LETTER FROM sonuYLnn CoLEAx-Hn PROPOSES

LETTER FROM SCHUYLER CoLFAx-HE PRoposEs
TO RETIRE FROM PUBLIC LIFE.-The BROOKLYN
N T., Union, of September 7th publishes let
ter from Vice President Colfax, who writes
thank you for your good wishes in my be-
half but | intend, with this term, to close my
public life absolutely | will then have had
eighteen years of continuous service at Wash
ington, mostly on stormy sea, long enough for
any one and my ambition is all grati6ed and
satisfied. General Grant will doubtless be re-
nominated, and think, should be. My articles
and speeches show my faith in him and my res
pect for him; but the people will want some
Eastern or Southern Vice President, and should
have one. | shall leave public life voluntarily
and without regret, and expect to go into act
i've business My friends here all know of this
determination, and | assure you it is no pretense
but reality. This is the last campaign in
which shall participate, and feel happy at
the prospective release from the exactions, cares
misrepresentation and excitement of political
life, as the student who is about to graduate and
go forth from the walls in which ne has been for
years, free from professors and critics. When
you think it all over you will concede that it is
wise determination.

WoMAN's RGHTs.-The Figaro comes to wo-
mans rescue in this bold, gallant and practical
way;
One of the rights claimed for woman at pres
ent is the right to labor in any calling which she
can well fulfill. The opposition which she meets
with from the sterner sex is chiefly founded on
selhshness. A woman must not adopt the pro-
fession of medicine doctoring isn't woman s
work. sneer the men ''must not set type it
isn't womans work" must not do n hundred
things which she has in many instances, proved
she can do well because they are not "woman' S
work" AT the same time how many thousands
of men are there engaged in "womans work, "
washing clothes, dress making, selling ribbons
waiting on table, nursing the sick? Here is
notice clipped from Stockton paper;
" George Vincent will do tucking and hem
ruffles at 1872, El Dorado street."
1t is pretty state of things when men have
the cheek to cry out against women encroaching
on their sphere of labor, and at the same time
George Vincent tucks and hens ruflles. Woman
is steady asserting her natural right to follow
any occupation she chooses, and every true man
will sustain her.

NUMBER 80.
Patriotic Order of Sons of America.

We STAGED few weeks ago that camp of this
Order to be established in Vallejo Several
of our exchanges inquired of us what kind of an
order it is; and the Sacramento Reporter imme-
diately jumped it as "a new tangled branch of
politics in opposition to the Democratic party
We have endeavored to enlighten ourselves in
the matter, and find the order is not of polit-
cal complexion. 1t has an organ published in
Philadelphia, called The Camp News, from which
we learn the p. O. of S. of A. was instituted in
lS47 and Incorporated in 1867, and is thor
oughly organized institution. 1t is divided into
three degrees; lst-Subordiuate Camp, or Red
Degree 2d-Counci, or White Degree 3D.
Commandery, Blue Degree. 1t is optional
with members to embrace all the degrees. The
qualifications for membership read
Candidates for initiation into the order shall
consist of male persons between the ages of six
teen and fifty years being born on the soil or
within the jurisdiction of the United States of
America of good moral character free from
any constitutional disease who believe in the
existence of Supreme Being opposed to un-
ion of Church and State, and believe in the fun
damental teaching of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence.
In the fundamental principles, as published,
we find the following:
The order has been in existence twenty-thr
years. On the breaking out of the late war, the
order was almost universally suspended, and but
two camps maintained organization. This
alone is sufficient to convince all of the patriotic
character of the organization. The order is not
distinctly patriotic, but also benevolent and
beneficial zealously extending the same aid
and succor to their unfortunate brethren as other
organizations do of the present day. 1t is a
purely national order, and distnctively assumes
protective policy inregard to our public school
system, and denounces the use of public moneys
for any sectarian purpose, aud in fact lavors any
and everything that has tendency to purify the
American people. Strictly national, it wars not
with the adopted citizens, and decidedly forbids
the discussion of partizan political questions
within its camp. 1t embraces to-day he tried
and true of all political porsuasons, and has for
its motto, "God, our Country and our Order"
The above will give some idea of the order,
and furnish our readers with all the information
we have on the subject VdLi5o Recorder.

