LAST OF THE HUGGERMUGGERs--As sprightly
school girl who attended the " Central High"
where the teachers have a way of melting the
pupils to understand what they say nthe classes,
was reading the :" last of the huggermuggers,"
and stirred by the spirit of inquiry, stimulated
by her teachers, if not by natural feminine Gu
riosfty, asked boy cousin of hers, the meaning
of huggermugger John looked thoughtful for
moment, and then said" I'll show you" and
before the incipient woman had time to make
any remark, John had his arm around her waist
and subjected it to gentle pressnre-" That's

Ns.s' There can be no union between youth
and age, January and May, as the California
Spirit of the Times illustrates by story of a
pretty young girl and susceptible widower oi
forty-eiglt, to whom, after short courtship, she
became engaged. Previous to the marriage, the
gentleman was compelled to take journey to
the Atlantic States, and, for fear OF accident
settled the sum of So, 900 upon his future bride
before starting. During his absense a tender
correspondence was kept up, and his business
completed, he hastened back with all the speed
of an impatient widowcr to fnd alas his fanct
nicely settled as the wife of his son. Like a SEN
sibe man, he took pinch of snuff, kissed the
bride, and resigned himself to his fate

CHINESE FEMALE SLAyEs.-A day or two since
says the Grass Valley National, a Deputy Sheriff
of Ell Dorado county, came to this place and
arrested Chinawoman, on warrant for grand
larceny. The complainant is said to be rich
merchant, Chinese, of Coloma. This game oi
arresting Chinawomen for larceny, and taking
them back to their owners, when they leave, is
quite common, and deserves some notice. The
women are slaves, and grand larceny, the crime
charged always to keep them where they be-
long We have known of some ten arrests, in
this county, of Chinawomen, for grand larceny
and have yet to learn of single proceeding in
the matter after the arrest.

Skeleton Leaves of pInnts.

The l,aVes of plants in skeleton form
are so strikingly beautiful. and so infinitely
varied, that collection of them, when
skilfully dried, makes an interesting ad-
dtion to The parlor cabinet, and furnishes
a very pleasing kind of ofin-doors diversion
for ladies'. The first thing to be consider.
ed is the right age of the leaves, for on
this point the successful operation must
depend If the leaf is too young, the
part desired to be preserved will not pos
ses maturity and firmness sufficient to re-
sist the Operations of decay to which the
softer parts are subjected. On the other
hand, il it is too old, ,.he cellular tissue will
have become so consolidated, that its sep
aration from the woody fiber will not be
accomplished without great difficulty
The proper season, therefor, will be when
the leaves are full grown and perfectly
ripened, so that both the above hindranoes
may be avoided. This is to be regarded
as general principle. but limiting of
many exceptions-for exquisite specimens
are obtained from old structures, as holly
leaves, &c Put as many Of the leaves

vessel with rain water, and let them remain
withouta change until the mass becomes
pulpy. when the outsr skin and the other,
or softer substance, can be removed by
painters brush, applied with gentle hand.
II tits found that any Of the parts which
it Is wished to have removed still remain,
the leaves must be returned to the vessel,
when little longer subsection to natural
influences will effect the proposed end
The time necessary FOR the misceration of
the different leaves is as follows:apple and
pear, about three weeks; mulberry about
two or three weeks. II q fine white color
is desired, the specimens may be bleached
in clorido Of lime. ',f M t.
