~ Very Drunh-A drunken man laid on
the wharf for an hour our two yesterday, in
the boiling hot sun. Those who saw the sight
ncYer saw human being more thoroughly
drunk. The pcrSpiration that came from the
Pores of his skin during the time he laid there,
would have made an able bodied man stone

could have been wrung from his carcass to
drown him in. We never saw man so steep

HuMBoLDT.-The Northern Californian,
which is published at Union, Humboldt coun-
ty, CAL, pays a tribute to the author OF
'Cosmos":
GAS an humble ehronicler Of the county
honored by his name, it is not for US to re-
capitulate his fame, eulogized by the great
and wise-loved and reverenced in the four
quarters of that sphere he had made his
study.
Let them erect TO heroes and statesmen
monuments ''enduring as brass Rather let
him rest quietly in the lap of the great moth
er whose mysteries were his; whose pulses
be had felt; whose deepest heart t-throbbings
he knew, and whose life lie had traced with
subtle mind and loving hand. Above his
grave the stars he had tracked into the faith
omless bounds Of space, viii keep watch and
ward. The south wind, whose shidden
chambers" he knew. and whose ''coming and
going" he had marked, will murmur aolian
symphonies above his mound; and the fow-
crs his hand tenderly gathered, and whose
brief life his wonderful mind had classed
and identified, side by side with the prime
val rocks-parts of one harmonious whole

MEN OF STRAw-It is an old and common
artifice with cuntroversialists to attribute
their own conclusions to their opponents,
ana TO make them responsible for differences
ana constructions which they deny. 1t
were only justice to state mans position in
MS own words, for there is such variety
ana SO many shadings of signification in
terms, that no man, but the author himself,
knows exactly (and perhaps even he does
not) the precise meaning he attaches to the
terms he uses; consequently, supposed
equivalents selected by another, may not
give his meaning at all. Thus it is that
much of the courage and toll of controver-
siallsts is wasted on men of straw. They
beat the air; they charge wind mills that
exist nowhere but in their heated brains.

The CHINESE QUEsTIoN.-It stands the
people of California in hand to have the
Chinese emigration checked; and in order to
do this it will be necessary to have heavy
tax levied Oh each Chinaman coming into
the country-a tax so high that if paid we
can have the satisfaction of knowing that
the State has received some remunela ion for
being afflicted with such disagreeable So
journers. We should endeavor to have the
views of our representatives ON this subject
fully known and according rs they are in
clined to suffer the present miserable state
of affairs to exist, should we support or op-
pose them We now have an opportunity
to ascertain the views of fhe candidates on

1t is not generally known that South Af-
rica is becoming an important wine country.
The Cape wines are chiefly exported to En-
gland, and increased attention to their man
utacture has given them place beside the
best continental wines. South African wine
at the present moment forms large proper
tion of that consumed in England and this
proportion is isconstantly increasing. For the
year 1858 the consumption of the United
Kingdom was 100000 gallons of sherry,
l,oS9,oo0 gallons of port, 1853, 900 gallons of
French and Rhenish, and 43O, 900 gallons of
South African wines. The quantity expor-
ted from the Cape annually has increased at
an almost marvellous rate In 1853 the
quantity exported was 271,76 gallons; in
1856, Gl6,749 gallons; and in 1857, 923, ,666
gallons. The total quantity produced in
the colony is now upwards of 5000, 900 GAL
Ions annually.

In reference to the recent critical war in
Marysvillc, the Home Journal thus pertinent
ly remarks:
"The idea that clergyman's literary or
rhetorical efforts, outside of his professional
duties, are exempt from criticism, is one
which we hold to be quite antedluvian. 1t
is now generally considered that whoever
enters the public arena, whether as orator,
philosopher, or poet, no matter how exalted
his station, or how sacred his profession,
fairly subjects himself to comparison with
all competitors, and may properly be criti-
cised like any ordinary mortal. Possibly
this may be all wrong, but it is clearly the
tendency of the age to forbid any man shield
ing himself behind his rank or position, and
to judge all performances, eff whatever char
acter, by their intrinsic merits, rather than
by the personal claims of the performers"

