* ORPACTTIES O# THE Weer Coast.
‘California contains 33,775 more square
miles than Great Britain, Ireland and
all. thé’ adjacent islands under the
“British flag. Were it-as densely populated a& the British home: territories,
wé-should have more‘ than ’ thirty-five
imillions of people in this State alone.
Take it altogether, says -the Brooklyn
eS , we have Httle, if any,
more wasteland than ie found in EngJand, Scotland and the other islands
_‘eonstituting the home possessions of
the British Government. They have
their mountains, lakes, bays, and sterdle plains, as well as we, and with our
infinitely better climate and far richer
~goil, we could do what Great Britain
‘annot—feed a population of that number, and more too. a
It is a subject worthy of statesman-"
like and philosophic thought, to inquire
into the future of the vast fertile re«ion which stretches away in all-directions, save to the West, where the
ecean. is seon to roll éa-the commerce
of the world; with its rich plains, its
Aeeming villages, ite productive foothills.and its_mouatains abounding in
minerals of all kinds, frem theimpenal
“gold itself tothe humbler and more
useful iron, together with all varieties
vof marble, granite, limestone and timDer inexhaustable. —
_. That this State mast ‘become a vast
empire of wealth, intelligence, refine‘ment and power,the future. will cer“
tainly reveal, when the commerce of
the far East—that which we point to
as the West—shall be held by that
grand expanding city which is stretch‘ing along the seashore, as imperial in
her opening: splendors as Carthuge or
Tyre or Babylon, or any of the ancient
capitals that have left their ghostly
shadows upon the waste of time.
In looking to the future,.we are not
looking to our own State alone, but
also to the vast region northward, in!
cluding the State of Oregon and the
Territory of Washington, which are
‘being ‘rapidly peopled and improved,
with their immense and fertile valleys,
‘where one may drive thirty miles without a stone grating on the carriage
wheel. It has been estimated that the
valley of Willamette, alone, would produce enough of breadstuffs to sustain
half a million of people; and when we
come. to overlook the prodigious expanse that can be seen from the summit of Mount Hood, with its immense
valleys and vast plains, we are persuaded that .it would sustain ten millions
of people. Imagine a section of country like the richer portions of Alameda,
two hundred miles long and fifty miles
wide, bisected by a large, navigable
river, with alternate tracts of timber
and luxuriant prairie; that is Willa
mette valley. And so down the scale
until we find thrifty little settlements
nestled among mountains, er looking
out mpon the rivers from the edge of
dense and seemingly impenetrable forests. That is Oregon. *
What, then, must be the condition
of the West coast twenty years hence,
after the overland railway shall have
been emptying its wealth, enterprise
and life upon our shores? We may
hardly dare to speculate upon this subject, tor fear of falliag into what might
seem like ridiculous extravagance, —
THE Toronto Telegraph says that a
few day’ since a geatleman died in
that city, according te whose will his
bedy, instead of being consigned to the
dust in the usual manner, was to be
handed over to a dector for dissection,
in order toserve the purposes of science. His directions were strictly complied with, and the cdrpse devoted to
the use indicated.
Out of twenty-eight portraits of the
Governors of the Staté of Connecticut
in the Senate Chamber at Hartford,
only two are represented as wearing
the moustache—John Winthrop and
Joseph R. Hawley—their terms ot office
being separated by an interval of more

At Steep Hollow, we-are-informed, a
good strike was made in gravel a few
days since, unmistakable indications of
a large’channel and big pay being
found.
« How many old-time miners have lodked in vain for that.channel! The big
chunks of rough rusty gold octasionally
found in the ravine, used to be a perfect
‘aggravation. Miner after miner-went
to look after that channel, found a
‘chank or two, worked month or two,
got broke, packed his blankets and
struck out for Alpha and Omega, cufsing his luck—sure it was there, yet
ard sure that he had not found it.
irginia Enterprise.
In the ridges between this city and
‘Steep-Holiow~ will yet be found as rich
hydraulic mines .as exist in the State.
At the Cascades and Hunnefaath’s, the
richest developments are now being
made,.and on the forks of Deer Creek,
below Alta, locations are being made.
