A CAR RD.

SUccEss.-"The ladies have right to do
just as they please so long as it pleases them
to do right" So thought few of them,
at least when they opened that Ice Cream
Saloon in Sonora, on the 4th inst, for the
benefit of tie undersigned, and right well
were they sustained by public patronage on
that occasion. An Itinerant's life is not all
sacrifice though he gives up all prospect
of permanent home, and devotes his life and
energies to the good of others. Though he
has seasons of difficulty and embarrassment,
he has, also, times of refreshing bright spots
in life's pathway to cheer him on in his Ia
Dor of love. The result of the efforts of q
few friends in Sonora on the 4th inst. was
one of those bright spots, and merits CRATE
full acknowledgement which my pen can but
poorly express. That it was success was
evident to me when 500 were placed in my
hands as the net proceeds. AS an expression
of personal regard, and, also, of respect for
the cause advocate, it shall ever be held in
grateful remembrance.

THE SARsAPARILLA DlGGERs OF YucArAN.-
The singular set of people are descended
from the ancient Aztecs of Southern Mexico,
and still retain some of the peculiarities which
Stephens and Prescott gave of their ances-
tors. DR.. }. G. Aver & Co. employ a small
army of them in digging Sarsaparilla root.
Provided with narrow spades, q coil of rope,
and bag of water, they are ready for the
forest where the wild banana furnishes them
with food, and thick-lsaved trees their only
shelter. Few Of those who find themselves
rejuvenated by this product, know how much
they are indebted to .bs toll of these humble
laborers, who dig health for thousands of
Doctor Ayers patrons, while they sometimes
lose their own. Boston Commercial.

BRAINS NOT EXCLUSIVE PRoPERrY.-Brains
do not belong exclusively to lawyers, doctors,
preachers, teachers, writers, and men of bu.
siness. They ere also the property of work
ing men. They may be used and exercised
as much in the building of hen coop, the
telling of q tree, the construction of road
as in the writing of long-winded article,
full of long-winded words whose meaning is
as obscure to the writer as to the readers.
There's great deal of vague talk about Ger.
tain classes of men whose business it is sup
posed to be, to own and use more brains than
men who work with their hands. A noun.
taineer may use more brain in navigating
Alright among the de6les, the canons, the val
leys and the windings and turnings of oul
Upper Sierras than profoundly stupid law

form and substance was written out for him
ages ago by other profoundly stupid lawyers
1t is the birth-right of laboring men te
make these brains of yours do at least hall
the work Of your hands. 1t is your collect
i've stupidity which keeps you so hard al

this in a country where we may raise all tha,

FROM SALMON RlvzR.-A friend sends US

of Tuolumne halls from Slate Creek, Salmon

"The season for miners is one month later
than usual owing to the late SHOWS. This is
all the better, as it gives them longer sup

see but little encouragement for miners in
this section, Notwithstanding our papers re-
port plenty of work for oil which is true yet,
only few are making anything. Steadman,

LIMBs.-Olive Logan is anti-leg, anti.
blonde-anti-ancle. We are Pro-leg, pro.
blonde, pro-ancle. We deem it a wasteful
stinginess of Natures gifts to possess shape
ly limb and never allow it to be seen. 1t is
all the capital stock that some women have
in trade and it is hard on them if they be
not allowed to use it. The lovefor symmetry
and fine bodily proportion is distinct thing
from sensualty. II the exposure of limbs is
wrong, then all paintings carvings and
statues so exposing them are wrong. In the
Garden of Eden days, Adam and Eve looked
and were not ashamed. That was purity.
AT the Fall, propriety stepped in aud advised
concealment. That was not purity. Shall
we not then, even for morality's sake favor
the first and oldest fashion?

A wcrd here bearing on the Carrie Dia
mond case. Is the tern seduction" always
applicable to a sane and intelligent woman
at 25 or 80 years of age? Is there never but
one party implicated in seduction and is tina,
party always the man? Is not the consent
of t,co generally necessary? May not the
man be as much tempted as the woman
These queries are intended in no manner OF
degree to defend Neuval. Nor co they apply
to young inexperienced girl, deceiyed by a
man double her age. But in parties of the
same age, male and female, no woman is ap,
to be seduced against her will and few are
the men who will persevere without some
manner Of encouragement.
