FUN IN CALIFORNIA.

There is little paper printed at San Diego,
California, called the San Diego Herdld--an or
dinary grave paper, that went into the support
of John Biger for Governor and that was not
suspected of ever being inclined to fun. The
EDITORS name is j. Judson Ames, countryjud.
ge and moderate man. Lately, before the
election, he took it into his head to 90 on tour
to another part Of the State. to electioneer pro-
badly for the democratic Bigler, and entrusted
the Herald during his absence to the charge of
John Phoenix, ESQ.,, gentleman Of that ilk,
known in this vicinity by the name Of Derby.
But the judge had forgotten to inquire into
the nature Of Mr.. Phenix's politics, and the
first thing the editor did was to change the pO.
litical character, of the Herald by running up
the Wing flag, bearing the name Of William
Waldo for Governor. The Judges constcrna
tion may be fancied. He Immediately wrote
back a letter to Phonix, telling him to bring the
Herald back to its allegiance -whereupon Phc.
nix, declares his democracy, that his support of
Waldo was IL mistake, and asks forgiveness,
avowiug himself ready "to embrace democracy
with ardor, slap her on the back and declare
himself in favor of erecting statue of Andrew
Jackson on the plaza.
"Whatever is, right, (says Pheuix) aS The old
gentleman sweetlv remarked when he chopped
off the end of his nose with razor, in the en-
deavor to kill fly that had lit thereon when he
was shaving" and applies the remark to the cleo
tion Of Bigler, and adds eff this election
should, however indirectly, cause San Diego to
assume its proper position as tho first CONNER
cial city Of California, shall reverence thena
Of John Bigler forever, and | will bestow that
honored appelation. upon my youngst child, and
have it engraved upon q piece Of leather, or 9TH
er suitable material, and suspended about that
tender infants neck, until such time as he shall
be old enough to learn and love the virtues Of
his hOnored godsro.
Mr.. Phenix in his arm chair writes an elo.
quent valedictory on retiring from the editor
ship. He says;

NApOLEON,S PROPHECY.

The rather remarkable prediction Of
Napoleon, in 1917, in conversation with
his physician and companion in exile, o.
Meara, inrespeet to the extension OF Rus.
sian power over Europe, is just now at.
tracing much comment in England. Ac.
cording to his prophecy, the year 1859
would witness the commencement of
Russia'S great enterprise for the conquest
either oflndia or Europe. Now, in 1853,
the question is one which absorbs the
thoughts of the old world and fixes the
attention Of the new. The Emperor Nj
cholas has already begun the work ofiul-
tilment. But what says the dynasty of
Napoleon, resuscitated in the person of
his nephewl What will Louis dol Nous
ve1Toas.--In the meantime, let us recall
to his memory o notable passage, (otten
read by him no doubt,) from O'Mpara's
Diary ofconversations with the imperial
captive, at St, Helena, thirtysix years
ago.
"In the course of few years said Ma
poleon on this occasion, Russia will
have Constantinoplc, the greatest part Of
Turkey, and all Greece. This | holdto
DO as certain as if it had already taken
place. Almost all the caioling and flat
terry which Alexander practised towards
me, was to gain my consent to effect this
object. would not consent, iofesoeing
that the equilibrium Of Europe would be
destroyed. In the natural course of
things, in few years Turkey must fall
to Russia, The greatest part Of her po.
pulation are Greek, who, you may say
are Russians. The powers it would in
jure, and who would oppose it, are En-,
gland, France, Prussia and Austria.
Now, as to Austria, it will be very easy
for Russia to engage her assistance, by
giving her Servia and other provinces
bordering upon the Austria dominion5,
reaching near to Constantinople. The
only hypothesis on which France and En-
gland may ever be allied with sincerity
will be in order to prevent this, But ev.
en- this alliance will not avail. France,
England and Prussia united cannot pre-
vent this. Russia and Austria can at any
time effect it. Once mistress Of Cons
tantinople, Russia gets all the commerce
Of the Mediterranean, becomes o great
naval power, and God knows what may
happen.,' &c.
What may happen" may be this, viz;
that Russia, already colonizing and
Strengthening herpossessions in our own
hemisphere, will make a bold push for
the trade Of the pacific, and the tune may
come when the great battle between the
two antagonistic principles Of Democra-
cy and Autocracy will be fought upon
that ocean.

