A DevOut life.

Devout life has untold power. Like
the forces of nature, it is often hidden or
obscure, but it holds and shakes the
world. Men may refuse to hear your
preaching; they are not able to eyade the
argument of blameless and holy life
The aroms of it fills all the atmosphere;
its doctrines distill like the gentle dew,
or like the small rain on the mown grass,
its lines go out through all the earth, it's
word to the end of the world there is no
speech or language where its voice is not
heard. Your religion, to be of any worth,
must be such lie. Profession is well,
but it is only the gateway to the life only
the sign of the inward substance. The go >
pei was not proclaimed to give you a
creed, but TO render possible to you de-
vout life. You will be a power among
men, not in proportion to your knowledge,
or your natural endowment, but in pro
portion to the sanctity and fullness of
your religious life lions Herald.

The sTInimum Shris,fau.


The minimum Christianl And who
is he? The Christian who is going to be
saved at the cheapest rate possible the
Christian who intends to get all the
world he can, and not meet the world
ling's doom; the Christian who aims to
have as little religion as he may, with.
out lacking it altogether.
The minimum Christian goes to
church in the morning, and in the after
noon also, unless it rains, or is too warm,
or too cold, or he is too sleepy, or has q
headache from eating too much dinner.
He listens most respectfully to the
preacher, and joins in the prayer and
praise. He applies the truth very Judi
ciOusiy-sometimes to himself, often to
his neighbors.
The minimum Christian is very
friendly to all good works. He wishes
them we'll but it is not in his power to
DO much for them. The Sabbath school
ne looks upon as an admirable institu.
ton, especially for the neglected and the
ignorant. It is not convenient, however
for him to take class. His business en-.
gsgements are so pressing during the
week that he needs Sunday as day OF
rest nor does he think himself qualified
to act as teacher. There are so many
persons better prepared for this impor.
tant duty, that ne must beg to be
excused. He ia very friendly to home
and foreign missions and colportage, and
gives his mite. He thinks there are too
many appeals, but he gives, if not enough
To save his reputation, pretty near it; al
all events be aims to.
The minimum Christian is not clear
on a number of points. The opera and
dancing, the theatre and card-playing
and large, fashionable parties, give him
much trouble. He cannot see the harm
in this or that or the other popular
amusement. There is nothing in the
bible against it. He does not sea but
that a man may be a Christian and
! dance, or go to tho opera. He knows
several excellent persons who do. Why
should not he? He stands so close tx
the dividing line between the people O.
God and the world that it is hard TO say
on which side of it he is actually to bt
| fund.
All, my brother, are You making THU
attempt? Beware, lest you find at las
that, in trying to get into heaven with
a little religion, you miss it altogether
lest, without gaining the whole world
you lose your own SOUL Presby

DIsGRACEFUL FAILUHE.-The Com
miitee appointed to procure the means for

tons at the Paris Exposition held meet.
ing yesterday, and gave up the enterprise
in despair. They found that this present
Legislature is so narrow minded rs not to
have the slightest comprehension of NOR
al forces, or so Indifferent to the future
welfare Of the State as not to care wheth-
or its resources and capabilities are adver-
tiscd or not. Some Of them are OF the
opinion that we have already too many
productive inhabitants, with our five to
the square mile, and the sense OF the ma
jority appears to be that an appropriation
OF $4,000 to 10000 would be very liberal.
The Committee, well knowing that four
or five times that amount would be need
ed for anything like respectable exhibit,
concluded that further effort is useless
and adjourned sine die. This ends the
matter, for it is now too late to reorganize
by the appointment of new Committee;
and so California must go unrepresented
and unheard Of at Paris, save as she can
be advertised by the individual effort Of
private citizens. Another nail in the CO..
lin OF the Democratic party.-S. +.

