this converSation-was attributed
solely to the Emperor's illness. The
Empress herself did not apparently
share the Emperor's IDEAS. At the
farewell family dinner at st. Cloud,
she arranged with the chef de mu-
sique of the Grendiers de la Garde
to play the g Marseillaise as an
agreeable surprise to the Emperor !;
and it was only when she saw the
Emperor turning quite pale that
she stopped the music and burst in
to tears. At the moment she seems
to have recognized the truth. She
gave up the idea of insisting upon
the Emperor's starting in a parade
through Paris, and took him herself
to the railway station Of the Palace
of st. Cloud. Nothing of all this at
tracted the attention either Of the
court or of the people, nor had we
the slightest idea Of it when we saw
the brilliant arrival of the Emperor
at Metz.

Nh. Greeley has lately declared in
the Tribune that the Republican par
ty is by no means certain to win in
the Presidential struggle of 1872.
He says that "the Democrats can
make the contest a close and a
doubtful one by framing a mild plat
form and putting up candidates to
match"


No doubt Mr.. Greeley's view of
this subject is correct; and the great
reason that it is so is that there is
no longer any vital issue of principle
between the two parties. Universal
suffrage is established throughout
the length and breadth of the re-
public, and there no longer remains
a single point of contest from all the
terrible controversies connected with
the war. In fact, the principles of
the two parties are now substan
TALLY the same. They were so nearly
Identical in 1868 thatt the Democratic
National Convention came very near
nominating as it's Presidential can
didate one of the most distinguished
and uncompromising Republicans in
the country-and all admit now that
if they had nominated him he would
have been elected-and since then
the whole current of events, legisla-
tive and political, has tended to
wipe out the remaining fragments of
difference between Republicans and
Democrats. This has gone so far
that now there is actually no ques-
tion Of principle in dispute between
the two parties. Indeed, there is
not to-day a single Democrat of any
prominence who seriously proposes
or desires to revive the issues of the
war or of reconstruction.-IN. Y.

Gov. Warmoth, in his veto Of that
preposterous bill called the Ware
house Bill, announces automatically
that the constitutional limit Of the
States Indebtedness has been reach
ed, and that no more bonds can be
constitutionally issued. This declaf-
alton of the Governor will apply to
all the other issues of bonds contem-
plated in the various acts of the
1degislature which have been passed
this session. As no bonds can be
issued without the authority of the
Governor, we accept this statement
as an assurance that the State and
people will be protected from the
enormous increase of their burdens
that will result from any attempt to
put into practical operation various
schemes which have been passed
over his veto.


The game is thus blocked On the
speculators. Their various schemes
will be foiled. Those which receive
mere franchises from the State will
be unable to enjoy and exercise the
same from the want of capital and
credit, and their schemes, which are
to be based upon the credit of the
State, will utterly fail, because that
credit cannot be given.-NeW Or

The advocates of early rising, or
rather of excessively early rising, are
somewhat roughly handled in recent
article in the London Spectator, which
offers number of excellent reasons
why the inhabitants of temperate lat-
tudes should not initiate either the
sun or the lark in respect of the hour
OF getting out Of bed


The superstition in favor of early
rising is of unknown antiquity, but It
is not true, as is commonly supposed,
that Solomon advocated the practice.
He condemns the sluggard and ad-
vises him to take pattern Of the ant,
but says not q word about the pro.
priety Of going to ones daily work at
four or five o'clock in the morning.
IL was needless, perhaps, 'fer-him 70
do so. In the burning climate of
Judea all out of door and most in door
work must be performed before the
suns rays becomes vertical and for
the wise Hebrew to inform his people
of that would have been TO tell them
what they already knew.


The mistake that Western races
make is in initiating the habit of the
Orientals, without inquiring the rea.
son of it. In most parts of Europe
and North America work can generally
be better performed 10 the middle Of
the day than in the chill early hours.
To persons not engaged in manual
labor il Is positively injurious to tax
either the brain or the body before the
body is recruited with food, or the
food has had time to digest. Besides.
tho Orientals, with all the advantages
of early rising in their favor are as a
matter of fact neither so healthy nor
so long.lived as the Western races
who get up late.


ln answer to the suggestion, that
by retiring early we might rise early
and thus obviate most OF the real OBJ
jections TO the practice of early rising,
the Spectator very sensibly observes !:
"Tbe only effect of this change would
be to shorten the time for rest and
recreation, which is much too short al.
ready. In the fierce competition of
civilized life men would work twenty.
four hours if they could, and would
assuredy work through the whole of
the additional daylight secured by
their change of habit" The only
sensible rule to adopt is to reject all
absolute rules on the subject, and allow
persons to follow their own tastes.
If late rising is to make man unbap-
py and i'll, by all means let him get
up early but don't force him to do SO
merely because under certain climatic
conditions, which do not apply to him,
the practice is Indispensable Nec

