MINISTER BANCROFT AND THE PRUssIANs The
Chicago Tribune gives the following interesting
piece of intelligence
Minister Bancroft, whose ability in investiga-
ting facts, and candor in stating them, will at
tach great weight to his conclusions, writes n
statement of the cause of the present war, which
shows that King William exerted himself even
more actively to avoid any completely of Ger
many in the Spanish question than has been
supposed, or than was at all incumbent on him
Bancroft shows that the King had no knowledge
of the candidacy of Leopold until he was pro-
posed by Spain; that, Immediately on its be-
coming known, he earnestly advised the Prince
to decline it that, the Prince refusing, he con-
suited his council as to whether he had the
power peremptorily to forbid it; and being ad-
vised that he had not, and that nothing in the
German Constitution permitted him to restrain
any German citizen from migrating TO and ac-
cepting office under foreign Power he paused
only when he had done all be could do to avoid
the candidacy. Such moderation will still fur
ther commend the Prussian cause to the ap-
proval of all neutral Powers. 1t should be
borne in mind that Prince Leopold is not n sub
ject of the King of Prussia, or of the North Ger
man Confedera;lon-the principally of Hohen-
zollern being in the southern part of Bavaria,
near the Swiss frontier.

THEN AND Now.-Four years ago the State was
under Republican rule and was prosperous.
Every kind of labor was in demand and labor
met with reward. There was noise about
the Chinese or the ruin Of the country. There
were everywhere enterprise and activity. In
San Francisco and other cities, the vast amount
Of work done kept thousands in employ. The
debt Of the State, contracted by the democrats
was being paid, and there seemed reason 10 be-
eve that better times were ahead. Alas the
democracy obtained rule by pandering TO the
preudces of the ignorant, and plcdgng the
working men increased wages with less labor.
What has followed Why stagnation and death
to all enterprise. San Francisco seems like n
quiet old city of Europe Other cities share in
the same paralysis. Trade fluctuates, imports
fall off, labor becomes unremuperative, and
feeling Of dismay or despair is settling down
upon the State. Laborers are ont of employ
farmers have been broken up, and many have
left the State, choosing to do business or live
elsewhere But the democracy, ever ready with
a reason TO offer to the ignorant for their own
vices, declare that they have found out the
cause for all this trouble. 1t is the Chinese !
The same people VINO three years ago made no
trouble, because all had work, now are the
cause of the general stagnation in business.
Nay, verify The democracy are the Chinese
that have done it. Capital is tmd under mis-
rule, whether Democratic or despoic. The
democrats endeavored TO rearrange the economy
of God, and have made sad out Of il. They
will never learn that there is higher ia0 in po-
litical economy, as we'll as morals, than the par
tisan tricks and policy of democratic dema-
gogues. .-Petdluma Argus.

KEEP THE BlRrH-DAy.-An exchange make

KEEP THE BIRTH-DAY.-An exchange makes
the following good suggestions
Keep the birthdays reiigiously they be-
long exclusively to, and are treasured among,
the sweetest memories Of home. Do not let any
thing prevent some token, be it ever so small,
that it be remembered. For one day they are
heroes. The special puddings or cake is made
for them new jacket or trowsers, with pock-
cts, or the first pair of boots are donned and
big brothers and sisters sink into ipsignifcance
beside little Charley, who is six years old to-
day and is going to be a man. Mothers who
have dozen little ones to care for, are apt to
neglect birthdays; they come too octen-some-
times when they are nervous-but if they only
knew how much such souveniers are cherished
by their pet Susy or Harry, years afterwards,
when away from the hearthstone, and they have
none to remind them that they have added one
more year to the perhans weary round of life, OF
to wish them in old-hshoned phrase, 'many
happy returns to their birthday, they would
never permit any cause to step between them
and mothers privilege"

THE PARTY OF AcrIoN.-No political party in
this country can become or remain a power in
the land, except party of action. The party
that succeeds must not only have principles tena-
ciously held and boldly avowed-it must supple
ment its declarations by positive deeds, and
must neither exhaust its capacities nor cease its
activities The movements, the necessities, the
responsibilities, the opportunities, the resources
of n country and an age like this ARE 100 many
and too vast for any party of mere traditions and
theories TO cope with or control. The party
that succeeds must be ready to comprehend and
ready to grapple with the living present. and
its face must be evermore toward the future and
not the past. Vain regrets over what might
have been avail it nothing. lnacton or indie
cision in the present crisis, whatever be its
character will be fatal alike to its present and
its future and in this country especially, poiti
cal parties that are once dead, do not live again
For party that goes TO failure aud defeat
through its own faults and folies, there il no
resurrection. Common sense or sound philoso-
ply would teach us these truths, but experience
has taught them with all needed emphasis. The
Republican party, still dominant in this nation,
stands just now in especial need of being re-
minded of these truths, forgeifulness or neglect
of which, will bring it speedily and surely to
the close Of its record ms party of success.
The one great, positive, Wit Il fact Of our polit-
cal history, for the last quarter of II century, il
the WOrh VI Tue hepuoilChn purity puih' lH"t
out of the record, if it were possible, and there
would be left only barren negations and s,upen-
dous failures. Why has the Republican party
been able to achieve for this nation more sub
stanta and benfcent progress, within the last
decade, than was ever achieved before by, or for
any nation in century? Because it has been
in the best sense, party of action, and will be
known in history and be judged rather by what
it has done, than by what it has said, or what
may have been said of it. Because, to the clear
ness, correctness and strength of its moral con.
victions and its positive afirmations of princi-
pies, it has added the ready and resolue carry
ing out of these convictions and principles in
positive deeds. Let the Republican party lose
either of these correlaiive elements of strength
and it will die, and die not to live again. In
this direction and this only, lies its danger. 1t
is a fatal political bunder for any party, or ad-
ministration, however strong or securely en-
trenched in the possession of present power, to
presume that it can live on do-nothng policy !;
and vacillation or hesitation, when the moment
for action comes, is rs fatal ms total inacton
There is an inevitable political death in either.

