The RISING OF THE AFRTE.-A good old
story always bears a new put lication. Few
are better than that in the Arabian Nights,
Of the fishermen who netted from the deep
sea "a bottle of brass from which, when
opened, flew tremendous evil Afrite,
whose nostrils were as trumpes his eyes
like lamps, and he had disheveled hair He
had been sealed up by solomon.
Years ago the wisdom Of America sealed
up horrible Afiite-the devil of dissentou
and anarchy-and threw it into the ocean of
the future. The fishers in troubled waters
the Yanceys, Keitts and Toombses of our
day, have found the bottle They have
opened it
LA what tremendous fend is it that burst
madly out? Furious aud devilish, he threat
ems ruin-death The fierce Alrite-the
awful Discord.
The fishermen Of the old story had the wit
however to coniure the Afrite back into the
bottle. Have we the wisdom to do IL? Can
our fishermen find the means of wiling him
again into his old prison? Oh! let them
haste, for if ever there was time OF storm
and pressure as the old knights called the
day of the bitter threat, it is now i'dHity
Fair.

AN INCIDENT AT WAsulNGToN-An eye wit
ness relates that few days since, in public
parlor of one of the principal hotels in that
city, crowd of excited Southerners were dis
cussing the merits of the various modes of
compromise, and among others that of Vir-
ginia's method of sending Commissioners to
Washington, and to the seeding States, when
a gentleman, who had till then quietly lis
tened to the discussion, stepped forward and
urged that there was one State which had a
superior claim to settle all disputes among
sister States. That State was Kentucky
G'Three cheers for Kentucky" given with a
will. The speaker continued: "She has also
the material that will ultimately and forever
settle this matter, never again to occur" lie
was again app,auded, and continued "The
material | allude to, gentlemen, is Kentucky

present felt the full force, and probably the
justice of the remarks and instead of threats
quietly dispersed.-N Y Com. Adv.

JuLIUs' Use OF THE BATH TuD-Julius, a
Western darkey, having landed at Chicago,
saw an advertisement notifying those who
wished to be clean that they might get a good
bath for quarter and thought it would be a
good idea to ask the use of them of anothe er
darkey, who said baths were used by white
folks to wash in
Accordingly Julius started with a bundle
under lis arm. and being shown into bath
room, was left to his ablutions
Considerable time elapsed and Julius did
not come FORTH and after waiting for about
an hour, the keeper OF the baths went to the
door and screamed out:

"P'taps an hour TO an hour an a half"
coolly answered Julius.
With that the man burst into the room,
and there all around was the darkey's fresh
ly washed clothing hanging up to dry; but
not noticing it just then, he remarked:
See here, you just clear out at once you
have been in over two hours"
Look "A here said Julius, in an enraeed
manner, pointing to his drying clothes, which

to see you wash and hang out two dozen
pieces in less time than I've been at it !"
In another minute julius was landed in the

VINE CULTURE IN TIE MouNrMNs-The
Transcript says:
The experience of eur mountain vine cul-
turists has abundantly proved that the vine
possesses the rare faculty of laughing the
most killing frost to scorn, by clothing itself
in fresh suit of prolific blooms. The exotic
fruits thus far cultivated in the mountains of
California, are noted for their deliciousncss ;
but none of them, except the grape, can iu-
sure the culturist against the malevolencc OF
Jack Frost
The hill slopes, thanks to the water bitches
which the gold-mners have caused to tray
erse them so abundantly, can be irrigated at
pleasure. Some contend that the northern
sides Of the hills are better adapted to the
grape than the southern; though a great ma
ny sensible vinedressers regard this as a mere
sectional prejudice having no better warrant
than the northern and southern imbroglio
which has SO terribly shaken the great Amer
lean Republic The grape owing to its i'm
munity from frost, is content with any side
of hill where human care or caprice may
plant it: and, like genuine American paul
OF knows no north, no south, no east and no
west.
There are no veXatious Mexican grants to
Interfere with land locators in the mountains.
The vindre-ser can appropriate his hill slope
a tpleasure and make fortune off it, long
before the Government can legally demand
payment for it, Let our hill slopes then be
clothed in the rich luXurance of the vine
And while we think Of it, let us hint that
now, or during this month Of March, is the
very time in which the vine ought to be
planted.

To Washington.

