There was grand womans rights ami
versary at New York in May. An Eastern
paper says of it:
The scene enacted there by portion of
the audience was disgrace to American
civilization, and almost enough to make one
doubt that such a. fact had ever existed.
There was nothing in the dress, manners, or
words of the ladies apon the stand to elicit
anything but the most respectful attention.
Mrs. Antoinette Blackwell, though she may
have made great mistake in her calling"
is woman of beautiful presence and of the
utmost refinement of manner. Her voice is
winning and melodious, her enunciation
distinct, her language eloquent and forcible
She was at least entitled to a hearing, and
there were hundreds in the hall who wished
to hear her, and form their own judgment of
her opinions. But the mob in the gallery
effectually prevented this by kissing, groan-
ing, stamping and yelling. Lucretia Mott,
the most gentle of Quaker matrons received
no better treatment. Neither did Wendell
Phillips, who said: 'You may hiss, but
don't you know that the Kisses of mob
carry an idea farther than the most eloquent
lips"

Costly FUNERALs.-A sensible man, DR..
Goss, Roman Catholic Bishop of Liverpool,
recently condemned pompous and expensive
funerals, in the course of an address to some
young men. He told them they could not
tell how sad he felt the other day at seeing a
hearse with its black plumes stopping at the
door of poor, miserable house. He trust
ed, when God should call him away, he
would be borne to the grave, not in hearse
with nodding plumes, but on the shoulders
of six poor men. Nay, he would prescribe,
and enjoin upon those who survived him,
that he be carried to the grave as one of the
poor; and if he died possessed of anything,
that which would have been spent in empty
pageantry, should be spent on some good
work. 1t was Heather and Pagan prac-
tice to make parade of a funeral and he
hoped his hearers would never be guilty of
such a thing.

SHIPPING STATIsTIcs-From lengthy tables
in the Alta we compile the following inter-
esting facts:
The total treasure shipments by steamer,
from San Francisco, for the six months end
ing June goth, 1859, were S2I, ,552,2 200 40,
which sum is less by S792,74s 20 than was
shipped for the same period last year, and
less, with one xception--l855-tha for
the same period during the past six years.
The total treasure shipments by sail vessels
was S2,l75,00O 99 making the grand total
of treasure shipments S23, ,727,624 40-an
increase of $l92, l60 80 over the first six
months of 1858. The treasure imported
amounted to Sl,8ll,29 48, mostly from
Mexico. The amount Of freight money pay
able on freights arriving at the port of San
Francisco was 50, ,480, ,446-nearly half of it
on freight shipped at New York This shows
an excess for the first six months of 1859
over the same period in 1853 of 81 ,O37, ,277
The value of exported merchandise was
$2,199,767 SO; imports not given. The net
value Of quicksilver exports for 1853 is esti-
mated at about $S00,0O0, for 23,2l2 TASKS.
great falling off is perceptible this year
owing to the litigation now pending in re-
gard to the ownership of the New Almaden
mines. The total number of sail vessels
which had arrived up to June 30th, was 2l2.
The shortest trip made from New York was
performed by the Andrew Jackson in l2O
days; average length of passage, l48f days.

INTENDS TO REFoRM.-The S. F. National
says:
We believe, that political warfare proper
ly conducted, requires no more intemperance
and intolerance than the investigation of
scientific truth. We know, that partizanship
should never diminish its responsibility to
the pigmy dimensions ofpitiful personalities.
1t is time that politicians should know that
the people will denounce the corrupt appli-
ances by which they strive to win their way.
1t is time to tell them, that the intelligent
masses will not sanction under the guise of
devotion to party, the outpourings of indi-
vidual spleen. Truth, argument and reason,
is what is now required to convince the
public, instead of needless vituperaten,
empty defamation, and delusive sophistries.

The annexed stanZas from the pen of 0. W.
Holiness and appear in the June number of the Atan-
tic Monthly:
The Two Streams.
Behold the rocky wall,
That down its slopDg sides
Pours the swift rain drops, blending, rs they fall,
In rushing river tides
Yon stream, whose sources
Turned by pebbles edge,
Is Athabaska, rolling towards the sun,
Through the cleft mountaiu-ledge
The slender rill had strayed.
But for the slanting stone.
To evenings ocean, with the tangled braid
OF foam-fecked Oregon.
So from the heights of Will
Lifes parting stream descends,
And, as moment turns its slender rill,
Each widening torrent bends
From the same cradles side,
From the same mothers knee
One to long darkness and the frozen tide,
One to the Peaceful Sea.
The Amador Ledger says that lady residing in the
town of jackson recently received letter from her
mother in the East, with the following direction
Go, sheet, and carry all my heart
would that thou coudst carry me;
Rlch freight with love though wilt depart
Across the land, across the sea.
Ger thee will bend loving face,
To thee will listen little ears;
Thou wilt be welcomed in place,
And thou wilt bring both smiles and tears.
Across the land, across the sea,
Thy homeward course thou wilt pursue:
] may not see them welcome thee,
Yet know well their hearts true.
Then swiftly go, thou ocean steed;
Roll on, ye rapid, iron wheels;
Bearing away with careless speed
The message that my soul reveals
