JEWISH OPPRESSION REvrvED.-By the late
arrival from Europe, we learn the fact that the
Austrian government has signalized itself by
backward step i'll civilization. 1t has restored
disabilities which the barbarism of the middle
ages imposed upon the Jews, and which
only removed by the revolution of 1s4S. The
Austrian government seems determined that no
benefit shall accrue to any class of its subjects
from that revolution. Hereafter, the Jews ia
Austria are forbidden to hold real estate in ther
own name, but all property of that description,
to which they lay claim, must be registered in

GOLD ON THE MoHAvE.-Capt. Aubrey, in his
letter to the San Joaquin Republican, says thathe
found gold in considerable quantities on the
Mohave--even on the surface of the sand. He
says: ''On one occasion, while at rest for few
minutes in deep gully, about a mile from the
crossing the west side of the river Mex-
can mule-boy discovered something glittering
upon the ground which, on examination, proved
to be gold. We at once commenced washing
sand in our tin cups, and in every one discov.
cred particles of gold. This gold was discovered
in a dark coarse sand, and black heavy sand
was found i'll the cup after washing away the
gravel. The sandy soil was compact that we
could not dig it up with our fingers. We
washed sand on the east side of the river aud
found gold in greater abundance than any
previous occasion. l myself washed tin cup
full of yellow clay, and found about 25 cents
worth of the pure metal. A Mexican boy,-on
washing frying painful of coarse sapd, found
from 40 to so particles of pure gold, some of
which were as large the head Of pin. We
took the clay and sand from the top of the
ground without digging. The appearance Of
the country also indicates gold"

tY7 Dumas, the great French novelist, has un-
dertaken to write play for the Parision stage
in four days. A correspondent of the New
York Times, referring to this subject says:
A curious feature of the affair was, that du-
ring the four days that Dumas was engaged
upon his comedy, the publication of his memoirs
in the PresSc not suspended. Now, as each
femilleton is written only two days before it ap-
pears-spendng the intermediate day in going
to Paris from Brussels-it is clear that Dumas
devoted certain portion of his four days to his
own memoirs. The extraordinary instances OF
sustained application that biography has furn-
ished us, are all OF them pale, in comparison
with the case of Dumas. While awake he does
nothing but work; and it is said, know not
with how much truth, that he sleeps but four OF
five days at the utmost. His memory never
fails him, and he has read the history of all
the epochs in which he has any interest," at least
once, his head is the best encyclopedia he can
consult. He is splendid classical scholar, but
no linguist. He knows nothing of English,
| though he once translated Hamlet. He pays
little attention to style, never re-writes a SEN
tence. rarely erases anything once written, and
| renders generally the manner subservient to the
matter. AS you listen to his plays, you are so
wrapped up in the chain of events, so captivated
by the skill of the construction the steady march
of the pred ominant incident, and the unhaggiug
interest of the dia ogue, that you fail to notice
that the language is level and that the writer
| seems utterly to spurn using any of the blan-
disIments of style, rounded periods graceful
| figures of speech, or an elevated tone. He
dashes at once on to the object in view, and new
er stops for choice of terms. This accounts,
in some measure. for the extreme rapidlty with
which he writes.

