But Col. Groome is a "yentleman,"
says the writer, and "bcttcr able to fill

not gentleman, that this ups tart should
take snch pains to assert the fact -
Note, reader, the spirit of this sham

"aristocratic" notions, as it gets most of
its voters, from foreign lands Col. G.

Die! Do you sec it! because Mr..
Hicks was poor in his early days and FL
led the Office of constable, this locofoco
scribbler would keep him down. Against
Col. G's gentHHy there is nothing to
say; but if such is the test of those who
do the locofoco writing here, it isnot the
test of the voting men Of Cecil; while
at the same time Thomas Holiday Hicks
is esteemed as much of a gentleman in
his own county as John c. Groome is
here. Whatever foreign influence may
finally accomplish in this country, if not
put down by Amcricanism, there is MOTH
yet in our laws, thank God to prevent
man who starts poor in life from being
gentleman, or from being elected Gov-

midday, therefore, he placed the mill on the
kitchen table.
Grind away said he, and let us have a
mess Of herring aud some milk of the best
sortp So the mill began to turn out her
rings and milk, till all the dishes, pots and
pans were filed, and at last the kitchen was
completely flooded. The man kept twisting
and turning the mill; but, do what he would,
the mill did not cease grinding, and at length
the milk had risen so high that he was in
danger Of being drowned lie now tore
open the chamber door, but it was not long
before the chamber was likewise inundated
and it was with difficulty that he could wade
through the milky tide, and manage to un-
fasten the latch Of the house door. No soon
er had he opened the door, than out he rush
ed, still pursued by the rushing torrent of
milk and herrings. And on lie ran thine
had reached his brothers house; and then he
entreated his poor relation, for Gods sake, to
take his mill back; for if it goes on grind
ing for another hour said he, the whole
village will be inundated with herrings and
milk"
Bat the brother refused to take back the
mill unless the other counted him out three
hundred pounds more; and as there was no
help for it, the rich man was fain to pay him
the money. So, now that the poor brother
had money as well as the mill, he built a
house that was far handsomer than the one
his rich brother inhabited With the help
of the mill he collected so much gold that he
could cover the walls with plates of gold and
as the house stood near the shore, it could
be seen shining from great distance at sea.
All who sailed near the coast were sure to
anchor III the neighborhood, and TO pay a
visit to tho rich man in the golden house, in
order to see the wonderful mill.
One Gay, a captain, who, like so many
Others, had come to see the mill, inquired af-
ter looking at it, whether it could grind salt?
g Yes, it can grind salt as well as any
thing else"
/ The captain then wanted to purchase it at
any price; for thought he, IF | had this mill
| should not be obliged to sail 50 far over
the rough seas to fetch salt, and then could
make myself comfortable at home"
At first the man would not hear Of selling
it, but the captain teased SO long, that he
consented to part with it for many thousand
pounds. AS soon as the captain had obtain
ed possession Of the mill, he took care not to
remain long in the neighborhood, for fear the
man should repent of his bargain; SO with
out even stopping to inquire how he was to
manage the mill he went back to his ship
and sailed away On reaching the main sea,
he took out his mill, and cried, Grind salt,
and let it be prime stuff"
And the mill began to grind salt till tsplit
and crackeh again. When the captain found
his ship was full, he tried to stop the mill, but
in spite Of all his endeavors, the mill went on
grinding, and the heap of salt grew higher
and higher, till it finished by sinking the
ship. So now the mill stands on the bottom
of the ocean, and keeps grinding on at thi:
very day, which is the reason that sea water
is salt.

quently heard the question asked, "What
keeps up Drytown?" There does not seem to
be any extensive mining in its immediate vi
cnity, and certainly the travelling custom, al
though it is large, would not support town
the size of this. But it must be remember
ed that every community partly, if not wholly
supports itself in the exchange of labor
The larger the community, the less necessity
there is for outside help. The interior cities
of Mexico are marked instances of this fact.
Doubtless the many quartz mills in this vicn-
ity aid some in the prosperity of Drytown,
although their mainsupplies are not purchased
here A half interest in the Emerald quartz
mill and lead at this place was recently pur-
chased by Mr. Wick, the celebrated pickma-
ker of Sacramento; the sum paid was two
thousand five hundred dollars. The mill has
been remoddled and the lead will be worked
with energy this winter
In lieu of other amusements the people
here have an occasional mock-trial of some
one who has not gone in strict accordance
with the notions of right entertained. A
short time since quack chronological lectu-
rer was put through in approved style. If
lawyers would desire to be posted in the la
test practice they should attend these
courts; it would be better than course of
lectures. The leading lawyer here attends
regularly His Office is the most comforta-
bic one in the county and is ornamented with
o picture Of a boy stealing from his grand
mother.
The Chinese community Of Drytown are
at least half of the inhabitants, and endeav-
or to be governed by the laws of their own
country. An instance of shylockism was
brought to light among them last week, that
exceeds old Shylock himself Over two years
ago o Chinaman lent China woman one
hundred and fifty dollars, she giving her note
for it to bear interest at the rate of twenty
per cent. compound interest per month. Suit
having been brought on the note, judgment
was rendered for the principal and twelve
hundred dollars interest The man insisted
in open court for the money or the woman
the Cinnamon around declaring that the claim
should be enforced after the law of China if
American courts could not do it. Revd
Mr. Shuck has been endeavoring to settle the
matter, having been sent by the head China
men of one of the companies.
Gambling is said to be as prevalent here
as the wants of the place require; monte, al
though forbidden by law, is the favorite.-
Has that law been declared q nullty? The
subject of the non-enforcement of law in this
State has been so harped on that it fails to
arouse any to sense Of tlfeir duty.

Having left Jackson on one of the early
lines of stages for Drytown, made no tracks
on the way We were full inside, Chat is,
the stage was,) three Cinnamon occupying
the front seat; one of whom took his place
with a pipe in his mouth that held fire longer
than any old-fashioned fowling piece. 1t
went off in occasional whiis, striking Bill
Hamilton, who sat on the middle seat, full in
the face; this caused Hamilton to complain
of being very sleepy, and he proposed a
change Of seats with "Johnp by the side of
the smoker but John "no like him." Hamil-
ton entreated, but it was no use; Johns final
reply was, "me like um dis, belly well; you
like um, why you no take um in Jaekson?'
Being the proprietor of the line, Hamilton
had to grin and bear it, as it would not do to
raise n muss with Cinnamon in these days Of

worth of their money, and where landlords
do not consider them like eels-only made to

Since my last travels in this section, Dry
town has undergone material change; that

that was here at that time. The main street
is now lined on both sides with new buildings,

Mr.. BUCHANAN ON PAPER MoNEY-The
following is an extract from speech made
by James Buchanan, in Congress, many years
ago. The crisis at the East has called forth
its republication
"The evils of redundant paper circula-
tion are manifest to every eye. 1t alternate
ly raises and sinks the value of every mans
property 1t makes beggar Of the man to-
morrow who indulged in dreams of wealth
to-day. 1t converts the business of society
into mere lottery, whilst those who distrib-
ute the prizes are wholly irresponsible to the
people When the collapse comes-as come
it must--it casts laborers out of employment
crushcs manufacturers and merchants, and
ruins thousands of honest and Industrious
citizens"
