State Bonds. - The N. Y. Tribune
says the bonds of California, issued for
the stolen Controllers Warrants are
thrown out by the stock brokers of New
York, and that complaints are heard in
in the streets AZ the course pursued by
this State. The Treasurer gave no Of
fetal notice to the buyers Of stocks in
New York by which they were to be
guided. They purchased these bonds
in the absence of Information, suppos-
ing them to be good. The Tribune thinks
the State of California would lose great
ly in credit by reputation of these
honds issued without a valid considera-
ton, and that she ought to come to the
relief of the innocent purchasers.
There is wise policy to be consulted
in this matter.

The Deacon and the Irishman.

The following amusing story is going the
rounds:
A few months ago, as Mr.. Ingalls,, of
Swampsc oft, Il. l., was travelling the western
part Of the State of New York, he fell in
with an Irishman who had atey y arrived in
this country, and was in quest Of n brother
who had come before him and settled in
some of the diggngs in that vicinity.
Pat was strong athletic man, a strong
Catholic, and had never seen the in nterior Of
Protestant church. 1t was a pleasant Sun
day morning that brother Ingalls, met Pat,
who inquired the way to church. Ingalls,
was a good and pous man. He told Fat
he was going to church himself, and invited
his new acquaintance to keep his company
thither-his place of destination being a
small Methodist house near by. There WAS
Q eat revival there at the time, and one of
the dearons-who, 10y the way, is very small
in stature-invted brother Ingalls, to take a
seat in his pew. He accepted the invitation,
and walked in, followed by Pat, who looked
in vain to find the altar, &c. After he was
seated, he turned to Brother Ingalls,, and in
whisper, which could be heard all around,
''Snre, and isn't this himtick church?"
"Hush," said Ingalls,. "If you speak a
loud word they will put You out"
"And faith, not word will | spalSe at all"
replied Pat.
The meeting was opened With prayer by
the pastor. Pat was eyeng him very close
ly, when an old gentleman, who was stand
ING in the pew, directly in front of Pat
shouted GLORY"
Hist, ye clear demon" rcjoined Pat, with
a loud Whisper which was plainly heard 10y
the minister, "be dacent, and don't make
blackguard of yourself"
The pastor grew more and more fervent
in his devotious. resenty the deacon
uttered an audible groan.
"IIst-t-t, ye backguard, have you no da-
cency at al?" said Pat, at the same moment
giving the deacon a punch in the ribs, which
caused him nearly to lose his equilibrium
The minister stopped, and extending his hand
in supplcating manner, said:
"Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in this
way. VIII some one put that man ont!"
"Yis, your rivirence," shouted Pat, 81
will;" and suting the action to the word he
collared tae deacon, and to the lau hter
and utter astonishnent of all present, in
Guiding the pastor and brother Ingalls,, he
dragged him through the aisle, and with a
tremendous kick he landed him in the vesti-
bule of the church.

Vinegar in Twenty-four Hours.

The whole philosophy of the manufacture
of vinegar is included in the word oryIdtion d:
the alcohol contained in cider. beer or wine,
combining with the oxygen OF the almos.
phere becomes acetc acid, which in diut-
ed state is vinegar.
The methods usually pursued in the man
ufac!ure Of this article are to say the east Of
them, susceptible of Improvement The con
version of cider into good vinegar, by expo
sure to The ar in casks, requires weeks and
even months to accomplish; because only Il
snoH SuJdce is exposed at one time to the
oxydizing action of the atmosphere.
BY exposing a larger surface Of the liquor
to the atmosphere, oxydation takes p lace
with corresponding rapidity, and the process
may be completed in from Nv .ntv.iour to
fortv-eight hours
The method of accomplishing this rapid
areiiication, which has long been known to
scientific men and manufacturers, may be
pursued without difficulty in private houses,
as follows: Take a clean flour barrel, and bore
auger holes all around the side, and in the
bottom; set it on a flat tub or open cask, and
fill it lightly with beech shavings which have
been soaked in vinegar. On the top of this
barrel, which is open, lay two strips of wood
and resting on these, a pail filled with cider.
beer or the like. Procure twelve or fifteen
lengths Of cotton wickng, about thirty in, h
es long, which after dipping In the liquid,
arrange around the sides of the pail at REQ.
uIAr intervals, so that one end of each wick
will I've hanging in the cider and the other
end hanging down outside, and below the
bottom of the pail. BY means of these
wicks, the pail will gradually be empiied of
its contests, which, trickIng over the shay
will he exposed to the air, absorb oxygen,
and finally be received in the tub beneath.
BY returning the liquor into the pail above
and suffering this tlickling process to be re-
peaed, two or three times, a splendid vine
oar will be obtained. The whole secret of
the process lies in mechanical increase of
surface accomplished by the sIavings.
1t is by process like that described above
that vinegar is made in the vinegar and pick
lie factory of Messrs Baker & Cuttng- in this
city. Ed. T{cnam.

