* 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 \ gi 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 :— 1st,music; 2d, reading the minutes ; 8d,.
