Population of CALIFORNIA;.

The Sacramento Times is of the opinion that the
entire population of California is about 314 0OO dis
tributed as follows:
" In the northern mines, or that scope of country
lying north of San Francisco and Feather river we
give population of 10000 The Yuba 40, 00O.-
Bear river 1000. The American Fork, $4,000
The Southern Mines or all that portion of the min
ing country of California lying south of the Ameri
can river, $4,000. The San Joaquin valley, 10000.
The city of San Francisco with the population scat
tered in its immediate neighborhood, $4,000 The
Sacramento valley, including all above San Francis
co. 10000 The coast, or that portion of the State
which lies below San Francisco bordering upon the
ocean, 10000; making in all, population of $4,000
which we believe is as nearly correct as the means
at hand will allow us to proximate.
" For the past year we do not believe that over
onethird of our citizens have actually been engaged
in mining After deducting that portion of our pop
ulation which has been engaged in trade transport
ing merchandise, agricultural pursuits and in NOV
ing from place to place, think the estimate which
have made is fully great as facts will bear us
out in giving. We therefore, place the number of
persons who have been engaged in mining the past
year, at one hundred thousand. These men, we will
suppose have worked three hundred days, and have
produced upon an average, three and one-third dol
lars each, per day, which gives in the aggregate,
one hundred millions of dollars

How TO Be MIsERABLE.-Sita at the win

boris excellent mansion, which he has recent
ly bought and paid for, and sigh out:
"Oh,sthat I.were rich man"
Get angry with your neighbor, and think
you have no, got friend in the world
Shed tear OF two; take walk in the bu-
rial ground, continually saying to your
SELF
"When shall be buried here?"
Sign note for friend, and never forget
your kindness, and every hour in the day
whisper to yourself,-
Il wonder if he will pay the note?s
Think every body means to cheat you.
Closely examine every bill you take,
doub, its being genuine till you put the ow.
ner TO a great deal of trouble.
Believe every dime passed to you is but a
sixpence crossed, and express your eoubts
about getting rid of it if you take it.
Never accommodate, if you can possibly
help it.
Never visit the sick and afflicted, and
never give farthing to the poor.
Grind the faces and hearts Of the pool
and unfortunate.

Sympathy.

The following which we have never seen be-
fore, is worth repeating. tits, perhaps, the best
definition of the sentiment which is its theme
that has ever been giYen.-Eds. N. Y. Express
There's language that's mute, there's silence
can speak,
There's something that cannot be told;
There are words that can only be read on the
cheek,
And thoughts but the eyes can unfold.
There's look SO expressive, so timid, so kind,
So conscious, SO quick to impart,
Though dumb, in an instant it speaks out the
mind, --s
And strikes in an instant the heart
This eloquent silence, this converse of soul,
In vain we attemptt to suppress;
More prompt it appears from the wish to con-
i. troll
More apt the fond truth to express.
And oh! the delights in the features that shine,
The raptures in bosoms that melt,
Who, blessed with each other, this converse di-
vine,
Is mutually spoken and felt

we take from al exchange:- Two ger.

aud the other German, having rendered
Maxin,ilian H. many seyices, they each,
for recompense, demanded bis natural
daughter, Helena Schasequin in marriage.
The prince, who entertained equal respect
for them both, could not give either the pre-
ference, and after much delay be told them
that from the claims they both had to his at
ten,ion and regard he could not give his as
sent for either to marry his daughter. and
they must decide it by their own prowess and
add ress; but as he did net wish TO risk the
loss of either, or Of both by suffering themto
6eht with offensive weapons, be had order
ed large bag to be brought, and he who
was successful enough to put his rival into
it should obtain his daughter. This strange
combat between the two gentlemen was in
the presence Of tho whole Imperial Court.
and lasted half an honr. At length the
Spaniard yielded to the German, Andre
Ethard, Baron Of Tethard. who, when he
had got him in the bag, took him on bis back
and placed him at the Emperor's feet, and
on the following day marrisd the beautiful

AN ANEcDoTE.-A correspondent OF the
New York Spirit of the Times relates the
following:
distinguished member of the legisla.
ture was addressing temperance society,
and he got rather prosy but showed no dis
position to ''let up,'' though the audience
waxed thinner. Finally the presiding off.
Ger got excited, and repairing to a friend Of
the speakers, inquired how much longer
he might reasonably be expected TO speak?
Whereupon the friend answered she didn't
exactly know--when he got on that branch
of the subject, he generally spoke couple
oil hours"
.Tha,'ll never do; I've got to make a
few remarks myself" said the President,
show shall stave him off Z"
swell don't known the first place
should pinch his left leg, and then if he
shouldn't stop I'D stick pin in it.''
The President returned to his seat, and
his head was invisible for moment. Soon
afterwards he returned to the ''brother"
who had prescribed the spin style of treat
ment," and said
"l pinched him and he didn't take the
least notice at all; lstuck a pin into bis leg,
and he didn't seem TO care: | crooked it IN
and he kept on spou.ing as hard as ever!"
"Very likely" said the wag, 3hat leg as
cork!"
