The Salmon Ascending the Columbia
 River.

Over jagged stones thrown on each other, in iutting wall twenty feet wide, pours the great food of the Columbia, with roar and fury that drowns all other sound We stood on separate points and tried to speak to each other in inexplicable dumb show, and then we forgot to talk, and only looked Up the stream. through the fierce and sucking rap ids, white against the black stones that here and there tear the water, flash the swift, strong, glittering salmon. They come few together, then large multitude, then the whole river from side to side is dark with their innumerable host. The indomitable creatures mean to go up the river to spawn, and they mind that precipice and torrent no more than if it were summer pool within its little margent.
 They swim swift and stately to the very foot, where you lose them in the boiling, white whirlpool. Something flashes in the air, elastic, strong, light. The daring, deter mined, wonderful thing has made that leap, defed rock and torrent, and found its home in the smooth run beyond. Or, there is the flash and then struggle, and the poor, bruis- ed creature, wounded to death against the sharp edged stones, drops back into the stream, and floats down bloody track, dying alter while. So they come, and come, and come, such myrads of them, and leap, and win or lose, for all the hours of the day, and for half the days of the years.--Hrs. c. [. Calhoun.

THE ARIZONA MAiLs.-Two months since, one of our citizens went to Prescott, Arizona. The Daily Netos has been regularly mailed to his address since that time. Yesterday he returned and informs us that not more than one paper out of three was ever received. Sometimes four or five numbers would arrive at one time. The MINER finds the same diff ficulty in getting the Nens. We have before alluded to the Irregularities attending mail arrangements in general. This is ease where premedtated scoundrelsm is an as sured fact. We know that the papers are regularly deposited in the Los Angeles office. By courtesy of Postmaster Clarke, we have the evidence of our own eyes that they are as regularly placed in the Prescott bag. At some one or more of the points between this city and Prescott, some sneaking scoundrel, who by the grace of Radicalism, holds posi- tson in the postal department, steals the Nstcs from the mail bag. The Postmaster or his assistant, who would be guilty of such an act, is sneak-thief by nature and would be prevented from extending his operations out side his office only by constitutional coward ice. If we can find out the real offender he will find himself in q warm position.-Los Angeles Daily Ners.

TIE FRENCH ELECTION Paris Jour- nal publishes the Emperor's address to Frenc- men, declaring that the Constitution of 1852, which was drawn up by virtue of the powers given him, and ratified by eight millions of voters, has procured for France eighteen years of calm and prosperity, which have not been without glory. It secured order, and left the way open to more improvements. The Elm peror says; "l myself believe to-day that anything done without your consent is ille- gal. The Constitution of imperial and dem ocratic France may be reduced to a small number of fundamental provisions, which cannot be reduced without your consent ; your legislation will have the advantage of rendering definite the progress already made, and placing beyond the influences of political fluctuations the principles of government By beginning with the ballot, you will exor- else the menaces of revolution, and place order and liberty on solid basis, and will render easier in future the transmission of the crown to my sor. As for myself, faithful to my origin, I shall continue to be penetrated by your thought, fortified by your will. Coniiding in Providence, shali work with out cessation for the prosperity and grandeur of France.n

IMPORTANT TO MiNERs.-In the District Court of Austin, Nevada, few days ago, the case of the New York and Austin Silver Mining Company vs. Kemp, ct. al, the Court made the following decision, which may be of importance to miners It therein appeared that plaintiffs held United States patent for ledge and two hundred feet of surface ground. Defendant entered upon surface ground and made location thereon, ejecting the plaintiffs therefrom, and commenced sink ing shaft-the defendants claiming that they had right to make mining location on surface ground as given in the United States patent. The Court ruled that defend ants had no such right; that the patent gave the plaintiff all the surface ground as against all parties, whatsoever, who, without con meeting themselves with the United States, sought to enter the same to prospect, work or locate. So says the Receille.

About the Arabs.

It was the opinion of Baron Learry, the celebrated French military surgeon, that Adam and Eve were Arabs. He pronounced the Arab skull the most perfect type oi the human head, and affirmed the intellectual traits of these children of the desert to be equal to their finely developed physical or gnnization. The external senses arc eXquls- itely acute and remarkably perfect; their sight is extensive in it's range; they near at very great distances, and they are capable oi distinguishing the most subtle odors' But the Baron does not decide whether the per fNct organization of the Arab arises from the | desert climate, or from the early cultivation | of the higher faculties. "Sharp features, | lean, active figures, keen, animated and rest less eyes,n says the great ethnologist, pr Pritchard, "mark the Arab, men not unlike Mohammed are often met with among the Sheiks. Often you see Bedouins with long, thin, almost ileshless faces, and large, finely formed features, which, half covered by the folds of their white head dresses, look some
 what sad and ghastly." "The Bedonn's
 dark orbs,n says Dr. Kinglakc, "roll slowly
 and solemnly over the white of his deep-set
 eyes. His countenance shows painful thought
 and long suiering-the suff ring of one talier
 from a high estate. His gait is strangely
 majestic, and he marches along with his sin
 gle blanket as though he were wearing the
 purple His common talk is a series of perc
 ing screams, and cries more painful to tho
 ear than the most excruciating fine music
 that ever endured.n
 The true Bedouin has an aquiline nose, [
 receding mouth and chin, deep set, bright
 dark eyes, large and ardent. He is agile ant
 spare, with little muscle, but active and viz
 orous; his limbs are small, his hands some times of almost feminine delicacy. The Be douin's hair is almost always of deep black and very bushy; the expression of theil
 physiognomy is stern and severe. The Arabs
 high mp the Nile, beyond Mongola, are black
 as negroes, while in the mountains, on tho west of Yemen Bruce reports them as oiter , having red hair and blue eyes. Niebuhr de scrbes the mountain women as very pretty but Eothen found the nomad maidens plain
 haggard and clumsy, without religion, anc addicted to tobacco. Hospitable the Arab: are, and when they have them, they vii
 share with all who come beneath their tent roof their camel's milk, curds and bread
