FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 187f.
Commencing.
The Spring travel towards this coast
has already commenced. The number
of passengers coming daily by railroad
is already Jarge, and us the weather
becories more’ pleasant the tumbers
will increase. Among tlié arrivals are
maay immigrants. These come for
the purpose of bettering their condition in life, and are willing to enter
upon any work. which promises a fair
remuneration, Among them are mechanics and laborers, all eager to obtain employment. All who do so will
add toj the préduction of the State, and
in this mach be a benefit.
There is another class of travelers
westward bound who will benefit the
‘State. Among those are many who
occupy prominent places ia the National councils, merchants from the great
marts of the East, aiid: eapitalists who
come to look.after the chances of in—
vestment. The mere pleasure seekers
also come, to see the wonders of California. All these classes of visitors
benefit the State, more or less. Becoming familiar with its resources,ite char—
acterand ite needs, they go back to
their homes satisfied ‘as to the ‘extent
knowledge, of the State becomes the
cemmon stock of those with whom they
ate brodght in contract, and the advantages for business on this coast are better understood, just in proportion: as
the returned visiter possesses: advantas
ges for making known the results of
his investigation.
-_ Californians sheuld—be—especially
pleased to lvarn that Grant, Speaker
Blaine and. other leading men of the
country propose. visiting this coast.—
Matters.of legislation, involving great
interests. to this. State, although they
inay be looked upon as of little moment .in other quarters, are continually coming up, and would bé worth a
great deal to the inhabitants of this
coast to have men in Congress and in
the Cabinet who, from personal obser~
vation and the interchange of opinions
with the people, have become familiar
with the interests of the State.
The opening of. the Spring travel on
the Overland Rajlroad, indicates that
the number of passengers coming to
this State will be far in excess of any
season yet. Many of those who come,
expecting large wages and light work,
will of course be disappointed, but for
the small, capitalist and the earnest,
willing worker, California offers as favorable opportunities as any country in
the world. No man whe is willing
and able te work need want for em.
ployment in this State, and that too at
far better wages than he can get in
the East or Europe.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT;—We learn
from putties who arrived from California oo Tuesday, says the Virginia City
Enterprise, that the passenger train
from thé west met with an accident
which, very fortunately did not prove
serious. When the train was about
one mile from Truckee, and belore the
engineer could whistle down the brakes,
the engine struck a large boulder that
had rolled down from the mountain
side, The engine was badly damaged
and the tender thrown from the track.
Although the accident appears to baye
been extensive, nobody was hurt, and
the passengers in the sleeping car were
not even aroused from their slamber.—
The train was detajned for some, not
arriving in Reno until 5 o’clock yesterday morning,
THE accounts of the freight traffic
through Omaha, Eastward, recalls the
most imaginative descriptions of the
wealth of the Orient. One day forty
cars loaded with tea and silk passed
through ; the next 4,900 pounds of silver bullion age received, followed by
ten car loads of silver ore for shipment
to Wales, two silver bricks worth $},leather, to be manufactured ip Boston, .
ExTRAORDINARY Cask or HypRroPHOBIA.—A physi
gives the following pafticulars of an
extraordifiary, cage ofbydrophobia,
whieh occu in that place. -About
four yeats ago two mea had a fight in
}a saloon. They were both powerful
. men, and. they had along and bloody
tussle with each other, While fighting,
one of the men had a finger badly bitten by the other. The finger became
inflamed, and the inflammation extended to the whole arm, and for some
months it was expected the man would
die, but he recovered and the wound
healed up; but as goon as the wound
had healed he began to show signs of
insanity or madness. He fancied,when
sleeping, that the man who had. bit
him was always attacking him, and he
would wake up in a great rage, striking in every direction at his antagonist, and so he would remain for some
time, betore the delusion passed off.—
Shortly aftee this he began to see the
man’s shadow in the water, and in all
other fluids mixed with water, but -it
would not be visible in a looking glass.
Other symptems increased the first
twe--years, and were only exhibited
once a month at-fnll moon. At the
close of the third. year, at every full
moon, he funcied the moon was close
by, and that between him and the
moon stood his old antagonist in a
threatening attitude. He would rave
‘and be’ farious for abeat twenty-four
hours, and then the spasm. would pass’
“and Fichpeas Of the Pacific coast. The . away ; but in the meantime he would
not attack any other person. The novelty of the case puzzled all the physicians in that city, and in that part of
the State, but it terminated at the last
full moon. Just as the moon was risjug he happened’ to be at one of the .
docks on the Maumee. river, and fancied the moon and _ his rival were preparing for a fight. He sprang to mect
him, jumped into the water and was
‘drowned before assistance could reach
him. The name of the man thus.afflicted was Patrick Clair, an old resi<
dent-of Toledo, and at one time an ac:
tive business man. The man who pit
him was @ stranger, whom nobody
knew, and was never seen afterwards.
ATTEMPT To EXeERCI8E Woman
troit, Mich., Post of Murch 7th, says :
This, like many other villages that
make any pretentions to being fast, has
its sorosis, on the roll of membership
of which are to be found the names of
all the strong minded women, so called.
Their worthy President, Laving read
Mrs, Woodhull’s memorial and attended'the Lansing Convention, came to
the conclasiga that their natural enemy, man, had unwarily left open a
gap through which they could pass to
the ballot, and so to office. A meeting
was called, and twenty-one aggrieved
and suffering ladies made a descent en
masse upon the office of registration,
They found three frail and detenceless
men constituting the board, and, by
arts unpublished, got their names reg~
istered high on the roll of fame. This
was on Saturday. Monday was cor
poration election. The day came and
with it, men, boys and-dogs, trom vils
lage and meres to witness the novel
scene, At 11-30 they mustered in regular military style, a Deputy U.S, Marshal at the head. They marched down
our principal street, followed by a rabble of grinning boys. _ Arriving at the
polls they were greeted by the sneers
and comments of a hundred or two ot
expectant men, who fell back in goad
erder, allowing them to surround the
polis, the crowd then closing in, shut~
ting ap every avenue of retreat. ‘They
tendered their ballots, but our veners~
able President refused to take them.
They insisted and he protested. Meantime the crowd became restless and
pressed forward that they might hear,
making it rather uncomiortable fer the
ladies, At this staye of the proceedings a lawyer asked that be might be
heard tor bis or their cause. He talked
of humanity, justice, and law, but to
no purpese. The would not
violate their oaths to support the Constitution of this State. ‘The game was
up, and now Jor the retreat: bowing
their way through the crowd come the
crestfullea ladies, eXpressing «disgust
with politics, men, and ever themselves, and it’s-a noted fact that nota
lady can be found in the Villiage that
is willing to admit that she ever atx
tended an election.
In Connecticut the Republicans, ac~
cording to lawst news, have three Congressmen, both branches of the Legis—
latare, and the election of Governor is

