Three O'Clock on Saturday.

We have often been puzzled to know why it is,
that people in other nations earn their subsist
with half their minds, whilst we seem obliged
to throw our whole souls into the business. We
should also like to understand, why, in these DAYS,
when steam does most of the hardest work, we
should have to toll as many hours every day our
fOretathers did, whose acquaintance with was
derived chiefly from slumberous observation of the
tea kettle. For century, ingenious men have been
contriving labor saving machines but whose labor
has been saved thereby? Ii used to take the farmer

nearly all the seed within reach supposed to be IN

the parties could carry desired 10 carry, and OF
the price of seed began to fall and from eight

RELATIONS BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE UNITED
SrATEs.-The Washington Union considers the arm
ed occupation of the Mesla territory violation of
the rights of the United States and of every princi
pie of international law. Yet it contends that it by
no means follows that there must be Mexico
may again pass the limits of all reasonable forbear
ance but towards her the policy of the u States is
the policy of forbearance and of peace. The armed
occupation of the territory it is hoped will be aban
doned by Mexico after due reflection. The Union,
in conclusion, adds:
"While, therefore, we do not look for war with
Mexico it is yet proper to say that we by means
regard the seizure of the Mesa valley by Trias as
admissible proceeding. Wedo not perceive how
either the people or the government of the United
States submit to it permanent disposition
of that territory 1t is true that the question has
been complicated by the errors of the late admins
tration. But be this as it may be, we entertain no
doubt from all that has been announced of the for
eign policy of this administration that all suitable
measures have already been taken, and will in flu,
ture be taken, to place the whole question, both be-
fore the Mexican authorities and the people of the
United States, in its proper position"
