NORTH SAN JUAN, NEVADA CO, SATURDAY, MARCH 12 1859. The Parents of Crime. Out of 5,996 persons committed to the jails of Massachusetts during the last year, the number reported as addicted to intemperance is 4,604; and nearly half of the whole number could neither read nor write. A large proportion of them were foreigners, or the children of foreign parents. Here we have another proof of the fact continually ig. nored by legislators, that ignorance and intemperance are the parents of nearly all the crimes which afflict society and burden the State. If careful statistics on these points were preserved in all our prisons, it would be found that the great majority of crimes in California were committed either under the immediate influence of intoxication, or as the results of habits originally induced and perpetuated by that insidious evil.— Hardly an affray occurs in the State but the newspaporial record of it is accompanied by the remark that the’ parties, one or all of them, were under the influence of strong drink. Thus the damning chronicle is repeated, year after year, continually swelling with the increase of our population. When shall we learn wisdom, and strive as hard for the prevention of crimeas forits punishment? Anoccasional death—say even one or two a year—resulting from the carelessness or ignorance of apothecaries, alarms everybody and stimulates to the enactment of strict laws with a view to the prevention of such lamentable oceurrences in the future. But the liquor business, which slays its thousands annually, though doing its fatal work gradually, is allowed to be pursued without restraint, on the sole condition that a certain tax be regularly paid. For the last five years the State has expended but nine dollars for the education of each child old enough to attend school, while during the same period the sum of $1,885 has been spent onevery criminal! If tothisfact could . be added the exact amount of money . devoted to each object by the counties, the disproportion would probably not be less, while the increased aggregates . would have amuch more startling effect. Must we go on thus forever? Is there no plan by which the evil of intemperance can be abated—for it can hardly be removed—by which educa. tional facilities can be largely increased, and a blow struck atthe very roots of crime? ‘These are questions which every conscientious legislator should ask, ‘and try to solve. They more nearly . concern the welfare of our State than ‘much that gains greater attention. Who . . le . is there, loving his race and country . . . more than party, that will deserve pop‘ular gratitude and remembrance by . practically solving the questions we have presented ? OrtHopoxy Not LIBERALITY.—Such appears to be the opinion of the editor of the Gleaner, which paper is the able organ of the Israelites of California. Some Christian sent to him a long article, which he notices thus : . ‘We would have given it insertion, /at all hazards—as we do not think the writer could have any objection to sce his appeal to Israel published—but for . the fact that it is orthodox Christian, ‘and we have no department for such matter—our columns being open [only? to the promotion of liberal views. * * %* * We shall be glad to give space to liberal Christian matter, even though it be polemical.” A Worp To Pork Earters.—It is asserted that a great deal of the pork consumed for food is affected with the measles; and the measles, again, are said to be nothing but the Larve of the common Tuenia Solium , which, when taken ‘into the human stomach, develop into the full-grown tapeworm, that elongated monstrosity which preys so insidiously on its ignorant victims. As the larve seldom lose vitality in the process of cooking, they are eaten unconsciously in large quantities. The moral of this item is—if people will eat the Jewish abomination, let them first be sure that it is not affected with the measles. Infinity of Life. Microscopic examination has revealed the existence of a world of organic creatures which was as utterly unknown to the ancients as the continent of America, but proves to be incomparably more wonderful. A single drop of water is sometimes as populous with animalcula as this great globe itself with human beings; and asingle grain of sand is often the home ofstruggling thousands. Every leaf and twig, the spears of grass and trunks of trees, the verdant covering of standing pools, the yellow scum that froths on ocean beach, the very dust that floats on air—all are full of living entities or formed by theirdecay. These, in their endless variety of form, mock every shape that art can draw, present an ever-shifting succession of new and lovely designs, and even give hints to the mechanic if they have not already anticipated hisinventions. Seen through the magic microscope they move about with the most amazing rapidity, in an eccentric yet not aimless manner; and constant observation has discerned among them surprising indications of intelligence. Infinitesimally small as are the microscopic animals, they are generally clothed in coats of mail, or cased in shells consisting of the most lasting materials —— Hence their fossil remains extend beyond the entire period of man’s history, and constitute a great portion of the earth’s covering of soil. Entire mountains and plains are composed of them, and the smallest fragment of earth or rock is often but an aggregate of millions of minute organic remains. It is absolutely impossible to set a limit to the variety and extent of life. On our globe the subtile principle, by means of an infinity of individual forms which are all connected from the lowest to the highest by the nicest gradations, is disseminated everywhere with the universality of chemical elements. In view of these astonishing facts why may nota drop of water or a grain of sand be a microcosm, or minute representative of the whole universe ?