Hce.-1ne Suyysys ~ Caiifor,ai We were
shown a map Of the progress oiihe sur
yeys in California, made and returned 70 the
General Land Once by the surveyor general Of
that State. It embraces beside exterior town
ships, base and meridian lines, surface OF about
five or six millions of acres subdiyided into sec.
tons for market, and laying chiefly in the valley OF
the San Joaquin river, and around Tulare lake,
The extension OF the surveys In this State has been
50 rapid that connexion by actual surveyed lines
has been made between the mouth of the ella, at
the southeast angle, via San Francisco, and the
source Of Sacramento valley, near the northern
boundary Of the State, and between the seaboard
at several points, and the Sierra Nevada noun
tains.
We learn that existing legislation Of Congress,
relative to mineral lands, at present embarrasses
any official action In reference to bringing these
lands into market. fa
Private Land Claims. Returns OF o consider
able number Of separate plats Of the surveys Of
claims within the former De Bastrop grant. in
Louisiana, have reached the General Land ONCE.
Il Is understood that this will enable the Office TO

OruEn PEopLE's EYES Strange as IL may sound,
certain it is that the regard universally pay to
o.her peoples eyes, puts US to more trouble and
expense than almost anything else. What sums oil
money are squandered away, whether they can be
Afforded or not what trouble what toll what fuss,
what vexation, are submitted to- for no better rea-
son than because our ncighbors possess the eye
power of looking at us! As if other peoples did
not already tax us sufficiently in the way of what
Is called keeping up appearances"
MANY even double or treble that tax in order to
exaggerate appearance, and show themselves to
the world in an expensive masquerade, till, per-
haps, they end by becoming really poor, merely
through the pains they take to avoid the imputa-
ton Of being thought SO; or, rather, through the
misplaced ambition of being considered far wealth,
Tor than they really are. The keeping up appear
ance is laudablc enough, but the art Of doing SO
is not understood by every one; for, instead Of
regulating appearances according to a scale which
they can consistently and uniformly adhere to, a
great many persons set out in life by making APP
pearances far beyond what they can Afford and
beyond what they can " keep up" at all-at least,
not without constant effort pain, and apprehen.
sion.
