days ago for the third time within

cars to carry a Kentuckian's rela-
tives to the residence of bis bride,

A grave Elder in an English
church forbade the bans of a certain
young couple because he had Gin
tended Hannah for himself"
"Floating down the sea of mat
rimony by the light OF the honey
moon," is the way a city editor
touchingly alludes to the marriage
of bis son.
Kansas girls in great numbers
are signing pledge not to marry
a man who drinks. There is a
great temperance revival going on
i'll nearly all the Western States.
A marriage was performed in
Waterloo, Michigan, recently, be-
tween man aged SS and a girl of
20. The bridegroom presented his
bride with an estate worth $11, 900
before the ceremony.
Sir James Hannon, the successor
to Lord Penzance, is said to be also
breaking down in health Oh account
of the overwhelming amount of d.
vorce business thrown on him in his

port Of a recent wedding, in which

DEMOCRACY WITHOUT A HEAD.

tionS at the devoted head OF the
Portland Herald. Its words in
favor Of Mn. Holiday have set the
teeth of some of its Democratic CO.
temporaries on edge, and in much
ill-temper, not unmised with pain,
they give expression to alternate
words Of anger and feeble complaint
not unlike the utterances Of those
who's varying moods ofpassion, gain
for them the name of feeble minded,
or demented. It has heretofore been
regarded as the leading Democratic
organ in'the State. 1t was SO while
Col. Taylor was the editor, and
since Mr.. Newell has occupied that
position no Democratic journal, so
far as we have noticed, has denied
its leadership. Now is the first
time within our knowledge, that
any very serious combined opposi-
ton has been brought against it as
leader. The Oregon City Enter
prise, however, in tSiufamed desire
to justify the integrity aud consist
ency Of Oregon Democracy, now
says that "the Herald was :he first,
and only Democratic paper in Ore
gon which upheld and endorsed the
infamous Passive Policy" which
resulted so disastrously to the party;
that sit was the organ Of the clique
which Dolly Vardenized Multno-
NAH county, last June," causing
the Democracy to lose the State,
etc. Now it will be remembered
that Col Taylor was editor at that
time. It will also be remembered
that the course of the Herald, rela-
tive to the Passive Policy, was
subsequently endorsed by Demo-
cratic journals throughout the
State. II, as the Enterprise says,
the Herald "has never been in
harmony with the Democracy Of
our State since it fell into the hands
of the present owners" why have
they followed its lead? Why does
the Albany Democrat say, that
"since the retirement of Col. Taylor
from the editorial management Of
the Herald it has rapidly lost caste
among the people," i" if what the En-
teyprise says is true? 1t was under
the direction OF Col. Taylor that
the "Passive Policy" the "Dolly
Vardenism," that the Enterprise
so bitterly condemns, was inaugu-
rated. He vas the cause of all the
woes ofdeteat which have distracted
the counsels and wrought havoc in
the camp of Democracy, according
to the Enterprise, while the Dem-
Ocrdt thinks the contrary. 1t
thinks matters were all right, while
Taylor was in charge. Newell is
the sole offender in the view Of the
Democrat, and bis "selling out"
as that journal has it, to Holiday,
is bis offense. Herein is revealed
the weakness Of Democracy. With
out established principles, they de-
pend upon their leaders forguidance.
The Herald "sells out" and like a
flock Of sheep which has lost its
bell-wether, the rest fly in any
direction, or every direction, or no
direction, bleatiDg and baaing and
frisking about in a state Of utter be-
wilderment. One says this thing
and Another right the opposite, and
their Democraticreaders try to take
it ali down. The Herald, in the
meantime, is not idle, but comBats
them vigorously, saying in effect

Crosby bet is ultimately settled. The

Colonel Abe Curry came up this morn

the question of whether the water from
the Sierra Nevada mountains did "ac-
tually and not eonstructively reach
this city week before last. The Colonel
wagered $3.50 with Dennis Crosby (the
cometiian), of Breed 4 Crosby, that the
water would not reach Virginia within
the week ending August 81, and claimed
that the water only reached Bullion Ra
vine on the 1st instant, the ravine being

APPorSTMESTs.-We understand that
the Sheriff, under the new ordinance
published to-day, has appointed as his
assistants Messrs. Stern and Newhouse:
the latter late Captain of the Prison
Guard. Those who know say they are
the very men for the place. The Sheriff.
as We learn later, has not really made
any appointments. He has merely con-
tinued the two night watclmen above
named, at their old work; the only diff
ference being that now they are paid, as
per ordinance, by the city, whereas
formerly the merchants used to pay
them by contribution.

No HUMBUG-A man came in last night
to tell us for the sake of an item, that
what was published in the APPEAL about
month ago concerning the excitement
over the new mines discovered on Dia-
mond Hill near Susanville, is no blow
but all true, as is confirmed by letter
to him from Mr.. Beach. who is at
work in the mines in question. Accord
ing to Beech s letter the camp is lively:
people are coming in daily. Many
houses have been built and others are
being built. The prospects are fine for
the precious metal and everything prom
Uses well. Heavy boulders are encoun-
tered, however, and the ore is hard to
get at.
