‘A Kick From Piety Bilt.
‘An incident that occurred at Tuesday morning’s fire om Gethsemane
street has given rise’to a “‘kick’”’ from
residents of‘ that portion of the city.
Three years ago more or less a fire};
company organized there and the city
trustees equipped it with some secondhand hose and an old cart. A small
building was; ut up in which to keep
the outfit. The company at first had
a large membérshipand much enthusiasm but the old-established Fire Department objected to recognizing it as
a regular company.. It therefore fell .
quickly into a state of innocuous desuetude, and has ever since remained in
that condition. When the alarm. was
given Tuesday some of the old mem. ‘bers were among the firét persons on
the scene. They got their hose out
without loss of time, altuched to a hydrant andstretched it tothe burning}
house.. About that tithe time the regular companies arrived on the scene
and took charge of the hose that helonged to the Piety. Hillers. One of
tnrnedinto the attic of the building
through a hole in the roof. Judge
Walling, one of the Piety Hillers, protested against doing this on the ground
that there was no fire above the ceiling and that_the only object to be accomplished wasto damage the building
with the-water. The Foreman told the
Judge that he was not running affiirs
and not being a fireman had nosay.
The Judge said he had ag much right
as anybody to give orders and with
this shot retired from active duty., All
this has made the Piety Hill contingency mad clear through. They claim
that the Department had no right to
interfere with their hose, as they are
not in any way under the authority of
the Chief Engineer, and now they
propose to be recognized as a regular
company or go out of service altogether.
They will. apply to the City Trustees
for the desired recognition, and say
‘they expect to get it. it.
A Successfal Practitioner.
A visit to Prof, Frank’s headquartera
on Main street will niore than repay
any person with good eyesight, and it
will prove doubly profitatle to those
whose vision isin any way impaired.
The Professor has everything that
modern écience provides as aids.toexamining and _testing'the -eye—and—for
disclosing: its anatomy and condition.
Some of the most important. instru~ ments are cf his own invention. He
also shows the completest line of artificial eyes to be found on the coast,and
they are of the best quality, having
been made in France by the most skilled artisans. “It is universally conceded that spectacles or ‘‘helps-to-read’”’
are among the greatest gifts bestowed
by science upon mankind. Without
them many people would be practically blind, and it is only when properly
adjusted that they’ are of real benefi. In the adjustment of these.
the Professor calls into use an
extensive series of compound test:
lenses with which invariably . correct results are arrived at. The lenses
of his spectacles are composed of the
best diamond rock crystal imported by
him from Brazil. He has demonstrated by scores of cases in this county his
eminent qualifications as an optician.
One instance is the case of the Tran
tracted by night work on a newspaper

Professor. by proper applications removed the-inflammation, and this
treatment was followed by the adjustment of a specially prepared lense
which enables the use of the eye in

On January 221, 1852; the . following
‘Sermon by the Locomotive Preacher’’
was published and circulated at this
city, and it is good reading.as.an-4index to the rollicking spirit that prevaile] among the pioneer settlers of
the place:
“Prt a beggar on horse back and he will
» Fide to the devil.
-Now my hearers, I do not mean to
. Say that you are beggars,
ft. Onthe contray, it is niy candid
andsoleman belief that most of you
would sooner steal than beg. You
known us well asI do that every sermon must have’ a text to begin with,
and I cou.d not at the moment: hit
‘upon one that seemed to squint more
directly at the subject on which I propose to edify you on the present occasion; and I believe moreover that it,
will be found to be quite as upprupriate as the texts which purport to form
the foundation of the serinons of my
orother élergymen i in general.
Some of you—very many of you—
my. fellow sinners, now present, before
you left the States" possessed ‘very’ little of the real rino @t afy one time,
and were not altogéther insensible to
the true valué ofadime. Well, you
came to California because you tho’t
saghey was much easier to come at
here.than in the states; and so, it. is.
hdme a fortune, and if you have not
realized to the full extent your extravagant expectations, you have most ot
you had much better luck than you
deserved. Many of you who were
never before in possession of one hundred dollars at any one time, have:
since you arrived here handled money
by the hundreds and by the thousands,
and where’ isit? Gone!—spent unnecessarily, lavished, squandered ; lost
at the gaming table! You had never
been enough used to money to comYou
had yet to learn that it would take
unto itself wings and fiy away. . You
getit soeasy here thatit appeared tu
you of little worth, and. you scutterea
it like dust; and here-you are grumbling and growling becyuse you are
no better offfor coming to California.
Well, it’s you own fault; Why in the
namethe god of idletiesa, the demon
of waste, and of bacchus to boot,
haven’t you been more industrious onthe one hand, and more prudent and
economicul.on the other. You had to
work in the States 312 days to get ua
living for the year of 365 days, and
rather a mean living at tht; and here
where youcan lay up froin three to
tive dollurs per day, clear of.ull expenses, you spend half your time or more
fooling away the rich surplus of your
few duys of industry.
I tell you, my hearers, it will not

