ADJOINING NATURE.
The AbOminat4e Expedition that IS to
start Saest This Week.

The New York advertising sign comp:l-
ny is preparing trans-continental sign
board painting expedition to traverse the
country from New York city to California
by way of the Rocky Mountains, for the
purpose OF erecting and painting signs OH
the plains. mountains. fences and railroad
tracks on the route. The party will num-
ber ten men. under the charge of Mr.. kis-
sem, all practical painters. apd will leave
New York on Monday. to te absent six
months. They take with them all the
material requisite for their work and con-
tracts for proclaiming the merit of patent
medicines. tobaccos and dry goods from
hill top and dale, from every farm, ranch
and stage station i'm the Far West to the
very gates of the Pacific. They expect to
come in contact with local advertising
agents in many places, but armed with
their contracts and powerful in numbers.
they profess to have no fear of the result.
AS to the Indians, Mr.. Allen says that if
they come across any they hope to make
them valuable allies in carrying their adj
vertising war into mountain f;istness never
yet penetrated by white man.
This is the first expedition of the kind
ever started, and if it proves successful, ii
is proposed to have an annual siSn-board
advertising tour throughout the country.
As one of the company said, there is no
law against detacing natural scenery out
side of New York State. so the whole
bOundless continent is ours, and there's
millions in it,
Besides Il guide and designing artist,
who are to go on ahead, there will be two
patent brass canvassers. and all will be
armed to secure themselves from violence
In some places. where they are required
lH The contracts to visit. there ale no rail
i ads or stages, and it will be necessary to
do great deal Of travelling on foot and on
horseback to reach them.
The expedition will go out on one route
and return on another, so as to cover the
greatest possible space. and by winter it is
expected that there will not be an eligible
mountain peak or prairie lot from Maine
to the Pacific that will not proclaim the
virtues of some nOstrum or the value of
some merchantable article. - Nev York

The HrlxbaDl lonnan,

By JOHN @. WHITTIER.
Give fools their gold, and knaves their power
Let fortunes bubble rise and fall;
Who sOws a field or trains flower,
Or plants Il tree, is more than all.
For he who blcsses most Is hlcst;
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave Ut his bcquest
An added beauty to the earth
And, soon or late, to all that sow,
The time of harvest shall be given;
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall grow
If not on carh, at least in heaven.
Do Your Best.
The heart and mind of man and man
Must differ, it is true,
And So the deed our neighbor uoGs
Perchance we ne 'er could do;
And thus, in climbing fortunes height
TO reach The fare IN store,
Ifpeople only do their best,
The world will ask no more
Does then the little humming bird
II, tender song for.ake,
Because the nightingale : sweet voice
May softer music make?
Or does the tiny, twinkling star,
Which lends to earth its light,
Repine because some kindred orb
May chance to burn more bright?
And so :hro' life We find that some
Are clad in praise and fame,
While others meekly plod along,
With naught to gild their name;
But when each life is reckon d up,
Its doings counted o'er
If we can say, ~ did my best, -
Our God will ask no more
-Ne,c O,ltc'ns Timts.

a LITTLE TALK TO LITTLE Boys
Boys, it is an old saying that " the child
is father to the man." 1t is not Il great
while since we read a story of a condemn
ed murderer who acknowledged that the
many cruel deeds ofwhch he was guilty,
grew out OF the practices Of cruelty he
had INDUCED in when boy. Torturing
birds aud animals MS n child he grew up
to think nothing Of human life or human
suffering when he became man. In
this country little boys have another class
OF animals to impose upon, called China
men. We are sorry to say that there are
some boys who impose upon Chinamen
in II manner they would not dare to with
white people, and no doubt think it very
smart. For instance, we are told that
little boys go from the school house to
Nc. Ciitfnrd's orchard after fruit. II
they have Mr.. Ciitlold's permission there
Is nothing wrong in this. but it is wrong
fer the boys To pull the pickets off the
fence of the Chinaman's lot by which
they pass. The Chinaman bought that
lot and gave good price for it too, and
it is as wrong to irjurc his property as it
Is To injure property belonging to my
body. Some day the parents of these
boys may be brought into Court and
made to pay roundly for the mischief
their boys have done. The Chinaman
has just rs much right to have his prop
ertv protected ITS your parents have.
But it is not this mere matter of dam
age that can be recovered by law that
interests You and your parents. Yol are
laying the foundation OF principles which
VIII be sure To bring you into future trou-
bic. This week We have read OF boy
fourteen years OF age who, without my
justification whatever Shot Chnaman
with pistol. The only reason he seems
u have had for doing it was that it was "A
.Chinaman. There were number OF
boys together when it was done, and now
the boy who did the shooting, with his
brother, is in Jail, waiting 10 see whether
the Chinaman viii die or not No doubt
this boy commenced his career which has
so nearly ended in murder, by doing
something to annoy the ChinamAn. And
If he is permitted to 60 at large he will
end his life either in prison or on the seat.
fold. For what comes easy TO do to Chi
namcn now, will come easy to do to any
body after awhile.
And another thing, little boys China,
men do not atwayS stand abuse with pa
thence. We often read OF times when
they twn upon their tolmenlors and
safe to torment them, and it is ncUer
right.

