Tbe populaūon of California is 550,000 ; tha: of San Francisco 150,000. 11 waiking match, the Court Jouroal <.3ys, reported io have c»ine off for a thou<and guineas, between a noble lord and a haronet.

The umbrella man was defeated. Tne American yacht ► t S«ippho," wbich r?cently defeat«d the best English yachts, hes £ained a v:ctory over tbe 44 Dauntless," whieh hitberto has been regnrded as among tae fastest of Aaierican «mall cr»ft. h is asserted that the French Government bss parchased in Amen'ea arms nnd war c<jaipments to the value or 20,000.000 francs. Tbese purcbases have been made by private j«rsor.s to avoid any violation of the neutra« i; īy* laws. The legitimate heir of tbe French tnrone is Henry V, as he i& styled by bis part«s3n«, a man about 50 years old. But he h«s a strong competitor in the Count of raris, the head of the House of Orlenns, trho is now about thirty-three years of age, aod served for a time on the staff of Gen. McCiellao during the rebellion. Just before the war broke out the Orleans prinees petitioned Napoleon to be permitted to *eturn to France, from whieh they have been long en!ed, but it whs refused. Since the war browe out they have been very liberal in their contributions for the care of the soldiers, and they have now petitioned for a cotnmand in the army. At the anniversary of Bethel Mission, Kev. Henry Ward Beecher spoke. Among other things, he said that he would rather. know whether they were better in their j moraJs, whetber they spoke the truth more, whether they pilfered less, whether they! were in every way more manly, than to know howinueh Catechisin they could recite. Mr- Beecher hit upon a great truth in these | emarks. It is the spiritual and moral adtancement of tbe children that is the test of ?auday School success. Not any amount f knowledge, not any repetition of Scripture, iot any scquaintance with the facts nnd doc-1 rmes of Scripture, not any sort of progress khatever ean take the plaee of the moral nd spiritual discipline of the children. Refkoving Childeen.—l. Reprove w\th-1 iut anger. Passion destroys the moral pawet f a rebuke. 12. Keprove %vith consideration. Take the st view of dhe case, not the worst. 3. Let your reproof be directed to the rean and conscience. Tbereby you educate e cbild. 4. Reprove gentl y. " Thy gentleness hath »de me great." 5. Don't always reprove. " Molasses ches more flies than vinegar." j "Fathere, provoke not your childrēn to ger, lest they be discouraged." j A Swarm of Bees in St. Loūis.—The j Louis Democrat says: "At two o'eloek | Wednesday afternoon a large swarm of js visited the city. As they were passing j ;r Fifth street, between Myrtle and Elm, j i jingling of the bells of a street car arrqst- j thfcir progress/and the whole colony set- j d on the hmb of an ailanthus tree thatj over the sidewalk. The weight of j e swarm caused the limb to break, and the' de busybodies were precipitated to the side!magining jhat an attack had been pde upon thetn by the passengers in tbe they flew upon the horses and men, j inging them severely. The horses did not Mt for the order of going, but went at full ped, while some of the passengers took to ! pir heels. Persons passing on the street J bre also attacked, and there were many ex-' imations of ' Shoofly!' as the smartingj destrians made frantic efforts to brush the i eroy from their heads and faces. Several i j-.es were seen gathering their skirt close 1 |und them, and getting out of the way by! ity waiking. Several bees became ,enfcgled iu a lady's waterfa(l, and it was hard tell whieh was worst scared—the bees or t lady. A colored man captured the swarm I |spreading a sheet upon the ground; the ps mll crowded into the sheet, and were hiea away by tbe colored bee charmer." Now to bb handsome.—Most people like fce handsome. Nobody denies the great fcrer whieh any person may have who has rood fac&aad who attracts you by good ■ki, even before a word has been spoken.
