. was foaming about him,
peons again threw stones at him and he continued his path, and reached me iu safety. Several others followed.
At last, a young mule, carrying a portmanteau, with two large sacks of provisions, and
many other things, in passing the bad point,
struck his load against the rock, which knocked
his two hind legs over the precipice, and loose
stones immediately began to roll from under
them. However, his fore legs were still upon
the narrow path. He had no room to put his
head there but he placed his nose on the path to
his left, and appeared to bold on by his mouth,
lis perilous fate was soon decided by a loose
mule which came after him, and, knocking his
comrade’s nose off the path, destroyed the balance, aud, heels over head the poor creature
instantly commenced a fall which was_ really
quitefterrific. With all his baggage firmly lash.
cd to him, he rolled down the steep slope, until .
he came to the part which was perpendicular ;
and then, seeming to bound off, and turning
around in the air, fell into the deep torrent on .
his back, and instantly disappeared,
I thought, of course, that he was killed; bat .
he rose, appearing wild and scared, and immediately endeavored to stem the torrent which
Tor a moment he succecded, but the eddy suddenly canght the great
load on his back, and turued him completely
over, Down went his head, with all his baggage, and he was carried down the stream, As
suddenly, howeverhe came up again; but he
was now weak, and went down the stream, turned around and around by the eddy, until, pass.
ing the corner of the rock, I lost sight of him.
I saw, however, the peons, with their lassoes
in their hands, run down the side of the torrent
. for some little distance; but they soon stopped,
and, after looking towards the poor mule for
some seconds, their earnest attitude gradually
relaxed, aud when they walked’ towards me, J
saw at a distance a solitary mule walking towards us. We instantly perceived that he was
the same whose fall we had just witnessed, and
in a few moments he came up to us to join his
comrades.
Dr Bares.—When this gentleman was elected
to the office of Treasurer of State, the people
seeemed to feel confident that we had at length
secured the services of at least one officer, in
whom dependence could be reposed, and it was
with pain that we chronicled the. very graye
charges which haye been recently brought
against him.
Even now, although everything looks so dark
and suspicious, we cannot but indulge the hope,
that he is not morally guilty of any overt acts
of dishonesty, but we ave forced to the conclusion, that he bas been criminally negligent and
ignorant of the duties of his office.
Others, we think, have reaped the profit,
whilst he has to endure the censure. We trust
that in this opinion we may not be disappointed, and that the investigation of the charges
against him may present his conduct in a light
favorable at least to the honesty of his intentions. If such men as we have always believed
Dr. Bates to be are not to be trusted: if the
sight of gold can destroy moral principle in
them, where can we hope for faithfulness ?—
Whilst living with us, Dr. B. seemed to show a
total disregard for gain, or he might have accumulated a handsome competency by his practice, but he was always lenient in his collections
and the poor always commanded his services,
as readily, and indeed more so, than the rich.
He now lies under a grave charge, for malfeasance and embezzlement in office, and in this
condition we cannot but drop a tear to the mem.
ory of the past, and express the hope that he
may convince the world that he is not criminal.

Tur Girt ww Rep.—Cassius M. Clay tells the
following:
During the late political canvass, Burlingame
and himself occapied ‘adjoining rooms at the
Bates House, [ndianapolis. “At a late hour
one evening,”’ says he, “I was in B's. Room and
both of us were somewhat elated with the pop.
mar enthusiasm. We were. as old soldiers are
wont to do, fighting our battles over again,
when a fine band right opposite my room poured
o’er the sea of night floods of soul-stirring music. ‘Clay, you are honored,’ said B., ‘go and
acknowledge the compliment.’ With due diffidence I excused mysilf; when, as I anticipated,
the band broke forth anew in strains of heroic
melody ia front of the room occupied by B. ‘1
ment.’ ‘No, you,’ said B, ‘Well,’ said T, ‘both
together,’ so, lockiug arms, with an air of intense dignity, we-walked out upon the balcony,
and in a faltering voice, I commenced: ‘Indiana,
Massachusetts, and Kentucky—triple sisters—
may they ever be true to the family union!’
The leader of the band, after a pause, with a
thick tongue, inquired, ‘Who are you?’ ‘Clay
and Burlingame,’ said I. “The deuce you are.’
said he in reply; and then, in an undertone, addressed to his followers, he concluded: ‘Boys,
it’s not the girl in red!’ ”’
Australian Wixes.—The following in relation
to the wines produced in Australia, is copied
from the Empire. These wines are daily growing in favor among the colonists:
“The wines of this colony are essentially Australian. In general character they assimilate
to the light French and German wines; some are
considered by connoisseurs to resemble Hock,
Sauterne, Claret, Burgundy, cte., but no attempt is made to imitate these or any other wines.
Of course the vines are in variety, but from
whatever description of grape the wines are
made, each vineyard bas Pal et local character

