The POPULAR SENTIMENT For BooTH.--We
have received letter from a leading Republi-
can of San Francisco indorsing the course of the
Transcript in advocating the nomination of New
ton Booth as candidate for Governor. The
writer says: "a strong element of the party is
set for Booth as a starter for more adherents
aud although not active and pronounced in San
Francisco it is none the less strong" day or
two ago prominent Republican from the lower
portion of this county, informed us that in his
locality there was no division of sentiment
"The Republicans" he said, I" were unanimous
for Booth" About the same state of feeling ex-
lists in this locality, and we feel confident that
the fourteen delegates from Nevada county can
be counted on for Booth in the Convention
This advocacy of Newton Booth is not of that
character as would induce his friends to give
him factious support. 1t grows out of a set
tied conviction that he is the best man for the
interests of the State and of the party. Posses
sing character above reproach, he has ever
been firm and consistent Republican He has
supported the cause with zeal and ability, and
at the same time in such a gentlemanly manner

to respect the man. For this reason even the
Democracy is forced to admit that Newton Booth
is unassaiabe. He is man who can be trusted
to do right even were his sentiments on any
given issue unknown, and such man the State
requires for n Governor. We feel confident if
we may judge from the sentiment in Nevada
county, that Newton Booth will DE the next Re-
publican nominee for Governor.-Nevada Tran

ANOTHER CELEBRITY GONE.


One by one the oddities of Montgomery steeet
are disappearing, and yet little while longer
and there will be none. 1t is not many weeks
since the arrest of the " Gutter Snipe" and his
commitment to Stockton, and now another we'll
known character has gone the same path. For
years past a swarthy little man with a turbaned
head, and feet encased in red slippers, has de-
lighted to promenade backwards and forwards
in the sun between California and Clay streets
He was harmless little fellow, always neatly
dressed and very fond of decking himself with
Emery. Some called him "The Stranger"
others the "Jewelry Man, but very few know
his history, and as he is unable to speak and
could write no other language than the Hindo-
stan, he was somewhat of mystery. Twenty
years ago he came to California from Calcutta as
professional jugger, aud after making some
money in the State, took passage by way of PAN
anna for New York. He arrived at the former
place just at the time of the insurrecton against
foreigners and during the attack received a
blow in the mouth from macheta which com
pletely deprived him of the power of speech
Latterly he has shown signs of insanity, and
yesterday it was found necessary to arrest him.
So he conveyed to the City Hall to be ex-
amined by the Commissioners of Lunacy, and
the kindly gates of Stockton will soon open for
him. SCRIBBLER.

One little word
So often heard,
How much from it we borrow;
And build on air
Such castles fair,
For that bright day-To-morrow.
When cares oppress
The troubled breast,
And often when in sorrow,
We hide a tear,
Suppress fear,
And think upon-To-morrow
How very true
And yet how few
Would willingly believe me;
Were l to say


That happy day
Was made but TO deceive thee.
This day goes by,
Altho' we sigh
Much from the next we borrow,
But when to-day
Has passed away,
Where Is our bright Tomorrow
1t is not here,
To dry the tear,
Or yet, to soothe the sorrow;
Why, then, do we
SO trust in thee,
Untold, untried, Tomorrow

Where is now the good Elijah's God
To bow the Heavens again,
When all these mines of gold are closed
For want of snow and rain1
When Israel, in Ahab's days,
Despised Gods commands,
Then rain was stopped and they distressed
With famine, in their lands.
Who will now take Elijah's place
The place he took on Carmels brow
And ask of God, with like strong faith,
For rain on Trinity, now2
Lord, let his blessed mantle fall
On some one, in that place.
Where few there on Thee to call
Or seek Thy smiling face.
But they blaspheme Thy holy name;
They mock Thy holy word;
On all their works a curse doth rest
Still they despise Thee, Lord.





