MARYsvILLE, March 6th.-The
Yuba reached a maximum height
at o'clock z. NJ, standing at that
hour at fifteen feet and eleven inch
es above low twater marks being
three inches less than the high
water mark OF 1875. AT this writ
ing 1t has receded four inches and
is still falling. Feather river
lacked one inch OF being as high as
in 1875. Sutter county levee, in
district No. IL, which was raised
the last summer at great expense,
proved inadequate to the great
pressure against it. A serious
break occurred about 2 o'clock P.
NJ. on the premiees of Henry
Schussler, near Yuba City, sub
merging in short time all the
valuable farms lying south of that
town, carrying away fencing and
doing great damage. But for q
short cross levee thrown up hastily,
Yuba City would have shared u
like fate.
A washout on the California and
Oregon Railroad occurred about u
mile north of the railroad bridge
spanning Feather river aud sec
ond one on the same road near the
cemetery suburbs of the city, The
passengers and mails from San
Francisco arrived on time this
evening, being ferried across the
break at Bear river The train re-
mains here unable to proceed

The Era OF Prosperity.

Charles Francis Adams bears fiat
tering testimony to the improve
ment in the times. Coming from
such an authority the public will
welcome his remarks as contribu-
tion to current history. In speech
before the indianapolis Board of
Trade, a few days ago, he said:
/ am fully persuaded, from all l
see as | go over this country, that
at no time was it so prosperous as
it is to-day, and that it is now 60
ing into period of prosperity in
the next ten or fifteen years greater
than it ever had before. 1 could 60
further, and say that we are getting
into Il period of prosperity greater
than any people ever saw before-a
period when ali these great causes
that are now working here in this
room, the combination of tele.
graphs and railroads and other ap-
pliances, have got to work with
greater energy and produce greater
results than we have dreamed of
or seen any cause to dream of il
past history.

The artotype is the name given
to one of the new inventions for
compelling light and chemistry to
do the work which has for years
been the allotment of the artists
graver and pencil. The process is
"a species of foto-engraving. The
pictures have the accuracy, the in
finite detail, the perfect definition,
the brilliant effects of the best
fotografs, with the added advantage
of being permanent-as endur-
Ing as paper and ink can be. AS
imperishable, for example, as steel
engravings. The invention differs
notably from its rivals in its great
er directness of method; it gives
what may be termed the imme-
diate autograf of the sun, printing
upon the paper his very penciling
without the transfers and reversals
employed in other systems. 1t is
capable, consequently, of represent
ing certainty and delicacy OF line
and refinement of shading which
no other permanent process has at
tained. The value of such an in
vention as an agency for the popu-
larization of art-the multiplica-
ton and diffusion among the peO-
pie of the works of the great mas
ters which have hitherto been
locked up in remote galleries or
costly collections-is almost meal
culable.

PAUPER ALLEY AND THE BAR
BERs.
OF course one's perambulations
of Frisco often take one past Pine
street and Pauper alley. The same
old crowd one always sees is still
there. The only difference is that,
with each recurring visit, the
throng is little smaller and the
habitues of those classic precincts
are trifle shabbier than on the
previous visit. 1t is impossible to
get shaved without having to listen
to excited discussions amongst the
BARRIERS as to the merits of such
and such stock, and as to the
nearness of the "boomu which is
to revive memories of the old bo-
nanza days of 1S74-75. But, some
how, like an ignus .fatuus, this
''boom" never puts in an appear
ance except at an illusive distance.
We doubt if there is a "tonsorlal
artist" in San Francisco who has
not put most of his little "pile" in
stocks. And so of the coachmen,
the servant girls, and "their sis
ters, and their cousins and their
aunts." OF such are the kingdom
of Flood. The poor are his most
infatuated subjects. ]. ID. l..

