One bitter cold day in Winter came 70 the study,
work Immediately on two long and important let
ters one to Senior Gayangos at Madrid the other
to Count de CircOurt at Paris, which he was very
anxious to have finished in season to go by that
weeks mail to Europe. There was barely suffici-
ent time to get them ready before the mail closed.
They were about half done, when II o'clock, bis
hour for exercise, arrived. He was SO anxious to
get them off, that he did what mad never known
him to do before: be relinquished his walk, and
kept at his writing case, telling me to go out and
stretch my legs, but to be sure and return at l
o'clock, when be would have the letters ready to
be copied. l offered to remain and copy as he
wrote but he said there would be time
enough if came back at l O'Clock.
He never would allow me to work for him beyond
the hours stipulated in our agreement, and was
very careful not to encrosch upon my time even for
a mil ute, though he often made me take holidays.
l strOlled about the city for half an hour, and on
my way back passing through Broad street, where

three or four small children in wretched loft over

The Daily Times.

The Times wants to know where the anti
Lecomptontes of California will 90, assum-
ING as it does that the Charleston Conven-
ton will nominate a Lecompton Democrat
and the PhIadel phia Convention, an anti
Lecompton Republican. We answer that
while the parties referred to are making the
necessary preparation to accomplish the oh
ject referred to, the anti-Lecompton party
will not be idle. In California they are now
organizing for the State election, and will
without Goubt carry the State. The Repub-
licans in this state are mere corpora's
guard. They can do neither good nor evil
by separate organization. In reference to
the national organization, we shall await
further intelligence from the East. CaIifor-
mia cannot elect President alone. It is not
necessary to await the action Of Conventions.
The people have the right and they have,
on former occasions, in their primary charac-
ter, made nominations and secured the cleo
ton of their nominees. The same may oc-
cur again. AS to Judge Douglas, he has
never said that he would abide the action of
the Charleston Convention. The anti-Le-
compton organ of Chicago said so long
time ago. New and startling developments
have since been made, in reference to South
ern views and policy, which must necessarily
prevent islge Douglas from recognizing the
Charleston Convention as Democratic for
one moment. Sac. Register.
The above is from the Broderick mouth

officer authorized to administer oaths, as follows:
First, on bond given by State officer. that such
surety is resident and treeholder or householder
within this State; and on a bond given by a coun-
ty officer, that such surety is resident and free

State, which may be levied upon and is not eX-
empt from execution and forced sale; provided
that the County Judge of each AID any county in
this State, may at any time, upon his own or any
other motion, call by written notice to that effect
upon any one or more of the suretles upon the
official bond of any of the county officers of his
county. for a further qualification Of his or their
responsibility; notwithstanding any former justi
fcation thereof, and Notwithstanding any appro-
val of such bond or bonds: and such proceedings
shall or may thereupon be had as provided in
section one Of an Act approved May eighteenth
eighteen hundred and lifty-three, entitled an Act
concerning suretes on official bonds.
Approved March 4, 1859.

COINS CuRED.-The Journal Of Health
tell us that the simplest, safest, most avaa-
bic and consequently the best cure for corns
on the toes, consists in three operations
lst Soak the feet in hot water for fifteen
minutes, night and morning, for week.
3D. After the soaking, rub a little sweet
oil on the corn, or any other mild form of
grease, with the fingers, for about five min
utes
Sd. Cut hole in one two or three thick
nesses of soft buckskin, and bind it on the
toe, so that the hole in the buckskin shall
receive the corn.
The object of the water and oil is to soft
en- the corn and parts adjoining; the object
of the buckskin is to protect the corn from
pressure.
In a very short time the corn will become
painless, and will subsequently fall out itself,
as it is growth, and is pushed upward and
outward by the more natural growth beneath.
1t is thrown out of the body by the action of
the parts, as a splinter or a crushed bone, as
being no longer a part OF the body.

THE SILENT GIRL.

She seldom spoke; yet she impaired
Far more than language could
So Bird like, bright, and tender hearted
So natural and good
Her air, her look, her rest her actions,
Were voice enough for her:
Why need tongue when those attractions
Our inmost hearts could stir?
She seldom talked, but, uninvited,
Would cheer us with songs
And oft her hands our ears delighted,
Sweeping the keys along
And oft when converse round would languish,
Ask'd or unasked, she read
Some tale of gladness or of anguish,
And so our evenings sped
She seldom spake; but she would listen
With all signs of soul;
Her cheek would change, her eye would glisten;
The sgh--the smile-up stole.
Who did not understand and love her,
With meaning thus DER fraught?
Though silent as the sky above her,
Like that, she kindled thought.
Little she spakc but dear attentions
From her would ceascless rise;
She checked our wants by kind prcventions,
She hushed the children's cries;
And, twining, she would give her mother
A long and loving kiss
The same to father, sister, brother,
All round-nor would one miss.
She seldom spake-she speaks no longer;
She sleeps beneath yon rose;
'Tis we'll for US that ties no longer
Awaken memory's woes
For oh! our hearts would sure be broken,
Already drained of tears,
If frequent tones by her outspoken,
Still fingered in our ears

Cn1NA-The magnitude of the Chinese
empire is greater than that of any other
save the Russian. It's territory covers s.
100000 of square miles Or nearly double
that of the United States.
The streets of China are from 5 to s feet
wide, and are paved with granite slabs, each
three to four feet in width. The conveyance
is either on horseback or in sedans. The
lower order of mandarns ride horses; the
higher in sedans. Horses are never used for
draught. The foreign trade Of China is tea
and silks. In 1856 they exported 95,0oO,-
