Luter from NTeSIco.

The steamship Texas, Capt. Forbes, left Vera Cruz
on the llth, and arrived at early hour yesterday
morning.
Since the date of our previous advices from that
unhappy country, its political and domestic condi-
tions have not improved but grown worse. 1t is still
the victim of anarchy and faction. Violence blood
she'd robbery, and all kinds of outrage everywhere
prevail.
The question of supremacy appears to lie between
the government and Haro Tamariz, whose reyolu-
tionary forces have possession of the city of Puebla
The government forces were besiegng the place, and
the city of Mexico was being strongly fortified.
The government forces under Gen. Gilhardi at

The Panama Star and Herald Of the 4tfl says:
The passengers, mails and freights by the mail
steamer St. Louis, which sailed from New York on
the evening of the 2lst inst, reached Aspnwai on
the afternoon of the 29th and were at the station in
Panama at o'clock of the Both. In about an hour
and half afterwards everything was on board the
steamer Golden Gate. At o'clock the Gate sailed
for San Francisco, the whole trip from the sailing of
the st. Louis from New York to the sailing Of the

the province Of Chiriqui, in Costa Rica, says:

OLD MAIDS VS.. You've MA1ps.-There has ever been
untirng disposition on the part of most every body,
to speak roughly Of old maids and try to make their
unenyable lives still more drear by constant abuse.
Now, we never were of that class and always glad
to say word in their favor Whether right or wrong
it is source of pleasure to find others who cherish
sentiments like ourselves. Imagine then our joy on
reading this paragraph in an exchange
"Say what you viii of old maids, their love is more
geeray stronger and sincerer than thatof the young
milk and water creatures whose hearts vibrate be-
tween the Joys of wedoek and the designations Of the
ballroom. Until the young heart of woman is eapa-

her love is like May shower, which makes rainboWs

A Coop ONE.-We like good joke, even if it hits
us or party, and therefore give place to the fol-
lowing yarn gotten up by the Columbus (O) Fact,
fanciful though it may appear:
A political story was told in our hearing the other
evening, by an old Whig, which we do not remember
ever having seen in print Of course we do not vouch
for its truth in every particular: .
A few years since party of very distiague South
ern planters, two of whom were Democrats and one
a Wing, being on visit to the North, were invited
about election time to dine at the house of wealthy
arstoctic, and wthal very beautiful lady in south
Ohio. After being seated at the table, which was
uxuranty spread with all the decacies which wealth
could command, large, burly negro came in and
seated himself directly opposite the gentlemen at table
The gentlemen too well bred to notice the in.
truder at the time but Immediately upon his retire
ment from the room, one of them remarked to the
"What could have induced you to insult us by the
presence of negro at your table? ~
"Why, gentlemen, he is my husband !" replied the
'fYour husbandr' exclaimed the three simultane-
ousy, with mfeigned establishment
"Yes; my sister first ruined our family pride in
marrying and / resolved to equal her. This coored
man was wealthy, and so / married him.
Pray, who did your sister marry ~ asked one OF
the party.
"Why, she married Locofoco, and I have never
been able to hold my head up snceH'
The two Locofocos made an excuse for cutting their
visit short. They endeavored to keep the joke
secret but the Whg would tell, and SO the "story got
out"

THE HEARTS GUESTS.

When age has cast its shadows
Ger 1ife's decling way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day; .
Then we shall sit and ponder
On the dim and shadowy past
Within the hearts still chambers
The guests will gather fast.
The friends in youth we cherished
Shall come to us once more,
Again to hold communion
AS in the days Of yore.
They may be stern and sombre;
They may be bright and fair;
But the heart will have its chambers,
The guests will gather there.
How shall it be, my sisters?
Who then shall be our guests?
How shall it be, my brothers, ....+
When life's shadow on US rests?
Shall we not, midst the silence,
In accents soft and low,
Then hear familiar voices sa."6
And words of long ago?
Shall we not see dear faces, ~ -
Sweet smiling as of old,
Till the mists of that still chamber
Are sunset clouds of gold,
When age has cast its shadows
Ger life's declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day2

THE NORTHERN WINTER.-The N. Y. Eve Post of
q late date has the following paragraph:

THE NORTHERN WINTER-The N. Y. Eve. Post of
late date has the following paragraph:
The severe cold weather has almost succeeded in
laying an embargo upon business in New York. Our
rivers are full Of ice and vessels frozen in the
DOCKS Yesterday afternoon the steamer Illinois, bound
to California, with United States soldiers and other
passengers had to have the ice cut out of her dock to
get sea. The clippership Glad Tidngs with freight
and passengers bound to New Orleans is frozen in at
her berth. Buttermilk channel is closed and people
walk on the ice from Brooklyn to Governors island.
Our markets have short supplies of produce on ac-
count of the obstructions to navigation and prices Of
fish have advanced. .l
From another N. Y. paper we clip the following:
Early this morning man got upon a large cake of
ice from pier No. l, and was carried on it over to
Jersey city. Finding that he could not make safe
landing there he stuck to his cake and oated round
with the tide until he again came to the New York
shore. When he had amused himself as long as he
thought prudent, he jumped ashore the foot of
Morris street.
A sleghing party, (says the New Haven JournaD
in two-masted Sharpee,' rugged on runners, with
hind to steer with, stopped at our office yesterday af
ternoon to give us three hearty cheers. We guess"
they came from Fair Haven. Commend us to that
kind of sailing" We like it.

DIR. L. J. CZAPKAY, of San Francisco whose

per- has met with unprecedented success and out
stripped all rivalry with his professional brethren
to whom his success might teach the necessity of
strict adherence to honorable treatment Of pa
tients. The necessity of gentleman of the Dr. IS
intellectual and professional ability has been long
felt in California, where NAL practice has left its
mark upon the present and in a hereditary point
of view, it is to be feared upon succeeding gene
rations. 1t is strange, that amid all the legal en-
actments for the protection of society there has
not been one TO require medical practitioners to
give some evidence Of ability before they are per-
mitted to deal with human health and life-the
most important of earthly considerations Yet
strange as it is, empircsm has for years sown its
evils broad cast over the land. We are pleased
to say, that in DR.. CZAPKAY the people have
found one upon whom they can rely. and who has
such Testimonials of character and ability rs are
unquestionablc. The Dr. can be consulted free of

no charge unless he effects a cure. 3m.

The following is published to protect the

an impostor:
At called meeting of Ell Dorado Lodge
No. 26, F. & A. NJ, held on Monday Dec
3lst, A. L. 1855, the Secretary was ordered
to publish the following notice in the Demo-
crdt:
An impostor, calling himself Mason who
sometimes signs his name B. F. SETTLE, at
Others j. F. or D. F., is imposing himself on
the Masonic Fraternity, by borrowing sums
of money from them, and clandestinely leav-
ing without paying the same, we deem it our
duty to publish him as base impostor
His age is from 80 to a5 years; his hight,
six feet; is of Aorid complexion; hazel eyes;
wears side whiskers, with moustache. He
stated that his right cavce or collar bone
had been broken recently.
When last heard from he had been inn
posing upon the Fraternity in Volcano.
