urgent appeals to modify his letter, but
insisted upon its publication verbatim.
.Furloughed officers of the French
army are ordered to return to their posts.
1t is stated that the Royalist committee
consider Chambord's letter fatal to the

DULL TIMES.

Like measles and whooping cough
among children and blind staggers
among the equine species, dull times
come in their regular order. Times are
duh in Phoebe just now, and stalwart
men, willing to work, fail to find remun-
erative employment, while the usual num-
Der of those who are looking for work and
hoping that they won't find it, are also TO
be met with. But, when contemplating
the situation as gloomily pictured by
some of our cotemporaries, our mind re-
verts to the early days of California,
when an ounce a day, and nothing less,
satisfied the ambition Of the miner. Even
in 1850. and in the liveliest camps on the
Pacific coast, men without means were
found everywhere. and work for all was
not to be obtained. So it in Phoebe to-
day, and 50 il is in every town Of the
same population all over the world.
There is nothing in our situation TO ex-
cite the stream of commiseration at our
alleged iorlorn condition which has
flowed so freely from the iacile pens of
some Of the contributions to our San
Francisco exchanges. Phoebe is live
camp, and those who have the vim,
energy ard backbone to meet the dis
abilities of the hour, will live to reap the
reward Of perseverance and industry.

MORTIMER Although he has expi-
ated the crime of murder by death OF ig-
nominy, public Interest is not lost in re-
gard TO the possibility of his having been
insane at the time the murder was COM
mitted but in this connection the opin-
ion of physician writing to the Marin
Cal Journal is worth mentioning:
Mortimer was for nearly FIVE years an
inmate of San Quentin. Because OF my
professional connections with that place,
and for other reasons, / had more than
ordinary opportunities of knowing him
well. He had an unusual animal ply
sique, lstrong likes and dislikes, the most
logged resolution | ever encountered,
and a brain so perfectly itself, that no
sort of insanity could enter there but
what he himself allowed. DR.. Shurtleff
was unquestonably right, when he pro-
nounced his a case of artificial insan-
ity." But some say, why, if he was not
mad did he not yield at the last moment
He no doubt assumed the insane role at
first to save his own neck, and at last tc
save the feelings of his family. His fam
lily had manifested great feeling for him
and had made great sacrifices, and ht
was just the man to reciprocate that feel
ing, and had the nerve to carry out an,
measure that would make them feel that
his wrong doing had been the result of 9
diseased mind, rather than that of infa
nous villainy. So he died in that course
and for that alone deserves some little
credit.
