CHURLISH PEOPLE.
BY ANNA CLEANERS.

Talk about the gloomy days of
November. or the blighting frosts
and chilling winds Of December
Bless me! | would rather live in
tie fog, and chill, and shadow Of a
lifetime of such weather, than to be
contin ally under the influence OF
churlish people.
Look into their faces; what arc to
be seen there but scowls, and
trowns, and discomfort; reminding
one of snarling mastiff chained to
his kennel.
With them one would suppose
that every thing had gone wrong
from the day of their birth to the
present time; and they seemed de-
termined that everybody and every
thing with whom they come in con
tact should partake of the same
churlish spirit. The very dog
which follows their footsteps, and
the horse upon which they ride
seem to imbibe the same sullen
disposition.
1t the animal race is influenced
by such spirit. how direful must
be It's effects upon the human mind.
\ child subjected to he cold, rigid
discipline of such parents will, III
most cases. lose all the kind, genial
warmth of its nature, and become
shy and conservative TO fault.
4 home with such shadow ever
resting over its threshold, is more
like a gloomy prison cell than a
haven Of peace and joy and love.
AS the mariner is made aware OF
the near approach OF an iceberg by
the sudden falling Of the tempera-
ture, so the quick, tender. sensitive
mind at once detects the presence of
these churlish people. One glance
at tho hard. stern countenance is
enough to repel the warmest heart,
and to dampen the ardor and enthu-
siasm of the most ambitious aspi-
ra t.
These churlish people are univers-
ally fauIt-inding people. With
them the sun never shines at the
right time the wind never blows
the right way: it is always too much,
or not enough Of a thing; and Sc
everything is wrong side up, and
wrong side out. One can not turn
around in their presence but it is III
the wrong direction, nor can he
speak on any subject but he is made
to feel that he has said the wrong
thing. AS to good, hearty,
healthy joyous laugh, it would orlng
forth frown darker than the black.

another yielded to the gentle influence,

"Lo, the poor INDIAN" has got the
whooping cough. So has Mrs. Lo,"
and the " Lo" family generally. For the
comfort of our readers we will say that
the whoops they are now giving are not
war whoops. 1t is new disease to the
diggers, and they think it will send them
all to the happy hunting grounds. We
hear also that some of the Chinese at
Douglas City have caught the disease, in
which case we predict it will soon be
brought to this place.

HEARD FRoM.-E. Cornell, now on
a visit to the East, writes us from Lone
Cedar, Minnesota, under date, Sept. 26,
that he had pleasant trip across the
plains--much better than coming this
way in 1850. Likes Minnesota, all but
the cold and scarcity of timber. Cornell
is particularly in love with the fine lakes
Of that State, and says that geese, ducks
and sandhill cranes abound ; also that he
had tried for several days to kill one but
hadn't succeeded, but thinks if he had

Natural Decay-PrOsect the system.

The human body is machine, and
therefore cannot endure forever but, like
watch or sewing machine, it will last
much longer if properly regulated and
duly repaired, than if no pains were taken
to keep it in order. The great object of
everyone who desires a long and healthy
life should be to put the body in condi-
ton to resist the life threatening influences
by which we are all more or less sur
rounded ; and'no invigorant and correct
i've at present known SO effectively answers
this purpose as the vitalizing elixir which,
under the unpretending name Of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, has been for more
than twenty years the standard tonic of
America. In crowded cities, where the
atmosphere Is contaminated with the ef-
tluvia inseparable from large populations
in marshy regions, where the soggy soil
reeks with miasma on the prairies and
In the forests, where every Fall the air is
tainted with exhalations from rotting
weeds and grasses, or decomposing leaves
in short, in every locality where malaria
exists, this powerful vegetable antidote is
urgently needed. Fever and ague, bill
ious fevers, dysentery, congestion of the
liver, jaundice, rheumatism, and all dis
eases which are generated by infected air,
impure water, or sudden changes of teri :
perature, may be averted by strengthen
ing and regulating the system in advance
with Hostetter's Bitters. Autumn is al
ways season of Peril, especially to weak
susceptible organizations. Even the more
vigorous are apt to be in some measure
depressed by the humid atmosphere, load
ed with deleterious gases produced by
vegetable decay. The Fall is period OF
the year when the renovation and regula-
tion of the living machine is peculiarly
important, and the Bitters should there
fore be taken daily at this critical season.

LOST HIS CLoTHEs.-A certain village
in the county of Trinity, was the scene of
the following incident which happened
during the past week: John had cleaned
up, or in some other way had made
a raise, and as is frequently the case with
lucky miners invested portion of his
earnings in "refned lightning'' thereby
quitting an enemy in his mouth to steal
away his Senses" After imbibing what
he considered a sufficient quantity, John
started home, but as the road was long
one and remarkably crooked on this oc-
casion, he concluded to rest by the way
side. So, stripping off his clothing, even
to his boots and socks, he turned in"
in the corner of neighboring fence and
was soon wrapt in the arms of Morpheus.
But the night it was cold, and the
broad canopy of Heaven, notwithstanding
the poets praises, is not sufficient covering
on such night; our hero was soon
awakened, somewhat astonished to find
himself sans coat, sans hat, sans boots,
sans almost everything in the line of
cheap ready-made clothing, and to make
the matter worse he was totally unable to
account for this condition of affairs. Con-
sidering it question of doubtful policy
to stand there en- dishd6itte and shivering
in the cold night air, he made his way
back to the town, and was soon comfort
ably housed. Next morning q party of
friends instituted a search for the missing
garments which were found by the road
side all safe, as was also something over
one hundred dollars in coin, in the pock-
cts of his pantaloons. Moral-Strict eti
quette may demand the dofing of outer
garments before retiring for the night,
but under circumstances like those noted
above it would be we'll to suspend the
rules.

DEATH OF JOHN SLATTERY. - The

following in reference to the accident by
which John Slattery lost his life, to which
we alluded last week. Thomas and Pat
rick Slattery, brothers Of the deceased,
started Immediately on receiving the dis
patch relating to the accident, but on
reaching Shasta, learned that John was
dead and came back: AT about half
past o'clock yesterday afternoon, John
Slattery, coal man at the Crown Point
mine, fell off a tramway leading from the
company's coal dump to the hosting
works, and struck on his head, fracturinc
his skull badly, just above his righ. tenn
pie. 1t is thought that the man fell from
the tramway while in fit, he having
complained Of feeling unwell few min
utes before the accident occurred. The
distance from the tramway to the ground
was about 20 feet. The unfortunate man
when picked up, was found to be insensi-
BILE. Doctors Kirby and Manson we're
summoned promptly and entered at once
upon the work of trepanning the mans

morning, when death supervened, the
immediate cause being confusion of the
