THE IyREASE OF HIGHWAY
ROBBERY.

The frequency with which we hear that
the stage coach on some route leading to
the mines has been stopped by highway
men, the treasure box taken and the pas
sengers compelled to surrender their mon
ey and valuables, is becoming matter
worthy of grave consideration. Scarcely
week passes by but the story comes to
US from some quarter--now on one route
and then on another-that the stage has
been robbed. This. week we have two
cases one on the route between jackson
and lone City the other on route fur
ther South. The success attending these
attacks is such as to encourage others to
the nefarious business, the treasure-box
Of Wells, Fargo 81 Co. generally giving
the robbers pretty fair dividend, while
the difficulty Of capturing and convcting
/ the robbers makes the business an appar-
emily safe one.
One thing is becoming evident f; stern
er punishment and greater certainty OF
capture must menace the " knights Of the
road" The next legislature should put
the crime Of highway robbery on paI
with the crime Of murder, for the armed
robber who stops stage filed with pas
engers, does SO with the intention Of com.
mitting murder if opposed in his de-
signs, Old hands at the business &c
about it coolly, knowing that by taking
everybody by surprise it gives them al
advantage over superior numbers f; tha
they, to use common expression, "hav'
the say" on those whom they intend tC
rob. That they go with the intention o
committing both robbery and murder j
necessary to the accomplishment Of thei
purpose, is proved by the manner il
which they have acted iu those few in
stances when the stage escapes tnem.-
The driver becomes the target Of thei
weapons, with serious results at times
Generally the robbery is committed at
point OF the road where any attempt t,
escape would be useless, and where there
is no alternative but to submit to the de
mands Of The robbers, backed as they are
by drawn shot guns and revolvers.
Ii few Of the robbers are caught anC
severely punished it will have marked
preventive effect on this character o
crime. The matter is worthy of State
interference in the shape Of large reward.
which would stimulate the whole detect
i've force Of the State to action. As il
now stands there is scarcely II stage line
in the State over which travel can b'
said to be safe, or which is not evidently
watched for the chance to make gooC
haul. The evil is growing and bids fair
il something is not done to assume pro
portions which will be felt by the entir
community which has express bus
mess to transact, or travelling TO do.

CoNvIcTED.-Justiee will Mt times
strike for the villains in high places, rs
we'll as the moro humble ones. After the
many delays and two trials, John D.
Marks, the deiaulting Harbor Commits
sioner, is convicted OF embezziement and
sentenced to San Quentin. The convic-
ton of this ex-oiiical naturally raises the
hope that in the future the public offices
will be held sacred to some other purpose
than that of enricbing the holders at the
expense Of the public; that men holding
places Of trust will behave honorably from
fear if not from principle. There is a
goody representation Of ex officials at
San Quentin now, with a strong probabl-
ity Of their being reinforced from the San
Francisco Tax Collectors office soon.

THE Cb o,HcLe suggests John Bidwell
of Butte county, as a good candidate for
Governor to unite the factions OF the Re
publicans. In 1867, Bdwel was the
choice Of the Republicans without doubt,
but his pomposity defeated him for the
nomination. Delegates TO the convention
could not get to his august presence, ex-
cept by sending up their cards by little
darkey, and came away disgusted with
such snobbishness. The State was lost to
the Republicans through the concei.ed
stupidity Of this same John BidweIl and
we don't care to lesurrect any such fossils
now.

The growth and structure ofthe human hair
is very plainly set forth in a pamphlet pub
lshed by r. p. Hall & Co., Nashua, \. H.,
proprictors of Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair
Remover, for gratuitous distribution. The
deservedly high reputation Of their prepara-
ton has wholly been gained by its merits.
Being free from oil and alcohol, it has healthy
action on the scalp, restores gray hair to its
natural color without dyeing it, cures itching
and will thicken up the thin locks. Such are
the benefits which are conferred upon the con-
sumer. Noone should neglect to give it a trial.

BREATHE THROUGH THE NosE.--
A fact which cannot be too frequent
'ly> impressed upon the mind, says
the Science Of Health, is that the
pernicious habit of breathing through
the mouth while sleeping or wal king
is very hurtful. Many persons sleep
with their months wide open and do
not know it. They may go to sleep
with it closed, but if the mouth is
parched and dry on waking it is a
sign it has been open during sleep.
Snoring is another sure sign. 1t
should befovercome. At all times,
except when eating, drinking or
speaking, keep the mouth firmly
closed, and breathe through the nos
trils, and retire with firm deter
mination to conquer, and you will.
The nostrils are the proper breath
ing apparatus-not the mouth.
