No NEED TO BE PooR IN CALIFoREIA.-The Ala
media Encinat of February 9th goes into the fol-
towing calculation In order to demonstrate that
no one need be poor in California. 1t says;
If man cultiyates but an acre of ground in
wheat, it will be at the cost of ten days labor at
most. From this he will obtain 35 bushels of
grain, which will weigh 800 pounds. Now,
we are told by psychologists that man requires
33 ounces of solid food per day in OrderTo sus-
tain vigorous life. His requirements for one
year would then be 752 pounds, something
less than ohe-half the yield of an acre of wheat
consequently he will hold the balance in reserve
for extra fare. 1t will thus be seen that ten days
work will supply man with generous bill OF
fare for an entire year. Or should he wish to
devote more time to the cultivation of the same
amonnt of soil, he may diversity his crops and
cultivate peas, beans and corn, with other gar
den vegetables, melons and fruits, and he will
have abundance of all kinds for ths use of him
self and family, and will be able to lay by at
least $3.50 per year. These are no speculative
statistics. We know dozens of men within a
few miles of Alameda who purchased from one
to five of land within the last FIVE years
and have paid for it, built comfortable houses
and sustained their families honestly 10 nea atness
and plenty all by their individual labor. With
such people there is no cry of hard times. They
have ragged children running round ; no
slattern wives to wound their honest pride
Their course is onward and upward in the race
of intelligent life.

A HUGE AsIMAL.-A Polk county correspond

ent of the Salem (Oregon) Statesman writes
A huge monster was captured last week on
Soap creek, near the south line of Polk county,
by Two farmers by the names of Miller and Trip.
1t has the head feet and ears of lion is about
three feet high, and between seven and eight
feet long; the color of grizzly bear tail like
a wolf-abOut fifteen inches long, arms eighteen
inches in circumference, breast and throat abont
as large as three year old horse. This animal
has been the terror and scourge of that part of
the country for several years, destroying horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep. II has been repeatedly
hunted with the best trained bear dogs in the
country, but always whipped his pursuers and
sometimes killed them. The dogs once fought
it SO cOurageously that it took to Il large willow
tree but the tree broke down under its weight ;
it did not want to 6ght being too full of mutton !;
but when the tree broke down, it sailed in and
made dog hair fly, and dog blood flow, till they
were glad to retreat and let it alone. 1t was
never known to attack persons but once then
IL attacked "A couple of school boys, who fright
ened it away with matches. 1t is said to have
infested that part of the country for twenty
years, growing bolder every year, till within the
last year two it got to coming around the
farm houses at night, and sometimes killing the
watch dog almost on the door and this winter
it killed pet deer on Mr.. Bake's door step.
1t was an impacable enemy to dogs. 1t seemed
to fully understand the character of gun powder,
and always kept out of the way Of any one with
fire arms. 1t was caught by one hind leg 10 a
bear trap, set for it by Mr.. Miller, at drift,
where it was 10 the habit of crossing Soap creek.
When they found it, the leg was bitten off, ex-
eept the ham strings, and this would have been,
if it had not spent too much of its rage on the
trap, and broken off all its teeth before it got
the leg entirely off. ...-t.

measure was heretofore unknown in the his
tory of legislation in this country The San
Francisco E1dminer defends this iniquitous bill
IN long article, from which we make the fol-
lowing specimen extracts
We unhesitatingy admit that the law is par
tlsan in its purposes. Such measure is justi-
hable as partisan prOposition-as a legitimate
conclusion of the warfare of two political parties,
the one of which has gained a Temporary ad-
vantage over the other. As a measure of par
tlsan retaliation, the above should become law
30 far as this city and county are concerned as
matter OF equitable partisan legislation, a
Democratic Legislature should pass the law we
advocate But we have still higher motive
than any we have heretofore alleged 1t is this:
~ ~'" Jorce democratic newspapers into households
'ohere they haze hitherto been denied admitance"
These arguments may influence the Legisla-
ture, but will at the same time open the eyes of
the people to the fact that it is proposed to run
the State administration solely in the interest
OF The Democratic party. Voters, how do you
like the programme? If you are involved in
litigation you have no choice in the publication
OF such notices AS the law may require. The
District Judges will kindly attend to this matter
for you and also establish the price. The rea-
son for it is that it is necessary to build up the
Democratic party and press. The voters are not
fools, neither are they blind, and such struc-
ture, built upon the shifting sands of party ne
cessity, will go down before the inevitable
ground-swell of public indignation.

TEE DANGER OF Too MUCH ExERcIsE,-The
Westminster Gazette in the course of an article
against too much physical exercise, observes
:. Those who have gone through the severest
training become in the end, dull, listless and
stupid, subject to numerous diseases, and in
many instances the ultimate victims of gluttony
and drunkenness. Their unnatural vigor sell
dom lasts more than Eve years. 1t was espec-
tally remarked by the Greeks, that no one who
in boyhood won the prize at the Olympic games
ever distinguished himself afterward. The
three years Immediately preceding seventeen
are years Of great mental. de veopment; and ma
ture cannot at the same time, endure any severe
taxing Of the physical constitution. Prudence,
therefore, especially at this critical period of life,
must ever go hand 10 hand with vigor; for the
evils Of excess outweigh by far tue evils of def
cency.' - - t-- "a 20