HADN'T JlNED EN- YET.-We heard a good
and Accepted MOsons will be apt to have a good
laugh over, and for that we send it out on its
travels
rather vcrdant young man, whose features
exhibited every symptom of having been slightly
tinged with emerald, lately entered iewelry
store in New York, and gazing earnestly into the
showcase, remarked;
you've got a heap of mighty pretty breast
pins thar mister what mought you AK for
'em ?''
What sort of n pin would you like to look
at 2'' inquired the merchant.
" Well dunn02' said the visitor pointing to
n plain Masonic pin, (the compass and square)
how much is that ycre'
Five dollars only, sir was the reply It's
very fine pin, eighteen carat gold, and"
You haven't got airy one with u little gold
hand-saw laid across it, hey you p Interrupted
the would-be purchaser.
8" believe not, sir" said the merchant
"Wish yer had, it would just suit me exactly.
I'm jest out Of my time aud gwno to set up as
carpenter and jiner, and thought I'd like some
sort Of sign to about me so folks would
have an idee who | was. What do ycre AK for

"Seyen dollars sir, - said the merchant pro-
ducng compass and square surrounding the
letter c.
Seven dollars, eh p said the youth, "In

though, but reckon eyerybodyl understand it.

A BATTLE FIELD INCIDENr.-Among the many
scenes on the battlefield which are now crop
ping up in every newspaper, the following, from
Figaro, is worth reading
I" On the morrow of the battle of Gravelotte,
a decapitated countryman was found by the
side of the body of Zouave officer, 1t was
only by attentvely examining the position of
the corpses that an explanation of this singular
discovery was elected The countryman, it
was found, was marauder, as lantern by his
side corroborated. Not being able to undo the
belt of the officer, which contained a round sum
OF gold, the marauder attempted to cut it., and
in so doing, stuck the knife into the officers
stomach Now, the Zouave, it would appear,
was not yet dead he had only tainted. Sud
denly jumping up, he must have seized the thief
by the hair of the head, and, with one blow of
his sabre, beheaded him."

'stay Home, with Me Tonight, Tom,

Stay home with me tonight, Tom,
Don't put my arms away.
If they one gentle memory wake,
That pleads with you to stay.
Oh, think of all my love to you
Before you quit my sight.
And change your mind for once, Tom
Stay home with me, tonight.
Stay home with me tonight, Tom,
just as you used to do;
l will not say one single word
You would not have me to.
Oh, Tom, my voice can bc as sweet
My touch can he as light,
As when you loved me first. Toni
Stay home with me tonight.
Think, while you hear me speak, Tom,
(And l believe it's true)
'Tis not alone my voice you hear,
But our dead h0hy's. too.
Oh, Tom, your eyes are full of tears,
Your arms are round me tight
You'll stay at home, my darling,
Home, home with me, tonight.

DISTANCES IN AMERICA AND EURoPE.-The ig-
norance displayed by foreigners regarding the
distances between wel-known places in the
United States is absolutely surprising. A lady
was recently asked in England on receiving a
letter from friend in Central America, if she
visited her often, and was quite astonshed ON
learning that it was month S journey from
New York. New Orleans is frequently thought
to be a days ride from New York Living in
Kingdoms of limited areas and accustomed from
strong national prejudices, to consider their spe-
cial land the most important of all, they are
wont, in the absence of an intelligent under
standing of physical geography to measure for
eign countries by their own Even with all the
descriptive detail of information which this war
has brought forth, there is still an astonishing
ignorance OF some of the simplest facts connected
with the United States and its civil war. Eng
lishmen and Europeans have no conception of
the vast extent of the United States-of the inn
mense area that two centuries Of civilization
have transformed from virgin forest and saw
age wilderness into land of plenty, comfort
and refinement
Let us examine some of the distances and areas
OF country in the two continents. England is
about as large the State of Maine. Great
Britain and Ireland are as large as New York
and Pennsylvania. Texas is as large as England
and France together From London across the
Channel, across the whole of France and the
along our Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida,
or about the diameter of the United States
north and south From London through France
Germany, and all of Turkey to Constantnope
and from Berlin through Germany, France and
Spain to Gibraltar, the distance is in each direc-
ton, about that from Maine to Texas. From
Paris straight across the whole of Europe to st.
Petersburg, in Russia is about as far MS from
northern Maine to northwestern Texas. From
Boston to San Francisco is far as from Lon
don to the Volga river, in Russia, only four hun
dred miles this side of Tartary, making dis
tance across the whole of Europe, 500 miles be-
yond st. Petersburg, 1900 miles beyond.Vienna,
and as far as Jerusalem. All of these are made
from airline measurements. Thus it will be
seen that the United States have an area of ter
riory equal to all England, Scotland, Ireland,
France, Spain, Austria, Prussia, Germany, Italy
aud Turkey, combined. When the English lady
asked about visiting Central America, it was
about the same as if she had been asked if she
frequently visited Tartary. 1t is as far from
New Orleans to st. Louis, as from Paris to vi
emma. A journey from New York to New Orleans
would be about the same as from London to

