MARRIAGE OF THE MOSQUITO KING
SISTER.

A correspondent of the New Orlear
Picayune gives the following amusing
but evidently exaggerated account
the late marriage Of the Princess Ad
elaide, sister of the famous Mesquite,
King:
GRErTewN, Sept. IL, 1851.
The day dawned with its usual splen-
dor; myriads of feathered songsters
filled the air with their sweet melodies;
the placid waters in the Bay Of Blues
fields were undisturbed by single
ripple, and the little niggers set on.
their launches, grinning with pleasure
and waiting for sunrise. All nature,
in fine, was in sweet repose. Sud-
denly the spell was broken. The,
sound Of horn was heard from thel
distant hills, startling the quiet citizens
Of Bluefelds from their slumbers. Tic.
signal was answered from every I'LL
and rivulet in the vicinity. These
sounds were followed by the barking
of dogs, screeching Of parrots, and
bleating of goats, and all the discordant
sounds known on earth seemed min
gled together in sweet confusion. The
martial music approached nearer and
nearer, and increased in volume until
fancied that Pharaoh had risen from
his slumbers, and was about to enter
Bluefelds in his flaming chariot, TO be
present at the royal marriage. In u
few moments, three hundred half ma
ked indians made their appearance at
the main entrance that leads to the pal
ace. The Princess had arisen from
her couch Of tigers skins,and was STAN
ding at the main gate of the palace,
barcfooted and devouring raw plan
tain.
| The King soon made his appear
ance, and addressed his subjects in the
following eloquent language: "Nle big
King. My sister 60 marry nigger.
Me no like it. Niger disgrace In
dian. Cussed shame--I drown my
self" His majesty could say no more.
Overcome with grief, he entered his
palace, threw himself upon pile of
dried hides, and there relieved the an
guish of his soul by giving vent to a
flood Of tears. "Woh,p' said his Ma
jesty, 'ef me, big King, feel so much
bad cos my sister marry nigger, how
common Mexican feel when him dog
die?"
The royal palace was tastefully de-
coratcd with highly scented hides
Every preparation being made for the
celebration, the Princess entered the
Palace Hall unattended, except by her
pet goat. Her beautiful black hair,
/ CREASED with possum fat, hung in pro-
fusion over her shoulders, and contras-
ted finely with her splendid dress,
which was made of coffee sack. On
the middle finger OF her right hand, she
wore rich and costly TN ring, made
from a sardine box. The guests were
all assembled, but the happy lover had

FARMING. - Notwithstanding the
disappointment which many Of our far
mers met with, last year, in not having
had sufficient rain, they are already
making preparations to SOW barley
If it should rain a couple of weeks, and
prospects should seem favorabls for a
continuance of showers, many will SOW
barley and put up fences afterwards.
It may be sown as soon after the first
heavy rain as the ground can possibly
be put in order. Many, we are in
formed, we're too late in sowing barley
last year. All that our farmers and
miners need, to enable them to gather
golden harvests, i- plenty Of rain.--

MINING IN AND ABOUT COLUMBIA.

Columbia Flat is probably the most
extensive placer in California, and
there is probably no better field for the
enterprise and industry Of our fast in
creasing American population. We
are reliably informed, by miners, that
there is no part of the country exten>
ding from Shaw's Flat to the hills
northeast of Columbia, where gold
cannot be obtained in the soil. It is
scattered thro' the earth every where,
from the surface to the ledge. This
flat country is intersected by numerous
gulches, which have been partially
worked, and which are now all laid out
in claims by parties who intend TO wash
the dirt in toms during the winter, or
when water shall be conveyed to them
by means of the Tuolumne water COM
pany's race. Many of these gulches
have been exceedingly rich, having
been FIRST worked in the spring of $50,
and therefore there is certainty that
the present miners, when they may
have the necessary facilities for wash
ing, will realize first rate wages for
their labor. This gold bearing fiat it
self is 80 extensive that if the number
were increased a hundred fold, they
could not exhaust it of its treasure in
one season. AS general thing, mi
ners are realizing but small wages at
present, but carting dirt The time
expended in hauling to water, and the
cost Of Keeping horse and cart, are 30
great, that dirt will not pay to be work
ed in this way, which, If water was at
hand, would yield an ounce per day to
the man. Sonora Herald.
