to these shores with the delusive expec-
tation Of finding employment plentiful,
and golden ducats lying around loose,
waiting TO be picked up. Arriving here
almost penniless, they find the same old
cry of hard times" they left behind
them, and which they had vainly hoped
to escape. Already the State is overrun
with this class of people, who can find
no employment, and how they subsistis
a mystery.
California has broad acres, and there
is room enough for all who 's'G7 come.--
But unfortunately there are 50 many
large landed propretors, who hold inn
mense tracts of rich and valuable land,
which cannot be purchased for love
nor money, that the prospects of these
emigrants are not the most flattering.-
Large land grants have been California's
curse, and are to-day Our salubrious
climate and unbounded resources are
well enough to boast of, but there must be
something more tangible for incoming
settlers to subsist on.
The day for gold-digging, except in
the deep mines owned by large COM
panies, is nearly past in California, and
those who go thither now, must, to
large extent, become farmers. But il
the land is thus held by large owners,
this can only be By their becoming hired
laborers. How much better to go to a
State like Texas = which has equally
good climate, and is far more promising
as an agricultural State = where land is
to be had in abundancel In the remoter'
regions of Texas emigrants can have a
farm as gift from the Government; in
places more accessible one can be bought
at a low price and on easy terms of pay
ment, from the railroad companies
which are all anxious to sell.

Anecdote of Jackson.

NTHEN Andrew Jackson was young
w an attending court at Rogersville,
Tenn, he lived at hotel famous for its
good cheer. One day, as he sat on the
piazza,a youth came riding along dressed
in the pink of fashion, his eyes fixed on
vacancy, replying not to the salutes
which it was the custom of the times
for strangers to give each other.
At glance Jackson saw the fop, and
determined to play the part of Boniface.
He welcomed the stranger with dis
tinguished politeness, and the company
about the fire made room for him. But
the automaton was not to be won to
conversation.
He walked up and down the room con-
templating his own graces, and present
ly exclaimed commandingly:
Landlord, want supper"
Supper was spread and the stately
youth devoured it. Then he resumed
his walk, answered not word to the
remarks of the fireside circle of lawyers
and judges, and Jackson grew more and
more wrathful.
Landlord, want to go to bed ~ was
the next demand and he added, I" /
want room to myself"
Jackson represented that the house
was full, and there was not single
room to be had; the young fellow was
not to be moved. Jackson disappeared,
and shortly returned, announcing that
the guests room was ready. The two
went through the front door, all the
company following, and stopped = at
the corn crib, through the cracks of
which light was shining.
" There's your room," said Jackson.
C Do you wish to insult me, sir ?' the
youth asked.
g No insult at all, sir. You vowed you
would not sleep in room with any one
and demanded room by yourself. There
it is, sir"
81 vow will not sleep there" said
the dandy.
"By the Eternal you shall !" exclaim-
ed Jackson, and grabbing the youth, he
sent him at one toss into the crib and
locked the door.
And there he staid all night, and in
the morning he was released and dis
missed breakfastless by the impetuous
Jackson. This is tale related by an
ancient lady of Rogersville.

TT is NOW au acknowledged fact that Con-
sumption can be cured. II has been cured In
very great number of cases (some OF them
apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone, and In others by the
same medicine In connection with Schenk's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or
both, according to the requirements of the
case.
The old supposltlon that Consumption s
incurable," for many years deferred Physicians
from attempting to find a remedy for that
disease, and patients afflicted with 1t recon-
ci.ed themselves to death without and effort
being made to save them from q doom which
was considered inevitable.
DIR. schenclx himself was supposed at one
time to be at the very gate of death, his
Physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and aboudoned him to his fate: he was
cured by the aforesaid medicines and afterward
enjoyed uninte rupted good health for more
than forty years. Thousands of people have
used Dr. Sehenck's preparations with the same
remarkable success.
Schenck's Almanac, containing thorough
treatise on Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia &C., can be had gratis of any
druggist, or of j. II. Schenck II Son, Phila =

To Cure Drunkenness.

Charles Napier, an Englishman Of
good standing in science, has been test
ing the theory that alcoholic drink is
compatible with animal food, but not
with farinaceous. He announces, as the
practical result of many experiments,
that vegetable diet is remarkable help
to the cure of drunkenness. He men
tions the case of an old man, whose
constitution had been shattered by re-
peated attacks of delirium tremens, and
who was cured of his appetite for liquor
in several months by eschewing meat
This is an easy way to cure drunkenness
and nditought to be read in the temperance
meetings now in progress all over the
country.

Too Sharp for the Beggars:.