— the globe itself, with its endless forms of life, be but as a drop of water compared tothe inconceivable aggregate of peopled worlds that move through limitless space? Man loves to consider the wonderful beauty of his own being as the culmination of supreme capacity in the creation of sentient existences; and has even arrogated to himself, on the ground of his assumed superiority, a title to spiritual immortality. He witnesses in the lower animals exhibitions of the most exquisite intelligence, yet complacently denies them the possession of reason, while demanding and receiving services that only reason, in some degree, could enable them to render. He proudly surveys the green planet on which he dwells—‘“the brave o’erhanging canopy of heaven,” with its myriad glistening orbs, through which, as through kindling eyes, looks forth the soul of the universe ; and pronounces himself master of the eternal mystery—the confidant of Omnipotence—he for whom all things were made, and beyond whose limited sphere no form of life exists. More noble would it be to meekly seek to learn and not pretend te /now the secret of creation. There is no limit to inquiry, and may be none to knowledge. The fields of nescience, or of the impossible to be known, seem however, to lie always before us. We have received but a mere hint concerning the globe on which our own history began in obseurity—and shall we now pretend to Omnisciénce ? Germans Comine.—We find the following statement in a Boston paper: A company of one thousand Germans is being formed on the Rhine and Moselle with the intention of emigating to Mariposa, California, and settling on Freemont’s claim, for the purpose of mining and farming. Each of the thousand members is to furnish $1,000, making a capital of $1,000,000, but they may dispose of $100 shares to third parties. VOL. L NO. 80 Voleanic Eruption. In August 1855 the people of the Sandwich Islands witnessed the unusual and magnificent spectacle of three yolcanoes simultaneously vomiting forth smoke and flaming lava, and sending down to the sea a fiery stream of many miles in length. Recent advices inform us that there has been another terrible eruption at Mauna Loa, Hawaii. The crater is said to be from three to eight hundred feet across, and to shoot up a perpendicular column eight or ten hundred feet in hight. This fiery fountain runs down the mountain side in numerous streams, the reflection of which at night tints the overhanging clouds and lights up the country for many miles around. These streams of molten lava form many falls and cascades in their course before reaching the plain, and one fall is mentioned which continued unchanged for two days, and must have been eighty or one hundred feet high. A writer describing it says : -“To watch this fall during the night when the bright red-hot stream of lava was flowing over at the rate of ten miles an hour, like water, was a scene not often witnessed, and never to be forgotten. In fact, the lava near its source had all the characteristics of a river of water flowing rapidly along, and gurgling with cascades, rapids, currents and falls.” The main stream running to the sea is estimated to be thirty-eight miles long, about thirty feet in depth, or rather hight—for itis piled up above the ground and runs between walls formed by the cooling of its own side—and from a quarter of a mile to three miles in width. The surface also cools and breaks into. fragments, which are borne along like: blocks of ice on a river. This plutonic stream has already filled up a small har~ bor where it enters the sea, and coming’ in contact with the water, produces jets. of steam some hundreds of feet in hight, and covering an area of more than a mile square; reminding one of the sounding falls with their columns of vapor alwaysascending, which Livingstone witnessed on the Zambesi in Africa. Whilst Mauna Loa is thus belching forth internal fire, Vesuvius, in Italy, is said to be cracking and opening at all. parts from the base to the summit. One authority asserts that small craters vomit lava in all directions without ceasing; and it is feared that at the most wnexpected moment an eruption Will take place from the great crater. New Weapon or War.—A correspondent of the Scientific American sug>. gests that the cigar-shaped steamer might be made a means of naval defense, by attacking and sinkmg an enemy’s ships. Moving forward with tremendous force and swiftness, the sharppointed prow, armed with solid iron or steel, would glide through the waves just below the water line of a vessel, makea puncture as large as a hogshead, into which the water would rush and sink the vessel, while the horrid little black ‘puncher” would dart off swiftly to attack another enemy. ALFALFA IN THE MounTAIns.—The San Andreas Independent thiaks it would be an excellent experiment for persons going into the sheep raising business in the mouutain regions, to introduce Alfalfa. Sheep do not require any other food than such as our hills supply from February to November; but later than November they begin to fall away in flesh, as the natural pasturage then fails materially. If Alfalfa weresowed it would afford good fall and winter pasturage, and our cotemporary thinks that in a few years it would spread over a large scope of country, making thousands of acres of now valueless land contribute largely to our wealth. Svow Bripcr—The Sierra Democrat has the following: <n We are told that at Logansville, foo of the Buttes, one of the snow slides. common in that section threw: over the South Fork such a mass of snow, that» when the water found its way through, © ‘a beautifully arched bridge was left span=:' ning the stream—of sufficient igth’ ‘to be a good foot bridge. tat) OO pag ae — atte oe 2 Ne

