the Mariposa Free Press, draws the
following beautiful picture of the
scene which presented itself I'VE

9pringtimel as she came down into
the san joaquin Valley, after leav-
ing her home in Mariposa, Cali

Was 1t dash Of SpirituaIism that
brought Alice Cary to me as [ loved |
and admired the charming scene? In |
her own sweet way how she talked !
in musical lines of all things lovely |
and loving. 'Of all the Pictures |
that Hang on 1Iemory's Wall has
ever been my favorite. I wander
down the dim old forest, and behold |
the milk-white lines and nodding
violets coquetting all day long with

call on me. adding that I favored
woman's rights very much. They'd d
call-they'd be on hand before day

them I'd have thirteen mops handy.
and the way these thirteen ''righters'
should handle these thirteen mops

course [ would not seek to degrade
a lady in any way, but the mop was
patented before woman's rights, and
somehow [ never think of woman s
rights without also seeming to see
a pair of pantaloons swinging in the
air before me.
There's only one more thing. I'd
go on little journey over Spain,
and call on every newspaper man [
could hear of, Radical or Democrat.
Walking up to the chief man about
the concern, I'd slap him on the
back, ask after his wife and babies
and say:

In the present suspicious condition of
Queen Nictoria's health, the most trifing
particulars possess an absorbing interest
tor the inhabitants Of both England and
the United States. The vague rumors of
impending insanity which have of late
been spread abroad are not wholly
9"oundless, to say the least, and it would
seem to be fact, no longer concealed,
that the Queens physicians are very I'M
easy concerning her. The latest advices
by steamer assert that Her Majesty has
given up many of her usual habits of
daily life, such as walking and driving,
supervising her household, etc. Of late
years she has been unable to give her at
tention to one thing for any length of
time. and whereas she was formerly an
excellent artist and musician, she now
seldom touches either brush or piano.
1t is this fact that causes her physicians
such uneaslness. They are unable to in
terest her, to hit upon any pursuit to
amuse her and divert her mind from the
past. Above all, they are DESTROYS of di
verting her thoughts from the memory Of
her husband. and this they have com.
pletely failed to do. 1t is more thar
probable that her mind is seriously i'm
paired, and that she will never again
take an active part in public affairs. She
does not make any effort to emerge from
her seclusion, but, on the contrary, ex
hibits positive repugnance to again don
the robes OF state, and absolute retirement
for the present at least, seems inevitable

between Augusta and Kendalrs Mills was
badly washed, imprisoning several trains
between that point and kendal's Mills
The track from kendal's Mills to Lew

there was a fearful sink on a bog, de-
stroying 500 feet Of the track. There was
an immense labor to do in getting the

Late on Saturday afternoon, Can't. saac Clark
of the schooner j. F. Merriam, of Belfast, NOV
lying in the river at this porD came on board
after 4 short absence and was going into the
cabin, when he thought he detected a slight
noise within, and he stopped and listened.
Somebody was tumbing things about, it was
evident, and the captain 'hailed" the invisible
chap. The noise ceased, and on inspection the
door was found to be fastened on the inside
Mounting guard with his revolver, Captain
Clark sent man up in the city to Police head
quarters, meantime informing his prisoner that
an attempt at escape would result is serious
damage to the escapst. The City Marshal came
down directly he was Informed and the thief
was Immediately interviewed, being found
with pair of pants, vest and other articles
of clothing on, which he had just stolen and
was preparing to escape with.
CITY Marshal Bolton at once recognized the
chap as oneAntonyiM Murray, who was sentenced
by the Supreme Judicial Court for this County
to two years imprisonment in the State Prison,
on the 81 of September, 1869, for breaking and
entering the store of Davis & Robinson in the
night time, and stealing quantity of goods and
money. He had therefore beer released but a

IAN Iowa wife put starch in her hus-
bands Private despatches,' is what q
mixing Of paragraphs makes the Portland
Advertiser say.
A complication is likely to arise out
of the case of the fishing schooner E. A.
Horton, of Gloucester. She was seized
by Dominion cutter, for alleged viola
ton of the fishery law, and taken into
Guysboro. A party of American fisher
men went in at night, took possession,
and went to sea with her. If she gets
home, and is demanded, what is to be
done?
Since the above was in type, it is an
nounced that all English man-of-war is
cruising off Boston awaiting the Horizons
arrival The collector of Gloucester
had q consultation with the President,
| and the revenue cutter Mahoning has
been despatched under sealed orders !;
also it is said, a frigate has been
sent from the navy yard to Gloucester,
and future developments are anxiously
awaited.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. II. All about
the streets notices are posted giving tele-
grams from Surveyor Smith and the COM
mandant of Charlestown Navy Yard, ask
ing and notifying that a gunboat had been
sent to protect the E. A. Horton. Col
lector Babson has telegraphed for the
Revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch of Port
land, which will reach this port to-day.
The Mahoning has already come and
gone outside These will make fleet of
four vessels in these waters and any at
tempt to seize the Horton by English YES
sells will meet with successful resistance
The Mahoning is said to have strict or
ders not to let the Horton be taken. The
gunboat Fortune has just got back and
reports not having seen anything of the
English vessels or the Horton.