An Hour at the Old Play Ground.
BY HENRY MORFORD.

| sat an hour today, John,
Beside the old brook stream.
Where we were school-boys in old time.
When manhood was dream;
The brook is choked with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away
scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day
The school-house is no more John,
Beneath our locust trees;
The wild rose by the window side,
No more waves in the breeze;
The scattered stones look dcsolatc.
The sod they rested on
Has been ploughed up by stranger bands
Since you and / were gone
The chestnut tree is dead John,
And what is saddcr now
The broken grapevine of our swing
Hangs on the with red bough;
| read our names upon the bark
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side
AS we had piled them there.
Beneath The grass grown bank, John,
looked for our old spring,
That dubbed down the alder path,
Three PAGES from the swing.
The rushes grow upon the brink
The pool is black and bare,
And not foot this many day,
1t seems, has trodden there.
| took the old blind road John,
That wandered up the hill;
'Tis darker than it used to be,
And seems so long and still;
The birds sing yet among the boughs
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not q voice of human kind
Where all our voices sung
! sit me on the fence. John,
That lies as in old time,
The same half panne in the path
We used so oft to climb
And thought how DER the bars of life
Our playmates had passed on.
And left me counting on this spot
The faces that are gone.

RING HER.-Somebody in the -1tlantic
Month1y, in discussing upon the skeleton
fashion of the day says:
"A woman in this rig hangs in her skirts
like clapper in bell, and never met one
without being tempted to take her by the
neck and ring her"
Speaking of the way women display their
arms and shoulders, skinny or otherwise,
and conceal their feet, ankles. and such, he
makes the following unheard-of and danger
ous revelations:
Now, woman has legs as well rs arms,
and why, if it be the custom, should not
one be seen as well as the other!"
Why are cashmere shawls like deaf p 'ope?

few thousand dollars, telling him it was
mere matter of forn--that he would not be
obliged to pay it &c The bishop complied,
and not being a person that gave any great
deal of atteni to temporal affairs, and not
overburdened with the ready" his note
having been passed to the hands of broth

who had kept watch on tie note, now goes
quietly and with much apparent SECRECY to a

benevolence heaming on his countenance,
informs him that the bishops note is wing
at the bank under protest. This is too bad
says he, "6at notdiaq mHst be said about L..
we must take up the note, and will head
the subscription with $50" The requisite
amount was soon raised, and the bishops
note paid. The iinancer made his bank
stock clear at rost of $50 only, and at
once took a position in the opinion of his
fellow members as pillar of the church.

The San francisco Times denies the con
stitutonaIity of the Fugitive Slave Law, and
is sorely displeased with the people Of the
Northern States for paving any attention to
it. We commend the following extract from
speech delivered by the celebrated Tom
Corwin to the special consideration Of the
editor of that paper. He can thus see how
he stands with the more sensible and conSer-
vatve of his own party. Corwin said:

in the face of such distinguished authority,

THE BRoDERICK PRoCEssIoN.-We fear

Such funeral demonstrations, being purely
scenic in their character depend wholly on
their numbers and the pomp Of their show
for the effect they produce. When whole
population joins in the parade, and thou
sands upon thousands gather, in solemn pro-
cession, to honor the memory Of departed
statesman, the display indicates strong
hold on the public heart, and heighens the
general estimate Of his services and his fame
But an attempt and failure, in such a de-
monstraion, reflect no credit either upon
the actors in the scene or the object Of its
intended honors.
