FREE LUNCH,-The Colusa Sun of q
late date has the following:
Having frequently heard the remark
concerning tho elegant FREQ lunches
prepared IN the saloons Mt San Fran
cisco, and having heon reminded Of the
advantages arising therefrom, our
friend, Steve Allen, Of tho Capital Sa-
loon, was induced to try the expert
ment, with a view to add to tho daily
receipts OF tho house. Accordingly q
tlne roast pig was prepared In good
style, and placed IN tho lunch table,
surrounded with vegetables and other
delicacios. The proprietor retired to
n remote corner to watch the result.
In came one, seized OIL the pig, and ex-
pressed great approval Of the cooking,
etc. One after another followed, and
various joints Of the animal were to be
seen IN the fists OF individuals moving
IN different directions and manywore
the remarks Of satisfaction expressed
by tho foastiug parties. But during tho
whole proceeding 4 strict abstinence
was observed. Nary n drink taken.
Not a dina ratified In tho till. The In
truders vanished. At last Steve arose
and taking q somewhat lingering and
astonlshed look at the dilapidated
lunch table, not a fragment of pig was
left, hc said: Lyme, turn up tho
lights ; our u::tomers are too id
blind to see the bal" Free lunches
arc not good investments In Colusa.
Tie locality is too healthy.

RULES FOR GETTING Our OF BRD.-
DR.. Hall says: 1t Is a very great and
mischieyous mistake for persons, old
or young-especially children and
feeble or sedentary persons-to bound
out of bed the moment they wake I'D ;
all instincts shrink from 1t, and
iierccly kick against 1t. Fifteen or
twenty minutes spent In gradually
waking up, after the eyes are opened
and In turning over and stretching the
limbs, do rs much good MS sound sleep,
because these operations set tho blood
In motion by degrees, tending to
equalize the circulation ; for, during
sleep. the blood tends to stagnation,
tho heart beats feebly and slow; and
to shock the system by bouncing up In
an Instant and sending the blood In
overwhelming quantities to the heart,
causing 1t to assume a gallon, when
the instant before it was In a creep, Is
tho greatest absurdity. This instan-
taneons bouncing out of bed MS soon as
tho eyes are opened will DO followed
by WEAKNESS long before noon.

ruR FISK ASSASSINATION.
Talk ON tho Street California Rem
~iuIsecnces Of the Iansnold Family

VnL1eCnC0I Oh INC W a4uuOAA = AUlAI
from the San Francisco Bulletin. January 81
The news which WAS published In
the papers Of yesterday morning OF
the. shooting of Jim Fisk by the para
mour Of his former mistress. was 4
subject of general comment yesterday.
It was the moro talked of from the
fact that the Mansfield family have
been we'll known In California. In
1851 Joseph Mansfield was the editor
Of the San Joaquin Republican. He
was a man who had the respect Of the
community. He was shot by a man
named John Tabor, tho editor Of the
Stockton Journal, the difficulty grow
Ing out of some newspaper trouble.
At that time the Mansfield family re-
sided In Boston. Subsequently Mrs.
Mansfield married a man named War
rem, n citizen Of California, aud the
fmlly, including the daughter, Helen
Josephine, came to San Francisco and
| resided for some years OH Suffer street.
Helen soon became known rs n girl
without reputation, and acquired a
| character for Matchmaking. In lS53
| or '6l she married Frank Lawlor. tho
| actor, and they moved to New York,
where she abandoned her husband or
he abandoned her, and she became
more famous than ever rs the mistress
! of the famous Jim Fisk. She gained n
strong hold on his affections, and for a
long time held tho strings to his purse.
| Among those who know Of her at
tempts TO blackmail In this city, her
disagreement with Fisk Is regarded
merely as an attempt to blackmailh him.
It was frequently remarked yester-
day In such circles that tic probability
Is that she did blackmail him to q con-
siderable extent, and until he found
that the more he yielded tho more she
demanded. The recent sensation OF
the Fisk Mansfield suit was the occa-
sion Of tho New York papers adding
all they could to the interest OF the
sensation by describing her beauty In
glowing terms. She was known here
rs a woman OF remarkably hne phys
iIuc and good figure but tho beauty
Of her features has been very much ex-
agScrated In the newspaper accounts.
Her mother Is now q resident Of this
city.
Colonel Jim Fisk was a man OF more
than ordinary nerve, and Of unbound
ell impudence. Ever since his New
England tour with his magnificent
peddling establishment, 1t has been his
delight to perform some antic so bold,
unexpected and unprecedented that
tho world would cape with astonish,
ment. Ills financial and stock jobbinS
schemes, his Eric manipulatlonS, his
dinners, his theator, his steamboats,,
hlS elbowinS Of reception committees
to one side, and his hundred other
bold or cheeky eccentricities have for
for years furnished an almost constant
sensation. His tragic end creates the
greatest sensation OF all, aud seems
sinGularly in accord with his life, for
he died us he lived-the center Of the
sensation Of the hour.

TIE English journals of December
18th, Just received, are full Of details
Of the illsss Of tho the Prince Of Wales,
and rs the crisis Of the disease occurred
about that time, the papers contain
tho most minute details Of the events
taking place at the bedside Of the pa
tient. A careful sitting of this intelli-
gsnce, however, shows that tho greater
part Of tho nsws was obtained from
the gossip in the barroom Of the rustic
inn at Derringham, a little hamlet sit-
uated near the gates Of Sandrlngham.
Out Of several columns Of these exas-
.gurated accounts, the only wcll au-
thentlcated report appears to be the
statement Of the physician: awe are
painfully anxious. but It Is not a hope
less CASE" This guarded opinion, as
Il Il now known, was confirmed by the
convalsscence Of the Prince OF Wales.
One subject Of conversation among the
villagers assembled ut the Inn may
here be mentioned, u 1t conveys n
practical lesson In regard to the uncer-
talnty Of the future. and also teaches
that princes must, like ordinary NOR
tails, submit to the dispensatlons OF
Providence. On December 0, 1870, a
splendid torchlight festival on the Ice
took place at S~andringham. The fun
and frollc startled the simple rustics,
Brilliant fireworks were displayed,
and grotesqus Chinese lanterns Ilumi,
mated the scene. Sledges full Of laugh
ing ladies, and agile skaters. Invited
from all parts Of tho country, darted
in every direction. On the Ice were
erected tents and booths, from which
mulled claret aud other refreshments
were served to all the numerous guests.
Tho Prince of Wales was the merriest
and happlest Of the party, little think
ing that on tho next anniversary OF tho
day he would be tossing In anguish on
a bed Of sickness and struggling for
life.

Democratic Convention.

The National democratic Lxecutlvc
Committee mot at New York on Wednes
day of last week, and appointed the 9th
day Of July next for the National Demo
cratic Convention to meet, and Baltimore
as the place. Baltimore, because they
wanted to get as far away from the
Liberal influence as possible. This is Q
weak excuse for naming the place SO that
= large portion of the delegation will
have to traverse almost across the whole
Union in order to attend ST. Louis, q
more central point, would have been o
better selection. And the plea for this,
that they wanted to get as far from
Liberal influence as possible, expresses
little confidence in the delegates who are
expected to attend.
But let tn, Convention meet. We
have nosobjection for if it is controlled
by wise men, we have no fcars that au

has too much dscernment for that. We
know it will te argued that the Republi.

will be weakened. That Mr.. Greeley
will take some votes from the Radical

it is held that the party is thus divided,
it should also be remembered that the
