EXPORTS OF CALrFoRNIA.-The exports of
California by sea for the first nine months
OF this year, as compared with the CORES,
ponding period of 1868, shows gains of
Sl32, 900 in wheat, $40, 900 in barley, S212,-
900 in wine, S22, 900 in brandy, $40, 900 In
wool, $50, 900 in hides, $50, 900 in salmon,
and 500, 600 in furs; and losses OF $500, 900
in quicksilver, $500. 600 in flour, $1,000
in copper ore, and 1872, 900 in borax.
The amount Of flour was nearly as
great this year as last, but the value
per barrel is considerably less. All the
chief quicksilver mines of California have
been unfortunate this year, the bodies of
ore found being small and poor in quality.
The expectation last year was ~forty-three
thousand TASKS. This year it will not ex-
eeed t~wenty-eight thousand. The low price
Of copper has nearly stopped the exporta
ton of California ores; and the borax
works have been idle now for two years, in
consequence of the great rise OF Borax
Lake, which had no outlet during the win
ters Of 1868. The solution of borax in
the lake was 80 thinned or diluted with
water hat the cost of extraction wal in.
creased, and som of the works were
flooded.

A LITTLE GmL AND THR KING. The
King of Prussia, while visiting n village In
his land was welcomed by the school chill

made a speech for them, he thanked them.
Then taking an orange from a plate, he
asked: 10 what kingdom does this be-

"The vegetable kingdom, sire, replieda
little girl.
The King took a gold coin from hispock-
ct, and holding it up asked, "And TO what
kingdom does this belong2"
80 tho mineral kingdom" said the
girl.
'And to what kingdom dc 1 belong,

The little girl oolored deeply, for she did
not like to say "the animal kingdom" as
he thought she would, lest his majesty be
offended. Just then il flashed into her
mind that "God made man in His own inn
age, and looking up with a Frightening
eye, she said: ITO Gods kingdom, SIRE

The QUESTION OF RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
IN SoHooLs.-The Catholic Telegraph of
the 18th contains the following: 'From
the apostolic theory that the state had au-
thority 10 tax for education separated from
all religious influence, journalistic sup
porters of schools yeered to the advocacy
of religious instruction. IL wa n transit
ton that brought them into direct antag-
onism with the law, 10 sustain a school
system that tramples upon the rights of
Catholics. That blindness has driven these
defenders OF common schools TO the second
defeat. The first chapter in this
school controversy IL now closed. II ends
with the triumph of law. The second chap
ter will open with an agitation against the
law itself, in the name Of justice and the
right that both Protestants and Catholics
have to positive religious instruction in sep
arate schools. If the school laws be modi-
fled TO secure n denominational educati IN
for all, Catholics will cheerfully pay their
portion Of the school fund. II this wise
amendment cannot DO made, taxation for
school purposes must cease. Now that the
Bible has been excluded from the schools,
If Professed Protestants have been sincere
in all that they have said in its favor, they
must agree with Catholics i'm the second
Issue of this question. Consistency will
make them our friends in the future"

Serenade Of Gov. HOffman-His Re
marks In Response.

ALBANY, Nov. Gov. Hoffman, last
night, in the course Of his speech in re-
sponse to a serenade by the J~acksonians.
said: I notice that most of the radical pa
pers in Albany and New York are asking
what will thoy do with it-that is, with the
victory2 lam hardly disposed 10 tell them
Just yet, 1 prefer to give them q little tim g
to digest the returns, and when theyare full
ly digested, we propose TO give them some
information as TO what we will do with il,
In my observations / have found that kuowl-
edge suddenly acquired is never very profit
able, but L viii tell them in general terms
n or two things we propose TO do. We
propose TO make the legislature Of the state
of New York honest; and that is what they
have not done in some time. We propose
TO uso tho legislatures for the purpose of
promoting the interests of the mass Of the
people and not the interests OF the few,
which the radicals have not done in q long
time. The Evening Journal has stated that
for many years there hnve been n few men
in the republican legislature who could be
bought. We will show them that ina demo-
cratic legislature there will DO nom of that
kind. We propose 10 give TO the people of
the state ofNew York all over, the right Of
self-government. We propose TO abolish
such laws as infringe upon rights of locali-
ties, and secure to them the right to govern
themselves. We will not abolish such laws,
and give the people something worse: but
will give them better laws. We propose to
make the state Of New York and the gov
eminent in all its branches thoroughly
democratic. 1 am aware Of the RESPONSE
bilities this victory imposes upon me, as
the executive Of this state. / realize their
magnitude, and viii not say l have no fear
Of them, but by the help OF the people and
their representatives, and all the good
counsel can get, 1 hope in my sphere TO
so discharge my duties that the people will
approve my action.

Report OF the Commissioner ofInternal
Revenue.

In this important Report, it will be
cen that in the fiscal year ending.
June 80, 1868, thesum of one hundred
and ninety-one million, dollars was
collected from internal revenue, the
expenses of collectiog which, was FIVE
per cent. The heavy items in this
account are the taxes paid on the 10.
diligence of popular appetite. The
amount received, for instance, from
the tax on chewing and smoking
tobacco was, in round numbers, fifteen
million dollars. Add to this the cost
of production and dealers profits,
which is estimated Ia FIVE times more
than the reveFue tax, amounting to
seventy-hve million dollars. All the
railroads paid together less than seven
millions, the Insurance companies less
than two millions and the telegraph
and express companies not a million
between them, so that chewing and
smoking tobacco-our small vices, as
they are called-are really digger
things'' in the Commissioners report
than all railroads, telegraphs or ex-
press and insurance companies in the
United States taken together. The
number Of cigars taxed was six
hundred millions. It is calculated as
many more T used through SNUG
CLING, making a grand total yearly
expenditure in the United States of
one hundred and fifty million dollars
for tobacco alone.
Will not some Philanthropist dis
cover some remedy for this enormous
and useless waste of money? Only
think of it, one hundred and fifty
million dollars annually thrown awayl
This would soon liquidate our national
debt. The question recurs, where
will an aatidot5 be found for this
greatest of evils --NetU Pork Herald

"His purse or his life" Mr.. PRESCOTT,
as soon as possible disengaged himself
from the horse blanket|, and told the
WOuld-be rObber to come and get his
