expected that the read will be completed

To Whom it may Concern.

Hereafter the cost for publishing appli-
cations for administration of Estates must
be paid in advance, because persons of:
ten apply to be appointed administrators
and fail to qualify, and the Estate will
not pay the cost, Notices for homologa-
ton of tableaux will be published on the
same terms.
Cost for publishing judicial sales mus
also be paid in advance. or the party or
parties at whose instance they are inserted,
must furnish satisfactory security that the
printers fee will be paid Immediately af-
ter the sale. Our charges are cheaper, we
believe, than those of any other paper in
the State. A .teU pay after a moderate de-
lay, some in one, two, three, four or five
years, and some never. We scarcely col
lect enough to pay current expenses.
This change will be no inconvenience to
those who intend to pay promptly, and our
heavy expenses will not permit us to work
on credit forever. ,..

conversation the other day, Admiral

The thing for the Monarch to do under
such circumstances would be to use her

A remarkable performance Of deer
10 reported by the Sacramento Union OF
Monday, As follows:
At Agricultural Park last Friday
evening race took place between two
hounds and . young deer which Robert
Allen has there. The starting place
was the northern end of the track, and
from there half way up the race was
very close, the dogs finally closing
upon the deer and nipping him little.
This bad the effect to increase his speed
greatly. and be bounded across from
the east side of the course to the grand
stand at a rapid rate, gaining about
thirty feet on the dogs in doing so,
The picket fence in front Of the grand
stand be took very pret,ily, but came
to grief Immediately afterward, in con-
sequence of a collision with 5 rope
stretched across the track, which tum-
bled him head over heels. Gathering
himself up before the hounds reached
him, however, he made for Aliens resi-
dence, where he had frequently been
pet,ed by the family. The doors and
windows being closed, he made a
spring a. the window and passed through
a pane Of glass eleven inches by twenty
without breaking the sash, and landed
on the dining room table-a specimen
of venison self served. The feat is one
which would appear almost incredible
to any one acquainted with the size of
the deer and the aperture through
which he passed.

Nor A HEArBES DOCUMENT. - The
New York Journal of Commerce, in re-
ply to a correspondent, who, speaking
of the Federal Constitution, complains
that Sin that document there is not an
allusion from first to last of God or
Christ" says:
There is distinct recognition of our
great Redeemer in the words at the
close: "DOne in convention by the
unanimous consent of the States present,
the seventeenth day of September, in
the year of our Lord one thousand seven
hundred and eighty seven" Further
than this it was not the purpose of our
fathers to 60 but this is sufficient to
indicate the Constitution from the
charge so often made, that it contains
nothing to distinguish it from heather

MASONRY VS.. PAPACY.

The Pope in his efforts to obtain ar
acknowledgement of his temporal SUI
premacy as sovereign of sovereigns and
spiritual infsllibility as the Head center
ofaN Christendom has exhibited blind
ness to existing influences and powers
only equalIed in point of senselessness
by the conduct of his late accidency,
Andrew Johnson and having been in
duced BY his Jesui<tical advisers to op-
pose himself aud his dogmas to France,
Austria, Prussia and SPAN, thereby
virtually repudiating the only temporal
powers toward which be could look for
support, he ventures still further and
denounces Fenianism and excommuni-
Gates Free Masonry. This last mose
bids fair to arouse a combined move

counter action that could be invoked,

find an indication of Masonic unity as

Master Simmonds, in the course of his speech,