Wealth, and power, and prosperity,
how peculiarly transitory and uncer-
tain But religion dispenses her choic-
est cordias in the seasons of exigence,
in poverty, in exile, in sickness, and in
death. The essential superiority of
that support which is derived from
religion is less felt, at least it is less
apparent when tho Christian is in full
possession of riches, and splendor,
and rank, and all the gifts of nature
and fortune. But when all these are
swept away by the rude band OF time

TIRED FAcuLrrEs.---Usually, when
the machinery of the mind runs bard
from any cause, the proper remedy is
not books, but something totally dif-
fcrent. Reading is apt to continue in

is demanded is an entire change of
sphere, calling into play an entirely
different set of faculties. just here
arises the necessity of amusement in
its strict sense, as distinguished from
mere physical recreation-somethfng

Mourn not for the things that are past,

Scatter cares, when they come, just as fast


AS the wind scatters foam from the billow
Sigh not for the loved that are gone,


For their hours with joy may be teeming;
l. the sky has no rainbow at morn,


It's banners, at eve, may be streaming.
Weep not for the lost of thy treasure,


From the seed that is sown comes the grain
And often the sw eetest of pleasure


Freely flows from the labors of pain.
Grieve not that some hopes have been blasted
Flowers the brightest soon fade away
Fruit the richest lips ever tasted,


Hangs from the tree that springs from decay
Take the world easy-sunshine and rain


Murmur not o'er the things that have fed.
Take the world easy-losses and gain


And let the 81 dead past bury its dead"
Hope on, hope ever, always for the best


Think not of darkness, gloom and dsmay
Bid the troublesome past go to It's rest


Ever hope for the bright coming day.
Press on, strike on, and fight the good fight,
Forget all thy moments of sorrow
Do what you do, with all of thy might,

communication appeared in our columns
last week headed " Indian Affairs" and refer
ring to the lower end of the county. The fol-
lowing quotation from the article mentioned,
contains its pith and substance and speaks vol
umes:


"1u that section the indians are committing
depredations almost in sight of the Hoopa Reser-
vation. Lately they have killed four head of
cattle belonging to myself and partner, worth
one hundred and seventy-fve dollars and no eff
forts are being made by those in authority to
punish the perpetrators of these acts at present,
or to prevent similar outrages in the future"


Are not these highly criminal accusations d?
Worse yet, we cannot help believing them true
AT different times we have felt it our duty to
call attention to the management at the Hoopa
Valley Reservation Our remonstrances have
caused the removal of at least one Government
Agent at that place, but so far as we are in
formed, there has been no change in its manage
ment. Under every Agent, the Indians are
given written passes, furnished with guns and
ammunition, and permitted to go abroad and
shift for themselves. The only reason we can
assign for this is that it may be that Govern
inShV Pio'iues 81 many fdtlOns IOr tne Indians,
and if they find their own living, its estimated
cost goes into the pocket of the Agent. This is
our answer to one of the questions propounded
Our idea is that when armed Indians belonging
to the Reservation are met WITH the legal course
would be to report them to the Commandant of
the fort. The Indian Agent represents the Gov
ernment and if he is an honest man, would see
that our citizens were compensated in full for
all damages sustained through the Indians per-
mitted to wander outside of the Reservation.
We doubt rot our people are fully convinced
that we cannot rely upon having justice done
through the officials at the Hoopa Reservation
There is but one course for us to pursue Let
us labor for its removal. Circulate petitions for
its removal throughout the county. Inform our
Congressman what public sentiment dictates,
and demand that the red devils, who for so many
years have blightod the prosperity of Lower
Trinity, be transported far away-the farther
off the better. The best thing for all or any of
us to do is to rid our locality of the Indians as
soon as possible.

JOURNAL, referring to the near approach of the
time when State and county nominations must

is preferable to the Crawford county plan, and
in that we certainly admire his judgment. So

failed in the accomplishment of the object aimed
at. We are open to conviction, and as this is a

DoN'- BE TOO SENSITIVE are
some people, yes, many people, ALWAYS
looking out for sights. They cannot
carry on the daily intercourse of the
family, without some offence is designed.
They are as touchy as hair triggers. If
they meet an acquaintance IN the street
who happens to be pre-occupied with
business, thev attribute his abstraction
in some mode personal to themselves,
aud take umbrase accordingly. They
lay on others the fault of their irritabil-
ity. A fit of indigestion makes them
see impertinence in everybody they
come in contact with. Innocent per-
sons who never dreamed Of giving Of
fence, are astonished to find some un-
fortunate word or some mOmentary tac-
iturnity, mistaken for an insult. To
say the least, the habit is unfortunate.
1t is far wiser to take the more charita-
bic view of our fellow beings, and not
suppose slight is intended, unless the
neglect is open and direct After all,
too, life takes Its use in q great degree
from the color Of our own mind. Ifwe
are frank and generous, the world treats
us kindly. II ON the contrary we are
suspicious, men learn to be cold and
cautious to Us. Let q person get the rep
utation Of being tOuchy, and everybody
is under more or less restraint, aud In
this way the chances Of an imaginary
offence are vastly increased.
