that this coast has been cursed with bad
women. Now 1 should think the cheeks of
every true woman would burn with indigna-
ton upon reading such base SANDER Tor
is it not wellknown fact that in no part Of
this broad land of ours are there more vir-
tuous, seli-deDying, brave, warm-hearted
Christian women than those who grace the
happy homes of the Pacific coast. even though
the majority OF them are not regular attend
ants of the churches. There are bad women
here, to be sure, and where are they not. |
had hoped some one would speak a word in
our defense, for cannot begin to do the sub
ject justice. You who were ready enough to
take up your pen in defense Of the men. who
had also been assailed by thsse disciples of the
meek and lowly Jesus, had not q word to say
for the weaker sex. But l think Rev. Mr..
Whittle will show a more Christian spirit If
he will in future speak more respectfully of
the women of this coast. Let him who is
without sin cast the first stone.

THE WEATHER. Sergeant Barwick re-
ported last evening: This morning was the
coldest of the season, the minimum record
being 29', between and $50 a. NJ. The cold
est before was on December 23d, when it was
3O9'. The report from San Diego came TO-
day, and reaches back to last night at SOP P.
NJ. when the rainfall was 81 of an inch,
which, added to the thunderstorm of the
18th Instant made 2 10 inches, with thirty
two hours more to hear from" S. Fl. Gerrish
makes the following statement in regard to
the weather "The thermometer at O'Clock
yesterday morning was down to :4'-S' below
freezing point. There was not much white frest.
as the air is very dry. lee formed on vessels
of water out of doors to a thickness OF seven-
sixteenths of an inch. and which did not
thaw in the shade during the day. This is
the coldesT this season, and the coldest since
November 10, $780, when the thermometer
was down to 1S'-14' below freezing point.
Last night at o'clock the temperature was
at 80, and ice had already began to form,
with good prospect of a very low temper
ature in the morning. Freezing at that tenn
perature is accounted for by the extremely
rapid evaporation from the condition OF the
air. So far no damage OF consequence has
resulted to tropical vegetation, as the ground
was dampened by the early rains, which re,
sisted the influence of the north wind, and
probably the damage will be very slight, ii
any, this season"
A New FRIEND OF THE SABBATH.-A joke
is told upon w. Barsells, of this city, in
which he is credited with having, while re.
Gently at Auburn, invited the wife of a
prominent saloon keeper at that place to
drink with him. and while they were at the
bar, that he told her that as she was young ard
her husband was old, and at the time not
very well, she ought to put bug IN his Deer,
or in other words, give him dose that would
give Coroners jury an early opportunity to
= AIaA bor b,ch,nd dJod frOyY7
"heart disease" The unfortunate part of
the matter was that the deprecated husband
was at an inconvenient nearness and over
heard the testing engaged in by the Sacra-
mentan at his expense and which, as the
latter thought it over in the quiet hours of
uicht. he concluded was too unpleasant and
serious a proposition to let pass unnoticed.
| Accordingly the next day, which was Sun
day, he went to q Justice of the Peace to get
| a warrant for Bartells arrest upon the ground
of conspiracy, but the Justice, as it was a
non.iudicial, refused to grant it until Mon
day. Meantime the object of his wrath
heard of the breeze his indiscretion had
kicked up, and under the protection afforded
| by the Justices respect for the Sabbath he
made good his escape from town. It was an
unfortunate circumstance, but through it MIR.
Bartells says he has acquired an everlasting
respect for the sacred observance OF the Sab
bath.

Smith, who was arrested for robbirg the
