OriuM.-We could never understand how peo-
pie could get a taste of opium fastened on them.
We tried small quantity Of it the other day for
a "pain internally" We were ordered to take
two pills day for four days. The first dose was
really delicious 1t gave us a pink-tinged sleep,
filled to the brim with girls made::of rose-lcayes.
We INDUCED in dreams of the most Oriental or
der. In one of them we had mother-ofpearl
hand sled, with golden runners. On this we
glided downa rainbow made of ice cream, and
brought up on terrace, the supports of which
were great spars of emerald. The second night,
things began to change. About the supports Of
the terrace anacondas began TO appear, while in
the distance lot of green monkeys, with their
tails burnt off, were quareling about the propri-
ely of making pin-cushion of us. The third
evening, matters appalling. The terrace had
gone, and so had the rainbow, and the gils made
Of rese-leaves; and in their stead we had a bed
filled with rattle snakes and on the head-board,
four grizzly bears pulling at hawser. one end
OF which was fastened to our neck and the other
TO an iceberg. That men should use opium for
a day does not surprise in the least; that
they should do SO for month. seems really
wonderful. Rather than become confirmed
opium eater. we would throw ourselves into Et-
lu. We eau imagine nothing more terrible.

The NICARAGUA CoLoNIzATIoS SCHEME.-Our
readers will recollect that short time since we
noticed the fact of CO.. VIM. Walker having re-
ceived a grant of some fifty thousand acres of
land from the government of Nicaragua, and
that he contemplated the peaceable occupancy
of it. From the San Francisco Herald OF
Wednesday we learn that he intends to sail for
the port Of Relejo about the 10th Of March, and
remarks theron as follows:
The grant has a condition of colonization an
nexed, and the grantee proposes to carry one
hundred and fifty men to the land ceded him by
the State Of Nicaragua.
This is the first step towards proper devel-
opment of the immense natural RESOURCES OF the
Nicaragua lsihmns. The territory is extremely
fertile, yielding large and abundant crops OF cot
ton, sugar. coffee, cocoa, tobacco, indigo, maize,
wheat and rice. Rich mines are also said to ex-
ist in the State, and the Indians in their rude
way have long worked the gold pacers OF the
northeastern departments. The climate is ex-
cellent. especially on the Pacific side, and among
the uplands north and east Of lakes Alanasua and
Nicaragua.
Labor is cheap and abundant; and all that is
required to make the country wealthy, is firm
and stable government 1t is probably with a
view of giving peace to the people, and estab-
fishing in the State nucleus OF law and order,
that the grant has been made to Col. Walker
The accomplishment Of such an end will be a
great good, not only to the State of Nicaragua,
but to the commerce and civilization of the
world.

the Chills aud Fever, but they remove from the

after the use of other remedies, to reproduce
the disease again. In this respect we claim
superiority over every other remedy which has
been offered to the public. There is paper

Wells. Fargo g Co.

The Express aud Banking Company of Wells
Fargo and Co. have declared semi-annual div
idend of five per cent on their capital of $780,
000 out of their net earnings for the last six
months, leaving. as we understand, much
larger amount us a surplus in the hands of the
Company.
We have recently had occasion to INQUIRE into
The organization and management OF this Com
pany.
Wells Fargo & Co. Joint Stock Associ
alton or Copartnershp with capital, absolute
and Iona file, Of s5o0,0U0 and certain articles of
agreement which regulate and limit the liabil-
ilies of the Stockholders among themselves as
to make these liabilities by no means individu-
ally onerous aud yet SO far as the public and
parties dealing with the Company are concerned
the personal property and responsibility of every
one of its associates stand pledged for its engage
nents And after careful examination of the
list Of its l20 associates, we can say on the Judg
! ment of gentlemen in whose assurances we have
confidence, that This amounts to from four to six
millions. Besides this, the public have ad-
ditiona security in the fact that the articles of
| Association absolutely prescribe the purpose and
scope of the Company's business, and this can
| not be changed without the unanimous consent
| of all the associates. The business prescribed
| is the Express and Exchange busness-the for
warding of all kinds of frelghts and the pur-
| chase and sale of gold dust, coin, bullion and
bills of exchange. And the Directors and man
ayers of the Company being among its largest
stockholders, are personally interested in keep
ing its business within its Legitimate scope. In
| these limitations we think the public have very
important collateral securities.
In these times of deplorable I" crashes we
are quite sure our readers, especially those in
| terested III the great and growing California,
Oregon and the other Pacific trade. will be glad
to know the important facts we have stated rela-
tive to this Company, every one of which We
believe they have verified to their entire
satisfaction, on application to the proper author