A Poor BILL.-In another column we
publish fun synopsis of the Constitu-
tional Convention Bill introduced by the
joint Senatorial and Assembly Commit
tee. Had they joined for the purpose Of
defeating the expressed wish OF the peo-
pie for new Constitution, they could
have agreed on no measure which would
moro certainly prove disastrous to the
peoples hopes. The number of Dele
gates-150-is too great ; large bodies are
unwieldy, move slowly and are moro
easily corrupted than smaller ones. The
pay allowed Delegates is ridiculously
small and well known to be inadequate !;
so far from being just compensation for
important and responsible services, thu
pittance named will barely cover neccs-
sary expenses based on strict economy
What man of ordinary ability in Trinity
County, or any other county, can afford
to go TO Sacramento, paying his own ex-
penses to and fro and losing four months
time, for $500 -? No man can afford to do
it, unless il may be he has private AK to
grind or takes the chances" on lobby
influence. For the amount named it will
be difficult to secure even a respectable
minority Of first-clasS men to accept seats
in the Convention. No others should be
sent there, but the people will be forced
to take what they can get in the way of
candidates. A Convention made up of
professional politicians and worse is evil
IDENTIFY what the opponents Of New
Constitution wish, and the Bill proposed
surely promises as much. Any document
such n body might promulgate would
meet with defeat when submitted to the
people, for a Convention under this bill
would be a splendid field for operations
on the part Of railroad, bank and land
rings and monopolies. Ifthe Legislature
cannot give us q better bill than the one
proposed, the Constitutional Convention
will be failure. What the people want
is Convention composed OF intelligent,
honest, and sincere men, and for the SER
vices of such they are willing to pay Il
liberal price. Cheap men will prove the
dearest in the end. Reduce the number
Of Delegates one half, or at least
strike out the 80 Delegates at large then
pay them $40 per day and mileage the
same as Legislators receive.

A New MEXICO DUEL.-A duel recent
occurred on the Cebolla. A Mr. Colburn
was recently placed under $500 bonds for
slandoring lady, and straightway sent
challenge to the principal witness against
him-a man by the name OF Slime. The
challenge was accepted, the weapons shot
guns. On the first fire one of the charges
did not explode, and the other only the
cap. The seconds then endcavored to
effect reconciliation. Stino was willing
to be reconcied by his antagonist paying
S275, but as the entire party could raise
only 80 05 the light had to go on. On the
second FIRE Coiburn's gun went off in the
air, and he ran behind Mr.. Smith, who
was conveniently handy. Smith felt
every inch Smith and picked up rock
to defend himself. The entire party then
INDUCED in n free fight, which was ended
by the arrival of the Sheriff, who arrested
the whole outfit, and the principals we're
placed under$500 bonds to keep the peace.

THE DEBRIS QUEsTIoN.-J. P. Pierce,
heavy owner Of gravel mines at Smarts-
vile, Yuba Co., testified as follows before
the Debris Commission
Have been interested in mines twenty
four years. Think that S50.O00,O00 has
been invested by San Francisco capital
lists in placer mines, the value of which is
from SlOO, 100000 to Sl5O,000 OOO. Wit
ness thought that inside of five years the
product of the placer mines would be in
creased 10 $40, 100000 per annum. The
expense of working these mines would not
be so great in the future, in proportion to
the product, as in the past. From one
half to three quarters of the surface grav-
el of mines in which he was interested
bad been washed off. The value of the
lower stratum in proportion to the latter
was about four TO one. OF the dirt at
present being washed away at the Smarts-
vile mines, Yuba county, one-half of it
was too heavy to be washed on the low
lands and into the rivers and bays. This
was the case at all the claims, the debris
of which was deposited in the canyons Of
the Yuba river. Farming lands owned
by witness bad been covered by the de-
posts washed from the mines. The re.
suit was that land which had been bought
by him for S. per acre was paying inter
est on 5000 per acre. Five crops of alfal-
Ia per year had been cut from this land
Land washed in Nevada county by this
muddy water produced much more per
acre than in Ell Dorada county irrigated
with clear water. Much land along the
rivers which produced nothing but mus
quitoes, could be filed in by this deposit
and made to produce thirty bushels Of
wheat per acre.
