A FABLE, BY CHARLES LAMB.-"My
dear Children" said ansold rat to hi, young
ones, ''ihe infrnilics of age are pressing SO
heavily upon me, that have determined to.
dedicate the short remainder of my days to
modification and penance, in a narrow and
lonely hole which have lnely discovered
but lot Inc not interfere with your enjoy
ments. Youth i. the season for pleasure
be happy, therefore, and only obey my last
injunction-ncver to come near me in my
retreat. God bless you all :"
Deeply affected, snivelling audibly, and,
wiping his paternal eyes, with his tail, the
old rat Withdrew, and was seen no more for
several days, when his youngest daughter,
moved ahcr with filial affection than by
that curiosity which has been attributed
to the sex stole to his cell Of modification
which turned out to be hole, made by his
own teeth in an enormous Cheshire cheese

FRrMoNT's CLAIM.-The Washinpt,

FREMoNT's CLAIM.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Courier &
Enquirer says of Col Fremonl's claim in.
California, which is now pending by appeal
in the Supreme Court OF the United States.
"It Involves The right Of Col. Fremont to
a tract Of land containing one hundred
square leagues, equal 10 nine hundred
square miles, in the midst OF The richest
mining district of California. The claim Of
Colonel Fremont comes through an alleged
colonization grant to one Alvarade from The
NJ, xican Government. This grant was q
vague permission to locate a hundred square
agucs without more finite boundaries
than r cuirement in the permission that
the floating right should attach within limits
computed to embrace a thousand squal o.
leagues. The California land commission
has allowed the claim, and the United
States appeals gainst its decision. 1t is
among The greatest land cases ever brought
before the court, not only from the impor-
tance of the principle involved, but because
tn a, land in question is already occupied by
thousand, OF miners who extract from it
many millions of dollars in gold annually.
The establishment Of a private itle over
the seen. - of their labors would produce a
sensation not favorable to the ulhority Of
the Federal Government. Nevertheless,
justice must be done and the Jaw, must
be executed as the court shall declare"

The END OF Mr.. SoULE's MlssIoN.-
According to Madrid letter writer an
attempt made by MIR Soule to depart from
Madrid with some eclat proved decided
failure. The correspondent says that the
American Minister caused it to be privately
intimated that he should expect, before
leaving, an audience from the Ministerial
Council, but was Informed through the
same channel that though the Minister Of
Foreign Relations would not sta nd upon
his amour propre in the matter, such a
request would almost be a personal insult
to that Minister, and would be one unknown
to diplomatic usage. So Mr.. Soule did not
deem it expedient to make that req uost.
lie subsequently had an interview with The
Minister of Foreign relations, in which I've
was treated with formal poiteness,bu moth
ing more.

dates to The lst inst.
The transit Of the lSthmuS was regularly
made from ocean to ocean by railroad
The Alta California furnishes the follow
ING summary Of the week:
The principal matter Of interest has
been the explosion OF the steamer Pearl
near Sacramento. on Saturday, by which
about seventy lives were LOST. Fify-lhree
dead bodies had been found. and upwards
of twenty persons are missing. There
we're one hundred and twenty-five persons
nm hoard, and only fourteen escaped unin-
iured. Among the killed, were about 20
Chinamen
The funeral of the dead was atteDde by
1900 persons, and the procession was over
a mile in length.
Wadeigh, the engineer OF the boat, was
arrested, but discharged, the evidence b.
fore the coroner's jury going to show that
he was n careful engineer, and that the ex
plosion was oceasoned by some cause be-
yond his control
The Senatorial question appears as far
from being settled as ever. The 3Slh bal
lo,ng by the Legislative Convention was
completed and with scarcely any different
result since the fist ballot was taken. The
friend, of the different candidates were
firm, but tie knowing ones predict that
there is to be general breaking up Of par
ties and actions.
The legislature has transacted no busi-
ness OF material importance, so far. A bill
has been passed appropriaiing $1,000 from
the Treasury to each member. The Gov
ernor refused hi. sanction to il, but it f..
nally passed in spite Of the Governors We
to bv vote of 55 to 81.
Geo. Sheldon was hung at Oakland by a
mob. His offence consisted of stealing n
horse from Alderman Kelsey.
At Iowa Hill, on the 9th, three persons
were killed, and others severely wounded
BY the bursting Of a reservoir.
After season of dry weather, the rain
had once more set in. A weeks steady
rain would add millions to the products of
the pacers.

effect on mechanics than any other subject

to take the lead Of any motive power now

All Things Created with Purpose.-ln
the days of Mohammsd, there lived an
Arab who had q very pretty wife, The
Devil transformed himself into so accurate
a likeness of her husband, that she could
not, for the life of her, tell which of the
two was her real husband. Both claimed
herr. e. her real husband and the Devil
in his ikenesses. The case excited much
interest in the neighborhood, but no solu-
ton of The difficulty could be obtained. At
length the case was brought to the Prophet
for scluian.
Nohammed after little reflection, held
up a small eartIicrn pot in his hand, with
spout in it like a teapot, and said 10 them
both, snow, whichever is the real husband
will enter into this vessel by the spout and
thus establish his claim to the woman"
The Devil as having more capacity in
that way than the sturdy Arab of real flesh
and bones, entered at once into the pot, as
suggested. The moncnt he entered, Mo-
hammed closed the top Of the spout and
kept him shut in.
But by the time he had kept his ", keel
lency" shut up for few days in that earll.
on pot, it was ascertained that ,he world
was getting wrong in its machinery. Mo-
hammed was therefore constrained TO let
the Devi out from his confinement to take
necessary place in the management OF the
affairs of the world. But, before restoring
him TO his liberty, Mohammed extorted
solemn promise, that he would never
trouble The "fair sex" any more, but con-
fine himself to what he could do amongst
,he "mae sex'-Mohomme Tradition
