A TAIL OF THE LoRsT COZ.
CHAPTER I.

The sound of bugle was heard in the wood
and soon the advancing troop filed into view.
Their banners loated proudly in the breeze, and
their gray uniforms gave them truly martial
appearance. AS they passed the lane leading to
the Colonel's mansion, one of the privates left
the ranks and walked hastily to the house
A maiden of sixteen sat by the window. She
was braiding a little hat and occasionally took
dip into the saucer of snuff which sat on the
the easement. She was the Colonels only
daughter. a deep blush mautled her brow when
she recognized the advancing soldier and laying
down her work she advanced to meet him. They
embraced.
oh, must you leave me, Jeems ~ she said
at last, in a sivery tone,
"Indeed, must, Betsey. The Yanks have
trod on Southern sile and this good sword shall
help drive them back - Jeems drew it from the
scabbard as he spoke and slashed it behind him.
He little dreamed the consequences of that
blow.
Betsey had yaller dorg. He saw Jeems
standing by his mistress and ran up to snap at
his heels. The trenchant blow severed his tail
as though it were but willow withc, and he
ran bowling away.
The maiden wopt.
"W Why these tears Bets? Yer wont go back
on a feller about n dorg ~
She found words at last " No, Jeoms, wept
to think that my dorg's tail is symboical of my
love for you-it has no end"
Jeems stood as if turned to stone. lie paused
a moment irresolue, then snatchng kiss from
her pale lips he rushed from the house.

A Tribune special says diplomatic circles are
excited just now by n curious rumor relating to
reported efforts of the Prussan Government to
secure foothod in the West Indies. 1t is stated
the Prussian agent visited President Baez in
San Domingo, some months ago, and informally
offered to take reversion of our annexation
scheme to purchase the territory of San Domin-
go and transfer all to German control. Such
news reached here from Havana at the time, but
was generally discredited Now, however, Bis
marck has made definite propositions to the
the Government that Prussia shall be allowed to
negotiate for coaling and naval station either
in San Domingo or some other West India ISL
ands, without opposition from the United States
this Government to receive the support Of
North Germany in obtaining a coaling station in
the Mediterranean.

ANOTHER PRorosGrGoN.-The Red Bluff Inde-
Pendent of November l7th, says
" AS lotteries seem to be all the rage now-a-
days, we would suggest to the Trustees of the
Red Bluff School District, as there will probably
be deficiency Of three or four thousand dollars
in the fund raised for building the new school
house in this district, that they enter into some
such scheme to raise the amount. For instance,
let there be twenty thousand tickets, at one dol
lar n ticket let $4,000 be returned to the
holders in prizes. This would leave SO 900 ;
four thousand Of which will be sufficient to pay
the expenses, the other -four thousand could be
applied to the purpose above mentioned. We
have no doubt but that the tickets could easily
be disposed Of, as it would be in a good cause.
What say you, gentlemen p

A NEEDLESS FUss.-The New York Times
pokes little fun at our people !or making such
a fuss over the recent railroad robbery, says
that paper "An outrage has been committed
on the Pacific Railroad which seems to have
caused some excitement in San Francisco Five
men stopped train and robbed it Of $43, 900.
We should scarcely mention IL here. Wo have
seen smaller party than five steal an entire
railroad, and work it for their own exclusive
profit for years together, with Judges to help
them, and the public calmly looking on. The
people Of San Francisco are getting to be so
moral that it does not take much to surprise
them. We should like to make them a present

GEORGE FRANcIs.--We have received from
George Francis Train numerous papers published
at Marseilles, some Of as late date as November
lst, all showing that he was making speeches
there nightly, and issuing proclamntions daily
to the French people, urging them to fight to
the last. lie promised them the assistance of
ten million Of his American supporters, and of
nance Of himself when he shall be elected Presi-
dent Of the United States His addresses seemed
to be deighting the people, for he had great
crowds nightly to listen to him and bis re-
marks are equal in FIRE and patriotism to any
thing that any Frenchman has put forth. The
report has come that Train is in prison in France,
but that may not be true. At any rate he had
better keep out Of the way Of the Prn0sians, or
he will get into prison Sacramento Bee.

TnE RGuTs OF PARENrs.-Dr. Lucky, of the
State Normal School, lectured recently to the
pupils of that institution, and in the course of
his remarks said
1" 1t was common belief among teachers that
parents had few rights which the former were
bound to respect in governing children. The
belief, manitestly erroneous, had obtained foot
hold in our public school system, and unless
checked, would be detrimental to the best inter
ests of that institution. Parents had rights and
should enforce them. 1t would have n tendency
to increase the friendly relations between par
ents and good teachers, and at the same time
weed out those whose taste and abilities gave
them no claims to important positions held.
Parents had right to know the plans of teach
ers, and to visit the school. The parent had II
right to know the progress and mental capacity
or mental peculi0rites Of his child, and to pro-
test against any species Of 'cramming." The
parents had n right to voice in selecting the
books which children read--a right of ncstima-
bic value. The parent had right to expect II
high intellectual development of his child, with
out injury to the physical or moral character
and the right to oppose the too rapid promotion
Of his little one The parent had right to OK
pect that the teacher of his child should be of
demand it. The parent had the right to oppose
any attempt to teach his children any religious
doctrine in n school, but he had no right to de-
mand that any particular doctrine be taught.
The parent was entitled to respect and attention
at the teachers hands, and all desired inlorma-
tion concerning his child.h

ANOTHER EAErnQUAKE TnEoRY.-At a regular
meeting of the California Academy of Sciences,
in San Francisco, the neyer-ending earthquake
question came up. From report Of tho pro-
ceedings, we take the following
Judge Hastings read a paper on the subject
of earthquakes, lie contendcd that from obser-
vations deduced from the circumstances attend
ing the earthquakes, of which we have accounts,
they were caused principally by subterraneous
caverns, which we hear and feel in walking over
them, and visit in the known caves of the world
The shocks of earthquake caused by the cav
ing in of these cavems. In the course of time
these caverns fill up and the surrounding coun-
try is relieved Of the earthquakes. In support
of his theory, Judge Hastings referred to the
present condition Of England which be stated
was once an earthquake country, and the cav
erns having now become filled up, the place is at
rest. Our continent is one of comparatively new
formation, and these caverns exist all over it,
and until they fall in and are closed up, we shall
have earthquakes"
