At its close with compliments and felicitations, for there is some remnant of lip-politeness yet extant in Paris, But people look into each . Other’s countenances with silent. gloom. Was this a precedent for future inflictions? . up at once. ceeding tact, divined what was passing in the minds of his guests, and restored coulidence by a stroke worthy of Talleyrand. Approaching the youthful poet, modestly . . awaiting the anticipated tribute to his genius, the gentleman seized both his hands, . and ina delighted tone exclaimed, “My dear Sir! Iam pleased and astonished! IL thought you were tenor, when, inreality, your voice isavery fine barytone!’’? The incipient bard is not likely to read any more verses . in that house, as may well be imagined. A Manparian Miner.—We learn from Le . Mineur, of San Francisco, that a very iutelligent Chinaman, named Ah Shang, who had spent five years in California, three as . merchant, returned . amiuer and twousa about seven months since to bis Celestial penates, with a snug fortune of fifteen thou. knowl. . ali come . sand dollars, and with a sufficient edge of the English language for mercial purposes, On retarningsto his own country, his capacity, joined to his fortune, which tis countrymen regarded with pride as a conquest over the ‘barbarians’? caus. ed him to be employed by his government . as a superior officer of the customs; from which position he was soon called to Pekin, ’ where be was attached to the Grand Man. dario of European affairs ; again, in a short . lime be was honored with the rank and title of Mandarin of the second class, and was . }employed as a Commissioner in the peace conferesces, which resulted in the signing of a treaty between the Anglo-French allies and the Chinese, These faets were obtained from a Chinese mercantile house of San . Francisco, bind ourselves to pay the differences that may arise . . Sineunan.—A singular fuueral, and still . more singular burial, took place up in the town of Washington, Pennsylvania, receutjly. Patrick Bryson and his wife were in. terred in the same grave. They were an old couple—-he ninety-four, and she but a. He died on Sunday . few years his junior, . night, aud she on Tuesday, and the corpses of both were lifted and carried in the same funeral train, to the same grave, and then . committed to ‘the dust from whence they i sprang,” side by side. They bad lived together as man and wife for sixty-six years, coming from Ireland soon after their marriage. They had resided in . Washington for sixty-live years, and had raised a large family, and secn Washington rise from a wilderness to what it is now. . They were plain, good, quiet, old-fashioned . people, who had commenced the morning of life together, and continued through the . noontide to its close. DEtERTIONS FROM THE Britis Navy.— About a year ago, the British Government . offered a bounty of ten pounds each for sailors. By this means 11,000 men were obtained, one-half of whom, service in foreign ships. The ships of war which brought the Prince to America, suffered a serious depletion in the same way ; the Hero losing nearly one hundred mea, and the Ariadne forty. . —— AnNoTHER BELIGERENT FeMALE,—The San. ta Rosa Democrat is informed that while Deputy Sheriff Barnes and Constable Boggs . . of Sonoma county, were attempting to dis. . charge their official duties and dispossess some equatters of lands claimed by Mr. Jno. N. Bailhache, of Healdsburg, Mr. Boggs was fired upon by the wife of one of the parties who were being dispossessed, with a. shot gun. No damage was done, and Mr. Bailhache was placed in possession of the premises. How tug Turkey was Namep.—An English writer suys that ie the time of Henry . new aud fashionable was called ‘‘tarkey ;” . as the richest goods were imported by mer. chants whose vessels sailed up the Mediter. ranean, and who were called Turkey merchante. When the noble American bird . was first served up on English tables, its ‘excellence gave itthe fashionable name “turkey,” which has remained unchanged to the present. mouth forever in the folluwing . an bour . he was overwhelmed . If so, the reunion might as well be broken . The host, a gentleman of ex. You cannot imagine how much . the town of . according to a . writer in the London Times, have already . deserted ; the deserters generally taking . the Eighth, everything foreign which was . Tue Greatest Peru, tro Lreerry.