aie 6 ee THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1871. Congressman Johnsen. Jamés A: Johtison has “announced himself as-a-candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, and he has made a speech defining his. posi‘tion, at Marysville, which shows con« clusively that-in principle he is opposed to subsidies, while in practice he isa strong subsidy man, having advocated and voted for nearly every subsidy which was brought up While “he was a member of Congress. Johnson “goes for some” of his Democratic friends without gloves; having declared in that speech that “thedive per cent. subsidy act was the most infamous scheme ever inflicted upon a people,” Since this five per cent. subsidy act was the work of the last Legislature of this State, a Democratic bedy, Johnson evidently don’t like that phase of the subsidy question. Jolhinson’s speech demonstrates another fact, namely that no man can ignore this subsidy question. It must be met. “he Congressman’ Wrote tO tle Méeidocind Democrat, ad= vising that the question be ignered, advice which; when he arrived in this State he did not find it healthy, in a political point of view, to follow, and --he straightway~ made haste to declare himself in principte against the practice, while “at the sume time he was forced to admit his practice to the contrary. The truth is, both the: Deniccratic representatives from California in Congress have been advocates of subsidies, as may be shown from the rec__erda; and that one of them hus already been furced to go back on his record, shows the strength of public opinion on this matter. The Position of France. ~—-Paris-is ina more deplorable tondi< tion now than when the artillery of the Germans were thundering at the forts, ‘the city from communication with the outer world. Mobs are more dangerous than organized hostile artoies, and Paris is in the hands of the mob.’ This powerful erganization has defied the authorities, and already leading men have been brutally murdered to satiate the passions of the mob. There seems to be little hope of quelling the disturbance, except by force from the. outside of the city, und it may be that the better classes would hail the return of the German armies as deliverers trom horrors more dreadful than any yet sustained by their bleeding country. The lives of Thiers, Vinoy and Aurelles are threatened by the mob, and the authorities seem paralyzed. It is claimed that the imperialists are furuishing money to the insurgents, in the hope that the disturbances may result in the re-establishment of the Empire. Napoleon has arrived at Dover, and is no doubt awaiting the opportunity when he may safely return to France. Treasurer Spinner has decided that under the rules of the Treasury Department, Postmasters are authorized to receive mutilated currency for its full value in payment for postage stamps, when in the case of United States notes not more than one twentieth part of the nete is missing, and in cases of fractional currency when not more than one tenth is missing. When such notes or fractional cutrency are mutilated beyond the standard referred to, the’only place where they may be redeemed is.at the United States Treasury. A correspondent of the Scientia American writes that he has seen a steam boiler advertised which saves 33 per cont, Of fuel; a valve which saves 15 per cent; a governor which saves 10 per cent; cat-off which saves 10 per cent; a fire-grate which saves20 per ceut; metal packing aid damper regus lator which saves 12 per cunt; and a lubricator which will save 1 per cent. Combining all these improvements, an. . engize would; he thinks, ruin itself aod produce an additional 1 per cent of fuel which might be used for domestic pur: poses. ab Grass Valley Items. orks yalcy Den otfawreratt. Yoral of the youngsters of Grass Valley have fixed up a lottery s¢heme, ‘aud they call it a-Gift Concert, Bound books of tickets have been issued, and blue pencil marks on white paper. This makes the scheme a patriotic one, for we have in the tickets the red, whites and blue. “In the boys’ lottery there are 100 chances and 25 prizes, The prizes are all to be paid in coin. The highest prize is $5, and the lowest 25 cents. “The scheme is a genuine one, and the boys say that itis to be cons ducted on the square. The object is to raise money for the purchase of a wardrobe for a band of negro minstrels which the managers of the lottery intend to establish. We yesterday had the pleasure of examining a fine map, made by H.S8. Bradley, of the County Surveyor’s office, which deleneates Alta Hill. All the locations on the hill are represented on the map, and the course of the old river channel under the hill is indicated according to explorations under ground, The course of the old channel but those who know the hill best, agree as tothe course. One thing is sure, according to the careful survey made by Mr. Bradley, and the known depths of the various_shafts_on Alta. Hill, and that is, the Altona shaft bot’ +om-is—en-—lower— bed rock than any other yet sunk on that part of the famous hill. Altona shaft bottoms about four feet lower than Alta Company No. 2’s shaft did. The interesting question then presents itself: “Did the old river main channel run op the higher or the lower bed rock?” The answer is ob~ vious? More Skates. _._ eck es Mr. Sayers yesterday received 16 additional pairs of skates, and he now has in all about 75 pairs for the accommodation of skatists. There will now be less difficulty in procuring skates in. the hall. Late Papers. Weare indebted to Spencer & Pattison for copies of Harper’s and Frank Frank Leslie’s Pictorials, which arrived by the Eastern mail yesterday. Both papers contain a large number of illus~ trations and interesting reading matter, Roll of Honor. The following names are on the roll of honor of the Birchville school, for the month ending March 12th, J. A. Ford, teacher: Katie O’Connor, Emma-Powell, Michael O’Connor.

