in any Sunday School rs instance Of
honesty being the best policy, still, it is
true-this tale of our two Johns:
There are two Johns in the Fourth
Ward. The last name, of one begins
with G, and the Surname OF the other
commences with aC. They are chums.
They are very sharp men, very; but as
Mark Antony said in a peculiar way,

REDDING On Mondaylss ne visited
the new town OF Reddinx, Shasta county, !,
and found everything lively. Although
but few weeks since the town was survey
ed and lots offered for sale, there are al
ready twenty three buildings either und.r
way or lumber on the ground with which
to build them. Nearly one hundred lots
have been sold and it is expected that all
will have houses on them in a very short
time. Whether the new town will not out.
grow the necessity for it on the start, yet
remains to be seen, but We are inclined to
think it will-Trinity Journal.

GOVERNOR BooTH's SPEEcH.-The
meeting of German Republicans held
at Platt's Hail, San francisco, on the
evening Of the 26,h was grand affair.
Governor Salomon was the first speaker,
addressing the audience in the German
language with great effect. He was follow
by Governor Booth, whose appearance was
hailed with unbounded enthusiasm. Lack
of space prevents US from max ~ extended
CONNER is of the speech of the last named
gentleman, but We cannot resist the temp
tation Of giving couple OF extracts. The
speech will be found in full in the daily
papers.
No progressive party can remain lsng
in power and give entire satisfaction 20 all
its members. With some progress will
be too slow; with others too fast. There
will be idealsts, and there will be adventur-
ers The right measure will not be passed
at the right time. he right man will not
always get the right place. The offices
will not 60 round. Real merit will be
sometimes over looked, and there will be
soldiers OF fortune disappointed in the hope
OF position. Among leaders there will
be personal jealousies, and among the
people some degree of impatience, because
the work Of yes rs is not acc implished IN
days No political party is perfect; none
is likel, to be, while there is as much
human nature in the world as now. Where
there is free thought there will be differ
en-, es OF opinion, and the Republican party
is pre- emlnenty party OF free thou ght
and self criticism. Their are always men,
too, wi attach an exaggerated Importance
to minor differences of oplnion-jusr as we
forget the general health Of the whole body
in thinking of a sore finger or an aching
tooth.
The rious elements Of dissatisfaction
in the Republ can party were repre-
sented in the Cincinnati Convention. As
a movement against the party it was not
so formidable as that attempted under Pres
ideut johnson After twelve years lease
of power the only wonder is it was not
more formidable. The nucleus around
which it was gathered seemed to be personal
opposition to the man who was so largely
the choice of the party that his nomination
for President was foregoue concluslon.-
The President was arraigned tor the exc
cution of laws by men who had assisted to
pass them; by men who would have NOV
ed his impeach ment if he had refused to
execute then.
Again we are to choose between two
policies-victory and compromise. Defeat
ed now, the Democratic party will disin-
tegrate, and both the war parties will soon
disappear from our politics. Then we
shall have peace. There will be no hands
clasped over bloody chasm the chasm
will be closed and hidden from sight oy

SABBATH MORN.

BY ADA B. FOSTER
When ushered in, on piers of light, in Orient the
day Is born, -
A softer sunlight crowns the hills in the deep
hush of Sabbath morn.
The faithful ploW forgets to work, the loud-T0ie-
ed loom at length is still,
And on the rivers messy brink in silence stands
the weary mill.
The shouting winds are sober now; the brook
sends forth softer chime,
And on the heavy sands of life more sloIly roll
the wheels of Time.
Upon the dewy air serene fall lower cummings of
the bee, Ia
And in half-hushed madrigal float the bird.
MARBLES from the tree. 81.
And mingled with these pastoral sounds comes
the deep voice Of sweet church bell,
As drift its echoes up the hill and through tne
wild, romantic dell.
The well-wOrn church-pathS now are uOo Dy
light and rev'rent feet OF ALL
And pensive groups are pouring forth from the
low cot and ivied hall,
To where the chapel in the grove uplfts its slen-
der spire OF white,
Like snowy fuger pointing up to shining courts
Of starry light
The aged pastors holy words now soothe, subdue
the spirit-strifes
And yearning souls swift plume their wings ana
soar beyond the clouds Of life.
A beacon-Ight to guide my barque across hfe's
troubled drowning sea,
spring brook in the desert lone, so Is the molly
day to me-
O God, when off this dropping brow is laid life's
weary weight of thorn,
l pray my spirit may find rest in Thy Eternal
Sabbath Morn.

REAuTY OF WOMEN.

