IT'S A DUTY TO BE FRANK.

Elsewhere will be read the manly
remarks Of our esteemed Clinton con-
irore Of tho atriot.Dcmocrat, in re-
ply to the accusations preferred by
certain papers that those Of their con-
tcmporarics, who have seen titto give
uttcyancc to the discomfort Of the peo-
pie, at some Of the acts Of the Legisla-
turc and of the Executive, arc doing
very great wrong in thus performing
their duty as journalists.
II is not IN evidence, OF II deter
mination to oppose the State Admin
istration because Of expressions OF
disapproval or condemnation Of some
Of its acts. II il rather u manltesta-
ton of the desire to cnlightcn those ut
tho head of affairs Of the true condi-
lion Of public sentiment. The worst
Of friends or supporters, are those who
cry amen to all that is done, whether
it be right or wrong.
The press should be the exponent
ofpublic opinion; and under certain
circumstances It's guide.
The public will soon lose confidence
in n journal who does not possess the
courage to poin, out those inpowcr
The errors whic" 'hrA from 3 time to
limo commit.
As one who added t'is mite to cle-
vatc Gov. Wilt TO t!1 exalted posi-
ton ho occupies, we Gave it mt heart
to sec his Administration become IN
entire success. That ne has, and
will commit errors, istnOt 4 matter OF
doubt, in our mind.
And We have enough independence
of character to speak, ont whenever,
in our opinion, he fAEs to meet popu-
lar expectations. In doing this, sc
will Ael that we are performing our
duty as u journalist a.ld that we are
in reality bcfricndim.s a Governor
whom VIC have known since hisyouth;
one possessing great qualities Of head
and heart.
That he is and will bc surrounded
by good as well as evil influences, is
the lot Of every man who occupies
the prominent positions which he is to
hold for the next four gears.
70 tell him that everything that he
does is well done, is to deceive him
and to conceal the exact situation OF
affairs.
We will ak'ndon thNt role to The
"ch;ncrs in.' Our course will be to
approve his acts, whenever VIC believe
them to be just and proper; as also to
condemH those likely to do injury,
either to the general welfare or to his
own soodnamc.
In the end, We belicyc that Gov
Wilt will hold in higMr estimation,
those who, while they arc ever ready
to give his Adminvtra;ion a cordial
support, do not hesitate. to say what
they think.
A State will be intel!igently gov.
crncd, when the press OF its every sec.
ton has the manlincss to bring tc
light the complaints and the wants u
the people.

A Canary Bird Story.

The story OF the first introduction of
canary birds into California Is thus told:
In 1874 or As Charles and Henry Reiche,
two young Germans, having little else than
the practical education that seems to be
natural to young Germans, were bird ped
dlers In New York. They went about
from street to street selling birds from
stands. Their trade was principally in
canaries, which they had sent over from
Germany where they were only ten Or
twelve cents each. They did a pretty
fair business up to 1862, when they made
q daring stroke that made them their for
tune and established the enormous business
that they now control. At that time Cal
ifornia was in the flush of gold finding.
Gold was plentiful there, but luxur1es few.
There was no transcontinental road, and
the Isthmus route was tedious and costly.
Yosng Reiche, knowing that canar1es were
unknown there, and believing they would
become the rage when once seen, deter
mined to carry over q cargo. He, there
fore, got 5000 of the yellow fellows, to-
gether, and, packing them in little cages,
started fer the Isthmus. Arriving at Car
tagena, he had his birds carried across to
Panama Bay, by natives, and caught q
ship there, and soon reached San Francis
co. He was late in reaching the ship, and
the captain was about to sail without him,
but, seeing his boats filed with covered
boxes. thought it was belated mail matter.
When Re:che drew near, the captain hailed
him and asked him what he had.
Canary BIRDS" replied Reiche.
Canary birds be hanged" shouted the
captain. "lf I'd known it was birds, I'd
ha' left you long ago "
Rel, he's first idea of the flush tide he
was to ride was caught from a homesick
Englishman, who, hearing the whistle of
n bullfnch that had accidentally been put
In with the canaries, offered to pay the
expenses of the entire cargo for that finch.
AS this amounted to $283, Reiche saw that
he had struck a rich lead, and he put
the price Of the canaries at $25 each. They
did become the rage. Hotels, saloons,
private residences, all must have canary.
The little yellow birds made craze like
the tulip mania. The price soon went up to
800, and the cargo was soon sold. Reiche
returned to New York rich man.

A Bridge In Cashmere.

The bridge over the Jhelum is not two
hundred yards from the Fort of Oorie,
though considerably lower, and is not more
than from thirty to forty yards long. The
awo pieces are of equal elevation (tlIat ie
to say, from the water), and are constructed
of wood and unhewn stone. The bridge
itself is entirely made of twigs, and the
bushes which are despoiled for this materi-
al grow close to the banks of the river
These twigs are twisted into ropes Of an
inch and half and two inches in diameter,
and three or four of these tw1g ropes form
each of the sides of the bridge. The
flooring of the construction is of twigs
formed into ropes, and placed lengthwlse
from pier to pier, across the gulf. The
width of this footway is about six inches,
just enough for passenger to walk across,
putting one foot before the other. The
side twig- g-ropes are about three feet high.
Short ropes join the sides to that part of
the bridge where the passenger walks
across; but these twigs are two and three
feet apart, and the trembling wayfarer has
plenty of opportunity to gaze at his leisure
on the roaring food a few yards only be-
meath his feet, dashing madly on! How
ever, there are many worse bridges of the
kind, and the one below Khokshur, in
Lahoul, is twice as long and twice as fright
full. The longer the bridge is, the more
Hckening is the swinging to and fro of the
frail construction.
