YoUNG FENN.-At the time of the
selection of young Fem, of Lewis
ton, by Judge Shafer, to a Cadetship,
we intended to record our approval
of the appointment, but it passed
out of mind and was neglected.
Having made the acquaintance Of the
hey last summer, and heard from
his own mouth that he was his moth
er's boy, and possessed OF none OF,
his fathers vices and heretical opin-
ions, we said then, and still be-
lieve, as we told Old Steve at the
time, g II that boy is kept away
from the Old Man, and brought up
in the nurture and admonition OF
his excellent Black Republican
mother, he will make good man.
In going away to West Point oil
course he is deprived of his mother s
rcounsel, morally, socially and po-
| litically, but, on the other hand, he
escapes the example and false teach
ines of his father, at an age when
boys are prone to consider it manly
to forsake the mother and ape the
foilies of the father, which in many
instances leads to the most disast-
rous consequences. Take it all in
all. though the motive that led to
this appointment may not have COM
pretended the full scope and mag
nificence of the scheme as now de-
veloped, the Judge has not lived in
vain :and in after time, when he shall
have laid aside the cares of State,
he can look back and say, as do the
nreachers when a soul is brought
home by conversion to the church,
81 have. as it were, ,snatched brand
from the burning, and shall die hap
pier for having performed a good
work.
1t is no part OF our purpose, in
making these reflections, to leave
the inference that Old Steve is not q
iolly, good natured and funny old
rooster. and very comp anionable
felloy-traveler in the mountains
we simply say the boy is in luck to
get away, and are willing to intro
duce experts in the various lines OF
Objectionable conduct; for instance
if any shall say Fem is not the
greatest blackguard in America, we
submit the proposition to O'Mesra'
who knows, and abide bis decision,
etc AS to those who would dis
mite his being a Yankee secession
ist. Mrs. Fem would be good ref
erence, but we will not particularlze
as il would involve the publication
of such a book of follies that il
would exhaust space and patience.

san FRANCISCO. July u. Is6!

cial party have this morning been
waited upon by special messenger
from White Pine, with an invitation
to visit that silver paradise, and a
number have agreed TO snuff the
breezes of Pogonip. Their visit
will have good results-th though not
suddenly startling. 1t seems the
special delight of the press reporters
to record all expressions OF admira-
ton which escape from the lips OF
the guests, and then make them ap-
pear as ponderous evidence in favor
of the State and city, while in fact
under the treatment given them they
could not help being gratifed and
so expressing themselves. The man
who needs the assurance of strang-
ers that California will be great
and delightful State and San Fran
cisco large and wealthy city should
leave at once and permanently
Guests so princely entertained could
but be happy, and in return bestow
deserved praise and little fiattery,
the latter being properly pardonable
but not worthy of SO much note and
repetition.
At banquet given them by the
city merchants night before last at
the Lick House, Governor Haight
and several Cinnamon participated.
The Governors speech was light
and amusing and the celestials'w were
weighty and sensible tits asserted
that Casserly favored the strangers
with his august and sage presence I'M
til he found out the makeup OF the
party, when he left abruptly fearing
he might learn something to his hu-
initiation. At the opening of the
China steamer line, Senator Z. Ira
ternized gushingly with Cinnamon,
but Democratic pressure has intimi-
dated him. He must go South and
learn a little philosophy from former
Damocratic rebels and slave lords.
Look out for reduced express
charges ere long. A new company
of much wealth has recently been
organized, and will probably open
soon. 1t is reported that the old
American Theater and lot, on San
some street, has been purchased
where the company intend to erect
an iron building, and also that the
Bank of California and other heavy
corporations are hackers of the new
concern. An item of import in this
behalf, is the present reduction o
II cents per b on fast freight to Flr
ginia by W., F. & Co.
F. D. Skiff, special artist for Har
per and Leslie, with two assistants
recently arrived in this city. Theil

Il LONDON, April 30.-The Mayor of Cork;
was at recent banquet in that city. This,
was the subject of long debates in both houses,
of Parliament this evening. The attention.
of members was called especially 10 the
Mayors language respecting O'Farrell. who.
attempted to assassinate Prince Alfred in
Sydney. Reference WAS also made 10 the
Prince himself The Tories upbraided Gov
ernment for being the indirect cause Of the
present state Of Ireiand
LONDON, May Ss--A public meeting wa,
held in the St. james Hall Tonight to nro.
test against the Disestahlishment bill. The.
resolutions passed strongly condemn Glad
stones bill, and call upon the House of Lords
to reject or materially alter it.
In the House of Commons, Bright said bs.
thought the present condition of affairs in,
Ireland gives no cause for panic, but h,c
urged that both parties should strive to RENE
dy the land grievance question ut this session,
Of Parliament. For himself he would not re-
main ON the Treasury bench if he did not
feel that he was honesty and energeticallvs
directing measures which would make ureafS
and salatary changes in Ireland The semi.
ment of the Church question will not STAY the;
present oatrages is that portion of the Unitetti
Kingdom; but it is the first example any
Parliament ever has given that it was willing
to do justice to Ireland and it is an earnest
of that intent.
Gladstone followed in support of BRIGHT
He had always found that the Protestant az
tendency in the form of religious establish
ments was the paramount cause of the mode
in which the power of the landlords irad been,
used. and by which the relation of tenants.
was vitality affected, and thought Lord Stan
leyshad anticipated too much in demanding n
policy upon the land question, and feared
that misapprehenSion would attach to any re-
presentation that might be given anew but
lt was necessary to avoid the appearance of
having suggested a measure from fear of a.
panic, or upon momentary occasion. He
concluded by saving that the Governments
was anxious to substitute fer the present con-
ditlon a state of confidence in the country
and loyalty To the Crown
Claiborne Hardy. Conservative, urged the
removal Of the Mayor of Cork. He consider
ed that the Government was bound to declare
its policy on the land question, and thus dis
sipate the unreasonable expectations of Ire =
land. The subject was then dropped.
