AN EScLIsHMAN. - The only objection
urged BY the AboIilionsts to the election of
Judge Hartley is that he was born an Eng
lshman. BY constantly paradi"g this before
the public, it is expected to influence Irish
votes. We see by the Stockton independent
that "it is said he will be opposed by $4,000
Fenians said to be enrolled in this State"
Take not the halierng JUNCTION to your soul.
The Fenians are liberty y'loving patriotic men.
They hold no one man responsible for the
sins of nation. Some of the warmest
friends of Ireland have been Englishmen.
Judge Hartley is an American citizen and a
Democrat, and, as Democrat, is the friend
of the Irish. These men can have no affia
ton with the fanalical Abolilionists who
would degrade them below the negro. A
plank in their platform is that the negro
must vote to put down the Irish Catholics
and Southern Democrats. We know some.
thing about the Fenians and are safe in af-
firming that nineteen>twentieths of them
will vote for Judge Hartley.

Miners LIcENsE.-During the last session
of Congress the Revenue law was amended,
and among other things provision was ad
ded for the collection of licenses from nil
ners. As there appears to be considerable
misunderstanding in regard to the matter we
give the law providing for the payment Of
such license, which reads as follows:
Miners shall pay for each and every IL
cense the sum of ten dollars. Every person
firm or company who shall employ others in
the business of mining for coal, gold. silver,
lead, copper, iron, zinc. speI,er or other min.
erals, not having taken out a license as a
manufacturer, and no other, shall be regarh-
ed as miner under this act. Provided,
That this does not apply to any miner whose
receipts from his mine shall not exceed an
nually one thousand dollars"
The law exempts all miners who do not
take out more than $1,000 per annum, all
who have paid licenses as manufacturers, and
all who do not employ Others in mining for
them. One license is sufficient for firm or
company engaged in mining.

A Soiree of Lions.

In the adult state there exists four times
as many lonesses as lions, although in youth,
the balance of the sexes is pretty nearly
equal. The disturbance Of the equilibrium
may be attributed to the furious battles be.
tween the males, at the close of which one
of the rivals is almost always lett for dead;
sometimes both. In fact, the most efficient
exterminators OF lions are the lionesses.-
These ladies' are fond Of holding soirees, at
which every gentleman present is expected
to fght for his love and his life; the survivor
to enjoy the honors of the evening in undis-
turbed tranquility. The invitation given is
a passionate roar, which attracts all the lions
in the neighborhood. These assemblies are,
sometimes, even held by day. While fol.
lowing some foo, prints, at about eleven in
the morning, NJ. Chassaing reached an emin'
ence covered with thick hrushwood. In this
retreat he suddenly caught sight of two mag.
nifrent lionesses and three lions, one Of
whom was monslrous. This last followed
one of the ionesses step by step, keeping his
rival at a respectful distance; these mani
tested their imporent rage by short, snap.
pish, subdued cries. The happy sultan
swept round his favorile in rapid circlings,
seeming proudly to enjoy his conquest NJ.
Chassang was about considering whether he
might not venture to disturb the party and
was trying to get nearer the amorous couple,
when, TO his as,onisbment, he perceived a
little further off, four other lions, from two
or three years of age, who, doubling their
own strength, kept their distance from the
lionesses, not daring TO venture nearer. lie
had the good luck to gaze on this strange
toJieau ripont for several minutes. Deeming
it folly to quarrel with the assembled nine,
he quietly and pruden'ly retired from the
spot. All the Year Round

1t seems that Ex-Governor Harris made an absurd
blunder in supposing that he had had an interview
with the Emperor and Empress of Mexico at the
imperial palace-"the far famed halls of the Monte
zumas"-as asserted in his recent letter. The man
he at the palace according to his own statement
was obliged to employ lady as interpreter; but
the following note from William A. Buffum Esq,
formerly Consul of the United States at Trieste who
knew the Emperor abroad, establishes the fact that
Macmillan speaks English, as he does the other
modern languages, perfectly well, and could not,

New York, Dec g. 1866.
The letter of Isham G. Harris ex Governor of Ten
nessee, giving an account of his interview with the
Emperor and Empress of Mexico which has attracted
so much attentions contains evidence that Mr.. Harris
that he succeeded in escaping the vigilance of the
Federals and, after long and toilsome journey in
company with his Confederates. reached the city of
Mexico where he very cordially received by the
Emperor Macmillan and the Empress Charlotte.
and that at this audience the Empress, whom he ac-
knowledges to be clever woman, acted as interpre-
ter. Respecting this statement 1t Is only necessary
to remark that the Emperor speaks English flu
emily anybody, and certainly as well as Harris,
and he could therefore, have possible use for the
services of interpreter unless Harris on that ac
casion spoke Choctaw.