A New York contemporary draws par
aIlel between American and English women,
and by a very easy line of argument, makes
out the former to be far the more beautl-
FIJI, of course we should favor the Yankee
women, but then the standard Of female
beantv varies so with countries and eli
mates that each nationality conceives beau
ty according to its own fashions. The Atrl-
cans, Of course, figure beauty as black or
bronze, with swollen lips, and to make the
lower lip more beautiful, some tribes rem
der it pendulous by attaching heavy jewels
or weights to it through artificial homes. In
Peru the longest ears are considered the
handsomest, and as a great mark OF beauty
in the females. Some people stain their
teeth black and some red, and in Basque
the women do not consider themselves ut
for brides until they have shaved their
heads close to the skin.
The Mexican women rejoice in low tore
heads and very thick heads OF hair, the
blacker the better, and the coarser it is the
higher the appreciation, while the Italians
venerate red, golden, and light hair. The
Spaniards fancy light, slender figures In
their women; the Italians, on the contrary,
are fond of full developments OF limb and
figure. The Orientals and Westerns are
also at complete antipodes as to the manner
in which they interpret beauty and what re-
lates to it, The Eastern women use vel
low cosmetics, while the French and En-
glish dread that tinge in their complexion.
fTbe Asiatic, whether of China or Siam,
is delighted with the olive skin and high
check bones of the Monaghan women.
Thus the negro adores the thick lips, and
did be indulge in art, would produce Venus
with crisp hair, and his group of the Fraces
! would be of the color of basalt. 1t Will be
remembered thai a colored painter once ex-
hibited picture of a group Of angels TO
Napoleon, in which every angel, wings ana
all, were as black as the ace Of spades.
Our New York critic will therefore see
| that the criterion of beauty is simply a
matter ct latitude and longitude, and that
| what we can ugliness is only g want OF a2p-
probation on our part, or rather it may be
| termed misplaced beauty. The woman
who sets value on the public opinion of hel
personal charms, and who is criticised fol
| her lack of them, has only to emigrate to
| that country where her peculiar style O
beauty is in vogue, Among the great a9'
vantages Of improved travel we may there
fore reckon the facile transportation Of un'
appreciated beauties, for we deny most EN-
phatically that ugly women exist any

HEBREWS In AMERICA.

Interesting SpecuIRtIOHs as 20 the I'M
,,,;.-rattou of Jews TO the United
states.
A recent letter 10 the London Spectator,
speaking very highly of the intelligence, en-
ergv, thrift and capacity OF the Jews, and
shaving their value as an element Of pop
ulation in Europe, has been widely copied
and commented upon by the American
press. IL does not seem to be generally
known that there are only $4,000 Jews IN
England, while thare are several hundred
thousand of them in the United States.
TIE perfect religious equality preva-
lent here, and the absence OF all civil
or political disabilities have served to at
trac so many of them hIther, and the
numbers Of constantly increasing. When
we consider thH there are over live NIL
lions Of them in the world somewhere, u
viii readily be recognized that if the United
States should become their favored asylum,
the emigration of the race hither is likely
10 prove extremely valuable. Ireland has
now but little more population than the
aggregate of the Jewish element in the
world. And yet the steady emigration OF
lbe Irish has been one Of the most prolific
sources Of our rapidly increasing poPula-
it0n.
1t IS no eKaggeratioR to say that the Irish
element has really made deep impression
uooa the character of our people, and it Is
still more remarkable that the Scottish emil
grafton, although so much less in volume,
T,s 10, It's marks in the national character
al most to The same extent as the Irish
What then must be the effect OF the con-
tjuued emigration to the United States OF
r,ce Nc numerous as the Jews, and posses
sing so mach capital, capacity for business,
shpewdness, enterprise, energy and intelli
oepce? Some idea Of it may be formed

THE HOUSE WHERE WE WERE

BY WILL. N. CARLTON.
I've been to the old farm house, good wife,
Where YOU and we're wed; ~.E.
Where the love was born 70 cur two hearts,
That now Is cold and dead.
Where o long-kept secret to you told,
IN the beams OF the yellow moon,
And we forged our VOWS out OF loves own
gold,
Tob. broken SC soon, SO soon, wife,
To b. broken so soon, so soon
passed through all the old rooms, good wife;
] wandered on and on;
l followed the steps of fitting ghost
The ghost of love that is gone.
He led me out on the Vine-Wreathed poTcn,
Where with myrtles twined your hair,
He set me down on the old stone step,
Andhe left me musing there, vile,
He left me musing there.
The sun went down as IL used to do,
Ard sunk in the sea Of night;
The two bright stars that we called ours
Came slowly unto my sight;
But the one that was mine went under cloud,
Went under a cloud, alone;
And a tear that I wouldn't have shed for the
world,
Fell down on the old gray stone, wife,
Fell down on the old gray stone.
-a- Et- l
But there be words can ne'er be unsaid,
And deeds can meier be undOne
Except, perhaps, in another world,
When our life's once more begun;
And NAV be, some time in the time to come,
When the days and years are sped,
Wen love again as we used to love,
In the house where we were wed, wife,
In the house where we were wed.