wines, though classified generally according to
their locality of manufacture, are named individually by the discription of grapes from which
they are made. ‘
Tur Birp or tux Tottiwwe Bert.—Among the
highest woods and deepest glens of Brazil, a
sound is sometimes heard, so singular that the
. noise seems quite unnatural; it is like the dis. tant and solemn tolling of a bell struck at long
intervals. This extraordinary noise proceeds
from.a bird called the aropango, The bird sits
}on the top of the highest tree in the deepest
forest, and though constantly heard in the most .
desert places, itis very rarely seen. It is impossible to conceive any thing of a more solemn .
. character than the profound silence of the .
. woods, broken only by the metalic and almost
. supernatural sound of this invisible bird, com. ing from the air. and seeming to follow where
ever you go. The aropango is white, with a
circle of red around its eyes. Its size is about
that of a small pigeon.
Ovr QuicistLver Mrxes.—The New Almaden
mine, situated about twelve miles south-west of
San Jose, is an immense concern. It is assessed .
at between $700,000 and $800,000, and pays
over $17,000 taxes annually. The mine is almost inexhaustible, and furnishes profitable
employment fora large number of mechanics .
and laborers. The Guadalupe mine is situated
about three miles from the New Almaden; the .
metal is (some of it) equally as rich, but much
“spotted,’’ and lies down below the bed of the .
creek. If the Guadalupe mine, remarksa writer .
in the San Andreas Independant, had sufficient

tiago, a person would suppose that it ought to pounds, and in numerous places, small disintemouth; and presently, whether from the effect
of this drug, or of some trick which I could not
detect, the arms, which had been crossed over
his breast dropped off themselves, and in less
than twenty minutes, by the watch, the body
recovered its flexibility. I attributed this phenomenon to the action of some subtle poison but
was assured that the Dosia powder, so far from
being poisonous, was a most excellent medicine
in child-bearing, for discase of the eyes, and for
other maladies. An infusion of this powder taken even in perfect health, is said to have virtues which eause it to be in request among the
Japanese of all classes—TIt cheers the spirits and
refreshes the body. Itis carefully tied up ina
white cloth and dried, after being used, as it
will serve a great number of times without losing its virtues.
In the late debate in the House of Representatives upon the charge, made by the editor of
the N. Y.7%mes, as to the attempts of members
of Congress to bribe each other, the Hon. A. K.
Marshall of Kentucky is reported to have said:
“IT care not whether he be the ex-Lieut Governor, or the Lieut, Govervor, or Governor of the
State of New York, That character, whatever
it may have been, is merged into that of the
editor of a partizan newspaper. I look upon
him in that light and no other, He stands before
this House as the editor of a newspaper influenced
and controlled by all. the bias and interest which we
know do control men in that position; and T ask this
body whether it docs not. become them, their
own dignity and honor, to base the investigation
upon such information as is given to them by a
niember of their own body, in preference to
basing it upon an editorial ina newspaper, no
matter whether it emanates from a Governor or
a Lieut. Governor! le ts but the editor of a newsprper, and I would not pay any man of that character
the sort of respect which such action would seem to do.”
We like Dr. Marshall very well, but his being
a member of Cougress gives him no right to
sneer at editors as a class. ‘To be sure, editors
can afford to be sneered at by members of Congress, but members of Congress, considering
how they are generally made, can ill afford to
sneer at them. When Win. Penn, the Governor
of Penusylvania, was traveling in a portion of
the State where he was nof known, a fellow, in
whose presence the Quaker Governor presumed
to wear his hat, exclaimed with an air of offended dignity, “Sir, 1 would have you to know that
Tam a Justice of the Peace.” “Well, friend,”
said the Governor iu bis quict way, ‘7 make such
things as thee.”’
Most certainly there are many misrable creatures connected with the American press, yet
there are several editors in this country, each of
whom has exerted a deeper and stronger and
more enduring and more salutary influence upon the great mind of the nation than any member of the House of Representatives that Kentucky has sent to Washington city since Henry

LaMakting axp Brron.—In appearance, Lamartine bas something that recals Byron; the
same beauty of feature and expression: the same
habits of elegance and dandyism; the same
rather haughty, and perhaps English, but noble
and distinguished carriage. If you add to this,
to complete the resemblanee, the retinue of a
great lord, a sumptuous mansion, full-blooded
horses, and a magnificent chateau, you will
conclude that, since the epoch of Tasso and
Camoens, times have somewhat changed, and
that it is possible now-a-days, to be an eminent
poet without dying in a hospital.
