HUMBLE LIFE

There is happiness in humble life-who
Gun doubt it? The man that owns but 9
acres of land, and raises an ahun-
dance to supply the wants of his family,
can ask for nothing more. If he is salts
fed with his condition, (snd there are
thousands so situated who are, no man Is
more happy. No political movements dis
turb his repose; no specializing mania chases
thecalm serenity from his. mind; no schisms in
the church throw shadows beneath his gol-
den sky. His family is the world to him.
Who sighs not for such a life of callnness
and serenity? Amidthe cares and anxieties
of business, who would not exchange his
prospects and his honors, for the rePose Of
him who is contented and happy on his spot
of ground, far from the noise and hustle Of
city life. If there is a situation congenial
to the true spirit of man, the growth Of it
is amid the rtjoicings of nature; in the calm
retirement of rural life.

IN poRTANT FROM MEXICO.

Ia L cltA NO%
From tie n. o. Commercial Times. Au-
gust "a. .
Through the politeness Of an eminent
commercial house, we have just been
placed in possession ofthe following MOol
IMPORTANT intelligence from Mexico
The news was received by British man.
of-war, which touched at the BAlize with
dispatches from the British Minister at
Mexico for his Government.
The purport Of these dispatches is, that
the United States have taken possession OF
the CALIFORNIA;, and that the revolution
favor OF Santa Anna is complete.
We subjoin the following letters, from
which it will be perceived that the steamer
Arab, with Santa Anna on board, was in
sight of Vera Cruz on the 10Th inst
VERA CRUz, Aug 16, 1916.
Awaiting ourselves Of the opportunity BY
a British man-of-war, we have just time to
state..tIat Mexico, and Puebla have since
also pronounced for Federation and Santa
Anna. Bravo's Government, hardly es-
tablished, was overthrown, and General
Salas has put himself at the head of the
movement until Santa Anna may arrive.
Tranquility was soon restored. Gomez
Farias aided the partizans ofSanta Anna,
to bring about the revolution. His sons
have come down here to welcome Santa
Anna, who left the Havana or the 9th,
IN a British steamer, called the Arab,
accompanied by Afmote, Haro y Ia
maniz, Reion, and Doves, and thus ought
to be here every day.
Gen Parades was taken a prisoner, and
is kept in the citadel of Mexico.
Gen. Salas has issued already a letter of
cOnvocation of Congress, on the principles
of 1924, and the members are 10 assem-
bic at Mexico on the 9th December next
The present conveyance carries the
news of the annexation Of California to the
United States, received last night by al
express at the British Consulate.
VERA CRuz, Aug. IS 1876.
Advices have just been received by ex.
press of the formal Annexation of Califor.
MIA to the United States! and this vessel Of
war takes the British Minister'S despatche:
to New Orleans and to England.
The whole country has declared in "a
vor of Santa Anna, who left Havana fol
here on the Arab steamer, but has not ye'
arrived, which makes his friends rather
anxious for his safety.
