LIFE IN CALIFORNIA.

The Baltimore Sun publishes letter from San
Francisco dated March 3lst, from which we
make the following extract, giving picture Of
life in California:
Yankee Sullivan has made his debut in our
town, and gave an exhibition last evening. Ii
was we'll attended Admission SIS. The thea
tres and model artists are doing good business
The gambling saloons filled nightly, aud Jumps
of gold, weighing from two to eight pounds, may
be seen in the centre ofthe piles OfdoublOons and
dollars that adorn the monte table. These attract
the verdant, and many poor fellow returning
from the mines, homeward bound, with his lew
thousand dollars is soon stripped This hard-earn-
ed wealth, and returns to the mines again. And
find that those from the eastern States are the
most numerous among the victims. Many who
have never been beyond the precincts of a coun.
try village of New England, come here, shun all
places o! bad repute until they amass few thou
sand, then attracted by the tempting pile, and
wishing to double their savings, are in a few
hours penniess. The never failing resortto the
mines, they think will replenish their stock,
and they lose all their characteristic prudence
and caution. Men who at home would not pay
a half.dime for drink because it was extrava-
giant, here pay 25 cents without murmur. As
long TlIe Iis aud TaTiues ive forth their trea-
sures, so long will this contempt for money last.

Among all the pleasant things of lite-and The

now in operation eighty-nine Thousand sPindles,

THE ECONOMY OF GETTING MAR
RIED IN A HURRY.

I've Known some very mean men in my time, -
said Sam Slick. ''There was Deacon OVerreach,
now, he was so mean, he always carried hen
in his ig-bux when he travelled, to pick up the
oats his horse wasted in the manger, q lay an egg
fer his breakfast in the morning And there was
hugo Zimmerman, who made his wife dig POta-
toes TO pay for the marriage license. must tell
you that story of Hugo, Tor it's not bad one !;
and good stories, like potatoes, ain't as plenty as
they used to be when was boy. Hugo is
neighbor of mine, though considerably older than
be, and mean neighbor he is, too. Well,
when he was going 10 get married TO Gretchen
Klop, be goes down to Parson Rogers, at igby,
10 get a license. "Parson," says he, "what's
the price of license 2" ''Six dollars" says he.
"Six dollars!" saws Hugo; ''that's a dreadful
sight of money! Couldn't you take no less ~
NO." says he-"that's what they cost me to
the Secretary's Office at Halifax" "Well, how
much do you ak for publishing in church, then?"
'Nuthing," says parson. SWELL" says Hugo
'',thats so cheap can't expect you to give no
dhange back. [ think I'll be published. mi How
sSundays!" says Hugo. ''Well, that's long
time, too. But three Sundays only make a fort
Iight after all two for the covers and one for
lie inside like; and six dollars is great sum of
money for a poor man to throw away must
wait" So off he went a-iogging towards his
sheep, when all at once a bright thought came
into his head, and back he went, as hard as his
horse could carry him. "Parson," says he, "Ive
changed my mind. Here's the six dollars: I'll
tie the knot tonight with my tongue, that can't
undo with my teeth" "Why, what in natur is I,
the meaning Of tliis2" says the parson. why"
says Hugo, "Ive been ciphering it out in my
read, audit's cheaper than publishing bands, al
ter all. You see, sir, it's potato digging time !;
il j wal, to be called in church, her father will
have her work for nothing and, as hands are
scarce and wages high, if | marry her tonight,
she car begin to dig our own tomorrow, and
that will pay for the license, and just seven shil-
ings over; for there amt man in all Clements
that can dig and carry as many bushels in day
as Gretchen can. And, besides, fresh wives, like
flesh servants, work like smoke at first, but they
get sarcv and lazy after awhile"
