A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-Ihe percep-
tive faculty of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ IN
men. Women know that beauty rather
than genius is worshipped by the sterner
sex. A man may talk with his lips OF
the latter to his lady-love, but the keen
ness of the woman knows that he is think
ing of the former in his heart. All wo-
men have an innate desire to please their
beauy. They are fond of admiration !;
hence one of their longings is to be beau
tiful. The grand secret Of female beauty
is health-the secret of health is the pow
er to eat, digest and assimilate proper
quantity of wholesome food. Take Vt"-
egar BHters. 1t will cleanse the stomach
tone the vital organs. give perfect di-
gestion, purify the blood, clear up the
complexion, and produce state OF men
tai and physical electricity, which gives
symmetry OF form, bright eyes, white
skin, glossy hair and genuine type OF
female loveEness, which no cosmetic can
compare with.

TEIE FIVE PEER CENT. BGLL.

Between the Sacramento Union and
the Central Pacific Railroad Company
it seems to be "war to the knife and the
knife to the hit." One has the ear OF
the public, and the other unlimited cash
together with the influence inevitably re-
sulting from having thousands of en-
ployees. How far personal spite enters
into the matter, we don't know, nor do
we care. The Journal exists and de-
pcnds on its own merits, and is directly
beholden to neither. Being perfectly in
dependent, our faith is pinned to neither
coat tail, newspaper nor corporation. We
aim to discuss matters from strictly in
dependent standpoint. Great men some
times disagree, and why not newspapers
(great.) After saying 50 much by way
of introduction, we are ready to define
our position further, and assert that 50
far as the controversy referred TO is con
cerned and particularly in relation to the
action of our Legislature on the Five Per
Cent. bill, the Union is right. As that
journal justly observes, the substitute
lopted in the House on the oath ult.,
when the question of total repeal was ag-
itated, was worse than the original act.
OF this we have no doubt. Governor
lIaight, according TO his own showing,
lille contending that all subsidies wore
unconstitutional, compromised tie con-
Sttuti0ndt question by approving the
Five Per Cent. law. Now, when I.egis-
lature is assembled uncquivocally pledged
to the repeal of his Excellency's compro-
mise measure, the majority "whip the
devil around the stump" by saying eve
will exempt the people of certain counties
because they desire to be exempted ~
1t is amusing to sec these modern Dog
berrys shout for pen and paper that they
may "write themselves asses" May
there not be too much of good thing in
this matter? If the people can tax them
o. their property, may they not in the
same way incur obligations to the amount
Of five hundred per cent There is no
way to get around the corollary. For
our part we firmly believe in and set out
the following principles as our platform
in relation to this matter, based upon
reason and actual experience There is
but one plank in our platform, viz: No
taxpayer or taxpayers shall be specially
taxed in any event unless by his or their
votes, or unless the same is imperatively
demanded for the public welfare and
safety. Standing afar off from the scene
of conflict and being disinterested spec
tator, here is the result of oar obscrva-
tions {: in spite Of the UHion'S influence
with the voters, the Railroad runs the

OUR SENAToR.-The Sacramento cor
respondent of the San Francisco Chr0n-
1cte, writing under date of January 25th,
gives the following: "The Democratic
Senators settled that little family affair
about assistant copying clerks. They
concluded after consultation to insert three
names in the resolution. When it came
up for consideration, Mr.. Tompkins
asked of Mr.. McMurray, Chairman of
the Committee on Contingent Expenses,
whether more than one assistant clerk was
necessary. Mr.. McMurray answered that
only one was necessary. The ayes and
noes were called, and although he had re-
ported that only one clerk was necessary,
MIR. McMurray voted for three. This
would not be remarkable were it not for
the fact that Mr.. McMurray is one of the
watch-d dogs ofthe Treasury, and from him
the Senate dtpdys expects instructions as
10 now to vote. 1t is probable that party
pressure was too strong for the Senator
from Trinity to withstand. There were
three patriots to be provided for-one =

TEIE APEORTEONMENF BILL.

The Senate Congressional apporton-
ment, which will probably be agreed to
by the House, adopts l57, l09 as the ratio
liking the number of Representatives in
next Congress. According to the Bill
the number of districts are Full districts
in thirtythree States, excluding Della
ware, Nebraska, Nevada and Oregon,
222 Fractional Districts for these thirty
three States, II; Delaware, Nebraska,
Nevada and Oregon, each one district, 4
total number Of districts, 243. The Sac
ramento Union, referring to the above,
says: The States which receive frac-
tional districts are California, Georgia.
Iowa, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine Mis-
souri,, Minnesota, New York, North Car
olina, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio.
Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and
Wisconsin-l7. California will obtain
four members. The gains will be in the
Middle and Western States. The losses
chiefly in New England. The number
of members now in the House is 243 so
that no change is to take place in that
ro-pect. There are ten Territories. exclu-
sive Of the military possession of Alaska,
and each Territory is entitled to one dele
gate, who may introduce bills and debate
upon any question, but not vote. So that
the debating force in tho house will be

