How EpIToRs LIVE IN AUsTRALIA.-Mis-
ka Hauser, the knight errant OF the violin, has
been travelling among the Sandwich Islands
and Australia. He gives the following idea
Of an editor in Sidney:
A few days after my arrival, paid my WIS.,
its to the different editors Of Sidney. AT my
first call came to palace-liie house, the
ground floor occupied by the printing Office
On the first floor, among other advertisements,
found tablet informing visitors that the ed
itor could not be spoken with unless paid for
without exception, is advised to buy a ticket OF
admission at the door Of the waiting room
one hour costing los. (; half an hour, 6S. fiji
teen minutes, IS. Such were the contents OF
this singular price current of time.
a MOUNTAIN LAKE.-EmboSome amid
the towering peaks aud eternal snoAs Of the
Sierra Nevada at an elevation of six thousand
feet above the level Of the sea, there is great
lake Which strange TO say, does not freeze even
in the present severe winter. This is probab-
ly owing TO its great depth and the constant
motion OF its waters: for it is only at the mouth
OF the small streams flowing into the lake that
ice forms in any quantity. Tie Placerville
American thus speaks of it:
a portion Of the lake shore consists Of
marshes or meadows; and the numbers OF
trout, of all sizes, bu, many of from two to two
and half feet in length, that found in
these marshes and Shallow waters during tlawy
days and nights Of winter and spring are almost
Incredible. Kelly 4 Rogers, residents Of the
valley the present w:nle:, are progressing fine
!y in the construction OF their twenty ton yacht,
and will have it completed 10y the middle OF
May; but the tempting appearance OF the
trout IN the shallow waters, induced them I'M
u.ediately to construct yawl OF one and half
tons burlhen, which they have completed and
launched !; and the ease with which the p!sca-
tory inhabitants OF Tie lake are taken, almost
spoils The sport. Next summer the valley will
be visited by hundreds.

able that he would ever have been heard of as
an orator, he might have been celebrated, hut
it would not have been from his eloquence. bu,
the great wealth lie acquired by a speculation
in bar soap and axe handles. Roger Sher-
man became sgner of the Declaration Of In
dependence for no other reason than ,ha, he could
not make living at shoemaking. He cut his
bristles and staked his .alI'' on the .srights of
man. The consequence was that the same
individual who found it booiless to make shoes,
In few years became living power in our
revolution.
