Among the excellent appointments re.
Gently made by Governor Warmoth, that OF
Captain George A. Sheridan, as Tax Col

stands prominent. Captain Sheridan's

EXCITEMENT AT RICEvILLE.-We learn
that the neighboring village of Riceville
is somewhat excited over recent discove-
res indicating a deposit of coal in its inn
mediate vicinity. Preparations are max
ing for thorough test, and should the
result prove favorable, we shall no doubt
soon have lively times in that direction.
We were before advised that galena and
silver existed in considerable quantities in
the neighborhood of Riceville, with mex
haustible beds of marble not far Off; but
this last discovery-of coal-rather aston
ished us.-AthenS Post.

SHASTA COURIER.
From the Sacramento Bee.
Subject Worth Considering

Editors Bee: If the Republicans of this
State expect to regain their their lost pow
er, they will have to effect an entire change
ip the course now beiLg pursued.
The party is now divided up into small
cliques, and seem to forget that there is
any necessity for mutual action.
If those persons who, from the positions
they occupy, or from acknowledged ability
are recognized in the party as leaders, dc
not bring about this change. new men will
have to be brought forward who can unite
the party and lead it to a sure and certain
victory. But perhaps the best course viii
be to give the OLD leaders one more trial
calling their attention. to the important
position in which they are placed, and al
the same time point out some of their own
short comings.
One may be little overbearing and
impractical, another too hasty, when the
greatest prudence and for bearance are
necessary, and third may have been un-
fortunate in having imprudent friends
who assume To themselves authority to
speak for their chief, who would not for a
moment approve of the sentiments they
enunciate. The fruit of these shortcom.
ings and unfortunate misunderstanding
has been to force upon the party in this
State lot OF officials, who are not only
strangers among us, but have no interest
or sympathy with our party here, but are
serving the interest of their friends in
other States, to whom they are indebted
for political preferment.
Now let the rank and file of the party
demand change, require some concession
from each, unite upon members of our
own party, who are we'll known among us,
party men, men who have an interest in
the people of our State, and if there are
different interests to serve in the party,
recognize each, and allow each share in
its benefits
By doing this few months would bring
about the desired change and we would be
enabled to 90 into the next campaign a
united and re-organized party.

4 sympathetic Affair at Mound
city. Kansas.

The Leavenworth Commercial, of Jan.
uary Sd, has the following:
A gentleman who came up the road from
Fort Scott, yesterday, tells us a pleasant
story OF men and things as they exist at
Mound City, which i, a station on the Gulf
road. We give prominence to the affair,
not because we were an eye witness of what
We relate, or because we feel peculiar
interest in it, but because in this age of
affinities," we like to show how actively
the thing works. The story may or may
not be colored. On that point it wouldbe
rash to express an opinion. The duty of
faithful reporter is to give such partic-
ulars as may have come to his observation
at the latest moment. This We do, and
narrate the following:
My DEAR" said married man, step
ping up affectionately to his wife the other
morning, al have found much solace late
ly in the doctrine of affinity and |
think, without obtruding on your privacy,
that | have observed similar peculiarity
in your own sensitive soul. Let us obey
our instincts" Love-" murmured the
lady, "you look into Ely heart as into
another" That night the gentleman came
home and found his pillow occupied by the
head of neighbor. Like good husband
he stepped away softly for fear of disturb,
ing his wife, and sought the wife of the
man who was occupying his bed and in
whom he thought it probable he might also
find another affinity" On finding her
however, he was surprised to discover that
he had been forestalled and that her fond
ness for affinities" had been appcased
otherwise. He now began to think that
the doctrine was spreading, quite rapidly
and that he was left out in the cold Not
wishing to run all around the town, and
despairing of finding lady who had not
/" affinity" all ready to her hand, he betook
himself to hay stack where he slept all
night, and got back to find his wife ready
with hot breakfast, her hair all nicely
smoothed down and looking IS fresh as a
peach. That is the way the "afhnity'
dodge works

Sultan has already purchased some 100000

ing which usually attaches to any theme.
in which the supernatural plays a part.
When the party broke up, one of the young
men of the neighborhood conceived the
idea of frightening two of the ladies, who
had some distance to 60 along lonely road
with their brother Wrapping himself in
a sheet from head to foot, he took short
path, and emerged upon the trio from a
copse of bushes just as they came up. As
the figure in white became visible, moving
slowly toward them, the trio set up the
most horrible shrieks, and fed down the
path In the utmost terror. One of the
ladies swooned and fell to the ground,
while the other reached the house with
reason unseated, raving maniac.-Nash-