The ELECTI0N.-Although there was
little else than county officers To be elect

S pnn at the precincts ARE long distance

elected Sheriff, and Miss Wad,eigh Su-

majority with Cinnabar, Indian Creek,
Hetten>haw, Long Ridge, Cox Bar,
Martinville, Hoboken, 2attlesnake and

TnE LEGISLATIVE TICKET For the
State Senate Steele seems to have been
generally supported by the Republicans,
except at Trinity Center. He is the only
candidate that affords any test of party
strength, rs the candidates for other Of
lices on both tickets were scratched !"
numerically. DR.. Montague made A
splendid run in this county, and even if
beaten in the district may feel proud of
the way his neighbors rallied to his sup
port. Ii the Republicans had had can
d'date of their own party the Doctor
Would not have received, or expected
such support for the position he was
seeking, as men vote their party princi-
pies for legislative office, bat as between
two Democrats many Republicans gave
their support to their neighbor. In Shus-
Ia klotz runs far ahead OF Steele, and it
Will be sometime before we can know to
certainty who will be our next repre-
sentative. Evidently both men are
thought well OF ut home. 1t must be
borne in mind that Eastern Shasta is
where the Democratic strength OF that
county lays, and there is also the home
Of kotz. The Shasta Republicans are
making gallant fight for their county
ticket this year, and their endorsement OF
X OTIS candidacy has strengthened them
IN the fight. In return it seems that the
Shasta Republicans are generally suL-
porting klot2. The Senatorial District
is strongly Democratic each OF the four
counties having given minority for Til
dAn last year, Si>Iiiynu and Modoc large
ones, 80 we hardly dare hope that Steele
will be elected, but il he makes the race
IN the ,wo counties we have named us
we'll a. his friends claim, receiving at the
same time the general Republican sup
port OF this county and Shasta, he may
win.
Our present figures show that DR.. Mon
tnguo has majority OF lS9, to which we
think ten should be added for Georges
precinct where the vote on Senator is re-
tIrncd a. % and 2S, and for Assembly,
man 23 to %. 1t is probable that this
majority will be largely increased by the
vot4 yet to come in. Ga the other hand
K.otz nas gain d fifteen on the vote Of
Steele in the five Shasta precincts heard
from. These precincts are in the Repub-
lican portion OF the county, leaving the
strong Democra,ic precincts of Eastern
Shasta yet to be head from. Klotz ma
jority in thcse five precincts is only %.
The balance OF the precincts OF Western
Shasta are strongly Republican but the
vote is not very heavy. 10 have hope Of
success Klotz must MAKE heavy inroadS
into the Dem lcratic ranks Mt MIllviIle,
Fort Crook, Shing etown and other pa.
ceS, and the chances are that he will do
so. Bnt we think the heavy majority
Montague will leave this county with can
hardly be overcome by any gains Kutz
can make.

The VOTE IN WEAvERVILLE.-T
vote in this place was fully up 10 the an
ticipated figure, 2O6 votes having been
poiled. Although the turnout was very
general there was very little excitement,
and very little electioneering. Most of
the work " had apparently been done
in advance. The saloons were all closed
throughout the day, but we think that if
any intelligent voter felt little thirsty
the means OF as>uaging it were close Mt

precinct failed to exercise his right, so far
