roughly repaired, and fitted up with new Fur
A. MAYS, and will be opened on tho Goth of
JULY, for the accommodation OF visitors. No
pains or expense will be spared in providing
for tho comfort and enjoyment Of guests.
With tho advantage OF a superior Hotel, in
healthy and beautiful country, added to the
curative properties of the water, and the plea

no place of tho kind hereabout where the time
will bo spent more pro6tably or agrccably.
The Rooms are large and niry. and are 30 ar
ranged as to furnish many cOnveniences, espe-
cially to families who do not wish to be sepa
rated.
The Table will be always furnished with tho
best the country and cities can afford, and in
their culinary department, they would say,
that they have secured the services of those
who cannot fail to please, even the moet fas-
tidious.
Complete facilities are likewise afforded for
amusements; in a word, the proprietor flatters
himself that he has lett nothing undone that
might afford pleasure and comfort OF his
guests.
A few good horses and buggies will be found
constantly on hand, for the accommodation
of visitors.

In view of the popularity of the new
race destined to people New England
under the new era inaugurated by the
importation of the Chinese, some altera-
tion and adaptation will be necessary in
childish literature. For instance. that
great favorite of childhood, MARY
Lamb" would not suffer by being rem
dered thusly:
Ki-Chow little pigtail had
Which down his back hung low,
And everywhere that Ki-Chow went
The pigtail it would go.
While sitting in the school one day,
1t reached unto the floor;
When naughty children fond of play,
Fast tied it to the door.
The teacher just theu coming in
To hear his scholars spell,
Yanked poor Ki-Chow up by the roots
With demoniac yell.
And when the children gathered round,
The teacher to him said,
Behold the stale bearers" sad fate
In Ki-Chow there, stone dead.

A PRETTY P1crrnE.-Mark Twain saws

A PRETTY PIcTTRE. Mark Twain says,
in descriptive vein: Sacramento is
fiery summer always. and you can gather
roses, and eat strawberries and ice cream,
and wear white linen clothes, and pant
and perspire ut 8 or 8 o'clock in the
morning, and take the cars, and at noon
put on your furs and your skates, and
go skimming over frozen Downe lake,
=, 600 feet above the valley, among snow
banks Is feet deep, and in the shadow of
grand mountain peaks that lift their
frosty crags O,000 feet above the level
of the sea. There is a transition. Where
will you find another like it in the
Western Hemisphere And have swept
around snow-walled curves of the Pacific
Railroad in the vicinity, 5000 feet above
the sea, and looking down, as the birds
do upon the everlasting summer of the
Sacramento Valley, with its green fields,
its feather foliage, its silver streams, all
slumbering in the mellow haze of it's en-
chanted atmosphere, and oil infinitely
softened md spiritualized by distance
rich, dreamy, exquisite glimpse Of fairy
land, made oil the more charming and
striking that it was caught through a
forbidding gateway of ice and snow and
savage crags and precipices.

Des Moines,

Bayard Taylor went through Des
Moines the other day, and writes the
following of it:
Dcs MONIES is q good illustration
OF the change in the character OF
settlement which has been brought
about BY carrying railroads along
with (and latterly in advance of
population. The intermediate stages
OF growth disappear, and tho civili-
cation and comfort ofthe older States
are planted at once in the virgin
wilderness. The log cabin is o thing
OF the past; the frame building, ready
made, comes on by rail with the
newest and shiniest-I cannot say
the most elegant-farniture; and, as
soon as brick-yard can be estab.
lished, up goes the lowered and Man
sard-roofed "villa" of tho happy
possessor Of fifty lots, hold at New
York prices. Thus an Iowa town
ten years old, is as stately place AS
the New England town which was
founded two hundred years ago. All
the elevated points around the now
settlement are speedily picked out,
and crowned with castles, and you
see lighthouses, trim lawns, and COR
geous flowers in the midst of the rag
ged native forests. The slow tran
slti"n period, which used to last fifty
years, is now completely abolished;
marches westward with
o full front of convenience and luxury.

In tho faco Of tho record taken
from the Congressional Globe, and of
Judge Loughridge's "vindication,"
Us published in last weeks COURIER,
and which must have come under
the editors notice early last week,
the Eddyville Advertiser still charges
that our member of Congress voted
against tho 18th Amendment.
If the Advertiser thinks this is fair
fighting, and honorable treatment of
Republican member of Congress
by paper which pretends to be Re-
publican, and which supported Judge
Loughridge until no run out of Post
Offices, will tho editor of that paper
please give us Its opinion Of the char
acter for truth and intelligence of a
democratic paper which should have
charged, say in 1856, that Judge
Douglas had voted against tho Kan
sas Nebraska Bill?

Senator Conlsling, of New York,
has introduced a bill, having for it's
object 10 correct tho abuses in the
naturalization of foreigners. His
bill provides that foreigners shall he
naturalised exclusively in tho United
States Courts and by Registers in
Bankruptcy. 1t also requires . resi-.
dence Of four years and halt before
a certificate can DO granted, and Of
one year and . half after . declare.
ton Of intention. The certificates
don't take effect until six months
after their date. A public register
is also required to be kept, in which
each application with a sworn state.
ment Of all the facts in the case, shall
be recorded. and that any person
may appear and contest the applica.
ton. The bill also provides special.
~ against voting on fraudulent
certificates. ..m
Whether this bill is just what il
wanted or not, We arc not prepared
to soy, but every good citizen, both
Of native and foreign birth, must
admit that in view Of the gross fraudt
and unparalleled outrages committed
upon the ballot-box through tn,
means of bogus naturalization pa
pcrs,in many portions of the country
some law ought to be enacted tx
remedy the evil if possible. W.
hope that Congress will give thil
matter thorough investigation, ant
that it will lead to beneficial results
