"IIAwAn PoNoI, One of the native journals
has an article on opium smuggling, and deprecates
the increasing use Of the drug among the people
arising from their association with the Chinese. II recon-
mends that the next Legislature repeal the law authorizing
the granting of opium licenses, and that the sale Of the drug
be prohibited to all except regular physicians that any other
persons found having opium in their possession be punishable
by fine and imprisonment and that the police receive eniarg-
ed powers TO search for it. The subject ought, and doubtless

STABLE WIT.-Ne DO not mean wit which retains
its force, and like good wine is improved in flavor by age, but
what we will call the wit Of the stables, and Of low associations.
To spell s~hockingly and talk and write ungrammaticaly may
have its attractions TO those whose highest literary enjoyment
IS found in a scurrlous newspaper, or in such grotesque writ
ings as Josh Billings, ARENAS Ward, and Nasty have been able

Of iiterate and coarse people, in order 70 make a pleasing i'm

In THE BULRUsHEs.-The alarm Of fire on Sunday

against the wind, burning over n space of about one hundred

~ The San Francisco Bulletin says that the
prospects Of beet culture in the State are exceedingly
promising, and with the decline of cane sugar manufactured in
the Southern States il is not improbable that it will ultimately
be the source of supply of a large portion of the sugar con-
sumed in the United States. The venture Of the AlVarado
Company has proved eminently successful, and the farmers Of
the locality have discovered that il is possible 20 raise a very
fair crop of beets when wheat, from excessive moisture or
drought, has entirely failed.

HIGH PRICES FOR CATTLE.-At a recent sale in the
State of New York, eleven COWS Of the celebrated
Duchess breed brought the following astonishing prices

S27 600. $4,000, and $4,000! An event Of rather a humor-
Gus kind took place during the sale. which called forth a loud
shout and cIapping Of hands from the crowd. As they were
bidding on the 9Th Duchess Of Geneva. she followed the herds
man quietly around the ring, displaying her fine points to the
best advantage but as the auctioneer reached the bid Of
$4,000 she suddenly stopped in her walk, nenacingly threw
up her head, as if amazed at being rated al so astounding a
sum, and began to back out Of the ring with all her might II
was some time before they could bring her back, and il took
three stout men 10 DO It. The bidding again began upon her.
and was finally run up TO $4,000, az which price she was
struck off, when the noble cow quietly followed her herdsmaD
back 70 the stall. -

statements:

day. and the Attorney General does 60!

the President issued his proclamation at the
instigation of certain persons ii Washing

Governor Kellogg. The following state
men: is, therefore. authorized:
To all personal applications in behalf OF
issuing proclamation. the President gave
a decided negative answer. stating that ne
did not believe affairs in Louisiana were IL
such condition as to justify such an im
rortan: step on his part. When Governor
Kellogg made his re4uis;tion upon him to.
she aid of the federal government to sustain
him As the Governor against the niachlna'
:ions of his opponents. the President remon'
strated, and requested Mr.. Kellogg to re.
consider his demand. and endeavOr 70 adj
minister the duties of his office without fur
cher federal interference. Tc this Governor
Kellogg responded, reiterating the absolute
necessity for such support, and insisting
ucon his requisition being complied with.
T.,der these circumstances the President
ctuld not do otherwise tuan issue the proc
lama;ion. although he signed it very reluct.
antIy and probably would not have affixed
I.is signature if he could have constitution
ally avoided doing SO.
