAMPANT.

Almost every exchange we open chronicles
some theft, burglary or robbery, committed
in the county wherein the paper is published.
A perfect deluge of rascals seem to afiict the
State, rendering property insecure and de-
stroying the peace of hitherto quiet and un-
disturbed communities. To invoke the as
sistance Of the civil authorities against these
multitudinous outlaws would. fail to produce
results adequate to the demands Of Justice
The occasional arrest and trial Of one of these
offenders generally ends in acquittal through
the absence of positive proof, and the extreme
magnanimity of class of human owls whom
our imperfect laws permit to sit in jury-boxes
and burlesfue the name ofjurymen. In view
of the few arrests made, and the uncertainty
of conviction in the Courts, the people, whose
peace is disturbed and property imperieled,
would be fully justified in taking into their
own hands the business of ridding the coun-
try of the presence of the penitentiary-deserv-
ing horde now busily engaged in foarging
through the State. In case one or more of
the parties engaged in the robberies perpe-
trated in this county are captured, the pop
| ulace would do we'll to revive the old Califor-
MIA style of conducting executions without
orders from courts Let citizens of Shasta
county capture and hang one or two high
haymen, a Ia Vigilance Committee and our
word for it, robbery will cease in this part of
the country and outlaws will shun our local
ity.

The MoTHER.-It has been truly said
The first thing that rushes to the recollec-
ton of a soldier or sailor, in the hearts
difficulty, is his mother. She clings to his
memory and affection in the midst of all
the forgetfullness and hardihood induced
by rowing life. The last message he
leaves is for her, his last whisper breathes
her name. The mother, as she instils the
lesson Of piety and filial obligation into
the heart of her infant son, should always
feel that her labor was not in vain. She
may drop into her grave, but she has left
behind her, influences that work for her.
The bow is broken, but the arrow is sped
and will do its office.

SAD TERMINATIoN.-The career of a
woman who figured largely in the news
paper world within the past eight years,
has had indeed a sad termination. We

from the sick room, to which she has been
for many weeks confined in this city, and
placed on board the cars of the Western
