Among the members of the Maine
Legislature, is a stout. fat, athletic s'trot-
ter" by the name Of Joe Socbasin, who
represents the interests Of the Penobscot
tribe of Indians correspondent of
the New York Herald says that some
days since Joe made his stalk" and af.
ter having finished what he had to say
pertaining more Immediately TO the in
terest of his constituents, he exculpated
the Governor from all responsibility in
signing the liquor bill in the following
unique manner:
"lndian no blame Governor Hubbard
for signing liquor law. cause Governor
no sober when he do it. De Council
call on governor same day and de gov
ernor drink wild EN-. Den de President
of the Senate calls, and governor drink
wild him. Very soon de Speaker of do
House, Mr.. Sewall call, and de COVER
nor get drunk. and den he sign de bill.
So Indian no blame de governor for
signing him"
This story was doubtless put into the
mouth Of Joe by the enemies of the
Maine liquor law. Itderives its point
from the fact that the governor is not a
very strict temperance man, but IFS
truth is more than doubtful.

The QUEEN OF SPAIN.-An Amer
ican lady writing from Madrid Of
MANY anecdotes and incidents in
which the young Queen of Spain
was a party, alludes in the following
manner TO the late attempted assas-
sination:
"Never was Indignation more gen.
orally felt among all classes of per,
sons. and all shades of poIiti S, than
on this occasion. ! never heard so
much sympathy expressed, and in
deed the amiable character OF this
lovely and charming woman, is fully
deserving OF it all. Having seen and
known her so lately, the event i'm.
pressed me more than perhaps it
otherwise would have done. have
met her walking on the Prada in
crowds OF people, with as much ia
miliarity and simplicity Of demeanor
as any Of our ladies walking in
Broadway. Her kind and good quail
tiles are universally appreciated in
Madrid, and,I thihk,ar mol unknown
in the United States. She must be
endeared to many mothers and wives
there for her generous behavior TO
the misguided youths who were la
ken prisoners in Cuba. part of her
dominions which, enticed by decei~
vers, they had practically invaded =
She is said TO have wept over letters
addressed to her by mothers in Amer
ica, praying for clemency for their
sons, and she pardoned several on
such letters received before she par
doned them ali. Even when her
lie was in danger, and it was not
known but that the wound might
prove fatal, she entreated tha: the
assassin might not be put to death
on her account"

GOLD MINES IN VIRGINIA.-We be-
lieve Com. Stockton was one of the first
who introduced into Virginia effective
machinery for reducing. on a large
scale. the Quartz Rock, and demonstra-
ting that profitable business could be
done in this branch OF mining.
Some three years since he purchased
the tract of land in Fluvanna county,
about sixty miles distant from this city,
upon which was rich and extensive
Gold vein, where he erected large
mill and other works. The glowing
accounts received from California. of
the richness and extent Of the duriferOus

Stockton tn suspend for time. ais mi

his experienced workmen, with complete
outfit, machinerr, &C., to test the newly
discovered Gold veins in California.
We are informed by a friend. who
conversed short time since with one of
the Company, that they were not sue
cessful, the results not meeting expec-
tations; their operations were discontin-
ued in that country, the workmen re
turned TO this Slate. and Com. Stockton
has resumed his mining operations in
Fiuvanna county, on larger scale than
heretofore. having introduced improved
machinery, and had good prospects oi
doing profitable and permanent busi-
ness.
There are several other Gold Mines
