IMPORTANT FROM MExrCo.-The New
Orleans Troplc says: We learn from let
tiers which appear in late Mexican papers,
that the recent proceedings of Commodore
Jones, at Monterey, are not the only grounds
Of complaint the Mexican government have
against this country. Ell Siglo Dicz Nj
eue publishes three letters from the new Gov
ernor of California, stating the particulars of
what he terms an outrage on his government
at the port of San Diego. From the state
menl given, it appears that during the month
OF November, party of men entered that
port, and spiked eight cannon belonging to
the tortiication. The officers of the brig A.
lert, bearing the L. S. flag, are charged with
the perpctralion of this offence, as she was
seen Of Ne port some days before, and sew
cral boaSnlled with men were passing be-
tween the vessel and shore, about the time
of the alleged offence. In his own peculiar
style, the Governor invokcs the action of the
Supreme Government in this business.
REVENUE OF MExCo.-By the annexed
statement it will be seen that there has been
great falling off in the amount of duties on
imports at the port of Vera Cruz within the
past year. We give the statement for the
three past years.
In 1910 the duties were S3545 10000
lSll =" 3,S5l,23000
l642 l,950,5i50g
This shows falling off, within the past
year, of 81 ,942 ,6S5, and this at the time
when the government, under the rule of Sam
ia Ana, has been at far greater expense than
formerly. Nearly every cent that Santa Ana
can rake and scrape, as matter of course,
goes toward paying off the immense military
establishment he has raised and organized to
carry out his ambitious projects. He will
soon be unable to keep the people, who des-
plse him, under subeclion, and then for a.
mother revolution. 1t is certain to come.
sooner or later, for the people cannot submit
to their present expressions long.-[N. o.

PORTRAIT PAINTING.

We do not redollect to have seen lately a
more perfect likeness of a modern "lemo-
crat than is presented in the following ex-
tract from the Utica, n. Y. Gazette. 1t is
the work of true artist and deserves to be
in the Apollo saloon:
GEORGE McDurr1E.-The democracy Of South
Carolina have elected to the Senate, in the place of
VIM. G. Preston, George McDuffie. This is fit
choce Tor the Democracy of State, where there are
more slaves than ireemen. George McDufieis free
trade ruIiier, of the fercest character. He has dis
unguished himself like of other southern pO-
ticlans, not by logical, sound argument but bv his
abusive tempest in a tea pot defamation. In the
year 1854 soon after the memorable abolition excite
ments, soon after the robbng OF the mail in Charles
ton soon after sundry hangngs and shooIincs, and
burnngs characteristic of al the chvary, he
tured, Ike Saul, 10 make his appearance among the
prophets. And his prediction was as follows, to wit
that tn less than quarter Of q century, tbs North
could hare TO adoy Siarery,+ "the corner stone of
the republican edIticc, as part Of her system, or
universal suffrage would lay her liberties in the dust,
and despot would lrampI' her down. In his opin-
ion the labolng classes unfit TO be entrusted with
power, and the sons of industry must slaves, wear
Ing the collar and chain. What do you think Of such
sentiments, working men, democrats Of the North?-
How like you such ga definition of POSITION" on the
part of your fellow soldier in the loco ioco warfare
This wonderfully wise prophe-th,s largest, liberty
democrat will make capital legislator for the inter-
csts OF orr farmers and mechanics. He would reduce
them TO the condition OF a chatel. lie would confer
upon them the lnes!imable blessings of South Carroll
ma slavery. NcDuIie is but a shadow OF Calhoun.-
He echoes but the words of the great arch nullier
the defender par excellence of slavery in the abstract
He is his humble follower, the most ohedent soldier
in his camp and all the weight Of his influence will
be employ ed in procuring his nomination for the Pres
idency. The ocofoco lahorcrs will yet be called up
to snnc,ionby their votes, the democracy of George
Med ltlic, and John C. Calhoun.
." The institution Of slavery superscles the neces
sity OF an order Of nobility. 1t will be fortunate for
the non. slaveholdlng States if they are not driven

BRINE YOUR HAY.