VIRGINIA CITY, Nov. 10.-Col.

the Savage mine, has resigned, and
J. P. Kelly, lawyer, formerly of
Phoebe, has been appointed in his
place.
Yesterday afternoon, I. E. James,
Surveyor and Superintendent of
the Yellow Jacket mine, had a mar
row escape in the Sierra Nevada
incline while surveying the line
between the Union aud Sierra Ne
vada mines. He had stationed
man above with u light and the
giraffe was above him. He had
taken the angle and was getting
the pitch of the incline when the
giraffe came down upon him. His
instrument was hurled down the
incline, and he was pushed over
upon the track and showed ahead
ofthe giraffe till his weight stopped
it just as it was about running
over his head. He was sleepless
and feverish all night, but is up
this morning, although not able to
do anything.
The Ophir shipped $4,000 to-

Endesvors 90 AmeriOrase the CON
dition of the POpuiati0u of Asia
nlinOr-Ths Berlin Tressy.
PARIS, Nov. 10th.-The Repub-
HQue Fr0ncaise has approved Eng
lands endeavors to ameliorate the
condition of the people of Asia
Minor in so far as her action may
be compatible with rights which
France will always require to be re-
epected.
The Journal des Debats remarks
that If, at the end of ten days of
grace, England declares herself sat-
isfied, it will not have been labor
lost, if not for the population of
Asia Minor, at least for the prestige
of the Beaconsfield Ministry, and
Guildnall may resound tomorrow
with expressions of self-satisfac-
ton.
Lie Temps likewise anticipates
that Lord Beaconsfield will boast
of doubtful triumph, everything
having been clearly arranged to in
sure the effect of the famous annual
speech. AS to the conditions of the
countermand or the order for the
fleet to proceed to Turkish
waters, it Will soon be
seen whether they are cal
culated to provoke smile or strike
the popular Imagination. In the
latter case something extraordinary
will be required; a sequel to the
Cyprus Conventions; the acquisition
of some new pledge; some Syrian
port, for instance, would not be too
much. A simple repetition of the
pledges so often taken by the Porte
would not be ministerial success.
The Temps asks whether England
will now supply Turkey with funds;
If so, it would be an imposition of
conditions by the Porte, not by
England. If not, Turkish promises
are worthless. Unless, too, Eng
OF the Berlin Treaty to unmake and
remake that treaty, she has 10
greater right than Rnssia of inter-
ference in the Armenian provinces.

Boston Wool Market.
BOSTON, Nov. 10th.-The wool
market during the past week has
been excited, and prices again ad-

| fleeces, with corresponding ad-
vance on nearly all other grades.
Total sales 3,7I2, 600 pounds dOmes-
tic, and 6l3, 500 foreign. The adj
vance in prices appears to put no
check whatever on manufacturers,
who continue free purchasers.
Fine fieeces took another decided
start upward. In California wool
transactions were large; choice
northern Spring sold at 40c., the
highest price for many years. This
price has been refused for large
lot on the way by water. Full
woods haye been largely placed, to
| arrive. Combing and delaine
fleeces were not sold to any extent
last week, more from the want OF
stock than from the lack of buyers.
In unwashed and unmerehantable
fleeces, sales were not so large as
previously noticed, but prices adj
vanced about Sc. on desirable
grades. There was q fair business
in foreign wool at full prices. Ore
gon is quoted at 22@25c., Territory,
22@351c. In California there have
been sales Of 10000 pounds Spring
at 24@40c., and 1,007,00 pounds
Fall at 1S@33c. Choice lots of Fall
sold at S2@33c. But small per-
centage of Fall wool sold has yet

Dean Stanley on America.

Speaking at Birmingham on the 10th
ult., Dean Stanley expressed some
thoughts suggested by bis recent visit 10
America. He noticed in Americans, as
a marked popularity, apparent almost
and elasticity both of the national and
individual characters.
1t might be the product Of their bril-
liant, exhilarating, invigorating climate;
it might be the accompaniment of the
vast horizon opened by their boundless
territory; it might be partly the youth
of the nation; but its existence was un-
questie nable. If at times there was
something almost of levity in the reali-
zation with which misfortunes were
thrown of and life begun over again; if
at times the more sober part of the ma.
ton was depressed by the sense Of the
difficulties which they had to encouD-
ter; yet, on the whole, this spring of vi.
tality, if turned to good account, must
be Of i~ncalculable virtue in this work
ing world, where the imagination still
play ed 80 large \ part, and where so much
was given to confidence of victory, even
more than to victory itself. If per-
chance the United States had too much
of it, We, it might be, had too little; and
this confidence of Americans in their
own political, ecclesiastical and social
system was a warning to us to rise above
those doleful lamentations with which
in these days We oftenheard citizens, and
churchmen, and Christians of England
despair of our country, our church and
our religion.
