FROM CALIFORNIA.

We were pleased on Monday last
to encounter Mr.. John Lillis, who has
been absent on the "golden slope"
during the past three or four months.
He made thorough exploration
up and down the Pacific coast, sever
al hundred miles, intending to locate
in that vacinity if things PANIED out
to suit him. q
But they didn't.
He says the worst and most unmit-
igated fraud about the whole business
is the climate. No man with the
slightest predisposition to rheumatism
can live there. This seems to be the
prevailing opinion Of all those with
whom we have conversed. /
John says business is lively in San
| Francisco, and there is an immense
amount of building going on; but the
trouble is that there are hundred
men watching for a job where there
is one to be done.
He says he has concluded that
Saltwater is good enough for him.
But he doesn't regret the trip, for he
has had the California fever for long
time, and nothing would thoroughly
satisfy him excepting observations
taken on the spot.-StilZ,uoter Gazette,

A CITY DESTROYED.

BY a terrible storm on the 7th the
beautiful city of Geneva, Switzerland,
was almost wrecked. A few drops of
rain fell in the evening, but it was
midnight before the storm burst upon
the place, sweeping from the Jura
range, and then it lasted scarcely ten
minutes. 1t came in the shape of an
almost compact mass or sheet of ice,
driven horizontally before the tempest
blast. In the first instant every gas
lamp in the streets, save here and
there one spared by reason Of some
protecting roof, was smashed to atoms
and extinguished; but the city was
not in darkness, for the masses Of CO.
adjulated hail reflected the blue light
of the lightning in a CHASTITY and ON
inous manner. Wooden plank were
pierced by holes such as might have
been made by a musket ball. Geneva
was wrecked, it is said, las no army
Of besiegers could have wrecked it in
the same length Of time" The many
pleasure gerdens, vineyards and mar
ket gardens in the vicinity have been
destroyed as if a charge of cavalry
had passedover them, involving the
ruin and despair of the poor and in
dustrious peasants whose all is now
taken from them as efectually as if
it had been sunk in the bottom of the
sea.

The absence of backbone in the

in protest against the rag-money man.
ia in Ohio are now saying that plat
forms don't mean much any way, and
if Gov Allen is elected on an inAa-
ton platform it will not have any in
fluence on National politics. They
have suddenly become enamored of
the cry, "Men, not Principles" and
are shouting it right Justify. They
will find out when the next Presiden-

sooner, that the people are determin-
ed to have both Principles and Men,

either Of these requisites will be set

GOV. DAVIS'S POSITION,

The Glencoe Register publish hes the
following extract from a private lv'
ter addressed by Governor Davis to ii
gentleman in Mcleod county, who,
after the Governors declination to
allow his name to be presented for a
denomination, had written, asking
him what was to be done:
*"You ask what we shall do
The Republican party will doubtless nomi-
nate for my successor some gentleman of
ability, experience and character. I in
tend to support that mai, whoever he is.
l shall not allow the fact whether he voted
for Mr. Ramsey or me for Senator to weigh
with me for one moment. The policy
which would identify the party with the
personal fortunes of any one man, is mis-
cradle and destructive piece of sel6shness,
and will get no countenance from me or
any one whom l can control. So make up
your mind who is the best man, and pro-
mote his nomination and election with
your customary zeal and independence.
