have nothing to say, except they
wish there was some decent way in
which they might enjoy it. Pedes
trianism, though wholesome, berg
fatiguing, and the want Of means
for the enjoyment of horse flesh is
the general cry of large portion
of the only would-be wealthy.
Apropos of that, we are to have a
horse palace, to cost in the neigh
borhood of fifty thousand dollars.
Somebody has started that notion,
and there will be fools enough prob
ably to follow. All for the good of
the community, for the architecture
al adOrnment of the city, and for
display in general.
There is nothing, of course, we
should do so much for as horses.
They take the place of offspring TO
many OF our millionaires; and if
offspring should not be taken care
of, pray who should?
There is no doubt a good deal to
be done in stocks just now, if any
body only knew how to do it,; but
to tell the truth, only few do
know. The safest way is to let
them alone; but as that is not ac-
cording to "natur," or at least CAL
ifornia "natur,n' it is quite impos-
sible to do so. They are very
enticing. One would think, from
the way they 60 up one day, and
down the next, that everything was
moving, minerally speaking, and
that the metals were playing "bo-
peep" with humanity; but the prob
ability is, somebody representing
mineral, most likely the inventive
genius of the managers, give little
start now and again IN the way of
good news, through cross cuts,
drifts, ETC., which help people won
derfully, till they reflect that all is
not gold that glitters, and that
mining managers have little mine
of their own to work to their own
advantage. Seriously. what has got
into the mines? They pay as well
as they did month ago. vet nobody
seems to want them, or at least so
little of them as to make poor
markets.

Dupont street a few days since.
They were respectfully treated, and
no doubt felt that the Kingdom of
Heaven had come to some ex-
tent. But the question is, if
these unfortunates experience re-
ligion, as they term it, if they
become converted and prepared
to enter the Kingdom of Heaven,
what is to become of them? Nobody
Will entertain these guests of Satan,
no matter how much they may wish
to leave the Internal regions and as
cend to higher states. No man ever
falls so low as woman, consequent-
ly men may be raised up-but not
woman. Surprising the Reverend
gentlemen look at this side of the
question, find honorable employ
ment and social good treatment for
these Outcasts, as well as conversion,
and there is nothing to be said; but
till they can, the Christs among the
Christians are too rare to be very
useful IN this way as penitent Mag

Gods praises, are plenty enough;
but when it comes to the money
bags, and the uses to which their
money bags can be put, it ends in
church building, money for the mis-
sionaries, and good large salaries,
that the pastors families may have
no temptation to other than the love
of Jesus. But when asked to love
Jesus with an empty stomach, and
the worlds flat refusal to permit
them to live Christian lives in pur-
suit of this great truth, 1t is wanting
in all that is helpful, and must end
where it is; and yet God speed, if
the thing is possible-if their COM
pulsory lite ofevil does not shut out
all hope of Heaven may the thing 60
on.
The Ne1cs Letter is in for libel
suit. Bully for the n eacS Letter! say
the boys; and bully for the doctors
say we. Is not it fine thing now
for learned Doctor, arriving from
the East, to be compelled to step into
Marriott's office and ask permission
to practice, by showing a diploma?
Otherwise, whether he has one or
not, +" mol" and his name Is pub

We know of one of the most scien-
tific physicians in the city, whose
name is known in Paris, New York
as well as here, with whom some of
our leading physicians at present in
this city pursued in Paris their
studies, whose name appears regu-
larly among those of the quacks, )"
simply because he does not recog-
nize the rights of the Ne,cs Letter to
demand his passport to their favor;
and we say that any physician who
submits to such inquisition, from
such authority, deserves to be snub-

show them, one and all, his author
