They say, cid Thunderer, that away in China,
Some thousand miles the other side of earth,
Where tea is grown, beyond the ocean briny,
Near the big ancient wall, thou had thy birth
If true or not, the one who gave thee breath,
Ought to have lived until he starved to death
Perhaps that Chinantan once kept an inn,
And was Shylock and hardened sinner,
Who, for the sole and naked thirst for 'tin,n
Conspired to cheat his guests of half dinner
And so the DID, penurious, wicked sprite
Invented thee to kill the appetite.
Strange that the love of gold and power eferrer
Should propagate upon the human brain,
And proffer birth to such child of terror

An instrument of woe that only serves
To furnish torture for the feeble nerves.

Ten Years Labor.

The Rev. Mr.. Benton, in his tenth annual SER
mon preached yesterday morning, recapitulates
his labors of the past ten years, as follows
During the ten years Of my ministry in Call
ifornia, have preached one thousand sermons
In all, ,3l3 sermons in thirteen years. During
these ten years in Sacramento, l have fully writ
ten out fraction less than five hundred dis
courses. have delivered, also, an average of
two lectures year, of literary character.
brought with me to these shorss as the result
of the labor of previous years, about fifty writ
ten sermons and hundred in mere outline
Nearly half of those brought with me have been
used here also. About one-fourth of the SER
mons written, CT prepared here on this ground,
have been preached twice. In this manner 750
of the sermons preached in this State are ac-
counted for. The remaining $50 of the 1000,
have been sermons prepared only in outline,
technically termed skeletons; some of them lot
ted down in that brief way, and some CT them

" | have been present, and made remarks or
given expositions of the Holy Scriptures, ut
meetings for prayer and conference, in conneo-
ton with this Church, in 400 instances on 40
times year. The last eight years have also
taught Bible class, during the Sunday School
hour, 40 Sundays each year. on the average
being necessarily absent a few Sundays out of
every twelve-month.

BG% The St. Louis Republican publishes a
letter from an officer in the army, at Camp
Floyd, Utah, from which we take the following
case of cruelty:
No longer ago than yesterday, while sitting
in the generals quarters, knock at his door
announced a poor unfortunate Young man.
about nineteen or twenty years old a handsome
Danish lad, who had been barbarously mutila-
ted, and fled for protection all the way from
San Pete Valley to our camp,-He shed tears
while telling his story.
The case of this handsome young lad excited
our sympathy much. He had, it seems, paid
his court to young Danish girl, who had emf
grated here with him, whom he had known
from childhood, with view to marriage The
attachment was mutual, but some hoary- y-headed
old scoundrel Of bishop, or other official,
wanted the girl for his harem, and, jealous of
the handsome youth, had him tied, and thus
mutiated him, first giving him chance between
that and DEATH

The ARIZONA CoLoNIzERs.-Among the late
news overland We find the following interesting
ITEM
Late adSiees from the Plains, received at
Washington, mention that in short time there

and near the northern provinces of Mexico, at
least two thousand armed men, under experi-
eneed leaders 1t is understood they will be in
vited by the Juarez government to aid him,
should it become necessary, to establish his
government permanently. 1t appears by this
report that there had been secret understand
ing between the government of Juarez and the
leaders OF the Arizona colonization scheme. IL
is expected that Gen. Walker will meet them
from the Pacific side, with large party, in sons
of the northern provinces of Mexico, probably
Sonora or chihuahua.

Prussia, and the German States will doubtless
be drawn into the war. We do not believe it
possible that the United States in any event can

however, says that the French Minister thinks

There is but one scheme Of the Emperor's by
which this result could be Brought about, and it
is this 10 induce Spain to sell US Cuba at a
time when the hundred millions that she would
get for it would virtually flow into his own ex-
chequer and when he felt certain that soma
other Power would attempt to prevent us taking
possession of the purchase. ANY such attempt
would undoubtediy lead US into q war with the
Power undertaking it. Thus he would accom-
plish two objects-that Of creating a financial
| reserve to fall back upon when his own resour-
ces were exhausted, and of indirectly bringing
about war with Power with which he has no
other decent pretext for quarreling. Ii these be
his calculations, they offer striking parallel to

he parted with it only to get the means to build

MORE LETTERs.-Political letters crowd upon
u.s. One from Jackass Gulch TO Lecompton-
te at Windy Hollow, asks:
Seeing that negroes are chatteis, and are
like cattle, any other species of property, have
the people of the Territories a constitutional
right to kill and eat them as they do hogs and

of sauce necessary to make them palatable 2"

The SECRET BALLoT.-Those wonderful men
the much abused Jesuits, were the first person;
to introduce the secret ballot on tile American
continent. This was done in Lower California
in the latter part of the sixteenth century, when
Don Estavan Rodriguez Lorenzo was elected
by the Spanish soldiers through the operations
of the secret ballot, Captain of the military
This mode of election was rescrted to at the in
stance of Father Salvatierra. In the language

orable, active, moderate, and prudent" and JUS
tifed the confidence reposed in him by his COM

lates the following circumstance:
" As the Queen, on Good Friday, was washing
the feet of some poor cid women, according 10
custom, her Majesty's bracelet fell off, and one
OF the women picking it up, offered it to her
Majesty. Ny good woman said the Queen.
since the bracelet has fallen near you, keep it.
Of course the woman was profuse in her expires
sions of gratitude. The Duchess de Medina

she would buy the bracelet of her. and a jeweler
having estimated it to be worth 1880 reals,

Louis NAPOLEON INvEYTs New CANNoN-The
Paris correspondent of the Phare, of San Fran

Notwithstanding the fact that the Emperor
is SO much engrossed with the important politi-
cal questions of the day, he appears as the in
yentor OF new species of caunon-of which
need to give you no other description than to say
that 1t is conducted almost entirely upon the
plan of the American revolver. This cannon
can be fired as many times in minute as the
smallest Colts reyolver-with the use of which
you IN California seem TO be too familiar. 1t is
a beautiful invention; and if it is really Napo-

ing that il was he and not Montholon, who con-