spend his time in sucking his thumbs.
It is true, I know, that a certain species of animulsis said to live.a part ot
the year and grow fat with no othe:
sustenance than what it gets by suck
ing its paws. But then it must be rex
inembered that this said avimal isin a
state of partial torpor, and is stupitied without any addition to this chea}and simple diet, Now you, my hearers, Seldym get lower thun .a siate ot
stupidity, a condition which for the
most part, while it seems to paralyse
all efforts for gaining or suving money,
in no wise diminishes your appetiter
for daiuty fare and other expensive
superfluities and extravagancies.
Aguin I repeat, you came to California, my unstable-minded hearers, to
take a little fortune in the shortest
possible-time—to work hard and live

thronged with idle miners yesterday.
There isa prospect of litigation over
the jumping of mining ground on
Gold Hill which belonys to and: has
been in the possession of John Farrell
for many years. The eet is considered valuable.
A large number of persons walked
out from town onthe railroad track
yesterday to witness the operations of
the snow shovelers.
Although gangs of men walked all
through Monday , and the night following the railroad train which was
blockaded at Buena Vista Station on
Sunday night, had oaly reached near
to the Summit by yesterday morning.
. The difficulty of the—situation was
caused ‘by the surface of the. snow
freezing into a hard ernst, and as the
snowplow-attached to the engine could
make no headway against tiis owing
to the depth of the-snow, there was no
other way to onen the road except tu
shovel away the snow by hand labor.
This has been a slow and tedious process, anid although the Railroad. Company-has made every. effort possible,
by sending gangs of .shovelers— out
from town the work could not be accomplished as fart asdesired. Yesterday afternoon the track was cleared
from Buena Vista toa point this side
of Kress’ Summit; and it was also
cleared fiom the depot as far as the
sulpburets works, leaving the section
between le&s tiian:two miles to clear,
The difficulty of clearing can be better
understood when it is known that the
snow is frozen into ice on the top and
sides and under the flange of the rails,
and this must be removed before the
engines can pass. There weré about
100 men engaged in shoveling snow on
the track yesterday. ‘They were” paid
at the rate of thirty cents an hour.

Snowshoeing is just now the fadat
this city with the young men aiid boys.
Coasting with sleds, marbles and other
sports have taken a%back seat, and
the youth who has struck the secret of
making good dope is the mightiest
hero of the hour, Those who cannot
buy, beg or borrow a pair of regulation snowshoes improvise them from
barrel staves, which latter are an indifferent makeshift. The surface of
the snow is hard enough ~every where
for good slipping. Main street bill is
one of the most popular courses. ‘the
boys start from the brow of the grade
and go~-whizzing down the center of
the street for more than three blocks.
Occasionully they get some pretty
hard falls, but none of them have yet
had their ardor bumped out.
Quit Pumping.
Superintendent Tilley has kept the
two pumps ut the Peabody running
five 6-foot strokesto the minute with
the hope thut the weather would clear
up so he could proceed with the development work; but the water hus
been gaining on him in spite of everything, and as the weather is getting
worse instead of better he determined
Wednesday ‘to quit pumping till the
storm is over.

number there are doubtless some few
who have rather vaguely wondered as
to the meaning. If thereare any such
it may afford them some satisfaction
to know that a picture is so spoken of
when it is hung on the level of the
eyes of the spectator. They are said
to be *‘skied’’ when they are placed
so high that it is difficult for one
standing upon the floor to comfortably
bring them within the range of vision,
and the meaning of this term many an
artist is familiar with td his sorrow.

A WOMAN'S HEART.. .
a Moth or's “Love.
Iti difficult for pérsons in differing
circumstances to estimate the cust of
personal sacrifices. Only a woman,
whose glory and crown of glory is her
fine hair, can appreciate the heroism
of the Sicilian women, who allowed
themselves to. be shorn like -Samson
for their country’s good.
us that in the olden time the beautiful
city of Palermo suffered from a long
and painful siege from the Saracens.
Though greatly reduced by famine and
distress they still held out undauntedly. At length to add to their dismay
it was found that the materials for
making bow-strings, which constituted their weapons of defense, were
exhaustel. They were upon the point
of surrendering, finding ' themselves
-entirety unarmed, when a patriotic
damestepped forth and proposed to
the brave-hearted women that they
should cut offtheir beautiful hair and
twist it into bow-strings. The proposition was no sooner made than complied
with. The heroism of the wemen not
only provided arms of defense, but so
animated the courage of the bveieged
by their gallant sacrifice that they renewed their warfare with such vigor
that the as-ailants were beaten down
and the city saved.
There is no sacrifice impossible to
woman's love! We all remember . the
tender pathos with which Victor
Hugo told the story of Fantine, whu
in the mighty strength of mother_love
denied herself every thing to provide
for her child Cosette, from whom-she
was separated, food and clothing, fire
in winter, light at evening, even the
bird that cheered her with its song.
At’ fength word came.that Cosette wag
in sore need of a flannel shirt. © All
day Funtine crumpicd the letter in lier
hand, and at nightfall went toa biure
ber’s and had her magnificent hair cut
off, and sold it for ten franca and
smiled thinking: “My child is no
