Funny Transiation.—Some idea of the
difficulties which attend the perfect acquirement of the English lunguage by foreigners may be gathered from the following
translation. The Calaveras Chronicle, referring to an accident which happened to a
portion of the room in which Senator Gwin
was lately speaking, said:
“A city paper states that when Senator
Gwin was speaking in a public ball in Plamas county, one of the sleepers gave way
. and fell.
The Echo del Pacifico very naturally
. translates the word “sleeper” so as to render the above incident as follows, in the
Spanish language:
“While Senator Gwin was pronouncing a
discourse, ina public room, one of his
sleeping hearers fell from his seat and made
an infernal noise,”’
Lucky.—The Alta says that a fine lot of
gold dust, from the Fraser river region, arrived in San Francisco a few days ago, in
the hands of Mr. F. Rode, a worthy adventurer from California, whose bad fick had
led him to believe that he migbt alter the
decree of the fickle goddess by changing
his locality. In October, 1859, he left San
Francisco, with scarcely more than funds
sufficient to carry him to British Columbia,
where his energy and habits of industry
have been rewarded with a handsome fortune. He has deposited with Messrs. Mol.
litor & Co. gold dust to the amount of $20,820, the proceeds of one year’s mining and
trading.
Weatru or New Beprorp.—New Bedford,
Mase., bas a greater aggregate of wealth,
according to the population, than any other
city inthe United States. In case of an
jequal distribution of property to every
male citizen ef the place, the amount would
. be more than $4,300 each; and, if divided
. among all the inhabitants, every man, wotan and child would receive a sum exceeding $1,000, The total valuation is $23,112,000; the number of males paying a poll
tax of $1 60, each, is 5,317.

Post Orrice Marrers.—The Postmaster
at Warsaw, Missouri, has received the following ‘‘warning’’ such as Napoleon’ sends
to the newspapers of France, when they
dare to act contrary to his will.
P.O, Depr’t, Appointment Orricr,
September 26, 1860.
Sir:—It is alledged that, in your political
action, you are “violent and uncompromising,’’ that “the friends of Mr. Breckinridge
can seldom receive at the post office decent
and respectful attention from you and your
employees,” and that efforts are being
made by the citizens for your removal on
the ground of “incompetency,’’ independently of party considerations,
Before deciding upon the case, the P. M.
General will wait a reasonable time for
such answers as you may wish to make to
these charges,
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
Horatio King, 1st Ass’t P, M. G.
W. R. Howser, Esq., P. M., Warsaw.
The Postmaster at Sonora has recently
changed his politics—having first declared
for Douglas. but subsequently coming out
for Breckinridge. Wonder if he received
a eimilar note from headquarters?
Hypropuosia.—A man, named Patrick
O'Donnell, recently died in Detroit from
the effects of a bite of a dog received four
months ago. The Advertiser of that city,
says :
On Thursday morning, the unmistakable
symptoms of the most terrible of diseases
were apparent, and from that time till Friday evening, when death was brought to
his relief, bis sufferings were of the most
intense kiod. The raising of the band, by
one several feet away, occasioned a terrible
shudder. “For God’s sake don’t do that,
you take my breath away,’’ he would g
out, There was a constant twitching of
every limb, eyes staring as if to leap from
their sockets, or clasping or clutching of
the hands aud the like, When in the spasms
he could scarcely be held. He would jump
up and bite at everything near. The sight
of fluid occasioned a most fearful exhibition
of perfect dread, and at no moment was the
unhappy man at rest. When not in the
spasms he was rational and conversed.
Karly in the day he spoke of death as certain, and would call his mother to him, embrace her and talk with her. His death we
understand to have been hastened by his
pbysicians, in mercy to him, after all imaginable means bad been taken to arrest the
disease. He often, when his sufferings were
severest, begged of those around him to
shoot him, or kill him in any way to relieve
him from misery.
Tae Necro Insurrection 1 Virginia.—
An eastern dispatch dated October 9th,
Bays:
Norfolk papers of Saturday give accounts
of a uegro plot in Princess Anne and Norfolk counties. Several arrests were made,
and the confessions of the arrested parties
show that a rising was contemplated Sanday night, and that the matter was instigated by free persons, some of them free negroes. Patrols had been organized, who
had shot a white man named Flyn anda
free negro named Smith, the latter not
killed. One of the arrested negroes says
there are twelve States in which a plan of
operations had been maturing since Jast
spring, and that a vessel was to arrive Saturday evening to assist in the liberation of
slaves. The Norfolk Herald says that sufficient testimony has been elicited since Friday to fully justify the strics policy of surveilance that was instituted. A ccnsiderable number of arrests of negroes have been
made. Nearly all the negroes on two or
. three plantations, on hearing of the affair,
took to the road, move from fright than
any thing else. A patrol force has gone in
. search of them.
Tite ALGERIAN JEWESS AND THE Empress.
—The Jewish ladies of Algiers intend to
present to the Empress Eugenie a very valuabie fan, formed out of white ostrich feathers, of about fifteen inches in length. Tbe
feathers are fixed in a golden disc, which is
ornamented round the outer edge with fine
pearls, rubies and emeralds; and in the
centre with arabesques in enamels on gold
of different colors, and with rubies, emeralds and diamonds. The handle is coral,
fluted with gold and ornamented with fine
pearls, The upper part of the handle is divided into two branches, ornamented with
arabesques, and having the imperial crown
in gold; the other end terminates in a gold, en ball, studded withwtars in diamonds, and
bearing a ring ornamented with rabies and
emeralds. On one side of the handle is a
large emerald, surrounded with a double
triangle, forming a star with six points ora with arabesques, rubies and briliants.
