Colpnel J. e. Gowen, of this citv. tho
contractor fer raising the sunken feet
at Sebastopol, will leave New York in
the steamer Asia on the 18th inst. for
Liverpool, whence he will proceed over
land to the scene of his operations
The Courier mentions that two vessels.
containing the machinery and eouip-
ments necessary for the work. will
shortly leave Philadelphia for Sebasto-
pol.-Boston Journal.
Col. Gowen, we think, has made y
wretched bargain. He agreed to raise
the vessels for one-half of them. They
were miserable old hulks when they
were sunk, and the guns, rigging, and
everything valuable had been removed
Moreover, if they had been new the
worms IN those waters are SO numerous
that they will be honey comb before
they can be raised. The Russians will
do well to get their harbor cleared, and
that will be the principal benefit of the
operation.-Nele6uryport Herald. -

A young man went from New York
City to the West, where he commenced
business onhis own account and married.
His friends in the city were interested
in his welfare, and when a merchant
Was about to journey to the place where
the young man had located, he was re-
qhested to visit the emigrant and ascer-
tain how he lived, what sort of wife he
had chosen, his prospects, etc. Accord
ingly the New Yorker asoertained tho
residence of his young friend, and calf
ed upon him quite early in the morning.
He found him in a small neat cottage
a md just taking his breakfast. The in
PRODUCTION of the New Yorker to his wife
was quite off hand and unceremonious.
and he was requested to be seated and
partake of the morning meal. The
young wife had prepared the steak, bis
cunt and coffee with her own hands, and
for a table she used her kneading board.
over which napkin was spread, and
the " board " placed ON her lap. The
New Yorker declined seat at the ia
bic and took his leave. On making his
report to his New York friends as to
how he found his young friend living,
he described the style as magnificent
and for explanation of the superlative,
he said that were he the owner of that
young mans furniture, he would net take
ten thousand dollars for the legs of his
table!

The Unicers, the Catholic organ in
France, concludes an article, in which
it describes the state of society in the
great cities of the United States, with
the following passages:
The present state of society in Amer
lea would inspire us with alarm, did not
the progress of the Catholic religion
give US confidence in the future. We
repeat once more what we have often
said: 1t belongs neither to England nor
to the United States to constitute them
selves judges Of the governments and
nations of Italy. AT Naples and at
Rome there exists an amount of moral
ity, security, religion, prosperity and
comfort which puts London and New
York to shame.

Born TO Coon LUCK-The st. Lou
S Leader tells the following story:

is Leader tells the following story:
Not over a. dozen years ago, mer-
chant of this city, well known and highly
respected, failed in business, and, after
settling up his affairs, gave to his prin-
cipal creditor deed of trust on certain
real estate to secure the payment of
$4,000. AT the time, the property was
barely valued at that, SO the creditor
put the deed in his safe, and there, so
far as he was concerned, the matter
ended. The merchant broken down.
disappointed, poor, but yet entsrprising,
went South, visited California, Mexico,
and South America, speculated, made
half dozen fortunes, and lost them
again. A few weeks since he returned
to the city, sick, travel-worn, needy and
disheartened. By chance he met his
old lawyer, a gentleman high in his pro-
fession, and who is deservedly respect
ed. After the first greeting, tho law
yer remarked, 81 am glad to see you
back, and, as you seem to be in want of
funds, the sale will be Just in time
The merchant looked hard at his
friend, and finally said. "sale what
sale? I've nothing to SELL"
"Nonsense, my dear fellow, you are
richer than you imagine. DON'T you re-
member the deed of trust 1 drew up for
you some twelves years ago 2"
81 do. What of it 7"
"Weli, at that time the property
would not have realized the sum, but it
is now in market, and 1 expect to close
contract for its sale this week"
You amaze me. What price do you
expect to get"
"I've asked $4,000, and shall get it
too. Your debt and Interest will amount
to $4,000, or thereahouts SO you'll
have $4,000 to go upon.'
The sensations of the party may be
"more easily imagined than described"
as the penny-a-liners have it but one
thing is certain-Mr. A. went home
happier man than he had been for ten
years at least.

Ihe late postmaster general, James
Campbell of Pennsylvania, cooliy took
the responsibility, on entering his office.
to annul several heavy contracts for
mail service, made under the whig adj
mlnlstration and fully authorized by
Congress. His efforts at retrenchment,
however, were ill-advised so far as the
treasury is concerned, for the contrac-
tors have since recovered quite as much
as though their labors had been per-
formed. Glover & Mather, on the Mis-
sissippi river, have recovered $500, 600: f:
Mr.. Blanchard. on the Salt Lake and
Pacific service, has got $4,000; and
now Cormick q Ramsey, on the Very
Cruz and Acapulco route, are awarded
