The Overland Route to Caliiornia.

John r. Bartlett, ESQ.,, who was the Com
missioner appointed to run the boundary be-
tween Mexico and the United States under
President Fillmote's administration, In the
years 185O-53, has written an elaborate pa.
per, which appears in the Providence Jour
nal, in which he takes decided. ground in
favor of the Southern line, near the 32d
parallel of latitude, which has been selected
by the Postmaster General for the overland
mail route to California. Mr.. Bartlett gives
this route the preference on account Of the
many advantages which he says his observa-
ton assures him that it possesses. He ira
veled with seven loaded wagons, many pack
mules, twenty-five oxen, and one hundred
and fifty sheep, over considerable portion
OF the line, and may therefore lay claim with
good reason to know its character. He
thinks the Southern line has narrower belt
OF woodlcss and waterless region to traverse
than any other; the summit level at Ell Paso
is only $500 or 1000 feet above the level
OF the sea, while the summit level of the
central or Albuquerque route, near the 35th
parallel, is reported to have an elevation of
about 1000 feet. between the Rio Grande
and Colorado water was always found-if not

by digging for it-and the whole extent was
passed without crippling wagon. This
region Mr.. Bartlett pronounces admirably
adapted for wagon road or railway. Be-
yond the Colorado is the California desert,
having breath of about 100 miles, which
must be crossed This is very hard and level
with occasional spots of sand. 1t is entirely
destitute Of wood, and nearly SO of grass.
Water in the dry season can only be had by
digging; but it could probably be obtained
in any desirable quantities by opening large
wells, and by providing reservoirs to catch
the overf1owings Of the Colorado. Carisa
Creek furnishes water in the dryest seasons.
From this point to San Diego water is found
at convenient distances, and also an abun-
dance of grass. Emigrant parties from East
ern Texas in large numbers have passed over
this route, making, however an unnecessary
detour in one place which lengthens the Jour
ney one hundred miles. Mr.. Bartlett, on his
return, met numerous parties upon the road,
and in one instance flock of 1900 sheep.
all bound for California. lie appeals to his
published reports and dispatches to support
his present statements, and asserts that al
though the region through which this road
passes is no Paradise, and is poor in many
respects, yet it is infinitely better and presents
more advantages for a great national highwy
than any yet discovered to California.

They questioned her. She had little
to tell. Her mother and father were
both dead. What was her name She
was not certain, but her fathers name
was Y. 1t was enough. The old
lady and gentleman took the child be-
tween them in carriage, and straight
way drove to the house of her grand
mother, with whom she said she lived.
There they discovered that their son had
absolutely been married some time be-
fore his death, to pretty sewing girl,
who did not long survive him, and who
died, leaving behind this one child.
Mr.. and Mrs. Y. were rich and childless.
This little creature, ragged and unedu-
Gated, was more welcome to them than
a fortune. She was instantly washed
and dressed, and teachers had for her.
Her fortune changed as the season chan

A STORY Or REAL LIFE "A littl

fered bunch the other day to a gentle
man and lady who we're staying at that
establishment as they were returning
from a walk.
"Please buy my violets, sir :" said
the little one holding up purple bunch
that still seemed to have the dew upon
it, Please buy my violcts-only six
pence a bunch"
"No 90 away, child" said the lady
rather harshly; Il don't want them"
My dear" remarked the gentleman
mildly, "You have spoken rather harsh
ly to the poor child, see, her eyes are
filed with tears"
The lady looked around. The little
violet girl, whose eyes we're dark as the
flowers she sold, was weeping silently
In an instant Mrs. Y's warm southern
nature gushed out, and turning back
she clasped the poor child in her arms
and endeavored to assuage her grief.
"How very, very like our poor AL

attentively in the face of the poor violet

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Jonathan.

Observation-Disclosures Jonathan,
snubbed by British travellers, is not per.
hap, aware what high authority be has
to keep him in counter ance in his little
eccentricity of whiting. The following
anccdote of Napoleon OCCURS in Lon
don Journal of the year 1918 -" An
eminent artist now living, was visiting
Paris during the short peace, and among
other places went to see the room where
the Senate assembled There was a
chair OF State at one end of it and the
person who showed the room, pointed to
on Of the arms of it, which was new
DO you see, monsieur said he, thxt
new arm = Yes, but what is there re-
markable in new arm l suppose it
was broken by accident. No, Sir ; the
remarkable thing about that arm is, that
it is renewed once in so many weeks. -
Renewed once in so many weeks For
what, pray = Sir when the first Con-
sui sits in that Chair, be has a trick,
while the Senators are speaking or de-
liberating, of taking a penknife from off
the table, and hacking the right arm
with it till the surface is reduced to
splinters. Every now and then we re-
new it without saying anything, and
when the first Consul has repeated his
operation sufficiently We make him an
other.'"
With Bonaparte the habit was attri-
buted to excess of nervous action. The
same incitement would not be far wide
of the mark with Jonathan. 1t is not
that he
/" Hhitties as he goes for want of thought" +"
1t is restlessness, not lazin ess, which in
duces him to ply the jack knife. He is
so apt to work, that he must be doing
something.

there is a spring, so small that single

evil the French have discovered an effsc-

by which all insects an | larve, or the

Experiments have been made at AL
giers on the most extensive scale. It was
ascertained that two erammes of chloro.
TORN, or sulphuret Of carbon. per met
rical quinta of wheat, were sufficient to
destroy in five days time. all insects in
wheat; with five gyammes of sulphuret
OF carbon. per metrical quintal of wheat,
the destruction takes place in twenty
four hours. The action of chloroform is
slower. in consequence of the density of
its vapor. which impels it downward and
keeps 1t in the lower portion of the
wheat. The action of sulphuret of car
bon or chloroform may be so prompt as

rather simplifes the operation. Exp,r.
iments were made on ll,6OO hectolitres
OF barley at once; 100 pounds of the
sulphuret of carbon were used, which re-
qrired twenty minutes to introduce into
the mass. These operations may he

grain is simply covered W tn a water proof
cloth, which is closed with clay near the
