SOCIAL PHENOMENA IN CALIFoRNIA-On of the
most interesting features in the extraordinary state
of society now in process of formation in California
is the appearance, among the new and mixed races
that have flowed into that country, of many females
from New South Wales, and other English penal
settlements in the West Pacific, and their union,
in matrimony, with emigrants, mostly their own
countrymen, who have come from the opposite di-
rection of the globe. We observe several marriage
notices in the California papers, in which the brides
are stated to be from New South Wales This is
certainly strange result, and reminds US of SINH
lar the history of several of the older States
with whose early population there was intcrmin-
gled a considerable number of convicts. These
people proved good settlers, for with the change Of
situation and circumstances, their manners and
habits also change.
Many of these convcts are the victims of bad laws
of poverty, of social inequalities and the other evils
incident to the forms of government prevailing in
the nations Of the old world. When removed to
new arenas of action, and allowed freer scope for
their energies, and better fields for their labor and
capabilities, they become good citizens and raise
up respectable families. Rome was settled by the
outcast population Of the old cities of the old
world, yet where do find a sturdier, honester,
or more powerful race than that which sprung
from this stock? &c. we trust and believe it will
be with California. Many will go there who have
been prescribed by the laws of old countries, and
will re-establish characters and become useful
members of society Let not therefore, the con-
victs from New South Wales be regarded with pre-
JUDGE and unkindness in Territory Let
them all have chance, and, should they prove
worthy and respectable, be rewarded accordingly.

UNRoLLINe A MuMMY.-Mr. Gliddon promises 10
crafty the curiosity of Boston in few days, by
unwrapping one of the Oldest of the Egyptian mum
mics which he has in his possession. He has Sc
lected the sarcophagus Of noble Theban woman
for his operations, and has already taken off the
outer case, which is made of what is termed cart
onage, species of carefully cemcnted pasteboard.
The head and face ofthe embalmed body are gilded,
and have the appearance of being cast taken of the
features. The name of the person enclosed ac-
cording to Mr. Glddon's renderings of the hero
glyphics, was Anch-ph, daughter of priest and
scribe of Thebes, Gotthroth-e; and from the style
of the hieroglyphics and fashion Of the embalm-
ment, there are strong reasons to believe, though
this cannot be settled until the mummy is opened,
nineteenth dynasty-say between the twelfth and
fifteenth centuries b. C.-that is, within hundred
years of Moses, whom, for aught assert to
the contrary, she may have known.
IL appears, then, that
" Perhaps this very hand, now pinioned fat
Has hob-a- nobbed with Pharoah glass to glass"
But it is quite certain that il never
dropped hall. penny in Homer's hat,
Or dofied her own to let Queen Dido pass"
hand pinioned fiat, before Homer sung Dido was
born.
The mummy which Mr.. Gliddon is about to open
is said TO be an uncommonly good specimen. There
are myriads OF common mummies Mt Thebes and
Memphis; but IL is mere chance to be able at either
Of those cities, TO obtain a fret class mummy.
Since 1885, Mohammed Ais ministry have forbid
den the expectation of antiquities to any but agents
OF European governments, so that it is almost i'm
possible, at this day, to export a mummy, if OBJ
tanned; and but for the influence which his long
residence In Egypt affords him with friends there,
even Mr. Gliddon would have been unable TO pro-
cure any. As il is, he has been four years waiting
for the arrival of this from Egypt; permission hav-
ing been successfully refused by Mohammed Ali,
and by Ibrahim Pasha; and il was only obtaine ed
fortuitously, from the present Viceroy.
IL is understood that several of the scientific gem
tlemen of Boston will be present at the opening;
Jackson, Holmes, Bowditch, and wardlawg

from this amount all the expenses of the line, in
Cured during the nine months, the president was
understood say that the treasuers report showed
balance Of 1871 1896 60, which had been applied to
the liquidation of the debts with which he found the
company saddled upon his assuming the admins
tration Of its concerns.
The amount OF the company's debts now remain
ing unpaid is small, consisting only ola few bonds,
which would soon be taken up. He estimated the
average nett receipts Of the line, while in good
working order, at 10000 per month; and the ex
penses at $4,000, or less, per month. The total
amount of stock issued is not far from $570,0OO
As soon as the condition of the finances will war
rant the expenditure, Mr.. Alexander stated it to be
the intention Of the directors to put up second
wire between this city and Mobilenot on the same
poles now in use, but on line of new ones near the
present track. By this means he thinks the com :
muncation between the two cities will be secured
almost entirely without interruption.