—One of the greatest perils that besets the free States, says Guizot, is found in the aversion . of the ablest and best citizeus to bear office. _ The dictator’s purple was thrown over Cin. cinnatus while he was following the plough, . Washington, whose history suggested the . remark of Guizot, did not leave private . life until he was summoned by the voice of ‘his country, and withdrew again to the . Shades of retirement as soon as the sense of duty to his country left him at liberty to consult his inclinations; as Cincinnatus went back to till his little farm of four acres when he saw his country reseued from the perilous crisis, which required bis services, The remarks of Guizot will be found eupported by the history of all republies, and even monarchies which are administered with any regard te law and popular rights, The very menin whose hands power is most safely trusted, are least disposed to seek it and bold it; most averse to the _ humiliations and vexations which are generally necessary to get office and keep it, /and mostin love with the independence, the tranquility, the free and full scope and Sway of individuality, which can only be had in private life. No man can govern . others without parting with something of his own freedom. And this is the very last . thing that a man ofa high moral and intellectual order is willing to part with. The power, the gains, or the notoriety of office are to them a small compensation for the surrender of liberty. Too Mvcnt Breap.—Barstow, who in story telling is inimitable, lately got off the following: Grundy was the captain of a Sound schooner, bad been for years, and a most excellent skipper, though fearfully given to bis grog. With bim, as mate, was Jack Brown also an irreclaimable devotee to King Bao. chus, It was the custom, as is yet, we believe, for the owners to advance Captains a small amount for the purchase of. small stores. On the eccasion referred to, the sum of fifteen dollars was allowed, "Just before weighing anchor Captain Grandy called his cook, alad of fifteen years, saying, “Jack, go ashore, and get fifteen dollars worth of stores”’—(and with a knowing wink)—“you know what kind to buy, and see that the supply is very good.’”’ Soon . after, the lad was seen returning with a gro. cer’s wagon, when Capt. G. says, ‘Well, Jack, my boy, what have you bought?” “Fourteen dollar’s worth of rum and one dollar’s worth of bread.”” “Blast your ignorance, you stupid clown, what are you going to do with all that bread? You should have bought more rum!” said the enraged captain, Let Lovistana Loox Ovr ror Her SvGAR.—A compiled statement ~* Mr. Champovier, of the sugar cro: Louisiana, shows “that the tetal produc. of that State from 1834 to 1868, inclusive, a period of . twenty-five years, was 4,014,709 hogsheads, . valued at $248,139,260; and that of this quantity the Atiantic ports took 1,485.65 hogsbeads, and the Western States 2,314,. 454 hogsheads,”’ It should be remembered that the sugar crop of Louisiana is fully . protected by a duty on foreign sugars of . twenty-four per cent., and that should she secede, her crop would be brought into. direct competition with the sugar crop of the West India Islands, with which she has never yet been able to compete withovt such protection. Under such circumstances can she afford to sacrifice by secession such . great and important interests, and lay her . plantations waste at the “beck and bid’’ of . South Carolina? How Tuey Dritt at tae Sovrn.—A young lady from Vermont, teaching in a . townin Georgia, writes to her parents, } thus: . ‘The people here are very much excited . over the election of Mr. Lincoln. Yesterday they formed a military company among ‘the young men, with a view to the exigen. cies of the hour, and to-day they came out to drill. The most remarkable part of that performance toa Yankee girl was to see each soldier have a negro along to carry his gun.”’ SarewD Remarx.—The Mariposa Gazette alluding to the Presidert’s prayerful proclamation as a desperate cwedy for exist. ing troubles, says: “Thy people of the North will hardly say much to the Lord on the subject, for they consider his good providence remarkably manifest in the election of Lincoln, _ Tae Cardinal de Richlieu, when inereas ing every day in power, met, coming dowu . the steps of the Louve, the Duke d’Espernon, who had formerly been the principal favorite of the king. ‘What news above there, my lord duke ?” he asked. ‘“None,”’ , answered the other, ‘‘except you are com. ing up, and J am going down.” 5 4 g / :
