INTERNAL INFLUENCE.
Its Potency in Shaping the Careers and
Characters of Man.
The lecture by Professor ]. Wyclif Rick.
last Saturday evening, at the Westminster
Presbyterian Church, was conceded by the
intelligent audience who heard him, to be
mastery production, well worthy the
reputation which the lecturer has sustained
in this and other States of the Union
In the language of one of our contempt
raries, Mr.. Kicks appears to be a gentle
man who stands upon the divide OF life's
pilgrimage viewing with both pleasure and
pain, the somewhat checkered and uneven
journey, thus far traversed. A gentleman
of quick and critical observation. earnest
and torcible in speech, with a voice in strici
harmony with his powerful physique he
held his audience in wrapped attention
from commencement to close The speaker
was truly eloquent in his portrayal Of
woman's influence in the great Temperance
reformation. He interlarded his lecture
with many illustrations of q mother power
IN moldlng the manner and morals of the
world
He spoke of Cornelia as a lone star
standing ont amid the darkness and de.
generacy of Roman matrons, illustrating a
mothers power. In the expression These
are my jewels, she displays her interest in
the destiny of her sons. As the mother OF
the Graceful, Cornelia shines upon the
page of history. If the question be asked
why her sons lowered above tLcir cotem-
poraries in Their virtuous and lofty achieve
nents, the answer may be found in the
expression, "Cornelia was their mother. y

try. Those high, intellectual and noble
qualities which impaired splendor and re-
nown TO his deeds; that patriotism which
blazed brightest amid the perils of the
darkest hour; that devotion which Deep
ened as dangers thickened and those COM
manding virtues which temptations only
fortified, were but the product of the
lessons which George Washington learned
at the knee of his devoted mother Mary,
the Mother of Washington" marks the
tombstone of the American ma.ron.
As an entirety, the lecture was a rare
treat to the intelligent audience. Its i'm
port was that lnotherly influences, friendly
and Christian advice would prove more po-
tent factors that coercion in the matter OF
restraining the vice of intemperance.
ARRESTED AT PLYMoUTH.-On Thursday
last man named Frink reported to the
police that he had been robbed of $50 the
night before in John Norton's saloon. on
K street, while drunk. He charged Will
lam F. Patterson with the crime. 1t was
learned atterward that Patterson dumped
the town that morning, and it was sup
posed that he had headed for San Fran
cisco. 1t appears, however, that he left bv
the early train for Single Springs, as on
Friday afternoon a telegram was received
from Plymouth, Amador county, that he
had been arrested there on the strength OF
an item in the RECORD UNION of that
morning. Accordingly officer Franks
started in buggy that night, and reached
Plymouth early on Saturday morning,
where Patterson was found guarded bv
three citizens, there being no Jail in the
place. Franks returned with his man on
Saturday evening, but the latter was minus
the money. 1t is said, however, that he
was seen with $65 in his possession in
Placerville just before he left for Plymouth.
Patterson is a bad character having re-
Gently been arrested for petty crimes. He
made his headquarters while here at the
saloon mentioned. He will be fortunate il
he escapes getting taste of the State
Prison this time.

A BRIGHT BEGINNING.-The Fountain
Varieties" ON Second street was reopened
on Saturday evening last with great eclat i;
that is, there was plenty of noise. and an
assemblage of as tough-looking a gang as
ever broke loose from a penitentiary. The
revelry had not progressed for more than
three hours when a row broke out in the
bar-room. 1t did not come as early as the
impatient multitude assembled across the
street expected it would, but il came all the
same. Two young men-Harry Beeler and
George Adams-went into the saloon and
called for beer. Some difficulty occurred
between them and Gus Churchill, the bar
tender who Is said to be proprietor), which
resulted in the latter hurting a tumbler AZ
Beeler. Had it hit the mark. the lad
might have perhaps required a coffin ere
this. Beeler swore out warrant against
Churchill for assault with deadly weapon.
and he was accordingly arrested If the
statement made by Beeler is correct there
was apparently no cause for the assault.

night a farmer named johnson, who re.

Y streets, while coming into the city. The