MArRIMoNY AND PRIESDsHIP.-The nature of
matrimony is thing, and the nature of
friendship is another. A tall man likes short
wife; great talker likes a silent woman, for
both can't talk at once. gay man likes do

children and make pap. while he is enjoyin' OF
himself at parties. A man that has no music In
him, likes it in his spouse, and so on. 1t chimes

Sloop of War in the harbor; there happened Ia
be large number of American whalers in the

The ALLIED SPECTATORS OF CHURCHEs.-The
Russian newspaper called the Journal of Odessa
publishes extracts of letter from resident at
Livadia, one of the most lovely spots in the Cri-
mea, describing the devastation OF Count Polos-
ki's villa during the descent at Yalta. The wri-
ter says
Urged by preseniment of danger, we had
packed up and buried all the most valuable con-
tents of the houses, such silver plate, jewelry,
marbles, vases, antique busts costly paintings,
and lamps We had also provided Tor the safety
OF the contents of the church, leaving, indeed,
nothing but the bare walls. This, repeat, was
extremely fortunate; for, when the enemy
came Oft from Yalta. they found scarcely any
thing to carry off. They, in fact only got hold
of 500 measures of wiue, some books some re-
mains OF maccaroni few old plates and dishes
placed purposely III the cupboards, some brass
chandeliers, plated teapots, glasses, and certain
utensils which yon will excuse my PARTICULAR
zIng. They made repeated enquiries after the
plate, but nobody told them where it was to be
found, although our domestics remained on the
estate. You will perhaps inquire how we came
to think 1t necessary TO take precautions against
the spoliation of the church at Livada. Are not
our enemies, though foes, still Christians Read
then what is written, under date of Oct. Sih.
from the advanced posts near Eupaiora: ''Al!
the villages belonging to private persons in this
locality have been rayaged by the enemy. AT
ter sortie from Eupatora against Akmetchet,
the property of Prince WoronStotf, not only was
all the district ravaged and the cattle carried off,
but the interior of the church was plunde cred,
the holy images broken or stripped, and the
chief one which adorned the altar split in many
places. AS for the people, young and old, they
have been beaten and otherwise maltreated at
pleasure.

A BoId. Violent Wan.

We often hear the expression used, that such
a person is !" bold and violent man. We give
a brief history of the career of one Aguirre, a
Spanish leader in South America, in search Of
El Dorado. in 1860, who while lieutenant, gained
his distinction as chieiain by numbering his cap
tain, and was afterwards hung traitor to the
crown of Spain. We copy from the Explora-
lions of the Amazon" by Lieut.. Herndon. In
his (Agurres) letter to Phillip II, he says:
"On going out of the river Amazon, we landed
at an island called La Margarretta We there
received news from Spain of the great faction of
the Luherans This news frightened us ex-
ceedingly. We fonnd among us one of that fac
ton: his name was Montece1de. had him cut
in pieces, was just; for. believe me. signor.

to the Amazon Pedro de Ursoa, Navarresse, or
rather a Freucbnlan. We sailed on the largest
river in Peru ill we came to gulf of fresh wa
ter. We had already gone three hundred leagues
when we killed that bad and ambitions captain.
We chose Cayallero of sevile, Fernando dc
Gu-maa for king; and we swore iealty to him,
as is done to liyself was named quart terlnas-
ter general, and, because | did not consent to
all his will, Le wanted to kill me But killed
this new king the captain OF his guards, his lieu-
tenant general. his chaplain. a woman, knight
of the order of Rlodes, two ensigns, and FIVE or
six domeslics of the pretended king. then re-
solvee to punish Thy ministers and thy auditors.
named captains and serseanis. These again
wanted to kill me but had them all hanged.
In the midst of the adventures we navigated
eleven months till we reached the mouth of the
river. We sailed more than 500 leagues
God knows how we got through the great mass
of water. l advise thee, @ great king. never TO
send Spanish fleets into that cursed river"
The following story, from the Viagero Uni
versaw of Ulloa, shows his barbarity in yet more
revolving colors. 1t appears that in all his
marches he carried with him favorite daush-
ter. When defeated and surrounded, so that es-
cape was impossible, he called this lady, and adj
dressing her, said '' ] had hoped to make thee
queen. This now is impossible. 1 cannot bear
that you should live to be pointed at as the child
of traitor and felon. Thou must prepare for
death at my hands," She requested few min
utes for prayer, which was granted; but her fa-
ther, thinking she was too long at her devotions,
fired upon her whilst on her knees. The unfor-
tunate lady staggered towards him; but taking
her by the hand as she approached, the villain
plunged his knife into her bosom, and she sank
at his feet, murmurng Basta Padre Mo, 1T
is enough, my father.
