New GRAHADIAN AFFAIKs.-The Cabinet were en-
gagged in the consideration Of foreign relations.
The New Ganadian Minister has arrived at the capi-
ta and the questions in dispute between his govern
meEt and the United States especially with reference
to the Panama riot will doubtless be taken up.
The difficulty between the United States and New Gra-
NADIA has it is said reached such point as to render
the speedy despatch of large fleet to the Isthmus
highly probable
CHINA QuEsTIoS.-The Cabinet had also uuder con-
sderation the position of affairs in China. The British
Minister has been in communication with govern
ment upon this question, with the design of eectng
tripate alliance of England France and the United
States-the three leading commercial Powers of the
wordfor the protection of mutual interests and the
extension of civilization and commerce in the Central
Fowery Kingdom.
DEMAND FOR DAMAGE AT GREYTowN.-The Wash
ngton correspondent of the New York Tribune writes
Lord Napier came here with four or five millions
of claims against our Government for the destruction
of alleged property of British subjects at the lombard
ment of Greytown. Two weeks before the late ad.
ministration went out NJ Sartiges preferred similar
demands on behalf of French subjects, requesting Mr.
Marcy to leave them open for adjustment by his sue
cessor but he prepared reply which is regarded as
conclusive against our liability and Lord Napier, feel
ing its force and bearing upon England in its applica
ton TO Copenhagen and Canton, will withhold his in
tended reclamation"

The BALL ON FRIDAY NIGHT.-The Ball given
evening last, turned out most brilliant affair.
There was very large assemblage of ladies,
and any number of gay and gallant old bache-
lers present, and the dance was kept up until
Mariposa Democrat., 1857-05-06
Announced the approach of day.

The arrangements of the large and spacious
hall were very neat and appropriate, and the
music furnished for the occasion excellent.
1t was by far the largest Ball that ever came
off in our town, and reflects much credit and
hberality upon the gentlemen getting it up.

MUTTON VS.. PoRK.-Physicians recon-
mend mutton as the most wholesome meat
the easiest digested, and best suited TO
invalids, while pork, as every body knows,
is the most unwholosome flesh eaten. In
England mutton is a favorite dish, end we
apprehend it IS to this, rather than to roast
beef, that the Englishman owes his robust
health and rosy complexion. Our people
eat too much pork, and too little mutton.
And yet as a contemporary we'll remarks.
mutton can be produced pound for pound
at less than half the price of pork; yields
more nourishment when eaten, and keeping
sheep does not exhaust farm to the extent
that feeding hogs does. Sheep can be kept
during the winter on hay and turnips, or
mangle Eurtzel, or sugar beets. while hogs
will not do without at least some corn"
We would like to see in the papers fewer
accounts of big pigs and more fat sheep.

a GOOD ONE,

The following joke, connected with Edison
Olds is related by the Ohio State Journal
Some years ago before the Doctor was
extensively engaged in banking and in con-
Quoting financial operations as at present
and times past, he was returning over the
mountains la stage coach filled with Yves
tern members of Congress. The flask had
been circulating pretty freely, they had
told their stories, had their laugh, and con-
vcrsation began to flag. One old gentle
taking Il snOoze, when the Doctor slapping
him upon the back, called upon him to
sing song. / toi''t sing, gruffly replied
the upsDcial passenger. Well, then, old
fellow, said the Doctor, spin US q yarn, or
tell us what you were dreaming about. o,
very well, said Tie gentleman, can readi-
ly give you description of my dream, for
it has left a vivid impression upon my memo
ry. | thought. said he, that as we were
coming down the mountain, the horses ran
away, and as they cume to the brink of the
precipicc, horses, stage coach, driver and
oil were precipitGted into if, and down,
down, we went a thousand feet to the bot
tom. Of course we were killed. The first
thing recolleot was finding myself and all
my companions i'll the presence of his Sa-
tanic Majesty. He was surrounded hy his
imps, and in the midst OF flames and sui
Phur. One of the imps acted as usherer,
inE hpl1 &C ti,ot
ing to one Gil the front seat he presented
him IN great state: Who are you! and
where did you come from inquired his
clOven footed highness in Il voice of thund-
der. o, said the poor trembling mortal, my
name is - and am a member of Con-
gress from Indiana. 0 no! said old Nick,
member of Congress from Indiana, hey!
don't know that have any use for you
stand aside. One after another all nv
companions were presented. gave their
names, their professions and business, and
all were set aside until thick set dumpv
fat, handy legged fellow, with spectacles.
on his nose, was brought up. Who are
you! said old Beelzebub, and where arc
you from! o, said the terror stricken in
diridual, please sir. my name is DIR. Olds,
am member of Congress from Ohio
What, said the Devil. Dr. Olds of Ohio
this is not Edison B. is it? The very same. !
replied the Doctor, looking asquint at his
prototyPe-the same at your service
Hurra here boys jump around! shouted his !
Satanic Majesty with great excitement
jump around boys, unscrew my tail-guick!
and screw it on to the doctor-there's no
further use for me here-he's Captain now!
And as he vanished in the smoke, the noise
made by the Internal crew congratulatinr
their new captain, awakened me, and was |
glad to find it nothing but dream. A loud
laugh was raised at the expense of the doc |
tor, and ever since then he has never been
known to ask fellow passenger to relate |
his dream.

BE COMMENTED.

When things are done, and past recalling,
IT'S folly then to fret and cry.
Prop up rotten house that's falling,
But when it's Down, just let it lie.
o patience, patience, thou'rt jewel,
And like all jeSels, hard to find;
'Mongst all the various men you see,
Examine every mothers son,
You'll find them all in this agree,
To make ten troubles out of one.
When passions rage, they heap on fuel.
And give their reason to the wind.
Hark! don't you hear the general cry;
Whose troubles ever equalled mine!"
How readily each stander by
Replies, with captious echo, ''mine."
Sure from our cline this discord springs;
Heavens choicest blessings we abuse.
And every Englishman alive,
Whether duke, lord, esquire or gent
Claims as his just prerOgative.
Ease, liberty, and discomfort.
a Frenchman often starves and sings
With cheerfulness and wooden SHOES,
A peasant Of the true French breed,
Was driving in narrow road,
A cart with but one sorry steed,
And filled with onions, savory load
Careless he trudged alone before,
Singing GascOn roundelay-
Hard by there ran whimppering brook.
The road ran shelving towards the brim.
The spiteful wind disadvantage took,
The wheel flies up, the onions swim.
The peasant saw his fayorite store,
At one rude blast, all swept away.
How would an Englishman have sworn,
To hear them plump and seq them roll;
Have cursed the hour that he was born,
And for an onion risked his soul
Our Frenchman acted quite well:
lie st"pp'd. ana hardly stopp'd his song;
First rais'd his bidet from his swuon,
Then stood little willie to view
His onions bobbing up and down.
At last he, Struggling, cried, "ParJlcu.
IL ne maHqac ri que de sci,
Pour .taire de Pot0ge trcellent."'
Nothing is wanting but salt to make ex-
cellent soup.
