was not as is supposed by the Herald, to give the
proprletors OF the Adrocdte equal share in the
profits OF a certain class of fadverisements secured
by this to those papers. No such conclusion can
be drawn legitimatcly from the published boads
1t is proper here to state that no such bond as
the one published in the Herald is, or ever has
becn since the passage of the Legal Notice Act, in
the possession Of John Conness s Co. The pub
shed bond bears date April 30th, prior to the pas
sage of that act. The only bond in the possession
OF John COnness Co. bears date May Sd. This
is not the only discrepancy between the published
bond and the one in my possession They differ in
several other material points. From this it will be
seen that the entire argument Of the Herald based
upon the date and specifications Of tho bond, fall
to the ground

through the San Francisco Herald, or any other

MOVED BY STEAM.-Thc picture given of the
restless progressive, goahcad spirit of our country
men, is well described by the following article,
which was first published some years ago Since
that time the Americans have not become more
quiet or manifest less repugnancc to aught which
snacks of ''old fogyism:''
''Our manners, and habits, and customs, have
been ofton described but venture to say that no
description will approach the truth unless it begins
and ends with the declaration that the Americans
are the hardest working people on the face of the
globe Other nations labor in order to live--the
Americans seem to live only to labor. TO exist and
not to toll is incomprehensible They cheerfully
acquiesce in the doom Of Providence and instead of
repining at being condemned to labor, they would
deem the heaviest curse to repose Every man
seems born with steam engine within him, driving
him into ncessant and restless activity of body and
mind. All the amusements which require time,
the luxurious indulgences which consume 1.-THE
absurdity of quct-the unnatural condition OF
rest-all these he scorns rs unworthy of men whose
destiny it is to create, and to build up and found
works and cities, and states Here is whole ma
ton, with few rich men, and no idle men--every
head and every hand busy--with thousand pro-
ects and only one holiday-the 4th Of July-work-
ing from morning till night, with the most intense
industry Yet it is not mere sordid spirit which
mpcls them for what they earn thus hardly, they
spend with recklcssness quite characteristic.
They work not to accumulate, but because they
must work or die Of apathy. Such temperament
is inscparablc from many follies and leads to many
vices--but after all it is the true instnc to per-
form great things and whenever it becomes concen-
trated on some favorite object, woe to the rival
whose path it crosses"

BRIGHT Hours AND GLooMY.-Ah this beautiful
world Indeed know not what to think of it,
Sometimes it is all grandness and sunshine, and
heaven itself lies not far off; and then it suddenly
changes, and is dark and sorrowfu and the clouds
shut out the day. In the lives of the saddest of us
there are bright days like this, when feel if
we could take the great world in our arms. Then
come the gloomy hours, when the fire will neither
burn in our hearts in hearths, and all with
cut and within is dismal cold and dark. Believe
me, every heart has its secret SORROWS which the
world knows not and oftentimes we call man
cold when he is only sad-Longtalow.

BIRDS OF PASSAGE.
The bird of passage, through the day
Sweeps on his home to find;
There is no track before his eye,
He leaveth none behind.
He leaves no track, except it be
A passing shadow dim;
That like n silent memory
One moment follows him.
And men are birds of passage, too,
That fly from shore to shore;
An hour. day, and then we view
Their shadow nevermore.
Anon, with dark or sunny wing,
Not knowing these havo passed,
The birds that future seasons bring
Sweep onward like the last.
