Persons direct from California give

made a mistake Of one figure. II should
have been 50 day. We presume such

On the whole the accounts which we
CLEAN from California papers can hardly
represent truly the state of things. One

Ex-President Jefferson and the
COOper's Shop.


The following was related many years
since, by enc Of the parties, who was a
very respectable citizen Of Montgomery
county, Pa:
During the Presidential term Of
Thomas Jefferson, two young men CT
Pennsylvania, took a lease from him Of
his merchant mill at Monticello, one of
the stipulation Of which was that the
landlord should erect for their use, with
in given period, cooper's shop. The
time for meeting of Congress soon ar
rived, the President had to repair to
Washington TO attend to his official duties,
where he remained long time absorbed
in national concerns, and the building of
the cooper's shop, was entirely forgotten
by him. Not so with his tenants, whose
daily wants constantly reminded them of
the provision contained in the lease; and
finally they determined to erect it them
selves, and charge the cost of it to their
landlord. On the return Of the Presi-
dent to his mansion, the parties met to
settle long account current, which had
been running during his absence. The
items were gone over and scrutiniZed one
by one, ard all were found satisfactory,
bot the charge of building the cooper's
shop, to which he objected, alleging that
he could have erected it with his own
workmen. Several attempts were made
to effect settlement but they always
failed when they came to the cooper's
shop. The young men became warm
and jealous in the affair; and the parties
instead Of getting nearer together, found
themselves at every interview wider
apart.
In this state of affairs, the father of
the young men, who was a mild, aifable,
conciliating gentleman, possessing some
knowledge Of the world and its ways ),
arrived on a visit TO his sons, who in
formed him of their difficulty with their
landlord. He requested them to leave
it to him, observing that he thought he
could effect an amicable settlement in the
case. This course was accordingly ac-
coded 10, and in due time waited on the
President with the account. 1t was
scanned and agreed TO, except the charge
for building the shop, which, he said,
with some iirmness, he should not allow
for reasons stated. His opponent, OBJ
serving his apparent decision on the
subject, very gravely remarked: "Well,
friend Jefferson, it has always been my
practice through life, 10 yield rather than
TO contend" Immediately on this re-
mark being made, the Presidents chin
fell on his breast for an instant, when,
raising his head in an erect position, he
observed in very emphatic manner,
"a very good principle, Mr.. Shoemaker,
and can carry it as far as you can let
the account for the cooper's shop be al
lowed" Thus ended the difficulty, and
the parties continued their friendly re-
gard for each other till death separated
them. And the cultivation of a similar
disposition, "to follow peace with all
men," would terminate thousands of
difficulties, add much to the happiness
of individuals, and tend to promote the
general order Of society.-Farmer's Cab
