A writer to the Chronicle, of Moke* Jumne Hill, gets off the following, “And while we are well’ mention that cabbage tree grown by Dr, Hepburn several years since. One Spring the Doctor planted a lot of cabbage seed. Germination followed and in due course of time the plants all ‘came toa head’ That. kept right on growing for severa] years, until it reached an altitude of over forty feet, and was two feet in diameter at the ground, What the dimensions of the tree would ultimately have . been never will be known, It blew down ___one stormy night during the wet Winter of 1861-2, while yet im the heyday of its youth, much to the sorrow of the Doctor, who was ofa scientific turn of mind. The trunk and limbs were cut and split into convenient size, the whole making “We received a call yesterday from Mr. Joseph Middlemiss, of Sierra . County, who is on a visit to our section with a view of securing assistance to open up 4 quartz lodé on Woodruff creek, between the Mount. ain House and Goodyears’ Bar. Fifty thousand dollars have been extracted from the mine in # cut*ran into the ledge a length of 40 feet. Mr. Middlemiss proposes to dispose of the mine under very advantageous terms which those desiring to invest will do well to look into. He: will remain some days and will give any information desired. <a For City Marshal. ~ There being no candidates this year . for City Marsbal, Matt Daily has oon‘Bented, at the earnest solicitation _of friends, to announce himself as a candidate.Daily is well known to every person in town and we regard his announcement as good as an election. That he is qualified in every respect for the position, every oné. knows as wellags we. As there are no-other candidates, of course Daily will hava no troublein securing the . position, aes “Opium Suivkers Arrested, Saturday a posse composed of of‘ficers Kinzle, Pangbarn, Niswender,_ Constable Walker, Deputy Constable Booler, and we do not know how many more, made a successful raid on one of the opium-smcking dens in Chiaatowpn, and captured four -young men and a girl, all Americans. They were at 3 vp. mM. taken before Judge Knox, tried (with a single exception) and found guilty of being inmates of one of those damnable places. Had the counsel for the prosecution introduced the defendants one by one as testimony in the case, no more-would have -been-needed. Their faces told the whole story. There they. sat, wit’ eyes lustreless and bleared and fixed on vacanstate, more -terrible than death it____gix cords and a half of must excellent . #¢lf._ One of them was the son of re# ‘eabbage. Every sedson, previous to ‘the accident that caused its death, the tree blessemed and bore fruit— cabbages as lurge as a bushel basket hanging pendant from its limbs as thick as clusters cf grapes. Many eminent men reposed beneath the’ shade of that cabbage tree, and is said to have exerted a marvelous influence upon the mental faculties. Bayard Taylor was once the guest of the Doctor, and one warm afternoon took a ‘siesta’ under the tree. Immediately upon awakening he inscribed » powerful ‘Ode to Corned Beef.’ Other people of lesser note were similarly ‘affected by contact with thetree, and it lis said that it ¢>uld not be approached without giving rise to sauerkraut reflections.” ein The Louisiana Situation. Cuicaco, New Orleans speciul says, Governor Packard, in anticipation that the President will withdraw the troops fron the State-house, and in order that he may not be caught at a disad‘vantage, has sworn in 100 picked white men and members of the National Guard of Louisiana who will be stationed inside and about the State-house. Packard is confident he can retain control of the building. The Commission has made little progress and some ofthe members are becoming discouaged by the outlook, but will not yet suspend their efforts to consolidate the Legislatures. Dont Argue on Religion. The other day two men in SanFrancisco became engaged iu a discussion about the infaltibility of the Pope. One was named McDona and the other is called Joell: were bosom friends. The di resulted in hard words nts seem to prove conclusively hat there is no subject which men discuss that provokes such bitter fedling as religion, Whena Catholic and a Protestant begin to ergue about their respective beliefsthere is danger. One or the other is pretty sure to be killed. The moral lesson of all this is very plain: Dont argue on religious subjects.—Gold Hill News.

Probatly members of Congress will find personal reasons for possible, but whether it is long or short it will cost money which ought ‘to have been spared the country, and the responsibility for this wholly unnecessary work will lie at the door of the Democratic party. — RecordTue editor from Australia gives Gen.

But Miss Neilson thought it too much on the leg-drama style, and absolutely refused to have copies printed. So the carte described is quite unique, and is made allthe more so by the fair actress having written on the back, evidently in sly allusion to the reason that induced her to interdict the pictare’s sale, a quotation from “Cymbeline,” viz.: “I see that it. is a to bea mau'’’—Baltimore Buletin.
