SMALL CREATURES.

Among the papers published in costly style by
the Smiths? ?nia, Izlstue, is one on the microscopic
plants and animals which live on and in the human
body 1t describes quite number of insects. The
animal which produces the disease called the itch is
illustrated by engraving half inch in diameter
which shows not only the ugly little fellows body
and legs but his very toes, although the animal
i;n.selfis entirely invisible to the naked eye. Wien

ANECDOTE OF OLD IRONSIDES.

The following is familiar to many of our readers,
but is well calculated to make the rising gener-
alton proud of the noble spirits who she'd so much
lustre tier cOuntrys name during the memora-
Bile war of 1872 with the then proud mistress of the
seas that it will bear republication at least
year, as long patriots are able to subdue con-
spirators
The most brilliant naval action of the last war was
undoubtedly that of the American frigate Constitu-
ton A l. commanded by Commodore Stewart when
she captured the two British corvettes' Cyane and
Ievant of greatly superior force, each of them being
equal the old fashioned thirtythree gunfrigates.
The handling oithe A m erican frgate was through
out scientific an und eAceptionable.
By no manoeuvcrins could either of the British
vessels obtain position to rake the Constitution
Shift their ground they would, Old lronsides was
between them, blazing away upon both vessels at
the same time. During the whole action, Stewart
instead of mounting the horseback, sat in novel
to observe the manHuvering of his antagonist. The
Cyane the first to strike to Brother Jonath an,
not unusual thing with British vessels during
that war. The first Lieutenant came in haste to
the Commodore to announce the fact.
The starooard ship has struck, sir said the
officer.
q knew, it sir" replied the Commodore. "The
battle is just half won.
''Shall | order tie band to strike up Yankee doc
de- sir!' inquired the lieutenant
Here the Commodore took huge pinch of snuff,
and then answered quickly.
Had not better Whip the other first, Sr?''
cay, ay, SIR" replied the lieutenant, taking the
hint, and went to his quarters.
In short time afterward, the Levant lowered the
cross of Old England to the stars and stripes, and
the battle was ended The lieutenant being some
what rebuked at his premature exultation upon the
surrender OF the first vessel rather shy of ap-
preaching his commander again but Stewart,
beckening to him, said with smile
Don't you think the hand had bstter strike Up
Yankee Doodle now, sir"
In an Instant the sprit-stirring strain was floating
on the breeze played as no other than yankee
band can play it. and the gallant shouted forth
their cheer of victory no other than Yankee
crew shout

THE SUPREME JUD0EsHIP.-The San Juan
Press, of Saturday last, in refetring.to the con-
templated resignation of Judge Baldwin, says
So far as we have been able to ascertain pub
lie opinion, after considerable inquiry, the Sc
tlection of Mr.. Mcconnell to fill the vacant seat,
would be entirely acceptable to the people of
the Northern portion of the State, which is be-
vond all question, entitled to the appointment.
The mining interests an extensive one. Mr..
Mcconnell has for several years practiced as a
LAWYER before the Courts III which this class of
cases was more particularly involved. lie is
familiar not only with the local regulations of
the miners, but the laws peculiarly applicable
in the adjudication of mining suits, and would
have the advantage Of being from a.portion of
the State which furnishes large amount of
business annually to be finally disposed of be-
fore the Supreme Tribunal. In the list of those
named as worthy to succeed Judge Baldwin, we
find no man more capable than John II. Me-
Connel. He ranks among the very first law
yers of California. His mind is clear and Wig
orous. He has been hard student, and in a
constitutional argument, has certainly no su-
perior on the Pacific coast. He arrives at log
ical conclusions from course of sound and
rational argument. In a legal, or even polit-
cal argument, he is never without preparation.
Being a deep thinker, he is always profound
and ready reasoner-qualities eminently re-
quired in Judge, and which but few of those
spoken of for this place, possess in any COM
parable degree. Laying aside all considera-
tions of personal or political nature, and re-
8arding Mr.. Mcconnell exclusively in the light
of one whose spotless integrity and compre-
hensivc legal attainments entitle him TO the
appointment, we have no hesitation in saying,
that by comforting 1t upon him, Gov, Downey
would give very general satisfaction to the peo-
pie of the Northern mining counties, and Sc
cure the services of one of the very ablest gen.
tlemen for the position in the State.

ANoTHER INDIAN MAssAcRE.-Late Orc
gon papers contain the following letter, written
by Byron N. Dawes, in charge of the Umatira
Reservation, and dated at'that point, Oct 3d.
On yesterday two brothers, named Keith.
arrived here, reporting that the train to which
they belonged had been attacked by the Sho-
shones, or Bannock tribe of Indians; that
large number of immigrants had been killed,
and the remainder driven away from their
wagons and scattered. The men arrived here
much exhausted. subsisting on some dried horse
meat for twenty-one days. The names of the
murdered are as follows: j. Myers, William
Auttly, Lewis Lawson, Justin Creese, Charles
Kersner, Elijah Otter, his wife, three daughters
and one son. When the Brothers Keith left
the train there were alive, JOS Myers, wife and
five children, A. McNorman, wife and five chill
dren, Daniel Chase, wife and three children,
Samuel Gleason, Charles Jeffy, Mr.. Munson.
and six. children of Elijah Otter. When1ast
heard from they had nothing to eat have
just started some provisions to their assis-
tonce, and sincerely hope it will arrive in time
to save them from starvation. The attack was
made between Salmon Falls and Fort Boise.
# yet alive my supplies. will meet them on
Burnt river or Goose creek.

