to purify the blood.

"THAT California is too large and unwieldy and characterized by too diverse and clashing interests to admit ofieficient and harmonious legislatiop.s ssys the Los Angeles Herald, sslaas long been obvious 10 most intelligent observers. A State which is nearly seven hundred miles long, and which has ffty-two counties, one of which is nearly as large as the Kingdom of Ireland, even if it were homogeneous in soil and population, ought not be coupled under a single government. The truth is that there is absolutely nothing in common between the northern and central counties and Southern California, and it is but a question of time,when the lnhab- itants of the southern portion will begin in earnest what is now only occasionally mentioned, agitation for the division of the State into North and South California.

A Georgia lady, while engaged in the pursuit of her domestic duties, encountered a mouse in in the four barrel. Most ladies, under similar circumstances, would have uttered few genuine shrieks and then sought safety in a garret; but this one possessed more than the ordinary degree of genu- inc courage. She summoned the man servant and told him to get the gun, call the dog and station himself at convenient distance. Then she clambered upstairs and commenced to punch the flour bar rel with a pole. Presently the mouse made its appearance and started across the floor. The dog started at once in pursuit. The lady tainted, fell down stairs, and the man, thinking she was killed and fearing he would be arrested for murder, disappeared and has not been seen since. The mouse escaped.-Exchange.

THE death of President Barrios. of Guatemala, was announced some time since, but has only recently been confirmed. He was killed in battle at Chalchaha, in an effort to establish himself as the dictator and supreme military ruler of all Central America. He was q man of decided military ability-was possessed of Q large fortune and had strong follow ing. One of his sons was killed in the same battle, and another is a cadet at West Point, who would not believe that his father had fallen until indisputable proof had been adduced. With the death of President Barrlos the scheme for the union of the Central Ameri- can States is dissolved for the present.

A WASHINGTON special correspon- dent of the San Francisco Call says: Senator Fair is the only Democratic Senator west of the AIississippiriver He has publicly maintained an important stand between the two factions. Fairs influence with the President seems to be greater than that of any other public man west of the Rockies. He calls quietly on the President, tells him in smooth tones what the people of the Coast want, and evidently makes an impress sion. Nevada is the only State thus far that has been given any appointments to office within State limits. All the other nominations. excepting Army and Navy promo tions have been made to fill depart ment positions.

A RECENT dispatch from Green Bay, Wisconsin, published in a Chicago paper, states that marine men look for the opening of navi- gation in Green Bay about the 25th inst. The difference between the climate of that part of the country and seml tropical Arizona is striking indeed, and almost in- credible. Here we are wearing summer apparel, complaining of heat during the day, and sleeping at night in the open air, while the good people of northern Wiscon- sin are yet ice bound.

WE clip the following item from the Phoenix Herald:
 And now the people of Graham are kicking at tine action of their representative in the late session There was no truer or more honest man in that body than Judge Sias. He done his duty and his constitu- ents should ask no more.
 The CLARION would inform the Herald that Judge Sias' constitu- ents are not kicking" On the contrary they arc well pleased with his course. There are few men in this county who have a wholesome dread of any honest, straightforward man coming to the front in Graham, and this limited number are trying to work up a feeling against him, but to date their attempt has been Q miserable failure.

Remarkable mirages are among the atmospheric curiosities in Da- kota. At Darlington a few morn ings since the Washington hills, over sixty miles distant, could plainly be seen in all their magnificent splendor in the horizon of the north. The mlrages occasionally seen are phenomenal wonders. Yorktown, Kimball and other towns are plainly visible, floating, as it were, in the clouds.
