Early Life i'm California.

At the recent Pioneer Celebration in San
Francisco, Mr.. John S. Hittell delivered an
grafton rich in reminiscence of early life in
California The following is an interesting
passage:-
Of the army of twenty thousand men who
in May, 1S49, broke camp at various points
on the banks of the Missouri river, between
Council Bluffs and Independence, to march
to the land of gold, was one. A few had
pack animals or mule teams, but most had
Oxen-three yoke and three men to WAGON
in which we had provisions Cor a Year.
as there was then no stock in the mines,
ana we knew no. when we should find a
supply as for the men, we were the flower
". the West nearly all young, active,
healthy, many well educated, all full of
hope and enthusiasm. In our ignorance of
the nature Of auriferous deposits we expected,
unless particularly unfortunate, to strike
places where we should dig up two or three
| hundred pounds of gold in q day without diff
| ficulty. In visions by day, and in dreams by
night, we saw ourselves in the possession of
treasures more splendidssthan those that daz-
zled the eyes of Aladdin. We compared our
| selves to the Argonauts, to the army of Alex
ander starting to conquer Persia, to the Cru
saders. Our enthusiasm was maintained by
our numbers. The road, as far as we could
see by day from the highest mountains, was
lined with men and Wagons at night the camp
fires cleaned like the lights of city set on a
hill. Our bright anticipations suffered nc
diminution as We advanced on our journey;
vexatious, and tiresome as many of the de-
lays We're, we never forgot, we never doubted
the reward that was to compensate u.s. The
long march of two thousand miles (for we
were nearly all afoot and there were no seats in
the wagons, the tording and ferrying of colo
and swift rivers the repeated preparations fol
Indian attacks, Of which false alarms were
spread; the tedious guarding of the cattle a
night, the long marches over the deserts, tn,
oppressive heats and the still more oppressive
dust of the alkaline plains, the toilsom,
ascent of the mountains which seemed S,
steep that we doubted whether our oxen coulc
climb up alone-all these were borne, if no

cheerfully yet without regret that we had
ventured upon them can mention, but
cannot describe, my feelings on finding that
a desert which we expected to cross in forty
miles was much longer, and ON being told by
a man who met us that he had been thirty
miles beyond and found no sign of grass or
water. Our oxen were already exhausted, and
such a distance was impracticable. Nobody
that we knew had ever been over the road,
nor had we any guide. We went on,
however, and found two families men,
women, and children, in tears, their oxen all
dead, themselves helpless We still pressed
on, and the next morning we and the unfor-
tunate families were in camp on an oasis, and
fiddling and dancing followed the suffering
we looked from the summit of the Sierra
Nevada over the distant valley of the Sacra-
mento, dim and golden in the rays of the set
ting sun.

GrOtesque EpitapIas.
~ Nall Gazette saws: =

Ihe IdU IH0W GdS6tte Says:-
'"Ihe recent case of a gentleman who
quarreled with the authorities of suburban
cemetery for not allowing him to record on an
epitaph that his child had died from the effects
of vaccination, has had its counterpart in
Paris, whore some people have been COM
planning lately that there is an individual
attached.to every cemetery with the special
mission of amending the epitaphs accordingto
his own views of good taste and good grammar.
AS people are usually very touchy in all that
concerns their literary productions, one
is not surprised to learn that the authors of
rejected epitaphs have protested in vigorous
terms against the want of appreciativeness
displayed by these censors. This has in
duced one of the gentlemen assailed to come
forward and state his experiences, which ap-
pear, from an editors point of view, to be
narrowing. He declares that out of two
thousand odd epitaphs submitted to him
yearly five or six hundred are ill-spelled, as
many more ungrammatical, and hundred or
so perfectly grotesque." In the latter cate
CORY he places the following, which he suffered
to pass, and which, he says, sufficiently
prove his indulgence
''Here lies Mdme. Adelne c., good wife. She
would have done for her husband what the pelican
does for its young.
'Mdle. Marie Louise E.. She was an angel
upon earth. What Will she be in heaVen!!!! (The

widow and by his brother,who is Knight of the Le-
gion OF Honor.

