and expressed the very sensible opinion
that Ii we desire the company OF good
spirits we must lead good lives our
selves.
A young man, neatly attired in even
ing costume, slowly advanced upon the
platform, lifted his right arm, and point
ed toward a certain lady, thereby indi-
eating that she was u near relative. She
eagerly inquired, sIs it Columbusr'
The spectre politely bowed, a la Don
Giovanni, and three raps were heard in
the cabinet.
Last of all came the figure of an ener-
getic man, called Brown, who often acts
as master OF ceremonies among the
Eddy band of spirits. He advanced with
confidence to the railing in front of the
stage, and spoke with a natural voice,
announcing that nothing more could be
done that evening, and thanking US for
our kind attention.
After his disappearance, William
Eddy came out OF the cabinet in a
state of exhaustion, and the seance
closed. Several PERSONS, including your
"spirit wOrk-room," without finding an
IeXplanation of the phenomena. Ii the
whole affair Is q base deception, the
principal performers are certainly most
accomplished jugglers. II, on the other
hand, the apparltions are what they rep
resent themselves to be, the world has
reason TO watch with interest, for further
and less doubtful developments. Ii the
Eddy Brothers are honest, they should
no longer refuse the closest scrutiny
Their present course inevitably arouses
the suspicion and opposition OF modern
ISadducees.

Corporeal Characteristics Of Cali ornia.

This brings me to speak of the phys
ical features of the American resident
on the Pacific coast as compared with
those OF the Atlantic States. 1 have
been watching with some interest the
effects of climate, soil and surroundings
upon the immigrants and their descend
ants. The difference is not very great
or it would have been more remarked,
but am satisfied there is quite change
in the physique Of both men, women and
children after some years immersion in
this environment.
The men and women become more
lfeshy, with q tendency to obesity, and
the children, besides being of larger
limbs and frames, nave unusual amounts
OF adipose aecretions on their neither
flimbs. Their feet are larger; unless, in
ldeed, this be an effect produced by the
| universal practice OF squeezing the feet
OF all ages into miserable, illshaped and
contracted shoes. The men are prone to
be bald-he AIDED, while the women, on the
other hand, though they luxuriate in
more hair than at the East, by some
malign influence lose tnat soft and
peariy texture of the skin.
| There are few consumptives, which
may possibly arise from the greater
amount of outdoor exercise and sun
oHiuC CuyoyC yCus DIoCdoCS VI buO uCi VSo
are more common than those of the ex-
crement organs and digestive viscera,
which, fancy, arises i'll part, from a
free use of stimulants, condiments, and
spices, as we'll as large proportion of
animal food. The beef and mutton here
are good, and can be Kept out doors
witnout becoming tainted, Tor days. The
drinking habits Of California are pro-
v0kingly in excess of the healthy sys-
TEN; and to the excessive use Of spirit
dous drinks, such as whisky and brandy
must be laid most of the nervous disor'
tders of the people. ..
Altogether, it must be said that this
coast, as a habitation, is favorable to
the American and European. The men
| flush up and improve in their persons,
aud are inspired with a new vigor to
work and enjoy creature comforts. BY
reason of this extra stimulation draw
from food or air, they work OH up to the
end and die suddenly. The number OF
| sudden deaths is something wonderful
| Tue climate is the cause usually as.
signed for this as we'll as abundant other
misfortuHes; but a more thorough scru-
tiny would, l tlIink, reveal some more
| manageable cause. The Chinese, for in
stance, SO long as they cling to their &C.
custOmed food, evlnce no such tenden-
cies as the Americans, the climate being
| the same for them. Nevertheless, Ma.
| ture asserts herself everywhere, and
judging from the rising generation, Cali
| fornla will yet produce the finest men
and women on the cOntinent.-C0r.B Bos-
ton Traveller.

THERE seems to be no longer any
reason to doubt that gold has been
discovered in the Black Hills in pay
ing quantities, that is, quantities
which can be made to pay handsome
ly after a large amount of capital
shall have been expended in dam
ming the streams and erecting saw.
mills, sideways, reservoirs, etc. In
dividual miners, however, excepting
as employed by capitalists, will fare
but poorly in the Black Hills. and
even if the fields we're now free Of OBJ
structions, there would be no induce.
ment at present for fortune-hunters to
make general rush for that region.
It appears definitely certain that
the large force of troops under Gen
Crook will be employed to drive out
the miners now in, the Hills, and
whose presence constitutes serious
obstacle in the way of'the successful
conclusion Of negotiations now pend
ing for the ,acquir ement Of the reser:

In a communication dated August
18th Mr.. Gilman places in the hands
Of Gov. W. r. Marshall, Chairman
Of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, his resignation, md on the
following day Gov. Marshall writes
that the matter will be submitted to
the State Central Committee at a
full meeting to be held August 25th.
We are grati6ed that the matter
has had this issue, and that harmony
may be restored to the Republican
party by. the presentation of a State
ticket acceptable throughout. The
continued candidacy of Mr.. Gilman
would have caused a serious division
in the party and an unpleasant con-
test-specially unpleasant in its local
features-which would undoubtedly
have resulted in his defeat. The
JOURNAL felt it to be its duty to take
a decided stand in opposition to the
election of Mr.. Gilman; statement
Of the reasons for which opposition.
was withheld until the question ofel.
igibility should be submitted to the
Attorney General and his opinion,
made known. We are glad to be re-
ieved of the necessity Of pressing the
matter further, and trust that the
State Central Committee will make a
nomination which shall command the
united support Of the party. +. !, t. j
