HEALTH OF COws.-Good health in
domestic animals is always matter of pri-
mary importance As bad health in parents
transmits tendency to disease in the off
spring, it is important that every kind of
animal we desire to continue on our farms
should be kept vigorous and healthy. As
domestic animals. are source of human
food, it is Of great importance to preserve
them in healthy condition. Diseased meat
carries its qualities into the stomach of its
consumers. 1t is a serious objection which
vegetarlaus urge against the 1ase of animal
food that the artificial circumstances in
which anipsf5 live, and the bad treatment
they receive, render them unhealthy. As
~au unhealthy animal does not consume food
to as good advantay 20 as a well one, it is
economical to avoid disease. As compara>
tive misery and discomfort accompany dis
case, 1t Is humane as well as economical 10
see that the animals under our care enioy
as far as possible their creature comforts.
Each OF these circumstances is a sufficient
reason for guarding with scrupulous care the

RoBBEkY.-One evening last week, as Sam
uel Myers was riding along the hill this side
of Davis ferry, man suddenly stepped into
the road with double barrel shot gun in his
hand, and ordered him to halt. Myers had
scarcely refined up bis horse before two more
armed men approached and ordered him to
hand over his valuables in short order, or
they would give him dose of something
that would be very injurious to his health
Myers, seeing himself corraled, cautiously
unfastened the chain of his watch and tossed
it up the bank, where the robbers failed to
discover it. They, however, compelled him
to hand over his purse, containing over $50,
and then suddenly made off over the hill, as
if they were frightened. A few days after
the robbery of Myers. a house in the same
neighborhood was entered, and several pairs
of blankets and quantity of provisions taken
thcrefrom. Several suspicious looking char
acters have been seen prowlng around in the
vicinity of the Canon House lately, and some
think that building is or has been the tempo
rary rendezvous of the rascals committing
these depredations.

CHIcAGo.-Work on the Chicago mine is
progressing quite lively at present, and the
indications are that at least one quartz claim
in the county will be thoroughly prospected
in a very short time. Over twenty men are
now employed on the claim, and two tunnels
are being run into the hill for the purpose of
tapping the main ledge at depth of several
hundred feet below the surface groupings.
The shaft is now down IS feet, and very rich
ore is being taken from it. One solid piece
of mineral, weighing 450 pounds, has been
taken from this lode, and will probably be
sent below as specimen of Shasta county
mineral. Eight tuns of first class silver ore
from the main shaft are now assorted and
ready for shipment to San Francisco.

SEC s. The justices of the Sutgeme
Court shall be elected by the qualified cleo
tors of the State at the general election pro
vided by law for the election of Governor,
members of the Legislature, and other State
officers. The Justices shall hold their Offices
for tie term of ten years from the first dav
of January next after their election, except
in case Justice be elected to fill vacancy
caused by the death, resignation, or inability
to act of any one of the Justices of the Su-
preme Court, in which case the Justice
selected shall hold his office during the bal
ance of the unexpired term proUided, that
the Justices Of the Supreme Court in Office
when this amendment takes effect shall hold
Office for the full term for which they were
severally elected, and thereafter one Justice
shall 90 out of office and his successor be
elected every two years. and the Justice
having the shortest term shall be the Chief
Justice.


Section declares that the District Judges
shall be elected at the same time, and also
provides that those in Office shall hold for the
full term of six years.


Section says the County Judges shall be
elected al. the same time, and shall hold their
offices for the term of four years from the first
day of January next after their election, and
does not provide that those in office shall
hold for four years; but the same section
does provide that the County and Probate
Judges of the city and county of San Fran
cisco shall hold their Offices fer the full term
of four years.


Now, what was the intent of the Legsla-
ture? Did it intend, as some contend, that
all the Judges of the different Courts should
90 out of Office on the first Of January, 1869 :?
or did it only intend that the County Judges,
except in San Francisco, should hold but two
years? Or is it, as some think, that the
proviso as to County Judges was in the orig
inaI amendment as offered, and was left out
in copying by some of the clerks of the Leg
islature?


As there are questions Of vital importance
to the State in this matter of amendment to
the Constitution, we would like to hear from
those who should know about the intent Of
the Legislature.

