From the san"na Co: {Ca'.> Flag ~-as>,'-
California is not invariably 4 good
country for poor man. We Cannot hon.
essly recommend any one to come to this
state, unless he has friends here that will
help him into business, or unless he has
some capital. Hundreds of the incoming
e,nigrants will bitterly rue the decision
that made them cell their little home
stcads and cross the plains, landing in
the promised land with their scanty
means nearly exhausted. They will earn
estly long for the fesh-pots Of Egypt, and
! their complaint will be better founded
! than was that of the ancient Israelites.
In many cases starvation will loom up a.
| u possibility.
If 4 man comes here to build a manu-.
factory Of some kind, or to till the soil,
and has money to start his enterprise and
| to support himself, he will he the right
man in the right place; but if he comes
without means expecting to earn his liv.
ing from the start by finding ready mar.
ket for his labor, skilled or unskilled, he
is very liable to be disappointed.

Among the names mentioned in
connection with the u. 5. Julgeship
to ill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Hon. James H. Howe
is that of Gen. .Halbert II. Paine.
If the powers that be would take
our word for it, no other name
would be necessary. The General
possesses all the qualifications as to
ability and integrity, and his APP
polntlnent would be eminenty sat
isfactory to thousands of his friends
in the State. This statement is no
disparagement OF the claims Of sew
eral other gentlemen suggested.
The resignation Of Judge Howe is
much to be regretted, as he had in
Il very short time made his mark,
and Justified his appointment, While
disappointing the fears OF few who
thought his former connection with
railroad company would warp his
mind and bias his Judgment He
will leave the bench with the conf
dence of the bar and the admiration

.1NNOUNCEMENT.

To those who have so kindly pat
roniZed the TRIBUNE we send our
paper for rs, hoping that it will
meet their expectations as local
and family paper. 1t shall be our
purpose t. set forth those matters
concerning our own vicinity, that
will most interest our readers; and
if in any case we fail in this, or in
dulge in personalities to the slightest
injury of any one, we shall be, by
mistake, deviating from a principle
that we love and honor. 1t will
also be our duty to inform our
readers concerning the actions and
course of those men who represent
their own locality, and whom the
people, by their vote, have raised
to Offices OF trust. Our remaining
space will then be devoted to pub
fishing the most important matters
occurring abroad, which, in our
Judgment, will reach our readers
through no other channel.
Although aware of the democrat
izing tendancy that editorial changes
generally have upon paper, we
trust that in the case of ourselves the
future may be as bright as the
past, and that however long we may
occupy our present position, the
paper will maintain the standing
which it has already reached.

The Spanish Republic, that for
nearly two years tottered in its i'll
FAINT progress, has now fallen, and
the country has again come under
the sway Of royalty.
Queen Isabella, the Wicked, in
June. 1870, renowned the throne of
Spain in favor of her second child
Alfonso. In July of the same year
the Crown was offered by the Re-
gency to Prince Leopard, which,
being opposed 10y France, brought
on the way with Prussia. In No
vember the Crown was given Il
Amadeus. second son OF Victor
Emanuel o. Italy, who was crowned
and abdicatcd early III 1873. Since
then there has been Republic in
name, but the Spanish people know
moth ~ of the principles Of Repub.
licau SIN, and the time has evidently
not yet come when Spain can throw
off the rule of monarchy, and trus
TO government Of the people. :

The widest excitement followed, and
in vain did the Republicans assert
their rights before the aid OF the

with little difficulty restored order.

manner prescribed by law. The
Democrats showed great lack of

Anacreon, who lived nearly three

cloud of superstition overhung the
world, is the author of the following
beautiful poem, that many doteo
lover has tried in vain to initiate:
Twas at The solemn midnight hour,
When silence reigned with awful power,
Just when the bright and gitlering Bear
Is yielding to her keepers care;
When spent with toll, with cares oppressed
Mans busy ruce has sunk to rest,
Sly Cupid, sent by cruel fate,
Stood loudly knocking at my gate.
''Who's there" | cried "at this late hour
Who is it batters thus my doorg
Be gone you break my blissfnl dreams"
But he, on mischief bent. it seems
With feeble voice and piteous cries,
In childish accents thus replies:
'Be not alarmed, kind sir, it's |,
lit e wrctched, wandering boy.
fray ope the door, We iOst my way,
This moonlight night--alone stray.
I'm stiff with cold, I'm drenched all DER
For PHYS sake pray ope the door"
Touched by this simple tale OF woe,
And little dreaming of a foe,
ros", lit up m, lamp, and straight
Undid the fastenngs of my gate;
nd thuro INLAND "A how I spip1
With bow and culver by his side.
Wings too he wore-a strange attire
My guest seated near the fire.
And while the blazing fagots shine,
| chafcd his little hands in mine
His dark and dripping locks wrung,
Tha, down his sholders loosely hung.
Soon as hi, checks began to glow,
"Come now" said he lets try this bow;
For much fear, this RAINY night,
The wet and damp have spoiled it quite"
I hat instant twanged The sounding string,
Loud as the viking gndhy's wing
Too truly aimed, the fatal dart
My bosom pierced with fatal smart.
Up sprang the boy with laughing eyes,
And "wish me joy mine host" he cries,
my bow is sound IN every part,
Tou'lt find the arrow in thy heart"
