A Cup Of WATER.

A gentleman, who arrived a, Stockton,
California, on the 30th of Sept. last. az
ter making the journey thi,her overland,
relates the following inciien, which took
place by the way:
1.-The SAND was knee-deep, Inc sun
broiling hot; not a tree was TO be seen;
there was no water, and their provisions
were all gone; fortunately, after passing
over about one hundred miles OF this hid
eous desert, they came across man who
had gone forty miles further. found a
good spring, and returned with two bar
rels of water. This water he first sold
for s. per gallon. then 81 per quart, then
$40 per pint; and as the emigrauts came
along, each almost choked to death and
completely exhausted, his prices raised.
and no sum he could name, within the
power of the poor emigrant, was refused
to be paid. When the water was nearly
al gole, man came along who for
three whole days and nights had drank
bulhalf pint OF fluid. He was almos,
dead, and begged for soma water The
answer was, Il have no, enough to last
myself and animals back TO the spring."
$50, 500. 500 was offered in succes-
sion for one little cup.full of water, and
the dealer refused ii! The wretched
emigrant threw down $500, all he had
in The world. and by main force graspsd
the cup and quenched his thirst"

BdiOcy.

DR.. Enos Stevens, Examining Agen,
for the Massachusetts Commissioners
for the prevention and cure of idiocy,
has manuscript work wherein occurs
the following:
"At Cambridge Poor House, there are
three we'll formed and strong brothers,
whose names are Joseph Cox, 23 years
old, George Cox, 20 and William Cox.
ls. These are all the children their
mother had-their father was respecta-
BILE mechanic. and has very intelligent
child by second wife. The mother OF
these idiotic boys was devoledly be-
nevolent woman, who often took mar
cotic drugs, and went ont whole days
and nights to visit and assist the sick a
mong her neighbors; leaving her own
children all put to sleep by laudanum,
(which is wine and opium. Every day
when they cried, and every time she
wished to go out, she pu. them all asleep
with laudanum. At length their whole
organization assimiiated to such stale
of body and mind, and they have grown
up to the size of manhood, with the av-
enues of their brains practically closed
by drugs; SO that they have merely in
fansile powers Of mind. and strength Of
bodies.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. i


SENATE.-Messrs. Foote and Downes
appeared in their seats.
After MIR. Gwynn's resolution for rails.
ing the salaries of District Judges in
California, which was agreed to, The pri-
yaie calendar was taken up, and several
bills were passed.
The Senate then went into Executive
session, and shortly after adjourned.
HoUsE.-A number of bills were in
troduced-among them one by Harris,
TO establish commercial reciproca,ion
between the United States and Canada,
and one granting public lands to Penn
sylvania TO aid in constructing the Penn
sylvania and Ohio Rail Road.
Mr.. Hall introduced bill granting the
right o. way to Missouri for The con-
slruction Of Railroad to ST. Joseph. -
Referred.
The delegate from New Mexico pre-
sen.ed his credentials. Referred.
On motion, the House resolved itself
into Committee Of the Whole on the
state of the Union. Some little confu-
sion ensued, and some effort was made
to take up the River and Harbor and
Cheap Postage bills. No measure.
however, was acted upon. The Com
mittee rose and the House adjourned.

South Carolina Legislature.

All kinds of didos are enacted by The
Disunionists in the Legislature of South
Carolina about these days. They seem
10 have a patent for making fools Of
themselves. In the House of Represen-
tatives, on the 29th, one Mr.. Perry offer
red a preamble and resolutions that the
Legislature heartily concur IN the pro-
sition of the Nashville Convention to
, convene southern Congress; that the
Judiciary Committee report bill for the
election of Representatives to such Con
vention; that in case Of any Southern
State refusing or neglect to appoint dele
gates, that it will be the duty of the
Governor TO appoint delegates TO such
States, to urge the people and Legisla.
ture to unite with other States in Con-
gress of the whole South.
Mr.. Wilkinson offered a resolution,
that the Governor be requested to ascer-
tain from the Federal Government the
purpose OF sending additional troops to
Charleston, and whether they were to re.
main at that port. This resolution was
adopted.
Another resolution was under discus
sion, declaring their determination not TO
elect Senators to Gil vacancies, and in
structing Senator Butler and the Repre-
sentatives not TO take their seats in Con-
gress. Also, resolution instructing a
Committee to report bill of non-inter-
course with all States that throw obsta-
Giles in the way of the enforcement of
the Fugitive Slave Law. Another res
olution was pending, prefaced with a
long preamble of grievances, that, in the
judgment of the Legislature, secession is
the proper remedy.
Also that South Carolina, sooner than
submit to TO the aggressions Of the Fed
eral Congress, will interposc her sover-
eighty TO shield her citizens from further
outrages and wrong, at every hazard.
1t should be remembered, while rea-
ding these doings of the chlvalry, that
all the Senators and Representatives are
in their seats in Congress; and that But
Ter has already got his arm up TO the ell
bow in the Treasury, on some pretended
claim of the State for reimbursement of
moneys expended by her. mo. Re