1t may be well to remind some of your rea.
ders of the advantage of sailing their poor fod.
der, at intervals through the winter, both for
cattle and sheep.
Lay by all your hay, stalks. straw, &C., that
are coarse or damaged, then once or twice
week, in warm days, or moderate weather,
brine this refuse hay and other feed to one
pail of water add one pint of salt /; sprinkle
this brine on one large fork full of dry food, and
you will find that all or most of il will be con.
sumed' though some locks may not be impreg.
mated with salt
Several important advantages may be gained
by this treatment.
First, you will dispose Of all your poor fod.
der; second, the stock will eat il with avidity
and look full in warm days, when toerably
'od feed may lay before them rejected, or eat.
EN- with reluctance third, it answers every
purpose OF otherwise sailing the stock, az they
should be fourth, you will not lose one. half
the number OF animals, especially sheep, as you
would to manage any other way.

there be a generous ambition and constant
stimulus to enterprise in all the departments
of human industry and activity. When the
heart beats, the impulse is felt throughout
the frame and you cannot quicken the
stream of life in any one part, without &C
celebrating the calculations through the whole
body. Go on, then, trying always to do
better and better. While every other art is
advancing in the career of improvement,
almost with the speed of locomotive en-
CINE, the farmers should whip up their team,
and not be distanced in the competitions
There is beautiful circumstance connected
with agricultural emulation. In many of the
pursuits of life, one man gets rich by max
ing another man poor. He climbs the lad
der by putting his foot on another mans
shoulder; or, he builds his own dwelling
out of the fragments of his neighbours,
which he has undermined. This is often a
crying injustice, and inAicts many bitter
notifications, or arouses vindictve and IT,
ger passions. Emulation in agricultural i'm
provement enkndles no such baleful fres.-
A man can make no improvements in hus-
bandry, without at once extending the
knowledge and advantages of them TO 9TH
ers. The enlargement of the capacities of
the soil, and every increase of its produce
tons, confers an immediate benefit upon the
whole community."-Coleman.

leans"
lie was the first mate of the new shin
General Parkhill, Capt. ]. d. Wilson, upon
which mutiny occurred in February, 1889,
when at anchor in the harbor of St. Marks,
Florida, Capt. Wilson and his passengers had
gone ashore in two boats, when the second
mate and seven men rose, severely wounded the
mate, confined him, robbed the shin, and made
their escape in the best boat belonging to the
vessel. Two of them were caught, tried and
imprisoned, the rest were never found. Last
summer this gentleman was in New-York, Just
before the Somers sailed, and when passing
her in boat, saw man leaning over the side O!
the vessel whom he recognised to be one of the
mutineers, who passed by the name of Camp
bell, but whose real name was Cromwell. He
tried to get on board to state this to the Cap.
tain, but was prevented by the officer on deck
supposed to have been Mldshipman Spencer
A letter has been written to the Court of Inqui-
ry detailing these particulars, which we think
will throw considerable light upon the affair.

TO MAKE HENS LAY PERPETUALLY

! never allow cocks to run with my hens, en-
cept when want to raise chickens. Hens will
lay eggs perpetually if treated in the following
manner. Keep no ROSTERS; give the hens
fresh meat chopped fine Ike sausage meat,
once day, very small portion, say half an
ounce day to each hen, during winter, from
the time insects disappear in the fall, till they
appear again in the spring Never allow any
eggs to remain in the nest, for what is called
nest eggs. When the ROSTERS do not run with
the hens, and no nest eggs are left in the nest,
the hens will not cease laying after the produc.
ton Of twelve or fifteen eggs, as they always
do when ROSTERS and nest eggs are allowed /:
but continue laying perpetualy. My hens al.
ways lay all winter. and each from seventy-five
to one hundred eggs in succession. There
being nothing to excite the animal passions
they never attempt to set. II the above plan
were generally followed, eggs would be just as
plenty in winter as in simmer. The only
reason why hens do not lay in winter as freely
as in summer, is the want of animal food
which they get in summer in abundance in the
form of insects. The reason they stop laying
and go to setting, after laying a brood OF eggs,
is the continual excitement Of the animal pas
sons by the males. | have for several winters
reduced my theory to practice, and proved its
entire correctness. II must be observed that
the presence of the male is not necessary for
the production OF eggs, as they are formed
whether the male be present or not OF course
such eggs will not produce chickens. When
chickens are wanted, the roosters must of course
run with the hens.-CuLipator. Comm.

