Young and Rising Generation

The Negative powers OF life are strong, but
in a few years how often the palid hue, the
lack -lustre eye and emaciated form, and the
impossibiity of application to mental ef-
fort, show their baneful influence. 1t soon
becomes evident to the observer that some
depressing influence is checking the devel-
opnent ofthe body. Consumption Is talked
OF, and perhaps the youth Is removed from
school and sent into the country. This Is
one of the worst movements. Removed
from ordinary diversions of the ever-chang-
ing scenes of the city, the powers OF the
body, too much enfeebled TO give zeSt TO
healthful and rural exercise, thoughts are
turned inwardly upon themselves.
II the patient be female the approach OF
the menses Is looked for with anxiety as
the first symptom in which nature is to
show her saving power in diffusing the
circulation and visiting the cheek with
the bloom OF health. Alas! increase Of APP
petite has grown by what IL fed on. The
energies OF the system are Frustrated, and
the whole economy Is deranged. The beau
tiful and wonderful period In which body
and mind undergo so fascinating a change
from child TO woman, Is looked for in vain.
The parents heart bleeds In anxiety, and
fancies the grave but waiting for lis victim.

THE PASSIVE POLICY.

The Missouri Republican, John Quincy
Adams, Frank Blair, and other men and
papers OF greater or less account, have sug-
gested that ia the coming Presidential con-
test the Dem ocracy follow the policy adopted
in tl,. ,ast Miseouri Cubernatorial election,
when Grant and his thieying, tyrannical par
ty were cleaned GU. like shotgun ard a
substantial Democratic victory won. Such
a victory in the Nationa! contest Of 1872 as
was won in Missouri under Grantz Brown,
Schurz, Blair and other leaders, Democrats
aud conservative Republicans, in that fight,
would surely not and ought not to be dis
tasteful or unacceptable to any Democrat in
the United States. TLs talk about what
the Democracy viii or will not do has alarm
ed Gfent aad bis bread and butter brigade,
and their blower, and strikers and lickspt-
ties all over the county. We are in no
hurry about having National Democratic
Convention assemble at an early day, and
our voice now is for the policy that will save
the country most speedily and esectUaNy
from the tyranny and plunderinss Of Grant
and biz corrupt crew. We may say further,
that we are not willing that Grants party
shali be fought with divided opposition
by two organizations, tha. could rot more
than hope to throw the election into the
House, which would in the end elect Grant.
OF two evils choose the least, and il it must
be Grant or some other man, then We are
for the next best "cthcr man" to be had. If
this is rot in reach, then it viii be time to
hold our convention, nominate our candi-
dates, marshal our hosts, and do battle
again in the namo of Democracy, for the
people, their rights and property.

CAYoTEs AND SHEET. "A subscriber writes
us that he has been trying to raise sheep in
the hills Of this county for a number of
years, and that but for the inroads and de-
struction made by cayotes, he would succeed
well, but that these destructive pests keep
his hock down to about the original number.
Our correspondent then says: In the Western
and frontier States laws for the protection OF
domestic animals, especially sheep, are pass
ed by the Legislatures providing for bounties
on the scalps of such wild animals as are
known to be destructive of those focks
Cayotes are about the only pests that we
have to provide against. think if the
Legislature was petitioned to it might pass a
law giving a small bounty for cayotc scllps,
and that by means of such a law these pests
would soon be got rid of. This law would
hardly answer if made local and only apply
to this county, as scalps would probably be
brought here from other counties and Placer
imposed on. If it was a general law, those
counties having no cayotes would suffer no
wrong as they would have to pay no money
ON scalps. think the people Of this county
would willingly pay a small tax to get rid OF
these cayotes; at least there is no harm in
bringing the matter to the notice of the pub
lie and our legislators.

CHAPARRAL RANCHES.
This letter reached us toe late for our last
weeks issue.

1hls letter reached Us toe late Tor our last
weeks issue.
Foor-mIs, Dec. 22d, 1871.
Mr.. EDITon-Sr:-Perhaps some Of the
readers Of your paper would Ike to hear
from US chaparral ranchers. | VII commu-
nicate, through your columns. the condition
of our foothills. Flowing and seeding is
going on with an energy that will prove a
success to our part Of Placer county. Vine
yards have been, and arc still being, put out
on every sunny hillside where not many
years ago chaparral and poison-oak were its
principal productions; and in connection with
the grapevine there is also aome mulberry
orchards started, for the purpose Of raising
sill, here in our midst. But how silk rails
ing will succeed is yet to be found ont, and
experience ia the way in which it can be
tested thoroughly.
| see in your last issue a letter from one
Of our ioot-hill farmers, who thinks he is
going to raise alfalfa. Now, my impression
is, he will find it more work than he expects,
although he seems to be building air castles
about the hay that it will raise to the acre,
the hogs that he will htten; horses, COWS,
etc, that he will keep, all on the same pas
ture. Although l think that with proper
care it can be raised in some localities along
the foothills Of the Sierra Nevadas, for the
soil is richer, the water privileges better, and
we are free from the hot winds that are so
destructive in the Sacramento valley.
We are having fine shower of rain, and
nothing could be more acceptable at pres
ent. More anon. SoLED.

THE latest news from Sacramento says
the Sacramento river is much higher than the
American, and consequently has backed up
the latter stream some two miles. We can
inform our Sacramento friends that according
to the rain here on Thursday night aad yes

day, overtop the Sacramento, and that they
had better keep sharp eye on Robels tan
merry and the levees in that vicinity.

The RIvERs-A local in the Union OF
Thursday noon says:

"At 10 O'Clock this morning the Sacramento
stood at twenty feet one inch above low water
mark. 1t is running with nearly full banks,
backing up the American some distance from its
mouth.
"The American river this morning at 10H
o'clock, two miles from its mouth, or Mt Twenty
fourth street, was acting very dscreotlv, being
properly within its banks. One mile below, or
near Lisle's bridge it was somewhat over its
banks. but the road was only partially covered
over the road and bridge this morning. There
is quite margin yet even before the water gets
to the bottom of theevee which stands its whole
hight-some fifteen feet-above the surface Of
the water. From the effects OF the storm yes
terday the American viii probably run fuller to-
day, hut there is not the least danger Of flood
from that quarter from the present storm. Sac
rameuto is amply protected By its leyecsf'
