An exchange gives the following anecdote of the famous and infamous Lola Montez. Being, during her visit to this country, one day on a train of the Sacramento Valley Railroad, she coolly drew out a cigarette and began smoking. The conductor came along and said very positively: "Madam, you cannot smoke in this car." "Indeed," replied she continuing to puff, "but you see I can;" and she blew a volume of smoke in his face. The behavior of official defaulters in these degenerate days, smacks strongly of that same brazen effrontery which actuated Lola Montez. The people, like a good-natured giant imposed upon by a pigmy, say "you mustn't do that;" and they virtually reply, "But you see we can." History says that Mithradates had been so long accustomed to take small doses of poison to accustom his body to it and prevent his death by poison which might be administered by his enemies that when, finally, upon defeat, he wished to kill himself, no amount of it that he could swallow had any effect on him. Just so is it with the moral sense of the masses. The delicacy of their sensibilities, as to the beauty of virtue and the loathsomeness of villainy in public men, has been actually blunted by the frequency of disclosures of corruption until they now seem unable to realize and appreciate the outrageous character of glaring malfeasance in office. The peasants in a certain district in southern Europe have been so long and so universally afflicted with the hideous goitre that they regard any stranger among them. THE MAGIC OF TRUE WOMAN-BOOD. SHAKESPEARE says, "the load, ugly and venomous, still bears a precious jewel in its head;" and though as a piece of natural history, this assertion is as false as the pretentions of a government official, it is metaphorically true; for sometimes we do find jewels of human character in the loathsome toad, the world—jewels so fair and bright that they cast reflected lustre on the toad and make us think better of it. While these cases of approach to perfection in nature are as rare among men as the dofo, one may in the course of a lifetime meet many among women. Such ever exert an elevating and a holy influence, and impress all around them, however rude the mould in which their dispositions are cast, and whatever the sphere those admirable qualities adorn; just as the mind receives as grateful a sense of pleasure from the fragrance of the lowly violet as the lofty lily. It is related that when once a Gallic chief returned home from an unsuccessful encounter with the legions of the greatest of Romans, he replied to the reproaches of his people by crying out, "Tis no disgrace to be surpassed by Caesar," and in just the same way one feels no humiliation in acknowledging the superiority which gives new dignity to the human characteristics of which it is the highest type. An English officer, in India, once endeavored to get a Brahmin to look through a microscope at the animalculae in the rice he was eating. "No," cried the Brahmin dashing the instrument to the earth, "if it brings nothing but disillusion from pleasant impressions, knowledge is a misfortune." And if any trivial fallibility creep into the shrine where one thinks perfection dwells, he prefers to close his eyes to it and believe it does not exist. This famous couple of The New York telegrams of the last give some particulars of professed disclosures on the part of the Salt Lake correspondent of the Sun, with regard to the alleged discovery of a Mormon scheme for getting possession of New Mexico, excluding all Gentiles. It is asserted that very shortly several thousand Mormons will start for New Mexico; that already Mormon elders are at work among the Indians there, endeavoring to proselyte them; that land grants are being constantly bought with Mormon capital, and that it has recently been edicted by Brigham Young that every priest shall learn the Spanish language. The scheme is said to excite great enthusiasm among the Mormons and, though it may be but a mere newspaper conard, it sounds in keeping with their well-known aggressive tendencies. If a greater unanimity of action would inspire the people in the matter of attempting to exterminate squirrels and gophers, much more could be accomplished in that direction; and eventually an entire riddance from the pest, could be effected. If there was an organized plan of action, by which poison would be put out in proper places for them on a certain day, and then, after intervals of a short time, poison again and so again, it is more than likely that in two or three years, a squirrel or a gopher would be a rarity and an exception. The immense actual damage done to grain fields, orchards, etc., annually by these animals, assuredly amounts to far more than their extermination would cost, were it managed judiciously. It is asserted that the Czar of Russia having reigned for twenty-one years, intends now to resign and go type. An English officer, in India, once endeavored to get a Brahmin to look through a microscope at the animalcule in the rice he was eating. "No," cried the Brahmin dashing the instrument to the earth, "if it brings nothing but disillusion from pleasant impressions, knowledge is a misfortune." And if any trivial fallibility creep into the shrine where one thinks perfection dwells, he prefers to close his eyes to it and believe it does not exist. This famous couplet of Shakespeare is a frigid and unnatural one, but it always arises in our mind when thinking of such a woman: "Pure as an apple That's curled by the frost from whitest snow And naught on Dian a temple." There are very many people who utterly wreck their constitutions by the taking of medicine to an injudicious extent. No greater misfortune can befall a man, than for him to conceive the idea that he understands the working of calomel, quinine, blue mass, etc., upon the human mechanism: for whenever he does become possessed with that notion, he is nearly sure to ruin his health by taking doses for the balance of his days. "I was well: I wished to be better: I am here" was the inscription on the tomb of one of these hypochondriacs who, too late, perceived his error; and if the facts were known, they would justify in many more cases, such an inscription. The marvelously delicate and intricate organism of a man is not designed to be tinkered with by any clumsy hand, and that man is as upwise as he is presumptuous who in ignorance attempts it. The secretive functions discharged by the human skin in healthy condition are so important that it would seem none could fail to appreciate them and the consequent necessity in point of health, barring considerations of decency, to keep its pores in a pure and unobstructed condition. How many there are in every country under the sun, who grossly neglect bathing! Yet it is not only the most salutary exercise imaginable, but one of the most pleasant. It is said that if a cat, the most hardy of animals, be plunged into any oil which will harden on contact with air and thus close the pores of its skin, it will die almost instantly—a significant commentary on the importance of allowing the organs of the skin unobstructed action. An agricultural exchange suggests that more care should be taken with brood sows before farrowing time. It is asserted that the Czar of Russia having reigned for twenty-one years, intends now to resign and go into retirement. Should he do this, it is probable that the next news we get from there, will be that he is maneuvering to regain the reins of government. When a man's mind has been moulded to one particular shape by twenty-one years of absorbing custom, it must possess elasticity indeed if it can assume any other. The animal which has worked all its days in a circle, as in the case of a lever horse-power, still goes in circles when it is turned out to graze. Charles V. gave up his mighty power and retired to pass the remainder of his days in the Escorial palace; but, if history reports aright, he bitterly repented the act and wished himself a king again. Among the imports from the East as seen reported in the San Francisco papers, one frequently finds lemons, tobacco, wine, iron and hog meat, and hundreds of other articles which should at the least be produced in California sufficient for by home consumption, if not for export. To bring them here seems like coals to Newcastle or olives to Athens. The fabulous sums expanded for these articles and going to enrich foreign states and outside nations could be saved, and it poorly becomes those who do not heed this foot, to howl about the money the Chinese are sending out of the country. An agricultural exchange suggests that more care should be taken with brood sows before farrowing time. It says that penning a sow away from the other hogs immediately preceding farrowing time, will be apt to make her so uneasy and feverish as to bring it on prematurely; and for that reason, recommends that the sow be so removed at least a month in advance of the expected event. It recommends that no whole grain be fed under such circumstances; since it will lie heavily upon the stomach, producing irritation and a morbid desire for some change of food, which frequently results in causing her to eat her pigs. The diet should be such as is easily digested and provided with special view to its enabling the sow to furnish abundant milk. The six Chinese companies in San Francisco have addressed a letter to the Chief of Police, setting forth the fact of assaults being made upon them by hoodlums, and expressing fear lest the popular excitement develop into a riot. In conclusion of their communication, they demand to be protected under their treaty rights. It would seem that things are threatening to come to a focus with them. PERHAPS not all are aware of the history and deriviation of the dollar sign—S. It is thought to be the figure 8, with a line drawn through it, and to have been adopted to designate a dollar because of that coin being worth eight bits, corresponding to the Spanish; "una peso de ocho reales," or literally—a piece of eight bits.