Gus on occasion, yet not nearly as large

In LOVE WITH ALEXIS.-The Omaha
Bee, Of the 18th instant, has the following
singular story: "Among the passengers
on the train from st. Louis this morning
was a wcll-dressed and well-appearing
lady, who made inquiries as to the where
abouts of the Grand Duke. On learning
she expressed a good deal Of regret at
not having arrived sooner, and so con-
Quoted herself as to cause inquiry. 1t
was soon learned that she belongs in
a small town near St. Louis, and is a
maiden lady of some twenty-six Sum-
mers, who has conceived the singular in
fatuation that she is the destined wife of
the Grand Duke Alexis. She attempted
to take passage on the ducal train when
it left st. Louis yesterday noon, but was
prevented. She finally secured ticket
on the regular train, and arrived here
only few hours behind the one on which
Alexis rode. She expressed determin-
alton Of going with him on his buffalo
hunt, but failed in securing seat in the
Pullman cars. She belongs to a good
family, and has plenty of means to carry
out her whim Of following his Highness
over the county, but so far her devotion
has met with no reward, Alexis not deign-
ing to bestow upon her a single glance.
She is not discouraged, however, but
seems confident in the ultimate result of
her mission, and as it is leap-ycar, she
does not have that modcsty in the pur-
suit ofhcr object that is usual with maid
ems Of an uncertain age. She first met
the Duke at his reception in st. Louis,
and to use common phrase, she has
been " stuck after him ever since. She
says she will only desist when he shall
make her the Grand Duchess. She re-
manned at the Ninth-street depot all the
time Alexis was up town, patiently wait
ing for his return. There is little doubt
but she is n monomaniac upon this sub
juct, and should be taken care of. The
railroad authorities will do their best to
return her to st. Louis by the next train. :"

NOVEL DANCE.-At b. N. Bugbey's
vineyard, says the Folsom Teicgrdph, n
dance took place in one of his mammoth
wine tanks. A large party of ladies and
gentlemen, invited to the dcdicatory GER
emony of dancing in one of the largest
watts in the United States, were in at
tendance, and participated in the hospi-
ta'ity OF one of the most enterprising vint-
ners in California. The monster tank
was lit up; the musicians announced

Cook, an " honest farmer" who resides

plant twig bearing three large balls OF
fine cotton, which, with a sufficient guam
tity to pack his eggs for a season, was
grown without special cultivation or at

OUR SACRAMENTO LETTER.
SAcRAMENTo, January 90, 1872.

SACRAMENTO, January ~, 1877.
The week just passed has been one Of
no little note with the Legislature. No
great amount Of business has been trans
acted, but under special order of busl-
ness the two really important measures
thus far introduced have come up and
elected much warm discussion. The
weather since | wrote last has been unu-
sually pleasant-all the more pleasant
when contrasted with that experienced
during the first six weeks of the session.
On Friday last, the Senate adjourned
over till Monday, and on Saturday the
Assembly did likewise until Tuesday.
During the present week it is expected
that the japanese Embassy with Minis
ter De Long will visit the Capitol, and to
give them fitting reception commit
tee has been appointed from both Houses
to meet them and show them such court
estes rs was in their power but it was
understood that no expense was to be in
currcd-some Of the members were even
adverse to the passage of the resolution,
dceming, that in view Of the passage but
recently Of various resolutions and the
introduction Of different acts discourag-
ing Mongolian and Chinese immigra-
ton, it seemed hardly proper to extend a
reception to these representatives, of that
country. But a better spirit prcdomin-
ted and the resolution passed.
TO LEGALIZE GAMBLING.
An effort is soon to be made to license
gambling, and thus bring the " tiger y
under the protecting wings Of the law.
A bill for an act to this effect has been
prepared and it is understood will be in
troduced in the course Of a week or ten
days. In this bill it is proposed to tax
each gambling table as follows: In
San Francisco, $500 per quarter; in Sac
ramcnto, $3.50 and in other towns Of the
State, $50 and the tax so collected Is to
be applied to the school funds of the re-
spcctive cities. Gambling rooms are to
be open to all except minors, and penal
ties are to be inflicted upon those who
deal "hogging games" This bill is
looked upon with not little favor. 1t is
useless to continue longer to try TO stop
this evil, for despite all prosecutions, it is
bound to exist, and is it not better that
the Government should derive some ben
fit from it and at the same time the
whole matter is placed under control and
police surveillance. During the week
quite number of the leaders of the gam
bling fraternity have visited the Capitol,
and every mHucnce they can bring to
bear will be used to ensure the passage

THE NO FENCE LAW.

This important measure camo up in the

on another long debate, no final action
was taken, it being again continued so as

Ter, who gave one of his characteristic
speeches, but advanced in it some very
good arguments. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral opinion that the bill will pass, though
that such counties as wish will be ex-
empted. Petitions almost innumerable
have come in on the question pro and CON,
and if they are all looked into, the Com
mittee on Agriculture have no very en-
viable job.
EDITORS AS JURORS.
Another interesting measure before the
Assembly the past week was bill of Mr..
Days, of Nevada, concerning Grand and
Trial Jurors, and in which editors and
reporters are exempted from such duty.
But the members seemed to think this a
provision rather too sweeping in charac-
ter, and quietly, after long debate, took
off its head the enacting clause. 1t, how
ever, makes little difference, for it is al
ready an established custom throughout
the State never to require jury duty of
members Of the press, more especially
in the large cities. One argument ad-
vanced in opposition to its passage was
to the effect that it would be wrong to
thus lose all command over the intelli-
gencc this fraternity were supposed to
possess, of so much value in certain in
stances-no doubt advanced as a compli-
ment and taken as such.