YANKEES IN CENTRAL AMERIcA.-From the
following portion of letter, written from Costa
Rica, Central America, to a New York paper, it
would seem that T" Los Yankees" are not very
earnestly desired in that quarter. This letter
would seem to confirm the statement made by
another writer, that the jealous efforts made by
Lieut.. MaLrey, to direct " Young America to-
ward the rich and fertile valley of the Amazon,
are not fully appreciated by the government
One of the most important symptoms of the
political condition of Central America, is the
immense fear of the coming of the a. Yankees"
which Is shared by the governors well the
governed, and which pervades all strata of
ciety, both in this country and in the Republics
from Guatamela to Peru. In vain it is said to
the poor people, as IA consolation that the Uni
ted States have yet such an immense territory,
that the western portion of the Union is still but
little populated that the annexation of Cuba has
not yet taken place; and the colossal domain OF
the plateau of Mexico liesyet, wild barrier be-
tween the Anglo-Amertcan and Centro-Amerca.
"Should this fate ever be accomplished. it WILL
at any rate, not come so soon you think. The
annexation to the powerful Federal Republic of
the North will, besides. by no means ruin you,
you most foolishly suppose but on the con-
trary, 1t Will revive your relaxed race, supply
with new vigor your withered political life, and
teach you the reasonable use of liberty together
with the secret how, by the means of labor and
association, to grow rich, pow erful, and happy"
All these and similar words of consolation, with
which the friends of the United States attempt
to persuade the Spaniards, are spoken in vain.
The anipathy of race, the fear that in contact
with the strong Anglo-American element, they
would be sutfocaied rather than made young
again, have taken too deep root in the character
Of the inhabitants of New Spain. "Alas p COM
planned to US recently Senorita of San Jose, q l
have no objection whatever to the domination OF
the long-legged Yankees what torments me the
most, is only my little Emanuel Ia boy of five
years land him they will certainly make Pro-
testant! And how can prevent it?''

SAN ANTONIO, TExAs.-We notice the safe
return of A. Collins, ESQ, from visit to his
son-in-law, and from tour Of observation TO
Western Texas The section of country visited
by Mr.. c. during his absence, was that lying
contiguous to San Antonio, rendered famous IN
Texan history from containing the fortress OF
the Alamo, where Crockett Bowie, and others
equally brave, sacrificed themselves for Texan
Independence Mr.. Collins expresses himself in
terms of high commentator of the general ap-
pearance salubrity Of climate, and soil of that
portion of the State. The only drawback or
objection that can be urged against it, is its I'M
protected state against the aggressions OF the
savage Indians, who occasionally steal the stock,
destroy the Improvements, and take the lives OF
the unprotected inhabitants. In all other res
poets he represents it as being the Italy OF
America; and, in due course of time, cannot
but become one of the most beautiful, as well
as populous and desirable sections of our wide
spread Union

PAPER MADE FROM BAGAssE-A travelling
correspondent Of the New Orleans Crescent, who
signs "West Baton Rouge" in letter, dated
Cleveland, May 10Th, says:
s'While in the cars yesterday, Yankee in
formed me that he had invented a machine to
make paper out of our bagasse. He tells me
that it makes excellent paper, and that he is now
sending out orders to buy up bagasse to use in
his mills in Philadelphia. You will therefore
please say to your sugar-making traders that
the time may come when their bagasse will be
as valuable as their molasses, Gf it don't, God
help itD and that the paper makers will be
down amongst us next Fall. I am informed
that the paper mills can't get rags enough; they
are not to be had, and cotton won't make paper,
every effort thus far having failed, and they have
entirely abandoned the idea

Our MAYoR.-It gives unfeigned pleasure

Mayor Terrebonne continues to discharge the

Never have our streets, bridges, and pavements

to his honor the propriety of preventing persons
from making the vacant lot on ST. Philip be-
tween Short aud Rose streets, the depository
for offal, and thereby rendering its vicinity any
thing but agreeable to the olfactory organs of
those who have occasion to pass that particular
locality.
Would it not be good idea to compel those
who own property in thckly inhabited parts of
our town, to enclose the same? A measure of
this kind, it seems to us, would serve to correct
the abuse Of which we now complain. We hope
that the municipal authorities will duly consider
this grievance, and "make note ont"

COFFEE LEAvEs.-A Brazil paper which has
come to hand since last meeting of the Amer
lean Institute Farmers Club" of New York,
says the N. Y. Tribune, contains further evidence
in regard to the substitution of the leaves for
the berry of the coffee tree. This paper states
that Brazil exports 250,O00000 lbs. of coffee
per annum, and that the leaves are really more
valuable than the fruit, though not yet used as
an article of export. The infusion of coffee
leaves is more nutritious and more invigoratng
than tea, and is preferred by all who have tried
it to an infusion of the coffee berry. The leaves
are treated in the same way as the berries, by
roasting.
