California Wonders.

The San Francisco Bulletin says: Near
the confines of FRESNO and Tulare counties,
in the vicinity Of the headwaters OF the Ke-
weah there exists remarkable piece of coun-
try The Indians say it is the abiding place
Of the Evil Spirit. The country lis rugged
and rock mountains, with deep valleys and
precipitous cliffs, Snakes and reptiles OF
every description abound in untold numbers,
and taken in all, it is a wild and most uninvi-
ting region. But, aside from this, most Gu
rious phenomenon exists. The ground trem-
bles and quakes almost continuously, and the
abundant rocks grind and grit together as if
being ur. ed by some terrible Influence
Frequently, deep discharges are heard, muf-
fled ana dull, like the distant sound OF heavy
artillery. At night the sounds seem to be
more abundant than in the day time. No In
dian can be induced to venture near the To-
cality, regarding it with superstitious horror.
No theory is advanced by any one to account
for the strange phenomena mentioned. We
also learn from William Faymenvillc, that
above the Crane Valley, in, this county, anoth-
er place similar to the one mentioned exists:
Persons who have visited the last place nam
ed describe the sounds mentioned as like muf
fed thunder. se sji.fl1 "a 5 1a5aa
How TO GET RIcH.-In recent speech
at the Cooper Union, in New York, Mr. Pc
ter Cooper, its founder, gave expression to
some sound ideas about the accumulation of
property, which we commend to the attention
Of our readers. He said that he had carly
learned the lesson that the 'shand ofthe dilgent
maketh rich" and proceeded to ascribe the
position of the wealth he owned primarily to
the habits Of patient industry which he had
| formed at the outset of his career. From his
early youth he had avoided, he affirmed, al
coholic liquors and the mourning of debts,
and he had always made tia rule to endeavor
| tokeep little ready money on hand, In aa-
dtion he had essayed to advance himself IN
| knowledge, and asserted that it was in the
| efforts that he was compelled to make in this
direction in his youth, that he formed the res
olution to found an institution at which the
Young people of the working classes could ac-
quire that acquaintance with their business and
with science which is absolutely indispensa-
BILE to success in life. He paid an exceeding
| ly warm tribute to his wife, who, he said, had
been industrious, diligent wise, faithful and
afectionate; and he gave also earnest, coun-
sci to his hearers on the evils resulting from the
| combination Of capital against aborers, when
arrayed angrily against each other. He be-
| lieved that reform, to be OF any permanent
| value must he based on personal virtue, and
| he thought that the millennium would not be
| far off when individuals set about attempting
to reform themselves rather than society.

SMOKING URcHINs The most disgusting
creature, without exception, in the world, is
the boy who smokes We have never seen an
urchin with segar between his youthful lips,
or quid rolled away in the; rccesses Of his
mouth without becoming Immediately Impress
ed with the facts that we saw a cunning, ILL
bred creature, and, in his smoking, a safe
forcshadowing of a depraved and coarse man.
A boy who can smoke ought to be able to ep-
d re unAinchinsly innumerable q ogsings, and
to swallow few acres of ippecacuana with
as much grace as he might roll over in his
mouth the most toothsome and dainty OF SUI
CARED bon bons. --Lynchburg Republican.
Here is something for the boys who smoke:
"A French physician has investigated the eft
feet Of smoking on thirty light boys, between
the age of nine and fifteen, who were addict
ed to the habit. Tseniy -seven presented dis
tinct symptoms of nicotne poison In twenty
two there we're serious disorders Of the circu-
ation Indigestion. dullncss Of intellect and a
marked appetite for strong drinks; in three
there was heart Election; in eight decided de-

Lost Two WIvEs-Guriosity, laudable in
its object, has done gricvous injury to a
Missouri couutryman, who went down to s..
Louis the other day, to get divorce from his
wife While walking to the courtroom, he
espied huge sea turtle reposing upon its back
in front of a restaurant, and allured by the
sight, stopped to examine it thoroughly
Meanwhile his wife was at work for herself,
and when finally he hurried on to the court
room she learned to his dismay that the case
had been decided against him, and his wife
had obtained divorce He did net care so
much about the loss Of his wife, as he had en-
gagged another in anticipation Of getting d.
vorcc himself; but as the wife had obtained
a decree against him, he was by the law
prccluded from taking unto himself another
rib until the lapse of FIVE years, He was al
most frantic, as he had his wedding clothes al
ready, and was to have been married the next
day His lawyer made motion far rehear-
ing, and it was set for argument in two days
But the woman was again too smart for HIM,
for she, TOO, had a husband in waiting, and as
soon as the decree was announced she went
out and married her man, without stopping to
examine the anatomy Of a turtle,or any other
fish. bug u ta9a -Ft 5Jsi
