COntentment Under Difficulties.
From the Stanislaus Times, January 22d

From the Stanislaus Times, January 22d. ]
During the flood, last Tuesday, three
Cinnamon were discovered passing
down the river astride of log. A
short distance ahead of them was dis
covered small boat, drifting at will
of the current and without occupants.
A bystander on the bank, who chanced
to be one of our sturdy farmers, was
thinking of the best means of rescuing
these Children of the Sun, when one
of the number, as if interpreting his
intention cried out, "Belly good, John;
me catchee by'n-by ~ at the same
time pointing to the boat. The swift
current soon carried them out of
sight, and we have not been enabled
to learn whether the contented Johns
overhauled the small boat, or whether
their bodies became bait for fish. Still
it is about as hard to drown u China
man as duck, and the probability is
that the Johns are luxuriating in
some village of their countrymen, and
laughing at the interest manifested
by the "Melican man" in their be-
half.

SHUMAKER, to whom IRWIN, of Pa
cific Mail notoriety, says he paid
$l25, 900, has the most treacherous
memory of any man in the world.
He says he supposes he must have re-
ceived the money, but he has not the
slightest recollection Of having done
50. The money was paid at differen,
times, in two $4,000 checks and one
payment of $4,000. Yet SHUMAKER
cannot remember having received
this large sum. We should like to try
our memory OH amounts of those di-

Hon. Gso.oE C. GoxHAn made .

Hos. GsoIoE C. GozHAM made .
speech to the Sacramento Republicans
on Saturday night. The telegraph.
which does the bidding Of Simonton.
Fitch 4 Co.. says his audience was .
small ono. Perhaps this is true; like rs
not it is lie. At any rate we may feel
assured that when Gorham. Sargent or
Phelps speak in Sacramento all the rail-
road employees will stay away. as per
orders from headquarters. and that the
Dcllies will play ostrich and hide their
abraided heads. 1t is probable. how
ever, that Mr.. Gorham will find audi
ences enough in California during the
campaign. His are not the kind Of
speeches to be ignored. By the way.
this beiittling Of Gorham's Sacramento
speech reminds us of a lie that the
Bulletin told on him in the campaign of
1867. That paper published dispatch
from Shasta stating the particulars OF a
grand failure of a Gorham meeting
there. Following the dispatch were ed
itorial comments and an elaboration of
the story Of Mr. Gorham' s cold reception
by the Shasta people. The next day the
Times quietly stated the fact in answer
to the Bulletin that Mr.. Gorham had not
been any nearer Shastn than Red Bluff,
fifty or sixty miles distant from that
place. So that it is likely to turn out
true thnt the Sacramento meeting was q
large and enthusiastic one. Anyhow the
speech was good one-we'll bet on that.
