SINGLE WOMEN.-Women have begun
to make for themselves the discovery that
their whole minds must be given to profess
slonal or business life, if they are to sue
ceed In 1t. and that to many of them mar
rage must become condition of life whose
contingency is very remote indeed. To
such woman the professional education
acts as a bar to marriage for marriage is
10 men an accident, but to woman it is the
Whoie manner of existence A married
woman first claims must be her house and
her family affairs; and for the majority
OF women these are enough. A woman
whose business or profession takes u3Nher
mind has neither the time or inclination
Tor attending to the cares of the house, and
she needs housekeeper as much as a man
does. House affairs are an extra burden
to woman whose mind is given to her
business. A special professional training,
then. we are inclined to believe, lessons
the chances of woman's being married,
lnasmuch asst occupies her mind with other
matters. Of course a woman who can
maintain herself has always chance of be-
ing married, if she wishes it, to one of that
not inconsiderable class of men who can
endure to be kept in idleness by the exer-
tlons Of their wives. But if a woman has
her own well-being at heart, she will not
marry such one, although such marriages
are not unfrequent.

Salt for the Throat.
The Rutland Herald says:

The Rutland Herald says:
In these days. when diseases of the
threat are so universally prevalent, and in
so many cases fatal we feel it our duty to
say word in behalf of simple nd what
has been with US most effectual, if not Il
positive cure of sore throat.
For many years past, indeed we may
say the whole of life of more than
forty years. we have been subject to sore
throat aud mare particularly to Il dry hack
ing cough, which is not only distressing
to ourselves but to our friends, and those
with whom we come in business contact.
Last fall We we're induced to try what
rtue there was in common salt. We
commenced by using it three times day,
morning, noon and night. We dissolved
a large tablespoonful of pure table salt in
sbout half small tumbler full of ctld Wa
ter. With this we garsled the throat
thoroughly just before meal time. The re
suit has been. that during the entire W n
ter we were not only free from coughs and
colds tC which so far as our memory extends.
we have always been subject. but the dry.
hacking cough has entirely disappeared.
We attribute these satisfactory r.sults
solely to the use of the salt gargle, and
= ost cordially recommend trial of it to
those who are subject TO diseases of the
throat
Many persons who have never tried the
salt gargle, have the impression that it is
unpleasant Such is not the case. Onthe
contrary it is pleasant, md aftera few days

THE RIGHT PLATFoRM-Ge N.
p Banks has accepted the Labor Re-
form nomination for Congress in the Sixth
District of Massachusetts, In his letter he
says that he believes that associations of
working men or women are entitled to the
same chartered rights or privileges and the
same legislative aid that is accorded by the
state or nation to associated capital and
that he ''is not in favor of the importation
by capitalists of laborers from China or
elsewhere for the purpose of degrading or
cheapening American labor. The pro-
Chinese views OF Charles Sumner don't
seem to meet the approval of the Republi-
can parry in Radical Massachusetts. One
by one her leading statesmen are coming
out boldly and plainly in opposition to
c, ollie importation. And the more decid-
ed the stand they take on this question,
the stronger seems to be the approval of
their constituents. With such leaders as
Banks, 1.-THE Iron Man," Benz F. Butler,
aud Henry Wilson, the Massachusetts del
egatlon in the next Congress will be a

position to the Asiatic pestilence that afflicts

THE RECORD.-A correspondent of the
Chico Enterprise thus hits the last Legis-
lature a"swipe:"
The Democracy always preach honesty
before election, but when they get into
power their motto is "to the victors belong
the spoils." Although many of their
"thieving bills" were vetoed by the Gov
ernor, yet the last Legislature enacted laws
that are disgrace to our statute books
and burden to those who pay the taxes.
New offices were created, official salaries
were raised, commissioners were appointed
for every imaginable object, and money
squandered, until their own party organs
condemn their acts, and now beg of the
Governor not to call them together again,
even to re-district the State, lest their rap
acity should get the better of policy, and
eHdanger the success of their organization
at the next election The people have
lived under Democratic rule in this State
for four years, and are satisfied with an
experiment which has cost them their self
respect and thousands of money.

ILLINOIS LEGIsLATURE.-The Legisla-
ture of Illinois stands politically as follows !:
Senate-Republicans, 20; Democrats, Il.
House-Republicans, 100; Democrats, II.
Republican majority on joint ballot, 81.
This Legislature elects United States
Senator to succeed Yates, whose term ex-
pires on the 4th of March, 1871 Logan
and Ex-Governor Oglesby are favorably
spoken Of for the place. Yates will not be
reelected.

