SUSQUEHANNA CANAL LOTTERY,

Calaveras chronicle., 1851-11-08
THE DECEIVER DECEIVED.

The last Carnival was celebrated i'm
Paris with its usual gaieties. From the
numerous anecdotes relating to it, we
select the following:
Madame x belongs to a high
financial family-she is young, hand
some. wealthy and nnitnh to a husband
whose appreciation Of those rare advan-
tages she never doubted, until one NOR
ming during the Carnival, she happened
on entering her carriage, to pick up a
bracelet which was not hers, which she
had not dropped there, and she knew
did not belong to any of her acquain-
tances.
Her husband had gone in the same
carriage to the ball given by the corps
dramatique on the preceding evening.
The bracelet was simply composed
Of triple chain Of gold, fastened Ivy an
oval medallion; but the form and thick
ness of the medallion gave rise to the
suspicion that it contained some mVstc-
rious painting. The spring was well
concealed; so well, that the Wit and in
genuity Of very jealous woman only
could have discovered it.
Madame Y - opened the medallion
expecting to find in it her husbands
miniature, but found that of Mr.. Arthur
B., a gentleman who is also fond of
frequenting the opera balls, but was
still bachelor.
"Bonp' said she, ssthe deceiver is
deceived. | already have half my re-
venge.
Two davs after. Madame x went
to ball given at the Hotel de Vile
She wore the bracelet which, as has
already been remarked, was too simple
to attract the slightest attention.
One of her friends who was, perhaps,
in the secret, said to her with an air of
mystery, and loud enough to be heard
by M. x, who was in company
with the ladies:
"Were not afraid of being indis-
Greet, ma chere ami, should say | was
diving to see the miniature in the clasp
of your bracelet"
"You are foolish, ma chere; you
know very we'll cannot show it to you. y
The husband was mystified. He be-
came restless, inquisitiye, and glancing
at the bracelet said, in a low voice to
/ his wife:
"I have never before seen you wear
that hracelet-what is the medalion?''
Nothing," answered Madame K.
They were in the ball room, where
it was impossible to insist on an explain
alton, but the moment they returned to
their home, NJ. x said to his wife
"That bracelet of yours contains
some secret; l insist on examining it.''
"Examine IT." said the wife, handing
him the bracelet.
The husband tried in vain to open
the medallion; at length, losing all pa
thence, he broke the spring the medal
ion flew open.
"Arthur de B p cried he in a fury
:" How comes his miniature il this brace
let, Madame?"
81 wished TO put precisely the same
question to you," quietly replied Mad
ame x.
8" To me! What does this nonsense
ncan?"

SCENES AT NIGHT.
While some writer's rummage creation for
And seek amongst Persians, Laplanders and
Strange items to fill the spare hooks in their
sheet,
Strange, can find news in whatever meet.
S'ince Spain furnished Lopez his iron cravat,
Foreign news hunters scarce can tell what
to be at;
And soldiers and printers scarce know what
to do
If the Frenchmen abandon their claims on
Oahu:
But can sit down, where excitement ne'er
fails,
And describe twenty Cinnamon combing
their tails
Then thrusting them into their nondescript
hats
For fear that the people should think they
were rats;
Or may describe but the scenes of night,
The music, the monte-the frantic delight
We feel, when our labor diurnal is done,
And our miners and sharpers assemble for
fun
When 1 fly for respite from sorrow and

And here or hereafter, ne'er shall forget,
Her graceful congees while she deals lans-
The well-bred -decorum with which she
begins,
The blush when she loses, the smile when
she wins
The Joy she exhibits in catching flat
When she picks up his dollar, and cries,
sabe that!
Fer musical accents, 50 full Of control
When the bets are all staked, and she cries,
De jack for de better-de king for de bank )"
And the bright silver dellars, like soldiers
in rank,
Or slaves at an auction appearing rerplexed,
Not knowing the master they've got to have
next.
The harmony, too, that our Handles produce
Which reminds every hearer Of bedlam

Where Apollo gives concerts 10 all sorts Of
The scraping Of catgut, tho rattling Of bones,
The sounds Of discordancy echoed from

All joining in chorus, "come, pongala

All, woman credit the story of old
Which tells of Danae and Jupiter's gold:
Or if 1 e'er doubted it, here can see
That gold is the only true passport to thee.

And I'm rather unwilling to part from you

Nothing more serious, assure you

The husband was stupifed; his anger
now gave place to the most embarras-
sing confusion.

supposed," resumed Madame x

What could Nj. x do? What
couIl he say? Touched by that gentle
railery, sofened hy~thnE-z gcfsaness and
generosity, taught by the lesson he had
just received, and disgusted by the per-
fidy which the medallion revealed to
him, he humbIy and tenderly asked his
wife's pardon, promising her that he
would never again go to these balls
where the bellies are conducted home
by their beaux, and lose their bracelets
so carelessly.
TRIAL OF SPEED.-We have already
noticed the success of the clipper
" America" in her trial of speed, and
her complete success III passing every
craft which was put in competition
with er. The New York Express pub
fishes the following letter from one of
the crew of the America:-
On board the NY. Yacht America, }
CowEs, August Is, 1851.
Though we have heen here among
the English yachts some days now, we
can't find one to sail with us, all being
afraid Of the America. We have
scared them to death. They won't let
US sail in their regatta for cups, because
there is more than one owner. Think
of that. Commodore Stevens has
stumped the three kingdoms to sail
with Us. for the sum of ten or twenty
thousand pounds, but they won't come
to tea. You would have laughed to see
us yesterday. There was a sailing
match for the Queens cup, G1OO, and
they would not let lis in, but we got
under way on our own hook, after they
were four or five miles of, and in one
hour we passed the whole lot of them
like a steamboat. and then heat one Of
their steamboats, INTO the bargain. l
should think there were sixty or more
sail in the match, and we played around
them like a cooper round barrel.
They were taken all aback, and swore
we had steam works on board TO make
the America go so. We were crowded
with dukes and lords, with all sorts of
odd names and titles. We had the
Queen down to see us into the bargain,
and are full of distinguished visitors
from morning till night, but they wont
put the brass down to sail with US
Their cutter Alarm is the fastest one
they have got, but the owner, Lord
Somebody, like a nice man, gives in,
and says they haven't vessel in Eng
land that can begin to iouch us. SO
far, therefore, we can't raise a fight
with them, no how you can fix it
These fellows put one in mind Of a
dog that wants to fight and dare not; SO
they bark. but bark small.
Yours, G. P. H.