Discovery of Important Hislori-
cal NIauuScrints.

A very interesting discovery has re-
Gently been made among the manuscripts
which were saved from the pillage of the
Jesuils' College in Quebec.
II is well known by those familia-
with the resources of early American
history, that the publication of the Jes-
uit Relations, which furnish SO much of
interest in regard to the discovery and
early exploration of the region border
ing on our Northern Lakes, was discon-
tinued after the year 1872. Some were
known to have been written, but the
manuscripts were supposed to be lost
The Relations from 1872 TO 1879 inclu-
sive, have lately been discovered, and
among them manuscript containing a
full account of the voyages of Father
Marquette, and of the discovery by him
of the Mississippi river. II was un-
doubleday this manuscript which furnish.
ed Thevenot the text of his publication
in 1857, of "'The voyages and discove-
ries Of Father Marquette and of the
Sieur Joliet" The latter kept journal
and drew a map of their route, but his
canoe was upset in the falls of st. Louis,
as he was descending the ST. Lawrence
in sight of Montreal, and he lost them
with the rest of his effects.
What increases the value of the pres
ent discovery is, that the original narra-
tive goes much more into detail than the
one published by Theveno,. The motive
which prompted and the preparations
which were made for the expedition are
fully described, and no difficulty is found
in tracing lis route.
There is also among The papers an
autograph journal by Marquette, Of his
last voyage from the 25ih of Oct, 1874,
TO the 9th of April, 1875, a month be-
fore his singular death, which occurred
on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan
Also, chart of the Mississippi drawn
by himself, illustrating his travels. The
one annexed TO Thevenot's account above
referred TO. a copy of which is contain.
ed in the third volume of Bancrofl's His
tory of the United States, is manlesAy
incorrect, as there is variance between
the route of the Jesuit as traced on his
map, and that detailed IN his text. The
manuscript chart now rescued from OBJ
livion, reconciles all discrepancies, and
constitutes most interesting historical
relic. Chicago Democrat.

tS The holidays have come, and The
feelings which they usually bring with
them, appear to have taken entire pos
session of the community, who have en-
tered with more than ordinary zest into
all the exercises, festivities and amuse-
ments which time ard custom have pre-
scribed. Laying aside business and the
more weighty cares of life, the old and
more especially the young seem disposed
to give the reign to their feelings, and in
the way best suited to the tastes OF each,
to secure the greatest possible amount Of
enjoyment. Some prefer to celebrate the
supposed anniversary of the advent OF
our Divine Redeemer, by religious ex-
ercises, which seems TO us very appro.
pirate; others prefer the intricate mazes
of the ball room, while their motto is,
Son with the dance! let JOY be unconEned.' .
And the booming cannon has attraction
for some, and the smooth ice for others;
while rides, dinners and visiting ill up
the picture.

of its affairs; but we ven-

administration of its affairs; but we ven-
ture to say, that more expensive, i'm
provident and extravagant little State
cannot be found in the Union. With
high taxes and all ample revenue, the
Constitutional limits of the State in
debtedness is very easily reached, only
four years after the organization of the
State government. What seems very
strange to US is the fact that the expenses
of State printing amounts TO nearly one.
sixth OF the whole expense of the gov
eminent, for the last two years, with an
increase of one-third or about $4,000 for
the next two wears. There must be a
screw loose somewhere. The people
should look into this matter, or they
will find themselves shouldered with a
heavy State debt, not for improvements
for which they receive an equivalent, but
for foolish and unnecessary objects, prob
ably i'll payment to partizans for political
service. We have no doubt in the world
that the State printing could be done for
one fourth, certainly less than one-third
of the estimated expenses, if let to lie
lowest responsible bidder. If this is So
and we think it can be proved by the
testimony of disinterested printers, wo'd
not the people be pleased with the ar
rangemen,, and the saving. VIVA. say
