eOoKING PoTAToEs.-We have seen boiled pota-
oesfrom an untaught cook coming upon the tR-
BILE like Jumps of yellow wax-and the same ar
ttcie, the day after, under the directions ola
skillful mistress, appearing, in snowy balls of
powdery lightness. In the ore case, they were
thrown in their skins into water, and suffered to
soak or boil as the case might be .Gt, the cook
leisure, and after they were boiled. to stand in
the watetI till she was ready to peel them. In
the other case, the potatoes being first peeled,
were boiled as quickly as possible in salted wa
ter, which the moment they were done was
drained off, and then gently shaken for q
minuteor two over the fire, to dry tLem still
more thoroughly. We have never yet seen the
potato so depraved and given over to evil, that
could not be reclaimed by this mode of treat
ment. As to fried potatoes, who that remem-
bers the crisp, golden slices Of the French res-
taurant, thin as waters and light as snow-AakeS,
does not speak respectfully of them? What cous-
ip-ship with these have those coarse, greasy
masses of sliced potatoes, wholly soggy, and part

name of fried potatoes, Ia .America;-.Hrs.

OxE-srAMP mills are noticeable institution
in Owyhse. Nearly every house., cabin and
hole in the ground, occupied by human being,
has its one-stamp mill, in the shape of hand
mortar or quicksilver tank, and horn spoon to
pan ott or amalgamate in. There is no such
thing as estimating the amount of bullion ex-
tracted from Owyhee rock by this simple pro-
cess, but it must be immense. We are informed
that washerwoman up near the Orc Fino
mine, has erected a sort of mill with sweep
overheard net unlike an old-fashioned well appa-
ratus, with which she stamps enough out OF
groupings and such rock as is lying around
loose, as to make twice the wages that her hus-
band does who works by the day. That couple
struck it when they married. 1t is not every
woman, though, who would run a one-stamp
mill so successfully-eveni in Owyhee.-OTyhes

ghanies there is a spring, so small that single
OK could drain it dry on a summer day. hsteals
its unobtrusive way among the hills, till it
spreads cut in the beautiful Ohio. Thence it
stretches away a thousand miles, leaving on its
banks more than thousand villages and cities,
and many thousand cultivated farms. and bear;
ing on its bosom more than half thousand
steamboats, Then joining in the Mississippi, it
stretches away some twelve hundred miles more,
till IL falls into the great emblem of eternity
1t is one of the great tributaries of the ocean,
which, obedieut only to God, shall roll and roar
till the angel, with one foot on the sea and the
other on the land, shall lift up his hand to heay-

AFTER THE HARVEST.

The tlossOming Summer Il over,
The lIillsides no longer are red
With billowy ttretches OF clover.
No longer the vernal adorning
OF woodland and meadow is yet
Wilh deWdrOps impearling the morning.
The orchards no longer arc whitened
With petals snOw-tinted and fresh,
The frollcsome May time has frightened.
No longer the children pick berries
In pastures o'eppreRding the hills,
Nor crimson their faces with cherries.
No longer the harveSts, all golden,
With suubeams in merrisome mood.
The hearts Of the reapers embOldeu.
No longer the rivaling iushes
Ofsunsets empurpling the West
Gid apples with deepening blushes.
= No longer the woods with their banners
Deep-tiuted with yellow and red,
Build temples for warbling hOsannas.
The dead leaves above us are sighing,
Around in a wearisome rain
The dead leaves are itfully flying.
We SEQ in the garden the changes,
Heraldug winter to come,l
OUT father so wisely arranges.
The world in its hectic of beauty,
Betokens the: death of the year,
And whispers lesson Of duty.
1t whispers Of Time in It's fl ying,
Fast spreading the Winter OF life,
The sorrow and anguish Of dying.
1t whispers of fruit to be gathered
In grlnaries waiting above,
Ere all the wi Id tempests are weathered.
How wise is the Spring time Of gladness
And summer Of blO~SOmIng hopes,
To watch for the Autumn OF sadness
To SOW for harpest of glory,
Which, gathered, and garucred, shall b.ess
The winter so di cary and hUary,!
Thrice happy the. pilgrim who MEYER
Forgcls the great lesson Of TINS,
But lives tor the coming Forever!

We published last week the substance of
report of an Indian fight in Paradise Valley, in
which seventy Indians were killed, &c. Wo
have since learned that the fight took place near
Harvey Lake, between Il body Of California
troops and about one hundred and twenty-five
Indians. The soldiers found the Indians FORTH
fed on bill they surrounded the place, and
then procured some howitzers with which they
shelled the Indians awhile, and then made a
cavalry charge on the fort. In this charge If
teen soldiers are said to have BEEN killed, and
all the Indians slaughtered. Harney Lake is
located off north of west of Puebla, not great
distance from Fort Creek. Communication is
so irregular aud unreliable south and west of
here that it may be some time before we get the
correct account of the affiir.--OWyhee ApdLakeh

Ks,e HowariR the Former Mistress ot.LouIs
Napoleon-Hef Immense Obesity-Ber
Last Days and Death,
At the Chsteaps Beauregard, near Yer
sailles, lately died the once beautiful Kate
HoWard-heantifnl 40 lOnger-whOse fine
ly chiseled Grecian feature, magnificent fg-
ure and charms of manner in years gone BY,
swayed the mind Of Louis Napoleon, refugee
and special constable of London. Prema-
tureiy old 'at forty-tRo, so corPulent that
from fgursknd feature, destitute Of mental
sources of enjoyment, her last years formed
a strange contrast to the days of her youth
and beauty.
From the Emperor, her former lover, she
received every mark of favor and cOnsidera-
ton. On NapoleOn's marriage with the
Empress Eugenia the chateau aud domains
of Beauregard were settled upon his former
mistress, one Of the finest properties in the
environs OF Paris, built by Cardinal Furst-
enburg for the purpose Of giving artistic
tetes to Louis Quartorse. Millions were laid
out upon the internal arrangements OF the
chateau; river was turned from its course
to flow through the grounds, whole section
| of forest was purchased to cut down because
it impeded the view from the windows. EV-
cry blanGishment, every seduction OF sensu-
al and Intellectual taste was accumulated at
Beauregard; and yet, amid all this splendor,
Kate Howard (or, rather, Madame Trelawney
for she had married captain Of that name,) }
lived life of comparative misery, signing
g., tbo hIph more.
In her later years her corpulence (says the
London Court Journal increased to such
an extent that the last carriage made for her
was contrived to open entirely from back to
front, for the convenience of the iOgress OF
her massive form. The only joy Of her lat
ter days was the pursuit of vexatious law
suits, which amused her mind and kept up
a perpetual excitement. Against her hus-
baud, against her tradespeople, against her
lawyers themselves, she managed to carry
on legal war which had become the sole
enjoyment of her life.
At last she sent for the cure of Chesney-
lez. Versailles; in whose palace the sumptuous
domain of Beauregard is situated, and abb
jured the Protestant faith, in which she had
been brought up, to adopt that Of the RO-
man Church. But even this failed to give
relief, and afew days afterwards she expired
of what is called by doctors, disease of the
heart, but is well-knOwn by philosophers as
rear' : for the pasf, ennui of the weariness
