THE SUN in THE DESERT.

Alex. w. Kingslake in his book,
'fEothcn," gives the following poetic,
description of the scorching effect OF
the sun upon the Oriental desert:
As long as you arc journeying In tho
interior Of the desert, you have no par
tfcuiar point to make for as your resting
place. The endless sands yield
nothing but small stunted shrubs
! even these fail after the first two or three
days, and from that time you pass over
broad plains-yOn pass over newly
reared hills-you pass through valleys
that the storm Of tho last week dug, and
the hills and the valleys arc sand, sand,
sand, still sand and only sand, and sand,
and sand again. The earth Is so samely,
that your eyes turn toward heaven-tO-
ward heaven, 1 mean, in tho sense of
sky. You look to tho sun, for no Is
your task-master, and by him you know
the measure of the work you have done
and tho measure of tho work that re-
mains for you to do; hc comes when
you strike your tent In early morn
ing, and then, for tho first hour of tho
day as you move forward on your
camel, he stands at the near side, and
make you know that tho whole days
toll is before you; then for n while, and
long while you 500 him no more, for
you arc vcilcd and shrouded, and tlaro
INV Aooh upOA1 mug VI IBID SIuyt
but know where he strides overhead
by tho touch of his flaming sword. No
words arc spoken, but your Arabs
moan and your camcis sigh, your skin
glows, your shoulders ache, and for
sights you SEQ the pattern and tho web
of the silk that wells your eyes, and the
glare of the outer. Time lnbOrs on
and you see the same pattern in tho
silk and the same glare of light beyond;
but conqucriDg, time marches on, and
by-and-by tho descending sun has com
passed tho heaven, and now softly
| touches your right arm, throws your
lank shadow over the sand, right along
on tho way for Persia; then again yo"
look upon his power all vcilcd in his
| beauty, and the rcdness of flames has
become the rcdncss roses; the fair,
wavy cloud that fled in tho morning
! now comes to his sight once moro
comes bcaming with bushes, yet
hastcns, and cling5 to his side.

REMARKABLE ADVICE.

Ex-Judge David s. Terry is one of the
leading advocates OF the new California
Constitution. he made an elaborate
speech in its favor at Platt's Hall. San
Francisco, a few evenings since. In the
course Of his remarks he used the follow
ing remarkable language:
Now, gentlemen, money will be spent
for the purpose Of inducing people not to
vote. My advice TO the poor people Of
this town is to take every dollar that they
will give you. Loud cheers. The money
will be IN better and honester hands than
it ever was before. II a fellow comes with
$40, $40 or S., put it in your pocket, but
vote your own ticket. There is a good deal
of difference between buying a vote and
having it delivered. Under the law as it
now stands, the tickets look nearly alike.
They can not put any marks on them.
Every man has got his own ticket in his
pocket, aud has got to walk one hundred
feet by himself to put it in, and he can
take the bride money with one hand and
vote the ticket with the other. If the law
was like it was a few years ago, when they
could have anything like that (holding up
a ticket, If they had something like that,
and could put it in the hands of the men
they paid wages to, then they might gain
something by their bribery"
We have been accustomed for years to
look upon Judge Terry as one of the most
correct men in the Golden State-as a nan
scorning every species Of corruption. We
are, therefore, greatly surprised at finding
such language as the above emanating from
him. To say the very least, he must have
had a very low estimate of the intelligence

1T WAS A WINNING TEAM.
From the Reno State journal.
The Democracy are forced to lose again
under the losing team OF 1876.
A WARNING.
From the Reno Gazette.
Somewhat extended travels in California
lead US to believe that there Is more PROB
ability Of the new Constitution carrying
than most people suppose. Nearly all the
men who were members of the Convention
arc working hard for it, and so are some OF
the most energetic newspapers In the State.
The fear that the Gazette expressed re-
Gently, that the over-Zealous efforts OF Its
opponents against it might bring about q
reaction in public sentiment, was we'll
founded.
A SENSIBLE MOVE.
From the Time,-Review.
Henceforth we shall publish every case,
with the names of the defendants, and
everything Of interest connected with the
proceedings. Our rule will be rigidly adj
hered to, and no exception will be made in
favor of friend or foe. Let those who
don't want their names to appear Ill our
columns keep them off the Police Court
docket.
DIFFERENCE BETwIxT The OLD AND NEW.
From the Enterprise.
Heretofore the Central Pacific Company
has had the reputation OF being obliged to
purchase a majority Of the California Legs
lature. Under the new Constitution it
would only be necessary to fix " Com
missioners. That is how the new Consti-
tuition delivers the poor men OF California
from the clatehes Of the railroad monop-
oily.
HOW TRADE MAY BE REVIVED.
From the Austin Reveille.
II Congress is DESTROYS Of giving an i'm
petus to trade, and to restore perfect faith
in the financial condition Of the country,
tue best thing it can do to accomplish this
end is to pass a free silver bill. BY SO doing
they will create q market for labor. and
this in turn would have the effect of in
creasing the demand for manufactured
goods, and that again in its turn would
open o channel of work for the men,
ployed in manufacturing districts, thus
there would be a step forward taken all
round, and the country would soon feel the
benefit Of it.