The following legend relates how
certain Grand Duke of Florence built
bridge without expense to the State =
" The Grand Duke issued a proclama-
ton that every beggar who would ap-
pear in the grand plaza at a certain desig-
mated time should be provided with "a
new suit of clothes free of cost. At the
appointed time the beggars of the city
all assembled, whereupon the officers
caused each avenue in the public square
to be closed and then compelled the beg
gars to strip off their old clothes, and
gave TO each one, according to promise, "a
new suit. In the old clothes thus COL
lected enough money was found con-
cealed to build beautiful bridge over
the Aruo, still called the Beggars'
Bridge.

Loving Friends.

Never cast aside your friends if by any
possibility you can retain them. We are
the weakest of spendthrifts if we let one
drop off through inattention, or LET one
push away another, or If we hold aloof
from one through petty jealousy or heed
less slight or roughness. Would you
throw away diamond because it tpricked
your One good friend is not to be
weighed against the jewels of the earth.
If there is GOODNESS or unkindness be-
tween us, let US come face to face and
have it out. Quick, before the love
grows cold Life is too short to quarrel
in, or to carry black thoughts of friends.
1t is easy to lose friend, but new one
will not come for calling, nor make up
for the old one.

RICH OEs.-The Sil,sr State of the 18th
instant has the following about the lately dis
covered mines in the southern part of Hum
boldt County: c. W. Gilbert arrived here
yesterday with FIVE and half tons of ore
from his mine in Bolivia Canyon, in the south
ern part of the county. The ore is pronounced
10y good judges to be az rich as any ever seen
in quantity in this part of the country.
Chunks of it weighing several pounds assay
over 5000 to the ton, and it is expected
that lot OF it which has been well assorted
will work about 81, 0OO to the ton, while the
second class will work up to nearly half that
amount Mr.. Gilbert informs us that his
mine ID situated near Bolivia Canyon, on the
eastern slope of Table Mountain. 1t is named
the Linda 10, and IS prospectod by a shaft to
n depth Of sixteen feet. The vein is about
five fest thick, and the rich streak about
foot wide. He says that one day last week
he took out alone about ton If ore that ne
is confident viii work 81 900 The mine is
in every respect poor mans ledge, as it re-
quires no capital to make it pay, and Mr..
Gilbert, who has spent several years prospect
ing in Southern Humboldt, deserves just

AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE.

A Gallpolis correspondent of the Cinoin
natl Gazette thus calls attention to two very
| interesting relics of the past century: There
| is probably now In Galiia County lnfrmary
the oldest married couple in the United States
namely, William j. Davis and Lucy Ann
Davis, both of whom were born in Pennsylva
mia, the old gent being born on November
80, 1771, and the old lady on February 10,
1873, both being over 100 years old. They
each have been married twice before He is
living with his third wife and she with her
third husband. They have been living to-
getFer forty-three years, or nearly half a
century. They are both hale and hearty and
bid fair to live for twenty years yet. The
old man is little deaf, and, with that ex-
ception, they are both in possession of their
full faculties. The old lady even reads with
out the aid Of glasses On Sunday, No
vember TO- they walked two miles to call ON
u friend, and were little fstigued by the ex-
erticn. Four years ago they walked from
here to Jackson, a distance of thirty-two
miles, in two days. The old man hss never
been sick a day i'll his life, and as yet has
never taken dose of medicine. He is
addicted to the use of tobacco, but his teeth
are in a remarkable state of preservation.
The above Is a positive fact, and can be sub
stantisted. We challenge any State i'll the
Union to produce their equal.
BUMhERs. The Bodie Standard of the
18th says ALI new mining camps are afflicted
with that portion of the gends homo COM
monty denominated bummers, and Bodie,
just now, is no exception to the general rule.
We have several cases in point which are as
familiar to us as the mountain tops, whom we
have seen in every camp we have been in for
the past ten years. They are omniverous,
carniverous and omnipresent. One meets
them at every corner, or, in cold weather,
finds them hugging saloon stove awaiting
the entrance of some unfortunate whose face
is familiar to their pleased vision. With in
sinuating manner and a deprecatory whine
they ask for the accustomed two bits E'for
grub, which amount, as soon as the donors
back is turned, is at once invested in liquid
refreshments. They are hardy and long
lived race, and seldom if ever are known to
be absent from their regular beats. Did they
exert one-half the energy and perseverance,
in an honest calling that thells1pend in dodg-
ing honest labor the world as well as them
selves would be the gsinor. No old-timer
can escape being asked dozen times day
for GRUB money" and except one steeles his
heart against such opportunities, he will act
as a supporter Of class who aro always hunt
ing for work with a desire never to find it,