Hereis an exttact, im re~ prepared briefs : The dill donated the enormous and unprecedented subsidy of $20,000 per rmile~enough tobuild and equip the road, making the franchise a free gift tothe incorporators. A first class railroad, running thro’ rich and fertile valJey of the San Joaquin, was actually presented by this bill toa half dozen rich men in Stockton. After the bill became a law, it was discovcred that it would run'nearly parallel with and nec-~ essarily be in opposition to the Central Pacific Railroad Company. the latter having already commenced running 4 branch up this same San Joaquin valley. The people needed a road to hold in check the Central Pacific people. After they had voted to give their money fur it, the Central Pacific people inaugurated a fight against it, and the city and the county were enjoined from the issuance of their bonds. The Attorney General took the fight off the hands of the Central Pacific, and the latter tuok the other side of the case. It was an infamous thing from beginning to end, and a sham fight throughout, made up to deceive the,people, and with no particle of honesty init. He predicted,and if his prediction did not prove true, he woult not bea candidate; that the sase would be dismissed, as it would expire by thé Statute of Limitation, as it had ealy-a-short-time fartherto run, He predicted that it would be dismissed at the April term of the Supreme Court , or, if not, that it would be declared against the law. , } . Foonrsu-Moruens.—The infatna-. tion of those mothers who persist in substituting corn flour and nursery biscuits for the milk intended by Nature for very young babies, received, the other day,a severe practical rebuke. Dr. Dowd, giving evidence at an inquest held upon the body of an infant,-aged ten weeks, said that “the-poor-tittle thing was brought to me in a dying state; the body was very much emaciated—in fact, only skin and bone— and, although nearly three montus old, did not weigh more than five pounds, The-post mortem examination—-showedthat all the organs were healthy, and the stomach contained farinaceous food. The cause of death was wasting; in {ack Byarvation from want of milk, and don’t approve of corn flour being. = to young children in such a case.” r. Lankester, in summing up, said, “milk, and not corn flour, is the proper food for infants ; failing breast. milk,the best substitute is new milk, or the condensed Swiss milk, which has all the prrper ties of mother’s miJk, and it will ikewise keep any length of time. ‘T'o my own knowledge,children have been fed on it for months, with the best possible resuits.” Now, this Swiss milk is convenient, and is within the reach of every one, and sbould be found in every nursery,—Hnglish Paper.

What was this mystery no mortal could explain, so Madam, being a true Boston woman, called a medium, and the medium called a spirit from the vasty deep. Then did this spirit unfold a long anu and excursive tale which, condensed, was to the effect that “she was the woman from whose head tne hair had been cut just after she was—bang!’—and that a choke. would always attend that particular switch. Furthermore, this instructive spirit observed that all false hair retained more or less of the personality of its original owner, and that this was the cause of much insanity and many criminal idiosyncracies in women, .

This timely action is generally and deservedly applauded. Une hundred and fifty cars ot coal passed Port Jervis in one day, destined to points east. Ir North Carolina politics can be judged by the spirit of its newspapers, an amicable sentiment is not prevaleat, For instance, a Wilmington paper, anticipating the elevation of the President of the State Senate to thegubernatorial office, says “that he will make. such a Governor as North Carolina knew before the North belched forth its scum to fatten upon the South, and before the dregs of the Southern people rose to the surface to Meet them.” .