While treason rings on every passing gale,
And traitors 'gainst their country madly rail.
lis fit that thus we celebrate this dav,
In hope that anger will soon pass away
In hope that peace will bless us soon again,
And soften hate and Danish every pain.
But should the spirit of our Chief appear,
And, on our Union gaze, with eyes of fear,
Aud see the country that his followers freed
Once bound together by a sacred creed,
His noble heart would suffer untold woe
To see his country ruined by no foe
Born on soil meath other climes and skies,
But brother 'gainst his brother man arise
III.
Alas, why should this revolution reign,
To raise the fearful war-cry once again?
Should other powers strive to gain our land,
Them arm for freedom and our rights to stand;
Then fight together our loved land to save,
Protect it for twas sacred hands that gave,
But never fight TO sever this fair land
And praise dsunion's ever bloody hand.
Great God protect us in this awful hour;
Dispel the clouds that DER our country lower,
And make his bright example TO our view
Recall our duty to what's right and true
Make every man who's called Columbia's son
Rival the deeds OF noble Washington
Forget there's such thing as North aud South,
But cry our Union with a willing mou h,
And swear to rally meath Union cry,
The star gemmcd Banner ever wave on high
w.
And Washington name We'll reverence ever,
Though Liberty fall and States may sever.
He strove for freedom with generous zeal,
No lack of courage his deeds reveal
And when we see that starry banner wave,
His names the watchword to lead the brave
The thought of him our fathers cherished,
1T gave a nerve to resolute hands.
Our Constitution they sign, tho they perished,
And by it we boast of our homes and our lands.
vi.
Our lands greatest patriot! sweetly repose
In thy grave, where with tears thou vast lain,
And be not disturbed by our country great woes
That on its bright name casts stain.

Ahen ie' 10 ui0 0OOiiS' 'ii"h scNct the ChlOH--
Before it is done let us sleep meath the sod
For what is life worth without country or freedom
Deprived ofa blessing bestowed by our God
Will
Then let us all VOW his example we'll follow,
That every act of his viruous life hollow
Wen engrave on our hearts with a vow that's no
TO think of our Chieftain in midst of this strife,
Then up with our Banner and swear to defend it
'Ganst traitors and madmen, 'gainst every foe;
And take for example the Chiettain we honor,
Ills spirit will bless us wherever we go.

OUGHT TO DE PuYI~nED The San Francisco
Evening journal says it is informed as fol-
lows:
That a "Dutchman" (name unknown), was
breakinga horse to dray, with an assistant
the other evening, on Folsom street, just be-
yond Fifth. The animal, ms is generally the
case, was very baully, whereupon the asss-
tant took the butt end Of his whip ami beat
him over the head until he actually broke IA
hole in his skull, and the beast fen down
dead. There was large crowd gathered
around and Chief Burke, who happened to
be passing by asked what was the matter,
and was told they were breaking in a horse,
and the Chief not suspectiug anything wrong
rode away Our informant further states
that after the animal lay dead, tAe~-rIan still
continued for some time to~ihock him over
the head. We hope the Police will look into
this matter, and ifthes>hnd the statement to
be correct, that they will find the offending
parties and arrest them. Since writing the
above, weare informed by Chief Burke that
he has the matter in hand, and it will be in
yestgaled.

GRASS VALLEY SILVER MINEs.-Ths dis
trict of country is situated on the south side
of w off creek and about two and half miles
IN direct line from the town of Grass Val
ley and directly at the southern base of Os-
born lill. But little prospecting has here
tofore been done in this neighborhood on
account of the small yield of the quartz. and
the low value Of tire gold which is obtained.
The original discovery, or what IS now
known as the jenkins Lead" has been work
cd as gold mine for some five or six years.
1t Is situated directly along the banks of
Rattlesnake creek, and has been mostly
worked out above the water level. As the
miners descended on the vein, the indications
of silver became more and more apparent.
until it was determined to obtain careful
assay. and learn what it really was worth -
1t Is said that native silA0r has been found in
the vein heretofore, but the workmen were
una ware of its nature and value The result
of the assay quite astonished the proprietors,
and being whispered about quietly, several
of the friends of the original discovery parties
formed new company and secured 200O
feet as the southern extension, under the
name of the "Union Company" They have
been sinking for some time, and we UNDER
stand struck indications of the lead on Tues
day last. Their line commences only few
feet from the shaft where the Jenkins Com
pany find their richest ore; hence it is but
reasonable to conclude that their ground will
prove equally valuable with the original dis
covery.--Grass Valley Ndtjoaa{

He was President,
Who always did the thing he said
And said the thing he meant.
A proclamation he did make,
And stuffed it we'll with threats,
And put in pluck enough to stop
The bluSter of two Rhetts.

And all the South beside
And never tried that game again,
Til Andrew Jackson died
