arrival of MIR. Thompson from
Carson Valley.

Mr. Thompson arrived at Mokelumne
Hill at 81 o'clock p. NJ, on Friday, June
9th, from Carson Valley, via. West Point
Mosquito Gulch and Rich Gulch. He
made the entire trip from this place to the
Valley and back, on horseback, in five
days-having spent little over one day
there. He reports snow in the mountains
in patches, for nearly twenty miles-meta a
four horse team at Silver Valley, loaded
with 800 lbs. of merchandise for Carson
Valley-also, met Mr.. Shearer at the Big
Meadows, on Thursday night, with wagon
and four yoke of oxen, carrying provis-
ions for himself and party, ten men, who
are engaged in working the road-also,
met Mr.. Belts, expressman from Muir
phys, at Big Meadows, on his way over
the mountains.
He reports the arrival of sixteen teams
on the 1st inst, from Salt Lake, (mostly
apostate Mormons) with their families
They bring no later news from Salt Lake
City
He reports heavy showers near the forks
of the Mokelumne, twenty miles east of
this place, on the evening of the 4th inst,
which did not extend as far west as the
Big Meadows.
The rivers are all very high, and the
snow rapidly disappearing. He was obliged
to swim tributary of the North Fork of
the Mokelumne
About twenty teams will start from Car
son Valley on the 18th inst, via the Big
Tree road, to California, for supplies of
merchandise. They estimate the value of
this intended cargo at near $12 900.
Several large droves of cattle from Utah,
are en- route to California, and will be here
shortly. The Mormons report the grass
abundant, between Salt Lake and Carson
Valley.
The prospecting party that went to
Walkers river few weeks since, has re-
turned bringing intelligence of good pros
poets obtained They will return as soon
as the water falls sufficiently to permit ad-
vantageous work.
Mr.. Thompson says that ST, 1000 Judi
ciously expended, will make the road from
West Point to the intersection of the Big
Tree road, Is miles above the Trees, an
excellent stage road. The distance is 20
miles. CdlarcraS Chronicle.

Eye GLAssEs.-Sir David Brewster, in the
North British Reuiem says that no opinion is
more common, and certainly none is more in
correct than that it is prudent to avoid the
use of artificial helps to the eyes, so long as
they are not absolutely indispensable. The hu-
man eye is too delicate structure to bear con-
tinued strain without injury and the true rule
is to commence the use of glasses as soon as
we can see better with them than without them,
and always to employ such as will render vision
most comfortable and pleasant. The spectacles
habitually used for ordinary purposes may not
be adequate to certain occasional demands
such as reading very fine print, examining
maps, &c. To meet these cases, hand read
ing-glass, two and a half inches in diameter, to
be used in conjunction with the spectacles, and
never without them, is strongly recommended.
similar use of the reading glass is also rec
commended to short-sighted persons, in con-
junction with the concave spectaces, when ex-
amining minute objects.

| love to hear the earnest voice,
Wherever thou art hid,
Thou testy little dogmatic,
Thou pretty Katydid
Thou 'mindst me of gentlefolks-
Old gentlefolks are they
Thou say'st an undisputed thing
In such solemn way.
Thou art a female, Katydid;
know it by the trill
That quivers through thy piercing notes
So petulant and shrill,
| think there is q knot of you
Beneath the hollow tree;
A knot of spinster Katydids.-
Do katydids drink tea?
Oh, tell me where did Katy live,
And what did Katy do?
And was she very fair and young,
And yet so wicked too?
Did Katy love naughty man,
Or kiss more checks than one
| warrant Katy did no more
Than many q Kate has done.
Dear me I'll tell you all about
My fuss with little Jane,
And Ann, with whom used to walk
SO often down the lane
And all that tore their locks of black,
Or wet their eyes of blue
Pray tell me, sweetest Katydid,
What did poor Katy do?
Oh no ! the living oak shall crush,
That stood for ages still,
The rock shall rend its money base,
And thunder down the hill,
Before the little Katydid
Shall add one word, to tell
The mastic story of the maid
Whose name she knows so we'll
Peace to thy ever murmuring racel
And when the latest one
Shall fold in death her feeble wings,
Beneath the autumn sun,
Then shall she raise her fainting voice,
And lift her dropping lid,
And then the child of future years
Shall learn what Katy did.

MONARCHY VS.. REpUBLIo.-The con-
trast between the English Monarchy and
the American Republic, in the following
article, from an English Democratic Jour
nal, the People's Paper, edited by Ernest
Jones, must strike with force the most su-
perfcial reader:
Here we have an old monarchy with
German Royal family costing one million
pounds per annum-a national debt of
800 million pounds sterling, costing twen-
ty-eight millions per annum, and entailed
by that Royal family, through German
wars, for German interests; heraditary-
landed aristocracy, drawing rental of 16O
millions yearly, from the people; State
Church, robbing the same people of eleven
millions more every year; poor-rate equal
to the revenue, and a pauper population
equal to the inhabitants of some continen-
tai kingdoms debt, royal extraya-
ganees, pauperism, poor rates, taxation.
and land rental, increasing constantly
This is what ws1lave here
On the other side the Atlantic. there
is young republic, with native Presi-
dent, which costs only $4,000 per annum.
a national debt of seven million pounds
which might be paid off in one wear. with
out the revenue of the country feeling anv
material drain an income so LARGE. that
the Executive seeks to reduce it bv ten
million dollars, no hereditary aristocracv
drawing the life-blood from the noonlo;s
veins; no State Church spelling the
people as the Israelites were told to snoiJ
the Egyptians, we are Informed, but for a
tar less excusable motive; no paupcrs and
no poor-rates worth mentioning; no for
elgn interests predominant in legislation
no war undertaken for the interests of an
alien descended family; no decay, no de-
cline, no threatened ruin; but on the con-
trary, prosperity, economy, wealth, happi-
ness and contentment. That is what they
have there
" What is this difference? Because In
the one country there is franchise re-
stricted to one-seventh of the population.
one-half Of which seventh returns seven
tenths of the representation, combined with
that useless, mischieyous, and ridiculous
institution called monarchy Because in
that country there is Universal Suffrage.
and a Republic. That is the difference
between the two institutions as shown in
IN their results. Could there be more
striking comment on the relative value of

formerly of Albany, astonished the people of
Florence, Italy, by driving eight horses, two
abreast, attached to light vehicle, up and down

the police that they awaited upon him with a

BY LAWRENCE LARABEE.
There is no hope above the bliss
That sheds its halo DER the grave;
And were the soul deprived of this
The beacon shining DER the wave
That rolls upon the futures shore
'Twould sink in fathomless despair
So deep that joy could never more
Reflect her golden tresses there,
Nor steal a radiance from the skies,
To light those depths where the sad spirit lies
Struggling with Fate, how many fears
And weary doubts diSplace the light
That glimmcrs through the waste of years
Like lone star in deep midnight
That seems to tremble as we gaze,
As 10th to keep existence there,
When every other hides its rays
In depths of cloud-convoking air;
Then Hope grows dim beneath the gloom
That hangs like chaos DER th Egyptians tomb.
There is presence in the air
There is a presence on the EARTH
That glows with beauty everywhere
An emanation or a birth
From the Eternal and Supreme;
And this should teach the soul its truth
And beauty is no sleepcr's dream,
But simple as the faith of Ruth;
For doubts foe as subtitle, even,
AS the Arch-Fiend who erst rebclId in Heaven