SUFFRAGE—FUNNY SCENES.—T he De. . ”
‘ia doubt, the majority being from . .
yo, Sr., a gentleman aged ap
of sixty years, and well known throfghout leading citizens; came y Sear
‘losing his life last Sunday by a jac
“belonging to Edmund Wolf. — Mr.
and, not finding him at home, started
across-a field after him. On the way
ovet he stopped ata pair of bars to
look at a jack, which was grazing in
an adjoining field. The animal had
casion he exhibited his treacherous
disposition by jumping over the bars,
knocking Mr. Brown down in his leap,
seizing him by the chin and throat
with bis teeth, tearing out a portion of
the flesh, nearly baring the windpipe,
at: the same time: failing upon and
stamping his breast with his knees.
Mr, Brown kept his presence of mind,
eaught the animal by the nostrils and
choked him off, but he renewed the attack immediately, biting and mangiing. the lower portion of the left arm
and hand ina terrible manner, Mr. B.
choking him off as at first, and the
jack renewing the attack. But he was
now bleeding freely, the left arm was
‘powerless, and he was fast Josing bis
power of defense. ‘Fle unequal contest could have lasted but a minute or
two longer, when ‘luckily Mr. Frank
Dowd, who was passing, heard his
criés “anid rai to his assistance. and
beat the jack off with a rail which he
took from the fence.
After getiing the jack off him, Mr.
Brown waked a few steps to the fence,
where his strength failed him, and an
express wus procured which conveyed
him:te his home, where he now. lies ia
a very precarious condition. — He rests
aswell us could be expected, complains
of feeling sore inwardly, but Drs. Wolf
and Rannels think that there are no
internal injuries, and. while they do
not consider that he is out of danger,
they think that he will survive his in
juries, with the probability of the loss
of the use of his lett hand.
“The jack is of pure Spanish blood,
and has always been a pet, his mother
dying when he was but a few days
old. He has always been regarded as:
the most docile, and at the same time
the most cowardly animal on the
place, which makes his owners entirely
unable to explain ‘his vicious disposition a8 shown in this attack; unless he
has been plagued and annoyed by the
-goodstor=nuthing boys who run over
the hils.on, Sundays, tearing down
fences, tormenting people’s stock, and
practicing every uther species of mischief.
Skating.
California has\gone off on rollers.
From Siskiyou to San Diego skating
rinks have been started and the people
roll morning, noon and night. The
rain will keep people from Church but
not from the skating rink. The old
and young, male and female, indulge
in the healthful pastime, and all
seem to enjoy the sport, Nevada is affected by a recent.and severe attack of
the skating fever. Everybody skates,
except the cripples, and they go to see
their more: favored friends. fall. We
have two rinks, both well patronized,
and a third is being built. There are
now no less than seven rinks in operas
tion or contemplation in the county.
Oare Candidates,
The Grass Valley Union of yesterday gives the names of more candidates
for county offices: Ameng them we
notice the following not already men=
tioned by ue: For Road Commissioner
on the Republican ticket, Bob Scott is
mentioned, On the Democratic side
William Henry Mitchell, of the Wiex
consin ‘Hotel, is spoken of for County
Treasurer. John C. Coleman, Sam
Granger, Peter Johnson, A, B. Brady
and Martin Ford are spoken of as candidates for Assembly,
Danger.
Yesterday morning the weather was
quite cold and the signs were tavorable
to clear weather, though the rain continued. The rain has been a blessing
to the minera and farmers, but should
it be followed by « frost the peach
crop would be “nipped in. the bud,”
Last year the peaches were nearly all
killed in this locality by frost and the
chances apefavorable for short crops