That, says the Bee, would be a compro-
mise like all others that have gone before
wholly in favor of the South-for Grant,
though proof against retel bullets, would
never live to serve out his term if Lee were
Vice President. The only security the next
President will have for his life will lie in the

Always In the child, the maiden, the wife,
the mother, religion shines with holy benignant
beauty of its own, which nothing on earth can
mar. Never yet was the female character per-
feet without the steady faith, piety Beauty,
intellect, wealth! they are like pitfalls dark on
the brightest day, unless religion throws her
soft beams around them to purify and exalt,
making twice glorious that which seemed all
loneliness before.


Religion is very beautiful in health or sick
ness, in wealth or poverty. Wecan never enter
the sick chamber of the good, but soft music
seems to float on the air, and the burden of
their song is, Lo peace is herel


Could we look into thousands of families to-
day, where discomfort fights sullenly with life,
we should find the chief cause of uuhappiness,
want Of religion in woman. o, religon benig-
nant majesty, high on tiny throne thou sittest,
glorious and exalted Not above the clouds,
for earth clouds come never between thee and
the truly pious souls; not beneath the clouds
for above these is heaven opening through a
broad vista of exceeding beauty.


Is religion beautiful? We answer all is des-
olation and deformity where religion is not.

We copy from the Dispatch the following
brief abstract of portion of the sermon deliver
ed in the First Presbyterian Church in Rich
mond on Sunday, the 18th instant:


His text was part of the 18th verse of chapter
Ill. of Galatians: "Christ hath redeemed us
from the curse of the law, being made curse
for us. The sermon was of the clear, argu-
mentative kind characteristic of the preacher,
whose @ mind Is not onl y logical, but what is call
ed legal. He spoke without notes, but so
thoroughly had he studied his subject and such
IS his power as an orator that his sermon was
as consecutive In its reasoning, and as explicit
and elegant IN It's diction as if it had been pre-
pared for the press. The line of argument was
something like the following:


There can be no argument where nothing is
granted. No one could reason with a man who
denied all truths, or even all errors. There are
some things which all men of common sense
concede. The only proposition which he would
take for granted was that man lisa sinner. Every
man not only knows himself to be sinner, but
that all men are sinners. Man being a sinner,
the speaker could only conceive of four things
which God might do to him: First, he might
connive at sin, wink at it, and treat the good
and bad alike. But surely no one could believe
this. The Bible declared the contrary to be
the fact. If the angels could conceive of God
DIS not Delng entlreiy pure, there would be silence
in Heaven for more than half an hour" and
weeping and wailing forever after The purity
ofGod, therefore, forbids the idea that he should
treat the good and bad alike Secondly, God
might annihilate the whole race No one could
prove that He had everannihilated anything that
He had made; and as the soul of man was the
breath of God, it would not do to argue that
he would annihilate this 1t would be "a con-
fesson that the devil had outwitted God; that
God had made a mistake in creating man that
one of his own creatures 1.-THE deviD could thwart
his designs. Thirdly, God might sweep the
human family into perdition The speaker had
often wondered that God had not done so and
he supposed that it might continue to be a
subject of wonder with him forever But God
had not chosen this course Fourthly, God
might redeem man from sin and this was what
ne had done. The speaker then inquired into
the nature of redemption among the Jews and
the Romans, saying the word translated IRE
deemer" might have been translated ''ayenger,"
or ''revenger,' or 'kinsman," in some places.
II know that my kinsman-Redeemer lveth,"
&c., would be fair translation.


The rest of the sermon I'VE have merely out
lined the beglnning) was an interesting and able
exposition of the doctrine of redemption. We
took no notes, and would,not wish the reader
10 do DIR. Plumer the injustice of supposng that
we have given any correct idea of his sermon.

Bear this In Mind.


The Democratic party was organised in

brief intervals it continued in power up to

other govern ment in the world labor was


better requited, and political and religious


liberty more universally enjoyed. There


was union between the States and happi-


ness and prosperity among the people.
When bad men sought to destroy the


Union, their first blow was at the Demo-


cratic party. They only hoped to accom-


plish this through the defeat and destruc-


ton of that party. By dividing its coun-


sells they secured its defeat That was


seven years ago, and what have we to-day?
A broken Union; ten of the States under
q military despotism; political and religious
liberty q by-word; the burdens of govern
ment more crushing than any other on
earth. Labor is remunerated with depre-
clated promises to pay, and the necessaries
OF life are at famine prices. Crime has
increased thousand fold, and vice is clad

Is it not time that the memory of the glori-
Gus past awakened the people to an ambi-
ton for glorious future? What the
country was, the democratic party made
it; what it is, is the work of the enemies
of that party. Is it not time that the peo-
pie began to reflect upon the necessity of
restoring that party to power, and with it