SATIRIcAL-The N. Y. Herald pokes fun at

The Herald says;
.It has remained for San Francisco, the
city of Vigilance Committees, to give lesson
in manners to the ladies of the Queens draw
ing room, and the heavy swells of the Pail
Nall clubs. What's the matter? Is San
francisco getting more moral (and there was
room for improvement, and is London soci-
ETY. coming down to the mining level? We

of some pretty cool things; but this piece of
prudery, from such source, strikes us as
being positively icy. Pretty soon we shall

Mexican greasers leaoing prayer meetings"

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT INSECTS. The diff
ferent kind of insects very far outnumber the
species in every class of the animal, vegetable
and mineral kingdoms. Professor Agassiz
says that lifetime would be necessary to
enumerate the various species of insects, and
describe their appearance. Meiger, German,
collected and described 600 species of flies,
which he collected in distance of ten miles
circumference. There have been collected
in Europe, 10000 species of insects preying
upon wheat.-In Berlin, two professors are
engaged in collecting cbservngand describ
ing insects and their habits, and already they
have published five large volumes upon the
insects which attack forest trees. An En-
glish etnomologist has stated that on an ay-
erage, there are six distinct insects to one
plant DR.. Harris thinks this proportion is
probably too great for our country, where
vast tracts are covered with forests and the
other original vegetable races still hold pos
session of the soil. There are above twelve
hundred Towering plants in Massachusetts,
and be thinks it will he within bounds to
estimate the species of insects that infcst
these plants al forty-eight thousand, or in
the proportion of four to each plant.

CoMMECIAL DoDGE.-Letters from Berlin
state that the Prussian and other German
shipowners are, in view of the war, despos-
ing of their vessels to naturalzed American
citizens who are on visit to Europe and in
whom they have confidence. They will then
be owned by American citizens, and will sail
under the Aneri al flag, and will, it is sup
posed, be exempt from seizure by any of the
balligerents. Thus these Europeans expect
to save heir vessel and ight. This change
OF ownership has been very extensive-so
general, indeed, that nearly all the vessels
heretofore owned by subjects of the German
ic powers are, or soon will be, owned by
natural;zed American citizens now tempor-
arily residing in those countries.-Bce.

PRIDE HUMBLED.-The Sacramento Register
records, that young lady, while promenad-
ionable style, and with an air of conscious
dignity, was suddenly humbled by sngu-
lar accident while walking rather rapidly
past some boxes that were standing upon the
sidewalk, her dress (Which was beautiful
barege) caught on nail, and in an instant
she was almost entirely ridden of the skirt,
to her utter dismay, and to the infinite amuse-
ment of several spectators. Her appearance
at that moment suggested the idea of wo-
man enclosed in a circular rail fence, and the
sight was certainly ludicrous, although SYM
patby for the fair one should have prevented

it might be something peculiar to Calfor-

frightened. 1t is doubtless well remembered

The st. Louis correspondent of the Stand
ard thus alludes to the great balloon project
Of Prof Wise:
Mr.. Wise's great balloon ascension from
ST. Lonis which is exciting no small interest
all over the country, will be no failure The
enormous machine or vessel in which this
aerial voyage is to be taken, has arrived in
this city. That it will 60 speedily and GER
tainly to its intended destination on the At
lantic coast, is, believe, with even its dis
tinguished protector, matter of speculation.
He is, however, very hopeful, as he thinks
he has discovered in the upper strata of the
atmosphere, current flowing uniformly to
the East. As this current is over two miles
high, or about as high as Mount Blanc, his
balloon, when it reaches it will, in this lati-
tude, and even in summer, be in the region
of perpetual congelation. He has, however,
prepared himself for cool reception, and
thinks it will he no Cislgreeable exchange

They rode by elm, they rode by oak,
They rode by church-y ard and then he spoke,
''Ny pretty maiden, if you'll agree
You shall always raInbie thro' life with me-,

But kicked the bald horse and away sbe snurrsd
The wo,er still followed behind the Jade
And enjoyed-kc IA wooer-the dust she made
Iney rode thro' moss and they rode thro' moor,
The gallant behind, and the lass before;
AT last they came to miry place.
And there the sad wooer gave mn tbe cbasa
