under a species Of insanity. 1t was thought
by her husband that travelling and a
change of air and scenery would do her
good, but unfortunately such was not the
case. Immediately upon her arrival, she
was very DESTROYS to see the Falls; and

William Tell t.Telled.

A Rhine paper relates the following cir
cumstance as having occurred at the town
of Speyer. 1t appears that a weaver,
known as the best rifle shot of the district,
bethought him of affording a browning
proof of his unerring aim. He therefore
took his rifle in one hand, and his son,
twelve years old. in the other, and then,
posting his boy at the end of an alley in
his garden, placed an o~rdinary-sizcd pota.
to on his head, raised his weapon, aimed,
fired, and cut the potato in two, leaving
the child neither scathed nor frightened, so
confident was the latter in his father being
possessed of a charmed ball. Having
talked of this fact TO his n~eighbors, and
they doubling the truth of the assertion,
The weaver offered 10 renew the exploit
forthwith in their presence, although even.
ing had set in. Thereupon the bysiand-
ers, in lieu of dissuading the mar
from the attempt, played the part Of
Gesler, and tainted him 10 the proof
The son was. therefore, recalled, and
placed as before, with a potato on his cap.
at fifteen yards, while, it being dark, he
steadily held a lantern in his raised hand.
The rifle was again loaded, raised, care
fully aimed--fred; and again the unerring
bullet cleft he lower part of the potato,
slightly grazing the cap. The %neighbors,
who probably never read the heartrend-
inc words which the iIlus,rious Schiller
placed in the mouth of Tell when he was
compelled to strike the apple from his
dear child's head, applauded loudly. Not
so with the magistrates. They ordered
Speyer F~nischulz before them, and after
declaring that he mast be mad. or a heart
less brute, ordered him 10 be fined and
imprisoned for five days, with the assu-
rance that if 10 renewed his p%erilous es
saws, he should be shut up in a mad house
if he escaped the scalTold for murder.

The SUSPICIOUS MAN.-This kind Of
individual is always smelling a continuous

Of anything in which he does not smell a
rat The most harmless action OF his
neighbOr, under his suspicious and inqnls'
| itorial disposition. is made a matter Of SO.
rions investigation, because he knows
there is something in the wind. for he saw
his npiqhbor, Mr.. b., speaking confdeu-
TALLY to Mrs. S., that very morning in the
market. lie puts that and that together,
and connects this whispering in the morn
lag with something ho heard in the bar

satisfied that his neighbor B. Is either GO

giving his creditors due notice.
The most terrible part Of such a mans
character is, that he places such iait upon
The corollaries he draws from his false
premises, that he does not hesitate 10 give
wing To the bare suspicious oil his mind,
and frequently is the means OF bringing
about a disaster which never would have

Extract of a Letter from California.
MvRpHrs, July 2slh, 1859.

MuRPHYs, July 2slh, 1853.
FRIEND GLEssNER:
Dear sir-COntrary 10
my intentions when ] wrote you one year
ago, | find myself still a sojourner in The
land of gold, gamblers and %grislies, Of flow
ers, fleaS and filthy lucre, with the pros
pect Of tarrying yet unul The return of an
other spring.
The last, more than any preceding
year, has tended to develop aud apply her
resources--to permanently settle and ill.,.
prove her lands--to reform and socialize
her society-and give tina, permanency and
stability 10 her character and institutions
which in the future is o control her fnar-
clal condition, as well as 10 sustain her in
her present political and national position.
California al present is in The condition of
an overgrown boy, who wants time 10
harden his boncs-to strengthen and deyel-
op his muscles, and give frmness to his
joints, ere lie is prepared to enter upon his
manhood.
The yield of gold this year will exceed
that of any other since the discovery. The
introduction of water into the mines gen.
orally by organized wafer companies and
a growing disposition on the part OF miners
to be stsied with lower wages has con
duced more TO this result than anything
else. New discoveries are continually
making, and Improvements are being
brought into use for extracting the gold
from the auriferous earth. In this way
one hand can do as much as twelve men
did in the opening of the mines; and con-
sequently, can make good wages in wash
ing over ground which has already been
worked over four or five times by the old
process.
Respectfully yours
PAUL OLIVER.
