Beg> A Mr.. B. w. Richmond writes letter
to the New York Tribune. in which he states
that change is going on in the atmosphere
which will result in period Of terrible and
universal disease. But for the drouth last
summer, he says that America would now be
one vast hospital. The numerous earthquakes
Of the past year in Asia and America are a
proof of this great atmospheric change. Our
present drouth is to be followed by a succession
of long and severe winters and wet and cold
summers, and during the seasons to come, for
nine years, we may look for more sickness
among the human race.
This Richmond prophet, or geologist, or
whatever he is, has doubtless some favorite
theory. Whoever happens to outlive tie nine
years, may see how facts support his theory.
In the mean time let nobody be Heightened
out of his propriety. If our friends, the
Time-ists, among the Advent brethren, are
are right, then Mr. Richmond is on the wrong
scent.
But cool, sober, thinking mcr, who believe
the Judge of all the Earth will 10 right, have
full confidence in his wisdom also, and are not
to be disturbed by any such augures.'

GoING TO SErrLE.-The sloop-of-war
ST. Mary's, Capt. Bailey, came down the
bay and anchored off North Beach on Fri
day. She has just been overhauled and
repaired at the Mare Island Dry Dock
1t is said that she is under instructions
from Commander Farragut, the senion
naval officer of this station, to proceed to
San Juan del Sud to settle some Difficult
ties between our Consul and the Govern
ment of Nicaragua. 1t would be sin
gular coincidence if Capt. Baily should
lombard the town on the Pacific side of
the Nicaragua route, and destroy it, as
Capt. Hollins, of the Cyane, did Grey
town on the Atlantic side. These big
guns are rather ugly customers when they

PRINCE MEN( HIKoFr's GALLANrRY-An
English officer, now a prisoner in Sebasto-
pol, had letter sent him from young lady
in England to the effect that she "hoped. when
he took Mencchikoff prisoner, that he would
send her button from his coat, for her to
keep as a relic" The letter was forwarded by
flag of truce into Sebastopol, with other letters
for prisoners now in the enemy's hands. This
letter fell into Mhnchikoff's hands, of course, to
be read ere delivered. On coming to the above
passage, he Immediately cut button from his
coat and sent it under flag of truce, to be
conveyed to the lady, with remark to the
following etfect-"l hat he had no idea yet oil
being taken prisoner; but rather than disap-
point young lady of so simple request, he
would fulfil her wish himself before that time

pGa- 4 San Francisco manor sovs

nea- \ San Francisco paper says when
the last mail steamer came in considerable
excitement was created by very nice
looking lady, who, when the boat arrived,
was dancing, clapping her hands, and
jumping as if she would jump out of her
stockings, exclaiming, ''therc's my hus-
band, there's my husband )" and kissing
her hand to a gentleman on the wharf
When the steamer was near enough, the
happy fellow jumped on board, and there
was some hugging for few moments, to
the great delight and amusement of the
crowd, who by their shouts appeared to
sympathise mostly heartily with the mar
rled lovers, Another lady, equally joyful,
was doomed to disappointment, as the gen.
tleman she had been kissing her hand to
was not the man after all.

\ PLEASANT INCIDENTAL letter wri-
ter from New York relates the following ::
About fifteen years ago merchant
of this city was in England. One morn
ing as he was preparing to return home,
he had by his side on his table ten Or fif-
teen bank notes, of one thousand pounds
each as he opened the window for some
purpose, puff of wind blew the notes
from the table, and one was blown into the
fire and consumed. The merchant made
known his loss to the bank; a note was
made of the transaction, but he was told
that no relief could be afforded him by
the bank. He bore his loss as well as he
could. The affair passed from his mind.
A few weeks ago this gentleman, now in
business in this city, received thousand
pounds from the bank whose note was
burnt. He was informed that the bank
had waited the allotted time, fifteen years,
to see if the note would come back to the
bank; no presentation had been made,
and the bank had now legal proof that the
note was destroyed as the merchant had
stated, and that he was entitled to the
money In these tight times, such a
lift was quite timely.

'Tis evening, and the silver moon
Smiles on 4 miner s-crbia all alone
A cabin by the Yuba's side,
Has thrown its low door open wide,
To let within the glow of light,
From Cynthia, reigning queen Of night.
Bathed in the soft and mellow rays,
Sits one who dreams of bygone days
The present is by him forgot
The river roars-he heedS it not.
The moonlight dances on the waters,
Light as the step of Ewes young daughters
A low breeze in a tall pinetree
Awakes mourrful melody
The canons lie in deepest shade
Obscuring mountains there have made,
And deep dark glen and lofty height
Are rife with voices the night
But tho with visual sense he sees
The dark ming shadows of the trees.
The moonlight gleam upon the wave
That golden shores doth murm ring lave,
And hears the tones of earth and Gir
Swell solemn music every where
Nought can disturb the reycry-nay,
He lives in fairy realms away
Around him glow in visions grand
The fondest scenes of fatherland
There smile the spots his feet have preEs'd
When lies young moon was truly blest,
When freshcned beauties odorous lay,
Flung in the lap of dcwy May,
And bursting buds of flow 'rets fair
Were twined profus.ye m her hair.
Youth is restorcd-a vision bright
Of earthly bliss cnlapts the sight
His tottering feet can scarcely tread
TIE narrow pathways pebbly bed,
Ger which he goes at top-most speed,
When hurrying brothers rashly lead,
To where the dandelions grow
A starry map of he aven below.
w hat more perfected JOY is ones,
Than when a child among the flowers
The aItless smile of innoc cncc,
That after years have driven hence,
Plays on tender check that glows
With the soft color Of rose,
And Q, that ripening age could buy
The soulful radiance Of that eye;
Those lips Of love that gently part
And lisp sweet music from the heart,
Talk not to me of Cashmere's vale
Where odors sweet enbalm the gale,
Nor of the groves Of Araby,
The swelling themes Of pocsy;
Not all the charms together blent
Found in the flvorite orient.
Elysian giories of Cashmere
That fade not with the waniE g year,
he spicy groves, whose rich perfume
Is waited round Mohammed's $ tomb;
The graces Of that classic land
Where Grecian girls dance on the sand
That sacred spot, imperial Rome,
Crowned with grand old St Peters dome;
Her works Of at that silent show
The genius of long ago
Nor yet that land that Ivn ,'spcn
Has made immortal soil TO men;
Sofl sunshine Of those southern skies,
And softer andelusian eyes
The gingling bells to ancles set,
That keep time TO the castincnt:
And sweeter music of guitar,
"Beneath soft ewes cons entinC star"
Can wake one thrill within the soul
Like those when memories backward roll.
And in enchanting beauty raise
To Life anew our oyhood days;
No these we only love in part
But HOMES the idol of the heart

Take Friday altogether, did any one
ever see such weather; The winds blew
with force most furious, cutting capers
very curious; turning umbrellas wrong

while the rain came down a river, making
pedestrians shrink and shiver. Woman,
exposed to awkward tossings, lost all pro-

which to spread their provisions and
drinks, and after being thus used it was
thrown down the hill, where it was lying,
leaving the entrance to the tomb open

fence too, which encloses the spot, was
broken, the shrubbery planted by the
hands of affection was trampled upon,
the saplings were mutilated and broken.
