DELEGATION, NOT HASTE.

The delegates in to-days Convention can
hardly expect to conclude their labors in
an hour or two, nor at single sitting There
is no true excellence attainable without
labor, and no worthy accomplishment with
out sacrifice and some toll There should be
taken reasonable time for interchange OF
views, for statements of facts-and there
will be delivered some Rotations Of facts
relative TO the Eastern estimate of northern
California that will profoundly interest the
delegates-and ample time for consideration
of ways and means to the end all are seek
ing. Let delegates reflect that they are
engaged upon q work, the results of which
will be impressed upon all the coming years
of California history They are called upon
to make personal sacrifice of time and some
means now in philanthropic spirit. If
the consciousness of wise action well per-
formed is any reward, let them take time .
build slowly, but build surely. They mus
not be deluded by the fancy that any of
them can be spared from the counsels of
the conyocation under the belief that others
will do the work, since if that will justify
one for absenting himself who has found
it possible to come to the city. it will justify
all Let us for once have council of full
numbers, of patience, deliberation and
accomplishment.

I fortunately, was combatiye and stood for
her rights, and succeeded in driving
through the skulls of a bench ofjudges that
she was as sane as they, however much ola
tcrma5ant She might be. Her case has
served as another Of the multitude Of re-

world is coming to the conclusion that
physicians are by no means infaliible
judges of sanity. Doctors, we find, are liable
to many errors Of judgment on matters
they are supposed to have especially
studied, to the bias of selfinterest and
what is quite as bad, to the slavery OF the
rule Of the books There have been very
few cases of attempted confinement Of sane

To-DAY's CONVENTION AND IT'S woaK

It is in no sense exaggeration 10 say that
the Convention to assemble in this city to-
day to consider the material interests Of
northern and central California is of i'm
portancc second to none that have preceded
IT, and in many respects may be made to
prove the most valuable to the people of
any conyocation in the history Of the State.
During twenty-five years observation in
California we have known Of no popular
movement that has had such hearty and
unanimous approval From the borders of
Siskivou to the north line of Calaveras
there has not, by press or people been
raised q solitary objection nor has there
been put forward the slightest obstacle to
the success of the movement. For no
scheme has the press had such warm com
mendation or raised such high expectation.
Herein may lie danger. 1t is possible too
much may be expected of the Convention
too speedy accomplishment too early
evidences of its work. 1t has before it a
work Of some years, and not the pleasure
task of an hour.

ton against carrying our remedies to
extremes. The golden rule of ''moder-

ial force to this subject, since errors in

suit may involve the sacrifice Of the pa
tient. a strict adherence to the rules
published by "Banting" are certain to
reduce corpulency, and at the same
time to impair, If not destroy the health.
It requires wonderful amount Of pa
thence to remain contented while watch
ing the slow processes of mild but safe
remedies for the cure Of obesity, know
ing that there is shorter, even if more
dangerous, path that might be pursued.
But If the sufferer from corpulency IS
not satisfied with slow results, he had
better not attempt the treatment. De-
prived of all technical terms and obscure
theories, super-abundance Of fat is
produced by eating more than is re-
quired for the legitimate wants Of the
system, and particularly of sugar and
starchy substances, potatoes and wheat
bread. 1t has been proVed-contrary
to the general belief OH this subject

he claims that the treatment OF corpu-
lency by regulating the diet hardly in
wolves any great self-denial on the part

he allows one cup of black tea without

persistence in this plan for a fewmonths,
we are assured, will reduce corpulency !;
