How Downieville was Named.

Downieville had become a mining
camp of several thousand inhabitants
before it was dignified with name. 1t
was known simply as the "Forks of the
Yuba, a title, of course, only temper
airy. At last, both the dignity of the
settlement and the necessities of the
case made it imperative that some more
definite appellation should be selected.
A day, therefore, was set apart on which
a general mass meeting was to be held
for the purpose of determining suita-
BILE NAME Right here, it may be well
to state, that owing to imperfect COM
munication, the camp was suffering not
only from want of provisions, but from
far greater calamity-no whisky. The
greater crowd that gathered at the meet
ing had been going through an enforced
temperance seige for the space of ten
days. Perhaps it was ON this account
that their intellects were so uncommonly
active, for every mothers son of them
had a name to propose. Some wished
to honor the homes Of their youth,
some wished to pay sly compliment
to the girls they left behind them. The
assembly was hopelessly divided, and
the discussion began to assume quar-
relsome, not to say sanguinary aspect.
An individual was just declaring that
any one who said that "New Pittsburg''
was either an inappropriate or inelegant
name, was an unprincipled scoundrel
and NANCY cur, when Major Downie
was seen approaching, bearing heavy
covered burden ON his back. He mount
ed the rostrum, deposited his load on
the stand and unwrapped it, 1t was a
ten-gallon keg of whisky, with tin
cup attachment. Gentlemen, said
the Major, 81 just received an invoice
of the beverage that cheers and also in
ebriates. Understanding that you were
all dry, ! thought I'd drop in and ask
you to have drink with me-" Instant
ly the cry of 'Downieville" went up
with yell that made the pine cones
tremble on the tallest trees. As soon as
order could be restored q motion was
put to call the town by that name, and
the same was carried without single
dissenting voice.-Marin Tocsoa.

The antediluvians were wonderful
race of men. We read that one of
them, Mahalaleel, began to have sons
and daughters after he had reached the
ripe age of eight hundred and thirty
years. But there has been strange
shriveling up of masculine virility since
those mythical days, and when it is an
