GOLD PRoDrCT OF CALIFORNIA. Some APP
prchcnsions has been felt in business circles,
that the gold product Of California is falling
off, and is to dwindo down IA idly to com
paratIvcly small sum. Such result would
soon knock the bottom out of the whole credit
and bank-note system of the country. There
are not more than six lions Of specie IN all
our chartered banks; and upon this narrow
basis the whole of the vast paper issues all
depend, and. in fact, all the great business
operations ofthe country. Real estate stocks
and personal securities. and property Of all
descriptions. would fall from tho present rates
and business enterprises would be temporarily
checked. The bank issues, whcreupon depend
the business interest of the country, are passed
not so much upon the amount efgold in ,hei,
vaults or in circulation. as the yearly addition
to the currency which is to be contributed
by California;
But it is not true that California gold min
ing or washing has fallen off, or is likoly to

in New York for the last year, and for the
two first months of this year, show some dim.
mutton. But if less gold has come to New
York in that time it is because more has
been sent to London, and because more has
been retained in Callfornia.-N, q. Creole

ASPARAGUS BEDs.--A friend and towns

that the planting Of the seed of the aspara
agus is better than the planting of two year
old roots. lie prepared his bed in the usual
way, then planted three seeds in IL hill. if we
may so call it in a triangular form, two in
ches apart-thc hills being about one foot
apart each way. The first year the seed
made rapid growth, tall and strong; the
second year, good-slzed cuttings for the table
and plenty of them, were produced nearly
equal to the third year products of two year
old roots. As our informant is wholly reli-
able in any statement he may make, we con.

to cause asparagus to he cultivated to twice

FIIlBUsTERING DoNT PAY.-That flibus-
terng in the United States IS not good
investment upon the capital paid in and
the passion and the sentiment expended, is
proved by the fact that while Americans
have never yet undertaken a national war
that has failed they have never undertaken
marauding expedition that has succeeded.
The'' Albany Journal gives the following
US proof
NlcKenzie's' Patriot War in Canada failed,
and its victims were transported or shot
Lopez's foray in Cuba failed, and he persisted
by the garote. The Sonora expedition
failed and the bones of its deluded members
are bleaching on the Plains. The Nicaragua
expedition has failed at last, also, Walker
is cooped and starving, while his men are
begging their way back home through New
York and New Orleans"

The DEATH OF THE LAST DAUGHTER OF
GEORGE ILL., The London Times, in record
ing the death of the Duchess of Gloucester,
the last of the children of George III, says:
She was born on the 18th OF April, 1IIG, and.
consequently, had long passed the ordinary
limit OF human life. There We're thirteen chill
dren born from the marriage of George Ill.
with Queen Charlottc-George, Prince OF
Wales, afterwards George "; Frederick,
Duke of York; William, Duke of Clarence,
afterwards William w; Edward, Duke of Kent;
Earnest, Duke of Cumberland, afterwards
King of Hanover; Augustus, Duke of Sussex,
and Adolplus, the Duke Of Cambridge. OF
the six daughters, three died unmarried and
three were married. The names in the order
of birth stand thus: The Princess Royal,
Charlotte Augusta, who WAS married to the
King OF Wurtemburg; the Princess Augusta,
who died unmarried; the Princess Elizabeth,
who was married to the Prince Of lIesse HON.
burg; the Princess Mary, the lady just dead,
who was married to her cousin, the Duke OF
Gloucester: and, finally, the Processes Sophia,
and Amelia, both Of whom died unmarried.
With so copious a race there was little dam
ger of Il disputed succession or of Il vacant
throne.-lt is singular, however, how few i'll
number are the representatives of this numcr-
Gus family in the present generation. Queen
Victoria, the King of Hanover, and the three
children of the late Duke Of Cambridge, are,
we believe, now the only survivors, and the
Princess Charlotte, daughter of George w.,
is the only one who has passed away. There
is, however, happily but little chance that the
royal family of England will be speedily ex-
halistcd. But few days before the venerable
Duchess of Gloucester was summoned from
this world ninth child was born to the Queen
of England, so that an orderly succession to
the British throne would appear to be among
the events on which one may calculate witt
reasonable certainty.

Little Nelly sleeps tonight,
Though the moon is shining brightly
Yet it giveth her no light.

No one coneth TO the door;
There has never been a tootstcp
Heard upon the walnut floor.
In the summer that is coming,
We may see the flowers bloom,
We may hear the birds sing gaily
In the trees about her home.
But alas our little Nelly
Slecpcth in her narrow cell;

NpFef hear the old church bell.

not less than architecture, music. or scup-

persons habitually attentive to dress display
the same regularity in their domestic affairs.
Young women" says he, "who neglect
their toilette, and manifest little concern
about their apparel. indicate in this very
particular disregard Of order: a mind but
little adapted to the details of housekeeping:
deficiency of taste and of the qualities that
inspire love. The girl of eighteen who de-

women to suppose that they may safely
throw Off all care about dress with their eel
ibacy. as if husbands had less taste than
suitors; or as if wives had no less taste than
mistresses of the advantage of elegant and

To effect this however, expensive attire is by
no means essential. The simplest lobe may

rare a quality is good taste! In the mere
matter OF p,op,icty and harmony Of colors,
there is room fora treatise which has yet to
be written by some one thoroughly proficient
in tic aesthetics of dress. Even the sim pier

are constantly neglected. Some of these
canons as laid down in an EnglSh poem of

for the good sense Of the dosmas as for the