NORTH SAN JUAN, NEVADA CO, SATURDAY, MARCH 12 1859. The Parents of Crime. Out of 5,996 persons committed to the jails of Massachusetts during the last year, the number reported as addicted to intemperance is 4,604; and nearly half of the whole number could neither read nor write. A large proportion of them were foreigners, or the children of foreign parents. Here we have another proof of the fact continually ig. nored by legislators, that ignorance and intemperance are the parents of nearly all the crimes which afflict society and burden the State. If careful statistics on these points were preserved in all our prisons, it would be found that the great majority of crimes in California were committed either under the immediate influence of intoxication, or as the results of habits originally induced and perpetuated by that insidious evil.— Hardly an affray occurs in the State but the newspaporial record of it is accompanied by the remark that the’ parties, one or all of them, were under the influence of strong drink. Thus the damning chronicle is repeated, year after year, continually swelling with the increase of our population. When shall we learn wisdom, and strive as hard for the prevention of crimeas forits punishment? Anoccasional death—say even one or two a year—resulting from the carelessness or ignorance of apothecaries, alarms everybody and stimulates to the enactment of strict laws with a view to the prevention of such lamentable oceurrences in the future. But the liquor business, which slays its thousands annually, though doing its fatal work gradually, is allowed to be pursued without restraint, on the sole condition that a certain tax be regularly paid. For the last five years the State has expended but nine dollars for the education of each child old enough to attend school, while during the same period the sum of $1,885 has been spent onevery criminal! If tothisfact could . be added the exact amount of money . devoted to each object by the counties, the disproportion would probably not be less, while the increased aggregates . would have amuch more startling effect. Must we go on thus forever? Is there no plan by which the evil of intemperance can be abated—for it can hardly be removed—by which educa. tional facilities can be largely increased, and a blow struck atthe very roots of crime? ‘These are questions which every conscientious legislator should ask, ‘and try to solve. They more nearly . concern the welfare of our State than ‘much that gains greater attention. Who . . le . is there, loving his race and country . . . more than party, that will deserve pop‘ular gratitude and remembrance by . practically solving the questions we have presented ? OrtHopoxy Not LIBERALITY.—Such appears to be the opinion of the editor of the Gleaner, which paper is the able organ of the Israelites of California. Some Christian sent to him a long article, which he notices thus : . ‘We would have given it insertion, /at all hazards—as we do not think the writer could have any objection to sce his appeal to Israel published—but for . the fact that it is orthodox Christian, ‘and we have no department for such matter—our columns being open [only? to the promotion of liberal views. * * %* * We shall be glad to give space to liberal Christian matter, even though it be polemical.” A Worp To Pork Earters.—It is asserted that a great deal of the pork consumed for food is affected with the measles; and the measles, again, are said to be nothing but the Larve of the common Tuenia Solium , which, when taken ‘into the human stomach, develop into the full-grown tapeworm, that elongated monstrosity which preys so insidiously on its ignorant victims. As the larve seldom lose vitality in the process of cooking, they are eaten unconsciously in large quantities. The moral of this item is—if people will eat the Jewish abomination, let them first be sure that it is not affected with the measles. Infinity of Life. Microscopic examination has revealed the existence of a world of organic creatures which was as utterly unknown to the ancients as the continent of America, but proves to be incomparably more wonderful. A single drop of water is sometimes as populous with animalcula as this great globe itself with human beings; and asingle grain of sand is often the home ofstruggling thousands. Every leaf and twig, the spears of grass and trunks of trees, the verdant covering of standing pools, the yellow scum that froths on ocean beach, the very dust that floats on air—all are full of living entities or formed by theirdecay. These, in their endless variety of form, mock every shape that art can draw, present an ever-shifting succession of new and lovely designs, and even give hints to the mechanic if they have not already anticipated hisinventions. Seen through the magic microscope they move about with the most amazing rapidity, in an eccentric yet not aimless manner; and constant observation has discerned among them surprising indications of intelligence. Infinitesimally small as are the microscopic animals, they are generally clothed in coats of mail, or cased in shells consisting of the most lasting materials —— Hence their fossil remains extend beyond the entire period of man’s history, and constitute a great portion of the earth’s covering of soil. Entire mountains and plains are composed of them, and the smallest fragment of earth or rock is often but an aggregate of millions of minute organic remains. It is absolutely impossible to set a limit to the variety and extent of life. On our globe the subtile principle, by means of an infinity of individual forms which are all connected from the lowest to the highest by the nicest gradations, is disseminated everywhere with the universality of chemical elements. In view of these astonishing facts why may nota drop of water or a grain of sand be a microcosm, or minute representative of the whole universe ?