"Grandfather," said saucy little imp, the

The old gentleman who had been soldier in
the war of the Revolution, and was much under
ordinary size took the child between his knees,
and pattng him on the head with all the fond
ness of a second child of life, said: a
"My dear boy, am ninety-ive years DID,"
and then commenced to amuse the lad with
some of the incidents in the story of his life
at the conclusion Of which he addressed the
youngster: .a e4a
"But my son, why did you ask such a ques-
tion?" When the little rascal, with all the i'm
portance Of a Napoleon, strutted off, and hitch
ing up the first pair of pantaloons he ever wore,
after approved sailor fashion replied:
"Well, it appears to me you are darned small
of your age"

RELIGION IN CALIFoRNIA.-A letter from San
Francisco, published in the Presbyterian, says:
/ "An interesting commencement has been
made in the supply of California with the Cos
pei. The beginning was small. 1t is now four
and half years since the first Protestant cler-
gyman came to this country, who has made it
permanent place of residence and ministerial la
Dor. Six months afterwards, five others joined
him in his work. Gradually the number Of min
listers and organized churches has increased. AT
the present time the whole number Of evangeli-
cal clergymen is one hundred and eIeren. These
are distributed among the different branches of
the Church in the following proportions: Of
the Methodist Church North, So; Methodist
Church south, 26; Congreg ationalists, 9; Bap-
lists, s. New School Presbyterans, 8; Associ-
ate Presbyterian, l; Dutch Reformed, |; Ger
man Reformed, /; Episcopalians, 6; Cumber-
land Presbyterians, 4; Old School Presbyteri-
ans, 9.
Some Of the above ministers are engaged
in teachings a few in agencies for benevolent
societies; all are more or less and the greater
part exclusively, employed in preaching. The
number Of distinct Church organizations does
not differ much from the aggregate number of
ministers; probably they are somewhat fewer.
Still, the country at large is very inadequately
supplied with spiritual and educational instru.

RECEIPT FOR GOOD HEALTH AND BEAUTY
We can safely recommend the following direc-
tions for attaining habitual good health and
good looks to all our friends ii5tii 2
For clear complexon-Rise early, use plen-
ty of fresh woter, observe the strictest modera-
tion in diet, and take plenty of exercise in the
open air. The same plan will be found benef-
cia in other respects. Those who regularly
pursue it, generally possess coral lips, white
teeth, and pure breath 9i "'
To give brilancy to the eyes-Shut them
early at night and open them early in the morn
ing; let the mind beconstantly intent on the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge, or on the exercise of be-
nevolent feelings. This will scarcely ever fail
to impart to the eyes an intelligent and amiabe
expression. eG1
To preserve the forehead from wrnkles-Cul-
tivate contentment, calmness and benignity Of
spirit, and never, on any account, indulge mnr-
muring and resentful, or malevolent feeling.
BY constant adherence to the above simple
rules, many females have preserved their attrac-
tions even to the age of fourscore years and up
wards.

THE FIRE AT THE BONDED WAREHoUsE.-The
fire at the bonded warehouse in Broadway, is
deserving of serious attention. If it had not
been checked in time, property to the amount
of nearly million of dollars would have been
consumed, and the people would have had to
pay the damage. The fire must have been pro-
duced either by accident or design. If by acct
dent. then it is an evidence of great careless
ness and censure of the severest kind is due in
some quarter or another If by design. the act
was not only high crime, but was probably
intended TO cover up other crimes. In either
case. justice and the public interests demand
thorough and searching investigation of the
whole matter We have heard that the Collec-
tor of the Port and the Chief of Police have
been at the warehouse since the fire. with
view to trace its origin : and it has been stated
that there is proof Of its breaking out in two or
three places together. which to say the least.
looks suspicious. The Waterman was in the
building at the time and how it could have oc.
CURED by accident, if he was doing his duty
it is difficult to imagine. If there be any mys.
terry in the matter, let it be penetrated. and let
the truth come out no matter whom it may
affect.

wet STREETS, and accession Of wretchcd inmates to
tenements already cvercrowded, are the predsposing
causes Thus, infanznatWy diseases Of the great

adults, of whom thirtyone died of inflammation Of
the lungs alone. Sixty-four grown up persons died
of consumption and thirtysix Of the different evers.

Judge Morris yesterday granted a stay Of pro
ceedings IN the Tmmany Hall riot case on a bill
of exceptions presented by Mr.. Cochrane, their
counsel The action of the Court of Sessions, Just
about to pass sentence was consequently suspended.
Patrick Cregan, one of the mock auctioneers con-
victed last week, was sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment but the Court minated strongly that in
that particular case, it was probable the executive
would interpose the verdict being against evidence.
The Grand Jury were discharged, and the Court
rose for the term, having done an unprecedented
amount Of business.
The case OF Catherine Crowley, accused of infanti-
eide at No. Batavia street, was fully investigated
yesterday by Coroner O'Donnell, and the cir. ac-
quilted. The jury did not undertake to say posi-
lively that she the mother of the child found in
the trunk in her room.
Three young lads, named Van Nortck, Smith, and
Mclean were accidentally drowned yesterday when
skating upon a mill pond near the town of Railway
New jersey.
The argument in the case of the Broadway Rail
road was renewed yesterday, and Mr. O'Cenor occu-
pied the whole day. The case was then postponed
till next Saeunaay.