We are informed that a fine district for
prospecting, with more unmistakable
Signs.of.rich channel deposits caunot be
found than where ‘parties are now engaged in prospecting in the vicinity of
Steqp Hollow. The miners haven’t
stepped finding the “big chunks” the
Enterprise speaks of, either. We saw
one of $133 picked up in that locality
last season.
A LEGAL ABsuRDITY.—The other
day a jury acquitted a lad charged
with the murder of aa Indian girl in
Berryessa Valley, on the ground that
he was under fourteen, and was not
supposed to know right from wrong.
Thus what appears to have been a deliberate and bratal crime went unpunished through a legal trick. There
may have been a period when the law)
was right in regarding as irresponsible
all persons uhder fourteen years of age,
says the Record, but that period has
long gone by, and it is safe to assert
that a California boy who cannot distinguish between right and wrong at
fourteen years of age, will never be
able todo so. In the case under notice, the victim was shot down while
sitting in her house, and the appearance of the body when found indicated
that the murderer had taken ‘deliberate aim. No cause was assigned for
the murder and it seems to have been
prompted by the most wanton brutality.
We have no hesitation in saying that
a boy of fourteen who could perpetrate
such a deed, cannot safely be turned
loose upun the community.
AFTER the battle of Sadowa the
at about the residence of Bismarck
were thronged with enthusiastic people
who vociferated for a speech. ‘After
many calls, Bismarck rose from his seat
in the most indifferent manner, and
saying to those with him, “if the battle
had gone the other .way they woald
have been here to mob me—such is
fame,” he walked to the balcony and
merely bowed hie acknowledgments,
with a few words of praise to the sgldiers who had won Sadowa.
PRECEPT AND EXaMPLE.—It. is’ Te
lated of the French Emperor that when
he left Paris to lead the army, he declined to have a tent provided for him.
A general remarking that it was an unnecessary denial, he cheerfully replied :
“What isthe goodof tents? We are
going to a country where we shall probably meet with houses’; besides, the
cows’ carpet will never fail us.” It
has been ascertained since, that three
trains from Metz were filled with the
Emperor's personal outfit—carriages,
cooks, beds, sofas, and all luxuries,
In Wyoming Territory the gentler
sex take quite an active part-in politics, and Mrs. and Miss prefixed to a
candidate is not unusual. The following advertisement appears in the Wyoming Tribune: “Attention, Ladies !—
A meting of women will be held at 8
o'clock this evening, at the house of
Mrs. W. Pease, for the purpose of selecting candidates for county officers at
the ensuing election. By order of the
committee.” Mrs. 8. H. Pickett was
nominated for the County Clerkship,
Mrs. M.H. Arnold for Superintendect
ot Public Schools. Mrs, M. E. Post is
e first meeting of the Nevada
eraty Society for the season, Was f
on Saturday night at Library Hall and
theroom wag crowded. The exefeises,
opened with a splendid instrumental
duett by Professors Muller and Blum,
which was heartily applauded_by the
audience. A Latim declamation was
pronounciation was faultless. aud his
elocution excellent. Miss Ada Davenport read a poetical selection with good
taste and was heartily applauded. A
well written essay was next. read by
Miss Emma Palmer, on the ‘benefits
derived from such exercises.as the Society had inaugurated. The production
was highly creditable. The Marseillaise Hymn was next performed by
Muller and Blum, followed by a quartette, “The Guard on the Rhine,” by
Messrs. Brown, Cross, Fairchild and
Glasson; both pieces were excellently
rendered. Next in order followed the
discussion on the fellowing question:
“Resolved that Prussia was justified in
the action: towards France.” The disputants were confined to the action of
the two mations up tothe 29th of
September. The affirmative was advocated by W. W. Cross, J. C. Palmer,
end J, B. Johnson; the negative by
Jobn Clark, M. S. Deal, add E. W.
Drummond. At the conclusion of the
debate, after briefly summing up the
argument, Judge Searle-decided that
the affirmative had the weight of argument on their side and therefore
ercises would commence promptly at
74 o’clock and close at 10, whether
business was completed or not. The
popular during the past Winter, and
the success of the enterprise is now beyond doubt. The next meeting will
be on Saturday evening, when the following exercises will take place :—

8d,. Music; 4th, reading selection by
Mrs, Nellie Chapman ; 5th, Music ; 6th,
