EXCURSION OF THE CALIFORNIA PIONEERS. -
The men who developed California are about
to come to the Atlantic coast by way of the
Pacific Railroad. These gallant advsnturers
went mostly from the Eastern States to the
Pacific coast in the early days, and they are
now coming to make temporary visit to their
old homesteads on the Atlantic over the grand
land highway across the Continent. The idea
originated with the Sacramento Association of
California Pioneers. 1t is decided that the
party shall leave Sacramento on Wednesday,
the 18th of this month. The price fixed for the
trip is one hundred and fifty dollars, with the pr-
vilege of stopping over for a day or two at such
leading cities as Chicago, Pittsburg and Phila-
delphia, or such places as the majority of the
excursionists may determine. As, according
to the terms, the whole party must start from
California together, they will necessarily ar
rive in New York in batch, and they will
no doubt be received here with pleasant
share of welcome as well as interest.

LIFE AND EpIsTLEs OF ST. PAUL,
by Conybeare & H"wson. Messrs.
Bliss & Co. have in press, and are about
to issue, Peoples Edition of this inva-
liable work, which has been heretofore
with all its fascinating narrative, its va
liable stores of learning, and elegant
illustration, locked up in two costly
volumes beyond the reach of the mass
of readers. The very low price at which
we offer it will, we trust, give it a wide
circulation, and not only introduce it
into our Bible classes, bnt also into our
Sabbath schools and private families. -
The able scholar and eminent divine,
Dr. McCosb, of Princeton College, is to
write the introductory chapter. 1t comes
highly recommended by clereymen of
all denominations Rev. Mr.. Roberts
Of this city writes ''It is work be-
yond all praise. = wish a
copy of this book could be put into the
hands of every man and woman capa-
BILE of approaching great truths, thrill
ing historical events and noted charac-
tiers, as depicted in the most attractive
and mastery manner"
Rev. Mr.. Kempshall writes : The
publishing of peoples edition, &C.,
will be of great service to all readers of
the New Testament, but especially to
Bible class and Sabbath school teach
ers, who will find its scholarly pages a
treasury of information which cannot
be found in any book of analogous de-
sign"
Rev DR.. Miller writes, d" This work
really needs no commentator. The
most cursory glance at its structure,
the livid painting of the living charac-
ter of the patriot, Apostle and Chris
tan, st. Paul, the vivid and beautiful
delineation of the circumstances of a
life at once magical and energetic, to-
gether with the grand and elegant in
terpetation of the acts of the Apostles,
cannot fail to impress ministers, Sun
day school teachers, and the students
in our seminaries, that they cannot af-
ford to dispense with this instructive
volume. l shall be glad to find it trea-
sured by every family in my parish"
The work is sold by subscription,
and Mr.. Adm Parmalee, the agent, is
now canyassing this city.

Paradoxes. s.
Something for the Ingenious to StraisI ten
out.

The word 'oblige" is sucject to par
adoxical construction. When you
oblige man to do any thing he does
not want to do, you may disoblige him
at the same time. 1t has been remarked
that there is great difference between
a church where the Gospel is dispensed,
and one where it is dispensed with We
have often heard the story of how the
captain of canal boat cried, Look out!'
to his passengers, when they were 60
ing under a bridge, and how French
man looked accordingly and received
bump on the head; but it has never
been decided tha. the Frenchman took
any incorrect or any unusual significa-
ton from the words. 1t has never been
decided wheather a house burns up or
down. The question, whether a man
that falls from a boat and is rescued
from drowning. is pulled out or in, de-
pends mainly whether you are speak,
ing primarily Of the water or the boat
Some one has noticed that people say
they she'll peas when they unshell them'
that they husk corn when they unh usk
it; that they scale fish when they un-
scale them; that their gardens want
wedding when they are weedy enough
already. These paradoxies in words are
the foundation of the puzzles in logic
which are SO common. For instance,
the trite sy.logism to the effect that no
cat has two tails, and because a cat has
one more tail than no cat, therefore a
cathas three tails, the trouble arises
from the parodoxical use of the phrase
mo cat" While it is quite true in the
one case that no cat has two tails, it is
not true IN the sense in which it is en-
ployed in the syllogism, because mo
cat, being nonentity, has no tail Sin
gularly, it is argued that Oxford must,
from all antiquity, been either some
where OR nowhere. Where was it at the
time of Tarquinnius Priscus? Aristotle

According to the London Lancet"
plan has been generally adopted in
France Of placing babies in bran. An
ordinary cradle is filled with common
bran, hair pillar Is put in, and then
the bran is moved aside with the hands,
the child's body. The infant, divested
of every thing below the waist. and hav-
ing little bodice or cape above that,
is then placed in the bran, and its body
completely covered with it, exactly as
may be seen at the seaside at the pres
ent time, where children play at bury
ing one another in the sand A light
coverlet or counterpane is finally placed
above all, and the baby is in bed for the
night. The two great advantages con-
nected with bran are said to be its PAL
ticular cleanliness, and the very pleas
ant and equabie temperature, which il
maintains about the infants body.
There seems to be no good reason, say 5
an English paper, why the privilege OF
sleeping in bran, ifit possesses these
advantages, should be confined to the
small and noiiser portion of humanity.
Bran might be used instead of beddin =
in casual wards, night refugees, comm on
lodging houses, and indeed would be
far preferable to the dirty uncomforta-
BILE beds to be in ful. perfection at sea-
side lodgings. Perhaps the day is not ia,
when the soiourner at the seaside will
take with his carpet bag, a folding box
and bag of bran, and bid defiance to
dirt. heas and infection

The Waste Of Rum D rinking.

Mr.. Potter, the editor of the "Bee-
hive" in a speech at the Labor Congress
lately held in England, shows how the
country was depleted by the beer and
gin and rum drinking of the people The
rum sellers and driakers have been ridi-
culing him and his figures, and using
the weapons which men are not slow TO
WELD in defence of bad habits, and vic
ious ways of money getting. Any one
who is familiar with England knows
that both city and country swarm with
gin palaces and alehouses, which are
full of drunken men every night, and
which, on Saturdays, are centres of ruin
and abomination. The same general
tendency OF drinking is noticeable here,
but it has not reached such height as
in Great Britain. Mr. Potter says:
"Every year upward of f228, 600. 900
are spent by the British nation on intoxi-
eating drink Spent we say-how
much of it is wasted? And this iE the
land of established churches! This cal
culation is patent to the world; any man
can verify the figures. It consists of
money spent in driAk; OF waste Of land,
capital and labor, in producing drink;
loss of labor and time by destruction
and theft, by pauperism. destitution,
sickness, insanity, premature death, po>
lice, prosecutions, court of justice, sup

ture would pay off the national debt in
less than five years, and lessen taxation