THE ANAHEIM VINEYARD.-This: IS a vine
yard in Los Angeles county, about twenty-five
miles from Los Angeles. and some thirty-four
miles from the seacoast. 1t contains, as we
learn from the Alta, ,l6S acres Of land, divided
into fifty twenty acre lots, and sixty town lots.
Each twenty acre lot contains eight acres of
grape vines, planted in the year 1857, with wa
ter bitches running through for the purpose of
irrigation. 1t was laid out by company of
fifty membcrs-the land cost two dollars an
acre, and the cost to each for an outside orring
fence and several inside fences-his town lot of
a little over two acres, and his vineyard of
twenty acres, with eight acres in vines, now
three years old, amounts to about 81 800. 1t
is said that an acre of'good land, with fou-''ear
old, or bearing vines upon it, is worth s., 70,
SO that the investment in Anaheim has bee 4
profitable one.

AN AFFECTING SCENE AT SAN QUENTIN
The Marin correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Cali has the following:
We will not attempt to fully describe scene
which was witnessed shortly after we entered.
Among the passengers on the boat was an eld-
erly lady, dressed in black, accompanied by an
interesting girl of tender years. This lady, on
entering the prison, rushed wildly into the arms
of young man, whom she caressed tenderly
and clung to with fondness such as could on.
ly belong to a mother. The girl, too, wept and
seemed inconsolable. We turned away, deeply
affected, and were told that this old lady was
the mother and the girl the sister of the man
whom they embraced, and that he had been
sentenced for life for murder. The mother, in
her distant home in the East, had heard Of the
misfortune of her son, and at once set out to
visit aud condole him. She arrived on the
Age, and seized the earliest opportunity Of vis-
iting him.

SAN BERNARDINo.-The San Bernardino
Herald of the 9th ult., contains the following
The Douglas Club completed their organiza-
ton on Saturday evening, by adopting consti-
tuition and electing permanent officers. The
officers of the Club are ]. Judson Ames, Pres
ident; Thomas Dickey and Alex. Kier, Vice
Presidents; T. ]. NJ. Hoge, Recording Secre-
tary; II. C. Rolfe, Corresponding Secretary;
]. Morgan, Sergeant at Arms. After the or
ganization was completed, the meeting was adj
dressed at length by II. c. Rohe, Esq, and II.
NJ. Willis, Esq, upon the national questions
now at issue. 1t was the best attended and
most enthusiastic political meeting yet held in
this place during the present campaign.

PoIsoNRD.-The Solano Herald says that
Mr.. Philip Palmer, living a few miles from Sui
sun, was seriously poisoned few days since.
by opening to examine the dead body of COW
which had died, as is supposed, from the dis
ease known as murrain. He found the melt
mass of black, corrupted matter, some of which
entered slight scratch. on his hand, from
which he nearly lost his life. We understand
he is recovering, though his arms were nearly
rotten from the effects of the virus thus com
muncated.

IMMIGRATIoN.-The ridge road between this
point and Moore's Flat, says the San Juan
Press, presents the spectacle, at frequent inter-
walls, of numerous families encamped at springs,
wells and running brooks, which compose a
portion of the incoming emigration. Two of
these families have located about mile and a
half east of North San Juan, five or six at Ar
nolds Ranch, and others, perhapsin the remote
or immediate nsighborhood. They arrived
across the Sierras via the Henness Pass, and
made detour from the turnpike, which brought
them down an excellent mountain road into
the beautiful region of country designated.

A SWIMMING FEAT.-The Contra Costa Ga
zette, of the Goth inst, chronicles the follow
ing
Sometime last week sailor belonging to an
English fnan-of-war lying at Mare Island, de-
serted from the vessel and swan the straits to
the Contra Costa side in the night. The width
OF the straits where this feat was performed is
not less than two miles. The sailor applied to
one of our citizens for employment, and on be-
ing questioned he told the story of his deser-
ton, and expressed determination to die
rather than be captured and taken back to the
ship.

VESSEL SuNK.-The Stockton Republican
says, that as the steamer Helen Hensley was
coming up the San Joaquin on Thursday morn
ing, when about sixteen miles below Stockton.
ran into the schooner Emily Howard, which
was crossing the river in tacking. The schoon-
er was struck square amidships and sunk in
about two minutes in twelve feet of water. She
was loaded with fourteen hundred sacks of
wheat and was bound for San Francisco. It is
thought the vessel can be raised

NATURAL PHENoMENoN-The Los An
geles Star says that the Sulphur springs at Te-
mesca have undergone change Of late, which
taken in connection with the disappearance of
other springs in that vicinity, would seem to
indicate some subteranean disturbance. The
great spring used for bathing, has become much
hotter, with greatly increased volume, while
a small spring, few yards distant, has not on
ly increased, but becomes occasionally hot; it
being formerly cold.
The Nevada Democrat., 1860-10-23

INsULTED H1M.-The Calaveras Chronicle
relates that in a wayside inn on the Calaveras
road was a buxom lass to whom the landlord
owed four months wages. One night lately,
her beau was "setting up" with her, when the
landlady took away the candle. They could
have codrted in the dark, but the yonng man
looked upon # as an insult instead Of favor,
called out the landlord, whipped him, made him
pay the girl her wages, and then left.

CoNvIcTBD.-The notorious Jim Buck, ar
rested on charge of stealing mules while, at

fore, without the. jurisdiction of California
Courts.