Phillips and Dawson, upon whom my eye
was fixed at The time, looked perfectly aghast
with fright.
Hanks supposi,ion of the ultimate destiny
of his famous gun wiz. going to the sporting
dominions of the Great Hunter below could

of the blackened muzzle was found next

the well curb which lay shattered around,
broken 10 spinters by the explosion of the

outright when it was shown him by Phillips +;
who, with generosity could not sufficient

the hoary weapon of Hanks affections with
his own light eastern rife; saying at the same
time that he had Kentucky tool at home
which he much preferred to the Pennsylva-

No man can ever borrow himself out of
debt. If you wish for relief, you must work
for it.-You must make more and spend less
than you did while you were running in debt.
You must wear home-spun instead OF broad
cloth, drink water instead of champaign, and
rise at four instead of seven. Industry, fru-
gality, economy-these are the landmarks of
wealth, and the sure sources of relief. A dol
earned is worth ten borrowed, and dol
lar saved is better than forty times its amou
in worthless gcwgaws. Try this scheme ~
is much better than TO depend upon bank fa-
vors, and a thousand times more honorable
than a resort to the BANKRUPT law.

APPEARANCE.

81 would have the windows of the farm
house adorned with flowers, not in rusty-tin
measures, and old black glazed tea-pots, and
glass bottles with the necks broken off, but
in whole and handsome flower-pots. or neat
ly painted wooden boxes, for they really cost
nothing. l would have the piazzas or por-
ches treised with vines, even with scarlet
runners, if nothing better can be had. l
would have the door-yard filled with flowers
and shrubbery, and the roadside lined with
trees-herc clump and there a single line,
minglng the varieties as nature mingles them
-cullivating them for fruit, and cultlvatlng
them for mere ornament and beauty. But
this is all, you will tell me, for appearance
sake. Well. is appearance nothing? Did
you think nothing of appearance when you
chose your wives! and nothing of your own
appearance when you wished them to con-
firm the election? But why should the
pleasures of sight be so lightly esteemed
Why should they be spoken of in the Ian
guage of disdain or indifference Are they
not as rational, as respectable, as valuable,
as abundant, as innocent, as the pleasures
of the other senses! Are they not, indeed
the very elements of some of the most re-
fined pleasures of the mind and heart? Has
God given us the sense Of sight, so Won
derful, so capacious, so infinitely varied in
its resources and objects, for no purpose !?
Is appearance nothingl What is more
studied throughout the Creators works 3
What object is there in nature, from the
highest to the lowest, animate or inanimate,
swimming in the sea or in the air, on the
surface, or buried in the earth, which is not,
upon examination, found to be as beautiful
as if it were finished for no other purpose
than to be looked at?

THE EFFECTS OF MOUNTAINS.

Geology, in its goings back and its read
ings of the earth's history, finds time when,
"before the circulation of the waters COM
menced, no alluvial lands, and scarcely even
soil, could have existed because these have
been produced by the operation ofthe water.
1t was therefore an earth of naked rocks and
sea-" Science finds a time too, when the
earth was fluid mass, surrounded by an at
mosphere, taking the globuar form under the
influence of rotation, and forming into rock
or sand on its surface as it cooled down.
Such globe-fuid-would, when revolving
on its axis, acquire nearly level surface (;
its waters would not circulate freely they
would be stagnant; and the soil could nour-
ish but few Of the plants on which men and
animals feed. But our earth was 10 be made
the fit home for men and the many animals.
How was this accomplished The pent-up
fires in earth's centre were in Gods hand.
The volcanoe was his agent. By that the
mountains were piled up-then the waters
flowed away-'the dry land appeared'-the
mountains helped to condense into clouds
around their own heads the floating vapors
and cause the rains to fall most abundantly on
their high tops, where they should become the
fathers ofbrooks and rivulets, and springs and
mighty rivers. The mountains which draw
down the rains and feed the rivers, are
among the mighty agents that fertilze the
earth. Quickly dried by the elevation which
causes their waters to flow away, and fire.
quenly moistened by rains, their surfaces
give home 10 many of the valuable plants
and trees, while the waters that flow down
their sides, carry from the mountains the
matter which composes the many fertile
intervals. Upheave a mountain in the
great desert of Sahara, and few ages will
find the region far around. as fertile as the
sides and foot of Atlas, Or as the plains that
skirt our western mountains. ED. N. E. F.
