an hour after the passengers and crew had

TIE family of Mr.. Hamer, Of Califor.
MIA township, Bsrrisn County, Mich,
were made the victims Of a practical
joke, a few days since, which was fol.
lowed by painful results. A bag, con.
tanning a cat and a litter Of kittens, was
left on their doorstep n night and,
a few evenings after, another bundle
was left in the Same place. Surprising
it to be q repetition Of the previous
prank, Mr.. Hamer took it, and, withou,
opening it, threw it into the st. Joseph
River, which flows near his house. His
wife, feeling somewhat apprehensive
concerning the bundle, went and fshed
i. out Of the river, when her worst fears
were realized, for it contained the body
of an infant child, apparently about ls
hours old. Pinned to its clothing was
a SIS bill, and q note addressed to Mr..
Hamer's people, telling them to bring
the child up in a Christian-like manner.
and they would receive their reward
hereafter. Mr.. Hamer's horror may
well be imagined on making the discov-
cry. Efforts are being made to asesr-
tain the guilty parents.

A man-trap has been invented
by an ingenious citizen of Carrollton,
La. Stimulated by the rapid and un-
accountable disappearance Of his chick
ems, he lit upon the happy idea of
building his c~hicken-house Just above o
well, and constructing over the top OF
the we'll q .trap-door, so arranged that a
party entering the house would iuevila-
bly, tumble in. A few mornings later
the game was bagged. At the foot of
the well, in q couple Of feet of water,
sat q chicken-fancier, in a woeful plight,
bruised and dripping. He was 6shed
up and quietly lodged in Jail. A second
individual was similarly captured sew
eral days later.

CHINESE labor in the Southern States,
it is asserted by the English journals,
furnishes the only hope of relief to the
cotton manufacturers Of Lancashire,
The negroes, it is argued, number only
two-thirds Of their strength before the
war, and are also dying out. Again,
they will not work as indus,riously as
under the compulsory system, and the
present capacity Of harvesting cotton is
believed to be limited to the reduced
crops grown in the last two seasous.
Furthermore, white labor cannot be en-
ployed in the cotton field, and the con-
clusion is therefore arrived at that the
Chinese coolies furnish tho only accessi-
BILE supply Of laborers.

CARSON CITY 4

From the Appeal Of this morning.l
FIVE MEN Drowned IN LAKE TAHOE
Between 8 and Q o'clock, on Wednesday
evening, the LIST inst, James Henley,
James Kane, Isaac Stein, Charles Au-
derson and VIM. Riddle, started from
Tahoe City ic o boat, for Warm Springs,
at the north end Of the Lake, distant
about eleven miles. As the boat has
since been found, capsized, and the men
have neither been seen nor heard OF
since they embarked, though diligent
search has been made, they were doubt
less drowned. The night was very dark,
an. the Lake exceedingly rough. Every
effort possible will be made to recover
the bodies.
BELLIGEREST.-Sunday was a day OF
considerable excitement. Two combats
appear to have taken place one at the
livery stable of Mrs. Smith, between
the hostler and q gentleman from Gold
Hill. We did o witness the f~racas,
but from the printed counteuance ofthe
man Of horses, we conclude the Gold
Hitler is powerful in the shoulder. The
other fight was between two residents Of
this place, Of the same family, one a
very old man, who we hear vas serious
ly injured. Shameful exhibitions, these,
in any community.
MORE BURGLARIEs.- The rooms Of
General Marlette were broken into on
Saturday night. The General, we be-
lieve, had recently moved into new
quarters, and to the one in which he
was sleeping, and which contained most
of his articles Of much value, they did
not enter. 1t is not known that they
carried away anything. The house of

the trip in A days and Ia hours.
LocoMorIvEs.-Two locomotives are
already in Carson. Another will be

days, and tomorrow two others will
start from Philadelphia to come over
the Pacific. road for this place. The

FALSE hair, il is asserted by the
journals Of Paris, has fallen in valne as
much as so per cent. It is calculated
that If all the false hair worn by tho
Partisan ladies were collected in the
Place Vsndome and piled up, it would
reach to the top Of the Napoleon col
umu. The price of these head decora-
tons is very high. A light golden or
s~traw-colored hair composition, which
falls from the crown Of the head down
the back, is valued at $40.

ALL ABOUT LovE.-Never waste your
life in loving any one who does not
love you. Laugh, as some prosaic peo-
pie may, at love, it certainly is true
that men, and women, too, have died Of
it. 1t fastens on the human heart as
some mauy-clawed sea-monsters-"dey-
il fish," for i~nstance-do upon any
thing, and there is no c~oaxing or pull
ing it away. But just as you may cut
those deadly tentacles off, If they are
fastened to your body, so you may cut
away the love that has grown to be a
misery ; only you must do it In time,
that the wound may be cured, and a
love that you may cherish planted there
in place Of 1t. There is something wrong
in love that is not dual always. God
gave US love that two might become
one. When two who were meant for
each other meet, there is no doubt in
either mind that it is so and it is the
natural longing for the true and perfect
union that causes all the misery which
80 many suffer. A little further on
waits that one for whom the soul is
'yearning, and we pause because one
possessing the charms Of that being yet
uumct has passed athwart our horizon
pause, and lose what we are seeking
for. The one whom you can love best
will always love you. Heaven never
made a soul without q mate, and the be-
ing your tenderness cannot move or your
smiles win, who does not even suspect
your love, is not worth eating your
heart for, you may be sure Of that. And
the solitary old maids and dismal old
bachelors who sit b%emoaning them
selves by the waysido of life, and the
yet more wrstched married folks who,
having no heart to give, took anybody's
hand after having failed to win their
first ideal, have all made grand mis-.
takes. Somewhere is some heart which
will ct theirs rs patty as the twin pieces
Of q dissected map.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading
Democratic paper of Ohio, says Of the
Rosecrans letter: "It is lengthy, and
not always clear. There is something
in it that both parties approve, much
that the Democracy are pledged to, and
q good deal that neither Democrats nor
Republicans would endorse. It will be
moro heartily admired for its frankness
than approved for its wisdom, and its
effect, on the whole, will be to increase,

ton is our candidate"
