PAT AND THE JFDoE-Shasta, California,
being the head of 'WohRw' navigation, the hotels
In that town were full to overlooking, when
Judge b arrived and asked the landlord
for his room. The landlord greatly regretted
the fact, 'there was hut one opportunity even to
sleep under his roof, and that in n double bed
already occupied by son of the Emerald Isle
IA miner from the neighboring county, who
was well acquainted with Judge il by
reputation The Judge making q virtue Of
necessity, agreed to sleep with Pat for the night
and was shown Into the room by Honiiaee, who
walked Pat and told him who was to be his bed
fellow. Pat was agreed. The landlord retired,
and theJudge commenced the double process OF
undressing and reminding Pat of the honor of
which he was about to be the recipient, at the

Occasional" who writes from Washington
for the Philadelphia Press, thus alludes to the
conduct Of a portion of the demoeratic Senators
in Congress,-those from Delaware included
who, while they are loud in their cries for
"comprOmise and conoessiou," refuse to do JUS |
tice to tho people of Kansas, upon no other
ground than that they are Republican in their
political sentiments. Concession with them is
capital thing when ii will reduce and weaken the
Republican party but when it has u tendency
to strengthen il, not only is concession lost sight
Of, but the simplest acts Of justice are denied or
withheld. Notwithstanding all this there are
republicans in Congress who still cry out COM
promise, compromise.
"straagely enough, thu very men who complaining

DrLAwARr.-rhe Boston Daily Adoertssr Of
the 18th, contains extracts from a letter written
as it says "by wealthy and influential gentle
man Of Delaware" which breathes the true spi-
rit of patriotic devotion to the Union, and at
tachment to the Republican party of the coun-
try. "old as am" Gays he, al am ready to
shoulder my musket if need be, although, as
you sec, my hand has grown remulous." And

THE ROYAL FAMILY AS poMEsTIcs

At the seaside residence of Queen Victoria, in
the Isle OF Wight, large portion of the pleasure
grounds is appropriated to the young Prince and
Prncessea, who have each flower and o vege-
table garden, greenhouses, lighthouses and
forciDg-frames, nurseries, tool houses and even
carpenters shop. Here the royal children
pass hours of their time. Each is supplied with
II set Of tools, marked with the name of the own
or and here they work with the enthusiasm of
an amateur and the seal of an Anglo Saxon
There is no branch of gardening in which the
royal children are not du (di!. Moreover, on this
juvenile property is building the ground floor
of which is fitted up as Kitchen with pantres,
Closets dairy, larders-all complete in their
arrangements aud here may be seen the young
Princesses, arrayed Ia cHslaiere, hJured to the
elbows, deep in the mysteries of pastry-making,
like rosy New England girl. Cooking the vege-
tables from their own gardens, preserving, pick
ling, baking sometimes to partake among them
selves, or to distribute to the poor of the
neghborhoOd, the results of their handworB
The Queen il determined that nothing shall re-
main unlearned by her children; nor are the
young people ever happier than during their
sojOurn ut Osborne. Over the domestic estab-
lishment is a museum of natural history, form

arranged by themselves. Here the most exalted
and purifying tastes are cultivated. Here ma
ture, common to us all, is studied and admired
while, beyond this, capabilily OF entering into
the condition of thepeOpe, and sympathy for
their labors, is acquired by practical knowledge
of what labor Isl and though we need scarcely
suppose that the royal children wenry them
selves as those who toll by the swent Of their
brow, yet, even in their moderate digging and
working, they must learu the better to appre-
ciate the result OF labor in the Injuries sur
