THE SENATORIAL CHASE.

By JAMES LINEN 1.-THE youngerl
It was a red hot polite
That passed before Booths nose,
BY Jove, he cried. I'll gobble it
If on it l can close.
He stripped his coat. and doffed his hat,
And for il hotly chased,
But seeing that it gained on him
His corsets he nniaced.
No better seemed his legs to serve,
The Office still ran faster,
And Booth, nor any other man,
The thing with speed could master.
Then Anthony bethought trick,
Which might his pupil aid.
Take eff your clothes (of party now,
That Sray-haired Trimmer said.
Il have 10 other Booth replied;
Go nake,l then said James,
Better to show your hindmos: pait
Than miss your noble aims
Then off his clothes Booth cast. and ran,
As fast as he could go:
He has not caught the office yet,-
When he does. let me know.
M e1alter-horse can win a race
When four miles must be run;
No easerness - git place
Ensures that 'twiil be won.
The weights one carries in Il race,
Sometimes are not outside
Maintain your decency. and yea
\ failure can abide.

THE FOURTH OF July

Was success in Auburn. There was but one
thing lacking that no one thought of until it
was too late to get it-and that was about ten or
twenty kegs of lager beer to go along with the
barbecued buffalo. 1t was, however, one of the
most sociable and pleasant celebrations l ever
attended, and have lived in fifteen States and
three foreign Territories.
The President was not good looking man,
but then he made UP by hurrying things
through. Mrs. Reamer, who lead the children,
in discoursing music, acquitted herself with
great credit, and deserves the kind regards and
best wishes of ALL The prayer of the Chaplain
has seldom, If ever, been excelled in appropri-
ate and patriotic effuson; and the Grafton, for
neatness, brevity and madt,m IN pd''ro, will COM
pare favorably with any Grafton delivered in the
State.
The buffalo ate WELL and the boy races and
pole climbing entertained many for long while,
and the evening performance, consisting of a
free dance, " at the American Hotel, flied the
measure of the bill, and left all wishing that
ones whole life could be spent in merry cele-
bration. SrTKEs.

evening at the Court House OH tine cause Of
temperance. Though his audience was very
small, his discourse was animated and instruct
I'VE He explained on scientific basis, though
''a manner clearly comprehensive, how even
the slightest draught of alcohol must necessarily
result in injury, Though perhaps to an imper-
.ceptible degree TO the healthy action of the va
rious organs of the human system. In concu-
SION the speaker eloquently depicted the doplor-
able ravages which King Alcohol was inflicting
On the mortality of OUT people, the comfort of
our homes, and the prosperity and happiness Of
thousands OF women and children. He showed
from statistics, that 1OO. 900 men were annually
'Acarcerated in prison, committed to the lunatic
asylum or died from the effects produced by the
eAcessive use Of alcohol. The lecture was in
~ructve because it was true, and was deserving

HARVEST YIELD.-We are informed from the
best authority that the harvest Of small grain in
the western part of Placer this year, win average,
iat the lowest estimate, about fifteen bushels to
the acre. This does not seem much of yield
but from whatwe know of grain growing in Cali
fornia, and considering the season has been so
very dry, and that much of the grain was sown
quite late, we call it a good average. If every
county in the State has done as well by five
bushels to the acre, there will be an abundance
OF grain, and at present prices. provided too
much is not consumed in transportation, the
farmers will escape the recently threatened fail
ure without serious losses.
