This bill drags it's slow length along in
the Senate. It. is argued. by those in
favor of its passage that the only proper
way to deal with ''rebels" is to forgive
them fully and without delay. This is
really q correct view Of the question.
The men who lost all, but their honor, in
the late war, have waited with well-bred
patience for Congress to pass an amnesty
Act, and thus relieve them from the dis.
abilities under which they now labor. It
is feared by the opponents OF the mea
sure that, il freed from their, bonds, the
late rebels would elect to Congress the
leaders in the recent rebellion, and sct
generally as il their turn had, come. Say
these reasoners: Every one knows that
the amnesty bin is really one to fe,en-
force the Democratic patty. - .ioi'"l'
The effect Of the, bill may be to add
strength to TINT party; but this is not
the primary object. which is really to re-
lieve the Southern people of q burden
they have long and patiently borne. It
seems to ba ignored BY the Radicals that
the Southern people are a part Of the
nation, part that has. in times gone by,
done it's faali share toward upholding the
honor,ot our flag. :. They call Upon the
Government to ask NJ. Theirs TO pro

likening it to q cure for cancer. It may
do for this geHtleman from the SHOWS OF
Neyada to sneer at the distress of the
Southern people. and-to persist in his
unchariitable spirit, but it is to be doubt
ed that even his constituents will wholly
approve of his course. If they were to
do SO. they would be devoid of the true
feeling of men. Even Mr.. Beecher says,
since we cannot directly cure tho misrale
in the South, let us at least leave the
people FREQ to do the best they can for
themselves. Let us not shut out all their
old and trusted leaders from Office; and
he goes ON to say, we are excluding the
class of the most intelligent and capable
men in the South for aiding a cause in
which all the white people there were,
more or less, interested. It is indeed
time for suoh folly to end. It is lament
able, the Louisville Courier-J Journal
trnthfully declares, to see the Senate
wasting valuable time over this measure.

CAUSE OF BRITISH DISSATISFACTION =
The New York Erening Post. in referring
to the sudden excitement in England
over the Washington treaty, says: ''The
immediate cause Of this change has been
disappointment nccasioned by discove-
ry OF the fact that the United States
Government had not relinquished its
claims to general damages for the injury
done by British cruisers to American
commerce. We, in America, are also
disappointed, perhaps. ut the position
taken by the British Government. We
had vague idea that our opponents had
given up the case before trial. Both
nations have discovered their mistake,
but the grumblinG seems to be nearly
confined to the other side of tho ouean. ="

lowing melancholy snake story: "a poor

persons saw what appeared to be snake
sticking it's mead from her throat. Yes

A Maniac Bride.

The Detroit Free Press of March 81
says: about three weeks ago, after an
acquaintance of several years, young
lady named Ishor, living with relatives
on Michigan avenue, was married in
this city to young man named Taylor
of Indianapolis. The ceremony was
hardly over when Taylor received a
telegram from Lynn, Mass, that his
aged mother was dying, and in an hour
had left the city, calculating to return
within ten days at the farthest. He
wrote one letter back, and Monday his
bride received news that mother and
son were both dead He was exposed
to the smallpox somewhere on his
route, took severe cold, and die6 the

How 10 Keen Canary Birds.

Many persons have difficulty in keep
ing their canary birds in good health. One
who is xrerenced in their care says:
Place the cage where no draft of air
can strike the bird; give nothing to
healthy birds but canary and rape seed,
mixed with water, cuttlefsh bones and
gravel, on the floor of the cage; also
occasionally little water for bathing
the room should not be overheated {;
when moulting Shedding feathers) avoid
drafts of air; give plenty of rape seed
slightly moistened; little hard-boiled
egg and cracker grated fine is excellent.
By observing these simple directions
birds may be kept in fine condition for
years. Bad seed kills most Of the birds
that die; to which might be added that
canary birds are not only very fond of
but benefited by having often leaf of
cabbage, pieces of apples, or other green
food, which serves to keep down the ten
dency to fever and prevent constipation.
Our birds usually battle each day as
regularly as one washes the face, and
with apparent benefit, too. When birds
are sick, and inclined not to eat we'll, re.
move all the food for a day, and then
give only soaked bread, from which most
OF the moisture has been squeezed.