ANswERED.-In reply to Sunset Cox's
inquiry in accepting denomination for
Congress-"Why should we labor, why
groan ander the weight of four or FIVE hun
dred millions of tax, with plethoric treas
ury and a great army of Office holders and
tax collectors, in order to pay the debt in
ten years ?"-the Tribune responds =
The present Congress, at its late session,
reduced the burden of Federal taxation by
more than eighty millions per annum,
whereof. at least thirty millions were paid
by New York city. That reduction was
carried by Republican votes alone. Mr..
Cox not choosing to add his. And, in
stead of ''four or five hundred millions of
tax" the entire Federal revenue for 1871,
provided the taxes are left where the laws
now place them, will not exceed two hun
dred and fifty millions, aud the surplus of
revenue will not sdrfhce to pay off the ma
tional debt in fifty years. How long has
Mr.. Cox been asleep?"

The subjoined story is good, and is told
by the Virginia City Enterprise
A friend just in from Ogden and other
points along the Central Pacific Railroad,
says that arriving at Elko just after the re-
suit of the late election was pretty general
ly known. and being in Nose Haines' sa-
loon, he was much amused at the dolorous
manner 10 which an old cock in the place
received the news. The old fellow was
most enthusiastic Republcan-Republi-
can to the back bone-yet with notions of
his own in regard to politics. He Lad
evidently swallowed some half dozen
horns of Moses whisky, and was seated
along by the coal stove in the ba' room
Being thus seated, with chin resting in the
palm of his hands. he soliloquised; "My
rod. my God what history this age is

First Cattle i'm California.

In the year 1859, over 101 years ago,
the FraDciscans or Jesuits, formed an ex-
pedition, by order of the Viceroy of Mexi-
co, and at the expense of the Spanish
Government, for the purpose of establish
ing one or more missions in Californ a.
This expedition, numbering less than 100
men all told, started in four di isions, two
by sea and two by land. One vessel sail
ed from La Pax and one from Cape ST.
ucas. carrying agricultural and mechani-
cal implements seeds, provisions etc, such
as that age could supply, for forming IA
settlement.
OF the parties by land, the advance par
ty, consisting of IS soldiers and some In
dians armed with bows and arrows, pick
out the passes and trails, and cleared the
way as they explored the country ahead for
the real pa ty, which was made up ,a
soldiers and muleteers, end drivers Of
horses mules and l60 head Of cattle
Each party, by land, was accompanied
by one priest, while three or more were in
the vessels, making five in ALL The par
ties all arrived in Santiago on the 10Th OF
July, and formed the first mission in Cali
foruia, The old manuscript records, shown
us by father Gypr. Rubio do not state
from what point in Mexico the cattle were
started, but simply says there were 160
head of cattle. This is the only lot of cat
tie that are recorded as having been
brought from Mexico to California until
many years after
As new missions were established, a
portion Of the increasing herd was allotted
to each; and from this I60 cattle have
sprung the numerous herds that were found
by the American pioneers and early Cali
iornians upon the thousand hills and
throu hout the vast plains and valleys of
this State.
These cattle served good purpose in
their time; furnishing meat to the i'm
provident gold adventurers when starva-
ton threatened them, and supplying our
markets with an abundance of beef at a
time when it was much needed. But like
the Indians, which our pioneers found
friendly and tractable through the tostei-
ing kindness and civilizing influences OF
the priests, that wild and inferior stock has
given place to better breed, more useful
and valuable. Whoever has met with the
narrow chested, long, hollow backed, slop-
ig rumped, lion-tailed and wicked, long
horned Spanish cattle of early times
aud looked into the force, glaring eyes Of
those defiant bIutes, can only rejoice at the
change brought about by the model-shap
ed, kind and docie animals, now seen at
the farm yards and Fairs throughout the
State. Verify We are progressive people

VOTERS OF SHELBY COUNTY.


The first Thursday of August is now
close upon us, when youwill be called on
TO elect a local and State Judiciary for the
ensuing eight years. Each voter is re-
ouired, by the very nature of his duties
as such, to come to the polls on that day
and discharge for himself the sacred
functions of electing good and faithful
officials. who. as authorized agents, will
administer our affairs. The sovereignty
Of our Government is placed in the
people. who, il they choose, can exer-
else it or leave it in the hands OF
the few that may carry things TOR
their own personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
losing sight of the great public interest.
We know whereof we speak when we de-
clare the government of our county and
State has, for the past five years OF Its re-
organized condition, been used to enrich
a set of hungry Northern yandals, who
have come hither since the war in num-
bers sufficient, merely, to GIL the Offices
of the country. A debt, weighing down
the energies of the inhabitants of the soil,
was laid upon US by these men when the
public good did not demand it, and
nothing now can be shown in re-
turn for the money out Of pocket II
our people would right their condition,
let them attend at the polls on next
Thursday week and vote down this same
organization that now seeks with the aid
of iguorant negroes to push themselves
again into power. A large number Of
the true men of the county met IN con-
vention few days since and selected for
the support of the people the names of
such candidates, win be as Orna-

relating, and those who have not given
heretofore should with liberal spirit do
something for themselves and the public