GREAT Salt LAKE.-A printer named
Mr.. NJ. Crawford, who has recently arrived
from this Mormon Paradise, gives the Shasta
Courier the following information:
very large immigration will cross the
plains this year-many suppose as large as
that of '49. A large number of families are
coming over.
Mr.. c. gives very unfavorabe account of
matters and things generally in the land of
the Saints. Times are hard; and Tor Gen.
tile, especially, he says there is no show; the
Saints esteeming il no crime to cheat, or
even steal from them when thsy can get an
opportunity. Laborer's wages are very low
MIR. c. says that for some time after he arriv.
ed there, he worked at chopping wood at So
per Elonth. He afterwards taught school at
S25 per month.
The females are represented to be gener-
ally OF rather easy virtue; but the punish
ment OF Illicit intercourse is death.
Divorces are numerous and easy to be OBJ.
talned; they are granted by the Bishop, who
generally makes short work of it, frequently
granting divorce in five minutes after the
application is made. The divorced wife gen.
orally has another husband in the course OF
q day or two.

OF Sanders, of the Evansville Journal, is
merry much delighted with Mr.. Scm'l Hall,
the "anti-Neqraska candidate" for Congress
in the Evansville district, in Indiana. This
delicate name of "anti.Nebraska candidate,
is merely another name for AJolitionist, and
the Wings and A bolitionists OF that district
have united, as they always do unite, to de-.
feat the Democrats. They are a sweet
smelling set Of rascals.- Lou. Times.
MIR. Hall is no more an Abolitionist than
the editor of the Times, therefore "anti. Ne.
braska candidate" is not another name for
Abolit:onist. We beg leave to assure our
friend of the Times, that there are not en- ough
Abolitions:s in the First District of Indiana
to be worth any party's object in counting up
or forming a coalition with. If there be q
dozen Abolitionis:s i'm this District, we are
not aware of the fact. II these Wings and

pany is about as agreeable this no, weather,

Col. May at Princeton.

PRINCETON, Sept. 2, 1854.
Dear Sir:-3Yesterday according to pre-.
vious advertisement per handful, the two big
guns rolled up minus the biggest. Col. May at
the appointed hour made his interesting de-
but by pulling off his coat and vest and roll.
ing up his shirt sleeves and informing the
citizens that it was very warm, that he was
a hard working man, and that he did not
want any office; but that his pure love for
the beniehted people Of this region had To-.
duced him TO sacrifice home and frie nds, and
to act the part OF missionary and let the
people know how TO vote. He told them
that the Nebraska bill was as plain as aay if
they could only see IL, and offered Col. Miller
in evidence by whom the point was establish
ed, as well as others which were referred 10
by him duringsthe discourse. He impaired
TO them the TACT that the notion embodied in
the bill emanated from Wing Dixon of
Kentucky, and insisted that he was a Will,
but did not say that he was Southern man
with Southern interests. He in fact made
the same speech here that he makes every
where, and no one man in the community
had the PERSEVERANCE to hear him through
Not single sweet note of acclamaton or
applause came to bis tried ear from begin.
ming TO end.
After he got through, Mr. McMasters
arose after being repeatedly and loudly called
for, and commenced one of his excellent
speeches, setting out his points not by asser.
ton or Smith Miller, but with undeniable
evidence. He took up the bill, the ques.
tons arising on il, and the arguments of the
Colonel, and handled them in such a master.
ly manner accompanied by proof, that every
one was convinced and fully satisfied In
TACT the Colonel and his lew friends acknowl.
edged they WIRE beaten, and we really felt
sorry for the Colonel. As he listened to the
speech, he became very FESTIVE and uneasy,
drank heap of water, and looked very much
like man that is afraid of being convinced.
Mr.. McMasters alluded to the resolution
passed at the convention Of which he (May)
was u member and which nominated Nc.
Donald. The Colonel WINGED under The ar.
gument. and in his reply lodged that as well
as every other assertion that he had made
during his discourse, except that he had new
er drank quart of spiriruous liquors as
beverage in his life, and said he would stick
to that and have one point. Suffice it to say
that it was grand fzzle and humbus, that
he was completely used up. and that Mr. Nc.
Masters sat down during laundering pplause
by every one in the house, the acknowledged
victor. We are ready for more Nebraska
"orators;" send 'em on. Yours