Severe Earthquake in California.

The recent earthquake in California
proves to be more disastrous than was
at first supposed A gentleman from
lingo county, where the earthquake of
Tuesday morning centered, reports Camp
independence completely ruined, the
Court House destroyed, and not single
adobe or brick building standing from
Bishop Creek to Independence. Fears
are entertained for other mining camps
further south in the Sierras. Mrs.
West, residing near Independence, was
severely injured and her child killed.
Stage passengers report several assures,
miles IN length, 50 to 200 feet wide, and
20 feet deep, opened along the eastern
base of the Sierra Nevada, near Big
Pine Camp. At other places in the
vicinity the ground was heaved up in
great ridges. Large springs stopped
running, and others broke out. Heavy
snow slides occurred in, the Sierra, and
large rocks rolled down the mountain
sides, blocking up the stage road. The
shocks lasted from 2:20 to $50 a. m.
At Aurora, New, no damage was done,
and at Belmont, New, only mill ma,
chine was thrown down. That section
abounds in evidences of recent volcanic
action, but 20 such earthquake was felt
before within the memory of the In
dams. Many people in Independence
were hurt, but no lives lost. The shocks
were probably heaviest southwestward,
toward Arizona, in the desert country,
with hardly any population

A Novel Question.

A man named Thomas Haggerty, it
will be recollected, while committing a
burglary in Albany last fall, was seriously
wounded in exploding the safes, and was
taken to Troy by his friends, where he
was arrested. One of his legs was badly
broken, and he was not removed to Al
bany until few weeks since. On
Wednesday his case came up in the AL
bany County Court of Sessions, and a
novel question presented itself In 1867
Haggerty was sent to Clinton Prison for
three years from Albany for robbery, and
in 1869 made his escape from the insti-
tuition. The District Attorney of Albany
moved to have him sent back to prison,
claiming that Notwithstanding over three
years had elapsed, the sentence could
only be carried out by the prisoner ac-
tually suffering imprisonment for the
term for which he was sentenced. Coun7
sci for the prisoner claimed the contrary.
and that if the defendant were the per-
son originally convicted, he could not,
after the three years had expired, be
compelled to serve out the remainder of
his term. The Court decided the point
against the defendant, and then tried
the question whether Haggerty was the
person who had escaped from prison.
The jurors decided that he was, and the
Court thereupon ordered him to be sent
back to Clinton.

Running a Store by Steam.

On the Upper Sacramento river
novel business has for number of years
been conducted by Captain George W.
Case, which partakes somewhat of the
romantic style of the border traders of
early times, with this difference-that a
well appointed steamer takes the place
of the primitive canoe, and the custom
ers, instead of being the redskins of the
forest, are we'll TODD families settled
upon and owning ranches along the
banks of the Sacramento river. Captain
Case commenced trading between Sacra-
mento and point few miles above
Colusa about eight years ago, by taking
a small barge load of goods as high up
the river as he wished to go, paying a
steamer to tow him up, and then drop
ping down with the current from house
to house to do his trading, supplying the
settlers with whatever goods they want
ed, and taking in exchange all kinds of
produce, especially butter, eggs, hides
and peltries anything that could be
converted into cash and thenreconverted
into more goods for another trip. Some
four years ago Captain Case built small
steamer at cost of $4,000, and with the
assistance of a pilot and an engineer,
round trips have been made about once
in two weeks ever since. The settlers
along the river find this floating store a
great convenience, and one of them in
forms us they get goods from the steamer
just as cheaply as they could from mer-
chants in town. The captain and his
steamer are anxiously looked for every
week, up or. down, when hexpakes his
regular calls, does his tradi1fgsand Cos
siping, and posts his friends on the news
of the outside world. The call made,
business transacted, and Gall ashore
given out, they haul in the bow line or
stern nrhor, as the case may be, and
s.4un Oh to the next rancho. The en-
terprise of Captain Case has been well
rewarded, as it deserves to be, for he
owns comfortable property in Sacra-
mento, besides his steam store, fine
stock of goods, and being in the enjoy
ment of a fine and increasing trade