life was one of self-denial and sacrifice
"Among the rejected are these:--
"Augustes c., aged ten. 'Ohe Maman one
Maame JOubertn were his last words.
'M Anatoe R, epcier sa mort plonge e

''The censor explains, in conclusion, that
he never refuses an epitaph of his own sole
authority, but refers it to the Prefect of Po-
lice, who alone has power to reject deci-
sively."

n.. THE SERIES EDITOR
Alderman NacEHuIIin.

Yesterday afternoon, having nothing particu-
lar TO do, l thought l would interview some OF
our great men. Taste and inclination led me TO
the Office of my old Democratic friend Bill Me-
Hullin.
As entered his office he took his feet down
off the desk and invited me within the railings
He had disposed of all his "cases' for the day

around his door, sailing under the colors Oh
constable" and who evidently ought to be dis
posed of also.
After seated myself, said !, bill, I've come
to interview you Said he, II expected as
much when I saw your mug at the door" We
then engaged in friendly chat, in which the
Alderman took me into his confidence, after ex-
tracing from me horrible oaths of secrecy. re-
member particularly how he told me thatif ever
breathed these things to any living soul he
would put head ON me-

Said l, "Bill, how is the Fourth ward going
next tuesday,"
BW.-"Well, we expect, if the boys all do their
duty, and we can learn in time just what is
wanted, the ward will do the usual"
s. E.-"Do you ever hear from that New York
Alderman that you locked upon in Moyamensing
over night some time ago?"
Bill Qaughingly).-"Oh yes. He has tried
many lodges to get me on to New York. He
advertised in the Philadelphia papers big re-
wardfor the Identification of some articles he
had at place down near the Battery, and which
he knew | was acquainted with He thought
would come on and see them; but sent one of
my constables on to get the reward and identify
the plunder, when he was seized and put in the
Tombs for three days before l could get him
out. Old Larry, the Alderman, thought it was
me he had all the time"
s. E.-"What do you think of the Fifteenth
Amendment ?"
BH.-"Who is it that's going to do that? L
think when q man gets as far as to make an
amendment for the fifteenth time, he is about as
far gone as myself. don't believe in any amend
ments when you are good Democrat. There
have been a good many fellows down to see me,
to get me to serve their party, but you see man
can't change all at once"
s. E.-"Alderman, what would you do with q
fellow found guilty of arson q?
Biu-"Make him marry the girl without hest
tation."
s. E.-'What is your opinion of st. Clair Null
holland?"
Billion he's fellow we don't have any
opinion about. Muly was once with the boys,
but now he puts on airs. We've got little
thing in soak for him."
s. E.-"Supposing, Alderman, at the election
polls some of the citizens or judges of the cleo
ton should question the right of some of your
boys to vote so often what would be the re-
sult?"
Biu-'They'd get bees around their head"
s. E.-"What do you mean?"
Bil-'I mean that the great Democratic party
will have no interference with their voting in
the Fourth ward-that is, not-if-they-kno
it" These last words were delivered with
that unction that only an alderman can do when
he means what he says.
s. E-"I suppose you would not second any
proceedings that were not strictly honorable?"
BiU-"Oh, no. When l was referee in the mill
between Morrissey and Heenan, 1 said every
thing should 90 fair, or there should be no fight
So when the boys ask me about how they shall
do on election day, tell them TO vote and keep
on voting unless they are first molested; then OF
course they must look out for themselves.

S. E-"Well, Alderman, l must go. You
have no objection to my putting this interview
in print ?"
Biu-'Not at all; but don't mention any

The Alderman then saw me to the door, ant
told me to look at the returns from the Fourtl
ward next Tuesday, and I'd ''see something
