EDITOR HERALD: AS yours is the most In
dependent paper published in Southern
California, take the liberty of asking you
question which trust you will answer. Why
is II that the Federal ofiice-hOlders of this
county stand aloof from the party and show
q disposition TO affiliate with one or the other
OF the two parties that are opposed to the adj
ministration under which they hold their APP
pointments? Do these gentlemen propose to
which they live: II in its days of adversty
the Democratic party had been made up of
such men 1t would have ceased to exist.
Those men who stood by Republican Princi-
pies during the infancy of the party were diff
ferent Republicans from those who now man
ifest disposition to break up that organiza-
tlon by acting with the enemies of the Adj
ministration. 3 4 NJ - REPUBLICAN.

This Being great fnd high.
This namo majestic sounding through the earth,
Who thought this thought, gave this conception
birth
Beneath the vaulted sky?
who dreamed this wondrous dream
Of One that binds the worlds about his throne
And c ,ius dominion for Himself alone,
Farther than light can gleams
Hiding in realms of air,
Making the unknown heavens his shining home,
Or down tn abyss deeper than thought can roam
Moving in mystery there.
Who gave this Being BIRTH
Who, by his searching, found out such tiod
And sent the marvellous story far abroad
Over our fallen earth2
The deep and stormy sea
Rolling forever ON its restless track
From its mysterious caverns thunders back.
This thought came not from me ~
Old empires in their might,
With kings in far succession ON their thrones,
Bowed do n, in awe, to scnsecss stocks ant
stones
In one long pagan night.
Egypt, with all her lore,
Lifting her ponderous pillars TO the sky,
Bent to the OK in low stupidity,
Worshipped, and knew no more.
Beneath the eastern sun,
Where Tigris hastes to join her sister stream,
Assvria sat- and dreamed her mighty dream
Till her long race was run.
But not in all her thought,
Did God, the unseen Spirit, find place;
Nebo and Bel and all their hideous race
Were the poor gods she sought.
Tyre with her whte-winged fleets
Nestled IN beauty by the Central Sea.
Where snowy Hermon, rising grand and free,
Looked on her busy streets;
Worshipped the queen of night,
The foul Astarte with her rites profane
Or crouched beneath old Moloch's bloody reign,
And fed his grim delight.
And Greece, the young and fair
Brightest of nations; with her keen-eyed though t
In all her mystic dreamings vainly sought
This highest thought to share.
Wondering and overawed,
Searching for something which she could It find
she built her altar with bewildered mind,
To Oue-the Unknown God
Lift up your heads, yc gatesl
That God whose power the highest heaven fills
Comes to his temple, built on lions hills,
The King OF Glory waits
Lift up your heads, yc gatesl
And be " Int, ye everlasting doors!
The monarch comes, whom hi CHEST heaven adores
Tue king Of Glory waits
In Judah God was KIN iwn:
While the wide earth lay wrapt in heather night
. er her rough hilis-around fair Sal ,ms hight
heavenly glory shonc.
In Zion was his place;
| With lsfaels marshaled hosts his name was great
lie sat monarch, thsoned in royal state,
Amid his chosen race.
On through the circling years.
While mighty kingdoms hssted to decay,
And the broad lanIs in pagan darkness lay,
Wrapt in their gloomy fears
This light on Zion shone,
1t sparkled in her glancing mountain I.ll-
1t bathed in spendor Judah's rugged hills
And rested there alone;--
Till the set timo was come
| Till the glad angels sang Mcssiah's birth
Then this great name went forth 10 fill tho earth
And made the world its home
Whence did this though, arise
Guide We sophists o'cr its ancient conr-s
Lead US along to find its secret source,

To WHICH CLASS DO You BELoNG
BOYS "A young man was engaged 10 a
very profitable situation in one of our
large c:lies, and VAS highly valued by all
who We're associated with him. No con.
sideratlon would have induced his EN-
ployers Willingly to part with him, yet
there were fully four hundred young men
in the town who would have been happy
TO step into bis shoes The salary was
high Tor such youih, and it WAS also 10
the line of promotion. Many had appli.

Stop minute and let your minds eye

Charles started out to make his for

time. 1t consists in transferring pictures
which have been printed upon paper in
high and beautiful coors to any object
one may wish TO ornament, such as fans,
work boxes, vases, flower pots, articles Of
furniture, &c. When transferred these
pictures look as if painted upon the arti
Gle ornamented. aud they are much NOR,
attractive aud beautiful than they would

beautiful art offers complete substitute

purposes. The pictures embrace great
variety of subjects, such as heads, land.
scapcs. animals, insects. flowers, comic
figures, &c. The art is easily acquired.
and children even soon become experts.
Transferring these pictures is charming
pastime for old OF young, and serves to
cultivate taste for the beautiful. We

A CALIFORNIA GIRL The Atlantic
papers sometimes tell us, says Califor-
MIA paper, of farmers daughter who
raked hay with horse, or drove a mow-
ing mpchine but we think that Califor.
MIA can boast Of as noble girl as any Of
them. A French girl, eighteen years of
age, has handled cord.wood, two trips q
day, Eve miles, averaging a cord and
three.quarters to load, over rocky and
mountainous road with four heavy horses,
nearly every day the past summer. She
is usually the first on the road in the
morning, and frequently the last one at
night, She sits high upon ner spring seat,
with her whip and four lines in her hands
and her foot on the brake, managing her
team with as much ease as any man. Her
voice and appearance are entirely femin.
iue, aud she is of medium size. She is
always accompanied by her father who
lifts tine heavy sticks, but can neither
drive a team or speak much English.
Her well-ftting dark calico dress, her
her calf.skin laced boots, her black, broad
brimmed palm leaf hat, and her long
buckskin gloves, all seem to be well Sc.
lccted and fitted to her business Her
brown hair hangs in two neat braids over
her shoulders. She is usually more or
less dusty, but it can be seen that it is
only the dust of that day. When she
passes through the streets she turns her
eyes neither to the right nor to the left,
and seldom speaks to any one unless she
is spoken to or has business with them.

HATs.-As part of a woman's garb
the new hats are unique, Their proto.
types have existed among mems head GOV.
erings for several seasons. but nothing
quite so eccentric has been seen for wo.
mems use for many day, The modish
hats are of all shades of felt have high
crowns Qike the quondam Alpine hat,
without its dent! and rather wide brims.
1t is in the brims alone that one can be
individual They are turned up before,
behind, on the sides, at the corners
wherever fancy prompts, in short. Vel
vet and reppcd silk, of shades contrasting
with the felt, with short feathers Of all
kinds-ostrch, heron, cock, duck, peacock,
partridge, robin, and every other variety
of wing-form the principle portion OF
the trimming. Inevitably there is an
abundance of jet interspersed, iu the form
Of buckles, pins,s sprays, and fringes. while
blue steel holds its own. But, as jet and
steel are not happily adapted to every
color, there is now and then a surcease Of
them. The brims of these hats are not
wired ; consequently they are SO softly
flexible that while they are turned up on
one side, they can be turned down on the
other producing siugularly "rakish" cf
feet, These hats have in fact too great
a tendency in this direction and require
unusual taste and discretion in their use
The usual gsrniture is binding of velvet
wide or narrow, as preferred piped with
repped silk ) 6nger.wide band, also of vel
vet, round the crown bunch of loop!
OF the combined silk and velvet securing
the brim against the crown-these, il

be used, and the flowers and leaves, i
any are employed, tucked in with thu
rest, forming general conglomerate
Flowers are rather less in favor than us

cause everybody is wearing felt ; and fel
and flowers are naturally incongruous
