He sought it; never man with more haste and zeal, for his brain beat with victorious consciousness of power; he hungered to rule mankind, and his blood

In a week or two the peach season will be over,
when, Jim McCue informs us, it is his intention
to go into the Opposition Stage business with
more spirit and determination than ever. There
is denying that it's both to the direct and in
direct advantage of our town to sustain him.
There is plenty of travel for both lines If fairly
divided, as is rendered apparent from the fact
that the coaches of the Combination Company
frequently go out jammed full inside, and with
twelve and fourteen passengers ON top. There
can be no safety to human life over these noun
tains with any such load and the only wonder
is that people are so reckless of safety as to
take the risks.


McCue's enterprise is backed by another and
better argument. He keeps down the prices of
fare. Before he came on, six dollars were de-
manded as the price of a passage to Marysville.
Now, by his line, the traveller pays but three
Fare is worth that between San Juan and Ma
rysville and no more. To be sure, the Combina-
ton carries for one dollar, but should Jim pull
off, up again it would go to six. Every one will
see, then-particularly every permanent resi-
dent Of the town, that McCue should be liber-
ally patronzed. "Opposition is the life of trade
and so long as there is an open field, the enter
prising have right to enter it with their capital,
and succeed in whatever business they may
choose to adopt, if they can.

Neither turn thyself to the proud one who
yaunts herself on having scanned the pages OF

thee IN grief and sOothe thee in sickness; to re-
Jolce IN thy prosperity aud cling to thee in thy

SPoTs ON THE SUN.-There are now more
spots on the sun than have been visible before
for many years; some of them are visible
through a smoked glass to the naked eye.
The Scientific American says that several
stars-some ofthem of great brilliancy, which,
from their ascertained distance, must have
been as large as our sun-have totally disap-
peared from the sky and the question has
been raised among astronomers, whether the
light and heat of the sun are gradually fading
away. AS this would cause the destruction
of all the plants and animals on the earth, it
is rather an interesting question. 1t is stated
that the suns light and heat are diminished
by the dark spots, at the present time. about
one per cent. If the dark spots continue to
increase in size and number, we may well
begin to fear that our great luminary is in
danger of being blotted out.
