WoMAN's Political INFLUENCE
The Auburn Stars and Stripes says
Dutch Flat, which gave Booth forty
three majority and a proportionate
vote for most Of the other Republican
candidates, gave to m Democratic
nominee for a county office a majority
of hfty-seven-a gain in his favor oil
just 100 votes. As the Republicans OF
Dutch Flat are not as prone as are
some Of their brethren of other pre-
clncts to break up in this manner, the
above result occasioned no little sur
prise and inquiry. The solution Of
the mystery Is found In the fact that
said Democratic candidate has a bright
and fascinating sister, who threw all
the ardor of q sisters love and all the
energies Of her womanly shrewdness
into the contest In behalf of her
brother. Much as we would have de-
plored any break In the Republican
line, any modification of the Republi.

Placer, we could almost wish that
this true woman's legitimate efforts
had been crowned with success.

A FIRsr-CLAss NorIcE.-Theodore
Tilton has published a Life Of Victoria
Woodruff. Most people who are at
all acquainted with the editor OF the
Golden Age will agree with us that a
more congenial subject could scarcely
have been chosen by him, or a better
biographer selected by her. The New
York Tribune gives the book the fol-
lowing f~lrst-class notice:
Il 10 certainly tho most extraordinary book
ever written out Of Bedam. Its riehness oil
invention, Its native ignorance, and Its innocent
immortality, cause US 10 wonder whether the

Daughtcr's Fane and Health, and
Renders her Iusano.

WApswoRTH, September Is. Our
usually very quiet village was thrown
into q state Of excitement this evening
by q rumor that a man named Cum
ming, had been living among US on
terms of criminal intimacy with his
daughter Emma, a girl about eighteen
years Of age. Emma Is supposed to
be e~nciente, and Cummings, in his
efforts to destroy the signs Of his guilt,
by drugs and other means, has ruined
his daughters health and caused her
to have spells Of temporary insanity.
During one Of these spells she told
how she had been treated BY her father,
and upon regaining her senses she
made a statement of the whole affair,
saying that her father had compelled
her to crafty his desires both In this
place and In Sacramento. A party OF
mon started for Cummings house this
evening for the purpose Of taking the
gentleman in custody, but he had fled
Tor parts unknown before they arrived.
Cummings has been suspected Of this
for some time, and Is q man that hang
Ing would be too good for.

THE PAST.

"The heart is like river,
Wherein two currents flow
One to tho future leading,
Ono to the Long Ago,
On both the banks are roses,
On both tho sun is cast,
But tho current which is smoOthcst
Flows ever to the past.
Upon this cbbing river
Our thoughts like vessels 60
Some to the Future sailing;
Some to tho Long Ago.
Bringing, at their returning,
iiGIics We dearly prize,
Brought from those distant islands
Bound by youths sunny skies.
Strange that the past remuiueth
Shut in tho heart for aye
Strange We arc willing
10 say to the Past goodbye.
The future Is u shadow
A cloud whose golden sheen
Makes every cloud look golden,
That's in the distant seen.
The Past so full Of pleasure,
A rainbow bright whose bow
Connects the present moments
With those Of Long Ago.
\ bridge We often arc crossing,
Passing the friends OF old,
With iaccs fair and youthful,
And hair as bright rs gold.
Strange that the gold must vanish
Out Of the sunny hair,
Strange that the silver spinncth
Nets for the old to wear.
Strange that the wrinkles tramplc
Out the young faces bloom,
Life shadows that, 10 evening,
Our bright pictures come"