In that vast assemblage, whieh’ hel
its breath with suspense as the boys
pat their hands,in phe-wheels to draw,
stood general‘ abd private, master and
slave, mistress and maid, the millionaire and the rugged. boatman, all
drawn together by that common desire
—the sudden acquisjtion of the yellow

trom the prize wheel $50,000. We were
not long in discovering the lucky one,
a poor son. of Africa, whose attire proved
him tobe one of that abused class of
stevedores. He ‘dashed from the assembinge shouting, and frantically
giving thanks in bis peculiar dialect,
to his God, for deliverance from Spanish slavery. I will say, that.I utters

sold in fractions, several parties press

\Many were the complaints of those who
had ventured and lost, or having ventured and won, cursed their luck for
not doing so boldly, by buying the
‘whole of thechucky. ticket, in place of. a
fraction. : a

lugubrious expression: of countenance,
“Fcame within two numbers of the
largest prize,”

“So you did,” spoke atall man with .
@ treacherous face, who had been looking:over Jack’a shoulder, “As:it is> of
no use to you, Jet me have it to show
seme friends what cruel tricks fortune,
the jade! sometimes plays us.”
“You can hive it,” answered Jack,
and was about to hand it to him, when
I yi ame his hand, saying—
“Keep it. Jack; ifit is of any use to
him it is to you.” :
The man scowled, and said it was
none of my business; but if Jack was
willing,to-take a doubloon fer it, he
would give it. Why I did sol cannot
say, but I urged Jack to refuse the offer, which he did. ; fy
“fhe drawing was over, and the immense ape, had dispersed—some
to their hemes, but by far the larger
pertion to the clubs and cates, the
lucky ones to receive the congratula~
tions of their friends, the others to talk
over the events of the day, and look
forward to the next drawing, which
would take place in seventeen days,
FRENCH AFFAIRS»—The Thiers Government at-last accounts had defeated

has existed, If the, Thiers’ Government should putdown the insurgents

Danger Ahead, . .
Asingle spark may kindle a flame that wil}
consuige a city, and @mall filnients iieglegtga ,
may efd in fatal digorders. Hearing ae:
in mind, let the first symptoms of debility or
hervoys prostration be met proinptly with
invigorating treatment; Foremost among
the vegetable tonics of thé age stands Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, and-whenever the
vital. powers seem to languish,er. there is
any reason to suspect that the animal functions essential to the sustenation rification of the body are imperfectly performed
this invaluable’ invigorant and antiseptic
gestion
always produces weakness of the bodily powers. Sometimes it happens that the appetite
demands more food than the stomach can digest! though not more, perhaps, than is required to keep up the full strength of the
frame, The object.under such cirenmetances
isto inerease the digestive capacity of the
assimilating organ, so a3 to make it-equal to
the duty imposed upon it by the appetite,
and capable of supplying the building material of the system ‘as fast Sst is required.
This object is fully accomplished by the use
of the, Bittera.: They tone and gently stimulate the cellular membrane which secretes
the gastric. juice, and the resuitis that the
solvent is mingled with the food in sufficient
quantity to convert all its nourishing parti‘clés into pure and wholesome element. If,
on the other hand, there isa deficiency of
digestive power, the effect‘of the’ tenie is to
cases out of twenty, headache, nausea, ner‘yousness, fainting fits, spasme-and, indeed,
‘moat of the casual aches and ‘pains to which
humaulty is subject, proceed, primarily from
indigestion complicated with. biliousness ;
‘and for both” these complaints Hostetter’s
‘Stomach Bitters are reconimended as a speedy
‘and certaln remedy.
