A Boston girl asks the following peril
nent question of Boston girls: "Could
you love man who wore false hair upon
his head, when he had enough hair of his
own? who painted his face and improved
his form as you improved ?)yours? Who
pinched his feet with small shoes, his
hands with small gloves, his waist with
corsets; and then, as if he had not deform-
ed himself enough, tied a huge hustle to
his back, and thrust tiny mountains of
wire into his bosom p

PouTIcs.-The "flthy poor' is seeth-
ing just now, but thus far the excitement
is mostly confined to the Democracy. The
question with them seems to be whether
they must take Haight or be allowed to
nominate 'ssome other man." The friends
of McCoppin and johnson, in this city, arc
giving their voices against Haight, and as
the politicians are generally against the
Governor, the chances are that San Fran
cisco will not give its vote for Haight-
johnson is the pet of the ChivaIry, and
McCoppin is popular with the boys-com-
bined they makes strong team IF nom
mated and elected, Johnson would be
made 9. S. Senator, and McCoppin become
Governor. As this programme will inier-
fere with the schemes of Wallace, Rose,
and others aspirants for the toga, there
may be some hard work done to defeat
those plans.
The Republicans are all adrift, not for
the lack Of candidates, for they are legion,
but, SO far, there seems to be no one man
that the people are inclined to support
-Four years ago, the peoples choice was
nominated in advance, but unfortunately
for the success of the party, the Couven-
tion failed to endorse their favorite, and
were badly beaten at the polls. This year
the people will leave the choice to Con-
vention, and if an honest, able;- ;-incorrupti-

ADVANTAGES OF FEMALE SOCIETY,"
What is it that makes, says cotemporary.
all those men who associate habitually
with women superior to these who do moi?
What makes that woman who is accustom-
ed and at ease in the society of men, supe-
rior to her sex in general? Solely because
they are in the habit of free, graceful,
continued conversations with the other
sex Women in this way lose their friv
olity, their faculties awaken, their delicicies
and peculiarties unfold all their beauty
and captivation in the spirit of intellectual
rivalry. And the men lose their pedantic,
rude, declamatory or sullen manner. The
coin of the understanding and the heart
changes continually. Their asperities are
rubbed off, their better materials polished
and frightened, and their richness, like
the gold, is wrought into finer workman
ship by the fingers of women than it ever
could be by those of men, The iron and
steel of their characters are hidden, like
the character and armor of giant, by
studs and knots gold and precious stones,
when they are not wanted in actual war

A FRAUD.-The Mendocino Democrat
OF February 10th has this:
"a gentleman of marked ability, who
used to write many telling Democratic
article for the Marysville Express, before
our connection with it Eve do not mean
Mr. Linthicum) said to us recently, that
Haight was "a fraud" upon the party
The gentleman to whom We allude is firm
to principle, eloquent in oratory. ranks
high in legal requirements, and of course
is Democrat of the old school. Mr.
Haight accepted nomination fros Fem
ocratic State Convention indorsed its plat
form, nay pledged himself, to do battle for
the party and do all in his power, as
Governor, to advance its principles and
uphold its organization. He has failed
to do these things; hence our political
friend may we'll say he's ga fraud upon the
party" But now comes Haight, the Gov
ernor Of this proud Commonwealth
SO by Democratic votes-in yet more
pitable position. Now comes Haight, we,
say to demean the Democratic party of
Califol MIA; place it in ignoble position, con-
trary to all the principles of the party
and contrary to natural manhood to make
it bend suppliant knee to the Admins
tration at Washington and ask that it will
furnish him, Governor Haight, with au-
thority to use United States troops to pro-
tect the ballot-box and keep order at our
election polls,-the election polls of Califor-
MIA. Was ever Democratic party more
basely insulted by Chief of its own
choosing? Was ever a trusting Democrat
ic community so outrageously misrepre-
sented !? Did ever State Executive,
claiming to the shadow of shade of DEM
ocratic principles, show such terrible
picturing of innate weak ness ?-We're
disgusted, nauseated !"

Enforce the Law.

Among the bills introduced at the last
session of the Legislature by Judge HAGER
Senator from San Francisco, and which
became law, was ono designed to prev
ent the importation of Chinese prostitutes
into the State of California. Upon being
questioned by Republican Senators regard
ing the measure, Judge HAGER assured
them that in his opinion as jurist the law
would subserve the purpose for which it
was intended and prevent the immigration,
not only of the class of women to which
we have referred, but likewise operate
against the landing of Chinese criminals
The bill was introduced as Democratic
measure calculated to redeem the special
pledges made by that party in the last
political canvass, to do everything in their
power which would prevent any kind of
Chinese immigration. The bill ran the
gauntlets of the Judiciary Committees of
the Senate and House, composed of lead
ing lawyers of Democratic faith; was ap-
proved by the Governor, and to-day is
printed in the statutes of 1S69-70 as one
of the laws Of the State of California. By
its provisions the Commissioner of Immi-
grafton is required to be satisfied of the
character of every immigrant who arrives
at this port, and until so satisfied he is not
to grant permit for such landing. Now,
it is notorious that upon every steamer ar
riving from China, since the law passed
and the Legislature adjourned, Chinese
prostitutes have been passengers, and have
been permitted to land without any let or
hindrance. The law is in force, the legal
ity or constitutionality ofits provisions has
never been tested, and to all intents and
purposes it can be. enforced. The Com
missioner of Immigration is Democratic
appointee, and fails to attempt even to en-
force the laws. F. Chronicle.

NUMBER 4S.

The TRUE PoLIcY.-The Hon. George
W. Julian in his speech on the steamship
subsidy bill came out squarely in favor Of
the reservation of the public lands for the
actual settler. He said that if lands were
appropriated for any purposes of public
improvement, they should not be allowed
to pass into the hands Of any corporation,
but be sold and conveyed directly to the
actual settler, and at such moderate prices
as to bring them within reach of those who
actually need them for homes. Nothing
short of such restrictions, said he, can
prevent the establishment of landed aris-
tocracy in our midst, worse even than that
of the Russian and Hungarian pobles, or
the old plantation lords of the South
What Julian says is true. The public
domain should be used to furnish homes
for the industrious poor, and not to build
up giant monopolies Vallejo Recorder.

BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chica-
go or indianapolis, how shall We reach
the West? The best Line is acknowl-
edged to be the c., B. & O., joined togeth.
er with the b. & M. Railroad by the Iron
Bridge at Burlington, and called the BUR
LINGToN ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running TO
Omaha connects with the great Pacific
Roads and forms to-day the leading route
to California The Middle Branch, enter
ing Nebraska at Plattsmouth, passes
through Lincoln, the state Capital, and
will this year be finished to Fort Kearney,
forming the shortest route across the
Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, diverging
at Red Oak, falls into line running down
the Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas
City, and all KANSAS. Passengers by this
route to Kansas, see Illinois, Southern
Iowa, and Missouri, and, by slight d.
vergence, can see Nebraska also.
Aosers oI me views should remember
the Burlington Route, for its towns "high-
cleaning from afar"-its ree-fringed
streams-its rough bluffs and quarries
Its corn-oceans stretching over the prsi-
RES further than eye can reach.
Land-b buyers will BE- sure TO remember
it, for they have friends among the two
thousand who have already bought farms
from Geo. s. Harris, the Land Commits
sioner OF the B. & NJ. r. r. at Burlington,
Iowa, or among the four thousand home
steaders and pre-emptors who last year
filed claims in the Lincoln land Office,
where "Uncle Sam is rich enough TO give
Us all a farm"