An order has been received here from Washington ordering the supplies of gas, water and fuel in the Custom House shut off. The order comes from the Treasury Department, and was caused by the exhaustion of the funds appropriated by Congress last year and a failure to make new appropriations. The Postoffice is in the Custom House building, and until further appropriation shall have been made, will be lighted up with candles. SAN FRANCISCO, April 4. On Ay, the Chinaman shot through the brain several weeks since, is nearly well. The remarkable part of the case is that through a bullet hole a large portion of his brains came out. SAN FRANCISCO, April 5. The Pacific Presbyterian Union, at a meeting recently, discussed the proposition of preparing a directory of Presbyterian churches on the Pacific Coast, and the question was submitted to a committee of three to report thereon at the next monthly meeting.

NEW ORLEANS, April 4. The City Engineer of New Orleans expresses the opinion that the fears of a general overflow in the Mississippi Valley are not well founded. The present condition of the upper tributaries, combined with those of the lower down, do not warrant the apprehension of such an overflow as would be damaging to the prospective agricultural interests of the valley. MEMPHIS, April 4. The effects of the flood are beginning to be felt on Arkansas side. A number of families in Hopefield, immediately opposite this city, were forced to leave their homes, and passengers who arrived by the Little Rock train this morning, report water over the track near Edmunds, but the train went out to-day. The water is now ten inches below extreme high water, and about an inch below high water in The contract was awarded to Heinzeman & Co.

If the demand for Agricultural Implements the coming harvest, is likely to correspond with increased number of acres under cultivation, there will be lively times among the San Francisco dealers in such implements during the season. Several firms, it is understood, have anticipated this demand, and have prepared themselves accordingly by early shipments. It is said that one firm (Treadwell & Co., who still occupy their old and well-known stand.) have contracted with the old established manufacturer of J. I. Chase & Co., of Wisconsin, for twenty-five car loads of their celebrated iron wheel California Headers. In view of the possible scarcity, farmers should make up their minds and buy early. The ladies of Santa Ana will give a festival at the Santa Ana Hotel, on Friday evening, April 14th, 1876. The proceeds will be used as a payment on the organ now used by the Union Sunday School. Supper, 50 cents. Oysters and strawberries, 25 cents extra. Tustin City Items. [Begalular correspondence of the Gazette.] Mr. H.

With reference to the interview with Governor Low this morning, in which he stated that, owing to the Chinese immigration coming from the British colony of Hongkong, the first steps must be taken with the British Government, as rescinding the Burlingame treaty would have no effect. Prominent legal opinion here inclines to scout at such a proposition as untenable and absurd; that the Immigrants merely resort to Hongkong as a place of transit, and that the British Government has nothing to do with the matter. The opinion is strongly expressed that the remedy lies not in the modification of this treaty, but in application of the United States and State law against coolee. Importation; that sufficient legislation already exists, and that the question is a matter to be handled by the courts. At the meeting of the San Francisco Presbytery last night the much vexed Woodbridge question was satisfactorily settled. August Hemme, an elder of the Presbyterian Church, offered five thousand dollars to build a new church for the Woodbridge faction. In return, Dr. Woodbridge reimburses the poor fund of the church, amounting to some five hundred dollars. Also his claim to the church property which, it will be remembered, he claimed by virtue of incorporating his faction as the Central Presbyterian Church, on discovering that no articles of incorporation of the original society existed. The arrangement was satisfactory to both parties, and was accepted.