— the globe itself, with its endless forms of life, be but as a drop of water compared tothe inconceivable aggregate of peopled worlds that move through limitless space? Man loves to consider the wonderful beauty of his own being as the culmination of supreme capacity in the creation of sentient existences; and has even arrogated to himself, on the ground of his assumed superiority, a title to spiritual immortality. He witnesses in the lower animals exhibitions of the most exquisite intelligence, yet complacently denies them the possession of reason, while demanding and receiving services that only reason, in some degree, could enable them to render. He proudly surveys the green planet on which he dwells—‘“the brave o’erhanging canopy of heaven,” with its myriad glistening orbs, through which, as through kindling eyes, looks forth the soul of the universe ; and pronounces himself master of the eternal mystery—the confidant of Omnipotence—he for whom all things were made, and beyond whose limited sphere no form of life exists. More noble would it be to meekly seek to learn and not pretend te /now the secret of creation. There is no limit to inquiry, and may be none to knowledge. The fields of nescience, or of the impossible to be known, seem however, to lie always before us. We have received but a mere hint concerning the globe on which our own history began in obseurity—and shall we now pretend to Omnisciénce ? Germans Comine.—We find the following statement in a Boston paper: A company of one thousand Germans is being formed on the Rhine and Moselle with the intention of emigating to Mariposa, California, and settling on Freemont’s claim, for the purpose of mining and farming. Each of the thousand members is to furnish $1,000, making a capital of $1,000,000, but they may dispose of $100 shares to third parties. VOL. L NO. 80 Voleanic Eruption. In August 1855 the people of the Sandwich Islands witnessed the unusual and magnificent spectacle of three yolcanoes simultaneously vomiting forth smoke and flaming lava, and sending down to the sea a fiery stream of many miles in length. Recent advices inform us that there has been another terrible eruption at Mauna Loa, Hawaii. The crater is said to be from three to eight hundred feet across, and to shoot up a perpendicular column eight or ten hundred feet in hight. This fiery fountain runs down the mountain side in numerous streams, the reflection of which at night tints the overhanging clouds and lights up the country for many miles around. These streams of molten lava form many falls and cascades in their course before reaching the plain, and one fall is mentioned which continued unchanged for two days, and must have been eighty or one hundred feet high. A writer describing it says : -“To watch this fall during the night when the bright red-hot stream of lava was flowing over at the rate of ten miles an hour, like water, was a scene not often witnessed, and never to be forgotten. In fact, the lava near its source had all the characteristics of a river of water flowing rapidly along, and gurgling with cascades, rapids, currents and falls.” The main stream running to the sea is estimated to be thirty-eight miles long, about thirty feet in depth, or rather hight—for itis piled up above the ground and runs between walls formed by the cooling of its own side—and from a quarter of a mile to three miles in width. The surface also cools and breaks into. fragments, which are borne along like: blocks of ice on a river. This plutonic stream has already filled up a small har~ bor where it enters the sea, and coming’ in contact with the water, produces jets. of steam some hundreds of feet in hight, and covering an area of more than a mile square; reminding one of the sounding falls with their columns of vapor alwaysascending, which Livingstone witnessed on the Zambesi in Africa. Whilst Mauna Loa is thus belching forth internal fire, Vesuvius, in Italy, is said to be cracking and opening at all. parts from the base to the summit. One authority asserts that small craters vomit lava in all directions without ceasing; and it is feared that at the most wnexpected moment an eruption Will take place from the great crater. New Weapon or War.—A correspondent of the Scientific American sug>. gests that the cigar-shaped steamer might be made a means of naval defense, by attacking and sinkmg an enemy’s ships. Moving forward with tremendous force and swiftness, the sharppointed prow, armed with solid iron or steel, would glide through the waves just below the water line of a vessel, makea puncture as large as a hogshead, into which the water would rush and sink the vessel, while the horrid little black ‘puncher” would dart off swiftly to attack another enemy. ALFALFA IN THE MounTAIns.—The San Andreas Independent thiaks it would be an excellent experiment for persons going into the sheep raising business in the mouutain regions, to introduce Alfalfa. Sheep do not require any other food than such as our hills supply from February to November; but later than November they begin to fall away in flesh, as the natural pasturage then fails materially. If Alfalfa weresowed it would afford good fall and winter pasturage, and our cotemporary thinks that in a few years it would spread over a large scope of country, making thousands of acres of now valueless land contribute largely to our wealth. Svow Bripcr—The Sierra Democrat has the following: <n We are told that at Logansville, foo of the Buttes, one of the snow slides. common in that section threw: over the South Fork such a mass of snow, that» when the water found its way through, © ‘a beautifully arched bridge was left span=:' ning the stream—of sufficient igth’ ‘to be a good foot bridge. tat) OO pag ae — atte oe 2 Ne