In wrath by Thee, but love,
To draw our thoughts from earthly things
To things in Heaven above.
Show mercy yet to Trinity!
Lord their sins forgive.
Give them to see their sinful ways,
And turn to Thee, and live.
In lieu Of wintry rain and snow,
Give showers of love divine;
Convert them from their sinful ways,
And give them Heavens mine
That mine. which was by sin once closed
Now opened by Jesus blood
Dear Savior, leal these miners therel
Give them claim with God
No one shall want for water then,
Who takes this true gold mine
That fountain Christ has opened
Is free to all mankind
It's precious waters will not fail
To wash off all transgression-
The pure gold will sure be found
On the bedrock of salvation
For Thy names sake, dear Savior,
Who was for sinners slain,
Hear our prayer forgive-and save
Amen-yea, and amen.

A bad temper is curse to its posses

wherever it is found. 1t is allied to
martyrdom to be obliged to live with
one of complaining temper. To hear
one eternal round complaint and mur.
muring, to have every pleasant thought
scared away by their evil spirit, is Sore
trial. 1t is like the sting of scorpion


"a perpetual nettle, destroying your
peace, rendering life burden Its in
fluence is most deadly; and the purest
and sweetest atmosphere is contamina-
ted into a deadly miasma wherever this
evil genius prevails. 1t has been said
truly, that while we ought not to let the
bad temper of others influence US, it
would be as unreasonable to spread a
plaster Of Spanish flies upon the skin,
and not expect it to draw, as to think
Of family not suffering because of the
bad temper of any of its inmates. One
string out of tune will destroy the mu-
sic of an instrument, otherwise perfect

That true politeness which has its
root In real, unselish consideration for
others is within the reach Of every one.
The thing that is conventionally impo-
lite in London, may be the height of
good breeding in Pekir, but these are
surface matters. Whether you touch
your hat when you bow to woman, or
take it quite off,or leave it on your head,
does not so much signify but when you
see that she is sheltered from cold or sun
glare it is real thing, and grows out of
the unselfish perception on your part and
a real need on hers. Selfishness is at the
heart of all the bad manners which Of
fend us. Let each individual educate in
himself or herself a keen sense of the
right Of others, and we shall have no
jostling at concert or theater-no filling
up a seat in railroad car with one per-
sons bundles while another stands-no
opening windows on other peoples
backs-no loud talking when others
want to listen to song or lecture-in
short, we shall inaugurate the millenni-
um at once.

If you wish TO cultivate a gossipping,
meddling, censorious spirit in your
children, be sure when they come home
from church. a visit, or any other place
where you do not accompany them, to
ply them with questions concerning
what everybody wore; how everybody
looked, and WHIST everybody said and
did; and if you find anything in all this
to censure, always do it in their hearing.
You may rest ASSURED, il you pursue a
course of this kind, they will not return
to you unladen with intelligence; and
rather than that it should be uninterest-
ing, they will, by degrees, learn to en-
belliSh in such manner as shall not fail
to call forth remarks and expressions of
wonder from you. You will, by this
course, render the spirit of curiosity
which is so early visible in children, and
which, if rightly directed, may be made
the instrument of enriching and enlar-
ging their minds vehicle of mischief,
which shall serve only to narrow them.

heartily accepted the abolition
movement. This was especially
true of the more intelligent and
well-informed. Among the colored

seeing its religious as well as hu-

something in the same direction,
arousing public attention and quick

arose in the person of Frederick
Douglass, who was destined to play
an important port in the great
drama then in progress. In him
not only did the colored race, but
manhood itself find a worthy re-
preventative and advocate; one who
was a signal illustration not only of
self-culture and success under the
most adverse circumstances, but of
the fact that talent and genius are
"color blind" and above the acci-
dents Of complexion and birth. He.
too, furnished an example of the ter
rible necessities of slavery, and its
purpose and power to crush the
human soul; as also of the benign
energies of freedom to arouse, to
develop, and enlarge its highest and
noblest faculties; the one aiming,
and, he says, almost succeeding in
making him a mere mindless and
purposeless chattel; the other actu-

name and labors with the anti-slav-
