An American Bug.

A Saratoga correspondent of the Mobile
Tribune, gives the following account of the
way an American Bug can spread himself.
Thorn, to whom l refer, has made a
lion of himself by indulging in extrava-
gances and eccentricities. He is the man
who eclipsed the emperor of France in the
splendor of his 'turn out" He is said to
have driven four span of horses, richly ca
parisoned, to the most splendid carriage
in Europe. The Emperor, unwilling that
any one should go in better style than
himself, ordered him to appear no more in
the streets of Paris with the aforesaid es-
tablishment. 20
"His party consists of his wife, two
daughters, beaux, attendants, pages, maids,
grooms, &c. | witnessed few days since
the ceremony of their preparation to ride.
Five steeds and carriage, with groom
and drivers, in finest livery to each, were
first presented opposite the U. S. Hotel.
Next came the party with their maids
attendants. A beautiful mahogany bay
horse was first led up, whereupon, grooms
and servants took their position to per-
form the feat Of mounting the fair Miss on
her saddle. She placed her foot in the
white gloved hand of the groom on the
left side, who gracefully placed her in the
saddle, while on the right stood another
ready to catch the jewel, if perchance, it
should drop that way. Then came the
maids to adjust the riding dress and place
her foot in the stirrup. This and similar
ceremonies with her sister being accom-
plished, the beaux and attendants mount
ed, the old folks ascended their carriage
and off they put as if to a funeral. This
ceremony must have taken half hour
long enough-as heard an Alabama girl
remark, for Southern party to have
mounted and taken a respectable ride.-
l forgot to note that after the adjustment
of the young ladies' dresses, reins, &C., the
horses were sugared (fed) from the hands
of the grooms, which, / suppose, was to
sweeten their gaits and spirits for the even
ings performance"

For the Citizen.
On Receiving My Mothers Picture,

BY LEILA.
Time, distance, sorrows, all are now forgot,
Dear Mother, while | gaze on thy loved
face;
In fancy's realm, where cares assail me not,
Once more I'm clasped in thine own fond
embrace.
But, Mother on thy once calm, placid brow,
Are many lines cfheartfelt sorrow traced;
And much | fear thy absent child ere now,
An added line upon thy brow has placed.
And while gaze on those sad, earnest eyes,
A thousand nae mories thro' my soul are
rushing;
OF all the tender love that in them lies,
For her, from whose, e'en now the tears
are gushing.
oh! never, till this heart has ceased to beat,
Can forget our last, sad, parting hour
That glance of agony-upturned to meet
Support on high, from some protecting
power.
Full oft, know, at the calm twilight even,
When round thee gather all our little
band,
Fond hopes are breathed, and kindly mem-
cries given
To one, so lonely, in far-off land.
And now. 1lethinks see teardrop glsten
Within those eyes, that oft have wept for
me-
And can almost see thee bend to listen
For her, perhaps thou never more shalt
see.
But these are thoughts on which | will not
dwell
While Hope, the Syren, sings SO sweet a
strain;
Once more la ream e'er bill, and glade
and dell
Hi see my chldhood's home and thee
again.
Downieville, Nov, 1884.

CURIOUS SCENES IN SHANGHAE-A
CHINESE ARrIsT.-A man seated on the
pavement, holds in his hand white por-
celain tile: about foot square; this he
overspreads with deep blue color, from
a sponge dipped in thin paste Of indigo,
and asks us to name a flower | suggest
the lotus. He extends his fore-fnger, a
most remarkable fore-fnger, crooked,
flexible as an elephants trunk, and as
sharp as if the end had been whitfield off,
gives three or four quick dashes across
the tile, and in ten seconds or less, 10
there is the flower, exquisitely drawn and
shaded, its snowy cup hanging in the
midst of its long, swaying leaves. Three
more strokes, and white bird, with spread
wings, hovers over it; two more, and a
dog standing beside it. The rapidity and
precision of that fore-fnger seem almost
miraculous. He covers the tile with new
layers OF colors, and flower after flower is
dashed out of the blue ground.

the wide heaven whose sympathy could
ayail-and you were away. That night
kneeled by the empty cradle and began
once more, 'Oh, God. Then tears came,
and l cried and sobbed, with a breaking
heart, upon my knees before God.
"My dear James my dear husband--I
have never before written thus to you. |
have written calmly-suppressing part of
the truth even-lest you might be troub-
led. But is it right that we should live
thus, with so much of the earth between
US? Can you not abandon your search
for gold, and come back to me? There is
now no joy which can reach my poor heart
except what your presence can bring to
me. Oh, husband--come back! | would
care nothing for all the gold in California;
but you can make me happy again. l love
you now as well as ever. Day before yes
terday, | went to the graveyard, and
thought of the same day four years ago
and then, sitting by our daughters grave,
I felt stronger love for you, James, than
ever before. But is it not dreadful when
wifes love for her husband and her hus-
bands child, brings gloom and grief, in
stead of Joy and gladness to her heart?
II do not write this to make you feel
badly, dear James. But Oh, will you not
come back to your sad and lonely, but
loving EMILY"
This letter was written in delicate but
distinct hand. There was no trembling in
the fingers that wrote it. The poor wo-
mans grief was too deep, too hard for that.
/, who had seen her wrecked and ruined
husband, felt a pity, sympathy for her
wretchedness that she can receive from no
other friend. "No other friend"-the
phrase is correct though | know nothing
Of her beyond what her own letter con-
tains God pity her! The yellow soil of
these hills will soon hide the grave of her
lost and drunken husband. The bright
hope of her early life will come to her new
er again. The good God will pity and
excuse her, if never again she is able to
look up from her knees into the blue heav-
en- and say, with trusting heart, "MY
FArHER!" Each May-day that comes
will wiring her heart with memories of
early hopes and bitter disappointments.-
The soft air-the fresh howers-even the
bright sun and kindly heaven Of spring,
while giving joy to all around her, will but
increase the gloom which will gather with
deepening shadow over all the pathway of
her life! God pity her.
How fervently vowed, that wife nor
sister nor kinsman of mine should ever

nation of the bowl, none but God can

ECHO TO ALICE.

Twas in the Post Office few days ago,
when man entered with unsteady steps,
and asked if there was any letter for him.
He was evidently the wreck of a man of
promise and former refinement, and a
thinking man could not fail to have a
feeling of disgustful pity to see him thus
fallen. The Post Master gave him a
letter, which he opened and read with
drunken attention. When he had finished
it, heard him mutter "G-d d-n it;
the old girl don't know what Internal luck
Tn in!" He stepped to the bar, in the
same room, called for "brandy straight, .
of which he drank huge draught, and
