On the grand route Of Pouille, in the lngdom
OF Naples, there was statue of marhy bearing
this inscription in the Neapolitan diart: @The

The first Of May having aleady passed, he de-

moment when the sun arose above the horizon,
he dug up the earth there, and found immense

WONDERFUL Story OF DoG.-Some wears

shire, there was in family woman who was
insane, confirmed maniac. A partition was
made by upright slabs secured in the floor of tho
| room, which was the common living room of
the family, and piece Of timber overhead.
Here she was constantly confined. A shower
coming up, all the members Of the family, wo.
men as we'll as men, went out in field adioin-
ing the house, to assist in raking and getting
in hay. A window was left open, the dog was
in the house, believe full, or cross Of the
shepherds dog. The family had been baking
and had thrown large quantity of Goals from
the oven into the large fire. place. The people
in the field heard the dog barking and bowling
and saw him jumping up to the window, in such
apparent distress and want of assistance, that
they concluded something was wrong at the
house; they accordingly dispatched one Of their
number to see what the trouble was with their
dog. The person came up, and looking in at
the window, witnessed the dogs opefationA
The mad woman had got out her pen, and
thrown Goals about the room. They set fire
to the floor. The dog would get hold Of the
woman and pull her away from the fireplace;
ne wonld then brush the Goals with his paws
and put ont the blaze on the floor; while he was
doing this the woman would get to the fireplace
and scatter out the coalsagain Again he would
pull her away, and then 60 to work to brush up
The Goals and put out the fire. But finding he
had more work to perform, the fire kindling in
80 many places, he gave notice at the window,
and called for assistance. The person entered
The house, secured the woman, swept up the
Goals, put out the fire and returned to haying.
This is no doubt as true as half the wonderful
newspaper stories made up by scribblers who
AVE nothing else to do.

mander. If he had succeeded in reaching the
Northern ocean, through either of the unexplor-

the long space of time that has elapsed, he
should not have made his way down, either
through the Strait between Wollaston Island
and Victoria Land; or through the open sea

"1n the reply to an application made on

what was the bestto be done as soon as he had

rACN.!

During the pendoncy Of the discussion Of
the Compromise Bill and for some time after
wards, its friends were constantly asserting
with great confidence that California never
could be a slave State any way-that her cli-
mate and soil, productions &c. &c. all demon
strated her incapacity for slave labor. This
they knew perfectly we'll; It was perfect folly
to entertain the idea for one moment tina sla-
very could ever go to California, even il it
should remain a TER tory for years, and the
South shOuld have a fair oppprtunitJ oftesting
it,
Even without any law against its introduc-
ton, they swore that slavery never would go
there, and that it was absurd for the South TO
kick up a fuss about an abstraction.
That argument at the time was Intended to
reconcile us to the California fraud.
The other day Frcaner, the California cor
respondent ofthe P~icayune writes to that jour
nal, that there is q strong pro-slarery feeling
in that young State and predicts that her Con-
s%titution will be altered and slavery establish
ed there in less than two years.
This new idea is jumped at by the acquies
cent compromiser', and this new phase of the
subject is a perfect God.send for the harmony
mongers.
They are now as hrmIy Convinced that Cal,
ifornia will be a Slave State, 0hough her pre-
sent Constitution intcrdicts i) as they were a
few months ago that nature had decreed that
she should always be a free State.
This is a slight change of opinion that has
taken place with them, but that Is not uncom-
mon or wonderful with them, and will of
course excite no surprise.

1t has been frequently predicted by the Com

of the South has been most trmmphantly sus-
tanned and reelected by a very large majority
over all his competitors,
Some efforts we're made to get up a regularly
organized opposition to him in the person Of
Gov. Mcdowell, who had acquired some fame
by a right pretty speech about the "glorious
Union" the "Star s%pangled Banner'' and other
puerililiee, and his friends hoped that as a
union loping man he would supersede Mr., Ma.
son.
In this they were disappointed. Mason
received the vote Of every single Democrats and
also that Of IA Wings, the vote standing thus,

The President thinking The government
Of the United States has not its hands full
already, suggests the establishment Of an
Agricultural Bureau-snd recommends the
purchase of a National Farm,
o. course the abolitionists would here
have another field for fanaticism 10 cork
on, and would strenously resist the appli-
cation of slave labor on the Natlon'a Farm.
The "Sou,horn Press" thus notices that
portion Of the message.
"The President recommends the estab-
lishment of an Agricultural Bursau--and
the Secretary OF the Interior suggests the
purchase and cultivation Of a National
Farm-and proposes tha, it shall be Mount
Vernon"
We would like to know whether slave
labor will be employed there, or whether
Government will be holier than General
WAsnINoroN, and prohibit it. If slaves
are employed on the public farm, we hope
