Can a Man Live on Climate?
It is often sneeringly remarked, when the excellence of our climate is advanced as an argument in favor of Southern California, that 'a man cant live on climate.' Now, if any one thinks that this smart saying is unqualifiedly true, he had better reside for a few months in some less favored locality, when he not only learns that he is mistaken, but furthermore sees that he has been signally ungrateful to kind providence in contemning and despising one of its greatest blessings to humanity. If man lived, as a hog lives, by simply eating and drinking, the remark would be practically true, but the human organism requires something more than bread and water to sustain all of its human vitality, and keep in play those fine faculties, brain and nervous system that distinguishes man from the inferior orders of the animal kingdom. With a nature akin to the rose, he thrives not in the dark and gloomy places of earth, but blossoms forth into sweetest fragrance and most glorious perfection where the beautiful sunlight comes and the cheerful inspiration of nature is freshest and brightest from the hand of Democrat no matter how much prepossessed. But he was a political make a side issue again.
fine faculties, brain and nervous system that distinguishes man from the inferior orders of the animal kingdom. With a nature akin to the rose, he thrives not in the dark and gloomy places of earth, but blossoms forth into sweetest fragrance and most glorious perfection where the beautiful sunlight comes and the cheerful inspiration of nature is freshest and brightest from the hand of nature's God. To live, requires something more than merely keeping the stomach full. The mind must be agreeably occupied, the thoughts pleasant, the heart light. In a word, a man must be happy and cheerful to live long and well. He is not a fish, that a mere physical existence can be called life, but he has a heart that beats only with warm blood, a soul that requires something more than the mere formation of bone and muscle to satisfy its longings. It is a scientific fact that the dwellers of dry and sunny climates are distinguished for cheerfulness, vivacity and activity of mind; while those of the antipodal isotherms are on the contrary, disposed to melancholy and become the gloomiest of metaphysical philosophers. Here then is exact data from which to advance, an ascertained fact and not a mere idea. A dry sunny climate actually infuses more life into the human or ganism than a wet one, gives it more oxygen, causes the blood to flow quicker through the veins, and makes the mind of man more cheerful, social and active in its nature. We well know that plants derive material sustenance from sunlight and the air, that deprived of the former, they grow up pale and sickly in appearance and never assume that ruddy color of health or vigor of stalk which the warm rays of the sun would give them. Is it not reasonable to infer by analogy of nature, that man also may through the pores of the body and the action of the respiratory apparatus, derive some material and substantial accretions to his physical frame from the air? and that consequently by reason of this and of the cheering effect upon his mental and nervous systems of an

PORTOR GAZETTE. In the Advocate of 27th, there was a communication in "M" upon the subject of "No Law," in which he fairly and fully pictures one of the greatest cases that the farmers have had to end against during the last three years.
Being a farmer, know only too well it is to be in the saddle one half, even all the night driving off bands riding, worthless mustangs. Yet it was to me that "M" becomes unduplicated over it now, and carries his name against the horses too far when speaks about being prepossessed in favor of a "nice young man" who candidate for an office; but because horses belonging to said candidate wandered on to his unprotected den and for some reason unknown the owner, never returned that he not consistently support him with vote or influence. The point he attempted to make, was too transparent receive the most obtuse. Why does "M" come squarely out and say the son he cannot support the candidate added to, is that his political complexities so different from what he has fraternizing with that for oil and water to mix, would be no more difficult matter than for him to support any nomocrat no matter how nice a man or much prepossessed. But to insinuate that he was a political friend, and then take a side issue against him, because

The Coming Race.
In a paper on 'The Darwinian Theory' in the August Overland, the author premising that human beings are descended from an inferior order of the animal kingdom, speculates upon the possibility of a new race of men coming upon the earth who shall be as much superior to the men and women of the present age as we are ahead of the male and female apes and monkeys of the ante-diluvian period. He says, "In what particulars they shall be superior to the men of to-day, it is impossible to imagine, seeing that we can have no conception of any organization superior to our own. Possibly the rudimentary wings, which some naturalists assert we have in our backs, though Mr. Darwin makes no mention of the fact, will sprout out, and posterity will thus be enabled to float about in the upper air.

butterly and hopelessly driven to the wall. For how shall our Heenan grapple with the new gladiator of the 'chilled steel" muscle? How will the Blondins of this puerile age hide their diminished heads before the coming acrobat, who, with his partially developed wings, shall "float about in the upper air in a highly graceful and serene manner"? How shall David Paul Brown and James T. Brady and hosts of that ilk bow submissively to the decree of fate, and pale their ineffectual fires before the tremendous mental, forty horse power of the new legal luminary who "from the first dawn of consciousness" shall have "grasped the whole scope of that mystery which we call Lite"? We shall find a refuge perhaps in the retreats of nature where the gorillas have gone before, and, as we have anatomized, classified and fully labelled the present denizens of the forest, so possibly, may our successors do us up according to the most approved style of post-mortem architecture and carefully label us "specimen brick of the Genus Homo."