WoRpswoRTH, the poet died on the 23d of April
on the banks of his Westmoreland, and beneath the
shadow of the mountain, 10 both of which he i'm
parted undyng vitality. His age was 80. He
was according to our notion, a true and pure, not
a great poet. His tastes all refined, and his
teachings were from the school of nature and ma
lures God He liked more the calm and contem-
templative than the bold and striking. He adored
the beautiful earth and the revered in heaven;
and, doubt not, died in the delightful anticipa-
ton of perfect bliss and quiet beyond the grave.
We wish space would permit us to speak of
Wordsworth we could desire, for in many things
he Of our heart, and with whom we
have at times held most delightful communion.
Wordsworth, when he died, the poet laureate
of England, the successor of Southey; and he
was also the Distributor of Stamps for the counties
of Westmoreland and Cumberland, which, with a
small income from the earnings Of his pen, gave
him very comfortable support.-N. Y. Erpess

DEATH OF A PoETEss.--The New York papers
of Monday record the death Of Mrs. Frances Sar-
gent Osgood, which occurred at her residence in
that city ON Sunday afternoon. We are indebted
to the Express for the following brief sketch of her
life add character:
sMRs. FRANCES S. OsGooD, one of the sweetest
of poetesses OF the loveliest of women of whom
her country, as well as wide circle Of appreciat-
ing friends, have long been Justly proud Is dead
She was born in Boston, where she resided % TO the
time oil her marriage with the accomplished paint
er, whose works we'll known by all the lovers
OF art, in this city She began quite early in life
(when Miss Locke) 10 contribute TO the periodicals
and from child gave tokens of the abilities which
In her maturity she so brilliantly displayed. She
accomplished great DEAL in the course of her lite
rary career, as the examination of the very hand
some volume of her works recently brought out
Will abundanty prove. That book, we may re-
mark, has now double value, in afiording to the
admirer of her works and her worth speaking
likeness .of that intellectual and charming face
which they can never look upon again. Mrs Os-
good died of consumption. Though always deli
cate in health, the cheerfuness of her manners the
playfulness Of her fancy, the fascination of her
versation, which, glowing with wit, yet ever
tempered by quietness, rendered her as delight
full a companion as was her muse to those who
personally knew her not. Her husband who a
short time before her decease had returned from
California, where with some privation he had ac-
quired handsome competence, is left with two
daughters TO lament loss which to all of them will
be found irreparabe. We have not words at COM
mand now, while the intelligence is new to US, to
DO justice to character that. to be fully apprec
ated, must have been Familiarity known. We copy
a touching, truthful paragraph from the Tribune:
elm the prime Of life, the light and Joy Of 10y
ing household, with literary position, not lofty,
but crcditable, and fairly and faithfully won, the
clouds of misfortune and worldly care Just break
ing away from her onward path, we know no one
to whom continued life might seem more desirable
than to her. But though life opened brightly be-
fore her, the grave was not dark desoate, for it
was lighted by the sun Of blissful Immortality"

TWO YEARS OLD. By C. S. PERorvA1

AM her presence, much fear me,
Sets my senses in whlri
For book is open lying,
Full of grave philOsophylng,
And own I'm vsinly trying
There my thoughts to hold
But, in spite OF my essaying,
They will evermore be straying
To that cherub near me playing,
Only Two years old.
With her hair SO long and haxen,
And her sunny eyes of blue,
And her cheek SO plump and wayen,
She is charming to the view.
Then her voice, to all who hear it,
Breathes sweet. enhancing spirit
o! TO be forever nearit
Is a joy untold;
For t is ever sweetly telling
To my heart, with rapture swelling,
0fafsction inly dwelling
Only two years old
With a new delight IN hearing
All her sweet attempts at words,
In their melody endearing
Sweeter far than any birds
And the musical installing,
Which her baby lips are making,
For nv heart a charm is waking,
Fifmer in its hold
Than the charm so rich and glowing,
From the Romans lip o'erAowing
Then she gives look so knowing
Only two years old
New, her ripe and honied kisses
Honied, ripe, for me alone)
Thrill my soul with varied bisses,
Venus never yet has known.
When her twining arms are round me,
All domestic joy hath crowned me,
And a fervent spell hath bound me,
Never to grow cold.
o, there's not this side of Aidenn,
Aught with loveliness so laden
As my little cherub maiden,
Only TWO years old TLouisy Jour,
