of such profanity as to be necessarily ex-

SEEING tbs YosEMITE.--After a,
which has been said and sung, painted
and written ofthe Yosemite and it's won>
ders, the fame of which has gone abroad
through all the world, il is little humili-
ating to reflect that less than seven thous
and five hundred people, ell told, have
ever set foot within the valley since its
first discovery by the white man. Up to
the year 1864, when j. n. Huehings
took up his permanent residence in the
valley, not 200 white persons, exclusive
Of the small militia force which persned
the Indians into the valley and defeated
them near the Yosemite fall, had ever
looked upon its wonders. Since then the
number Of visitors has been as follows In
1864, 147 in 1866, 2s7; in 1866, 393 /;
in 1867, 623; in 1853, 499 in 1869, l.,
i22; in 1870, LBS; in 1871, to Now
omber lst, 2,133. Ofthese less than t.
900 recorded visitors. probably not 1000
hailed from San Francisco, the great bulk
Of them coming from beyond the Rocky
Mountains, and as many hailed from
Europe as from California.

Habits of scorn and contempt are based
in and grown out of an inordinate self
righteousness the hoIier-than-thou "
principle. 1t is very far removed from
that humility which dislrusts its own pow

above; and SO; by the operations of self
righteous instinct, it gEavitates toward a
cOalescing with the very evil which, at the
outset, it affected to scorn and treat with

A SCIENTIFIC QURsT1oN SETTLED.-
It is common belief even among practi.
cal jewellers, that as the diamond being
harder than anything else on earth, can
be cut with nothing but diamond dust, so
it cannot be broken by anything composed
of softer material. A few days since a
diamond setter employed by San Fran
'cisco jewelel, while discussing this propo.
sition with fellow workman, took up a
diamond worth 5000, belonging to a
sharp lawyer of this city, which he had
just been resetting, and TO demonstrate
the truth thereof tapped it smartly on
. the face with a hammer. The stern logic
of fact knocked his time. honored theory
higher than kite, and lawsuit is likely
to grow out Of this discussion of a scien
tifc question. It will be highly satisfac-
tory to the scientific world and outsiders
generally TO know that the question is
practically settled.-S. F. Ballctin.

1t is not work that kills men; il is

SATAN DEN0UNCING SIN.

The Times attacks, in strain of lofty
indignation, those misguided gentlemen
who, in the dark and bloody days of 1861,
formed themselves into the Southern In
dependence Association" In its radical
zeal it smells a rebel in every one of them,
and is so blinded by desire to punish
their political heresies that it gives them
name they never thought of taking for
themselves.
The hatred for the followers of the "lost
cause" that crops out in the Times may be
regarded as the very latest departure.
Heretofore the friends of the movement"
have been fattered by honeyed words,
and held up as models of all that is great
and manly. They have been designated
as our best citizens, and, in fact, the com
prehensive expression this community, :"
SO frequently employed by our time
serving contemporary, has been applied
to them without deviation until lately
Whence this change? Why does the or
gan of the ''white mans party" thus as
sail its underlying idea? Why does the
Times turn States evidence, and hold the
originators of the secession movement up
to scorn? Why does Satan thus turn at
the eleventh hour and rebuke sin? Is it
because he has been deprived of the city
printing?

oralty is no place for him; that he is an ircu-
than his company. The discharge thus ad-
ministered rivals in rude bleakness that
with which the dove was elected from the
window of the ark. Henceforth there is to
be no rest for the sole of his political foot in
this section.
In the name of the departed spirit of
the dove, we protest against the wrong
done to its memory, for it was gentle
minded bird, totally destitute of aquatic
habits, and had no interest in getting up
q deluge, while the hero of our inunda-
ton is no dove at all, but merely
gander, who naturally wanted a puddle
to paddle around in.

A PLAN ABOUT CUBA.

About the easiest way to obtain Cuba,
which is something that the President
might consider an enormous feather in
his cap, would be to issue proclamation
recognizing the rebels as belligerents,
which could well be done since they have
held their own for three long years. This
would incline Spain to allow the pro-
vince to buy itself, which would enable
US to help the trade by furnishing the
money. Then annexation would result
as a natural consequence. We, the United
States, would add another State to the
confederacy at an expense Of eighty or a
hundred millions of dollars. If Mr.. Sec
retary Fish can consummate this piece of
diplomacy, another of our foreign per-
plexlties will be removed.

Next to the editor of the Times, the
Mayor is probably the maddest man in
town. The editor is savage because his
little historical reference concerning the
Gaines case upset his argument. and the
Mayor venteth his wrath because the edi-
tor on whom he relied was more anxious
to ventilate his historical knowledge than
he was to apply his'facts to the argument
which he was making. These mono
maniacs are never safe to follow settled
thought, for they are always endeavoring
to assimilate their charge to the mono
mania that consumes them. The Times
spoils all the cases with defective, irrele-
want or inconsistent history.

The Louisville Coarier-Journal is dis
gusted because the New York Tribune en-
ploys correspondent to interview the

gusting, that the Tribune refuses to accept
the word of the Courie journal when it
says that all the Southern people are in
favor of peace, but prefers to seek its
own facts, and in doing so finds that there
is no peace at all, but that a new war is
in process of parturition. The Courier
Journal will either have to tell more
truth, or consent to live hereafter in
continual state of disgust.

Mace is spelling for a fight in New

muss in Georgia. Why can not these
two belligerents be brought within strik-

twenty minutes in Canada without getting
lick from the enemy, and Toombs wor-
ried out five years in the rebellion with
out killing the six Yankees that he en-
tered into an implied covenant to destroy.
They are just the men to pit against each
other. 1t would be the longest, activest