CHARACTER or NAPoLEoN.-There is, it. must
be admitted after ALL much to admire in the
character of Louis Napoleon. The very hardi-
hood if not high genius, which raised him
from the position of the wandering, insulted.
poverty stricken and despised adventurer, and
placed him on the loftiest throne of Europe,
without any allies, excies our interest and
claims our encomiums. The policy he has pur.
sued in improving France in all her interior and
exterior relations is one wortlfy Of being an rx-
ample to other rulers, and deserving Of universal
commendation. Under the regime of the
Empire, France has prospered until she
has become the leading power Of Europe. Bu'
the one idea which has dwarfed Napoleon
greatness. and the attempt 10 advance which,
has brought him to his present low estate, is
that of perpetuatng his dynasty in power. Much
as Napoleon has loved France, and much ms he
has done for labelle pays, he has loved himself
and the Bonapartist principle more and If he
is now to be overhrown and an end put 10 the
magnificent creation of his energy, and andacity
we might say. history will record the result ns
due to an ambition more thoroughly character
istc of the Corscan sovereigns than Of any
others in modern times.

ATTACHMENT TO NEWSPAPERS strong at

ATTACHMENT TO NEwsPAPERs.-The strong at
tachment of subscribers to a well-condu cted
newspaper, as given in the following paragraph
from the New York Journal Of Commerce, is fully
confirmed by veteran publishers. Our expert
ence in publishing bears witness to its truthful
ness
Stop my paper" are words of dread to new
beginners in the business but they soon lose
their force after paper has been established for
term of years. So long as n paper pursues n
just, honorable and judcious course meeting
the wants of its customers in all or most respects,
the ties of friendship between the subscribers
and the paper are as hard to break by any out
side third party, as the links which bind old
friends in business or social life. Occasional
defects and errors, if such there be in news
paper are overlooked by those who have become
attached to it through its daily perusal for years
They may sometimes become dissatisfied with it
on account of something which may have slipped
into its columns, and may stop taking it but
the absence of the familiar sheet at their home
or Office for few days, becomes an insupporta-
BILE deprivalon and they hasten to take it again,
and possibly apologize for having stopped it,
This we believe to be common experience in
the history of all established newspapers No
friendship on earth is more constant than that
connected by the journal which makes an hon
est and earnest effort to merit its continued sup
port.

AN EARLY WINTER. The San Jose IadeDendent,
of late Date, speaking Of the chances for a wet
winter, says -" Weather prophets are not the
most reliable in the world but there are persons
who by long and close observation Of the me-
teOrol0gcal conditions prevailing in the Slnte
for The past twenty years, are better prepared TO
pass opinions upon probable results than others.
All old residents in The State, according TO our
exchanges, confidently predict that next winter
will he nm early and very wet one their coucu-
sion being based on the characteristics OF the
present summer as compared with previous sum
mers in their effect upon following winters. A

STORY is told Of an old clergyman who had
the most unboundcd faith IN Watts hymn book.
lie was fond of snyng that he could never open
at any page without finding an appropriate
hymn. A mischievou5 son Of his thought il
would be good joke to test his fathers faith.
So he took nn Old song and pasted it on one Of
the pages of the book, over II hymn, so nicely
that it could not easily he detected. At church,
on Sabbath morning, the minister happened to
open at that very page, and commenced to read
"Old Grimes is dead"
There was sensation in the audience He
looked at the choir, and they looked at him /;
but such was his faith in Watts hymns That he
undertook IL ngnin, commencing with the same
line There was another sensation in the audi
ence. Looking at it again, and then at the CON
gregation, and then at the choir, snid he,
" Brethren, it is here in the regular order in
Watts hymn book, and we will sing it anyhow.

OUR BABY.

Under the violets lying,
Stilled in deep repose,
Limbs Of parian whitcness,
Cheeks Of lily aud rose;
Clustering waves and golden,
Shading forehead fair
All, what sunny lustre
Those rlnglets used to wearl
Lips where roseate tinges,
Flushed with the life.blood's flow
Why did an icy chillness
Steal their beautiful glow -
Eyes where dancing sunbeams
Shone with glorious light,
Soul-lit orbs of azure,
Curtained away from sight
Curtained by silken fringes,
Arching snowy lid,
Under the violets lying
silently, safely hid.
For just as the morn uplifted
Her banners Of purple and gold,
We heard u sweet voice calling
Our lamb to the Shepherds fold.
So, draping the beautiful clay.
Whence the stainless spirit fled,
Under mound of violets.
With white stone NJ its head,
We laid IL away to slumber,
Till glorious morn shall rise,
Chasing away the shadows
Uusealing those beautiful eyes.