the geological survey of California had pushed
its explorations to the southern portion of the
Sierra Nevada, it was supposed that Mt. Shasta
was the highest peak in the United States, if not
in North America. The altitude of this noun
tain was determined at $4,000 feet. In the
southern Sierra, however, the adventurous ge-
ologist found a region of 300 more square
miles, which has general elevation of 5000
feet and is capped by number of peaks rising
more than 500 feet higher, two of which are
higher than Mt Shasta. The most lofty of these
peaks, Mt. Whitney, was ascended to an eleva-
ton of 10, 73O feet, and is probably 800 or 400
higher. The next highest peak, Mt. TyndelI,
measures l4,50 feet.

THE New SAN FRANCISCO MINT.-The Bulletin
of September 9th thus refers to this institution
The erection of the new San Francisco Mint,
corner of Fifth and Mission streets is progressing
as rapidly as circumstances will permit. The
basement story, in the construction of which
granite alone will be used, is nearly completed,
and the second story--of freestone--is slowly
creeping upward The progress of the work has
been slightly retarded by lack of material for
building purposes, but two vessels loaded
with freestone, are now on their way from New
castle, British Columbia, the difficulty will soon
be obviated. The stone used in the building is
dressed by contract in the yard of Abner Sedgely.
About forty are now employed on the build
ing it is the intention to increase this force,
however, upon the arrival of the material men
toned.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1870-10-01

"RANirE'-Work in the Granite quarry is pro-
crossing favoraby, and San Francisco and Sac
ramento will soon be able to obtain all the gran
lte they may need at such prices as to largely
increase the demand for building purposes. Il
is a standing shame that stone should be i'm
ported from British Columbia aud other foreign
countries for public bulldogs in this State,
tanned near the tide water in this State
This has been mainly caused by the lack of local
energy. Now, however, the order Of manage
ment about here has been changed, and we are
assured that San Francisco can now have all
the granite she may require at such rates, that
very little foreign stone will hereafter pay for
use here .-F0iS0m Teiegraph.

A STRANGE PErITloN.--The Virginia City I'm
terPr'se Of the llth inst says; "a petition from
Maria Susie, French lady, was read at meet
ing of the Board Of Aldermen last evening, in
which the fair petitioner prays to be allowed
to wear male attire. She states that she has
worn masculine habiliments for twenty years,
and wishes to continue to do so. Being about
to open an establishment in this city for the sale
OF California wines, she wishes to be protected
against arrest for dressing in male attire against
which there is city ordinance. With her petit
tion she sent document bearing the signature
of the Clerk of the District Court of Amador
county, California, which was given her as Il
protection against arrest, and which speaks of
her as an industrious and virtuous woman and
one possessed of considerable real estate in that
county. With this document which is certified
to and countersigned by the French Consul at
San Francisco, it appears that she made a trip
to France and other countries in Europe. The
document states that she first adopted male at
tire in 1850, upon her arrival in California that
not finding anything to do in San Francisco,
and not wishing to lead life of prostitution,
she dressed in mems clothes and went to work
in the mines where she made money enough to
start in business"
